I know I am really good at bursting bubbles (seems to be my lot in life) but I see so many people stating that Jesus is the reason for the season when in fact He is not. Or "I am keeping Christ in Christmas" When the holiday as we know it has absolutely nothing to do with the birth of Christ. Christmas (Winter Solstice) is a Pagan holiday set on a Pagan calendar, as are many of our holidays. December 25th is the birthday of many Pagan gods. Christmas is not a Christian holiday and the bible states many things against the way we celebrate it. Christmas is a marketing scam straight from Hell the same as Halloween and others. Santa is an exploitation of the real Christian man who I am sure would never have agreed with whats become of our incorporation of Pagan rituals into our Christian beliefs. I speak so much rebuke on the ways of the world invading the church and it gets me into a lot of trouble, I wonder why that is ...
Could it be because the truth hurts and noone wants to hear it for fear it will destroy everything they LIKE to have in their lives and would mean they have to let it all go!?
Good tidings and goodwill towards men (Luke 2:10-14) never specified a time of year to carry out these acts. The star or angel we put at the top of our trees does not represent the North Star or any heavenly angel. They are based on Pagan tradition and demon worship (Baphomet) ... and the tree is a Pagan invention, Jeremiah 10. For those of you who think you are representing a heavenly angel or the North Star I suggest you read Exodus 20:4. This could also apply to the defense of dressing up as angels or Jesus for Halloween. Regardless of what you believe about the demons, the scriptures say not to have these things ...
For anyone questioning the issue about "Christmas Trees" or the video Ive shared about Christmas, Psalm 92:12-14 depicts the tree as something Holy, righteous and UNCORRUPTED!
This blasphemous tradition has been incorporated into our minds so that it has become accepted as truth ...
Ask yourselves this:
If Christmas was truly Christs birthday and if it were truly biblical and Christian, or if it were not Pagan, do you really think in our time when the U.S persecutes and bans Christian representations from public places and schools that it would still be allowed and legal? Or that trees and decor would be permitted? I am not referring to things such as the manger. That gets attacked because it is a biblical event (just a different time of year) ... I am talking about how Christmas is a marketing scam sourced from Old Pagan traditions. And if you think that the name Santa did not originally derive from Satan, you are sorely mistaken ...
Now we had a tree, but placed nothing at the top of it. We did gifts and moderate decor, but did our best to avoid anything with Santa Clause. The point is that its all still man made traditions, but we were are careful not to have any object of so called worship set at the top of the tree so as not to be deceived by our own arrogance. In fact after going thru this research I will never put up a tree again ... And a manger is something that could be kept out all year long instead of just one month out of the year which is not even the right month of the birth to begin with. At least the star over the manger is a correct representation ...
The springtime would be more accurate when we celebrate yet another Pagan holiday called Easter and are told it represents the time when Christ was crucified. I find it pretty hypocritical that we allow ourselves to celebrate these events of Christ's time on earth at the wrong times of the year using days invented by Druids and Pagans ...
Another deception are people who attend church twice a year and actually believe that is there ticket into Heaven ...
Id prefer to no longer attend any Easter or Christmas services under all the false pretenses it sets. I remember always seeing it as strange for a tree to be set up in any part of a church, but didn't know why. I certainly do not go to any so called Fall Festivals which are no less than celebrated Halloween/costume parties that have been simply renamed to justify the action. Hence deceiving the people we wish to bring in and save. And yet we wonder how it is that church has become little more than entertainment and social hour!
Let me tell you something. All the things you see in church now, the dazzling light shows and more music than preaching. Even more talking in the pews than praying. (the costume parties in October) Let me wave a flashlight in your face, does this make you feel like worshiping God!? Do you know how many young people I talk to who actually do not even like the light shows, and yet somehow places like IBC and many of our larger churches have taken on these dance club, rock concert forms of celebration. Is this what we really want our tithes paying for!? Is it what God finds necessary!? Much of that was NOT there when I was going in my youth! What does that tell you? We have NOT changed the world, the world has changed US! My word now we are even using shorthand to say God Bless You texting "GBY" and Praise The Lord "PTL". Im sure God really appreciates that!!!
I have been going on so much about entertainment and secular traditions overrunning our churches in recent years, but in truth it has been happening for centuries.
I have been in the habit for many years of calling the Holiday Season just that. It seems to last from Halloween right on thru to 4th of July. Even our Independence Day no longer resembles any truth as one freedom after another is being robbed from right in front of our very eyes while we sit around at home watching the conspired programming and playing video games keeping us distracted from dealing with the problems and people destroying everything around us.
We watch the news and shake our heads then go back to doing whatever keeps our minds off the issues ... meanwhile allowing the devil to sneak into our congregations as well as our homes causing division and strife. Deceiving our hearts into thinking everything is fine and dandy when in fact we are paving our own paths straight to Hell!
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions ...

New Living Translation: Zephaniah 1:9
Yes, I will punish those who participate in pagan worship ceremonies, and those who fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.
"Participate" does not mean worship. It simply means you are involved or contribute in some way ...
Just because we don't bow down and worship something we have in our houses does not change what it represents! Including televisions, paraphenilia, celebrity material and shrines. I am not telling you that having these things will necessarily send you to Hell. I cannot make that call. You have to decide how important your relationship with God is and how important the influence of His word is in your own life ...
