The Truth About Christmas

Last week we did an article on the real truth of Chanukah.

This week we are going to take a brief look at Christmas. There is volumes on this subject, but if you have the Internet look up "Christmas", "Mithraism" "Constantine" and follow these out and you will see that Christmas is a pagan festival with Biblical names instead of the pagan ones.

There is nothing truthful about the whole thing. The first "christ-mass" was celebrated in 311 A.D. Nothing was done about the birth of Messiah for three huindred years. The Jewishness of the faith was outnumberred by gentiles who had little regard for the Torah or Israel. The so called "church fathers" became that way because their doctrine agreed with Constantine's pagan Christianity. Mithraism was the worship of the sun as a divinity. His name was Mithra.

It was the religion of Constantine until he died. He was the high priest of the Mithraic mysteries. He came to power in 310 A.D. and declared December 25 as the birth of 'Jesus", merely replacing it with Mithra. December 25 was Mithra's "birthday", having much to do with the winter solstice as anything. People were already used to that date , so he renamed it. Biblical festivals, sabbath and commandments were outlawed and replacement theology christianity was well established now. There is nothing biblical about Christmas and there never was.

Christmas tree 's are just another name for the Asherah"s that were used as female sexual images, and these are also forbidden in Jer 10.1-5. I know.people will say "we don't do that anymore, these things don't symbolize that anymore" but a rose by any other name is still a rose. Do your own research on these things and you will see if G-d favors it or not. The same reasons why people don't celebrate Halloween are the same reasons why a believer in the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and Yeshua as His Messiah would never participate in something so overtly pagan in origin. If one believes in Yeshua, you will want to stay away from things that are not true. But, many just profess with their mouths but not with their hearts and actions.

There are scriptures alluding to this winter festival in Isaiah and the context is the second coming of Messiah. And in those verses the L-rd says that those who celebrate it have forsaken G-d, and the festivities are like vomit. The truth about Christmas is not hidden under a basket somewhere, it is out in the open for anyone to see. I like this time of year because it allows me to stand against it and tell people the truth. But, people don't want to listen, but they will not ever be able to say nobody ever told them. Yeshua was probably, based on Luke 1, conceived at Chanukah and born during the feast of Sukkot in the fall, around Sept-Oct. History says Herod died in September ,4 BC, and we know Yeshua was born by then.

The December birth is pure Mithraism from Constantine. Again, if you want to walk in truth you cannot celebrate Christmas. It is pagan in origin, instituted by pagans and perpetuated by people who don't believe. Do the research if you really want to know. If you don't, you better not look. You won't like what you see. You might be convinced and have to change, and afterall, that would be just too hard. You might have to stand up to your wife or children. Your mommy might get mad at you and your friends may not like you. It doesn't matter to you that G-d might be offended, it isn't easy and it's too hard to change. So, sit there and have a nice Christmas. The L-rd will discuss it with you soon, maybe next year.
