Do the public really know what they are celebrating when they rejoice to Santa Claus, trees, different colored light bulbs, angels, sugar canes, wreaths, hollys, rein deers and the likes? Do they care? Do so-called Christians care? We will take a deep look into the world and Christmas and see if what they, the world, are celebrating is what we, the Christians are celebrating. I'm telling you this to get you angry. By getting you angry, I'm hoping you'll do some of your own research past this writing. I'm hoping still, that this will be enough to convince you to get on the right tract or lose out on your salvation.First of all let me give you a reference which comes from Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Ditionary of (c) 1969. The definition of Santa Claus is that he was a 4th century Bishop of Myra from Asia Minor (Turkey). A saint to Children. His name was called St. Nicholas. It is said that a poor family owed a debt which the father could not pay to the government. If the father could not pay, then one of his daughters would be taken in the debt's place. When the Bishop heard of this he sneaked to the open window of the father's house and tossed in a bag of money. The father woke and saw no one except the money. which he used to pay the debt. Soon another debt was due for the other daughter, and again the Bishop tossed more money through the open window only this time to be caught. He asked the father not to tell anyone because everyone who was poor would be looking for him to help them. Of course the father didn't keep the secret. The word got out, and others began to seek help from the Bishop and his church. He provided what he could to all who was in need.
At his death they labored him as a saint and started celebrating his birthday. The celebration spreaded throughout Asia Minor and into Russia. Russia put him in a red garment and gave him a sledge with a deer pulling it. Later the celebration came to the United States where american artists went berserk. They greatly increased his beards, fatten him up to obesity, greatly enhanced his suit, gave him more deers with names, painted him a big ole red nose with bright red shinny cheeks. They called him Santa Claus, another name for Saint Nicholas, but now a totally different person.
Santa is a God! They gave him magical powers to fly. Even supernatural powers to deliver toys to any young child anywhere in the world. He no longer was the hero of Asia Minor (Turkey) alone, but became the worlds perfect loving jolly guy everyone loves and cherishes. Lights of all colors and other trinkets, to include from the cheap, to the most expensive gifts suddenly flooded the markets into department stores every where.
The Catholic Church introduced a Christ-Mass. This was a celebration for the birth of Christ, our savior and reedemer. It was a time when Saints (saved Christian) would give gifts to each other because God gave his greatest gift to us that we might be saved. This was held around the 6th of January which is believed to have been the birthday of Saint Nicholas also. This day is now called "Old Christmas." Later the Catholic Church changed it to the 25th of December to SEPARATE it from the 6th of January. Why the 25th is puzzeling. A lot of weird reasoning is behind this, of none made absolutely clear.
The move was too late. The damage to the mind of millions were done. The Santa Claus theme and excitement followed. The Santa Claus stuff got mixed up in the Christ celebration like Easter,and we continued celebrating santa's stuff with the real Christmas. Santa Claus over shawdowed Jesus because the majority wanted nothing to do with the true Christ. Christ-Mass became Christmas, but only in name. Jesus went out the back door, even for Christians and the Catholic Church. Santa Claus became the very special highlight on Christ's day of celebration. Christians gift given got merged with the sinful world and became a part of it. Santa Claus became the savior for all children and adults. He was the shinning example, not Christ. Santa was able to supply you everything you needed, not Christ.
Santamas!
The true name for the wordly The world now goes berserk with this Santa Claus Santamas celebration. Manufacturers and department stores make and sell all kinds of wordly products and ornaments to make this day a "MERRY" occassion for the world. Did you know that some parts of the world are celebrating Christmas and do not believe in Christ as the savior, the Son of God? Did you know that nearly 200 million people right here in the United States are also celebrating Christmas, and do not believe in God nor Jesus. You say, I don't believe that! Well, do you believe this? Jesus said, John 14:14, "If ye love me, keep my commandments." The majority will not serve Christ. They can care less about him. Christ puts a dent in their parties, shows, alcohol, and sinful gift giving and life styles. John 8:24 Jesus said, I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. This scripture is to all Santamas lovers! This also includes part time so-called Christians who turn on God every time, Easter, Halloween, or Valentine celebrations comes along. They pretend they love him between holidays, but then curse him before his face when these holidays comes along. James, the brother of Jesus put it plain and clear. James 1:8 says, "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." This means that Church going people who are still sharing Jesus with Satan are out of touch with Christ. Plenty people think they are Christians, but are not. I hope this is making you angry. If it is, praise God, I'am accomplishing something. The truth shall make you free.
Real Christians should know better Lets not forget the lies being told to the children. So-called godly parents are helping the world push the Santa lies on innocent children by telling them there is a Santa Claus who will brings them gifts because he cares so much for them. The lies and stupidity do not stop. They continue on with the trees, the lights, the talking deers, lying Christmas stories about Santa, Krist Kringle, talking deers like Rudolph and so on. Oh yes! The Church even sang Santa songs mixed with Christ's service. Songs like, Chestnut roasting on an open fire, Deck the Hall, Jingle Bell, Dashing through the snow, Sleigh Bells ringing, Merry Christmas Baby, On The First Day Of Christmas. It goes on and on and on. --I sure hope you're getting this! I'm trying to get you mad so you can hate sin. Please get mad, will Ya!
The lies and so-called Christians In John 8:44 Jesus says this about liars. He said, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.." This means that if you are willfully lying, you are of the devil. Case closed. No "BUT, BUT!" The Bible says that a lyier will not tarry in God's sight. This means that all liars will go to hell no matter how good down here they might appear to be, or how much Church going you do. God said he is not a respector of persons.
Summary We need to stop trying to out think God, or thinking these holidays are so insignificant to God that he pays what we do know mind. But he does. God will not go back on his word just because you like doing a thing. He said that the Church must separate itself from the world and not mix in. We are not like the world. We are a different people called out from the rest of the world to be a special people to God, just like Israel was when he call them out of Egypt. Our disobeying are the direct reasons why so many prayers are not answered. You are not truthful with God. He knows you will turn your back on him with every santanic holiday that comes along. That's why the sickness goes on, the problems goes on, and the world keep getting worst and worst.
For all those who call themselves Christians who still love Santa Claus, trees, wreaths, lights, candy canes, deers, etc, you must reframe from doing so. Stay only with Christ and gift given. Nothing is wrong with hanging bows on your doors or putting up nativity scenes with lights inside of them. But reframe from decorating your houses with different colored light bulbs and candles. Your love for this is a trick of the devil, and has nothing to do with Christ.
I Won't wish you a "MERRY" Christmas like the world, but I do hope you have a "JOYOUS CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!.
