“Learn not the way of the nations, nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens because
the nations are dismayed at them, for the customs of
the peoples are vanity. A tree from the forest is cut down and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman. They decorate it
with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer
and nails so that it cannot move. Their idols
are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and
they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they
cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in
them to do good.”
Jeremiah 10:1-6
No one have the exact confirmation concerning the birth of Jesus Christ. Because the bible doesn’t give us the specific time of the year in which Jesus was born.
AS ‘’Christians’’ the bible is our mirror and our number one reference. In the bible no one celebrated the birth of Jesus before or after His death (nor even the apostles). And the bible doesn’t say anything about the 25th of December. Now where the tradition of Christmas is from? Mark 7:9 ‘’and he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition’’!
In Roman Empire, from
December 17th up to 23th was the week they used to celebrate the
sun-god Saturn by giving offerings to the god and presents to one another as we do in Christmas. And the 25th December was
the "Birthday of the Unconquerable
Sun." it's also the day the renewal of light and the coming of the New
Year was celebrated. All these festivals were totally pagan origin. It's not
by accident that ‘’Christians’’ chooses exactly the same day to be the ‘’birthday’’
of Christ. They changes the object but they kept all the tradition behind the
festivals. Mark 7:6-7 also says: ‘’ Vain do they worship me, teaching as
doctrines the commandments of men.
Is Christmas really the will of God? If it‘s so why doesn’t the bible says anything about it? Even if is the will of God, I believe that the way the world celebrates Christmas has nothing to do with the birth of Christ.
Everything related to Christmas is pagan origin. Who is Santa Claus, what is the meaning of Christmas tree and what about the changing of gifts? What these things have to do with the birth of Christ.
Be aware my brothers and sisters for ‘’Satan disguises himself as an angel of light’’
Jesus is born in our heart every time we repent from our sins. No need to celebrate Christ only on Christmas, however if you choose to celebrate Christ on December 25th, make sure that it all about Christ (not about Santa Claus, the three or the gifts). As it's written; ''So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.'' 1 Corinthians 10:31
Let Jesus born and live every day and forever in your
heart!
