How many of us lie to our children about Christmas? Santa Claus? Flying reindeer?
Did you know that Christmas is not even mentioned in the Bible? That it is a man-made, pagan holiday, much like Kwanzaa, and others similar?
Did you know that Christmas is now, more than anything, a commercialized celebration for those wanting to make money at that time of the year? That the spirit of Christmas is a fraud?
Are you aware that more depression, suicide, stress, loneliness, and more violations of the seven deadly sins take place at Christmas than at any other time of the year?
The one true, living God does not even condone the celebration of His birthday. Did you know that, in the Bible, only evil people such as King Herod celebrated birthdays? (See Mark 6:21)
The fact is that Jesus wasn’t even born in December, as many believe. And do you know that by celebrating this holiday, you are sinning against what God has commanded?
According to Leviticus chapter 23, God’s people, Jews and Christians alike, are to celebrate forever only those festivals mentioned therein. Rosh Hashana (Feast of Trumpets), Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement), Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), Chanukah (Feast of Dedication/Festival of Lights), and Pesach (Passover/Feast of Unleavened Bread/Feast of First Fruits) are what God’s people should be celebrating. Forever, in accordance with God’s command.
John 8:44 states that “[the devil] is a liar and the father of it.” So has it ever once occurred to you that we are being deceived by the father of deceivers when it comes to Christmas and the celebration of other pagan holidays?
Friends, most of us are guilty of going along with this lie about Christmas, one that is practiced world-wide. But it isn’t too late to change our ways, if we want to please God. Instead of following the crowd, how about remaining separate and apart, trying to please God instead of man? Come Judgment Day, you may be glad you did.
“And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are My feasts.” (Leviticus 23: 1,2 KJV)
