In ancient Babylon, the feast of the Son of Ishtar was done on December 25th for her son’s birthday.
Then jump ahead hundreds of years, Rome is worshipping the birth of the Sun God, Mithras.
The first pope (some will say peter but peter never went to Rome) Pope Constantine was a Sun worshipper. Constantine renamed his worship of Mithras and gift giving holiday and called it Christmas for the Christians that he brought into the Empire.
Since Jesus (John 15:19 ) was speaking of being no part of the world and the world Worships Mithras on DEC 25th then wouldn’t they be considered pagans?
John 15:19 - “If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
