Christmas is for Pagans
Christmas is a Pagan holiday - "Christmas" is not in the Bible, and we are not commanded to celebrate
Yahshua’s birth in all of Scripture. The Messiah was not born on or near December 25. He was born
sometime in late September (most likely Sept. 29) or early October during the Feast of Tabernacles, but
no one can be sure of the exact day. If the Almighty Sovereign Creator Yahweh, wanted us to celebrate
the correct day He would have told us in Lev. 23.
December 25th was celebrated by the Pagan sun-worshippers of Mithraism as the "birthday of the
invincible sun," because on that day the sun began its return to the northern skies "the winter solstice."
And so, the sun and the Son have become a deliberate Pagan mix. Tammuz, the Babylonian Pagan sun
deity, was the first counterfeit savior. The Scriptures in Ezekiel 8:14-18 condemns ancient Israel for
adopting worship of the Pagan god Tammuz, which included sun worship and the Asherah (a phallic
symbol). The Christian cross symbol is actually the letter "t" the symbol for the Pagan god tammuz with
it's many shapes and forms. All cross symbols are of Pagan origin and date thousands of years before
our Messiah's birth. The Messiah was executed on an upright stake not on a cross with a horizontal cross
member.
December 25th was also the date of the Pagan Brumalia (winter) festival in Rome. It was preceded by the
Saturnalia festival Dec. 17-24 - in honor of the Roman god Saturn, as a period of unrestrained merriment
in celebration of the winter solstice, and the “return” of the Sun.
The Saturnalia and Brumalia festivals were so popular among the heathen and so deeply entrenched in
their customs, that rather than attempt to reform the Pagan populous the Roman Church, the Emperor
Constantine, chose instead to absorb their festivities into the Constantine Roman Catholic Church. This
corrupted form of Christianity continues to be with us today, and has crept into many modern so-called
"Christian" but are now actually "Pagan" Churches.
The word Christmas is a contraction for "Christ's Mass." The "mass" is a man-made Constantine
Roman Catholic ceremony in which the Messiah is sacrificed over and over again in what is called an
"unbloody sacrifice." It is taught that the true believer cannot be fully cleansed of his sins unless he
partakes of this sacrifice at mass over and over again. This is a complete corruption of the full forgiveness
available from Yahweh for sincere repentance. It is also an abomination of Yahweh's commandments
against the eating/drinking of blood (even if symbolically). This is an act, which closely resembles
cannibalism, forbidden by Yahweh.
Christmas trees, Yule logs, Christmas candles, bells, mistletoe, holly, wreaths, pork-ham, tinsel, lights,
balls, eggs, Santa Claus, and the 'cross symbol' have nothing to do with the Messiah's birth, or with
Biblical Israelism (Yahwism) belief in the one true Mighty One. All these things have a non-Scriptural
Pagan source. Most of these customs are rooted in fertility rites, in Pagan symbols, or in sun worship from
a Pagan past and were grafted into the "Constantine Roman Christian" church during and after the third to
the fourth century.
Notice what the prophet Jeremiah wrote in connection with tree-idol worship (the decorating of
trees): "thus says Yahweh, learn not the way of the heathen . . . for the customs of the people are vain: for
one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with
silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers that it move not. They are upright as the
palm tree, but speak not; they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. ." (Jer. 10:2-5). This is a
complete description of the modern Pagan Christmas tree!
