THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MODERN FABLE

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

ROMAN PAGANS...
...to ROMAN CATHOLICS
...to "MODERN" PEOPLE
... to CHRISTMAS 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
to the Lake of Fire!)

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

  • Public religious ceremonies were held as a 'holy day.'
  • Pigs sacrificed at Banquets
  • It was a "gay occasion"
  • It was a time of "merriment"
  • Public business halted
  • Schools closed
  • Court system shut down
  • Criminals were not punished
  • Gifts were exchanged from house to house on the last day - they were called sigillaria and were usually small clay images

  •  

     
     
     
     
     

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.
14:  But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
15:  So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

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.


The Christmas 'issue' is full of questions among Bible Believers.
That is because we give heed to Christmas
I Timothy 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

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;

I Timothy 4:7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

As people get more and more involved with Christmas, they turn more and more unto fables!

II Timothy 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Christmas is a fable that turns people (children especially) from the truth!

Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

Now that we are saved, we are not to fellowship or partake with Christmas.
We are to reprove it!

Ephesians 5:6-11 - Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Following the Christmas tradition is not following after Christ!

Colossians 2:8 - Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Christmas can make your Bible of none effect!

Matthew 15:3,6 -  But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?  ... Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

Do you hang on to Christmas to please the family or God?

Galatians 1:10 - For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
How you do Christmas affects how you are building upon your foundation!
I Corinthians 3:10 -  According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

You will be treated like Jesus was treated if you try to tell the truth regarding Christmas

John 8:40-45 - But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
The Fruit of Christmas
Matthew 7:15-20 - Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Take the AXE to 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.
Burn not only the tree, but the entire fable!
