Ok, now about xmas, which a lot of you will know about the pagan aspect, but I want to tie it up around denominational doctrine.
First, the ancient Romans celebrated the 'Saturnalia', where, for a 7day period, 17-24th Dec, they had wild orgies, & partied, & selected a slave to be king, for 7 days, & then be sacrificed on the 25th, which was winter solstice, on the Julian calander (now is 21st), same as throwing the yule log in the fire.
The Emperor Constantine, fearing for his life, as Vandals, Goths, Huns & Visigoths, were attacking Rome, he merged Christian & pagan belief together, to appease, so that everyone could worship their gods. Signified by many churches having Jesus, Mary & disciples with halos above their heads, so the sun god worshippers could have what the so called Christians had.
Constantine formed the Roman Catholic church, & started the Eucharist, & transubstantiation, of the round wafer, (literally believing it turns into Christ's body), which is eating human flesh, cannibalism. In the old testament, priest was Khan & their god was Baal, that's where cannibal came from. The catholics still parade around in white pointed hats & robes, similar to the KKK.
The Protestant churches had their own form of Eucharist, as well as most other denominations. By the way denomination comes from the Greek de- no & nomos- law, meaning no law, as men make their own.
This can all be summed up from 2Cor11v4 
For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it!

There are records of Christians celebrating Jesus' birth on December 25th before Constantine was born (e.g. in the Commentary on Daniel by Hippolytus of Rome - 202AD).

1 - We should be cautious against falling for the common anti-Christian strategy of claiming our traditions are derived from paganism, and

2 - God looks at the heart. So what is important about Christmas is what it means to the conscience of each Christian.

Romans 14:4-6 - Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it.

Merry Christmas.

Yes, another jesus....which they have well put up with ..a counterfeit....for 2000 years so far.  But when the TRUE LORD returns from Heaven it will all be changed...as HE establishes HIS Kingdom !!!  COME SOON LORD JESUS !!!

Wow! someone who agrees, hopefully not too many more, wouldn't want to get popular. Better to be hated for following truth, than be fitting in with what the world follows!

A perfunctory search will find out the Babylonian etc etc origins of x-mas.

Yeshua was born 2-3BC 9/11 as far as the star charts indicate.

The rest is the major components of 'the church' falling away. The great falling away is celebrated by x-mas, yule, halloween, and all that pagan stuff. Fairly obvious, especially considering the evergreens and the cakes for the queen of heaven. So sad.

@Revlori, I received notification that you responded to something in this thread but I can't find such, so cannot respond .. sorry

That's ok sister,I was just agreeing with you and I believe what you said was well spoken! let us stand strong together  this Christmas season, and know what Christmas really means and proclaim it!

(whatever history says .. rightly or wrongly .. Christmas for me is celebration of Jesus Christ's birth .. He came to give His sinless life on the cross to pay the debt aka price for mankind's sinfulness from Adam and Eve on .. He was named Immanuel aka Emanuel, meaning "God with us" .. Christ was/is Messiah, Lord and Saviour .. so, Christmas for me is all about the aforementioned, nothing to do with pagans or their celebrations .. as for the fun part of Christmas, Santa Claus and gift giving was originally St. Nicholas who was there for the poor as was good King Wencelas (spelling?) .. and although part of pagan worship, the Christmas tree to Christians is just a beautifully decorated tree which adds to the happiness of Christmas .. its lights cheer up the darkness and Christ is Light of the World, so maybe Christmas tree lights lighting up a darkened room can be a symbol or not  but certainly nothing to do with paganism .. so Christmas for me is spiritual around Jesus Christ Son of God and God Himself and Saviour of all mankind and around the fun part .. soooooooo, Merry Christmas to all .. Happy and Holy Christmas to all .)

The Lord's Supper was Galilean Seder at Passover

(on 14 Nisan while official Seder was on 15 Nisan).

At any rate, the third cup (the cup of redemption)

is what "communion" is supposed to be about as well

as the afikomen being the broken bread / body.

But try telling anyone that without anger. hate, getting thrown out of

church...

Oy!

You have adopted a persecution fantasy by confusing disagreement with hatred.

Well, let me "rain" on the parade here...

I can kill my spirit,...HOGWASH!!!

I'm a born again new creation in Christ, in the process of my "conception" my "spiritual" Father is the Holy Spirit and the Word of God is the "spiritual" ovum...  1 Pet 1:23

Why do I say it's HOGWASH, ...because to "kill" my new creation's "spirit,"  ...I have to be more powerful than God Almighty, ...THE Holy Spirit!!!

Ain't never gonna happen.....

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
