I heard about Santa when I was a little boy growing up in Southern Rhodesia. I also heard about the snow and the reindeer, etc. However, it was the middle of summer in our country, and I remember hearing people say it was \u201cA 100 degrees in the shade.\u201d (Fahrenheit). \u00a0Yet I heard about Santa, and the snow, and the reindeer, and the chimney, etc. Our chimney was too small for anyone to come down, and we never had any snow in our country, and we didn\u2019t have any reindeer either! So it all felt like \u201cfairy stories!\u201d<\/p>\n
Churches are also into all the \u201cfairy stories.\u201d There is no such word as \u201cChristmas\u201d in the Bible. That word may also be taking Christ\u2019s name in vain, because Jesus never gave authority for his name to be used in that way. Jesus never gave authority for the use of his name in the word \u201cChristian\u201d either. In fact that is opposite to what Jesus taught. Jesus said: \u201cMany shall come in my name saying \u2018I am Christ\u2019 and shall deceive many.\u201d (Matthew 24:5). When I was a kid, I too was deceived. I read in the Bible that the disciples were called \u201cChristians\u201d first in Antioch, but some \u2018unknown person\u2019 is not a credible witness. (Acts 11:26). Jesus said: \u201cBy the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.\u201d (Matthew 18:16). King Agrippa used the word \u201cChristian\u201c right in front of Paul, but Paul never used that word. (Acts 26:28). King Agrippa is not a reliable witness either. His ancestors tried to kill baby Jesus, they killed John the Baptist, they killed James, and wanted to kill Peter. Peter is the only disciple in the Bible to use that word \u201cChristian,\u201d and he uses it in connection with persecution. \u201cIf any man suffer as a \u2018Christian\u2019 let him not be ashamed, but glorify God on this behalf.\u201d (1 Peter 4:16). Peter got beaten by the leaders of Israel for believing that Jesus was the Christ. (Acts chapter 5). He got imprisoned a few times, and Herod wanted to kill him. (Acts chapter 12). Peter said: \u201cLove the brotherhood.\u201d (1 Peter 2:17). Jesus means \u201cSaviour\u201d and Christ means \u201cMessiah.\u201d There is only ONE Saviour and ONE Messiah, and that is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Faith in that name can cause the lame to walk, and dance with joy! (Acts chapter 3). All my life, I have basically had three teachers: 1. Church people. 2. The Doctor of the Bible School. 3. The Holy Spirit. I choose to follow the Holy Spirit, even though church people get very angry with me at times. I don\u2019t want to tell any lies to try and please people, I want to go to heaven one day! All liars are going to go to the lake of fire! (Revelation 21:8). There is also no such thing in the Bible as December the 25th<\/sup>. There is nothing in the Bible about the shepherds being with their sheep on a cold winter\u2019s night. A Rabbi on the internet said that the sheep in Israel only have babies in the springtime.<\/p>\n I am of the opinion that Jesus was born in the springtime in Israel. Let me give you my reasons. In Exodus chapter 12, God himself told Moses that His New Year starts 14 days before Passover. Then one year later at Mount Sinai, in Arabia, (Galations 4:25), God told Moses he must erect the tabernacle on the first day of God\u2019s New Year. (Exodus chapter 40).That was when the glory of God came down from heaven into the tabernacle. When Jesus got born, the angels sang: \u201cGlory to God in the highest.\u201d When Jesus got born, that is when the glory of God came down to earth in the form of a baby. \u201cA body hast Thou prepared me.\u201d (Hebrews 10:5). We met a preacher that went to heaven and back, and he said that Jesus was born at Passover, and died at Passover. I have never been to heaven and back, so I didn\u2019t argue with him, but it was in the \u201cspringtime\u201d that Jesus got born, not in the winter.<\/p>\n The Romans believed in the sun-god, and when the days got shorter in the winter, they thought that the sun-god was dying. So, 25th<\/sup> of December is the day of the re-birth of the sun-god according to Pope Gregory\u2019s Calendar. Sun worship is death penalty in the Bible. (Deuteronomy\u00a0 chapter 17). When the Israelites were in Egypt, God made the sun go dark, to show the Egyptians that the sun is not a god. (Exodus chapter 10). \u00a0So beloved, I urge you to follow the teachings of God as found in the Bible, and forget all the pagan stuff that comes out of Rome. Paul even wrote to the church in Rome and said to them: Be not conformed to the world (Rome), but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2).<\/p>\n Jesus told the religious leaders of his day that their traditions made the word of God of none effect. (Mark chapter 7). Most people seem to be very bound by their traditions. They make their traditions higher than the word of God. Beware. One day there will be a day of judgment. There are only two places to go: the new earth or the lake of fire. (Revelation chapter 21).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I heard about Santa when I was a little boy growing up in Southern Rhodesia.
