How did we get December 25th

Sol Invictus

Saturnalia

Holy people die on the date they were conceived

1.              Christmas Tree

2.              St. Bonafice

3.              Paradise Tree

 

Jeremiah 10: 2 – 4 (NLT)

   …“Do not act like the other nations, who try to read their future in the stars. Do not be afraid of their predictions, even though other nations are terrified by them.   3 Their ways are futile and foolish. They cut down a tree, and a craftsman carves an idol.  4 They decorate it with gold and silver and then fasten it securely with hammer and nails so it won’t fall over.

 

Celebrating Christ’s birth isn’t in the Bible.

 

John 10: 22 & 23 (NKJV)

   Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.  23 And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.

 

Bible is full of examples that teach us we are to remember the deeds of God

1 Corinthians 8: 4 – 6 (NLT)

   So, what about eating meat that has been offered to idols? Well, we all know that an idol is not really a god and that there is only one God.  5 There may be so-called gods both in heaven and on earth, and some people actually worship many gods and many lords. 6 But for us, There is one God, the Father, by whom all things were created, and for whom we live. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created, and through whom we live.
