Is CHRISTMAS A Pagan Festival? by baylrc4real(m): 8:34am On Dec 11, 2016 |
As Christmas is forthcoming many Christians and non christians are happy to celebrate the birth of Jesus, but I always ask this question if this is not pagan then why is it not written in the bible, why didn't any disciple observed it, then why is it that Jesus never command us to do it. But since Jesus never taught His apostles to keep Christmas, nor did they ever teach it to the Church though they had years of opportunity to do so, shouldn’t that make us question whether Christmas is something Jesus really wants or appreciates? So how did Christmas become such a widespread practice if the Bible doesn’t sanction it, if Christ didn’t observe it and if He never taught His disciples and the early Church to celebrate it? if we are doing it out of love for Christ, is Jesus really that celebrated? when you hear more of santa claus/ father Christmas, Christmas tree, festival full of sins. Just because some 2 billion people—roughly 1 billion Catholics and another billion in Protestant faiths—observe Christmas, does that make it right? Does Was Jesus really born on Dec. 25? Was Christ really born on Christmas Day? After all, the Bible nowhere tells us the day of His birth In fact, most credible secular historical writings tell us that Christmas, more than 200 years after Jesus’ death, was considered sinful: “As late as A.D. 245 [the early Catholic theologian] Origen … repudiates as sinful the very idea of keeping the birthday of Christ” (Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th edition, 1910, Vol. 6, p. 293, “Christmas”). True origins of Christmas Most people never stop to ask themselves what the major symbols of Christmas—Santa Claus, reindeer, decorated trees, holly, mistletoe and the like—have to do with the birth of the Savior of mankind. In the southern hemisphere summer climate of December, few people question why they observe a Christmas with northern hemisphere winter scenery! The fact is, and you can verify this in any number of books and encyclopedias, that all these trappings came from ancient pagan festivals. Even the date, Dec. 25, came from a festival celebrating the birthday of the ancient sun god Mithras. Desist and Repent from Pagan Worship celebrate Christ buy evangelizing and be holy. God bless you.

Of course its a pagan festival that have nothing to with pure worship...even from d scripture we can deduced that christ was no where born by December. .. false teachers and preachers today keep propagating a doctrine that has no root in d bible. |

I didn't invite you to worship Idols, Jesus, Sun or any of God creation.My duty is only to invite you and only God that can give you guidance. I am not buying data just to ridicule anybody. My intention is just to invite to the path for those that are ignorance of the way or trying honestly to find the path. |
