A short summary of the development of Christmas as we know it today.

| In Rome, over 300 years AFTER the resurrection of Jesus
Christ, pagan Romans celebrated the birthday of sun-god Saturn -
the god of harvest.
Saturn was visually depicted as an old bent over man. In one hand, he has a scythe (sickle) ripping into the earth, and in his other hand was a serpent eating his own tail. The significance of the description is Saturn eating his own children when then is applied to time creating and destroying it's own creation. (The spiritual application would be the devil taking his
own children with him
Saturn was the youngest son of Uranus (heaven) and Gaea (earth) in Roman Mythology. The Greeks called him Kronos and to the Romans, they called him Saturn and believed he was the god of Harvest. The "celebration' is based on the winter solstice. They believed that the sun died and then rose again as the days become longer and lighter again, thus the 'birth' of the sun-god again. This celebration was called the Feast of Saturnalia and was held December 17-24 with the final celebration on the 25th. The Feast of Saturnalia

They started to celebrate the birthday of Son-God Jesus
in AD 354 when Bishop Liberius ordered people to "celebrate" Son of God
birthday on the 25th of December with the Mass, thus the term "Celebrate
the Mass."
Celebrating the birthday of Christ is actually 'killing him' in the ceremony because that is what Mass means. They have taken the birth of Christ and have changed all the scriptural details regarding the truth of the story and have fabricated them to the level of a 'fable.' There are days before and days after Christmas that are 'celebrated' through their liturgy, etc. Catholics have maintained all of the characteristics of the Ba-al worshipping bunch - they hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, as well. Note in Revelation 2:13-15 how the Bible describes the Catholic church in those days. You won't find a better description of the Catholic Church. 13: I
know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and
thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those
days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where
Satan dwelleth.

People say less & less that they celebrate birthday
of baby Jesus; however few people believe that God manifested himself in
the flesh anymore, so only the 'baby' Jesus is the 'reason for the season."!
Fewer and fewer are aware let alone concerned about the 'grown up' Jesus Christ. The Nativity scene, as created by St. Francis Assisi supposedly represents the religious aspect of Christmas. This Nativity scene is totally a false picture when compared to the scrutiny of the Scriptures. The emphasis of the 'celebration' is all trees, lights, holly, mistletoe, yule log, gifts, family, food and music etc etc. etc and even more etc. etc. The roots and development of those Christmas 'holiday' representations are intensely perverted as they relate to sexual application and rites of fertility. However, most people have no clue as to the origination of these 'christmas ornamentations.' It truly is quickly becoming a 'gay occasion' as according to politically correct terminology. As Bible Believers, we don't pray the rosary because it is a Catholic thing; we don't pray the dead out of purgatory; we don't pray to saints; we don't pray to idols; we don't lift up the pope; etc. so why do we do so well as we try to explain-away Christmas so we can still 'celebrate Christmas? Christmas is an activity that is totally Catholic! There is not one ounce of scriptural in factual detail to support any 'birthday celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ! None!! This Christmas scene maintains all the characteristics
of the Feast of Saturnalia. In fact, the new years depiction of the
old and new year appear to be very similar to their god Saturn.

No Jesus allowed publically, soon no Jesus 'wanted' privately!
No religious aspect whatsoever appears to be of any interest to anyone! Santa is the man of the hour - and ALL of his characteristics of Jesus Christ are put onto him. Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas truly means ha, ha, ha the death of Christ! The perverted elements of Christmas take the main stage in the visual element of Christmas. Kids are the center of attraction and do all that they can to 'believe' in Santa. Christmas has gone from the worship of the 'child' Jesus to the worship of the children of this world. Truly a fictitious character, kids still believe in Santa and all that he represents with adults follow the 'spirit' of Christmas, neither of which pertains to Jesus Christ. Christmas never did include the truth of Jesus Christ - nor did Christmas ever receive the blessings of God - but now it is officially and finally obvious that a different spirit and a different Christ is involved in the festivities of Christmas. Christmas today maintains all the characteristics of the Feast of Saturnalia. In fact, the new years depiction of the old and new year appear to be very similar to their god Saturn. Do you see how the devil has used Christmas as another of his devices in his attempt to reach the most high status? Satan has the rule of the roost but he eventually will be dethroned, but for now, he IS the prince and power of the air & the god of this world, etc. He does truly receive the worship more and more these days - even some Bible Believers still 'play' Christmas. The last and final "Christmas" takes place in Revelation chapter 11 - And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. - verse 10 |
Take the Axe to the Roots of Christmas
Matthew 3:10
And now also the axe is laid unto the
root of the trees:
therefore every tree which bringeth not forth
good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
As Bible Believers come to the realization that Christmas and the Bible do NOT go together, they come to the frustration of 'what to do' in regards to this 'holiday.'
If one were to look at the development of the modern fable, one would see that Bible Believers really ought to know better. Seeing as how we don't do the rosary, we don't pray for the dead, we don't pray to saints - in fact, if we ever see any Catholicistic activity within our own church and family, we ought to react the same to Christmas as it doesn't take long to see that Christmas is just a Catholic thing - totally.
It has gone from pagan Rome to Catholic Rome. Catholic Rome has so grossly infiltrated America that a 'holy day' that involves giving and receiving gifts in the name of love (thank you Diana Ross) and all the traditional things that have developed in all of our lives and families, we just can't seem to 'put off' this thing.
I understand how this whole Christmas awareness seems to be part of the growing part of a Christian's life, so this is not a judgmental approach - these are just the facts and this particular page is just an overview with a little Scriptural application to help one see the lie that Christmas is. It is a lie in regards to the festive atmosphere (perverted roots, actually) and the Biblical element is based on scriptures twisted so much you would think someone out there would catch on just be reading their Bible. But like I say, the struggle to put off Christmas is one of the biggest ones for Christians.
Let's look at a few Scriptures now and I challenge you to ask the Holy Spirit to show you 'the truth' and what you ought to do regarding this fable. Surely you must feel the frustrations, the confusion, the financial factors in Christmas that cause such 'questions' in our walk to please God. Maybe these Scriptures will help you.
Refuse Christmas - it is a profane
fable.
Profane: Irreverent; proceeding
from a contempt of sacred things, or implying it; Not sacred; secular;
relating to secular things;
As people get more and more involved with Christmas, they turn more and more unto fables!
Christmas is a fable that turns people (children especially) from the truth!
Now that we are saved, we are not to fellowship or
partake with Christmas.
We are to reprove it!
Following the Christmas tradition is not following after Christ!
Christmas can make your Bible of none effect!
Do you hang on to Christmas to please the family or God?
You will be treated like Jesus was treated if you try to tell the truth regarding Christmas
