THE PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT CHRISTMAS

Christmas is not the Apostolic Christian Festival because it is associated with many pagan birth myths—and Dec. 25 was not the date of Christ's birth according to the Bible and all Historical Evidences.

Christmas, this Babylonian Pagan Festival was incorporated into the Catholic Church in the 4th century after 325 AD. Prior to that time, Dec 25th was a day set aside for pagan worship. By the 5th century, the Catholic Church ordered that the birth of Christ be celebrated on Dec 25th.Hence since 336 AD the Catholic Churches started observing this pagan Festival called Christmas.

Dec 25th was the same date of the Roman Feast of the birth of Sol, the sun god. Sol is also known as Nimrod the son and husband to the Semiramis. (Eze 8:14).Dec 25th is also a time to celebrate Tammuz (the reincarnated Nimrod). In Ezekiel 8:4, the Prophet spoke of how the people turned their backs to the temple of the Lord's house, prayed toward the east (sun god) and worshipped TAMMUZ.

The Lord tells us to commemorate his death through the Lord's Supper However, Nowhere does the LORD JESUS tell us to celebrate His birth. I Cor 11 :26.

The custom of giving gifts was adopted from the acts of St. Nicholas who lived in the 4th century and the Christmas tree represents the body of Nimrod and is considered an idol. Jeremiah mentioned the decorating of the fir tree. Jer 10: 1-4.Through the generations, in this idolatrous worship, Nimrod became the false Messiah, son of Baal the Sun-god.

In this false Babylonish system, the "Mother and Child," (Semiramis and Nimrod reborn), became chief objects of worship. This worship of "Mother and Child" spread over the world. The names varied in different countries and languages. In Egypt, it was Isis and Osiris. In Asia, Cybele and Deoius. In Pagan Rome, Fortuna and Jupiter , Even in India Greece, China, Japan, Tibet is to be found the counterpart of the Madonna, long before the birth of Christ!

Thus, during the 4th and 5th centuries, when the pagans of the Roman world were "accepting" the new popular "Catholism Christianity" by hundreds of thousands, carrying their old Pagan customs and beliefs along with them, merely cloaking them with Christian-sounding names, the Madonna and "Mother and Child" idea also became popularized, especially at Christmas time.

God condemns using pagan customs:

God gives us specific instruction about using pagan practices to worship Him—the exact thing Christmas does! Notice what He says in Deut 12:30-32: ". . . Do not inquire after their gods, saying, 'How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.' You shall not worship the LORD your God in that way . . . Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it".

And lest some think this is simply an OT command that no longer applies, the apostle Paul makes the same point in 2 Cor 6, where he addresses whether unbiblical religious customs and practices have any place in the worship of God's people:

"What fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?.. " (Read 2 Cor 6:14-18; 2 Cor 7:1).Rather than relabeling Pagan customs as Christian, or allowing members of the Catholic Church to continue their old pagan practices, the Apostle Paul told them in no uncertain terms to leave behind all these forms of worship and worship God in true holiness as He commands. Jesus likewise says His true followers "must Worship in spirit and truth" (John 4:24)—not revel in recycled pagan customs and symbolism.

THE ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS:
The real origin of Christmas goes back to the ancient Babylon. It is bound up in the organized apostasy with which Satan has gripped a deceived world these many centuries! In Egypt, it was always believed that the son of Isis (Egyptian name for "Queen of Heaven") was born December 25th. Paganism celebrated this famous birthday over most of the known world for centuries before the birth of Christ.
Catholic Church started officially observing this pagan Christmas festival since 336 AD.

THE EARLY CHURCH NEVER CELEBRATED CHRIST.

Dec 25th is not the birthday of Jesus the true Christ! The Apostles and Early TRUE CHURCH NEVER Celebrated Christ's birthday at any time. There is no command or instruction to celebrate it in the whole Bible—rather, the celebrating of birthdays is a pagan, not a Christian custom, believe it or not!
Thus the ancient idolatrous "Chaldean Mysteries," founded by this wife of Nimrod, have been handed down through the pagan religions under new Christian-sounding names.

Jesus provides the answer in His stern rebuke of the religious teachers of His day, men who had substituted human traditions and teachings for God's divine truths and commands:
"Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites . . . 'in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men... "Mark 7:6-9).
