As Scripture says, "One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord". Christ was born is all that matters.
If people are told the simply plain TRUTH that Christmas is a pagan festival, and it's not Yahushua's birthday. The Most High did not tell us to observe it, and what we should be observing is recorded in Leviticus 23. The laws / instructions of the Most High YAH and Yahusha said that in Matthew
West Huff, Mike Winger, and hundreds of other ACTUALLY credible historians have disproven this myth too many times to count. Christmas is not pagan, there are ZERO credible historically accurate sources that attest to Christmas having anything at all to do with Saturnalia or any of the other pagan festivals that people have tried to attach to Christmas because of a single similarity; a tree. And before you bring up Jeremiah 10:3-4, that scripture is about carved pagan images, the closest representation we have that would explain it in terms we understand are TOTEM POLES. Carved poles MADE from trees, not the actual trees themselves with foliage. The Christmas tree tradition has various origins that credible sources and historians agree on. The fact is, we don't know which one *started* the tradition, but each of them could equally be true. None of them, however, are tied in any way to any pagan tradition. The fact is, Christmas having pagan origins is quite simply a misconception, born of misinformation. Now, if it makes YOU uncomfortable, then don't do it. But don't claim the Bible is against it and don't claim it's pagan. It's intellectually disingenuous.
How can a Christian ever call someone out for being pagan when you are relying on a human blood sacrifice to get to your heaven. Human blood sacrifice is the epitome of pagan rituals. If the Christmas tree is pagan then what is drinking and bathing in the blood of a sacrificed man.
@@jigsaw924 Man takes pagan rituals and then attributes them to the god of his region. The Christian will talk bad about a human blood sacrifice but its cool when the human blood sacrifice takes place in their book. All of this is pagan and most of it is dependent upon the Sun and food. And as Black People none of this has anything to do with us.
We don't observe the feasts of the old covenant in the same manner either as they were merely the shadow of Christ (Colossians 2:16-17),(Hebrews 10:1-3): If we did, we would have to offer sacrifices, and stone those who broke the sabbath. But I agree with you in principle; Leviticus 23 outlines the 7 feasts that God commanded Israel to observe which all pointed to the work that the Messiah would do. We know Christmas was not one of the 7 feasts and is absolutely a pagan observance.
Incorrect, he was born in the last month of the gregorian calender which had 13 months. His birth is in January and nowhere is it ever recorded to the day.
If Christmas was of God it most definitely would be in the Bible. God would have told us when to celebrate it how to celebrate it and what exact date to celebrate it. He would have told what to do and what not to do regarding it. Clearly if it was his son’s birthday he would have given specifics instructions.
It might make it in the bible one day and it might have been in the bible before. Man speaks for god. So if man wants it in the bible man will put it in the bible.
Some Preachers have forgotten what happened to Eli The Priest and his both his Sons on the Same day, in the Book of 1 Samuel, Chapter 2, Verses 12-36, Where Eli testifies that "Whatever The Lord Pleases HE Does", Amen! They all three died on the same day. Amen
People keep saying it isn't Christ's birthday and it isn't and we know that. We don't believe it is His birthday but we picked a day to celebrate it in honor of Him. People keep saying its not written in the Bible to celebrate it and that's true. However, there isn't anywhere in the Bible to celebrate our individual birthdays either but yet we do. Suicide is caused by many reasons. I think the point he is attempting to make is that people shouldn't allow Christmas to feel unloved, depressed and unwanted. That's true for any holiday. Do what you can or don't do anything at all. If family, friends, coworkers don't accept it, then leave them alone.
You didn’t pick it but the Pagan-believing Romans did😂. Christ said believe on him as the scriptures say and it never said anything about Dec 25th. So why are we celebrating a lie?
Romans 14:5-12 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. There isn't a single thing in creation that belongs to a pagan god. Nothing!
@@Runnit12 People rather follow a "feel good" gospel and they wouldn't like the truth because they wouldn't be able to "DO What Thou Wants to Do". The whole system has been comprised centuries ago. They must have a lot invested (mentally) in these lies. Life is a challenge and there's no scripture that says life is gonna be a cakewalk! Let's hear from 2 Timothy 1:7, who states "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." This is what I'm talkin' about!
Blessings it is in the Bible where it tells you not to celebrate Christmas. Read Jeremiah 10:1-4. The Bible tells us that God is the same yesterday today and forever. He says I change not. He gave Israel strict instructions, not to do these things that they heathens do every time Israel went into captivity. They always pick up bad habits and God had to deal with them when he brought them out of captivity.
Christmas or "Christ Mass" is a Christian holiday where we celebrate the EVENT of birth of the Messiah. We should definitely praise the Lord for what He has done!
It is the time when we celebrate the Advent. World and church history alike how that Christmas is a Christian holy day, and has been since its inception.
Mass is Catholic Why should the church celebrate something the apostles did not. The Catholic Church was/is fake however their influence still comtinues today
Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus. It's been Christianized or rather Christian washed but is nowhere in the Bible. The Apostles of Jesus Christ never commanded such celebration nor Christ himself left us Christmas.
I stopped celebrating this pagan holiday decades ago. God brought me into His marvelous light and I pray that many others learn the truth about this celebration of the Saturnalia Festival and the Winter Solstice celebration. And to take it further, we ain’t supposed to celebrate our OWN birthday.
Easter deals with solstice celebration which is why the day of celebration changes. Thanksgiving is Nordic holiday which venerates Thor which is why its always on Thor'sday. Dont you value human blood sacrifice as a Good Christian? What is more of a pagan ritual of a human blood sacrifice?
Its all pagan. We have pagan rituals in both testaments of the bible. We call on pagan deities everyday with the days of the week. Many of our holidays are based on the pattern of the Sun. When you get your god from man you will have pagan rituals withing your belief system.
@@tomikaprince5495 You say dont do with the heathens do. But heaths deal with human blood sacrifice just like the Christian. The heathens were having baptisms way before Christ was born. The heathens were sacrificing animals and sprinkling animal blood all over the place way before Yahweh commanded priests to do the same thing. Christians celebrate everything the "heathen" does
Blessings just read Jeremiah 3:1-4. These are the words that God spoke to Israel. The Bible tells us that God is the same yesterday today and forever I changed not. When you’re in a pagan nation, you do as they do.

This is NOT cool, and very insensitive. Check on your individuals People are NOT OK! As a leader you have to know what to say, when to say things, and how to say things. You have to know how to minister to ALL individuals. His tone and delivery is harsh. Hugs and prayers to everyone dealing with things they don't talk about. It's not about Christmas or the Holidays.

There's a disorder called SAD.... SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER. SAD is a mood disorder characterized by depression that occurs at the same time every year. Seasonal affective disorder occurs in climates where there is less sunlight at certain times of the year. Symptoms include fatigue, depression, hopelessness, and social withdrawal. Treatment includes light therapy (phototherapy), talk therapy, and medications. Let's pray for one another. Everyone isn't as mentally and emotionally strong as others.
Indeed. The Bishop probably means well but we know that he is not a trained psychologist so his perspective and delivery is indeed a bit unbalanced. There are many factors that contribute to a person being suicidal during the holidays including depression and also spiritual oppression. We most definitely need to pray for all of those battling with these things.
This message is disturbing. It’s this type of ideology that will cause Christian’s and non Christian’s alike, to run from spiritual counseling.
