Christmas Trees

"Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not." -Jeremiah 10:2-4

"Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree" -Deuteronomy 12:2

Do you think Christmas trees have anything to do with Christ? They don't. Under different names, Christmas trees were used for centuries before Christ was born on this earth. The above scriptures are very clear. Christmas trees are against the will of God.

Santa Clause/"Saint Nicolas"

"So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate." -Revelation 2:15

Those who hold the doctrines of the Niclaitanes are those who follow the doctrines of Nicolas. The doctrines of Nicolas include, but are not limited to: Christmas, Easter, Halloween, worldliness, etc.

The Christmas Star

"But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts." - Amos 5:26-27

"Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon." -Acts 7:43

The real Bethlehem star showed up around September 10, 3BC. You can track it on Stellarium. Set the astronomical year to -2, and look in the constellation of Leo, right over his heart. The Christmas star is different than the Bethlehem star. The Christmas star is Saturn. "The star of your god," and "Remphan" are names for Saturn, of the Saturnalia celebration that takes place on or near December 25. Moloch (also known as Baal) was born on or around December 25, not Jesus. It's a historical fact that Saturnalia is the predecessor of Christmas. Jesus was born around September 29, 3BC. This is in the Bible.

Solomon erred after Christmas, Easter, and More

"For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites." -1 Kings 11:4-5

Solomon allowed himself to be swayed by peer pressure to start adding Christmas and Easter into his worship. Notice the above doesn't say he stopped following the one true God, it says "his heart was not perfect with the Lord." The definition of having a perfect heart with the Lord, is to not whore after the false gods. The above says David's heart was perfect with the Lord, yet David committed adultery and murder! How was his heart perfect? Because he repented, TRULY repented of those sins, and his heart never wavered towards doing any service to the false gods.

The above says that Solomon went after Ashtoreth. She is also known as "the queen of heaven" in the Bible. In Jeremiah chapter 7, we see a pagan eucharistic service being done unto the "queen of heaven." Ashtoreth was Nimrod's wife, BTW. In English, the word Ashtoreth is EASTER. Milcom is an interchangeable name with Molech, and "Christmas" is a celebration of the false virgin birth of Molech/Milcom/Baal from Ashtoreth/Easter. This was Satan's futile attempt to counterfeit the prophecy of Genesis 3:15.

In today's speak, some of what Solomon did, was adding Christmas and Easter into his life, but he continued believing in the one, true God. The above says that because of that, his heart was not perfect with the Lord.

What About What's in Your Heart?

"And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 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. And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 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. 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. 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. 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" -Exodus 32:1-7

The people of God decided to make a golden calf, and erect it by an altar. How many churches put up Christmas trees by the altar, which is clearly against Jeremiah 10:2-4? The Israelites didn't give up on worshiping God, even though they erected a golden calf. The above says that they held "a feast to the Lord." They did homage to the one, true God, first, via rising early in the morning to offer burnt offerings, and peace offerings, and they sat down to eat and to drink for this feast unto the Lord. Then the above tells us that after they feasted unto the Lord, they "rose up to play." They made merry, and did the festivities of a religious custom they had learned from Egypt, from whence they used to dwell.

What did God think of this? Did He figure that since they claim to still believe in Him, that it's okay that they did the pagan religious customs, because they first feasted unto Him? No! The above says that God said they "have corrupted themselves." If you keep reading in that chapter, you'll see just how angry this made Him.

Did you know the Bible talks a lot more about spiritual fornication than physical fornication? We know physical fornication is sex outside of marriage, and includes adultery. Spiritual fornication/harlotry/adultery is when the person of God takes on some traditions of man that give some form of service to a false god. It doesn't matter if you believe in, or purposely worship that false god or not. Just like if you are married, and you commit adultery, it doesn't matter if "it didn't mean anything," and that you didn't love the one you cheated with. You still cheated. Christmas, Easter, and Halloween is cheating on God.

Partaking of the Table of Devils

"Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?" -1 Corinthians 10:18

How does this apply to us? If we partake of the religious customs/traditions of man, then even if we are just doing it because it's fun, but it doesn't mean anything to us, we are counted as being partakers of that false religion. Do you see that? If you partake of the festivities (such as Christmas, Easter, Halloween) you are partaking of those devils/false gods/altar behind those pagan customs/traditions.

Take a look below:

"Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils." -1 Corinthians 10:21

Hey Christian: Did you know that if you partake of Christmas, Easter, and/or Halloween, you are not worthy to take Communion? You must CHOOSE. If you are partaking of any parts of these pagan traditions of man, then according to the above, you are partaking of the cup of devils/demons. There are devils behind all false gods and pagan religious helladays. You may not be cognizant of that devil/false god, or even if you are, you may not "love them," but if you are partaking in Christmas, Easter, and/or Halloween, you are doing them service, nonetheless. To choose to keep Christmas, for example, and still claim to be a Child of God is a contradiction, and against the will of God!

Traditions of Man, and the Appearance of Evil

"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." -Colossians 2:8

"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil." -1 Thessalonians 5:21-22

A Christian partaking in these known pagan festivities can create a stumbling block for Christians new in the faith, or those who aren't saved yet, but are considering it. Many know the pagan background of these customs. It's in most encyclopedias. This is not hidden knowledge. Anyone can learn about his stuff. The pagans are laughing at the Christians, because the "Christians" join in their pagan festivities. The pagans are calling Christians hypocrites, and rightly so.

Family Traditions

"Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." -Joshua 24:14-15

Notice the above says "serve." When you "celebrate Christmas," for example, you are serving the devils behind that pagan holiday, whether you know or acknowledge it or not. Choose, right now - God or man? Are you going to celebrate these pagan religions traditions, because your family did/does?

God is all About the TRUTH

"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." -John 4:24

Christmas has nothing to do with Christ. NOTHING. Saying it does is not the TRUTH.
Easter has nothing to do with Christ. NOTHING. Saying it does is not the TRUTH.
Halloween has nothing to do with Christ. NOTHING. Saying it does is not the TRUTH.

Don't Serve Them

"Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images." -Exodus 23:23

It's not enough to say you're "celebrating Christmas," but you are not worshiping false gods. The above, and many other Scriptures are very clear that not only are you not to worship them, you are not even to serve them, or do after their works. Take an honest look. You should see the Truth by now.
