In this easy-to-watch documentary, all the evidence is laid out before you, including ancient Roman documents, Catholic bishops, and quotes from early Church writers.

If we love God, then we follow HIS WAYS.
I agree. Now I just need to learn what his ways are and when we're supposed to celebrate.
@@ReneeW59That is what I am pursuing. All of God's special days, what they mean, when to serve Him, and how to reverence Him.
Thank you for this valuable program!!
I am 75 yrs old. I stopped celebrating Christmas about 50 yrs ago. I read a magazine article called, " The plain truth about Christmas!" Since then I taught my whole family the truth and we all stopped worshipping Christmas.
I researched and found there are indeed Biblical Holy days to celebrate instead.
Erich from New Zealand.
I took read that article because as a young adult attended Worldwide Church of God and received The Plain Truth magazine. And all I was taught about the end days is coming to pass
Jehovah bless yuo
You use to worship Christmas?
Why were you worshipping Christmas
Amen!
I don't call myself a Christian, and I stopped celebrating Christmas.. I believe in God, I believe in Yeshua and trying to follow the word.. Without belonging to a reglion..
Christianity is not a religion, it is the belief in Christ. I don't do religion, and if someone asks what denomination you belong to, tell you belong to Jesus. Glad you don't celebrate it, I don't either, and never will again. I love my Father, and refuse to offend Him, or disobey Him.
May God Bless you on your walk with Christ Jesus. 🙏
Me too!
It's okay to celebrate Christmas as Long as you will celebrate it as Jesus Christ birth day. And Christmas with family is the most beautiful in the world. Remembering Christ is great
@Avrilrockzzz622 Better you couldn't said. You are so right in all the words you speak.
Thats.right I even dod not.knoe that I just.celebrate Jesus and a beautiful time.to forgive and love in the name of Jesus. Amen!!!
@Avrilrockzzz622 The Jews calendar starts in spring. Abib is the first month of the year, from the 14th is the passover which last 7 days. From chirist mouth he said Salvation is of the jews ye know not who ye worship. We are living undera different Calender. Additionally the Garden planted would never been created during January winter time. That's common sense.
I learned thus as a child. My father was very wise, finding this information without the internet so I’m so thankful that people are learning this now!
Judgement you lost very weak presentation
You were fortunate and blessed! I so regret spending all that money on unappreciated gifts and all the stress it brought! We stopped sending gifts to grandchildren last year. Now I can send this video to them to explain why😊
Historically St.Nicholas the 5th of Rome passed around American Negroes as gifts to slavers on other continents we are Hebrews and Rome killed out Chiefs and warriors and medicine men then Stole our identity and got politicians here in our own lands calling us crayons to disassociate us from our national identity then kill our elders with these new kkovid.so Santa is a old celebration of Rome stealing a Nations identity
❤dec 25 is not the exact date of Jesus Christ birth ,the reality is that Jesus was born

Knowledge is indeed power. My children perish because of lack of knowledge. If people took time to unlearn the lies and learn the truth it would help humanity greatly. 😊
The more I study about the history of Christianity, the more I am shocked and saddened by the deceit I have been raised on. Thank you for your videos, they are very enlightening. About 2 years ago I started following a Messianic Jewish Fellowship. They keep the Sabbath and all the teachings of the old and new testaments, they accept Jesus as the Messiah. I always wondered why as Catholics/Christians we were not not only taught all the Jewish customs/festivals, we were not taught to practice them. I left the Catholic church and all of it's evil teachings, they are the anti-Christ! Not going to lie, It has been and continues to be a struggle to let go of things that I was taught; but, I am doing it and will continue to understand Bible truth.
We are not Jews....we are not ancient Israelites .. traditions, customs, holy days belong to them... don't be fooled....we go to church on Sunday because Jesus was raised up on Sunday .. don't be fooled .. some messianic outfits teach false directions to Christians.
@@lydiapetra1211 So, by that logic and reasoning, we should not follow the 10 Commandments or any of the Old Testament? Afterall, the 10 Commandments were given to the “ancient” Israelites and the Old Testament as well, as it contains the Torah (the first five books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) and writings of other “ancient” prophets, etc.? I mean why does every Christian Bible include the old testament then? I respectively disagree with your opinion. You need to do more study on the Sabbath as well. Jesus was made flesh and came into this world as an “ancient” Israelite. Jesus obeyed all the laws, traditions and festivals in the Old Testament. He did not come to change any of that but to fulfill it. Do some research on why the Sabbath was changed to Sunday…… G-d or Jesus did not change it; it is tied into creation (read the entire 10 commandments from the Bible and not what may be in your church doctrine). It was changed by the emperor Constantine after he converted to Christianity because of his mother and eventually backed by the Catholic church; they justified intermingling the Roman paganistic customs with Christianity. They even admitted they did this and their reasoning, they believe themselves to have the same authority as G-d! Other Christian religions soon followed suit. Do some research and read your scriptures. Don’t fool yourself, just because Christianity is mixed with pagan customs doesn’t make it right. Did you not listen to this video? Remember when the apostles set out to spread the gospel to the gentiles and convert them; there was much discussion over what Jewish customs the converts could be expected to follow (the Apostles would be considered Messianic Jews). The law is written in our hearts. All I can say is study scripture and do not solely rely on any organized religion or preacher, priest, minister, or even rabi as to provide the truth. I am a Bible Christian and choose to read the scriptures and learn about them to better understand. The Messianic Jewish Fellowship does not force anything on me (again, they are like the apostles who followed Jesus). They worship and strictly teach Bible scriptures along with any Christian who wants to join them. You need to find your path to truth. Watch more of this guy’s videos, they are very informative. There are many more out there. I recommend the 4-part miniseries on Amazon Prime called the Days of Noah. I also recommend the following RUclips channels: AOC Network, DLM Ministries, RockIslandBooks, the Bible Project, Messiah 2030 part 1 & 2. All of these are very informative resources when it comes to Bible Scripture. May they open your eyes as well. Have a blessed day. (I will NOT be responding to any other replies on this as I was just voicing my opinion.)
God @ Jesus knows better what to do if He disagrees with us celebrating His Birthday on 25fh December!
@@tekheeWrong, men chose to do the celebration and it is up to men to stop it if it is fundamentally 'un-Christian'. Do not pass your wrong choices as men to God, that is very disingenuous.
Can you please point out anywhere in the over three quarters of a million words of the Bible where Christians are instructed or even advised to mark the birth day of Yeshua, just one reference please.
Easter is another pagan holiday.
I broke the curse of celebrating Christmas last year with my family. So I'm relieved to know my son and future generations will no longer take part in worshipping the devil.
Strong language, but accurate.
ruclips.net/video/CBJzI5s9o20/видео.html
Not a curse. It was a “tradition” taught to you.
Me too, last year!
@@sattaurnikki you broke the curse?? Lol it’s a TRADITION. Stop trying to spiritualize everything even traditions we have been taught and STOP doing. It’s called “obedience” to the Lord when you realize it’s not from Him and stop practicing a tradition or event.
Great explanation. People must be “willing” for their eyes to be opened.
We bring the información and the Holy Spirit brings the conviction 🙏
Shabbat shalom
We celebrate Christmas on Dec 25 because that is when God intended for us to celebrate it.
The Bible DOES tell us when Jesus was born in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 12:1 Then I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
2 She was pregnant, and she cried out because of her labor pains and the agony of giving birth.
This event, the constellation Virgo, in the sun, with the moon at her feet, occurred on Sept 11, 3 BC. That is when Jesus was born. For proof of this, do a Google search for the article 'Goodness of God Ministries when was Jesus Born.' Since the Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar, NASA moon phase data confirm that Sept 11, 3 BC was the first day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei. This is the feast of Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Feast of Trumpets. So, Jesus would have been born to trumpets!
But the question then is this: when did Mary conceive Jesus? A woman's gestational period is 40 weeks, from the beginning of her last cycle till birth. But a woman does not ovulate until day 14 of her cycle. Textbooks in embryology state that after ovulation it takes one week for the egg to travel from the ovary, through the fallopian tube, to become implanted in the womb. So, from implantation (conception) to birth is actually only 37 weeks. Now go to a calendar and check this out, Sept 11 minus 37 weeks comes exactly to Dec 25! (Don't use a leap year or you will be off by one day).
So, Mary would have conceived Jesus on Dec 25, 4 BC for Him to be born on Sept 11, 3 BC (or Tishrei 1, Rosh Hashanah, The Feast of Trumpets). In trying to figure out the day of Jesus' birth, the early church fathers got it wrong, but in getting it wrong, God made sure they actually got it right. Jesus did not come to earth when He was born, He came to earth in the very earliest stages of human life at the time of Mary's immaculate conception - on Dec 25! Emmanuel, God with us!
So, go ahead, celebrate and enjoy Christmas on December 25!
Oh, yeah, that stuff about Dec 25 being a pagan holiday - even if it's true, it's completely irrelevant. We celebrate Christmas on the day God intended for us to do so. God is sovereign!
Also, please don't stop celebrating Easter! The 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel pinpoints, to the DAY, Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday in the year 33 AD, to then be crucified on Friday April 3, 33 AD. This was in fact the day before the Passover as we read about in the scriptures. We can know this because the Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar and NASA moon phase data confirm Apr 4, 33 AD would have been the Passover, and perpetual calendars confirm that Apr 3, 33 AD was in fact a Friday.
Amen
That’s the key word right there “willing”. Be blessed!
Absolutely
I like how detailed & very informative this video is. Facts not emotions. More Christians & gentiles should hear this

Is vid is so full of lies0 what do you think you learned????
What lies may I ask ?
@@YAHsdaughter7I posted rebuttals on his comment section of the more glaring misinfo.
As a Christian, it really makes no difference to me when Jesus was born , what is important is that He was born among us that’s main point , so I can care less what day it was, thank you very much !
I agree. We celebrate it today for what it is. It is not when Jesus was born, but we celebrate His birth. He came to save us from our sins. That is what is important. Who cares what day it is??? It is what true Christians celebrate it for. The birth of our Messiah.
Exactly. God looks at the heart, the motive, the intent, he is not legalistic.
Even the person who seems legalistic, seemingly guilty of the sin of the Pharasees, may not be at all - if in that their intentions are to please him to the best of their ability, God is pleased.
Deuteronomy 12:29-31 (NKJV) 29 “When the LORD your God cuts off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you displace them and dwell in their land, 30 “take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.’ 31 “You shall not worship the LORD your God in that way; for every abomination to the LORD which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.
@JesusismyRock773 So you're saying forget what the Most High YAH told you not to do and disobey him. You just gonna do it because you feel like it
@Vivilaks it's HalleluYAH
My most favorite reply when confronted with the paganism of Christmas, they say you are right its just the day we choose to celebrate Jesus birthday. Clearly they aren't ready to receive the truth.
ruclips.net/video/CBJzI5s9o20/видео.html
I used to say "It doesn't matter how we worship, as long as we 'love' each other." Well in my recent studies, I have read where God has said "I do NOT want to be worshiped this way." and "If you love me, this is how you will worship me."
I am thankful for this channel helping to show me how the ways I used to worship were basically giving God the finger and saying at the same time "It doesn't matter how I worship, I was loving you!"
Thank you for this comment and for sharing our Documentary with as many people as you can.
Blessings.

Could you site the verses please. May the Lord bless you with grace and mercy in Jesus name.

@@InterwebUser-ps7juyou could start in Exodus when the people wanted to worship YHWH by using a golden calf. YHWH was furious, even though they thought they were honoring the God that just saved them. Reading Leviticus will help understand God's will and expected behavior for His people as well....
May YHWH bless you!
Thank you Jim for uplifting the truth in verity.
Yes, It's so ridiculous that God never asks us to remember the date of His incarnation but we make it up to go along with the tradition of another strange gods. God asks us to remember the sabbath day to keep it holy, because He has created us, and sanctify us.
God bless you, Jim !
Jesus became our Sabbath!
❤its not the date that matters but the reality is Jesus was born
25th is a statue. Repentance is required obviously.
Amen

I stumbled upon this similar topic many years ago (when I was doing research as an atheist/agnostic) and it changed the course of my faith in Christ.
Suggestion: please keep reminding yourself (rewatch yearly) because as time passes, our memories fade gradually. That's the reason I search these type of videos about man-made traditions that is meshed in Christianity. It will give you a compass to follow so that you constantly "worship the Father in spirit and truth" (John 4:24).

This is true there is no date in the Bible says Jesus is born on this day according to the Bible Jesus said you must remember my death and not my birthday because his death mens life to us if we believe in God

Thank you for exposing the false day of worship and the falsehood that was given to the world from ancient cultures and still prevailed today. I have always tried to expose some of these pagan days of worship.
Thank You so much For always sharing such helpful teachings we learn so much day by day what Abba Yahweh wants us to honour and what not. In Truth 🕎
First of all, the winter Solstice is not Dec 25. It is on Dec 21. Due to the earth's precession, it changes by 1 day every 3200 years. So the last time the winter solstice was on Dec 25 was about 12800 yrs ago. If you think that ancient people got it wrong and celebrated it on the wrong day, just talk to the people who built Stonehenge, they got it right.

Great investigation. Thank you! The Lord gave me a dream about 6 years ago about a inflatable witch in my living room that was encroaching upon my space and I was allowing it. I asked a friend that I considered godly about it and she said that I needed to urgently seek the Lord as to the meaning. Little did I know that as I finally submitted to read the Word of the Lord/Bible through, when I finally came to Jeremiah 10, that dream hit me like a ton of bricks in my face. I instantly knew the correlation. I had a tree and all the trimmings and another one to boot and my love and focus was on decorating them. I'd recently been born again by reading the Word (after growing up in the church and also being an MK) and knew that the holiday trees and figured Christ-MASS needed to go. I was so in love with my Lord and His Word that those things went immediately in the dumpsters. But the month seemed so empty, but then I remembered that the Jews celebrated Hanukkah. That began my journey on knowing the other Holy Days of the Lord and feasts, and eventually Sabbath. So appreciate all your videos.
We celebrate Christmas on Dec 25 because that is when God intended for us to celebrate it.
The Bible DOES tell us when Jesus was born in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 12:1 Then I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
2 She was pregnant, and she cried out because of her labor pains and the agony of giving birth.
This event, the constellation Virgo, in the sun, with the moon at her feet, occurred on Sept 11, 3 BC. That is when Jesus was born. For proof of this, do a Google search for the article 'Goodness of God Ministries when was Jesus Born.' Since the Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar, NASA moon phase data confirm that Sept 11, 3 BC was the first day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei. This is the feast of Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Feast of Trumpets. So, Jesus would have been born to trumpets!
But the question then is this: when did Mary conceive Jesus? A woman's gestational period is 40 weeks, from the beginning of her last cycle till birth. But a woman does not ovulate until day 14 of her cycle. Textbooks in embryology state that after ovulation it takes one week for the egg to travel from the ovary, through the fallopian tube, to become implanted in the womb. So, from implantation (conception) to birth is actually only 37 weeks. Now go to a calendar and check this out, Sept 11 minus 37 weeks comes exactly to Dec 25! (Don't use a leap year or you will be off by one day).
So, Mary would have conceived Jesus on Dec 25, 4 BC for Him to be born on Sept 11, 3 BC (or Tishrei 1, Rosh Hashanah, The Feast of Trumpets). In trying to figure out the day of Jesus' birth, the early church fathers got it wrong, but in getting it wrong, God made sure they actually got it right. Jesus did not come to earth when He was born, He came to earth in the very earliest stages of human life at the time of Mary's immaculate conception - on Dec 25! Emmanuel, God with us!
So, go ahead, celebrate and enjoy Christmas on December 25!
Oh, yeah, that stuff about Dec 25 being a pagan holiday - even if it's true, it's completely irrelevant. We celebrate Christmas on the day God intended for us to do so. God is sovereign!
Also, please don't stop celebrating Easter! The 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel pinpoints, to the DAY, Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday in the year 33 AD, to then be crucified on Friday April 3, 33 AD. This was in fact the day before the Passover as we read about in the scriptures. We can know this because the Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar and NASA moon phase data confirm Apr 4, 33 AD would have been the Passover, and perpetual calendars confirm that Apr 3, 33 AD was in fact a Friday.
Wow! Interesting! But I bet you that the ones that instated the December 25th holiday, the Catholic church, did not have these facts in view. And also, they admitted that they chose the date because of the pagans being so intrenched in their pagan celebrations. So, are you saying that their compromisings accidentally led them to the true day? Do we need to even celebrate His birth? Is there anything in the NT scriptures that state as such? Jesus commanded us to remember His death, not His birth. I cannot accept your "facts" because I don't have any sources from you for proof. Where did you get this information?@@timg1770

The winter solstice is Dec 21, not Dec 25. So it is unlikely that they hijacked the date from the pagans - it's not the same day.
Secondly, even if they did do that, you question whether their compromise could have accidentally led them to the true date.
The answer to that is easily, "yes."
Did God use what Joseph's brother's meant for evil and turn it for good? - Yes.
Did God turn the most evil action ever committed by people on earth (namely the crucifixion of His Son) and use it for good? - Yes.
Is God Sovereign in all things? - Yes.
I did mention already to do a google search for the article - Goodness of God Ministries When Was Jesus Born. Did you read it?
I clearly and accurately described a woman's pregnancy cycle and how a woman is only pregnant for 37 weeks from implantation of an egg in her womb (conception) to birth. (Langman's Textbook of Embryology).
But, it sounds like you have your own agenda for not wanting to believe in Dec 25 as the date of Mary's conception. I can only guess at a couple of possible reasons why. Regardless of that, I hope you have a great and very Merry Christmas.
You ask if we even need to celebrate His birth. You're right, there is no command in the Bible to do so, but why would you not want to? God sent angels to announce His birth to shepherds, and wise men to bring gifts. Apparently God thought it was big deal and so did the angels and shepherds and wise men. I think wise people would still want to celebrate His birth.
Blessings to you and yours!

Thanks for bringing up the truth about the Sabbath also . God blessed The Sabbath and set it apart and made it Holy . This was never done for Christmas . Its a shame that in many SDA churches Hold Christmas programs on the Holy Sabbath . I pray that they will wake up to this truth .
I haven't celebrated Christmas in many years. I had many questions to Christianity which I didn't have answers for. I was baptized as a baby in the Catholic church. As I grew up, I started asking the church elders questions. In the process, I realized that a lot of the teachings of the church didn't make sense to me. As soon as I became independent and not living with parents, I stopped going to church.
You make sense, sir... Thank you for opening one's mind👍🏾👌🏿🤗👌🏿👍🏾
I believe in God who great the earth and the sun and the moon and stars and l believe in God who was dieing on the cross for my sins and stand up after 3 days
Don't turn from God because of some miss steps of men. Seek God with all your heart mind and soul and you will find. Knock and He will answer. We have all done wrong and Jesus Yeshua Adoni is real. Look at the world today and unfulfilled prophecies Isaiah 17 revelation 9 14. Ezekiel 38 39. They are happening look for yourself. Persia is Iran rusk is Russia the world is turning on the Jewish people. It's all happening just as the bible a book from 1900 years ago said love you man hope you really look God bless you
Right, the Catholic Church doesn't have answers, because it is a false religion. Their teachings don't make sense because so many of them are unscriptural, and fly directly in the face of God's truth.
This is in fact the difference between religiosity, and personal relationship with God. Hopefully you have gotten into the Bible for yourself, and let God speak directly to you through it. Pray. There are in fact still good churches in sound doctrine out there if you just care to look, let the Holy Spirit guide you, if you have been baptized in him. The answers are there to find friend, seek and you will find! Excellent apologetics videos here on RUclips that will likely answer questions for you. All the best!
Thank you for putting this information out there. People need to know the WHOLE TRUTH ! 👍

God bless you Jim. God has gifted you with an excellent mind for evidence / truth finding. Praise Jesus!
The majority of Christians all over the world have abandoned the seventh day Sabbath for Sunday, the day introduced by the Roman Catholic Church. Even Christians who reject Christmas on December 25th, desecrate Saturday and go to church on Sunday.
🎯 Boom
True. And the evil emperor who abolished the Sabbath and instituted pagan Sunday was Constantine the Great!
Can't wait to see this! Truth or Tradition was as big of a deal as Identity Crisis was in helping me understand the Truth of living according to the whole Word of God.

I hate how much we’ve distanced ourselves from God to the point where many of us who grew up believing these things have to realize the truth of it all later on in life. Our parents aren’t even aware themselves!
I'm 54 years old and have always questioned this and believe me I have offended many but never got a true or straightforward answer. I want to stop going to church because how many other teachings have been taught that's false?
I can sympathize with the way you feel and I am about your same age. I learned this information b/c of Jer 10:2-4, Krampus as a character in a show I was watching, and Revelation 11:10 due to a Revelation Bible study. I would encourage you to remain obedient to God’s Word see Heb10:25. I pray our obedience to Christ will draw other people to Him as we walk in obedience. There is also a verse in Revelation about Christ followers didn’t soil their clothes.
CHRISTMAS is celebrating CHRIST: The exact day or date matters little - but Christ. MERRY CHRISTMAS. REJOICE, JESUS is LORD. AMEN.🎉
If Christians are willing to celebrate a lie and fill Christ's sham
birthday with Papist and pagan mythology (e.g., Santa Claus, the Christmas
tree, mistletoe, the Yule log, evergreens, etc.), then why should
the world believe the church when it really speaks the truth? If you
lie about the birth of Christ and gladly indulge in pagan mythology,
then when you tell your neighbor about the resurrection of Christ,
why should he believe you? By celebrating Christmas you are putting
a stumbling block in front of your unbelieving neighbor. Your neighbor
could reason that since you speak and live a lie regarding the birth
of Christ, you cannot be trusted when you speak about the resurrection
of Christ. I've actually had intellectuals say to me, after I spoke
to them of Christ's death and resurrection, that they are myths foisted
on simple people by the church just like Santa Claus and the Easter
bunny (of course, the Christmas lie has gone on for so long that most
people accept it as fact). The church must stop denigrating God's
inspired, infallible Word by setting up human fantasies alongside
divine revelation. Christmas is a contradiction of the biblical account
of Christ's birth.
God declared to His people through the pen of the prophet: "Do not learn the way of the Gentiles." He went on to state that "the customs of the peoples are futile," that is, they are utterly empty and useless. God wants His people to follow His instructions, not to look at pagan practices and seek to copy them. What kind of empty, pagan customs was Jeremiah talking about in Jeremiah 10? The specific example in that chapter involved going out into the woods, cutting a tree and bringing it home to set it upright and decorate it (vv. 3-4). Does this sound amazingly like putting up a Christmas tree? It should.
Jesus declared: "And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men" (Mark 7:7). Those who wish to use Christmas to worship Christ are faced with a dilemma: do they follow the pattern of worship prescribed in Scripture, or do they cling to cherished customs, regardless of when and how those customs originated? Jesus censured many of the religious leaders of His day because they rejected the commandments of God in order to keep their own traditions (v. 9).
Would Jesus say those same words to you, based upon your actions and your choices?
When the ancient Israelites were ready to enter the Promised Land, they were warned against adopting religious customs from the surrounding nations (Deuteronomy 12:30-31). God told them instead to observe all the things that He instructed them, neither adding nor taking away from what He had taught (v. 32).
So, instead of seeking to put Christ back into Christmas, we must acknowledge that He was never there in the first place! Christmas never was Christian! True Christians will give it back to the pagans, to whom it has belonged all along! Instead of borrowing from the world around us, we ought to take our religious customs and practices directly from the Bible. Then we will be worshiping our Creator in spirit and truth, just as He teaches us to do (John 4:24).
The birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem is an historical fact and a Biblical truth, and fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. Even the angels sang with joy. Shepherds and Wisemen from the east came to pay homage to the Christ Child ( see Matthew 1; Luke 1 and 2). We will REJOICE and CELEBRATE this Christ event - CHRISTMAS. AMEN.
@@spursc10 Yes. CHRISTMAS is all about CHRIST. CHRISTMAS trees are mere decorations- we don't worship them. The Lord Jesus Chirst attended many Jewish festivals during His earthly life - Tabernacles, Passover, Firstfriuts, Dedication etc. Show from Scripture if ever condemned them.
@@paulvarathan6349 Did you watch the video? Before 1,000 B.C. we have the following gods or demigods born on December 25: Horus, Osiris, and Attis. Before 200 B.C. we have Mithra, Heracles, Dionysus, Tammuz, Adonis, and others. Some of these characters were also born to virgins. Roman Church simply
took Saturnalia, adopted it into Christianity, and then eventually many of the
associated pagan symbols, forms, customs, and traditions were reinterpreted (or
"Christianized") in ways "acceptable" to lukewarm Christian faith and practice. (In
fact, in 375 A.D., the Church of Rome under Pope Julius I merely announced that
the birth date of Christ had been "discovered" to be December 25th, and was
accepted as such by the "faithful." The festival of Saturnalia and the birthday of
Mithras could now be celebrated as the birthday of Christ!) The pagans flocked
into the Catholic places of worship, because they were still able to worship their
old gods, but merely under different names. It mattered not to them whether
they worshiped the Egyptian goddess mother and her child under the old names
(Isis and Horus), or under the names of the "Virgin Mary" and the "Christ-child."
Either way, it was the same old idol-religion (cf. 1 Thes. 1:8-10; 5:22 -- Paul says
to turn from idols, not rename them and Christianize them). Roman Catholicism's
Christmas Day is nothing but "baptized" paganism, having come along much too
late to be part of "the faith once delivered unto the saints" (Jude 3). … "'A compound religion had been manufactured, of
which ... Christianity furnished the vocabulary and Paganism the doctrines and
rights.' The idolatry of the Roman world, though deposed from its ancient preeminence,
had by no means been demolished. Instead of this, its pagan
nakedness had been covered with the garb of a deformed Christianity" (W.E.
Vine). Pagan customs involving vestments, candles, incense, images, and
processions were all incorporated into church worship and continue today.
The blasphemous "Christ's Mass" shortened to "Christ-mas" -- The Roman
Catholic "Christ's Mass" is a special mass performed in celebration of Christ's
birth. In this mass, Jesus is considered both the priest and the victim,
represented by the Catholic priest who offers Him as a sacrifice each time the
mass is performed. In offering this "sacrifice," the priest believes he has the
power to change the bread and the wine of the Communion into Jesus' literal
flesh and blood, requiring the people to worship these elements as they do God
Himself.

I believe that God, in His sovereignty would have put Jesus’s birthday somewhere in the scriptures if He wanted us to know it. Also, the scriptures say to worship God in spirit and in truth. We don’t know if this is true that Jesus’ birthday was December 25th therefore how can we call it true? Why is it being told as truth if God’s word does not say it is true? How is celebrating the most materialistic, fleshly celebration in the spirit? It’s all about the world and fleshly desires/self.
You are wise.
God DID put the date of Jesus birthday in the scriptures!
First of all, the winter Solstice is not Dec 25. It is on Dec 21. Due to the earth's precession, it changes by 1 day every 3200 years. So the last time the winter solstice was on Dec 25 was about 12800 yrs ago. If you think that ancient people got it wrong and celebrated it on the wrong day, just talk to the people who built Stonehenge, they got it right.
We celebrate Christmas on Dec 25 because that is when God intended for us to celebrate it.
The Bible DOES tell us when Jesus was born in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 12:1 Then I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.

This event, the constellation Virgo, in the sun, with the moon at her feet, occurred on Sept 11, 3 BC. That is when Jesus was born. For proof of this, do a Google search for the article 'Goodness of God Ministries when was Jesus Born.' Since the Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar, NASA moon phase data confirm that Sept 11, 3 BC was the first day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei. This is the feast of Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Feast of Trumpets. So, Jesus would have been born to trumpets!
But the question then is this: when did Mary conceive Jesus? A woman's gestational period is 40 weeks, from the beginning of her last cycle till birth. But a woman does not ovulate until day 14 of her cycle. Textbooks in embryology state that after ovulation it takes one week for the egg to travel from the ovary, through the fallopian tube, to become implanted in the womb. So, from implantation (conception) to birth is actually only 37 weeks. Now go to a calendar and check this out, Sept 11 minus 37 weeks comes exactly to Dec 25! (Don't use a leap year or you will be off by one day).
So, Mary would have conceived Jesus on Dec 25, 4 BC for Him to be born on Sept 11, 3 BC (or Tishrei 1, Rosh Hashanah, The Feast of Trumpets). In trying to figure out the day of Jesus' birth, the early church fathers got it wrong, but in getting it wrong, God made sure they actually got it right. Jesus did not come to earth when He was born, He came to earth in the very earliest stages of human life at the time of Mary's immaculate conception - on Dec 25! Emmanuel, God with us!
So, go ahead, celebrate and enjoy Christmas on December 25!

We can know this because the Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar and NASA moon phase data confirm Apr 4, 33 AD would have been the Passover, and perpetual calendars confirm that Apr 3, 33 AD was in fact a Friday.

If that’s the time you choose then that’s sad. Nothing about Christmas (shopping, buying, spending, commercialism, the most suicides, the lonliest people) are about our YAHUAH. We have forgotten who Yahusha came to save. Do you think the homeless feel blessed at Christmas? We are told over and over to not follow the world. No excuses will get us past this.
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?“
James 4:4-5 NKJV
How many survived the flood? The exodus? What makes us special?
For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;“
II Peter 2:4-6
Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Praise Yah.
Thank you for being a man of God that's trying to help us come to the truth of the matter
thank you for the truth and speaking out for it ❤
I used to think Deut 12:30 was the best scripture to refute Christmas worship. While it is appropriate, too many professing Christians say that they aren't inquiring of "other nations or other gods". I believe it may be more poignant to use Exodus 33, where Moses is delayed coming down from Mt Sinai, and the people turn to Aaron, who tells the people to give him all their gold which they plundered from the Egyptians to melt into a golden calf. This calf indeed represented Israel's God, not a foreign God. This should make a Christian pause and reconsider taking a holiday created by men, to worship the one true Holy God. On that day there each one took the sword and plunged it into his neighbor, and 3000 fell dead. They were confused and fell. Today, Christians are confused about Christmas' origins. We need to wake up and keep God's appointed calendar days!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
Another powerful Scripture is Galatians 4:8-12, for those who wanna say “ahhh that’s ‘The Old Testament.’”
I was raised in the Catholic church and then I came to know the Lord. I can see how all the lies and false doctrines have crept into our churches. One is Christ Mass, which is to give honor to a Catholic idol, Baby Jesus. This is not biblical but the Church has been deceived into bringing idols and paganism into our church building to make people happy. Let's make the Lord happy and stop being friends with the world.
I have telling people for anout 30 years but people refuse to let go of this holiday. Ive told them that True Christian
Some people don't want to know the truth 😢😢
Well done Jim Staley. This is a hard job to put all this together! Wow and all so true!! Great composition.
I like the analogy of the old girl friends birthday
😂👍 Perfect!
People have a materialistic need to entertain themselves with eye candy and pleasure of the senses, smell, touch, glitz, and rewards. Attaching these things to Jesus Christ is like justifying everything about Christmas and instead of feeling guilty for over indulgence, we can feel like we're doing something out of righteousness 😂 Try taking THAT away and there's going to be a fight.
Indeed history matters. We can't just be following cultures without knowing to what, where and how they existed.
Very good teaching I hope those who have an hear to hear will hear
Praise God!!! Life starts at conception!
You are SO CORRECT!! Here's proof:
We celebrate Christmas on Dec 25 because that is when God intended for us to celebrate it.
The Bible DOES tell us when Jesus was born in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 12:1 Then I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
2 She was pregnant, and she cried out because of her labor pains and the agony of giving birth.
This event, the constellation Virgo, in the sun, with the moon at her feet, occurred on Sept 11, 3 BC. That is when Jesus was born. For proof of this, do a Google search for the article 'Goodness of God Ministries when was Jesus Born.' Since the Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar, NASA moon phase data confirm that Sept 11, 3 BC was the first day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei. This is the feast of Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Feast of Trumpets. So, Jesus would have been born to trumpets!
But the question then is this: when did Mary conceive Jesus? A woman's gestational period is 40 weeks, from the beginning of her last cycle till birth. But a woman does not ovulate until day 14 of her cycle. Textbooks in embryology state that after ovulation it takes one week for the egg to travel from the ovary, through the fallopian tube, to become implanted in the womb. So, from implantation (conception) to birth is actually only 37 weeks. Now go to a calendar and check this out, Sept 11 minus 37 weeks comes exactly to Dec 25! (Don't use a leap year or you will be off by one day).
So, Mary would have conceived Jesus on Dec 25, 4 BC for Him to be born on Sept 11, 3 BC (or Tishrei 1, Rosh Hashanah, The Feast of Trumpets). In trying to figure out the day of Jesus' birth, the early church fathers got it wrong, but in getting it wrong, God made sure they actually got it right. Jesus did not come to earth when He was born, He came to earth in the very earliest stages of human life at the time of Mary's immaculate conception - on Dec 25! Emmanuel, God with us!
So, go ahead, celebrate and enjoy Christmas on December 25!
Oh, yeah, that stuff about Dec 25 being a pagan holiday - even if it's true, it's completely irrelevant. We celebrate Christmas on the day God intended for us to do so. God is sovereign!
Thank you. Some of this I knew. Much detail I didn’t. I feel increasingly I am walking alone with Yeshua and a few. So much deception. I am saddened I have not been more outspoken the last twenty years.
Can't be more clear. So many evidences! Incredible. Thank you for all this work. Excellent.
Thank you - don't forget to share!
"evidences" lol.
this video has been torn apart by christians who actually understand history, look up "Jim Staley Exposed"
First of all, the winter Solstice is not Dec 25. It is on Dec 21. Due to the earth's precession, it changes by 1 day every 3200 years. So the last time the winter solstice was on Dec 25 was about 12800 yrs ago. If you think that ancient people got it wrong and celebrated it on the wrong day, just talk to the people who built Stonehenge, they got it right.

Also, please don't stop celebrating Easter! The 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel pinpoints, to the DAY, Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday in the year 33 AD, to then be crucified on Friday April 3, 33 AD. This was in fact the day before the Passover as we read about in the scriptures. We can know this because the Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar and NASA moon phase data confirm Apr 4, 33 AD would have been the Passover, and perpetual calendars confirm that Apr 3, 33 AD was in fact a Friday.
My family and I don't Celebrate Christmas anymore.
Thank you for putting out the truth it's been 3 years that we don't celebrate we celebrate God's ways and his lows 🙏🙏
ruclips.net/video/CBJzI5s9o20/видео.html
Pastor Staley, since you don't seem to want to interact with the evidence, I'll finish with the following which is a classic case of "inference to the best explanation""
1. The first explicit evidence for a 12/25 Roman sun god holiday comes from the 354 AD calendar.
2. We have pre-354 calendars and they do not include a 12/25 celebration
3. We have evidence for long-standing August and October sun god celebrations mentioned in pre-354 calendars & in other sources
4. When Roman authors discuss December and January celebrations, they don't mention any 12/25 holidays/celebrations
Therefore: it's unlikely that there were 12/25 celebrations before c. 300 AD
Thank you brother for all the effort you put into researching
Tell it on the mountains...go ye forth and preach the gospel
❤ thank you for revealing the truth now what do we do with it 😭🙏😊 amen 🙏
Thank you SO much for such a concise video. I havent celebrated christmas for years (nor halloween for even longer) it always felt ‘stupid’
En mass it’s like we just picked a day to spend a lot of money and sit fat on the couch for a while and we say this is Christ’s birth date? What?
No. We do it because it makes US feel good and we justify it with a thin veil.
I didnt need any more conviction for not participating but I very much enjoyed this video. Thank you for taking the time to make it!
It's true that Christmas makes us feel good. But do you know what else makes me feel good? When I sing songs of praise to him, speak words of worship to him, choose to imitate Christ in my daily conduct, forsaking myself.
So when I consider my loved ones and acquaintances, what they might like, then go to the trouble to acquire it, pay a price to do so, give it to them in a specially presented way, that is what we call celebrating Christmas, friend ("That what you do to the least of my brethren, you also do for me."). That feels good, I'm guilty.
if this stuff bothers you, I have no problem with you not celebrating the day, but please don't try to rebuke those who do as if we're doing something wrong.
Romans 14:5-6. "one person esteems one day above another, another esteems everyday alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord, and he who does not observe the day to the lord, he does not observe it."
As you can see, if it is done with a right heart and good intentions, God has no problem with the celebration of his birthday.... As is the case with everything else. It's all about the heart with the Lord.
I grew up with Jehovahs witnesses. They were always taught this and have never celebrated christmas and they have tried to explain this to everyone in their teachings. When i tried to explain to teachers or classmates they wpuld be cruel and say its unChristian not to celebrate it. Im no longer with them but i appreciate that they always researched and used the bible and history to remove pagan traditons from worship. It is nice to see the information and message finally go mainstream.
I was also JW, but bin for 2 years new born Christian. Please Sister continue to read the world of God to now more, who ist ourr Lord Jesus Christ. Col 1:13.
5. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 7. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 8. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. (Rom 14: 5-8)
It makes me sick to think that we've been lied to and fooled for such a long time. I was raised Catholic, I've not practiced for 23 years. Around Easter, there was a small milk carton type container placed on the windowsill of every classroom, of my Catholic school. We were encouraged to place money in it. Any time I lost a tooth, in that time period, the money, normally a dime, or two quarters, ( if I spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa's house), was placed in the box, and it made me feel so good that I was contributing to....wait for it.....PAGAN BABIES! We were told that Pagan Babies were babies who were not going to grow up to know about God if we didn't help with our money. This video is so excellent, even though I've heard of so much of this information, it's really well done and has added to my knowledge of what has actually happened. Thank you, Jim Staley
It's so great that you've come out of that! :)
The Catholic Church is extremely satanic and disgustingly traumatizing to all who have been through it, whether they have come to that realization or not
Wow, that is sick, the pagan baby thing. It’s so sad what our world has become. 😢
Yes,it is good and right to celebrate the day/month which God has chosen . what ever God has blessed is blessed.thanks❤
This is a real stronghold. The enemy has used it to lull people into a dream, the familiar "spirit of Xmas". I know. I was one of them until the Lord gave me a dream about an inflatable witch in my living room, which I puzzled about and asked the Lord for an interpretation. and then when I happened upon reading Jeremiah 10, that dream came back to me, hitting me in the face many months later. The tree is an idol. The practices of Christ-MASS is idolatry. We think that we don't have idols in our lives, but they are just hard to see. We have learned to sanctify/sanitize anything we want to do and keep just like the Roman Catholics. No offense, but this is true. I love Catholics, but they and we have been mesmerized by the enemy's lies. We need to wake up. The Lord is waking different ones up. Don't ignore the Holy Spirit's promptings, because He might pass you by and you will be trapped in sin, not inheriting eternal life. It frightens me to think how many of us are not keeping His commands. What will judgment day look like for us. "Lord, Lord, did we not do miracles, etc. in your Name ... depart from me you workers of "lawlessness"."
I stopped celebrating xmas one year ago since I started reading the bible and learning the truth about God and Jesus.
I joined the SDA church as they are the only one that follow Sabbath. I am disappointed though that my church and its members are celebrating xmas. What are your thoughts?
Thank you for creating this video, amazing information 🙏🏻🙏🏻
The historical observation of sabbath rest followed the sighting of the new moon and subsequent 7th days through it's cycle.
Those who set aside Saturday as the seventh day actually worship according to the pagan Gregorian calendar. I know 0f no present day organized religion that recognizes the Julian calendar. That written, Paul and Nicodemus demonstrated that worship can happen anytime.
@@Incognito69253
Of course worship can happen at any time. That doesn't take away from Sabbath being a separate Holy day that the Lord has commanded us to keep.
@@taniaortiz6555 Exactly. No argument there.
Wonderful. Only, you need to do an independent research on Helen G. White, her husband & their false claims (which Adventists) still hold on to to this day and never renounce their false claims of prophecy of the coming of Messiah which is a Big red-flag & insult even heresy... "May God guide n bless you in your search for truth" is my prayer friend 🙏🏾
It’s because all the churches haven’t figured out Paul is the “apostle who calls himself an apostle and is not”
Paul who is a Herodian Roman citizen convinces Christians to abolish the laws, he introduces his own gospel (literally calls if “my gospel”), you can celebrate pagan events, eat sacrificed pagan foods, do whatever you want as all you need is faith according to Paul
You definitely have a “passion for truth” love this🙏
Yehovah Almighty God bless you guys and thanks for sharing such a great information. Greetings from Ecuador
I have used your original Truth or Tradition every year and sometimes numerous times in my ministry. Hope this one is as good or better! Don't know how you could outdo your original, but I am watching!!!
He is not outdoing "Truth or tradition", just consentrating more of the actual date.
Thank you dear Sister. This video is not a replacement for Truth or Tradition, this is just a documentary answering the question: Why was December 25th chosen as the birth of Yeshua.
We will soon be releasing a new version of Truth or Tradition, a lot shorter and updated to our times.
Thank you for your dedication and love throughout the years.
Gerdfran, PFT
@@PassionForTruthVideo thank you and the other person who cleared this up. I definitely shared it with the ministers on my team, in my organization. I love Jim Staley's videos and have done quite a bit of teaching after learning from him. Between my new Zoom weekly teachings, my new Rumble channel and over 3,500 on my Facebook page, I reach people all over the world with the largest majority in Africa. I hope you let Jim know how important he is to me and my ministry in getting the truth out there!
He just did he nailed it
@methodius--9405 I’m curious as to what prompted the selection of December 25th, pagan connections or not what was the method used to arrive at this date, I am genuinely asking not judging
That's some fantastic teaching brother!!
Jehovah's witnesses could have told you this hundred years ago
Thank you brother, for enlightening us to the truth!
Thank you my brother in christ good teaching state and union can not mix
Thanks Jim. Really enjoyed this presentation. I am still convinced Christmas is the Devil's way of preparing the world to receive the anti-Christ. They will be looking for Christ at the wrong time of the year. As we all know the harlot has many daughters, sadly even the protestant churches fall into that category. Come out of her My people!
Thank you for weighing in - we value each and everyone's response,
In the first chapter of 'On the Revolution of the Celestial Spheres' (1543), Copernicus writes: "in the middle of all sits the Sun enthroned. In this most beautiful temple could we place this luminary in any better position from which he can illuminate the whole at once? He is rightly called the Lamp, the Mind, the Ruler of the Universe; Hermes Trismegistus names him the Visible God, Sophocles' Electra calls him the All-seeing. So the Sun sits as upon a royal throne ruling his children the planets which circle around him."
"Finally we shall place the Sun himself at the center of the Universe." Nicolaus Copernicus
Newton translated Hermes Trismegistus 'The Emerald Tablet'
Johannes Kepler-"The sun alone appears, by virtue of his dignity and power, suited for this most motive duty (of moving the planets) and worthy to become the home of God himself."
"Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton work cumulatively destroyed ancient view of a finite, womb-like cosmos with Earth & Human Race at its center."
The latter rain has begun. Brother, Jim you are one testimony of it. Praise Yehova for his reward Yeshua is at hand!
I WISHED I had been told this sooner. I never would have celebrate this disgusting day!
I just found your channel 1 day ago and I've watched a few videos already, I can feel the Holy Spirit speaking. I will be studying more about God's true holidays. Thank you for serving our God and sharing your knowledge.
SHABBAT SHALOM BELOVED BROTHER ❤️, THIS VIDEO IS ABSOLUTELY SPOT-ON,,, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO OPEN PEOPLE'S EYES TO MAN-MADE TRADITIONS AND PAGAN WAYS,,,,,
MAY YAHUAH BLESS YOU and your Family 💖
Thank you Debbie! Please share and like so as to get the truth out to the world!
Shalom.
PS Shabbat is not in the bible. Only sabbaths. Nor can I see it in the old testament / torah books either.
Anyway so I don't observe shabbats. Not a religious jewish root person.
Just making it clear it's the LORD of the Sabbath significance that I follow, and I consider myself part of 'the church' outside of old Roman/egypt or babylon traditions.

Can you send me a link to a calendar prior to 354 please? Send to info@passionfortruth.com. It is powerful evidence that dec 25 was in fact in use for sun worship by the mere fact the Egyptians believed their sun god was born on that day.

It's okay to celebrate Christmas as long as it was a day dedicated or in memory to the birth of Jesus Christ. With your family and it's okay I love remembering Jesus Christ amen. Merry Christmas everyone
Well, now you’re justifying celebrating the day if the focus is on him. That’s doing what is right in your own eyes.
Guess what? They were worshiping and feasting to Yah at the golden calf. They said it was a celebration to Him. He saw it differently, didn’t He? He considered that a breaking of the covenant He’d just made with them and He destroyed many that day. Christmas is the same thing. We don’t get to tell Him how we’re going to worship Him, He tells us! Read Deuteronomy chapter 12 and Jeremiah 10:1-5.
@@MK4Hisglory this is about you as individual if you celebrate Christmas as Jesus Christ birthday from your heart and your family that's matters. Besides Christmas effects to families is amazing
@@MK4Hisglory I View Christmas in positive views not in how it was created. And many blah blah And besides I think it's God's will that the birthday of Jesus Christ will be on December 25.
Family celebrating Christmas is happy and that's it Jesus Christ wants everyone to be happy under the name of Jesus Christ that's what I believe ❤️
@@Avrilrockzzz622 No, it’s about obedience to God. You cannot justify something that is an abomination to Him and something He never commanded us to celebrate. Jeremiah 17:9 tells us that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked so you cannot use the Christian cliche “He knows my heart” or “If it’s from my heart”. Yahushua said, if you love Me, keep my commandments.
I think this. It’s very hard to resist keeping this festival when all the world does so. But I truly do not want to do what they do
When all the world does it...
If the world is doing it, then it isn't about GOD or Jesus...
This is proof it is of the world and not of GOD...
For the world loves its own...
But are we supposed to be of this world?
No...
Then if it truly was of GOD and Jesus, the world would hate it...
Well said🙏🏻

Taking down my decorations. Never feels like a blessed time. We do it because we want people to not be disappointed I think.

Since the Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar, NASA moon phase data confirm that Sept 11, 3 BC was the first day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei. This is the feast of Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Feast of Trumpets. So, Jesus would have been born to trumpets!
But the question then is this: when did Mary conceive Jesus? A woman's gestational period is 40 weeks, from the beginning of her last cycle till birth. But a woman does not ovulate until day 14 of her cycle. Textbooks in embryology state that after ovulation it takes one week for the egg to travel from the ovary, through the fallopian tube, to become implanted in the womb. So, from implantation (conception) to birth is actually only 37 weeks. Now go to a calendar and check this out, Sept 11 minus 37 weeks comes exactly to Dec 25! (Don't use a leap year or you will be off by one day).
So, Mary would have conceived Jesus on Dec 25, 4 BC for Him to be born on Sept 11, 3 BC (or Tishrei 1, Rosh Hashanah, The Feast of Trumpets). In trying to figure out the day of Jesus' birth, the early church fathers got it wrong, but in getting it wrong, God made sure they actually got it right. Jesus did not come to earth when He was born, He came to earth in the very earliest stages of human life at the time of Mary's immaculate conception - on Dec 25! Emmanuel, God with us!
So, go ahead, celebrate and enjoy Christmas on December 25!
Oh, yeah, that stuff about Dec 25 being a pagan holiday - even if it's true, it's completely irrelevant. We celebrate Christmas on the day God intended for us to do so. God is sovereign!
Also, please don't stop celebrating Easter! The 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel pinpoints, to the DAY, Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday in the year 33 AD, to then be crucified on Friday April 3, 33 AD. This was in fact the day before the Passover as we read about in the scriptures. We can know this because the Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar and NASA moon phase data confirm Apr 4, 33 AD would have been the Passover, and perpetual calendars confirm that Apr 3, 33 AD was in fact a Friday.
If you get distracted by decoration you should never decorate for your weddings or birthday parties as well😮
@@abbaasgertrude4915 they are only up for one day. Christmas decorations are up for a month or more. Thank you for your reply.
I haven't been able to get into these so called holidays that the church follows for many decades now but with all the info available for us today people have to be willingly ignorant to not know these things are wrong. I have been told so many times it doesen't matter what the pagans did if we dedicate it to Christ he will honor it. I'm afraid for family and friends that just refuse to look into anything on their own. Thank you for building up even more evidence for us that have been awakened to his word
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! It means a lot.
Gerdfran, PFT
Thank you I felt something was wrong in Christmas 2012 when I asked myself this question if Christmas is about Jesus Christ then why bring all these other characters into it and why are there only a few Christmas songs about Jesus Christ and why tell the kids about Santa Claus and the North Pole that’s fictional when they could have been told about a real person called Jesus Christ and a real place called Heaven and what Heaven is like why bring fictional characters and a fictional place into it you can’t serve 2 masters I’m saying that Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus Christ because it’s pagan and these horror Christmas movies show the real side of Christmas
First of all, the winter Solstice is not Dec 25. It is on Dec 21. Due to the earth's precession, it changes by 1 day every 3200 years. So the last time the winter solstice was on Dec 25 was about 12800 yrs ago. If you think that ancient people got it wrong and celebrated it on the wrong day, just talk to the people who built Stonehenge, they got it right.
We celebrate Christmas on Dec 25 because that is when God intended for us to celebrate it.
The Bible DOES tell us when Jesus was born in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 12:1 Then I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
2 She was pregnant, and she cried out because of her labor pains and the agony of giving birth.

I appreciate Jim's work on this and honor him for his vision to return to God's ancient paths. Here's another opinion: Jonathan Cahn on the Jim Bakker Show Nov.12th, 2012. Cahn uses detective work to figure out that Jesus was born on the first day of the Jewish New Year, known as Nissan 1, in 6 B.C.
In April? That’s new, I’ve always heard of him being born in the fall, during their fall time holidays, I’m sorry but I don’t know the names. I’ve always heard he died in April. What is fascinating is, the total solar eclipse this year falls on Nisan, the Jewish new year.
Constantine Amalgamated Xmas into Christianity cuz he was afraid that the Pagan hordes would overthrow his Empire
Pastor Staley says some scholars might disagree with him. But I don't know any contemporary scholars who accept the Christmas/Sun God theory. At most some would says there could be a connection. I agree the theory is possible given the lack of sources, but it certainly isn't beyond a reasonable doubt. I don't think it even meets the civil more likely than not (51%) standard.
Thank you for your thoughts on this!
Well, please continue with your pagan sun god worship. God gave us free choice.
I must ask why PFT chooses to keep Judaism’s Hebraic festal calendar that worships the moon rather than the Covenant Calendar of Scripture but yet you ask why Christians should follow the Roman calendar?
Jesus was not born on December 25th. Period. End of debate. Mary and Joseph were traveling for the census which took place in late summer.
Whether those scholars would accept the "theory" or not is moot. The fact of the matter is that the Christmas traditions came from various sun worshiping cults over time, and were eventually absorbed by the Catholic Church when they appropriated them to convert already practicing pagans to their religion. God is not a liar when He calls traditional Christianity "Mystery Babylon" in Rev. 17:5. All of its traditions came paganism.
Bravo for this teaching! Very thorough. Spirit and Truth. I will share. My only difference is in the feast days. Passover is actually not one of the holy feasts although a high holy day of celebration. The order of feasts would be:
1) Unleavened Bread
2) Firstfruits
3) Pentecost
4) Feast of Trumpets
5) Day of Atonement
6) Feast of Tabernacles
7) The Last Great Day
Many aren’t aware of the Last Great Day which overlaps on Tabernacles also called the 8th day. That’s when the 2nd resurrection takes place of all creation. Just before eternity. 8 is the infinity number.
I’ve been deconstructing, this video has confirmed that I have made the right decision.
Best explanation I’ve heard so far!👏🙏❤ thank you & God bless!
