Bible Note: Taleb, Part 1 I am curious if you have ever researched the history of xmas thoroughly? In my view, the only way anyone who believes that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Son of God and can honor xmas is because they have not done their due diligence. 60 minutes of research on the internet would show how the Savior and xmas do not mix. Briefly: *As a Jew, Yeshua (Jesus) did not celebrate birthdays. *Xmas is the pagan winter festival of saturnalia which was assimilated as part of Catholicism when Constantine "legalized" it. *Since antiquity 12/25 was celebrated as the birthday of Nimrod, Zeus, Thor, etc., why pick this day for Messiah's birth? *Xmas was outlawed in England and the Colonies by the Pilgrims *Xmas as it is known only re-gained popularity in the late 1800's *Messiah was most likely born on Tishri 15th (late Sept/Oct), the Feast of Tabernacles *There is no commandment to celebrate any birthday in the Bible *There are commandments to celebrate certain days God has designated in the Bible that we do not celebrate *Mistletoe, holly, wreaths were all thought to be aphrodisiacs for the orgies that were performed to celebrate the winter solstice *Throwing a "yule" (Scandinavian word for son) on the fire is link to child sacrifice and the xmas tree is the reborn child All of this is common knowledge among pastors and priests. They have gone the way of Balaam where they are more concerned with commerce than the truth. Revelation 12:9 states, ".. satan deceives the whole world.." "...through your traditions you have made the Word of God of none effect" Mark 7:13 Greg Boone |
