The American Founding Gangsters are to blame for all the dysfunction in the American society; those lunatics pretended that man was born perfect but only get polluted once in contact with government. They were wrong and they should have heeded Saint Paul who warned the whole world about human nature and defect from birth. Are you trying to convince me that those slave owners who decimated millions of Native Americans and took possession of their land were CHRISTIAN? Does the Jefferson Bible resemble something a Christian would write or edit? Are you kidding me? DEFINE CHRISTIANITY THEN !

Psalms 35 read it fear no more🙏🏽

Thank you for the reminder of the urgency of the great commission. We have work to do.

Thankful for preaching that doesn't "change the word" to reflect today's culture. Today's culture is not good, it should change according to God's word.

These sermons are really helping me in my walk with Jesus. Thank you.

The date of December 25th for the birth of Jesus is a straightforward deduction from Scripture, analyzed in conjunction with historical knowledge about those who worked in the temple. In other words, it was derived from considerations having nothing whatsoever to do with Roman ‘pagan’ festivals or any other December-related cultural or non-Christian religious activities. That said, scholars know today that his birth was not likely in what is now December. According to the Liber Pontificalis, Pope St. Telesphorus (125-136) instituted the tradition of celebrating midnight Mass. St. Theophilus (AD 115-181), bishop of Caesarea, stated, “We ought to celebrate the birthday of Our Lord on what day soever the 25th of December shall happen.” [Magdeburgenses, de orign Festorum Chirstianorum]. In short, Christmas was already being celebrated by Christians by the early 100’s AD. With respect to Christmas deriving from Mithras or Saturnalia - Saturnalia was the Roman festival of Saturn celebrated on 17 December. Celebrations continued after Saturnalia for several days, finishing sometime between 19 and 23 December (depending on which century we’re talking about). It was likely originally farming festival (given that it honoured Saturn); historical evidence is unclear. In any event, there is no link to Christmas, and the date is not at all the same. The fact that Saturnalia might have had some influence on Christmas isn’t evidence that it did. The modern custom of gift-giving at Christmas only goes back to the 16th century. That is when (Martin) Luther introduced the Christkind in an attempt to discourage Catholic veneration of St. Nicholas, who was associated with gift-giving on his feast day of 6 December. There is zero evidence to suggest continuity in gift giving all the way back to when Saturnalia was still being celebrated. Another candidate for a pagan Roman festival that Christmas supposedly appropriated, or incorporated, or supplanted is Sol Invictus, which at least fell on December 25th. But, the earliest date provided by historical evidence for the Roman celebration is 274 AD, when it was instituted by the Roman emperor Aurelian. The December 25th date for this festival, however, did not begin in 274. It came eighty years later! In short, Christmas was celebrated on 25 Dec. prior to any pagan celebration on the same date. The beginning of the observance of Sol Invictus on December 25th, started anywhere from 70-220 years after Christians were celebrating Christmas on that date. So the myth of Christmas coming from Sol Invictus can be safely laid to rest. Indeed, some historians suggest that Sol Invictus was instituted on 25 December by the Romans to counter the Christian celebration of Christmas; not the other way around. The idea that Christmas is ‘pagan’ actually comes from die-hard Protestant fundamentalists in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries. In those centuries, many Protestants regarded holidays like Christmas and Easter as “Popery” and therefore sought to discredit them by linking them with ancient paganism. The idea that Christmas might be pagan was advanced as early as 1648 in the work Certain Queries Touching the Rise and Observation of Christmas, written by the Puritan Joseph Heming. Later fundamentalist writers took the idea and ran with it. One particularly influential writer was Alexander Hislop (1807-1865), a minister for the Free Church of Scotland who published a pamphlet in 1853 titled The Two Babylons. In this pamphlet, Hislop claimed that Roman Catholicism is really nothing more than re-branded Babylonian paganism and that all the holidays associated with Catholicism are actually ancient Babylonian religious festivals in honor of the heathen gods. Hislop was a zealot, vehemently anti-Catholic, and a crank whose ideas had almost no factual basis whatsoever, but his work became extremely influential among Protestant fundamentalists. It is from Hislop that the concept of Christmas as the “birthday of Tammuz” derives. [Some of the above comes from an article published 8.DEC.21 by D. Armstrong] The above said, there is no denying that some traditions and customs surrounding Christmas are derived from pre-Christian beliefs and practices; the tree (a Germanic tradition), the “plant” traditions - holly, ivy, mistletoe (from the Celts). Indeed, many of our present-day customs and traditions, from the days of the week to the candles you blow out on your birthday cake, have pre-Christian antecedents; but no one really seems to complain about those. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that very few people are even remotely aware of them. Quite frankly, whether one wishes to acknowledge it or not, the “pagan-ness” has been effectively ‘bread out’ of these Christmas traditions for well over 1,000 years now. They have, for all intents and purposes, become completely Christianized. Like other pre-Christian customs and traditions that have become part of our culture, it’s time for some to get over it.💖💖

What an odd interpretation. I thought Jesus spent his time associating with people irrespective of their faith, gender, class, race or status. Indeed, he seemed to go out of his way to associate with people marginalized and condemned by the religious establishment of the time. The “impure,” - tax collectors, prostitutes, Romans, lepers, the poor. Quite the opposite of the majority of Christians today.

Great teaching!

I calculated the mark of the beast after figuring out the exact equation used to equal 666. "Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666". Revelation 13:18. Philadelphia is one of the 7 churches of Revelation and is the same name of this Nations original capital. From the center of Philadelphia to the center of Canton Ohio is exactly 333 miles as the crow flies. Canton is where Marilyn Manson was born and is also home of the football Hall of Fame. From the center of Canton Ohio to the center of Chicago is exactly 333 miles as the crow flies. This route from Philly to Canton to Chicago equals 666 the mark of the beast. Chicago is where Anton Lavey was born and its where he wrote the satanic Bible. Anton published it the same year Manson was born, 1969. Marilyn Manson and Anton Lavey became friends after first meeting at Anton's "Black House" in San Francisco in 1994. 2 years later Manson released his best selling album Antichrist superstar. Manson also has 666 tattooed across his rib cage.
