There is no doubt that Christmas is turning into a secular celebration and has lost to a large extent the true meaning of Christmas! It’s made me to not look at Christmas as a real celebration of Christ! It’s turn into a season of selfishness and not giving! People have been damaged by the Commercialization of Christmas!
Daniel Morgan The word Christmas does not appear in the Bible. No date for the Nativity is given in the scriptures; but a clue is revealed in the book of Luke, chapter 2, verse 8, that gives us an indication of when the Nativity did not happen! It reveals that men were keeping watch over their livestock in the fields. Till this day, if you were to visit the Holy Land in December, you will not see livestock being kept outside and in the field! During this time of year in the Holy Land-which is in the northern hemisphere-it is chilly and rainy, it is the rainy season! Animals are not kept outside at this time of year. That fact, in addition to the fact that there were men in the fields watching their flocks at the time of the Nativity indicates that the Nativity happened outside of the rainy season. Yeshua bar-Joseph, the Hebrew name for the Greek name Jesus Christ, never observed or celebrated His birth, nor the anniversary of it, nor did He direct His disciples to do either of those things; and the apostles likewise did not observe and celebrate the birth of the Messiah and did not teach or direct others to do so. In the twenty-third chapter of Leviticus the feasts and Sabbaths of the Lord which are to be observed by Israel throughout its generations are enumerated. There is no mention of Christmas or even of the Nativity. Neither is there anything stated about observing and celebrating the resurrection of Yeshua; and there is nothing said about celebrating Easter. The plain truth about Christmas is that it has no Biblical basis for an observance or celebration of it!
@ We have always celebrated birthdays! If we want to celebrate the birthday of our savior and chose a day to do so, it should be all about Christ-mas!! It certainly should not be about gifts! I celebrate my Lord and Savior! That’s all I do!
@Alahulapuuloakealahelenokaahu all well and good.....only in the Word we find Jesus going to the feast that was most likely Purim, which was not directed by God to observe. Yet, Christ did not condemn any for observing this holiday. It's not that we Christians say you must observe Christmas in honor of Christ; the problem arises from Christian's who condemn those who do observe Christmas with no Biblical reason.
First, this has been lamented for HUNDREDS of years. We can all individually celebrate as we see fit. It’s your personal responsibility to keep your celebrations as Christ centered during the season.
The Magi were using a particular star to locate Jesus. The winter solstice was likely a time where star data was greater and more accurate. At the solstice the particular star would be directly overhead.
@ he instituted the lords supper the night he was betrayed. 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (KJV) 23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.” This is done every first day of the week: Acts 20:7 (KJV) 7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.”
@@dB_944 There is no verse in the scriptures that directs anyone to remember, observe or celebrate the resurrection, there is only the one that directs His disciples to remember His death.
@@dB_944 Why do you say that it is done every first day of the week? The Lord directed that it be done on the evening of the Passover, and He set the example for when it was to be done by instituting it during the Passover supper. The first day of the week is not an anniversary of the Passover and is not the Sabbath day, which is the seventh day of the week. Historically both Israel and Judah were punished for Sabbath-breaking by the Lord by being invaded, conquered, and taken into exile, Israel first in 721BC by Assyria, and then later Judah, by Babylon in 595BC.
*ABSOLUTELY!* First, Jesus *never* celebrated a birthday in his life! The ancient Jews did *not* celebrate birthdays because of the worship of pagan gods associated with birthday celebrations. Early birthday celebrations included a sacrifice to the pagan (false) god that shared the same birthday as the human birthday celebrant. Thusly, on that basis alone *all* birthday celebrations are absolutely pagan. (Remember, the Almighty God never changes so true then is true now.) Second, the Bible proves that Jesus was *not* born on the "birthday of the invincible Sun". Jesus' ministry was for 1/2 a "week" of years or 3-1/2 years.-Daniel 9:27. According to the Bible Jesus began his ministry when he turned thirty, like the Kohathites. We know when Jesus died so disregarding the 3 full years count 6 months from his death and we have the time of his birth. He died on April 3, 33 AD(C.E.) Counting six months (forward or backward) we get late September or early October. Certainly *NOT* December! Simply read the Bible and count. That is all that is needed to *prove* Jesus could not have been born in December.
Okay, seriously? I expect better from Hillsdale college. Six months from December is NOT September, it is June. Three months later WOULD be September. September was when the Roman census took place, to which Mary and Joeseph were traveling. So, it is also likely the time when Jesus was born. I am sorry, not sorry, but I quit watching this in the middle. I don't have enough time to waste...
@@Unborn-Lives-Matter Hillsdale College is wonderful for its defense of liberty and the Declaration of Independence, the American Constitution, the Electoral College, capitalism and free enterprise, etc., and generally speaking does pursue truth; but it is not on solid ground when defending the observance and celebration of Christmas and Easter, observance of the Sabbath on Sunday or of mainstream “Christianity” that does not proclaim and teach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, meaning that purported mainstream Christianity does not proclaim the return of Jesus Christ as the head of the world ruling government of the Kingdom of God in the age to come in the world tomorrow.
@@SpotofTeaPlease Exactly. I celebrate Christmas as the day Christ was conceived, NOT the date of His birth. It is the date that God became a human in every aspect. Amazing!
It's sad that "Torah" is a bad word among many Christians and Christian teachers. Why do Christians teach that the 4th Commandment was changed? The Saviour observed the Biblical sabbath vs the Catholic sabbath. The Saviour observed His Feasts vs the man-made holy days. It says in Exodus 13 and Deuteronomy 6 that observing Passover, etc, is as a sign as frontlets between the eyes and on the hand: thinking & doing what the Father wants us to think and do! Could that be as opposed to the "mark of the Beast"? When I was a child someone told me the reason that Sabbath changed from Saturday (the 7th day) to Sunday (the 1st day) of the week; but if that person had been observing the Feasts of the Creator, he would have known that the Saviour arose on the first day of the week since First Fruits always lands on the first day of the week. I don't think it is evil to observe the "traditional day of Messiah's birth," but why not observe Feast of Dedication too? It is a traditional holiday celebrating the MIRACULOUS! deliverance of the FAITHFUL Jews from a one world secular humanist church state government under Antiochus Epiphanes. According to Maccabees (in the original KJV), there were "renegade" Jews too. Because of the miracle, there was the Hebraic culture into which our Messiah, who observed His Own Feasts & Sabbaths, was born! HalleluYah!
Christmas is a wallpapering over of Saturnalia with Christian thematic elements. It’s a great celebration for children because it teaches them to never trust any adults - even their parents who lie to them that Santa is real. That’s a hard epiphany when that hits.
@TheTradDadShow Christmas has no Biblical basis, and everyone who thinks that they are Christian and that they are worshipping the Lord of Lords and King of Kings while they celebrate Christmas is worshipping Him in vain because they are keeping the traditions of men while disobeying the commandments of the Eternal, Almighty, and Most High. The Messiah warned about this in the book of Matthew, in Matthew 15:9. A genuine, authentic Christian will have and be led by the Holy Spirit, Romans 8:9; and they who worship Him must worship in Spirit and truth, John 4:23-24. Those who are Christian have a good understanding of the Bible because they keep the Commandments of the Lord, Psalm 111:10. Anyone who thinks that there is anything Christian about Christmas is greatly mistaken!
@@Alahulapuuloakealahelenokaahualso Luke 16:15 that which is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God. I'd say Christmas is highly esteemed among men, also sports and music. They worship their Idols of music and sports. Taylor Swift and many others.
@@apostolicengineer8251 You are certainly correct about the winter celebration formerly called the Saturnalia and more recently known as Christmas; and much of popular music and modern athletic competition is not good when measured by Biblical standards.
