Oh come let us adore who?
And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy
God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and
worship them, I testify against you this day that ye
shall surely perish. As the nations which the LORD
destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish;
because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of
the LORD your God.
Deut. 8:19,20
Oh come let us adore who?
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him,
and shalt swear by his name. Ye shall not go after
other gods, of the gods of the people which are
round about you; For the LORD thy God is a jealous
God among you lest the anger of the LORD thy God
be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off
the face of the earth.
Deut. 6:13,14
Oh come let us adore who?
And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand
of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that
land unto a good land and a large, unto a land
flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the
Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and
the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Exodus 3:8
These were all SUN Worshipers

The history of Christmas dates back over 4000
years. Many of our Christmas traditions were
celebrated centuries before the Christ child was
born. The 12 days of Christmas, the bright fires, the
yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals (parades) with
floats, carolers who sing while going from house to
house, the holiday feasts, and the church
processions can all be traced back to the early
Mesopotamians.

First century believers, taught personally
by Christ, did not celebrate His birthday.
Second century theologians condemned the
thought. Only after severe persecution,
destruction and inaccessibility of biblical
scripture and the blending of pagan doctrine
with the worship of God was the Mithraic
celebration of December 25th proclaimed to
be "Christian" in nature.
.
The biggest holiday of the Christian year is
Christmas. Everything about this holiday is
steeped in pagan (other gods) tradition.
Santa Clause (a
mispronunciation of Saint
Nicholas) has pagan origins
as well. He originated as a
god of the hearth who
supernaturally traveled
around the world,
descended down chimneys
and left gifts according to a
child’s behavior. Food
offerings and gifts were left
to appease him.
The worship of the Sun is the center
The custom of the Christmas
tree was an extension of this
evergreen worship. It was
often brought into the house
and worshipped as an idol,
usually decked with fruit, as
food offerings, and with gifts
left under it for their gods.
Burning candles – mini suns –
were often placed on the limbs
and have been replaced by
lights in present days.
The worship of the Sun is the center
The mistletoe, which was sacred to
the Druids, was used to cast spells. It
was believed that a woman
underneath it was unable to resist
one’s sexual advances and thus the
custom of kissing someone who is
standing below it. Holly, and
evergreens in general, were
worshipped as symbols of life, and
fertility. They were often used to
make wreaths, which were to pay
homage to the circular sun, especially
during the winter months.

'Yule' is the Chaldee name for an 'infant' or 'little
child;' and as the 25th of December was called by
our Pagan Anglo- Saxon ancestors, 'Yule-day,' or
the "Child's day,' and the night that preceded it,
'Mother-night,' long BEFORE they came in
contact with Christianity, that sufficiently proves its
real character" (Two Babylons pp.93-94).

The image of mother with child in
her arms was so firmly entrenched
in the pagan mind that by the time
Christianity appeared on the scene
in 30 A.D., these statues and
paintings were merely renamed
and worshiped as the virgin Mary
with her god-incarnate son Jesus.
Thus, the pagan mother and child
entered Christianity as the Roman
Catholic worship of Mary with the
infant Jesus

Three Wise Men
2:11
And when they were come into
the house, they saw the young
child with Mary his mother, and fell
down, and worshipped him: and
when they had opened their
treasures, they presented unto him
gifts; gold, and frankincense, and
myrrh..
The worship of the Sun is the center
December 25th. There is no record of a December 25th
celebration of the birth of Christ in Rome earlier than
336. In Constantinople, no record of a celebration
before 378. In Alexandria, not before 400; and in
Jerusalem, not before 425.
The bottom line is that there are no reliable historical
documents that would place the birth of Jesus on
December 25th. There is overwhelming documentation
that the birthday of many of the sun gods of antiquity
was recognized as December 25th
The biggest holiday of the Christian year is Christmas. Everything
about this holiday is steeped in pagan tradition.
On December 25th “Natalis invicti solis,” or the
“birthday of the unconquerable sun,” was
celebrated. The winter solstice usually fell
before, or on, this day and Pagans celebrated
the victory of the sun over darkness and the
fertility it would bring to the earth as the days
began to lengthen.
The biggest holiday of the Christian year is Christmas. Everything
about this holiday is steeped in pagan tradition.
It is this birth -–the birth of the Sun and not the
Son – which is observed and revered on
December 25th. The same birth which the
Babylonians and Egyptians had worshipped in
earlier centuries. All the “church” did was to
simply replace the name of
Nimrod/Tammuz/Bacchus, etc. with that of
Jesus. “Ye worship ye know not what….” (John 4:22)
Our Christian ancestors knew better. The celebration
of December 25th was illegal in England. It was
outlawed in New England from 1649 to 1658. The
December 25th celebration was condemned for its
pagan roots by the Puritans, the Methodists, the
Quakers, the Amish, the Presbyterians, and the
Baptists. Why would they do that if there was not a
legitimate problem? Christmas was made a legal
holiday in Massachusetts in 1856.

The Day of December 25th
Most Christians say that it does not
matter what day we celebrate it, the day
does not really matter to God as long as
we honor Christ.

God is VERY specific about worship days
“Thus the heavens and the earth were
finished, and all the host of them. And on the
seventh day God ended his work which he
had made; and he rested on the seventh day
from all his work which he had made. And
God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified
it: because that in it he had rested from all
his work which God created and made.”
Gen 2:1-3

God is VERY specific about worship days
“Also on the tenth day of this seventh month
there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be
an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall
afflict your souls, and offer an offering made
by fire unto the LORD.
And ye shall do no work in that same day: for
it is a day of atonement, to make an
atonement for you before the LORD your
God .”
Lev. 23:27,28

God is VERY specific about worship days
“Fifty days from the offering of first fruits,
came the Pentecost, called also the feast of
harvest and the feast of weeks. The
Pentecost occupied but one day, which was
devoted to religious service. ”
PP pg 540.

Who is Behind all this?
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the
wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the
earth have committed fornication with her,
and the merchants of the earth are waxed
rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Rev.18:3
The largest “Christian
denomination in the world is the
Universal Church better known
as The Roman Catholic Church.
What she institutes, the rest of
the “Christian” world will follow.
Behold, every one that useth
proverbs shall use this proverb
against thee, saying, As is the
mother, so is her daughter.
Eze. 16:44

The winter solstice, another celebration of the
sun, fell just a few days earlier. Seeing that
pagans were already exalting deities with some
parallels to the true deity, church leaders
decided to commandeer the date and introduce a
new festival. . In 350 AD the Bishop of Rome,
Julius I, choose December 25th as the
observance of Christmas.

Because of pagan idolatrous practices, God cast the
Canaanites out of the Promised Land. They were
worshippers of Baal, or Nimrod, Tammuz, the sun
god, the pagan Messiah, the god of wine and revelry.
They worshipped the evergreen tree, and used it as a
symbol of their god. They observed December 25, in
worship of the waning sun, and their sun-god divinity.
This whole religious system stemmed from ancient
Babylon, the fount of all heresy and apostasy.

The very name "Christ-mas," combining the holy
name of Christ with the pagan mass, POLLUTES
and PROFANES Jesus’ holy name! The
celebration of these ancient pagan festivals,
calling them "Christian," is an abomination in the
sight of God! He will not accept such pagan,
superstitious worship!

Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the
heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of
heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Jer. 10:2
Oh come let us adore who?
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire:
and them that had gotten the victory over the beast,
and over his image, and over his mark, and over the
number of his name, stand on the sea of glass,
having the harps of God.
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God,
and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and
marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just
and true [are] thy ways, thou King of saints.
Rev. 15:2,3
