CHRIST-MASS

If you’re being silent about all the blatant hypocrisy in Christianity you are part of the problem, silence is compliance.

Did you know that every English Bible is a heavily translated and significantly diluted Westernized rendition of the rich history and culture of the melanated Hebrew people? Without an open mind, taking an emotional step back, and examining the scriptures from the perspective of the Hebrew people, the conditioned Western mindset can lead to significant misinterpretations of the Hebrew script.

This oversight can lead to the widespread acceptance of false ideologies, incorrect names, erroneous prophets, misleading images, adoption of pagan symbols, customs, and traditions, and misguided approaches to worshipping the Heavenly Father – none of which were ever endorsed by the Creator or had their origins among His people, the Israelites, as described in the Hebrew ToRaH (aka the Old Testament).

Given this, it's not a hidden fact that the New Testament contains numerous significant contradictions to the Old Testament, upon which the Christian faith heavily relies. When we consider that the Ancient Hebrews in the Old Testament were never instructed by YaHuWaH (their mighty one) to establish a religion, worship a demigod savior, or esteem the Creator through pagan customs, in-depth and impartial research uncovers a wealth of compelling evidence that indicates Christianity has no foundational basis.

Through historical research (at the Council of Nicaea), it becomes evident that the pagan Roman Catholic Church gave rise to numerous iterations of their solar and sun-worshipping religion, particularly during the Council of Nicaea (Astrolatry, based on the movement of the sun and stars). Christianity emerged as their most influential variant and continues to hold a prominent position today. This is why historical records show that many other cultures also had multiple gods or saviors, akin to figures like Jesus, who were considered demigods – divine beings with mortal parentage, sound familiar.

This message may not resonate with those who are not committed to living a QaDaSh (set apart) life dedicated to the god of Israel YaHuWaH (the true name of the Creator). However, for those who are ready to surrender everything to the Heavenly Father, this will strongly resonate. It's common for people to unknowingly worship what they do not understand and, in doing so, prioritize human-made traditions over the Creator.

Many individuals willingly compromise for temporary personal satisfaction or to please others, rather than prioritizing their devotion to the One who offers eternal life. When you encounter the true origins of this pagan holiday now called Christmas and recognize it as an abomination in YaHuWaH's eyes, you are facing a test. It's essential to keep in mind that YaHuWaH allows the presence of evil and deception to test and evaluate our devotion to Him and adherence to His commandments.

DaBaRiYM 13:3 “Deuteronomy”

3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for YaHuWaH your God proveth you, to know whether ye love YaHuWaH your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

YaShAYaHuW 45:5-7 “Isaiah”

5 I am YaHuWaH, and there is none else, there is NO God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am YaHuWaH, and there is none else.

7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I YaHuWaH do all these things.

Honestly, the subject or debate over who should take part in Christmas (or any pagan holiday) can really be determined in 5 minutes. It all depends if an individual is trying to live a lifestyle that’s pleasing unto YaHuWaH and in accordance with the Hebraic origins of the scriptures or to please themselves or others OVER the Creator’s desires. Nowhere in the original Hebrew script is it recorded that the Hebrew prophets of old took part in Christmas / Saturnalia. Nowhere in the original Hebrew script does YaHuWaH command the Hebrew people to take part in this wicked sexual custom.

After many years of dedicated unbiased research, the purpose of this information is to be a starting point or stepping stone for everyone beginning their journey down the path of truth. We DON’T claim to know everything but as we make time for YaHuWaH, we grow and will be guided by the Creator. Always do your OWN unbiased research and validate everything EVERYONE says. Deny the urge to react in emotion, but instead, challenge the truth by doing your own unbiased research and finding out the FACTS for yourself. It’s ok to disagree with something, but using one’s opinion or emotion to dispute FACT is futile.

The same premises pertains to the ABaRiY (aka Hebrew) scriptures, and if you attempt to overstand Eastern Hebraic culture using our conditioned, Christian westernized mindset, most will lean toward their OWN understanding because it FEELS right to THEM (MaShaL 3:5-6 “Proverbs”)! When we fail to make time to learn the mind of ABa YaHuWaH (by way of humility, prayer, studying the pure Hebraic scriptural truth, and being willing to unlearn passed down lies) we can unknowingly blaspheme the truth and claim ALuWaH (the “Mighty one” but in English translated to the generic title “God”) is co-signing on OUR opinions and emotions.

So many people say they were told by the Creator to do something, however, those actions do NOT line up with the word. In regards to the Hebrew script, when someone’s opinion is backed by the word, it’s NO LONGER opinion but FACT. If YaHuWaH said or did it in His word (the key being “in His word”), who are we to dispute it (YaShAYaHuW 55:8-13 “Isaiah”)? We know that scripture reminds us that ALL YaHuWaHs works are done in truth so if a person’s actions are NOT reflected in the script, it’s NOT of YaHuWaH but of self (ZaMaR 33:4 “Psalms”). You have to use and explain scripture if you are disagreeing with YaHuWaH’s word and not opinion or emotion.

The scriptures are a Middle Eastern Hebraic book about THEIR culture (NOT European or Latin culture). Their story was then heavily translated by the pagan Roman Catholic Empire into what the world now knows as the bible. These disoriented alterations were done to fit THEIR pagan narrative and THEIR newly created organized religion called Christianity. These decreed pagan ideologies and traditions were then forced on various Roman conquered races establishing THEIR religion as a worldwide superpower. This perpetuated illusory truth effect subliminal brainwashing has ultimately deceived the whole world into falling in love with a lie.

This is why when you make time to do unbiased study and research on the bible, the FACTS reveal that several English words used throughout the bible have pagan connotations to various gods (theLORD, God, Christ, Jesus, glory just to name a few). This makes perfect sense since we know the Roman Catholic Empire was a polycystic race of people. It DOESN’T take a quantum physicist to understand that when words (or names) are translated from one language to another, things get lost and things are added. The Scriptures have been translated (not transliterated which is the casing of sound) from the ABaRiY (aka Hebrew) language into English, thus the pure meaning behind the Hebrew words and names has been totally erased. This is a violation the scripture clearly warns against and rightfully so. Altering the history of a race of people now removes the truth and adds in lies (DaBaRiYM 4:2, 12:32, “Deuteronomy” and MaShaL 30:5-6 “Proverbs”). Just because people live in America and speak English (or live in any other part of the world and speak different languages) DOES NOT give people a right to discard, alter or disrespect a Hebraic nation’s original cultural history (or any cultural history at that).

The Hebrew script reminds us in MaShaL 4:7 (Proverbs) that we must FIRST get an understanding (make time to research both sides of any story) and that a fool has no interest in understanding; they only want to hear their own opinions come out of other peoples mouth (MaShaL 18:2-3 “Proverb”). The highest form of ignorance is rejecting or responding to information you have absolutely NO knowledge about in emotion. The script gives wisdom on making quick emotional responses, and this also pertains to information that may seem unpopular to the masses or that you DON’T personally agree with.

Scriptures remind us that is it foolish to respond to a matter without FULLY hearing (MaShaL 18:12-15 “Proverbs”). Choosing to put a puzzle together without having all pieces would be unwise, why? Because it yields incorrect perceptions of what that puzzle is REALLY supposed to look like. DON’T let ignorance, jealousy, or pride be the death of your RuWaCh (spirit) because you chose to reject truth due to emotion or passed down traditions of men (the pagan Roman Catholic / Christian church system) by way of your fathers, fathers (who were also mislead). Our duty as the elect of YaHuWaH is to share the truth, NOT make people believe it. We DON’T want you to think like us, we just want you to think!

Once we are given the truth do we then choose to validate the info and make the necessary changes, or continue having pleasure in OUR unrighteousness? Since we know the origins of the scriptures are a book about the Hebrew people, their culture, and their god YaHuWaH, the FACTS prove that Christmas NEVER originated from the Hebrews. NOWHERE in the scriptures is the spirit of Christmas, and NEVER do we read where the Hebrews are instructed by YaHuWaH to take part in this pagan event.

JESUS IS THE REASON

Christians consistently advocate for the importance of "Keeping Christ in Christmas" and encourage avoiding the abbreviation "XMas," emphasizing that Jesus is the true reason for the Christmas season. Despite this emotionally satisfying phrase, there is a recurring oversight among Christians as they neglect to pause and delve into the reasons behind their traditions.

The positive feelings associated with celebrating Christmas can be attributed to various factors:

1. Traditions and Rituals: Christmas often involves engaging in familiar and comforting traditions, such as decorating a tree, exchanging gifts, and sharing meals with loved ones. These rituals can create a sense of continuity, connection, and joy.

2. Community and Togetherness: Christmas is a time when people come together with family and friends. The sense of community, shared experiences, and togetherness contribute to feelings of warmth and happiness.

3. Giving and Receiving: The act of giving and receiving gifts can evoke feelings of joy and generosity. It's a time when people express love and appreciation for one another through thoughtful gestures.

4. Decorations and Lights: The festive decorations, colorful lights, and overall festive atmosphere can have a positive impact on mood. The visual elements associated with Christmas often create a sense of wonder and delight.

5. Nostalgia: Many people have fond memories of past Christmases, especially from childhood. Nostalgia can evoke positive emotions, making the holiday season feel special and comforting.

6. Cultural and Social Influences: Cultural and societal influences play a significant role. Media, including movies, music, and advertisements, often portray Christmas as a magical and joyful time, influencing how individuals perceive and experience the holiday.

7. Spiritual Significance: For those who celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday, the spiritual significance and the story of the birth of Jesus Christ can contribute to a sense of meaning and joy.

8. End of Year Reflection: Christmas falls at the end of the year, providing an opportunity for reflection, gratitude, and celebration of accomplishments. It's a time to unwind, enjoy the company of loved ones, and look forward to the possibilities of a new year.

Christians universally acknowledge the Hebrew ToRaH as the divine and sacred instructions from the Creator and God of Israel, considering it their foundational text. However, Christianity also asserts that the New Testament, through the sacrificial death of Jesus, fulfills the prophecies in the Hebrew ToRaH, leading them to view the Old Testament commandments from the Creator as no longer valid.

The Hebrew ToRaH is the foundational text of the Israelites (not Christianity) and predates the development of many Christian traditions, ways of worship, and the celebration of Christmas. The Hebrew ToRaH never commanded the Hebrew Israelites to create a religion or that they needed to be part of a religion to receive forgiveness, salvation, or deliverance. The concept of "Keeping Christ in Christmas" is not rooted in the ToRaH, as it is a Christian expression related to the celebration of the birth of their New Testament savior Jesus Christ.

In the Old Testament, the focus for the Hebrews is on observing the commandments outlined in their ToRaH, and maintaining obedience and integrity unto their mighty one YaHuWaH. While Christians may seek to emphasize the spiritual aspects of Christmas through expressions like "Keeping Christ in Christmas," such concepts were never a part of the Hebrew lifestyle or mentioned in the Hebrew ToRaH.

Individuals from different religious traditions approach celebrations based on their respective beliefs, interpretations, and practices. For Christians, keeping Christ in Christmas involves religious services, nativity scenes, prayer, and reflections on the biblical narrative of Jesus' birth.

The historical evidence

The historical evidence for Jesus Christ being born on December 25th is limited, and the choice of this date for celebrating Christmas is more rooted in Christian tradition and theological considerations than in specific historical facts. Several factors contributed to the selection of December 25th as the date for Christmas:

1. Christian Tradition: By the 4th century, December 25th had become widely accepted within the Christian tradition as the date for celebrating the birth of Jesus. Early Christian leaders and theologians, including Augustine and John Chrysostom, supported this date.

2. Winter Solstice: December 25th falls around the time of the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, symbolizing the return of light and the lengthening of days. Early Christians chose this time to coincide with existing pagan festivals that celebrated the renewal of light.

3. Calculation of Jesus' Conception: Some early Christians believed that Jesus' conception and crucifixion occurred on the same day, March 25th. According to this belief, counting nine months forward from March 25th would place Jesus' birth on December 25th.

It's essential to note that both the Hebrew ToRaH and the Christian New Testament do not mention or specify the exact date of Jesus' birth. The Gospel accounts of Matthew and Luke provide details about the events surrounding Jesus' birth but do not offer a specific calendar date.

In summary, the choice of December 25th for Christmas is more a result of early Christian tradition, interpretation, and theological considerations than a direct result of historical evidence pinpointing Jesus' actual birth date. The celebration of Christmas on December 25th has persisted for centuries, and it remains a central date in the Christian liturgical calendar. However, the ToRaH never records the god of the Hebrews commanding the Israelites to celebrate the birth of a coming Christian New Testament savior, or anyone else for that matter.

Furthermore, the Hebrew ToRaH does not specifically address the celebration of birthdays. The concept of celebrating birthdays is not a prominent theme in the ToRaH, and there is no direct commandment or prohibition regarding birthday celebrations. Birthdays are mentioned in a few instances, such as the Pharaoh's birthday in Genesis 40:20 and Herod's birthday in Matthew 14:6 (in the Christian New Testament). However, these instances are descriptive rather than prescriptive, and they do not provide guidelines for celebrating birthdays.

Given that Christians are taught that Christmas and December 25th commemorate the birth of a New Testament messiah, even though historical evidence challenges this notion, what prompts the continued observance of this tradition? If historical evidence demonstrates that Christ's birth did not occur on December 25th, asserting otherwise would be a lie. If spreading false rumors like “Santa is real”, and that “Jesus is the reason for the season” is not true, is that not the core principles of scripture?

Both the Hebrew ToRaH and the Christian New Testament emphasize the importance of truthfulness and prohibit spreading false rumors or bearing false witness.

Exodus 20:16

16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Leviticus 19:11

11 You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another.

ZaMaR 101:7 “Psalms”

7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

MaShaL 6:16-19 “Proverbs “

16 These six things doth YaHuWaH HATE: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, A LYING TONGUE, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in RUNNING TO MISCHIEF,

19 A false witness that SPEAKETH LIES, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

In the Christian New Testament, there are teachings that emphasize truthfulness and warn against spreading false information or rumors.

James 3:5-6

5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

This Christian New Testament passage underscores the power of words and the potential harm caused by untruthful speech. Christians are encouraged to use their words wisely, avoiding falsehoods and gossip.

Ephesians 4:25

25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

These teachings align with the broader biblical principles of honesty, integrity, and love for one's neighbor, emphasizing the importance of truthful communication in Christian ethics. Yet despite their New Testament teachings, Christians support Santa Claus (a fictional figure), spread false rumors, and engage in customs and traditions that aren't supported in their New Testament.

The phrase "Jesus is the reason for the season" is often used by Christians to justify celebrating Christmas, and it attributes it to the birth of their New Testament savior Jesus Christ. While the specific origin of this saying is challenging to trace, it has become a popular slogan among Christians amid the various secular and commercial aspects of the holiday.

The phrase reflects a sentiment that encourages Christians to focus on the biblical narrative of Jesus' birth as found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke when celebrating Christmas. It has been widely adopted in Christian circles as a reminder to keep Christ at the center of the festivities during the Christmas season. However, it's important to note that the Hebrew ToRaH, which Christians agree is their sacred foundation, doesn't address the celebration of Christmas or the theological significance attributed to Jesus in Christian doctrine.

The Hebrew ToRaH’s primary focus is on Israel keeping YaHuWaH’s commandments, and the historical narratives and lifestyle of the Hebrew Israelites (NOT Christianity). The concept of Jesus as the central figure in Christmas is a Christian invention and tradition that falls outside the scope of the Hebrew ToRaH.

While the sentiment “Jesus is the reason for the season” resonates with Christian beliefs and fulfills the emotional desire to celebrate Christmas, it lacks relevance or endorsement of the Hebrew ToRaH (which Christians agree is the foundation for their religion). The ToRaH serves as the instructions and guidance for the chosen people of the God of Israel, the Hebrew Israelites.

XMAS

The use of "Xmas" as an abbreviation for Christmas has a long history, and its origin can be traced back to the medieval period. The "X" in "Xmas" represents the Greek letter "Chi," which is the first letter in the Greek word for Christ (Χριστός or Christos). This abbreviation has been used for centuries as a shorthand way of referring to Christmas.

The practice of using "X" as an abbreviation for Christ dates back to the early Christian church, where it became a common symbol. In medieval manuscripts, scribes often used "X" as an abbreviation for "Christ" or "Christian." Over time, this practice extended to the word "Christmas," and "Xmas" emerged as a written abbreviation.

Despite its historical and religious significance, some people have expressed concern that using "Xmas" might be perceived as a secular or commercial abbreviation that omits the name of Christ. However, it's important to recognize that the use of "Xmas" has a deep historical connection to Christian tradition and is not necessarily intended to diminish the religious aspects of Christmas.

America is a nation where individuals have the freedom to express their opinions and practice any religion without the fear of ridicule, promoting the idea of equal rights and personal liberty. Despite these ideals, there is a common assumption among Americans that everyone in the country celebrates various holidays and experiences joy during the seasonal times.

It's important to recognize that individual experiences may vary, and not everyone may feel the same level of joy during the holiday season. Factors such as personal circumstances, cultural background, and individual preferences can influence how people perceive and experience Christmas.

- SPIRITUAL ADULTERY -

We ALL have been conditioned by tradition and we often believe and do things that we don’t understand. Don't let your ignorance, arrogance, religion, traditions, or family stop you from learning the truth! It’s time people STOP cheating on the Heavenly Father and begin being faithful to him! All evil needs to prevail is for a good person to do nothing!

Due to their lack of knowledge (because of church), Christians proudly say that "Jesus is the reason for the season" and YES their right. The Latin/European created lie "Jesus" IS the reason for this deceptive, and perverted season. There are only two reasons why a person proudly defends the lie 1) they are ignorant to the fact that this holiday is spiritual adultery unto the Creator and 2) they want to justify what they want to do so they can follow the masses (not be persecuted for the truth). If we say we follow scripture, that is what we must do, NOT lean on our own understanding. When we choose to obey and acknowledge “YaHuWaH” the Creator” (NOT the LORD or god), His word WILL direct our path. Any other way is NOT by YaHuWaH’s order, but by carnal selfishness and disobedience.

MaShaL 3:5-6 “Proverbs”

5 Trust in YHWH with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

As children, we embraced a narrative that we now recognize as a deception. As adults, we possess the ability to think independently, conduct research, and make informed choices, placing the Creator YaHuWaH above all. Let us cease engaging in spiritual adultery and embrace loyalty, as commanded in the Hebrew ToRaH.

YaHuWShuWA 24:14-15 “Joshua” Hebrew Bible

The Hebrew Bible instructs that we serve YaHuWaH (the Creator of everything) with undivided loyalty. However Christian theology (John 3:16) forces you to divide your loyalty and give some esteem/worship and loyalty to a salvific demigod FIRST before you get to the Heavenly Father. The masses do the opposite and worship the Creator by way of physical traditions of men and through a created image of a demigod named Jesus (AKA Yeshuwa/YaHaWaShi/YaHuWShuWA/YaHShA/YaHuShA, etc. depending on what sect your follow). We are given concrete proof every year by people’s actions as they continue to follow the earthly pagan traditions of men. People DON'T want to hear the truth because they DON'T want their illusions destroyed.

For those who are NOT trying to live a set-apart life unto the Creator, this will NOT pertain to you, but for those who are WILLING to be obedient unto the Heavenly Father YaHuWaH, this WILL hit home (DaBaRiYM 4:40 “Deuteronomy”). If it’s NOT commanded in the Hebrew Old Testament by the Creator, then we should NOT be adding it in.

We are commanded by YaHuWaH NOT to believe every spirit but to test it to see if they are of Him or not. So many Christians disregard this commandment and defend the non-Hebrew scriptural traditions of men, ie Christmas. People choose to believe in the spirit of Christmas over the truth in the Hebrew script. People choose to worship the Creator by way of pagan customs and still believe He accepts their praises.

YaHuWaH commands the Hebrews to destroy all pagan alters

DaBaRiYM 12:3-4 “Deuteronomy”

3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves (due to tree worship) with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their ALuWHiYM's, and destroy the NAMES of them out of that place. 

4 Ye shall NOT do so unto YaHuWaH your ALuWaH.

YaShAYaHuW 10:2 “Jeremiah”

2 Thus saith YaHuWaH, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

YaHuWaH warns the Hebrews regarding their abominable pagan practices

Leviticus 18

27 For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)

28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.

29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am YaHuWaH your ALuWaH.

When and where did the keeping of Christmas begin? 

Taken from the book

Christmas In Ritual and Tradition, Christian and Pagan

by Clement A. Miles

Published by
T. Fisher Unwin
1912

When and where did the keeping of Christmas begin? Many details of its early history remain in uncertainty, but it is fairly clear that the earliest celebration of the Birth of Christ on December 25 took place in Rome about the middle of the fourth century, and that the observance of the day spread from the western to the eastern Church, which had before been wont to keep January 6 as a joint commemoration of the Nativity and the Baptism of the Redeemer.

The first mention of a Nativity feast on December 25 is found in a Roman document known as the Philocalian Calendar, dating from the year 354, but embodying an older document evidently belonging to the year 336. It is uncertain to which date the Nativity reference belongs, but further back than 336 at all events the festival cannot be traced. n the East, as has been seen, the Birth of the Redeemer was at first celebrated not on December 25, but on January 6, the feast of the Epiphany or manifestation of Christ's glory. The Epiphany can be traced as far back as the second century, among the Basilidian heretics, from whom it may have spread to the Catholic Church. It was with them certainly a feast of the Baptism, and possibly also of the Nativity, of Christ. The origins of the Epiphany festival are very obscure, nor can we say with certainty what was its meaning at first. It may be that it took the place of a heathen rite celebrating the birth of the World or Æon from the Virgin on January 6. At all events, one of its objects was to commemorate the Baptism, the appearance of the Holy Dove, and the Voice from heaven, “Thou art my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased” (or, as other MSS. read, “This day have I begotten thee”).

In some circles of early Christianity, the Baptism appears to have been looked upon as the true Birth of Christ, the moment when filled by the Spirit, He became Son of God, and the carnal Birth was regarded as of comparatively little significance. Hence the Baptism festival may have arisen first, and the celebration of the Birth at Bethlehem may have been later attached to the same day, partly perhaps because a passage in St. Luke's Gospel was supposed to imply that Jesus was baptized on His thirtieth birthday. As however the orthodox belief became more sharply defined, increasing stress was laid on the Incarnation of God in Christ in the Virgin's womb, and it may have been felt that the celebration of the Birth and the Baptism on the same day encouraged heretical views.

Hence very likely the introduction of Christmas on December 25 as a festival of Birth alone. In the East, the concelebration of the two events continued for some time after Rome had instituted the separate feast of Christmas. Gradually, however, the Roman use spread: at Constantinople, it was introduced about 380 by the great theologian, Gregory Nazianzen; at Antioch, it appeared in 388, at Alexandria in 432. The Church of Jerusalem long stood out, refusing to adopt the new feast till the seventh century, it would seem. One important Church, the Armenian, knows nothing of December 25, and still celebrates the Nativity with the Epiphany on January 6. Epiphany in the Eastern Orthodox Church has lost its connection with the Nativity and is now chiefly a celebration of the Baptism of Christ, while in the West, as everyone knows, it is primarily a celebration of the Adoration by the Magi, an event commemorated by the Greeks on Christmas Day. Epiphany is, however, as we shall see, a greater festival in the Greek Church than Christmas.

Why we may ask, did the Church choose December 25 for the celebration of her Founder's Birth? No one now imagines that the date is supported by a reliable tradition; it is only one of the various guesses of early Christian writers. As a learned eighteenth-century Jesuit pointed out, there is not a single month in the year to which the Nativity has not been assigned by some writer or other. The real reason for the choice of the day most probably was, that upon it fell the pagan festival just mentioned.

The Philocalian Calendar is yet another historical FACT that proves the celebration and keeping of Christmas goes back to the pagan Roman empire and NOT the melanated ABaRiY (AKA Hebrew) people of the scriptures. If it’s NOT in the scriptures (or part of the Hebrew culture) people best NOT add or remove from it! For those of us who take salvation seriously, have made time to study, and who love YaHuWaH fully we overstand how the Creator feels about tampering with His word!

DaBaRiYM 4:2

2 Ye shall NOT ADD unto the word which I command you, neith

er shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of YHWH your ALiWHiYM which I command you.

DaBaRiYM 12:31

31 Thou shalt not do so unto YHWH thy ALuWHiYM: for every abomination to YHWH, which he hateth, have they done unto their ALuWHiYM's; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their ALuWHiYM's.

MaShaL 30:5-6 “Proverbs”

5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

NOWHERE in the Hebrew TaNaKh does it mention Santa Clause coming, but it most definitely DOES say that an anointed branch of Jesse will usher a messianic age (YaShAYaHuW 4:1-2, 11:1-16 “Isaiah”, YaRaMiYaHuW 23:5-6 “Jeremiah”, ZaChaRiYaHuW 6:11-13 “Zechariah”).

WHO’S HEART IS IT REALLY ABOUT?

Whos heart is it REALLY about, ours or the Creator YaHuWaH?

Breaking down the truth about Christmas

Even back in the 50s, the truth was known about the vile pagan origins of Christmas. What does a tree, and Santa have to do with the branch of Jesse?

YaChaZaQAL 16:21-22 “Ezekiel”

21 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?

22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.

YiRSAL’s (the children of Israel) idolatry went so far that they actually participated in the Canaanite cult of child sacrifice. Even King Ahaz (2 Kings 16:3) and King Manasseh (2 Kings 21:6) took part in this horrific practice. The pagan god (or, demon, more accurately) Molech (H4432) was worshipped by heating a metal statue representing the god until it was red hot, then placing a living infant or child on the outstretched hands of the statue while beating drums drowned out the screams of the child until it burned to death. Today in our modern time parents aren’t physically sacrificing their children when it comes to all these factual pagan holidays, but they most definitely are spiritually!

A parent who knows the truth and yet still encourages a young, innocent, and ignorantly minded child to take part in these wicked traditions of deity worship by the Romans/Catholics is aiding and abetting disobedience. Scripture reminds us that the man is the head of the home (NOT the other way around), so the spiritual responsibility falls on the man.

Remember the story of AChaN (H5912), he disobeyed YaHuWaH, and because he was the head of his home AChaN, his wife, and ALL his children were stoned to death (YaHuWShuWA 7:19-26 “Joshua”). So to ALL the men of your homes, you are responsible unto YaHuWaH for your entire family! Now that we know the Creator YaHuWaH is jealous and HATES these spiritually adulterated holidays, IF we love the Creator we WILL STOP taking part in traditions that the Hebrews (the true people of the book) NEVER did!

Christmas "its historical pagan origins"

We all can remember Christmas as little kids, going to bed early and even sleeping by or under the Christmas tree in excitement and anticipation of opening gifts! Now that we are older, can think for ourselves, and have come to the knowledge of the truth, we realize the masses have yet again fallen in love with another lie! For us who walk in the truth, we know that we CAN NOT walk with the Creator YaHuWaH while holding the hand of the devil. In today’s modern time, NO longer is Christmas even about the lie (Jesus was born) but has become all about the traditions of men i.e. the spirit of Christmas, its an American holiday, lights, family, parties, presents, and elaborate feasts. The untold truth (which is NOT taught in church or by your pastor) is that the Puritans in New England rejected virtually ALL of what we (people in the Americas) now know as Christmas celebrations. The origins of Christmas (saturnalia a pagan Roman festival, etym def) were so perverted and vial that they rejected this pagan holiday with the force of law behind it. Government offices and courts were open on Christmas Day, and ALL holiday revelry was either severely frowned upon or outright banned!

This is the real history of some of the earliest Christmases in America, and nothing these days even comes close. As time went by, however, the popularity of Christmas grew. After all, it is a fun holiday with plenty of fine traditions reaching back into the mists of pagan Christianity. In fact, this is part of what upset the Puritans, the Christmas traditions were stolen directly from the pagans. The Christmas tree, the Yule log, wreaths, candles, the very date itself (which used to fall on the Winter Solstice, long before the Gregorian calendar was adopted), gift-giving, holiday cards in verse, wassailing (or just plain getting drunk with holiday cheer), holly, mistletoe, kissing under the mistletoe, the “12 days” of Christmas, eating a feast, even hooking up at the office party — NONE of these had anything to do with the truth of the ABaRiY / Hebrew people. All were pagan winter holiday rituals without a shred of connection to the coming branch of Jesse whatsoever. Let us take a look at historical and biblical FACTS regarding Christmas! 

 The NCJRS

Satanists celebrate Christmas because it’s their holiday

Established in 1972, the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) is a federally funded resource offering justice and drug-related information to support research, policy, and program development worldwide. NCJRS services and resources are available to anyone interested in crime, victim assistance, and public safety including policymakers, practitioners, researchers, educators, community leaders, and the general public.

NCJRS hosts one of the largest criminal and juvenile justice libraries and databases in the world, the NCJRS Abstracts Database. The collection, withholdings from the early 1970s to the present, contains more than 210,000 publications, reports, articles, and audiovisual products from the United States and around the world. These resources include Federal, state, and local government reports, books, research reports, journal articles, and unpublished research. On their website, you will find a document that shows just how important Samhain or Halloween is to Satanic cults.

On page 17 of the santanic document you will find that Christmas is the fourth highest Santaic holiday.

Furthermore, on pages 26 and 27 it goes on to tell us what type of sacrificial ceremonies take place during Christmas. Animal, human, oral, anal, and vaginal sacrifices are all held during this season.

Unbiased historical research teaches us that satanism goes all the way back to the ancient days. This government document is more proof that the Christmas origins are NOT about how people claim it’s celebrated today. Gift-giving/receiving, Santa Claus, Jesus Christ, and family fun were not the origins, however, blood sacrifices, occult rituals, and communication with the dead or necromancing most definitely were.

Just know that when the Christmas season comes around somewhere in the world animals, children, and adults are being killed or sacrificed. All these satanic events happen year after year, and people have the boldness to say they celebrate Christmas because of how it’s been changed and celebrated today in modern times.

YaShAYaHuW 30:9-10 “Isaiah”

9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of YaHuWaH:

10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

We know human sacrifice has always been an abomination in YaHuWaHs eyes (YaRaMiYaHuW 19:4-6, 32:35 “Jeremiah”, BaT MaLaKiYM 16:1-4 “2 Kings”, YaChaZaQAL 23:36-40 “Ezekiel”, DaBaRiYM 18:9-12 “Deuteronomy”, LuWiYM 18:21, 20:1-7 “Leviticus”, ZaMaR 106:34-41 ”Psalm”, MaShaL 6:16-19 “Proverbs”).

ETYMOLOGY, the origin of words

We see that the word "Holiday" is yet again a modern word with religious connotations. Prior to that, the melanated Hebrew people never would have used the word "Holiday" but rather QaDaSh (H6942) meaning "set apart". Why didn't the chosen people of YaHuWaH use that type of word? It’s because they didn't have a religion, for them living in the truth and honoring YaHuWaH was their way of life and culture.

Cults and false worship have always existed, but organized religion didn't come onto the scene until 325AD. This is when the Emperor of Rome Constantine (who practiced paganism openly) decreed ALL worship come together under one banner, hence the organized, pagan religion of Christianity.

WORD ORIGINS ETYMOLOGY

The etymology of Christmas stems from the mid-14c Old English word of Crīstesmæsse (NOT Hebrew culture), which literally means” Christ-mass”.  Christmas is derived from the Middle English Cristemasse, which is from Old English Crīstesmæsse, a phrase first recorded in 1038. Crīst (genitive Crīstes) is from Greek Khrīstos, a translation of Hebrew Māšîaḥ, “Messiah”; and mæsse is from Latin missa, the celebration of the Eucharist.

The form “Christenmas” was also historically used, but is now considered archaic and dialectal; it derives from Middle English Cristenmasse, literally “Christian mass”. “Xmas” is an abbreviation of Christmas found particularly in print, based on the initial letter chi (Χ) in Greek Khrīstos (Χριστός), “Christ”, though numerous style guides discourage its use; it has precedent in Middle English Χρ̄es masse (where “Χρ̄” is an abbreviation for Χριστός).

HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Even in modern-day high school, they are exposing the truth about Christmas, but parents love the lie more than their kids so they keep perpetuating it.

The 12 Days of Christmas Song / Partying

You may have heard of the song "12 Days of Christmas" but its origins came from the 12 days of Yuletide which began at sunset on December 20, known as Mother Night, and ended on the night of December 31, the Night of the Oak King and the Roman day of Hecate. The pagans celebrated midvinterblot" or winter solstice or Yuletide (like the Yule log) simply means "mid-winter-blood", and featured both animal and human sacrifice. There is no coincidence that the true Twelfth Night is now celebrated as New Year’s Eve and with the same old revelry as when it was known as Twelfth Night. Typically, the Christians changed the date to January 6 in hopes of doing away with the Pagan revels of the night, but this ploy obviously failed. The 12 days of Yuletide have some old Pagan commemoration which is celebrated on them: 21–nativity of the SUN God and the God of the waxing year, Horus and a number of others.

"Saturnalia" 

The origins of Christmas predate Christianity through the Pagan holiday called Saturnalia (Etymology def), which was a week-long of lawless merrymaking (being merry) from December 17th - 25th that honored Saturn and included human sacrifice, intoxication, naked caroling, sex, and rape. During these seven days, there were NO punishments for breaking any laws, according to Roman law. It’s very interesting that the movie "The Purge" has 12 hours of complete lawlessness and 12 is also the number of days originally for the pagan tradition of yuletide "Norse mythology".

This all makes perfect sense since unbiased research uncovers that the Romans were a polytheistic nation. In the year 4 A.D., Christianity (which at its core is the Roman pagan religion) adopted Saturnalia with the hopes that they could convert other Pagans into Christianity by promising that they could still celebrate Saturnalia. Because Saturnalia did not follow the principles of the newly created pagan religion of Christianity, the Christian leaders decreed that the last day of Saturnalia be the birth date of their false savior "Jesus".

Historical FACT:

“Because of the sexual perverted origins of Christmas (Saturnalia), the Puritans banned this holiday and between 1659 and 1681, Christmas was illegal in Massachusetts.”

In 1466, the Roman Catholic Church, under Pope Paul II, forced Jews to run through the city naked as a tribute to Saturnalia. According to author David I. Kertzer, The Popes Against the Jews: The Vatican’s Role in the Rise of Modern Anti-Semitism, “Before they were to run, the Jews were richly fed, so as to make the race more difficult for them and at the same time more amusing for spectators. They ran amid Rome’s taunting shrieks and peals of laughter, while the Holy Father stood upon a richly ornamented balcony and laughed heartily.”

It is important to note that in Astrotheology, Saturn (Saturday) is ShaTaN. The rings we give during a wedding ritual represent the rings of Saturn. The word Saturday originates from the Old English word that means “Saturn’s day”. To this day, many people continue to unknowingly celebrate Saturnalia through their participation in debauchery and gluttony.

The Pagan Tree

For those who have been told that the Christmas tree is NOT Pagan, lets read what YaHuWaH’s word says about the Christmas tree. When you make the topic of the Christmas tree about self, your children, family or spouse (and NOT YaHuWaH), you will ALWAYS have a problem with the truth.

It’s interesting that those who choose NOT to take part in these socially accepted holiday deceptions are called a scrooge. In this video ACh Rob (WYES LYFE) discusses why those who profess they are in the truth, should not be wrapped up in various vain traditions, pagan holidays, and worldly philosophies. ABa YaHuWaH wants HIS elect to be free of idol worship and pagan arts. Choosing to follow what we NOW KNOW YaHuWaH HATES is sin.

It's NOT All Happy

Against popular belief, the Helidays are NOT all happy for a lot of people. Just because the masses overpromote this temporal false sense of joy and peace, does NOT mean it is true! We who are in the truth have NO desire to take part in a counterfeit, why? Because we have the real thing, that lasts ALL year-round, the ShaLuWM of YaHuWaH.

Christmas BANNED in America!

 People who are uneducated regarding the origins of Christmas love to say that this wicked holiday is an American holiday, but once again historical evidence bares a different record. We have to understand that the masses have fallen in love with the lie and that most want to justify what they want to do. Christians defend this holiday by saying “Let’s take back Christmas”. However, People can’t take back Christmas if it was already their pagan holiday and never left.

YaHuWaH clearly states in HuWShuWA 11:1 (Hosea) and ShaMuWTh 4:22 (Exodus) that YiSRAL (Israel) is His son and first born (NOT the European Jesus). According to the Hebrew TaNaKh (YaRaMiYaHuW 23:5-6 “Jeremiah”, ZaChaRiYaHuW 6:11-13 “Zechariah, and YaShAYaHuW 4:1-2 “Isaiah”), we konw that one day out of YiSRAL a person from the branch of Jesse (YaShAYaHuW 11:1-16 “Isaiah”) will rise up and bring peace to not only Israel but the entire world (NOT like the Christian so-called rapture or European / Latin Jesus). The son of the Creator in its proper context is the nation of YiSRAL, and not a European demigod who is worshiped worldwide (via images and statues). This is in perfect alignment with what YaHuWaH said in His word regarding NOT being a man that He should lie (MaSPaR 23:19 "Numbers'').

The Creator makes it very clear that we are to have NO ONE above Him, NO images, NO pagan symbols or statues of any likeness to worship or to bow unto. YaHuWaH is Jealous, and His esteem He will give to NO OTHER god (ShaMuWTh 20:3 “Exodus", YaShAYaHuW 43:10-11, 48:2, 49:26 "Isaiah“), this includes the European demigod Jesus. YaHuWaH also states that there is NO ALuWaH (mighty one, however, translated to “god” in all English translated bibles) before Him, neither shall there be after Him. The Creator goes on to establish that He is the savior, and redeemer and that NO ONE is beside him (in which the unknown writers of the Christian New Testament try to contradict, Luke 22:69, Acts 2:33, 1 Peter 3:22, Colossians 3:1, and Romans 8:34).

The Hebrew ToRaH bears record that YaHuWaH ALuWaH ALONE has and will continue saving mankind way before this so-called European savor Jesus. The ToRaH records that the Hebrews of old asked ABa YaHuWaH for the forgiveness of sin. The pagan religion of sun god worship (Catholicism) uses the need for a man as a go-between you and God. The premise of needing salvation from a so-called high priest comes from the Roman Catholics church’s organized religion of Christianity (Hebrews 4:14-16). This forces mankind to worship, elevate, bow down to and reverence a European man before, the Creator YaHuWaH.

We realize that the majority of people DON'T celebrate these holidays today because of their sexual perverted roots (we were those types). We know the majority of people DON'T go around having open sex with their parents, brothers, sisters, or family members, rape young women, have drunken orgies, or throw infants into fires as a sacrifice unto BaAL, and all during the 12 days leading up to Christ-mass. NO, but we also realize the churches and pastors DON'T and WON'T expose the lies and choose disobedience because they have fallen in LOVE with celebrating these pagan holidays. Many people justify CHRIST-MASS saying its an American holiday, time for family, gift-giving, goodwill toward all men, Santa, ELF'S that make toys, yule logs, mistletoe, wreaths, and Christmas trees with pretty lights, but REAL historical research proves that Christmas was originally NOT about that at all, and it was in fact BANNED in America in the 1600s.

The people back then still had morels and did NOT want the masses to have full liberty to commit carnal, sexual, vile, and innocent bloodshed happening in America, but the devil (through the wicked/selfish minds of men) had people compromise to their lust and NOW Christ-mass has been celebrated ever since. The reason the masses say it’s an American holiday or that it’s really about spending time with family is because this is how THEY justify committing spiritual adultery. Easter and Christ-mass ALL bring BIG crowds to the churches which means BIG offerings and money into the pastor’s pockets. Historical research teaches us that the early Christian churches were having a hard time bringing people in the doors, SO they came up with the idea of having Easter / Ishtar / Astarte and Christ-mass plays to draw in more people in hopes of converting them into Christianity. Christian churches STILL carry out these traditions today by having Christ-mass / EASTER (Ishtar) plays, pastor’s appreciation day, men's / women's day, musicals, revivals, retreats, guest speakers, etc. All these church traditions are just man/women flesh worship and were ALL created to draw more people into Christianity in hopes that they people become religiously faithful, tithe-giving members.

 "Christ-mass banned in 1644, offenders caught celebrating this vile Satanical practice will be fined 5 shillings". One shilling back then would be about $7 dollars today, but back then an average family could get by on $10 a week. So if they were to get fined 5 shillings, that's $35 dollars or roughly a month’s worth of pay. If this law was implemented today, would people be willing to pay a month’s worth of their wages to celebrate this satanic day? 

 YaShAYaHuW 30:9-10 "Isaiah"

9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of YHWH:

10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits

Have people overlooked the fact that every action we take is meticulously recorded in a divine book? Scripture provides numerous examples of individuals who reject the Creator and face consequences for their disobedience. While these consequences may not manifest immediately, YaHuWaH's word never fails to come to fruition. Many fail to grasp the reality that there are genuine repercussions for disobeying the Creator. While YaHuWaH's love for Israel is unconditional, His favor and blessings are contingent upon adherence to His covenant. To receive His favor, we must uphold our end of the covenant and obey His commands, prioritizing His desires over our own.

The truth remains unchanged: regardless of one's intentions, participating in pagan holidays is unacceptable in the eyes of YaHuWaH. Many pastors invoke the "intent of the heart" argument, but this justification lacks scriptural support. The scriptures instead emphasize that when we truly receive the RuWaCh (Spirit), YaHuWaH grants us a new heart aligned with His desires, not our own. Therefore, if one still finds pleasure in observing these wicked holidays, it raises doubts about whether they have truly received the set-apart RuWaCh. YaHuWaH explicitly states His detestation for pagan traditions and worship, deeming them perpetual spiritual adultery, irrespective of one's heart's intentions.

ITS ALL ABOUT "MY" HEART

30 DAY TRUTH CHALLENGE

To ALL pastors and Christians, please show us who are lovers of the truth, the Chapter and verse where it says "Its ALL ABOUT our heart!"

The Christmas Survey

The Pew Research Center surveyed 1,503 adults between Nov. 29 and Dec. 4, using live telephone interviewers to reach both landlines and cellphones.

 Pew Research Center survey released Tuesday suggests the way Americans celebrate the holiday is slowly shifting toward the secular. Researchers found that a growing number of U.S. adults believe the religious parts of Christmas are being emphasized less in American society ― and many aren’t bothered by the change. One of the most striking parts of the survey explored how Americans feel about the story of Jesus’ birth as it is described in the Bible.

In addition, the number of people who believe in key aspects of the Christmas story ― such as the virgin birth and the wise men bringing the false white “Jesus” gifts ― is declining. Significantly, even a small percentage of self-professed Christians are doubting these biblical narratives. Pew found that 46 percent of adults surveyed this year said they see Christmas as more of a religious holiday than a cultural holiday, down from 51 percent in 2013. Most Millennial’s who celebrate Christmas think of it more as a cultural or American holiday than a religious one (44 percent, compared with 32 percent). Tom Krattenmaker, who writes about religion in public life and authored Confessions of a Secular Jesus Follower, told HuffPost that the poll findings may reflect the growing number of Americans who are religiously unaffiliated.

“As more Americans drift away from religion in general and Christianity in particular, it stands to reason they would take a more secular approach to the holiday,” Krattenmaker said. Mike McHargue is a Christian author and podcaster whose work often touches on the topic of doubt within Christianity. McHargue told HuffPost that he finds the shift within Christianity was both inevitable and encouraging. For him, it means that people are stepping away from thinking of the elements of the Christmas story as scientific facts ― which is not how Jesus’ followers in the first century would have understood them anyway. Most Americans (56 percent) said the religious aspects of Christmas are emphasized less today than in the past, few (25 percent) are bothered by the change.

More than half of Americans (52 percent) said it “doesn’t matter” whether stores greet customers with “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays” during the festive season. And fewer Americans now say Christian displays should be allowed on government property without representation from other religions. In 2014, 44 percent said symbols like nativity scenes should be allowed on government property even if unaccompanied by symbols from other faiths. That declined to 37 percent this year. On the other hand, a growing number of people said no religious displays should be permitted on government property (20 percent in 2014, compared with 26 percent in 2017.)

 "You Know MY Heart!, when I'm with her, I'll be thinking of you!" 

 Comparing participation in pagan traditions to infidelity in a marriage is indeed a strong analogy. It's like a husband who knowingly engages in extramarital relations and tries to reassure his wife by claiming he'll be thinking of her during the act, insisting that she knows his true feelings and intentions. Yet, despite this, he plans to repeat the betrayal tomorrow, all the while professing his love.

Similarly, if we claim to love YaHuWaH and understand that engaging in these sexually perverse traditions deeply wounds His heart, then why do we continue to participate in them in any capacity?

What truly lies within the depths of one's heart (Deuteronomy 12:31)? When individuals who are aware of the truth about pagan holidays compel their children to participate in these spiritually adulterous traditions, several consequences unfold: Firstly, they bear accountability before YaHuWaH, as their actions are being documented. Secondly, by indoctrinating their children into spiritual adultery and disobedience to the Most High without granting them a choice, they perpetuate a cycle of spiritual harm. Lastly, they instill in their children the notion that it is acceptable to embrace falsehoods and to pass on those lies to subsequent generations.

Its like a women who is addicted to heroin, gets pregnant and continues taking heroin for the next 9 months. When her baby is born that infant by default is addicted to heroin, therefore giving that child NO choice in the matter. That mother’s selfish wants and addiction has NOW been passed down to her child. The same goes for the wicked, evil satanic, pagan holiday of CHRIST-MASS. Through continued deception the devil keeps the generational curses (which was put on YiSRAL (Israel) by YaHuWaH because of their pagan worship) going and why the masses today are ALL in darkness. 

It's astounding that some people think they can live a life of disobedience to YaHuWaH here on earth and still expect to receive the inheritance and blessing of the Israelites in the end. Many Christians are taught that they will receive ongoing favor, even as they willingly disrespect and disobey YaHuWaH's name and commands. This belief is rooted in the idea that God's love means everyone will be saved, but YaHuWaH is exclusive. A quick glance through the Hebrew TaNaKh reveals that YaHuWaH’s chosen is the nation of Israel, and all those who oppose with get dealt with.

Apologies for disrupting the widespread beliefs perpetuated in many churches, but here's the blunt Hebrew truth: YaHuWaH desires only Israel, which are those who choose to genuinely love Him, and who choose to obey His commandments. Our actions and choices now ultimately determine the destination. The TaNaKh warns that a lack of knowledge, perpetuated by misguided priests or pastors, can lead to spiritual destruction (Hosea 4:6).

Hosea 4:6 KJV

6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

HuWShuWA 4:6 “Hosea” Hebrew TaNaKh

6 My people is destroyed because of your disobedience, Because you have rejected obedience I reject you as my priest. Because you have spurned the teachings of your ALuWaH I in turn will spurn your children.

Once again making the time to read the scripture from the Hebrew shreds more light on the proper translation. When we read from the beginning of HuWShuWA 4:1-3 we find that people will be destroyed because of the disobedience of the priests (those charged with teaching). We read that the Creator had a case against YiSRAL (Israel) because not only were they disobedient unto YaHuWaH, the appointed priest did NOT rebuke, reprove or correct YiSRAL’s wicked lifestyle (the blood is on the priest’s hands).

Fast forward to our modern times, Christians, pastors, and fathers of the home who know the truth and choose not to teach it are following in the footsteps of the priest by disobeying YaHuWaH. The Hebrew Old Testament instructs us NOT to lie, however when people opt NOT to teach the words of YaHuWaH they are robbing their children, friends, and family of the truth (ShaMuWTh 20:15 “Exodus”). Silence is usually compliance and people are essentially condoning the unchanging pagan holiday and idol/image worshiping lifestyle towards the Creator YaHuWaH. These customs (ex. Easter and Christmas) are all done predominantly by way of or in honor of a salvific man (aka European Jesus, YaHuWShuWA, YaHuShA, YaHaWaShi, etc.).

 In our modern-day compromising society, people have come up with SO many ways to justify why they celebrate pagan holidays and why it’s acceptable unto YaHuWaH. YES, in the world’s eyes it’s perfectly OK but for 1) WE as the elect are NOT to be of this world and are called to be QaDaSh (set apart), and 2) in the eyes of the Creator He HATES IT! Is this about us or should we change our lifestyle to make it into the Creators ShaMaH (heaven) when we die? What people seem to forget is that WE were created for HIS pleasure and this world is NOT all about US or what WE want (ZaMaR 33:6-9 "Psalm").

YaHuWaH has what we need and NOT the other way around. Parents (especially men) this is a war for NOT only your souls but for your family/children's souls as well. Men were chosen to be the spiritual leader of the home, so the responsibility is yours. So men, you as the Lions of YaHuWaH CAN'T be Weak Men, get your home in order immediately because the Creator is watching and taking account! Lion and Lionesses rid your pride (house / intimidate family) of pagan objects, false images, and symbols of deception. Parents, do we LOVE our children enough to tell them the truth and inform them that YaHuWaH HATES His elect taking part in these sinful, perverted, and adulterous pagan holidays? Do we LOVE our children enough to equip them with the weapons of ToRaH so that they can defend against lies, deception, temptations or anything thing or anyone who pulls them away from the ToRaH and YaHuWaH (Deuteronomy 1-8)?

 YaShAYaHuW 45:7 “Isaiah”

7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I YaHuWaH do all these things.

Deuteronomy 13:1-8

Deuteronomy 13:1-8 provides guidance on discerning false prophets and the consequences of following them. It warns against being swayed away from YaHuWaH and His ToRaH by signs or wonders to follow individuals who promote worship of other gods. It instructing that such prophets should be put to death to preserve the purity of worship to YaHuWaH alone. The passage emphasizes the importance of remaining steadfast in allegiance to YaHuWaH and not being led astray by deceptive teachings or practices. Sadly Christian churches encourage you to follow the New Testament and Jesus teachings over the ToRaH.

DaBaRiYM 30:15-20 “Deuteronomy”

15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

16 In that I command thee this day to love YaHuWaH thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and YaHuWaH thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;

18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

20 That thou mayest love YaHuWaH thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which YaHuWaH sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Due to the mass acceptance of Christian theology, most people overlook the fact that Ha’SaTaN (H7854 the adversary in Hebrew or the devil in Christianity) was specifically created by the Creator to seduce YiSRAL (His chosen people) AWAY from the Him (YaShaYaHuW45:5-7 “Isaiah“). The purpose is to test YiSRAL's (past and present) loyalty/obedience to Him, by way of various deceptions. Against popular Western belief, the Christian New Testament Messiah is one of those ways (DaBaRiYM 13:1-3 “Deuteronomy”). We ALL have given in to our children, they see others joining in the fun of the pagan holidays, but as children, they really don't know the lasting effects of these actions. Catholicism has created/changed and counterfeited so many of YaHuWaH’s sabbath days making them inclusive, and because of that, ALL the masses join in. Society and the masses teach that we ALL must fit in so that we won’t be made fun of or feel left out, but YaHuWaH’s word (through His chosen prophets) instructs us otherwise (YaRaMiYaHuW 10:1-2 “Jeremiah”, ZaMaR 1:1 “Psalm “).

Even the Christian New Testament teaches against this (1 John 2:15-17, Romans 12:2, 14:13, Matthew 7:13) however with 200 Christian denominations in the U.S. and a staggering 45,000 globally, clearly, Christianity is up to individual or secret personal interpretation (YaShAYaHuW 45:19 “Isaiah”). If the masses are doing it, then that should be a red flag! The old quote goes “If it was EASY then EVERYONE would be doing it!” How fascinating is it that the masses (EVEN atheists) take part in this pagan holiday, WHY? Because it’s FUN and EASY, and they are anticipating getting or giving (which feels good emotionally). For those who say they claim NO religion yet STILL celebrate these holidays, NEWS FLASH you ARE following an ancient custom, and it’s called PAGANISM. If people say they follow the scriptures (which is a Hebraic cultural lifestyle) then do so, and do what the Hebrews did. The scriptures instruct us NOT to lie, and yet Christian parents all across the world proudly lie to their children every year when these adulterous holidays come around.

“Santa is coming and Christmas is about the birth of a foretold savior in the Old Testament”

THIS IS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN

Teacher get lets go for telling the truth!

A substitute teacher in New Jersey will not be returning to the Montville Township Public Schools (City of Los Altos, Calif.) A substitute teacher has been removed from a New Jersey school district after telling a group of first graders that Santa Claus is not real. In a statement obtained by USA TODAY, Montville Schools Superintendent Rene Rovtar said the teacher "is no longer working in the school district." Earlier this week, Principal Michael Raj of Cedar Hill School in Montville, New Jersey, sent a letter to parents apologizing for a teacher who told the first-grade class Santa was not real.

"As a father of four myself, I am truly aware of the sensitive nature of this announcement," Raj wrote, reports NJ.com.

Raj said he also talked to the teacher about her "poor judgment."

In an earlier statement to local outlets, Rene Rovtar, the superintendent, said she was "troubled and disheartened" by the teacher's decision.

Sadly, in this now-compromising world, you can get fired for telling the truth!

The Truth in plain sight

Here we see a movie titled “Pagan Warrior”. The main character of the movie calls upon the mythical pagan demon Krampus (the Yule Devil) to come and exact (permitting precise or absolute measurements) revenge for the murder of his family. So many families invite these demonic spirits into their homes during the winter solstice (aka Christmas for the masses).

Santa's Hat

Thousands of people during the Christmas holiday take part in wearing Santa's hat NOT knowing what they are really doing. Sadly for most this holiday is all about them and their feelings and NOT about what the Heavenly Father’s feelings are! The Santa Hat as we know it "only" goes back to the 18th Century (again NOT a Hebrew cultural trait). The Santa ideal is still based mostly on Victorian ideals of Santa, the actual story of Santa is a spin-off of many pagan deities like old father time, father winter, Yule, etc. Since Santa is supposed to be a "grandfather-like" figure, he's wearing clothing associated with grandfathers of the Victorian era - that old-style (18th Century and very early 19th century) nightcap with an older-styled suit. The traditional Santa hat is based on a men's nightcap.

Down through the years, this pagan object (just like many, many others) has changed to fit the times. The camauro is another spin-off of this pagan traditional object and we see that the pope wears the same type of style cap. Not ONCE in scripture do we ever read where the set apart melanated Hebrew people of YaHuWaH took pagan objects or symbols (of other deities) like the Romans and proudly wore them. Scripture DOES say, however (multiple times) that YaHuWaH instructed the Hebrews to burn and destroy ALL pagan objects and symbols (DaBaRiYM 7:5, 12:1-4 and 30-31 "Deuteronomy", ShaMuWTh 23:24 "Exodus", and BaT ALuWHiYM 18:4 "2 Kings")!

THIS is what Saturnalia is ALL about!

Giving honor to a Norse god, decorating the homes with trees, decorating the home inside / out with lights or items, and taking part in the ritualistic pagan customs was NOT something that ANY of the true YaHuWaH fearing Hebrews did. NEVER do we read in the Hebrew ToRaH where the Hebrews wore catholic camauro’s (def) or cult crosses around their necks. NEVER do we see in Hebrew TaNaKh where the Hebrew prophets decorated trees with silver/gold (YaRaMiYaHuW 10 “Jeremiah”). NEVER do we read where every year the Hebrews wrapped gifts to present to each other (or the savior) during the winter season. People think Hell-oween, Easter, Christ-mass, and Ba’alentines pagan traditions were NOT prevalent back in the ancient times, but if you do historical research you will see that to be 100% false. If it’s NOT written in the Hebrew TaNaKh, then it as an addition to the word, which we commanded NOT do. The Creator is clearly specific when it comes to what we need to do to be in right standing with Him.

When Christians deviate from authorized ways of worshiping YaHuWaH's word, akin to the actions of the Roman pagan Emperor Constantine, they directly defy YaHuWaH's commandments (Deuteronomy 4:2). While it may be uncomfortable to confront the truth about the origins of holidays, ignoring it does not erase the reality that YaHuWaH still condemns such practices. Every action and decision we make is recorded in the book of life by Him. Unfortunately, many preachers shy away from discussing these uncomfortable truths and fail to present the overwhelming historical and scriptural evidence of the pagan origins of holidays, alongside YaHuWaH's disdain for them.

To uncover the whole truth, one must first humble themselves, be open to unlearning falsehoods, and diligently seek the Creator's words, predominantly found in the Hebrew ToRaH. This pursuit of truth may challenge Westernized conditioned minds, but it is imperative to prioritize the pursuit of genuine understanding over comfort or familiarity.

Churches and pastors worldwide attempt to alter or rationalize pagan holidays, yet they fail to realize that by doing so, they still validate those pagan practices. They unwittingly participate in ritualistic acts, perpetuating deception. Regardless of attempts at justification, YaHuWaH consistently views these holidays as spiritual adultery. Analogous to physical intimacy, where souls intertwine, spiritual fidelity to YaHuWaH is compromised when engaging in false gods or pagan customs, in any form. Sadly, churches neglect to teach that partaking in these pagan holidays constitutes spiritual adultery. Instead, they opt to repackage falsehoods, creating new traditions, while the origins remain steeped in ancient pagan practices.

Pagan Christ-mass tree's (Nimrods reproductive organ) right on the altar of the LORD (Ba'al) in church Leviticus 26:1

"We Don't Do Christmas because of its sexually perverted origins!"

Churches, Christians, and pastors often defend and uphold these pagan holidays due to a lack of genuine love for the Creator's truth (found in the Hebrwe ToRaH). Unfortunately, many are ensnared by a powerful delusion, unaware that they have unwittingly embraced pagan practices. After being entrenched in the traditions of Christianity for so long, pastors and congregations may struggle to recognize and accept the truth when it is presented to them. Fear often prevents them from embracing the truth, even when they recognize it themselves. Similarly, when our eyes were opened to the reality, we chose to pursue the truth out of love for the God of Israel, and for the well-being of our families.

Fear, weakness, and confusion often stem from misinformation, leading people to succumb to justifying falsehoods in their minds. Many find themselves trapped in a cycle of mental slavery, clinging to what they know—Jesus, church, and Christianity—without realizing that YaHuWaH has already unveiled His unchanging truth in the Hebrew ToRaH. Individuals face a choice: remain bound by chains of falsehood or seize the key of truth to liberate their minds. While pastors may have resigned themselves to their fate, what about the souls of the children, teens, young adults, and others within their congregation? Their spiritual well-being hangs in the balance.

Do these individuals not deserve the opportunity to hear the Hebrew ToRaH, which Christians say is the unchanging and sacred word of the God if Israel? The choice of pastors to perpetuate falsehoods and disregard the truth, damning themselves in the process, does not grant them the right to lead their congregations astray. It is a tragic and selfish act for pastors to abandon the truth, thereby fulfilling the scriptures and compromising the word to appease the desires of the masses within their churches.

YaHuWaH, in His love for us, bestowed upon us free will instead of coercion in our service to Him. Despite clear instructions against falsehood, including the concealment of the true pagan origins of cultural symbols like Santa Claus, Christmas Trees, the Easter Bunny, Halloween, Tooth Fairies, and Egg hunts, many individuals, Christians included, choose to disregard these teachings to spare feelings. However, this can have detrimental effects, as it may lead to a crisis of faith when individuals inevitably discover the truth. It's crucial to remember that our actions should prioritize honoring YaHuWaH's desires over our own inclinations. Despite widespread acknowledgment of the pagan origins of holidays, such as Christmas, many still partake in them, which reflects a significant disconnect between belief and practice.

Amidst the plethora of opinions surrounding the celebration of holidays, have we paused to consider what the Creator, YaHuWaH, thinks about the participation in these pagan-originated festivities? Delving into the authentic Hebrew ToRaH and historical records—prior to the advent of the European Jesus—we discover the dominance of paganism throughout history. These pagan traditions and customs, which predate the birth of Jesus, were among the reasons Israel faced captivity, sent upon ships by YaHuWaH due to spiritual adultery—an aspect seldom addressed in traditional teachings within churches.

YaHuWaH explicitly instructed Israel against adopting the worship practices of pagans, emphasizing several reasons: Firstly, their disobedience entailed prioritizing the traditions of false gods over YaHuWaH. Secondly, scriptures depict YaHuWaH as a jealous deity, underscoring the exclusivity of devotion expected from His followers. Lastly, the pagan practices of worship, exemplified in festivities like Christmas, Halloween, and Valentine's Day, were reprehensible, involving abhorrent acts such as rape and child sacrifices.

December 25th

Pagan Celebrations Were Happening At That Time

When removing our conditioned emotions, unbiased research tells us that the branch of Jesse prophesied in the Old Testament was never born on December 25th, because he is yet to come. This raises the logical question as to why Christmas is celebrated on this date. The answer points back to pagan celebrations which occurred around the winter solstice. Two celebrations, in particular, took place around December 25 - Saturnalia and the birthday of the sun god, Mithra. The Saturnalia festival began on December 17th and later expanded with festivities through to December 25th. It paid tribute to Saturn, the agricultural god of sowing and husbandry, and was associated with the renewal of light and the coming of the new year. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice in the Temple of Saturn, followed by a public banquet and private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere.

When the Pagan Roman Emperor Constantine created the organized religion of Christianity (in the f4th century), he had quite a challenge ahead of him with regard to converting an empire full of various pagans (those who practiced polytheism). It was therefore decreed to celebrate the birth of their newly created European savior “Jesus” on a date that was ALREADY sacred according to pagan tradition. As a compromise with all pagans and in an attempt to give the ancient pagan holidays a new “Christian” significance, it was simply decreed that the birthday of the Sun God would also be the birthday of their “son of God” Jesus. The Catholic Encyclopedia quotes an early Christian as saying, “O, how wonderfully acted Providence that on that day on which that Sun was born.... Christ should be born.”

Because the coming and prophesied MaShiYaCh in the Hebrew Old Testament has yet to come, why celebrate him on the 25th December if the bible doesn't back it up? The first recorded date of Christmas being celebrated on December 25th was in 336AD, during the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine. A few years later, Pope Julius the 1st officially declared that the birth of false savior Jesus would be celebrated on the 25th of December. December 25th also was chosen because the Winter Solstice and the ancient pagan Roman midwinter festivals called 'Saturnalia' and 'Dies Natalis Solis Invicti' took place in December around this date - so it was a time when people already celebrated traditional things of paganism.

ALL the following ALuWHiYMs (Gods in English) have a historic birth date of December 25th

Tammuz, born before 2600 BC
Krishna of India, before 3228 BC
Mithra of Persia, born before 1500 BC
Horus of Egypt before 2500, BC
Buddha, of India before 563, BC
Beddou, of the orient, born 1027 BC
Quetzalcoatl, Western Hemisphere, before 900 BC
Hercules, Son of Zeus, born around 500 BC
Attis of Phrygia, born around 1200 BC
Osiris of Egypt, before 2500 BC

We read several times in the Hebraic scriptures that YaHuWaH HATES pagan worship. If the Creator did have a physical son or depending on the various Christian belief systems, He became a fleshly man (which contradicts His word MaSPaR 23:19 “Numbers”) why in His infinite wisdom would He give His son a birthday date that is associated with other pagan gods (Pagan Gods Born to Virgins on December 25th Before Jesus Christ)? The answer is YaHuWaH wouldn’t because according to the Creator, His anointed chosen son and firstborn is the Nation (H1471 nation, people, of Israel, of descendants of Abraham) of Israel (ShaMuWTh 4:22-23 “Exodus”, HuWShuWA 11:1 “Hosea”, ZaMaR 105:1-15 “Psalm” and ALaPh DaBaR 16:14-22 "1 Chronicle").

Biblical Evidence Shows European Jesus Wasn't Born on Dec. 25

What most people forget is that we are on a different calendar than in ancient times. In order to realign the Roman calendar with the SUN (pagan sun worship), Julius Caesar had the original lunar cycleway, changed to the now Gregorian style calendar. This was to favor the celebration of the vast pagan deities. Even the Christian New Testament teaches shepherds were in the fields watching their flocks at the time of the Christian New Testament Messiahs’ birth (Luke 2:7-8). Shepherds were NOT in the fields during December.

Christmas List Origins

Here is the half man half horned animal, false god known as Molech. December 25th was the day that this deity required that children were sacrificed on the altar to him! Why December 25th? Because this is known in paganism as "the winter solstice" and it is supposedly the best time to offer up babies to Satan because the sun is being "reborn."  People would make a "wish list" for Molech and then they would place their babies to be burned alive into the arms of this god Molech along with their wish list, and they believed that by offering up their babies to this god on December 25th, they would receive everything that they had requested on their wish list in the year to come.
 

The image of Molech was a giant statue made of iron. Underneath this image was an oven, and it was stoked with wood until it became bright red. The image resembled today's modern day "Satan Claws" (Santa Clause) and people are still "offering up their children" to Molech the god of prosperity and materialism when they ignorantly allow their children to sit on the lap of the image of Santa/Satan.

Christmas Lights

 Various cultures have winter festivals that are in fact celebrations of light — in addition to Christmas, there's Hanukkah with its brightly lit menorahs, Kwanzaa candles, and any number of other holidays. Yule is a festival that celebrates the god Odin, and the pagan Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht. As a festival of the Sun worship, the most important part of any Yule celebration is the light of the sun — candles, bone-fires ☠️, and more. 

Many cultures celebrate the sun's return by preparing all kinds of winter foods. Throughout history, candles have been used to ward off darkness and evil. The first use of candles in December was during the Roman Saturnalia festival, where tall tapers of wax were offered to Saturn as a symbol of his light and also given as a gift to guests. The Pagans also used candles during their Yule festivities, with candlelight and bonfires (bonfires) being used to welcome the nights beginning to get lighter. 

Wreaths

Wreaths originally were used with pagan rituals in Europe and were associated with the changing seasons and fertility. Christianity accepted the symbolism of the wreath based on its Roman association with honor and moral virtue. The Advent wreath—made of fir branches, with four candles denoting the four Sundays of the Advent season—is of even more recent origin, especially in North America. The custom, which began in the 19th century but had roots in the 16th, originally involved a fir wreath with 24 candles (the 24 days before Christmas, starting December 1).

For many people, placing a wreath on the front door of the home at Christmas time is part of the festive decoration and Christmas cheer. But its meaning runs much deeper. For centuries, wreaths have represented the unending cycle of life and have been symbols of victory and honor. Ancient Druids, Celts, and Romans used evergreen branches made into wreaths in their winter solstice celebrations. As early as 1444, wreaths were used as Christmas decorations in London. In 16th-century Germany, evergreen branches were intertwined in a circular shape to symbolize God's love, which has no beginning and no end.

Laurel or bay leaves were popular with the pagan Romans because the leaves were sacred to Apollo, the sun god. The ancient Romans used decorative wreaths, made from laurel wreaths as a sign of victory, and it is believed that this is where the seasonal hanging of wreaths on doors came from. In many cultures of ancient times, the wreath is a sign/symbol of the women's vagina representing fertility, false worship, and idolatry. Nature worship is witchcraft, and behind it is the enemy's craftiness and deception. As we can see this custom NEVER originated from the Hebrew people in the ToRaH (Old Testament), but are in fact contemporary customs of the West. The Hebrew ToRaH expressly forbids celebrating holidays or customs that are or were held by pagans. Churches “christianize” pagan holidays, however since Christianity has always been a pagan religion, you can't christianize something that's already pagan. Israel was already warned about these acts in DaBRiYM 12:29-31 (Deuteronomy).

DaBaRiYM 12:29-31 “Deuteronomy”

29 When YaHuWaH thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;

30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

31 Thou shalt not do so unto YaHuWaH thy God: for every abomination to YaHuWaH, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters, they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

DaBaRiYM 7:26 “Deuteronomy”

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.

Mistletoe's Pagan Druid Origins

Druids, or ancient Celtic people, believed mistletoe had magical powers and used it during rituals. Because of its use in pagan ceremonies, mistletoe was banned in Christian places of worship. Druids used mistletoe from oak trees in pagan rituals such as animal sacrifices. Mistletoe is one of the four plants adopted by Christians in order to celebrate Christmas.

Mistletoe was revered as a sacred plant by the Celts, and the Norse cultures. Druids believed that mistletoe could protect against thunder and lightning. Priests would use a golden sickle to cut a piece of mistletoe from an oak tree, catching the branches before they reached the ground. The mistletoe would then be cut into small pieces and distributed amongst the people. Mistletoe was also recognized as a druidic symbol of joy and peace. If enemies met each other underneath the woodland mistletoe, they were obliged to put down their weapons and form a truce until the following day. This is where the custom of hanging spring balls of mistletoe from the ceiling and kissing under it originates from. Again, NEVER in the Hebrew ToRaH do we read where these traditions originated from YaHuWaH’s chosen people, the Hebrews and His anointed son (HuWShuWA 11:1 “Hosea” and ShaMuWTh 4:22 “Exodus”).

Mistletoe was another plant that was considered to be sacred among both Druids and Romans. It was believed to have healing powers and the ability to ward off evil. It was also thought to be the connection between the earth and the heavens because it grew without roots, as if by magic. NEVER do we read about the Hebrew people putting their trust and or worshiping in a plant, pagan object, or symbol for healing or protection. No, and why not, because they knew their god YaHuWaH is the only one that saved and delivers (YaShAYaHuW 45:17-19 “Isaiah”).

Holly and Ivy

In Roman times, ivy was the symbol of Bacchus, who was the Greek god of wine and revelry. He wore it in his crown, and Pagans believed ivy to be a symbol of eternal life. Because of the pagan connotations surrounding ivy, early pagan Christians did not use ivy to decorate the inside of their "churches" to keep it so called set apart, but compromising to use it as an outdoor decoration. This tradition is popular in English/UK Christmas, but is not so popular in the U.S. The popularity of the Christmas hymn "The Holly and the Ivy" has helped ivy to become synonymous with Christmas time.

Several centuries after the birth of Christ, Christians began celebrating the birth of Christ in December while the Romans were still holding their pagan celebrations. By decorating their homes with holly as the Romans did, Christians avoided detection and persecution.

The early Christian Church associated holly with various legends about its role in Christ's crucifixion. According to one legend, Christ's crown of thorns was formed from holly. The legend claimed that the holly berries were originally white, but were stained red by Christ's blood. So for ancient Christians, the sharply pointed holly leaves became symbols of the thorns in Christ's crown and the red berries drops of his blood.

NONE of these pagan, Christian, Roman traditions of men are supported in the original Hebraic scripture.

Christmas carols

Carols have been sung for thousands of years, but they were not originally Christmas carols. Originally, they were Pagan songs, that were sung at the celebrations surrounding the Winter Solstice festival. The word "carol" actually means a song or dance of joy and praise! They were written and sung during all four seasons, but it was only the tradition of singing them at Christmas (Saturnalia) that survived! Popular pagan solstice carols are: Deck the Halls, the Holy and the Ivy, Joy to the World, Tannenbaum, Wassailing Song, and Green Growth the Holly. Others songs down through history have been slightly altered to fit Yule.

Scriptures tell us that there is nothing new under the sun, and tree worship is no different (Ecclesiastes 1:9). When we remove our emotional attachment to lies and choose to seek the pure truth, we find once again this custom tracks back to the polytheistic customs of pagans. NEVER once do we read in scripture where the melanated Hebrew people took part in any tree worship. While the modern celebration of Christmas is typically associated with Christianity and the birth of Jesus (although many non-Christians also celebrate Christmas), the symbolism of an evergreen tree did not have a place in the early Christian groups. The symbolism of the evergreen tree has much earlier origins that can be traced to the worship of the Sun God Mithras around 600 BC, as Mithras was often pictured in an evergreen tree or next to one.

Relief carving at Persepolis, ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire, depicting Mithra and an evergreen tree

The word etymology educated us to the fact that the Christmas-tree (in modern sense) first attested 1835 in American English, from German Weihnachtsbaum (the German word Christmas tree). Unbiased research tell us that Christmas trees date back to the ancient Romans, who were factually a polytheistic pagan nation! This is again 100% proof that tree worship was NOT a Hebraic (Hebrews who only worship the ONE true ALuWaH YaHuWaH) cultural custom. YaHuWaH even warn HIS people YiSRAL (Israel) NOT to learn the way heathen nations (those who worship multiple gods / spiritual adulterers)!

YaRaMiYaHuW 10 "Jeremiah"

1 Hear ye the word which YHWH speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

2 Thus saith YHWH, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

3 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.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O YHWH; thou art great, and thy NAME is great in might.

DaBaRiYM 7:26 “Deuteronomy”

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.

YaRaMiYaHuW 23:5-6 “Jeremiah”, and YaShAYaHuW 4:1-2 “Isaiah”

Groves

The masses love to defend the lie and say that the Christmas tree is NOT a pagan symbol or that’s is NOT part of spiritual adultery, but once again the original Hebrew scriptures bare a very different record. Lets go back to the account of ALiYaHuW (Elijah) and the 450 pagan profits of BaAL (the LORD / Sun worship) and 400 profits of the groves, many, many years prior to YaRaMiYaHuW 10 (Jeremiah 10).

ALaPh ALuWHiYM 18 “1 Kings”

17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?

18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of YHWH, and thou hast followed Baalim.

19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the “groves” four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.

Let’s take a look at the word “grove”

A grove of trees in Norway

Let us always point out that a tree in itself is fine, for we know YaHuWaH made trees for a specific purpose and is perfect in his sight, BUT we have to understand that YaShaRAL (Israel) was worshiping the tree along with the pagan masses. We know scripture states that YaHuWaH is a jealous ALuWaH (might one) and YaShaRAL was worshiping the creation OVER the Creator! When people put material things, self, their spouse, kids, family, money, or traditions of men above YaHuWaH, this is when it catches the Creator's attention, in a bad way!

Websters 1988 Third Edition Dictionary

So we read in the English Webster’s dictionary that a “grove” is a small group of trees. Remember the scriptures have been translated, so let’s take a deeper look at the word “grove” in Hebrew using the Strong’s Concordance. When we do we see the word Asherah (H842) which shows up 40 times in 40 verses.

The Strong’s Concordance educates us about the fact that the English word “groves” is AShaRaH in Hebrew. We read AShaRaH is a female deity who used trees as an idol for her worship! Notice it also mentions Astrate or Ishtar / Easter (the pagan goddess of fertility and sex). Strong’s says for us to compare H6253.

As we read, AShaTaRaTh is a star and a female pagan deity associated with idol tree worship. Its very interesting that people put a star on top of the Christmas tree? Sadly these pagan objects are in homes all over the planet and this spirit of deception seduces people. Parents invite in these demonic spirits in their homes which are possessing their children (to continue these pagan customs) and they have NO idea it’s happening!

Etymology

 Christians LOVE to say "God is ALL about love" or "God would NEVER just damn or kill people" or “god would NEVER divide up a family” or “that the Bible is not about rules and things we cant do, but what god can do for us”, but our response is always "Apparently they have NOT taken the time to read/study the Hebrew ToRaH for themselves.

The majority of people so are distracted with the things of this earth (getting ready to celebrate pagan holidays) that they are willing to swallow down lies from unlearned pastors who DON'T care for the truth! We read in scripture MANY, MANY times where YaHuWaH gathered His Israelite army to specifically slaughter pagan/heathen worshiping nations! YaHuWaH told His army that upon annihilating these many nations, do NOT inquire about these various pagan false ALuWHiYM's (translated to “gods” in English), do NOT take ANY prisoners, do NOT ask about their ways of worship, do NOT take their tainted gold/silver riches or idols and to NOT take on the customs of these pagan nations. YaHuWaH's explicit commands were to slaughter them ALL! Scripture clearly reads that NOT only did YaHuWaH command His armies to totally massacre all the men, women, children, infants, and the animals of these pagan nations, but the Israelites were also instructed to destroy/cut down / burn all these pagan nations’ groves of trees.

Why would YHWH go so far as to instruct them to burn their trees? It’s because ALL these pagan nations were also worshiping their man-made decorated trees! Remember AGAIN, this is ALL before European Jesus was even born and this pagan tradition of tree worship goes all the way back to ShaMuWTh 34:12-14 (Exodus). This is why in YaRaMiYaHuW 10:1-25 (Jeremiah) tree worship (now called the Christ-mass tree) was mentioned and the scripture tells us to learn NOT the ways of the heathen. There are MANY various scriptures that clearly state we are NOT to learn the way of the pagan heathens (Deuteronomy 12:4, 12:31, and YaRaMiYaHuW 10:2). 

Historical research also uncovers many cultures having various Gods and or saviors / Christs that were also demigods (humans born from the conception of a God and a mortal), sound familiar (European Jesus). So think about it, NOW that we know how YaHuWaH deals with pagan nations and HATES anything to do with false gods, does it sound right to you that YaHuWaH in his infinite wisdom/power would choose a birth date for His one and only begotten son to be on the same day that other pagan gods share??? NO, YaHuWaH is unchanging, he is the same yesterday, today, and forever! SO this means if he HATED tree worship/paganism back then, then he for sure HATES it today in these last, of the last days.

A similar practice described in scripture involved erecting an obelisk, which served as a phallic symbol, alongside a tree to create an altar for the deity associated with that tree. This practice, known as an Asherah (or pillar or pole), was explicitly forbidden to the followers of YHWH, as mentioned in Deuteronomy 7:5, 16:21, and Jeremiah 10:2-4. These altars, referred to as Asherim, were sites where both animals and humans were ritually sacrificed. Often, the altar consisted of a tree stump with the trunk snapped off, leaving jagged spike-like splinters.

The Christmas tree phenomenon is also a type of altar, where gifts and offerings are placed by or under it. The obelisk is an ancient architectural form that predates the story of Nimrod and Semiramis. It originated in ancient Egypt and was commonly used as a monument or marker, often associated with sun worship and the deification of pharaohs.

 the god of Israel warned Israel to not erect an Asherah next to His altar, nor bring a "detestable thing" into the house, but the masses all over joyfully bring these abominations into their homes during the time of Christmas. Even though people either DON'T know or DON'T care what the tree represented long ago, YaHuWaH hasn't forgotten at all!  He does not change. He dispersed the northern tribes of YaShaRAL into the nations, and they have lived as Pagans for 2700+ years. They left YaHuWaH Covenant, but they have held fast to the Asherim (plural of Asherah).

If December 25th truly commemorates the birth of the Christian New Testament savior, shouldn't the focus be on honoring him rather than exchanging gifts among ourselves? The tradition of gift-giving by the magi was rooted in their cultural customs for welcoming new kings, not a directive for perpetual consumerism.

If the essence of Christmas is genuine goodwill towards all, why do we witness Christians displaying animosity towards those who don't celebrate, all the while wearing shirts that proclaim "Have a Merry Christmas"?

Unfortunately, in America, there's a prevalent assumption that everyone participates in pagan holidays, which isn't the case for everyone. The truth is, not everyone finds joy in these festivities. Does YaHuWaH truly desire people to feel pressured into buying gifts and accumulating debt just to keep up with societal expectations?

When questioned about why I don't partake in holiday celebrations like others, my response remains consistent: "I adhere to the scriptures and wholeheartedly love YaHuWaH. It's not about me; it's about honoring HIM. If you can demonstrate from the scriptures where YaHuWaH instructs us to observe pagan holidays, I'm open to reconsidering my stance."

 If you still don’t believe that the Christmas tree is a pagan symbol of worship and that is perfectly OK in the Creator’s eyes, then read the following scriptures in the Hebrew TaNaKh regarding “every green tree:”

Deu 12:2, 1Ki 14:23, 2Ki 16:4, 2Ki 17:10, 2Ch 28:4, Isa 57:5, Jer 2:20, Jer 3:6, Jer 3:13 and Eze 6:13

So YES Christians, the false Latin created lie "Jesus" IS the reason for this wicked, sexually perverted pagan season.

 NOW that you know the truth, when it comes to celebrating the holidays, ask yourself these questions: 1) "Who is getting the esteem if you celebrate this holiday? and 2) If the Creator was right next to me, would He be pleased if I took part in this NOW knowing that he HATES it?

Gift Giving

Many assert that the tradition of gift-giving traces back to the wise men (Magi) presenting gifts to Jesus upon his birth. However, this act was a singular event and not an annual tradition. The wise men, originating from the East, were pagan practitioners of divination, magic, and astrology. In their cultural practices, it was customary to offer gifts to a king on their birthday, divergent from Hebrew traditions.The practice of exchanging gifts during Christmas finds its roots in Saturnalia, the ancient Roman festival honoring Saturn. Romans exchanged small gifts as tokens of luck and goodwill during this festival.

Generosity toward the less fortunate was widespread during this season. However, the practice of gift-giving has evolved into a massive industry, influenced by commercialism and avarice. Many individuals find themselves burdened by debt each year, striving to match the materialistic expectations of the holiday season. Is it truly in alignment with the principles of YaHuWaH to succumb to financial strain and anxiety, purchasing gifts for acquaintances simply out of obligation?

Nicholas was made Bishop of Myra while still a young man. He became known throughout the land for his generosity to those in need and his love for children. Thus began the tradition of gift-giving in honor of Saint Nicholas, whose modern name Santa Claus, comes from the Dutch ‘Sinterklaas’.

Saint Nicholas died on December 6th, 343 AD and on the eve of his death children were bestowed gifts in his honor. December 6th is still the main day for gift giving in many countries in Europe. For example, in the Netherlands, Sinterklaas is said to arrive on a steamboat or horse from Spain. On the night of December 5th, Dutch children traditionally put their shoes on the hearth, or the central heating duct, hoping that he will fill them with sweet rewards rather than a reprimand for any poor behavior during the year .

The Yule Log 

The yule log tradition does indeed have roots in ancient European pagan celebrations, particularly those surrounding the winter solstice. Bonfires (bonfires) were a common feature of these celebrations, symbolizing the return of the sun and the lengthening of days. The Yule log itself was a significant part of Yule festivities, with a piece often being saved from the previous year's log to start the fire for the next year's celebration.

Traditionally, the Yule log would be brought into the house and placed in the fireplace, where it would be ceremonially decorated with greenery, such as holly and ivy, and sometimes adorned with other decorations. It would then be doused with alcohol, such as cider or ale, and sometimes dusted with flour or other substances before being set on fire. The burning of the Yule log was seen as a way to bring warmth, light, and good fortune to the household for the coming year.

In some traditions, the Yule log would burn throughout the night and sometimes for several days, though the specific duration varies across regions. While Celtic mythology does indeed feature figures like the Oak King and Holly King symbolizing seasonal change, their association with the Yule log tradition is not universal. Today, modern interpretations of Yule logs often include chocolate-covered Swiss roll cakes, occasionally adorned with icing sugar to mimic the tradition of dusting flour onto the log before burning, and sometimes decorated with plastic holly sprigs for festive flair.

In many countries, especially in Europe, it is common to light what is referred to as a Yule log at Christmas time. Cakes shaped like logs are served and called Yule cakes. The modern Christmas celebration itself is sometimes even referred to as Yule, as a traditional festival descending from a Pre-Christian midwinter Germanic or Nordic countries connected to the celebration of the Wild Hunt, the god Odin, and the pagan Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht.

The word ‘Yule’ itself seems to descend from jól – found in many languages: Common Germanic, Old Norse, Icelandic, among others. References to burning a Yule log at Christmas (or Yuletide) appear in the 17th century, but the original origins are unclear. Earlier in history, the pagan Celts, Teutons, and Druids burned massive logs in winter ceremonies in celebration of the sun. When Christianity emerged in Europe, the Yule log remained popular. In order to justify this ancient pagan ritual, Church officials gave it a new significance - that of the light that came from Heaven when Christ was born. Scripture is very clear about adding or removing from the word (DaBaRiYM 4:2, 12:32, “Deuteronomy” and MaShaL 30:5-6 “Proverbs”).

The pagan deity Odin / the devil

Despite the fact that our modern day image of Father Christmas has largely been shaped by a 1930's Coca-Cola advertising campaign, he most definitely has Pagan roots. At the beginning of the 1930's, as the burgeoning Coca-Cola company was looking for ways to increase sales of their product during winter (then a slow time of year for the soft drink market), they turned to a talented commercial illustrator named Haddon Sundblom, who created a series of memorable drawings (inspired in large part by Clement Clark Moore’s 1822 poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas”) that associated the figure of a larger than life, red-and-white garbed Santa Claus with Coca-Cola and the slogan “The Pause That Refreshes”.

Children all over the world are told that Father Christmas developed from St. Nicholas, but those people that follow Paganism know there is more to the story than that. There was a Pagan god named Odin, often depicted as a chubby old man with a white beard who wore a long flowing cloak. One of the most well known anagram in the occult world is the name of Sanat Kumara. Sanat is better known as Satan. Constance Cumbey, writes in her best-selling, new-age expose, The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, ". . . they [New Agers] freely call Sanat Kumara (Satan) 'God'. And their doctrinal reference books by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Alice Ann Bailey freely cross-reference Sanat Kumara with Venus. In occult writings, Lucifer and Venus are one and the same."
(Constance Cumbey, The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, p. 138)

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to transform "Satan" from "Santa"? A simple Google search on "Satan Claus" (not Santa Claus – but SATAN Claus) found over 1,700 hits. There are many that tie the two together. The rearranging of letters is called anagrams and its purpose is to hide secret names or words, this has long been practiced in the occult world. The Jewish Encyclopedia writes of the occult book called the KaBaLaH (in Hebrew means "Tradition"), so it is a book of traditions for those who follow the religion of Judaism, down to its later Christian, New Age, and Occultist / Western esoteric syncretic adaptations. 

One of the most well-known anagrams in the Occultist is the name of Sanat Kumara. Sanat is better known as Satan. Constance Cumbey, writes in her best-selling, new-age expose, The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow p.138, ". . . they (New Ager's) freely call Sanat Kumara "Satan" God. Their Theosophical Society doctrinal reference books by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (a Satanist / new age teacher) and Alice Ann Bailey (another Theosophical leader of the new age movement in 1917) freely cross-reference Sanat Kumara with Venus. In occult writings, Lucifer and Venus are one and the same." 

H.P. Blavatsky, the Satanist and new-age teacher writes in The Secret Doctrine:

"many a mysterious sacred name. . . conveys to the profane ear no more than some ordinary, and often vulgar (common) word, because it is concealed anagrammatically or otherwise.
(H.P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, Vol II, p.78)

There are many different origins of the Santa Claus that we know today, like St. Nicholas and Father Christmas. Most people don’t know though that one of the major inspirations for Santa Claus is actually the Viking god of war called Odin. In the old stories, like Santa Claus, Odin is an old guy with a long white beard. But if you’re naughty, instead of bringing you a lump of coal he was more likely to deliver punishment. Odin was famous for being the father of Thor the god of thunder and ruling the sky realm of Asgard. He also liked to roam Earth disguised as an old traveler wearing a cloak, hat, and spear. During a festival in December (called Yule) Odin would lead a group of supernatural beings across the sky in a crazy event called the Wild Hunt. Where Santa flies through the sky on a sleigh with eight reindeer, Odin rides Sleipnir, a fearsome horse with eight legs.

Odin riding Sleipnir

St. Nicholas

Saint Nicholas, also called Nikolaos of Myra or Nicholas of Bari, was Bishop of Myra, in Asia Minor, and is a historic Christian (pagan) saint. Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nikolaos the Wonderworker. Saint Nicholas also was one of the 300 bishops who held a seat at the he Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325 along with Emperor Constantine.

Nicolaitans or followers of Nicolas (also Nicholaism, Nicolaitism, Nicolationism, or Nicolaitanism), is a Christian heresy sect that was mentioned in Revelation 2:6, 2:15 whose deeds were strongly condemned. Their deeds and traditions may have been identical to those who held the doctrine of BaLiYM.

Revelation 2:6

6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

Revelation 2:14-15

14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I HATE.

We read that the Nicolaitans were causing those who walked in the truth to stumble. Due to the carnal lifestyle of Nicolaitans and their pagan traditions / spiritual adultery against YaHuWaH.

In the 17th century St. Nicholas paired with Krampus was tied into CHRISTIAN (pagan) celebrations. In fact, Krampus' roots have nothing to do with Christmas. Instead, they date back to pre-Germanic paganism in the region. His name originates with the German krampen, which means "claw," and tradition has it that he is the son of the Norse god of the underworld (Hell). Krampus would join St. Nicholas on his treks the night before St. Nicholas’ feast.

While St. Nicholas would reward the good with gifts and treats, Krampus would punish the bad. In some cases he would leave coal, but darker tales tell of ill-behaved children being stuffed into his sack to be carried away to hell! In 2017, Turkish archaeologists claimed St Nicholas’ remains are not in Bari, but located in the church of Saint Nicholas in Demre. They discovered another sarcophagus dating to the fourth century in the church, which they claim contains the saint.

 The Star of Ishtar

Sadly so many people take part in these wicked holidays having NO IDEA what they are doing or what spirits they are bringing into their homes and onto their children. Ishtar (AKA Queen of heaven, Venus), is the goddess of war and sexual love. The 8 pointed star (the link goes to Encyclopedia Britannica) of Ishtar is a symbol of the ancient Sumerian goddess of love, sensuality, fertility, procreation, and also of war.

The eight-pointed star is associated with Ishtar, an ancient Mesopotamian goddess. Ishtar was worshipped in various cultures across Mesopotamia, including the Sumerians and Babylonians. As a goddess of love, fertility, and war, Ishtar held significant importance in the Mesopotamian pantheon. The eight-pointed star, often referred to as the "Star of Ishtar," is one of the symbols associated with her worship. It symbolizes Ishtar's multifaceted nature as a goddess of various aspects of life, including love, sensuality, fertility, and war. The star is often depicted in ancient Mesopotamian art and iconography, representing the divine presence of Ishtar and her influence over different spheres of human existence.

The association between Ishtar and the eight-pointed star is well-documented in Mesopotamian archaeology and literature, and you can find further information about it in scholarly sources such as the Encyclopedia Britannica or academic works on Mesopotamian religion and symbolism.

1. Identification of Ishtar: the goddess worshipped in ancient Sumerian culture, became identified with similar goddesses in later Mesopotamian civilizations such as the Akkadians and Assyrians.

2. Star on the Christmas Tree: The claim that the star on top of the Christmas tree represents the pagan goddess Ishtar is a speculative interpretation. While there are theories about the origins of various Christmas traditions, such as the use of evergreen trees and decorative elements, direct connections to specific pagan deities like Ishtar are not well-established.

3. Evergreen Tree Symbolism: The evergreen trees were used in fertility rites and associated with pagan worship due to their greenery all year long is supported by historical evidence. Evergreen trees were indeed used in various ancient cultures as symbols of life, renewal, and fertility, particularly in winter festivals and solstice celebrations.

4. Gift-Giving and Winter Solstice: There is historical evidence of gift-giving and rituals associated with the winter solstice in ancient cultures, including Babylon.

5. Tree Worship: here are biblical passages condemning tree worship practiced in ancient Israel and neighboring cultures.

Tree worship throughout history

Tree worship has been practiced in various cultures throughout history. Here are some examples:

1. Ancient Mesopotamia: Trees held symbolic significance in Mesopotamian religion, particularly in Sumerian and Babylonian cultures. Sacred trees were often associated with gods and goddesses, and rituals were performed in their honor.

2. Ancient Egypt: Trees, particularly the sycamore fig tree, were revered in ancient Egyptian religion. The sycamore tree was associated with the goddess Hathor, who was often depicted as a tree goddess.

3. Celtic Culture: Trees held spiritual significance in Celtic religion, where certain types of trees, such as oak, ash, and yew, were considered sacred. Druids, the priests of ancient Celtic societies, conducted rituals and ceremonies in sacred groves of trees.

4. Norse Mythology: In Norse mythology, the world tree Yggdrasil was central to the cosmology of the Norse religion. Yggdrasil was believed to connect the nine worlds of Norse mythology and was considered the axis of the universe.

5. Greco-Roman Culture: Trees were associated with various deities in Greek and Roman mythology. For example, the laurel tree was sacred to Apollo, while the oak tree was associated with Zeus and Jupiter.

6. Indigenous Cultures: Many indigenous cultures around the world have practiced tree worship, viewing trees as manifestations of the divine or ancestral spirits. Examples include indigenous cultures of North America, Africa, and Australia.

7. Hinduism: Trees are considered sacred in Hinduism, with certain species such as the banyan tree and the pipal tree being revered. Trees are associated with various Hindu deities and are often sites of worship and pilgrimage.

8. Shintoism: In Shintoism, the indigenous religion of Japan, trees and forests are considered sacred and are believed to be inhabited by kami, or spirits. Sacred trees are often marked with shimenawa, sacred ropes, and are sites of worship and reverence.

These are just a few examples of cultures throughout history that have practiced tree worship. The specific beliefs and practices associated with tree worship vary widely across different cultures and religious traditions.

Overall, while the statement raises some valid historical points about ancient Mesopotamian religion and winter solstice customs, it also contains speculative interpretations and assumptions about the origins and symbolism of modern Christmas traditions.

In 2014 we cleaned out the garage and found this hiding in the bin (which we quickly threw in the trash). This symbol was placed on top of a pagan tree for many years, NOT knowing it was the 8-pointed star of Ishtar the queen of heaven, or Astarte, the Babylonian goddess! Oh, how we ignorantly had demonic symbols in the home every year, and sadly our Christian family/friends/pastor (who did know it was pagan) didn't love us enough to tell us the truth. We NOW know that these objects and symbols offend the Creator! We will stand and proclaim your true name “YaHuWaH”, and will defend your ToRaH!

YaHuWShuWA 24:15 "Joshua"

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve YHWH, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the ALuWHiYM's which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the ALuWHiYM's of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve YaHuWaH

Marry Martinmas

Martinmas, also known as the Feast of St. Martin, is a Christian feast day observed on November 11th each year. It commemorates the life and deeds of St. Martin of Tours, a revered Christian saint who lived in the 4th century CE. St. Martin is known for his acts of charity and kindness, as well as his role as a bishop in the early Christian Church.

The festival of St. Martin is celebrated in various ways around the world, particularly in European countries where St. Martin is venerated. Some common customs and traditions associated with Martinmas include:

1. Lantern Processions: One of the most iconic traditions of Martinmas is the lantern procession, where children and sometimes adults carry lanterns through the streets at dusk. This symbolizes the light of St. Martin shining in the darkness.

2. Feasting: Martinmas is often celebrated with communal feasts and gatherings, where traditional foods such as roasted goose, duck, or other poultry are served. These feasts symbolize abundance and gratitude for the harvest.

3. Charitable Acts: In honor of St. Martin's spirit of generosity, many communities engage in acts of charity and giving during Martinmas. This may include donating food, clothing, or other necessities to those in need.

4. Church Services: Martinmas is also observed with special church services and religious ceremonies, where St. Martin's life and teachings are remembered and honored.

5. Cultural Events: In addition to religious observances, Martinmas is celebrated with various cultural events and activities, such as concerts, performances, and art exhibitions inspired by St. Martin's legacy.

The essence of the holiday—marking the end of the fall harvest and the advent of snowy weather—reminds us that through all of life’s outward changes we maintain within us the warm light of our spirit. Martinmas dates back to the Middle Ages and the veneration of St. Martin, a 4th-century bishop who founded an abbey in Tours, France. Martin was a Roman horse soldier who converted to Christianity; according to legend, one wintry day he encountered a shivering beggar and cut his cloak in half to give the poor man warmth. That night, Martin had a vision of Jesus wearing Martin’s divided red cloak.

1. End of Fall Harvest and Advent of Snowy Weather: Martinmas indeed marks the end of the fall harvest season and the onset of colder, snowy weather in many regions. It is a time when people gather to celebrate the bounty of the harvest and prepare for the winter months ahead.

2. Veneration of St. Martin: Martinmas traces its origins to the veneration of St. Martin of Tours, a 4th-century Christian bishop who founded an abbey in Tours, France. St. Martin is revered for his acts of charity and compassion, particularly the famous story of him encountering a beggar on a wintry day and sharing his cloak with the poor man.

3. Legend of St. Martin: According to legend, St. Martin was a Roman horse soldier who converted to Christianity. The story of him encountering a shivering beggar and sharing his cloak is one of the most well-known and cherished legends associated with St. Martin. In the legend, St. Martin's act of kindness is rewarded with a vision of Jesus wearing the half-cloak he gave to the beggar, symbolizing divine approval of his compassionate actions.

Martin is now the patron saint of tailors, as well as that of France. Today in many European countries, the Martinmas festival culminates in a lantern walk at night, followed by a bonfire (origin bonefires) and songs. Traditionally the lanterns were carved out of newly harvested squash gourds, and illuminated with a candle—the origin of the American jack-o-lantern—but can also be made of paper or jars. The lanterns and the bonfire symbolize light in the darkness of winter and give hope to the poor through the good deeds of St. Martin.

In the wine-producing regions of Germany Martinmas was the day for the first drinking of the new wine, and the feasting in general on his day gave the saint the reputation of a guzzler and a glutton; it even became customary to speak of a person who had squandered his substance in riotous living as a Martinsmann. From a child’s point of view, the best part of Martinmas may be the sweet treats at the end of a lantern walk. In some countries, children go from house to house with their lanterns, “begging” for treats—certainly the origin of our modern Halloween ritual.

Word Origin

We know in the ABaRiY language the name Martin is מרדכי (H4782) MaRDaKiY (little man / worshipper of Mars / planet worship or Astrolary). In the Jewish community Martin or Martinez is a variation of the Hebrew name Mordecai. Mars’s festivals at Rome occurred in the spring and the fall—the beginning and the end of both the agricultural and the military seasons. A two-horse chariot race was held in the Campus Martius, and marked the purification of the arms of war and their storage for the winter.

Under Augustus the worship of Mars at Rome gained a new impetus; not only was he traditional guardian of the military affairs of the Roman state but, as Mars Ultor (“Mars the Avenger”), he became the personal guardian of the emperor in his role as avenger of Caesar. His worship at times rivaled that of Capitoline Jupiter, and about AD 250 Mars became the most prominent of the di militares (“military gods”) worshiped by the Roman legions. In literature and art he is hardly distinguished from the Greek Ares.

This holiday feast-day originated in France (early 12c) from the Roman Catholics, and is yet another tradition that does NOT originate back to the melanated people of the scriptures. The pagan ritual of lantern lighting has been adopted by obviously Christianity (a pagan religion), and various cultures/races. In several cultures (and again NOT Hebrew) lantern lighting is considered good luck to release a sky lantern, and many Thai people believe they are symbolic of problems and worries floating away.

We who are in truth have ShaLuWM in YaHuWaH thus having no desire for good luck or to put faith (trust) in luck. We reverence and serve YaHuWaH simply because we love the Creator and NOT for the material, financial, or relationship BaRuWKs he may decide to give us. Now that we know the truth, and claim to follow the truth, if it’s NOT in scripture YaHuWaHs elect should not take part in it.

The Christmas Spirit Song

The Hebraic scriptures remind us NOT to believe every spirit but to try or test the spirits to see if it is YaHuWaH. Many people and churches justify why they celebrate the pagan holiday of Christmas, but who gave them (or anyone) the authority to add to the word of YaHuWaH (DaBaRiYM 4:2, 12:32 "Deuteronomy" and MaShaL 30:5-6 “Proverbs”)?

These are FACTS:

1. NEVER once in scripture do we read where the Hebrew prophets of old celebrated his birthday let alone any pagan traditions of the masses.

2. NEVER once do we read in scripture where the Hebrews celebrated any pagan traditions of the masses. They walked with him for 3 years before his death and NEVER once do we read in any of their writings where they took part in pagan traditions of the masses.

3. NEVER once in scripture are we commanded to celebrate Christmas or ANY of the various pagan holidays or deities of the heathens.

4. We are commanded by the Creator YaHuWaH, NOT to add or remove from His word, so if it’s NOT in scripture we shouldn’t be adding things in to please our fleshly desires, especially when it comes to spiritual adultery (via pagan worship).

5. YaHuWaH is a jealous ALuWaH and He HATES pagan worship because it is spiritual adultery against him.

6. YaHuWaH divorced 10 out of the 12 tribes of YiSRAL (Israel) because of pagan idol worship/holidays which is spiritual adultery.

7. NEVER in scripture does YaHuWaH give any man, woman, or group of people the authority to change His word.

DaBaRiYM 4:2 “Deuteronomy”

2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of YaHuWaH your ALuWaH which I command you.

DaBaRiYM 12:32

32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt NOT add thereto, nor diminish from it.

MaShaL 30:5-6 “Proverbs”

5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Christmas and its connection to worship and controversy

Here are some lesser-known facts about the ancient origins of Christmas and its connection to worship, along with scholarly resources for further exploration:

1. Pagan Festivals: The timing of Christmas, December 25th, coincides with various pagan festivals celebrated around the winter solstice. These festivals, such as Saturnalia in Rome and Yule among Germanic tribes, involved feasting, gift-giving, and the lighting of candles or fires to mark the rebirth of the sun.

2. Christian Adoption: The early Christian Church adopted December 25th as the date for celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, likely to supplant pagan festivities with Christian ones. This strategic choice allowed for the integration of Christian beliefs with existing cultural practices.

3. Incorporation of Traditions: Many Christmas customs, such as decorating evergreen trees, exchanging gifts, and singing carols, have roots in pre-Christian pagan rituals. These traditions were assimilated into Christmas celebrations as Christianity spread throughout Europe.

4. Religious Significance: Despite its pagan origins, Christmas developed significant religious symbolism over time, emphasizing the birth of Jesus Christ as the central theme. The Nativity story, with its depiction of the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and the newborn Jesus in a manger, became central to Christmas observances.

5. Cultural Evolution: Christmas has evolved over centuries, incorporating elements from various cultures and traditions. Its celebration varies widely across different regions and communities, reflecting the diverse influences that have shaped its observance over time.

6. Date Controversy: The choice of December 25th as the date for Christmas is not universally accepted. While it is commonly celebrated as the birth of Jesus Christ, some scholars argue that this date was selected to coincide with pre-existing pagan festivals, such as Saturnalia and Sol Invictus, which were celebrated around the winter solstice.

7. Nativity Story Variations: The details of the Nativity story, including the presence of the Magi (wise men) and the timing of their visit, vary among the four canonical Gospels of the New Testament. Matthew and Luke provide different accounts, leading to various interpretations and traditions surrounding the birth of Jesus.

8. Pagan Influences: Many Christmas customs, such as decorating evergreen trees, exchanging gifts, and lighting candles, have pagan origins. These traditions were assimilated into Christmas celebrations as Christianity spread and adapted to local customs and practices.

9. Commercialization: The commercialization of Christmas, including the emphasis on shopping, gift-giving, and consumerism, has been criticized by some as detracting from the holiday's religious significance. Critics argue that the focus on materialism can overshadow the spiritual and charitable aspects of Christmas.

10. Global Variations: Christmas is celebrated in diverse ways around the world, with unique customs, traditions, and rituals specific to different cultures and regions. From the festive markets of Europe to the vibrant parades of Latin America, Christmas traditions reflect the rich cultural diversity of humanity.
