Jeremiah 10:2-4 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. 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 ax. They deck it with silver and with gold;
they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
This one will most certainly draw a lot of fire from fellow believers.
However, the truth must be told!!! First, I must say that, NO, I am
not a Jehovah's Witness. If you want to attach a denomination to me it
would be Baptist. However, I am just a child of the King, Jesus
Christ.
The Christmas celebration as we know it today, is clearly pagan in
origin, that is it has Satan's prints all over it. When researching it
anyone can see it is clearly not a Christian holiday. What bothers me
is so many preachers know what it is and still do nothing about it.
They stand in the pulpit year after year and do not tell the
"flock", that it is one of the pagans most sacred days. Why
is this? Do these men of God not know about it? The reason is the
"flock" would not accept it and would run the preacher off!!
They will let the "flock" drown in sin at risk of loosing
their pay check and position. It boils down to no GUTS!! I get
mail daily from pagans and once in awhile they will slip in the fact
that the church celebrates their holiday, and they are correct!!! Its
time for Gods people to get some backbone and stop the non-sense. We
best do something or God will.
Some will argue that as long as one knows that its is Jesus that we
celebrate, it is ok. How wrong that thinking is. We see in the old
testament time and time again, that when Gods people incorporated
paganism in with there worship, God brought judgment to the nation. It
is no different today. The Roman Catholic church in is desire to
convert the heathen mingled the ways of the pagan's (witchcraft), into
the church. Easter is another one that has paganism mingled with
Jesus.

author of these pages, but agree that Christmas as it is, should not
be in the church or a born again Christians life.
