How are you going to celebrate christmas this year?

Question

Personally, my holidays will be chock full of drinking, gambling, singing, and public nudity just like they used to do during saturnalia (which, as we all know, is the pagan holiday that gave birth to christmas). Oh, also I will be partaking in various forms of consumerism in the name of the lord and some idolatry towards santa (I'm going to place my sugar filled boots near the chimney so the pagan god Odin's horse can eat it, and he'll reward me with candy)

Answer 1

LOL, was wondering where you were going with that. dont forget the christmas traditions the evergreen tree (the symbol of renewal of life) is also pagan, so is the tradition of holly and mistletoes. even eating ham is derived from the pagan tradition.

Answer 2

The same way I do every year - as a social family thing. But this year I won't spend a couple of days cooking for the family, which I'll miss.so that'll be different, and also, this year we won't be obsessed with buying presents.

We've decided to put a cap on the spending.

Answer 3

Well, I start off with a two hour mass celebrating Christ (who Christmas is named after) and then I have a wonderful breakfast with my family and open gifts. We listen to carols about Christ and God and prepare dinner. All day we receive calls from relatives, and give calls as well, wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas.

Answer 4

I'm going to watch the movie "Life of Brian" (family tradition) and any other movies that have a NON-religious theme. Your nude, drinking, gambling thing sounds good too, enjoy.

Answer 5

Oh I like the public nudity part but alas my wife wont let me anymore

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

is a PROVEN FACT that the FESTIVITIES of CHRISTMAS and NEW YEAR are the SAME WORSHIP to the SAME PAGAN GODS which Yahweh tells us is an ABOMINATION to Him. Yahweh also says to us in:

Yeremyah 10:2-5—
2 This is what Yahweh says: DO NOT LEARN the way; religious practices, of the heathen; Gentile nations; and do not be deceived by the signs of heaven; though the heathen are deceived by them; using them to set their feasts.
3 For the religious CUSTOMS of the peoples are VAIN; worthless! For one cuts a TREE out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
4 They DECORATE with SILVER and with GOLD; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it will not move; topple over.
5 They are upright, like a palm TREE, but they cannot speak; they must be carried, because they cannot go by themselves. Do not give them reverence! They cannot do evil, NOR is it in them to DO RIGHTEOUSNESS!"


Yahweh has told us emphatically, "do not learn the way of the heathen!" The way of the heathen is written in the chapters of man's customs and traditions that have come down from Nimrod-Semiramis-Ninus-mother-... adoration worship.

Yahweh's Way is written in the Holy Scriptures. His way is there for His House to read and then to obey.

Deuteronomy 4:1-2—
1 Hear now, O Israyl, the statutes and the judgments which I teach you to observe and do, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh, the Heavenly Father of your fathers, is giving you.
2 You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor shall you take anything from it, so that you may keep the commandments (Laws) of Yahweh your Father which I command you.



------------------------------...
We realize that these customs of Christmas and New Year are presented to this world as beautiful things. These worldly holidays are well bounded in the very fabric of life in the Christian world. These are times when families come together, gifts are exchanged, and the tree is set up with all the old, familiar decorations. These festivals play on the emotions and senses of mankind. These are exactly the kinds of feelings Satan uses to get this world to give her the worship she desires.
------------------------------...

The worldly preachers who claim to follow the Scriptures are AFRAID TO CONDEMN these pagan practices. They are afraid of upsetting all the rich merchants who benefit during the yule-tide season. They are afraid of upsetting the worship of the sun that brings them so much wealth.

II Corinthians 11:14-15—
14 And no marvel; for Satan herself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore, it is no great thing if her ministers also are transformed as the ministers of righteousness whose end will be according to their works.


Satan makes the emotional holidays at this time of the year seem so right. But to know these customs and traditions are the worship of pagan Gods and then to still willfully participate in them is an abominable sin.

Hebrews 10:26—
For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins.


To know that these Christian holidays of Christmas and New Year are nothing more than the worship of the ancient pagan Gods is to also know that to bow down and worship them is breaking the first two of the ten commandments.

The First Commandment is that Yahweh is our Heavenly Father and we are to have no hinder Gods at all, (Exodus 20:2-3).

The Second Commandment is that we are not to make any carved image in the form of anything in heaven, on earth, or in the waters, to bow down and serve them. (Exodus 20:4-5).

To bow down and serve Yahweh is to obey every Word that proceeds out of His mouth, not adding to it nor diminishing from it in any way.

All one needs to do in order to serve hinder Gods is to turn from Yahweh's way. Do not be mistaken, Yahweh is alive and sees all. Yahweh is the rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.

Hebrews 11:6—
But without the faith it is impossible to please Him; for he who comes to Yahweh must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

The only reward that this sin-sick world has is the emotional reward they receive as they keep these pagan festivals. Their names are not written in the Book of Life and they will not know what has hit them when Yahshua returns. What is Yahweh's word on this pagan worship?

Deuteronomy 12:30-32—
30 Be careful not to be ensnared into following them by asking about their Gods (elohim), saying: How did these nations serve their gods (elohim)? I also will do the same.
31 You must not worship Yahweh your Father in their way, for every abomination to Yahweh, which He hates, they have done to their Gods (elohim). They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their Gods (elohim).
32 Whatsoever I command you, be careful to observe and do it, you shall not add to it, nor take away from it.
