Celebrating Christmas In The Truth

Please Tell The Truth To The Little Ones Who Believe In Yahushua, Jesus

This commentary is not about whether or not you should observe Christmas. If you are a Christian, it is about celebrating the birth of Christ Yahushua in the truth.

The Truth About Christmas

Holiday Reveal Tuesday: Christmas

Most of us know that celebrating the birth of Yahushua on the 25 of December has a pagan origin. The word Christmas comes from the word "The Mass of Christ" or "Christ's mass" for short. Pope Julius I, in 350 A.D., declared that Christ's birthday was to be celebrated on December 25th. He had good intentions behind his decision. His intent was to make a smooth transition for a gentile to move from a pagan belief to Christianity. It was a follow-up from Constantine The Great, who in 320 A.D. made it mandatory to observe the Sabbath rest on a Sunday.

Sunday is a Roman pagan day for worshipping the sun god. Since Christianity was gaining so much popularity among the Roman citizens, Constantine wanted to be favoured by the majority; he played politics and made a compromise to gain favour from pagan beliefs and the Christian faith. The Gentiles continued to worship their sun god and the Christians, the Son of God, on the same day, Sunday.

Please watch - the origin of the Roman Catholic Church - "Know Your Enemy (Part 23 - Roman Catholicism)"


Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity for personal gain only. The power of emperors was generally based on the accumulation of powers from republican offices and the support of the army. Several other titles and offices were regularly accumulated by Roman emperors, such as Caesar, princeps senatus, consul, and Pontifex Maximus (Pope). Constantine ignored Yahushua’s teaching, which under the Law of Christ, commands Christians not to dispute among themselves on days they should or shouldn't observe.

"So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ," Colossians 2:16-17.

Jeremiah 10:1-5 - The Lord and the Idols

Family of Israel, listen to the Lord!  This is what the Lord says:

Don’t live like people from other nations.

Don’t be afraid of special signs in the sky.

The other nations are afraid of what they see in the sky.

But you must not be afraid of them.

The customs of other people are worth nothing.

Their idols are nothing but wood from the forest.

Their idols are made by workers with their chisels.

They make their idols beautiful with silver and gold.

They use hammers and nails to fasten their idols down so that they will not fall over.

The idols of the other nations are like a scarecrow in a cucumber field.

They cannot walk.

 They cannot talk, and people must carry them. So don’t be afraid of their idols.

  They cannot hurt you. And they cannot help you either.

Making Sunday a doctrine (false doctrine) and obligation as a day of worship became unfavourable for Christians and Jews. For Christian's gentile, no specific day was appointed for the get-together. As for Christian Jews, they kept the traditional Sabbath Saturday to assemble. Persecution took altogether a different form for both Jews and Christians who refused to obey. It did favour the Roman citizens who observed their pagan god. It turned for the worse when the pope declared himself the only vicar between man and God. Yahushua died on the cross to redeem our souls and establish a true relationship directly with God the Father.  Please read:"THE CHRISTMAS LIE: It's Bigger Than You Think".

Have a big dose of a reality check... today Christianity is a pot of soup with Yahushua teaching mixed with the pagan observance that the scriptures called the tradition of man. Please watch Occult/Satanic Holidays Exposed! (X-mas, Easter, V-Day, & Halloween)

"Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ," Colossians 2:8. Compare with Paul teaching relating to Christian's tradition; "Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you," 1 Corinthians 11:2. Please view this video from John MacArthur over Christmas.

Now that you know the truth, what are you going to do about it? Christians swim in a pool filled with Satan's lies, and we are drowning in it. We have been lied to, deceived, and manipulated to believe that our faith is strong, yet we are so weak when the trial comes our way. Satan’s lies cause weakness in our faith. To be a pillar, it is to be built on a solid foundation of Jesus's teaching. To discern it is to know the truth. To know more about Satan's lies, please read my article titled "Satan Lies. Is It That Simple To Detect?"

The difference between a pagan holiday and God's appointed festival to the Jews is that God's festivals are full of teachings pertaining to God's plan for man. Pagan holidays are meaningless or are counterfeit to hide God's plan. To understand the meaning of God's festival, I encourage you to read a free online book titled “Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be Done" by Ron Graff and Lambert Dolphin at http://ldolphin.org/kingdom/.

Christmas is not an appointed festival by God. Actually, there is no scripture that supports the observance or that made it mandatory to celebrate Jesus's birthday. Celebrating birthdays is a human tradition. There is absolutely nothing wrong about commemorating someone's birthday. I love it. It is a special day. It is a celebration of our first day of existence. God gives us life, and it should be remembered. The story of the birth of Yahushua was written so that we may remember that God fulfills His promise, which His prophets foretold from one generation to another. To comprehend God's implication to bring this prophecy to pass, I encourage you to listen to this free MP3 bible study by Jack Kelley's title, "Christmas Prophecy" at http://gracethrufaith.com.

Was Jesus Born in December?

Bible scholars agree that Yahushua's birth couldn't have occurred in winter. The shepherds were still out in the field, tending their sheep. Sleeping outdoors all night would have been too cold. It was in the Fall, Autumn. 

If we are to celebrate Jesus's birthday on December 25th, let us celebrate in the truth.

What is celebrating Jesus's birthday in the truth? To know the truth, we must understand the factual truth. We cannot deny the fact that December 25th is a pagan holiday in which Pope Julius 1 in 350 A.D. declared a day to celebrate Christ's birthday. It is what it is. Christians who argue that Christmas Day is all about Yahushua are wrong; it is little about Yahushua’. Anybody who does not consider Christmas as Yahushua's birthday is right. It is two customs observed on the same day. It is what it is. So please, Christians, respect the choice of the secular society. Let us profess our faith, which is Christ's resurrection, and not our day of preference to celebrate Jesus's birthday.

This is for Christians whose desire is to live in the spirit of the Philadelphia church: you have kept Jesus's teaching and have not denied His name. To understand the spirit of the Philadelphia church, please read my commentary titled "The Philadelphia Church" at http://www.simplicityinthegospel.com/2012/12/the-philadelphia-church.html.

Now there are Christians who celebrate both customs. The scripture is specific; “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon," Matthew 6:24, and “If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, he My Father will honour," John 12:26.

Unfortunately, the bad news is that so many Christians (or so-called Christians) live in a lie and teach a lie. The worst part is that they keep saying the same lie year after year and profess that there is nothing wrong with it. What is the lie? Let me give you a hint: “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea,” Matthew 18:6. Who are the little ones that Jesus is talking about?

"These little ones who believe in Me" are children who attend Sunday school and are taught that Jesus is the One who listens to them and that they can trust Him. They are encouraged to know Jesus all year round except on Christmas day. Santa is introduced in their early life just because it always has been so.

There are Christians or so-called Christians with a millstone hung around their necks. Year after year, they have been lying to their children and grandchildren. What is worse yet is that they claim that there is nothing wrong with a little lie.

Lies, lies, Satan lies. Santa is a myth, yet is treated as equal to God. The lyric in "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" describes Santa as such: He sees you when you are sleeping, he knows when you are awake, he knows if you've been bad, are good, so be good for goodness sake. In "Here Comes Santa Claus," it claims that "Santa knows that we're God's little children, that makes everything right."

Is it right to lie? Is it right to lie to little children, especially to children who believe in Yahushua? “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea,” Matthew 18:6

As I mentioned, this commentary is not about celebrating Christmas or not. If you are Christian, it is about celebrating the birth of Christ Yahushua in the truth. Tell your children that the gifts come from mommy and daddy, nanny and poppy, and from Aunt Judy and Uncle Bill. Tell them the truth all year round, especially on Christmas day. Tell them the truth and let go of the millstone hung around your neck.

From Simplicity in the Gospel, which consists of my wife (editor) and I, we pray for the Thy Kingdom Come and that God bless you and your loved ones on Christmas day, forever and beyond. Merry Christmas

Joy To The World

Have You Traded Your Soul? Is It A Done Deal?

Have you sold for power, wealth, an attractive mate, and virtually anything else you ever dreamed of.

It is amazing what I will find on the web now days. Make a google search for "How do you sell your soul to the devil?" and the result is astonishing. There are hundreds of sites!

Have you traded your soul to Satan? Have you signed a contract with Satan? Yes? The truth is... if not saved ... Satan is already your master. So how can Satan buy something that is already his? It is another deception from Satan to have you believe that there is no way out once you traded your soul to him. Satan is a liar and a great deceiver. The truth is that there is a way out. Jesus is the way, John 8:12, John 14:6.

Satan's lie ... "Once sold, your soul belongs to me!"

https://www.facebook.com/TheRighteousWatchmenMinistry

Are you of those in the entertainment industry that has given your souls for the purpose to succeed now in this life? Did you make a pact with Satan to become famous and wealthy? Satan granted your wishes, didn't he? It is easy to recognize you nowadays. You openly show your alliance by displaying a sign of Satan horn with your fingers and one eye gesture. Your lifestyle is all self-centre and self-glorifications. The Bible describes you this way: "But others are selfish and refuse to follow the truth. They follow evil," Romans 2:8. You proudly acknowledge your immoral ways and promote it openly. "These false teachers do whatever they want, and they are so proud of themselves. They are not afraid even to say bad things against the glorious ones," 2 Peter 2:10c.

The sad part is that your influence over our youth causes a moral decline in our society. You proclaimed that there is no absolute, no right and no wrong, and encourage them to live the moment now by following their feeling. The bible portrays you as such: "They are filled with every kind of sin, evil, greed, and hatred. They are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, lying, and thinking the worst things about each other. They gossip and say evil things about each other. They hate God. They are rude, proud, and brag about themselves. They invent ways of doing evil. They don’t obey their parents, they are foolish, they don’t keep their promises, and they show no kindness or mercy to others. They know God’s law says that anyone who lives like that should die. But they not only continue to do these things themselves, but they also encourage others who do them," Romans 1:29-32.

God is giving you fair warning: you have no part of His kingdom. The danger in selling your soul to Satan is that demons influence your every thought and action. You even fall into the risk of being possessed by a demon or a legion of demons. You believed in Satan's slander, that God wronged him. You believe in Satan's accusation, blaming God for the wrong things that is happening in the world. You believed in Satan's theory of evolutions being another imperfect process from God over His creations. You believe you live in the truth, but you are so far from it. Watch: Satanic world? Did they sell their souls to the devil? illuminati

Ever wonder where those distorted sexual desires you are experiencing come from? You were not born with the wrong sex. It came about because you refused the truth and accepted the lies. Please read my commentary title, "Satan Lies. Is It That Simple To Detect?"   In the commentary, I use this analogy to make my point: ‘I was once in an antique store. There was a table that interested me, so I call out to the storekeeper, “what kind of wood is it made out of?”  He replied, “what kind of wood would you like it to be?” Get the point? You listen only to what suits you, and Satan's lies are what attracted you.

You consider yourself above God, therefore, deem insignificant to acknowledge the Truth. Therefore, God left you and allowed you to have your own worthless and worldly philosophy. The Apostle Paul explained it this way: "Because people did those things, God left them and let them do the shameful things they wanted to do. Women stopped having natural sex with men and started having sex with other women. In the same way, men stopped having natural sex with women and began wanting each other all the time. Men did shameful things with other men, and in their bodies, they received the punishment for those wrongs, " Romans 1:26-27. There is the truth in a nutshell; you were not born with the wrong sexual orientation, not at all. You were lied to. You followed your own feeling - the lust of the flesh and believed in Satan's lies.

Deep down in your heart, you feel disgusted about yourself. You may have fame and wealth but apprehensive about your future, eternal future. You finally realized that it is not about this life but the afterlife that is important. It is about where do you wont to spend eternity, in hell or in heaven, with Satan or Jesus. However, since you made a pack with Satan you believe that there is no way out of your contract. Yet there is. This is what Satan doesn't want you to know.  Satan's motto, "They must not believe".

You can still be free from Satan's bond. He lied to you, saying that there is no way out. What he doesn't want you to know is that you are either son of God (saved) or son of disobedience. If not saved when you made a pack with Satan nothing changed, you are still not saved. He made you believe that there is no way out of the agreement. Liar, Satan is a master liar. He will say anything to hide the truth. Read Genesis. Satan deceived the woman then Adam. Satan succeeds to have them believe that God was wrong. The result was that they lost their status as the son of God and received the same fatal destiny as Satan, hell for eternity. The good news is that God promised to make it right again. God promised to send His Son (The Word) to pay for the consequences of our sin so that whoever believes in Him may return to the status of son of God, John 3:16.

The truth is that God created you for a purpose and that is to reign with Jesus for eternity in heaven and here on earth. You were made a little bit lower than angels, with a will to make choices and to grow in the knowledge of God's government (righteousness). The earth was created for mankind as a learning environment. The earth is the centre of God's plan. New age teaches that to ascend to a higher plane of existence, you must grow in knowledge and spiritual awareness. New age teaches that you are your own little gods. What a contrast with God's word. God invites you to become the son of God just by believing in His Son Jesus and accepting Him as your new master and Lord. Becoming the son of God doesn't mean you become like God, it means that you are part of His Family. Inasmuch as a king has many princes, there is only one king: there is only one God with a multitude of sons.

By accepting Jesus, He will automatically break the bond you have with Satan. God has given power and authority over all things to Jesus including Satan and his demons, subdued by Jesus' power His blood at the cross. Now is the time to repent and to believe Jesus. Satan will be mad and angry but will be powerless. You will be sealed with the presence of God's Holy Spirit. Your body will become God's, Holy Temple.

You become one with Jesus and nothing can separate you:

"So what should we say about this? If God is for us, no one can stand against us. And God is with us. He even let his own Son suffer for us. God gave his Son for all of us. So now with Jesus, God will surely give us all things. Who can accuse the people God has chosen? No one! God is the one who makes them right. Who can say that God’s people are guilty? No one! Christ Jesus died for us, but that is not all. He was also raised from death. And now he is at God’s right side, speaking to him for us. Can anything separate us from Christ’s love? Can trouble or problems or persecution separate us from his love? If we have no food or clothes or face danger or even death, will that separate us from his love? As the Scriptures say,

“For you we are in danger of death all the time.

    People think we are worth no more than sheep to be killed.”

But in all these troubles we have complete victory through God, who has shown his love for us. Yes, I am sure that nothing can separate us from God’s love—not death, life, angels, or ruling spirits. I am sure that nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers, nothing above us or nothing below us—nothing in the whole created world—will ever be able to separate us from the love God has shown us in Christ Jesus our Lord," Romans 8:31-39 (ERV).

Satan lied to you even after you traded your soul to him. You always did belong to him, before or after you sold your soul to him. Jesus desire is to break the bond. “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you,” 2 Corinthians 6:17. Any gain and richess you made through Satan's contract must be left behind Accept the invitation because time is short, Jesus return is imminent.  Please watch this video: Satanist Discovers That Jesus Christ Always Renders Satan Powerless!

Mark of the Beast - Satan's seal of belonging.

There will be a time in a near future when a contract made with Satan will be bond in hell and Jesus will not break it. It is when individuals will accept the Mark of the Beast.

"The second beast also forced all people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to have a mark put on their right hand or on their forehead,” Revelation 13:16. "No one could buy or sell without this mark," Revelation 13:17

God is very clear; He will not save those who accept the Mark of the Beast. Whoever accepts the mark will be condemned to eternal hell. Although they have been deceived and tricked by Satan, they were forewarned.

"But the beast was captured, and the false prophet was also captured. He was the one who did the miracles for the beast. He had used these miracles to trick those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its idol. The false prophet and the beast were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur," Revelation 19:20.

“God will punish all those who worship the beast and the beast’s idol and agree to have the beast’s mark on their forehead or on their hand," Revelation 14:9b.

Have you noticed that Satan had used these miracles to trick those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its idol? There is no salvation for those who have been deceived to accept the Mark of the Beast. It is a done deal for trading their soul to Satan.

Unfortunately, there is no coming back for those victims of Satan's deception. They refuse to yield at all the warning given by Christians before the day that they were snatched away by Jesus in the event called the Rapture.

Conclusion

Today is the day you can be free from the bond of Satan, whether you have sold your soul and made a pack with Satan or not. You can be made free. You are saved or not save. The truth is... if not saved ... Satan is already your master. So how can Satan buy something that is already his? It is another deception from Satan to have you believe that there is no way out once you traded your soul to him. Satan is a liar and a great deceiver. The truth is that there is a way out. Jesus is the way, John 8:12, John 14:6.

To be save, all that is required is to believe in the One that God had sent. That One is Jesus. Believe that He died on the cross for your sins, and that on the third days He rose again. Salvation is an act of believing. What does it mean to believe in Jesus Christ? It means, "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved," Romans 10:9. It is about Christ resurrected. It is about believing that He rose from the dead. When you believe in that, you are redeemed, which mean that you are saved and are now part of His Heavenly family. It means that one day you also will rise from the dead, 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 1 Corinthians 15:52. To understand more on the subject of redemption, please read my commentary title, "To become a Christian, that is easy".

Do it, do it now.
