​Why Christians Should Not Celebrate Christmas

What we should note is that the Lord Jesus was born at night, when the shepherd grazes the flock in the field, and the angel told the shepherd about this great message.In Palestine, December is the middle of the rainy season, and the flock is locked up at this time. The shepherd will lock the flock between October and April. Generally, before October 15th, they will drive the flock back from the mountains and the wilderness to avoid hurting the flock in the cold and rainy season after October 15. Therefore, the birth of the Lord Christ cannot be at the end of December.

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place whileQuirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own town to register. (Luck 2:1-3 NIV)

This cannot happen in the winter. The ruler of Rome, the Saskatchewan, could not have registered his people in the cold winter. Because in the winter, the action is very inconvenient, so it is difficult for the people to obey the orders of the king.

The origin of Christmas

When did Christmas begin? Of course not from God! Christmas originated in the Ninglu era, and Ning Lu was the one who oversees the construction of the Tower of Babel. This is another reason why I don’t celebrate Christmas.

Thousands of years before the birth of Jesus Christ, many countries celebrated the birthday of the sun god on December 25. The widow Semiramis, is the mother of the sun god. She is revered as the queen, and her son is Tammuz, born on December 25.

According to the legend of religious belief at the time: the birth of Tammuz is a very magical story. Therefore, for centuries, people celebrated his birthday by banquet, eating and drinking, and drunkenness. This way of celebration has a lot to do with Tamos, who is a man who loves women, likes to drink, tells jokes, and is ridiculous. It is said that he loves everyone and everyone loves him, so on December 25th, all the pagans celebrated the birthday of the sun god Tammuz.

In the book "The TwoBabylons" by Alexandra Hislop, there are detailed records, and any famous encyclopedia also records these facts.Some people may say, "We live in the world of Gentiles. Therefore, we have no choice to follow the teachings and customs of the Gentiles." Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

You adulterous people,don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. (James 4:4 NIV)

Christmas: Catholic Festival

The another reason why I don’t celebrate Christmas is because it is a Catholic holiday.

Please read the Encycloclopedia Americana for Christmas and Catholicism:

"Christmas - According to many authoritative sources, the church in the early 1st century did not have this at all. Because Christians only commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ for the sins of the world, they never celebrated his birth. In the fourth century AD, this celebration was established. In the fifth century AD, the Western Church (Roman Catholic) ordered the day when Jesus celebrated the birth of their gods (Sol) forever, and also celebrated the birth of Jesus. The items of the festival, such as arbor trees, mistletoe, Christmas wood, banquet utensils, etc. came into being. The Christmas tree can be traced back to the Roman era, which was transmitted from Germany to Britain.”

The Encyclopedia Britiannica has the following saying about Christmas:

"Christmas, English Christmas means Mass for Christ. In the early days, the church did not have this."

Just by breaking the word Christmas into the analysis, you can know what it means - to make Mass for Christ. Mass is to pray, sing and chanting the souls of the dead. Christians born again and should not have anything to do with Mass. However, thousands of Christians congratulate each other with Merry Christmas. They did not notice that when they did this, they actually mixed this precious and sacred Christ with a pagan festival. Our Lord clearly teaches us that we cannot mix His name with any pagan festival or idol.

“ ‘As for you, people of Israel, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Go and serve your idols, every one of you! But afterward you will surely listen to me and no longer profane my holy name with your gifts and idols. (Ezekiel 20:39 NIV)

Christmas (let me emphasize again) is a Catholic holiday, from the paganism. The pagans of the Roman Empire celebrated the birth of their sun god on December 25. After the great victory of the Emperor Constantine in the Battle of Milvian Bridge, all the infidels in the Roman Empire were forced to wash into the church.

The church worshipped the Lord Jesus as the Son of God, and on December 25th, the pagan believers worshipped their sun god Tammuz. Therefore, Emperor Constantine came up with the idea: he set the day when the pagan worship of Tammuz was the day of the birth of Jesus Christ, and ordered a special mass on that day so that everyone could have fun together. Therefore, this pagan worship is logically brought into the church and crowned with the name of a “Christ-mass” (mass for Christ).

Yes, every time we say "Merry Christmas," we actually mix precious and sacred Christ with paganism.

World and Christmas

Another reason why I don’t celebrate Christmas is that Christmas belongs to the world. Our Lord has told us to say:"Do not love the world and the things of the world; if a person loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." (1 John 2:15)

The world hates the redemption of Christ and His blood. This is a fact we all know. If December 25 is the birthday of Jesus Christ, this should be not related to the world.

It is not necessarily Christians who celebrate Christmas. In non-Christian countries such as Japan, Poland, Russia, etc.The people also celebrated Christmas.Many people around the world, even if they don’t understand the Bible at all, don’t know Jesus Christ, they all eat and celebrate Christmas. To move Christmas from this world is as difficult as grabbing candy from a child.

He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight. (Luck 16:15)

Let us face the fact that the world and the idol of Christmas are combined. In Christmas, alcoholism is more than any holiday; Christmas banquets are more profligate than ever, does this prove that Christmas is not from God?

The world loves Christmas but hates Jesus Christ.
