Dear Father,
We praise you for who you are and for what you are doing in the lives of your children. Thank You for your tender mercies and for your forgiveness and for your guildance. Dear Father, we ask that you open our hearts and minds to receive those things that you would have us to receive. We ask that all deceptions be lifted away from our hearts and minds. We do not want to follow after darkness but after your heavenly ways and your righteousness. Let us know truth. Light our paths that we may see clearly. Let us walk in your light and not in darkness. Let the hearts of the children be returned to the heart of the fathers and to your heart, Father of fathers. In Jesus Name, Amen.

NOTE: My purpose for teaching the hidden truth about christmas is NOT to condemn or judge any person (Rms14). We all must follow GOD according to what our current understandings are according to GODs Will for our lives today. With that said, I do think that over time, All of GODs People will eventually be brought into unity of one faith and one doctrine. Therefore it is still necessary to provide the proper teaching concerning proper Holy acceptable worship to the Almighty. With that said, I now hereby provide this teaching for the edification of the Church. Please note that I am NOT saying that if you keep christmas and easter that you are not saved. I am NOT saying that. I am saying that as a Christian, i know you want all your service to the King to be good, Honorable and acceptable. Let's present Holy Offerings to Christ our Saviour and King and let NONE of your worship be in vain. May GOD continue to Bless you in your growth with Christ JESUS.

Dear brothers and sister,
Please lay aside all your wisdom and knowledge and open your minds to the Holy Word of God and to His revelations. Almost everyone around the world believe what they believe because it is what they were taught by their parents, family, friends, community, ministers and tracts. But the Bible does NOT say to believe what the world teaches and what people tell you.
The Bible says in 1 Thes. 5:21 "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."
1Th 5:22 "Abstain from all appearance of evil."
Rom 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
So, lets study this subject closely and see what God whats us to know.

Question: Is it enough to just believe in God and do whatever WE want to do?
Answer: NO, James 2:19 "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."

Question: Is it possible that the whole world is wrong?
Answer: Yes, Rev 12:9 "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:.."

Question: Is it possible to worship God but that worship be in vain?
Is it possible that some ministers use the name of God but yet deceive people?
Answer: yes, Mat 15:9 "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
Mar 7:7 "Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
Rom 1:21 "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things."

So the Bible does clearly teach that the whole world has been deceived and that some people do worship God in vain and that some men teach the commandments of men instead of the doctrines of God AND that some people are vain in imaginations and claim to be wise when really they are not.

So, there is Truth. And there is deception. We must see what the Truth is and what is the deception. What does the Bible say about Christmas? First of all, the word "Christmas" does NOT appear in the Bible. No, it does not. Okay, it does talk about the birth of Jesus the Christ but does it say anything about that happening on chirstmas day or that it happened on December 25th or that we are to keep that day as a Holy Day to always commendate that day? No, it does not! In fact the christmas story as it has been told to all of us is much different than the biblical account of the birth of Jesus. The biblical account does NOT say that there was 3 wisemen. It does not say how many wisemen there were. It does not say that the wisemen was black, white and chinese as some are taught. It does not say it was on christmas day. It does not say it was in the winter. It does not say to keep this day every year. Surely if God wanted us to keep that day in our rememberance, He would have clearly told us what day to keep. He told us to keep the sabbath day. He told us to keep Passover and other days. He told us how to count to Pentecost. But He never told us to keep christmas.
Did christmas already exist BEFORE the birth of Jesus or did it START with the birth of Jesus? What is christmas? What are its orgins? This is easy to find out. Just look in any encyclopedia! Since we are on the internet, please go to Wikipedia the best internet encyclopedia on the internet. That article on christmas CLEARLY shows MANY connections of christmas to the original pagan birthdays of false gods. Christians thru-out the ages have always disagreed about christmas because some christians do know the fact that it is of pagan orgins. What does the christmas tree have to do with Jesus? NOTHING! What does the yule log and the mistletoe have to do with Jesus? NOTHING! What does Satan Claus, St.Nick, the christmas tree, the yule log and the mistletoe have to do with pagan rituals? EVERYTHING! Do your research!
Doesn't the Bible teach us to NOT lie? What are parents doing every year when they teach their kids about Santa Claus? Lieing! Hey, lets not sugar-coat it. We are lying when we teach children FAIRY tales. It's one thing to read them a fictional story but then it's completely another thing to teach them to believe in a fairy tale and to keep it as a CUSTOM every year and to pass this IMAGINATION onto each generation. Aren't we suppose to teach Gods commandments thru-out all generations?

No wonder the world is in the shape it is in. We are all liars!

You can find much about "Old Nick" and the christmas tree with some easy research at any library. You just need to get off the couch, away from the television set and prove for yourself what to believe. The bible says to prove all things. SO, don't believe me! Do your own research!

Let's go back to the Bible for a minute and get some guildance there. First, answer this question out loud: What kind of tree does a person go out into the woods and cut it down and bring it inside and fasten it so that it will not fall down and decorate it?
It's a christmas tree. Of course it is. That's the only tree we do this with. Let's see what the Bible says about this custom/tradition.
Jer 10:1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: :2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. :3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. :4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. :5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. :6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might. :7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee. :8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities. :9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men. :10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. :11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.

It's is very evident that the Bible is against the custom of the christmas tree and that this existed way before the birth of Christ.
Question: I'm not doing christmas for pagan reasons, I'm worshipping God, so what's wrong with it?
Answer: Matt. 15:9 "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
Deut. 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
32What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

God does not want us to take the pagan holidays of the druids and false gods and observe those same days for his purpose. He has set rules. You can't just justify your owns ways, we must follow His ways. In Lev. 1-3 we see the Burnt Offerings, Grain Offerings and Peace offerings are all voluntary. BUT yet they all had to be done in a holy way. NOT just ANY way. Lev. 4-7 contains mandatory offerings of sin offerings and trespass offerings which were required under the old covenant. But whether the offerings were mandatory or voluntary, in either case, the offerings needed to be ACCEPTABLE to the LORD. Notice in Lev. 10:1-3 where two people made an Unholy offering of strange fire to the LORD. They died! It is NOT acceptable to bring pagan offerings to the Most Holy GOD! Also remember that GOD was pleased with Abel's offering but NOT pleased with Cain's offering.

Excuse: "I not observing the pagan gods, I'm worshipping Christ. We are to capture anything that is used for darkness and claim it for Christ and bring it into the light."
Answer: The orgin of Christmas and Easter is of the devil and darkness for the purpose of getting people to worship in vain which is what the Bible says about the christmas tree and about the easter sunrise service. It is not bringing it into the light and for Christ if we are still using the same pagan rituals that the pagans used to celebrate these days. It is also not of God if we do not tell the people the truth about the orgins. It is deception to tell the people that the reason for the season is Christ. The reason for the christmas and easter seasons is that the devil created false worship days, counterfeits of what God really wants us to do and worship. God gave us true Holy Days in Lev. 23 and other scriptures. Christmas and Easter is not listed as days that God wants us to keep. If people want to capture the pagan holidays and bring them into the light of Christ, they should be honest about the orgins and not hide the orgins and tell the people the truth instead of lieing about it or instead of hiding it.

Question: Doesn't the fact that christmas is under attack show that the devil does not like us keeping chritmas and that God does want us to keep it?
Answer: No. In fact, if you really examine who is behind the law suits and disagreements in the public schools, etc. you will find that the satanist and pagans are NOT the ones behind trying to keep christmas out of the public realm. It is the atheist who do not believe in God or the devil either one who is behind those attacks. The real satanist and pagans and witches are in FAVOR of keeping christmas! Real satanist, pagans and witches keep christmas and easter as they have done even before the time Christ was born. Real evil people keep these holidays and even laugh at christians for keeping them. They laugh because they know and even have stated to me that they think it is so funny that christians are keeping THEIR satanic holidays! They even kidnap and murder people on these days! Every christmas and every easter, people die because of these pagan rituals.

Question: Is christmas really evil or is it just too commerical?
Answer: Why must you hang onto a pagan holiday? Do you not want to give it up? This is really a matter of keeping the 10 Comandments: Exo 20:3 "Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Exo 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;"

Excuse: We are celebrating Christ Birth. I am even keeping the xmas tree out. Now there is no harm just remembering Christ birth on Dec. 25th even though i know that's not the real day.
Answer: Truly Christ was born. But the early church and the apostles did not celebrate birthdays. The Word of GOD goes to exter effort to tell us WHEN to keep Holy Days. But it does NOT direct us to keep birthdays. If you feel that you MUST remember His Birth, please do so on a day that is not confused and compromised with demonic pagan customs. Pagan customs equals sin. Pagan customs equal worship of false gods. So pick another day of the year!!! Lets be honest. How much time at christmas do you spend thinking and talking about Christ? When you are at a birthday party for a child, that child is the focus of all the attention. Every thing done that day and in that party is focused on that child. Is this so at the christmas party? Is this so at your family gathering? OR is the focus on the presents to one another and NOT on Christ? What is the conversation? Think about it and be honest. Who is on the christmas wrap? Satan Claus or Jesus? Who is on the top of the tree? An Angel or Jesus? Is Jesus the Focus? OR NOT?

Excuse: This is a time for the family to be together and be thankful and rejoice.
Answer: Thanksgiving is a time for the family to get together and be thankful and rejoice. Passover is a time for the family to get together and remember Christ. Pentecost is a time for the family to get together and rejoice. And so forth. We are NOT Lacking a day to gather and rejoice. You can give gifts at the Feast of Tabernacles which is highly likely to be the real Birth of Our Saviour Jesus the Christ.

Question: What are the orgins of St.Nick and that children must not be up late on christmas eve?
Answer: Satan Claus has his orgins mixed from several different monsters and false gods. Book: "St.Nicholas- His Legend and His Role" Pages 134-135
"Among Teutonic peoples, particularly, this water spirit is widely known with various names, such as Nix, Nickel, Nickelman, Nick, Nokke. Millers are said to be particularly afraid of this spirit and to throw different things into the water on the sixth day of December, St. Nicholas' day, to propitiate it. In the character of Nikur, a Protean water sprite...he inhabits the lakes and rivers of Scandinavia, where he raises sudden storms and tempests and leads mankind into destruction......In France there is known a similar water monster, and there, paradoxical as it may seem, it has taken the name of the benevolent St. Nickolas. It is a terrible monster that seizes fisherman who walk without permission by the water side at night-fall. It has claws and tears the faces of the children that remain too late on the beach." ..."...The same conversion of an old name to a new use is to be seen in the case of the "Old Nick," in the beginning the name of a water spirit, later a name for the Devil."
Also do research on the false god Thor, the god of thunder who dressed in red and came down the chimney and had flying reindeers!

Question: Do you believe in Jesus?
Answer: YES, I Know that He was born and lived and died for our sins and rose the 3rd day! Praise God for these facts because we surely need his Mercy! Wake UP!

Ignorance NOT an excuse
Acts 17:28-30:
28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
30And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

Would you go along with the activities?


Of course it's a ritual that has pagan origins
but your friends say that they are devoting 
this  feast to the Lord and doing it in His honor.

Would you convince yourself and others
that it was the right thing to do ?

Would your excuse be - that you were conquering
paganism by turning the golden Calf into a way to honor Christ ?

So what do you say ?

Are you in ?

Would you go along with your church,
your family, and your friends on this ?

Well, there was a group of people who long ago
were faced with this very scenario. They were
the Israelites whom God had led out of captivity
from Egypt. They were on their way to the Promised Land.

But there came a time when someone came up with
the bright idea of making a golden calf and claiming
that it was a good way to honor God (Exodus 32:1-4).

The Israelites had previously been taught God's
warnings that they were not to make graven images
nor bow down to them nor serve them - but they
decided to do it anyway.

They had witnessed with their own eyes the
wickedness of Egypt with its false gods and pagan
religious rituals, yet here they were copying the
very people whom God was trying to set them free from.

It is true that they tried to "clean up" and make
holy what they were about to do by saying that the
calf was an offering and festival to the Lord.
The bible reads, "And when Aaron saw it
[the golden calf], he built an altar before it;
and Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow
is a feast to the Lord. And they rose up early
on the morrow, and offered...and brought peace
offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to
drink, and rose up to play." (Exodus 32:5-6)

But do you think God wanted their pagan-inspired
calf? Do you think God said, "Well, they scratched
off Molech's name and replaced it with my name,
so that makes it all right"?

Of course not !    God was not pleased at all.

Let's read just how unpleased God was with the
Israelites for doing this thing:

"The LORD said to Moses:
Hurry back down! Those people that you
led out of Egypt are acting like fools.
They have already stopped obeying me
and have made themselves an idol in the
shape of a young bull. They have bowed down
to it...and said that it is the god who
brought them out of Egypt.
Moses, I have seen how stubborn these people are,
and I'm angry enough to destroy them, so don't
try to stop me."
(Exodus 32:7-10)(CEV)-BibleGateway

"As Moses got closer to the camp,
he saw the idol, and he also saw
the people dancing around. This made
him so angry that he threw down the
stones and broke them to pieces at
the foot of the mountain. He melted the
idol that the people had made, and he
ground it into powder. He scattered it in
their water and made them drink it."
(Exodus 32:19,20)(CEV)-BibleGateway

"So Moses stood at the gate of the camp
and shouted, " Everyone who is on the LORD's
side come over here!"  Then the men of the
Levi tribe gathered around Moses, and he said
to them, " The LORD God of Israel commands you
to strap on your swords and go through the camp,
killing your relatives, your friends, and your
neighbors."  The men of the Levi tribe followed
his orders, and that day they killed about three
thousand men."
(Exodus 32:26-28)(CEV)-BibleGateway


The Israelites were trying to exchange the truth
of God for a lie, and they were trying to fit satanic-
inspired worship into true holy worship and devotion.
But we can clearly see that  God did NOT want
anything to do with it or those who got involved with it.
God considered these people as evil and ordered them
to be destroyed.

Now, you may be sitting there saying, "Well,
I would have never taken part in something like
that anyway. I know better."

Do you?

Are you sure you haven't already been doing
this very same thing?

How similar were these actions by the Israelites
to something that Christians around the world do
every year. Christians take something that they
know has evil origins, satanic beginnings, and pagan
roots, and they change the name of it around, and
tack on a couple of sweet-sounding platitudes,
and proclaim that "It's a day of honor to the Lord."

What am I talking about?

I'm talking about the yearly celebration of
Christmas by so-called followers of Christ.

The origins of "Christmas" and the traditions
associated with it are widely known by the world
to have derived from the pagan Romans and their
"Feast of Saturnalia" in honor of their god Saturn.
Everything from gift exchanging, evergreen trees,
mistletoe, tree decorating, yule logs, holly and
ivy traces back to this satanic ritual that the
pagan Romans practiced.

In spite of having knowledge of Christmas' sordid
beginnings, stiffnecked, rebellious Christians insist
on doing just like the Israelites, and they turn this
golden calf from Satan himself into something they
worship as unto the Lord.  All of it is truly
offensive to the very One you claim to be honoring.

If you put a pig in a tuxedo, you still have a pig.
And if you take that which is dung and set it in a
box and gift wrap it, it still stinks.

You cannot make what is unholy holy, and God does
not want that which has been offered to devils
given to Him as homage. The Lord didn't want Israel's
golden calf, and He doesn't want your "Jesus is the
reason for the season" nonsense!
