What is this December 25th holiday? Why the presents, reindeer, stockings, and tree? Do these all add up to a recipe for something and if so what are the ingredients making?
Imagine I took a recipe for chocolate cake, and put liquid paper to cover over and erase the title of the recipe. So, rather than a title and ingredients the sheet of paper had only ingredients listed. Then suppose I followed the instructions of that recipe, would I be baking a chocolate cake or would it be something else? It would still be chocolate cake, right? We agree about that, I'm sure.
Now what if someone found my recipe and then wrote a new title on the sheet of paper calling it "breakfast cereal." After following the recipe would they have breakfast cereal or would they have chocolate cake?
I guess my point is that when you follow a recipe you make a dish and that dish is the same no matter what you call it later. The recipe ingredients define what it is, not the title on the recipe.
So, lets look at the ingredients of Christmas to see if it really is a Christian celebration.
I haven't even gotten around to the Yule log, flying reindeer and the shaman they carry in the sled, nor have I mentioned the sick sexual meanings behind the red holly berries and the white berries of the mistletoe.
Simply put, the celebration that takes place on December 25 is an unholy pagan druid festival and witches sabbath. All the ingredients are there and in place in a comprehensive step by step process that recreates an abomination in the sight of God.
When we assemble all the parts of the recipe, and then write a different name on the recipe, we are not fooling anyone. Just like the chocolate cake recipe, we are still celebrating as a pagan even as we try to re-label it for Christian consumption.
So repent therefore, because all the dead in Christ and those still living in Christ, will be raised to life at the Last Day, receiving life everlasting. All the rest of the dead, who rejected Him or did not know Him, will also be raised and live at the end of the Millenial Kingdom. In that Day the penitent will receive life everlasting; and the wicked, condemnation forever separated from God. This is the second chance for those who will choose Christ and repent; or the second death for all those who will not accept the Truth nor will they repent of their evil deeds. So yes, fear Him who has given you life, because He can also take it away. ~ Timothy [Letters from God and His Christ - Volume 3 - The Word of God is Truth...Leading to Life]
