"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." Matthew 1:21
It is this week that the world will celebrate Christmas, but unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. I have to ask, does people even know what Christmas is, where did it originate, and who is to celebrate it. Christmas comes from two words "Christ-Mass" and it is Catholic by design and in nature, and Pagan. It is not a Christian Holiday, in fact it is not even about Christ and His birth. People celebrate Christmas every year with all the decorations, lights, tree's, gifts, and etc, and this is what it is, it's not about the birth of Jesus Christ nor should be. It is one big lie because it causes people to lie about Santa Claus and that he will bring them gifts. There are some who choose not to celebrate the holiday and they are demonized as haters and un-Christian when just the opposite is true. I must ask, why should Christians and non-Catholics celebrate a holiday that is for them? Even if it was about Jesus Christ who said we ought to celebrate His birth with these sort of deceptions. I do not believe that our sweet Saviour could be happy with this holiday at all. God is a jealous God and He does not want to share His glory with an equal fictional creature such as Santa Claus. Those who do not choose to celebrate Christmas has a more honest belief than those who choose to celebrate it. Personally, I am a Baptist and not a Catholic and therefore I should not attempt to follow Catholicism, in which I think is wrong to began with. I believe that everyone should celebrate the holiday as they choose, I know the world will celebrate it and I am not going to fight the world over a holiday which is secular at best. Even for those who hate the holiday it cannot be ignored in totality, but affects all of us in many ways.
I would like to tell you the truth about Jesus Christ, He was actually born of a woman from the seed of God and the seed of Mary who was a descendent of Abraham, David, and Mary. We have no idea when He was born, but that He indeed was. He was not born to bring about Christmas but to give His life on that wicked cross for our sins. The scriptures conclude He was born "...full of grace and truth." John 1:14 not lies, in fact there is no lies in Him at all. Jesus Christ was born that He may die and save His people from their sins and that He did. While the worldly churches are celebrating all the false theology and lies about Christmas we celebrate the birth and death of Jesus Christ every week without the hoopla and lies. We praise God for our Saviour and thank Jesus Christ for the shedding of His blood and the healing of our transgressions. "And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. (23.) Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:" Acts 13:22 - 23
