Why do Christians continue to celebrate Christmas on December 25 when it is based on paganism? Why doesn't the church teach why That day was chosen as Jesus' birthday? The truth needs to be taught.
Why do you assume December 25th is a 'pagan' day and not a Christian day? Are you 100% sure it wasn't a Christian day already before others started pretending it was instead 'their' day? Should Christians then cower and yield to evil everytime evil challenges them?
What if you researched and found that every day of the year could be associated with some kind of witchcraft, pagan, satanic, or other evil forces, does that mean Christians should never do anything ever again? What if the opposite happened- that Christians stopped being afraid and stood up and boldly celebrated Jesus?
Christmas is the #1 holiday in the world and it is a Christian holiday. To many it is the only time they hear about Jesus- some for the first time. Yes, it's imperfect and some people distort and commercialize and mass up the message, but you have to admit it gets through, and people have a lot of associations with love, family, and Jesus. Why would you want to take away? If someone's goal is to remove the one opportunity some have to learn about Jesus are they doing the work of God or of satan?
So, if we don't know precisely what day Jesus was born is that a reason to stop all celebrating of Jesus on Christmas?
Betty might be a Jehovah's Witness. They don't celebrate any holidays or special occasions. Not even their kids' birthdays. I knew a couple of former JWs and they would get so mad about never having had a birthday. I guess they think we all worship everyone with a pagan holiday for every person we know. Strange customs are one sign of it being a cult. Jews only had sad holidays.
A lot of atheistic and anti-Christian documentaries are out now, trying to hide the divine mystery of Christ. One of these is Zeitgeist, which purports to debunk Christianity as being a copy of older pagan rituals that men who wrote the Bible stole. However, we know there is nothing older than God, the Alpha and Omega. Christ was set to be our Redeemer always, from the beginning of time and even before that. Men did not write the Bible alone. Satan is the liar. He is the one who stole the story and presented it over and over in hopes of defiling the miracles of God.
So yes, Satan made Isis, Osirus, and Horus. Nimrod dies and his mother Semiramis says she is pregnant by her dead son with his own reincarnation. There was a tree with presents underneath around the winter solstice. Saturnalia worshipped Saturn, another named for Satan. Sol Invictus was the birthday of the sun, the 25th of Dec. But what if all that was planned because Satan knew beforehand that Christ would be born then? Why do we celebrate Easter? That is a fertility ritual named after goddess Ishtar. It's based on Passover, not the equinox. It's a Resurrection celebration. Eggs and bunnies bring back the fertility thing. God said our offspring would number like grains of sand. Be fruitful!
Sin and death were conquered. We're free from the old Law through grace.
I Cor 2:7-8
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Why does Revelations have the following verse in all capital letters ? does this have some correlation to persons names being written in all capitals ? possibly symbolising dead entities ? A similar question could be posed as to why Lord is written in various ways such as:
LORD, Lord, lord
Revelation 17:5
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Says who? It hasn't to me. Has it to you? Just because a small, but loud group says or does something or just because TV propaganda says something doesn't mean it's true or that I have any less right to celebrate Jesus Christ every day. No one can take that away. Christ is literally in the name Christmas.
