The Real Christmas Story - Historians reveals the pagan origins of Christmas


https://youtu.be/gkGfcwY5yKI


Do not worship as the heathen do

Most "christians" defend their pagan practices while claiming those practices are not pagan.  This is especially true with the holidays (holy days) that originated in paganism and was "christianized" by the pagan catholic "church" around AD 400.

The holiday coming up known as 'christmas' is entirely pagan in origin.  Every aspect of the celebration came from pagan celebrations that originated before Yeshua's birth. The pagan celebration was "christianized" by constantine and it became a pagan/christian celebration known as "Christ's Mass" and shortened to christmas which it is known by to this day.

The real christmas story is one of ba-al tammuz, his birth, and his deification and has nothing to do with Messiah Yeshua (Jesus') birthday.  http://www.sabbathcovenant.com/book2MysteryReligionOfBabylon/Chapter5.htm

There are many sites on the internet where you can find "pastors" defending celebrating christmas.  One pastor,  the popular youtube "pastor" JD Farag who tickles the masses ears with "bible prophecy"  every week stated in a video that "the origins of christmas are entirely pagan" and goes on to explain that all the customs are pagan and the holiday was originally pagan - then he goes on to explain that "now it is a celebration of Christ's birth and we can use it as a witnessing tool", etc.  An admittance it is pagan but justifying celebrating it because it "has a good meaning to it now".  Yet he, as well as other "pastors", condemn those who try and do the same thing with other pagan celebrations such as halloween.

It does not matter where its origin is or what meaning people give to it - if it is not how Yahweh said to worship, we are to not worship Him that way.  When Aaron made the golden calf for Ancient Israel to 'worship Yahweh', Yahweh became so angry with them He nearly wiped them out.

Exodus 32
2  And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
3  And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
4  And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
5  And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
6  And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7  And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
8  They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9  And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
10  Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.


Throughout the old testament, Ancient Israel worship the pagan deities - including tammuz - and Yahweh was angry at them.  At times Ancient Israel denied they were worshiping false "gods" and thought they could use the pagan worship for the worship of Yahweh and Yahweh called it an abomination to Him.

Jeremiah 2:23  How canst thou say: 'I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Baalim'? See thy way in the Valley, know what thou hast done; thou art a swift young camel traversing her ways;

Jeremiah 9
13  And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
14  But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them: 

15  Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16  I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.

Ezekiel 8
13  He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
14  Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
15  Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
16  And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.


As stated previously, the christmass celebration was incorporated into catholicism in about 400AD and was celebrated by the pagan "church" since then.  When the anti-semite Martin Luther penned the "95 Theses" attacking the catholic church for selling indulgences.  His theses was the start of the Protestant REFORMATION.  Understand that this was a reformation of a few doctrines Luther did not agree with and was not a restoration back to the worship and following Messiah of the early church.  Luther, and protestants, kept most of what the catholic church taught including pagan holidays of easter and christmas.  Even then, there were many churches that came out of the reformation and condemned both christmas and easter as pagan.  Holidays such as christmas were not celebrated by the Puritans and the colonies outlawed christmas as being pagan for many years:  http://www.livescience.com/32891-why-was-christmas-banned-in-america-.html    christmas did not gain popularity in the United States until anti-semite Charles Dickens wrote 'A Christmas Carol" and came to the United States to promote it and the celebration of christmas.  The holiday christmas became legal in the United States shortly after (1860)

Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) Stated "Those who follow the custom of observing christmas, follow not the bible but pagan ceremonies"



Today catholics have idols in their churches and they worship the idols even though they deny they do.  Protestants deny catholics are christians in part due the the idolatry of the catholic church yet most protestants also worship idols (which they also deny worshiping)

Idol worship is an abomination to Yahweh no matter what the justification is behind it

catholic idol                                              protestant "christmas" idols

worship of the cross by pagan protestant

Deuteronomy 7
25  The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
26  Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.


Nowhere does the bible say to celebrate Messiah Yeshua's birthday.  Nowhere does the bible say to "christianize" pagan holidays (and often gives examples of when Ancient Israel did and Yahweh calling it an abomination) and NOWHERE does the bible say we are to participate in pagan celebrations and then claim it is to "worship Yahweh / Yeshua".  The verse many rebellious people use to justify their pagan practices is where the apostle Paul said to not let anyone judge you for obeying Yahweh's Sabbath, feast days, or new moon, etc. and people twist it around to make it say to not let people judge them for their disobedient pagan practices - twisting it to their own destruction just as Peter said they would do:

Colossians 2
16  Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17  Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

2 Peter 3
14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15  And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16  As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

The myth of the "black moon" - a false "sign"

1 Timothy 4
1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

2 Timothy 4
3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.


Recently there has been some talk of the "black moon" is a "sign" of Yeshua's soon return.  The term "black moon" is from wicca and refers to two new moons in one calendar month.  This is one of four common definitions of the "black moon"  and all hold significance in pagan religions.  https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/moon/black-moon.html

While Yahweh commanded us to celebrate the New Moon every month and while Yeshua's return is extremely near, the "black moon" is NOT a sign from Yahweh.  Yahweh's time keeping is by the new moon and a new moon is what starts one of His given months (and is why He wants us to observe the new moon) and by Yahweh's calendar, there can NEVER be two new moons in one month.  The only calendar two new moons can occur in a single month is a calendar from pagan origins.  This is the same as a "blue moon" which can only happen on pagan originated calendars and not Yahweh's calendar.

Those who give significance to this so called "black moon" are doing so because it tickles their itchy ears.  The "black moon" as defined as two new moons in a month is not as rare as the media and false prophet hype make it out to be - the previous TWO were  in 2014 : january 30, and march 30 :  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_moon  Again, this can only happen on a pagan calendar, not Yahweh's calendar, and has NO significance to those who obey Yahweh.

Yeshua's followers need to be leery of anyone claiming something as a "sign" because many people are trying to deceive and stumble Yeshua's followers in these very last of the last days.  Yeshua said there would be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars but  since this definition of a "black moon" mocks Yahweh and His calendar, it is not one of them.

Numbers 28
11  And in your new moons ye shall present a burnt-offering unto the LORD: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven he-lambs of the first year without blemish;
12  and three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, for each bullock; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, for the one ram;
13  and a several tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering unto every lamb; for a burnt-offering of a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
14  And their drink-offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bullock, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb. This is the burnt-offering of every new moon throughout the months of the year.

1 Samuel 20:5
  And David said unto Jonathan: 'Behold, to-morrow is the new moon, when I should sit with the king to eat; so let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.


And in the millennium, the New Moon as well as the Sabbath will be celebrated:

Isaiah 66:23  And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me, saith the LORD.

and in the verse that rebellious people love to twist to justify their rebellion against Yahweh:

Colossians 2
16  Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath day:
17  which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's.


This verse the apostle Paul is not telling the former pagans, now Christians, living in a pagan society of Colossae that they can rebel against Yahweh - he was telling them to not let their pagan friends and family judge them because they were now obeying Yahweh's feasts - and dietary instructions -  which are the shadow of things to come.  Since they were pagans, their pagan friends and family would not have judged them for observing the pagan feasts and eating pagan foods - but they would judge them for keeping Yahweh's feasts and His dietary instructions .  This is proven because Paul mentions what Yahweh expects of His people: to observe His dietary instructions, His feasts, His New Moons, and His Sabbath

Tomorrow, september 30, 2016, is not special because it is a "black moon" and the "black moon" is NOT a sign of Yeshua's very soon return because it is NOT based on Yahweh's given calendar  BUT it is a New Moon and is the start of Yahweh's instructed Sabbath as well as the start of the feast of trumpets so tomorrow IS a very exciting day we are to celebrate.  Yes, the pagan calendar says the Feast of Trumpets starts sunday but that is not when Yahweh says it starts.

Watch and be ready because you do not know when Yeshua is going to return or when your last heart beat will be.The time to repent is NOW.  If you do not repent, you may be like the five foolish virgins and be left behind OR even worse, may end up in hell for eternity because you were deceived into rejecting Messiah Yeshua by refusing to follow Yahweh's instructions.  If you are Yeshua's sheep, you FOLLOW and OBEY Him.

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Matthew 7
21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
