Good stuff! I'm not Catholic, but I am a Christian and biblical creationist, as well as lover of history, and this is spot on. The attacks on Christmas have two main sources: one being pagans, and the other being Protestants, beginning around the time of the reformation, when many went overboard and rather than simply rejecting some of the wrong teachings of the Catholic Church at the time (most of which have since been abandoned) they rejected ANYTHING to do with Catholicism, which included Christmas. And it was actually Martin Luther who defended Christmas, and fought to keep it as something that all followers of Christ should celebrate. There may be doctrinal differences, and even the apostle Paul said "here we ALL only know in part", so no matter how knowledgeable we are, there is stuff we don't know. But we can still be united in the one thing that matters, which is salvation through the sacrifice of Christ the Messiah, who was given to all men, and we can unite as brothers in Christ and celebrate his birth. Catholic, Protestant, Jew... If you call Jesus Christ the son of God and your Lord and Savior, you're my brother/sister! Love you, fam!
GOD nor JESUS commanded us to recognize His birth as a holiday or celebration and neither did the apostles do so or celebrate such. This holiday is man-made, not GOD-made and should not be embraced as such. Since Christmas is celebrated on December 25th why would we discuss any other date? lol that’s ridiculous and is not a valid reason for saying Christmas is not pagan, it IS: “If the root is pagan, the fruit is not holy.” You all have been warned, so you will be held accountable for the truth you hear but reject it.
Not true lol and believing such things will have you deceiving yourself and others so accept GOD’s truth however He reveals it, but make sure it’s Him and not you and your own desires.
@stabord- It is actually two Pagan Roman Feasts, not one. "Saturnalia" was originally held from December 17 to December 23. In 274 AD, Emperor Aurelian instituted "Sol Invictus," on December 25 (date of the Winter Solstice on the Roman calendar), which was added onto the already existing pagan festivities, and was welcomed as a sort of continuation to Saturnalia. Many of these pagan festivals would lose popularity, or die out over time, only to be revived, for one reason or another, by Roman Emperors, like Aurelian, or Julian The Apostate. Sometimes, this was done, to try and counter the ever growing influence of Christianity in the Roman Empire, which was not going away, despite bans & persecutions.
@@ChristianSaintSavior There are probably hundreds of pagan “holidays” around the world; I was pointing out that most people don’t even know what they’re critiquing because they probably are only thinking of one in specific. So how can Christians have ripped them all off?
I always wonder if anyone notices that it is CHRIST’S MASS and not Chris’s mess!? Sort of like it’s PROTESTant and not PRAHtestant. If the former, then what are they PROTESTing against if not Christ’s Church? And what hope have they in the next life when God said “Except you eat My Body and drink My Blood, there is NO LIFE IN YOU,” then who is He referring to when He spoke about those who shout, “Lord! Lord?” and then says He never knew you?
The Roman feast was Satunalia, not a Sol Invictus, however without addressing when the Roman census was held, or the cult of Mithra you’re just counting numbers. However considering that many national holidays like the Queen’s/King’s Birthday is celebrated on the same day every year regardless I can’t see what the problem of a nominated day.

The problem with the saturnalia claim is that one, it was already over prior to Christmas, so if Christmas really was an attempt to copy a pagan holiday and replace it with a Christian one as they claim, then they didn't do a very good job since they didn't schedule Christmas until after saturnalia was already finished. But the bigger issue is, if Christmas really was a copy of a pagan festival, then why was Emperor Aurelian apparently unaware of this? Because he created Sol Invictus as a substitute for Christmas. If Christmas was a substitute for a pre-existing pagan holiday, why didn't he just say so? He wouldn't have felt the need to create an entire new holiday. Which by the way, he is correct on stating that it was created 274 AD, But there was no evidence of it ever actually being celebrated until 352ad, at least150 years after The early church had already been celebrating Christmas.
@@ChristianSaintSavior very interesting. But, my view what difference does it make🤷🏻♂️ Nominated day. Surely on your local yearly calendar you have nominated days this little connections to the actual day, like the Queen’s Birthday holiday? Saying the actual day has significance because of a date on the calendar is like the Y2K people. This is just a traditional day of celebrations, end of story.
I wanna hear about the stars. Somehow they align with all this. The three kings were three stars or somthing. Pagans have a convincing story behind this and the death and resurrection of Jesus relating to astrology. I would like to hear this debunked because it’s pretty convincing
Please read the account of Blessed Ann Catherine Emmerich on the nativity. You will have your answers. Spoiler alert- it has nothing to do with astrology
Why are these women talking over the Cardinal! i wonder. This is a solemn Mass of The birth of the Savior of the world, not a political forum. Also the presence of figures representing political figures is a concern as they are not representing themselves. ✝️✝️Christ is King, no human kings.
Isaiah 45 ; I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Even if it's pagan, wherever God's name is inserted is automatically for God😂. Most people know this and would still underestimate how powerful our creator is. Like a gang leader who dominates a new turf.
Thanks for making it light on this complex and perplexing video - monologue. Since God created the Earth and established all the pivotal points of the seasons, why is it so hard for some people to understand that God would choose the most meaningful time for JESUS to be born? Pagans were not stupid; they noticed the repetition of the difference in the length of daylight and knew the critical points when the day was the shortest, the longest and when it was at par with the night in March and September. Pagan’s celebrated the wisdom of God and God was probably very happy with their learning skills even though they knew nothing about the Son of God Jesus’ coming into the world. Is it wrong to think that God deliberately chose those specific times for John and Jesus to be born? In doing so, God showed to the nations of the world that HE is in control and HE owns all the important dates regarding the passage of time! I am just wondering, what kind of days pagans celebrated at the Equator where the days and nights are the same length all year round. Did they use the changing positions of the constellations, or just divided their year into sunny and rainy seasons?
@@kostancijadegutyte184 Good point Konstanci , God is all knowing and all powerful so I always know everything is planned and I wouldn't doubt it. Merry Christmas to you and your family
Did Jesus tell the apostles to celebrate His birthday & did the apostles teach to celebrate His b-day? If it's not written in the word of God to do these things, probably safer not to do them.
So typing on TH-cam isn’t in the Bible. Why are you doing that? Did you eat breakfast today? Where is that in the Bible? Maybe safer not to do them. Literally backwards thinking as what you said and be turned against you in 5000+ ways. St Paul writes something that Jesus didn’t say in scripture. Paul, obviously believed in oral tradition. John writes NOT EVERYTHING is written. Yet you say it needs to be literally in pen to do.
@@SensusFidelium Where do you draw the line when doing things that aren't written in scripture? John 21:25 is not saying that you can make up your own stuff, God has given us everything He wants us to know in His word. Oral tradition that Paul speaks of was before the Bible was complete, it is complete now. The enemy wants you to believe that God has not given us everything He wants us to know, so he can insert his lies. Your reasoning sounds like what my 5yo would say when he was doing something that he knew he shouldn't be doing.
The love of God moved me to share this personal true testimony. God told me this story is important for the evil atheist demoncrats to hear but I hope it edifies all the super loving Christians as well as my fellow Saints and Trump supporters. I was doing my morning ocean swim in shallow water when I was attacked by a shark and I barely made it back to shore. A large part of my thigh was missing and I was losing so much blood...I knew I was a goner and would never be able to make it for help. But then out of nowhere a surfer showed up, he looked exactly like Jesus, the white version. On that day I witnessed one set of foot prints in the sand leading away from where I laid. I called out..."hey Jesus looking dude...are you just going to just leave me here"? And he said.."do you know how much you weigh...hell yeah". And then I died. But don't worry I came back three days later. Proof! How could I have written this if I didn't come back from the dead? The End. By the way, I did find the Jesus looking dude after I came back from the dead. Ironically his name was Jesus but with the Spanish pronunciation. He was in awe of my miracle recovery from death and has become one of my apostles. I am sure my story will be written about in about a hundred years. Now is a great time to get in on the ground floor...I am sure there is a lot of money to be made.
I would like to insist please let us know the references of who is talking . I will never follow what is not of God and Catholic many priest have been cancelled . Anyway this American preacher low key talking can never listen to
Im going to tell you this its nit the right time of year. I'm going to tell you this. Not the right at all. Look into the scriptures. You are going to understand. You will know that you're not telling the truth. You will understand that others in the church did things. You are going to be sirry. Furst of all HIS name wasn't Jesus byt YAHUSHA. The FATHER is YAHUAH. & The Spirit is RUACH ha qodesh. I want to tell you they are ALAHIM. Not God. God is a pagan word. Therefore, God is a pagan principality. Lord is baal in ancient Hebrew. Theyvdid speak a language in the beginning later designated as Hebrew. But nit modern Hebrew. Like they speak in Israel. Thats modern Hebrew. Modern Hebrew is Aramaic & Hebrew. I want to tell you this. They use the solar calendar. Not the kunar calendar or the Gregorian. In the beginning the following of YAHUSHA hamashiak the messiah was natsarim. Not christian. Christian was what the greeks called them. But they took the real names out of the scriptures 500 years ago. Under Constantine. There are people who already know. This is not the truth. The tree is not something the HOLY FATHER did. I mean YAHUAH ALAHIM. HE gave feasts of the Torah. They xover the birth death & resurrection. You see they are not lying about it. It dies say in scripture they will cekebrating these feasts. Not Christmas or Easter. I want you to understand that they do understand this was not the truth what you are speaking on. Because the nicolatians & others went against the WAY.
"…..unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you." Why are you so unbelieving like those jews and others followers saying "how can he give his flesh to eat"? Does this scandalise you? John 6: 48-58 48 I am the bread of life. 49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die. 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.” 52At this, the Jews began to argue among themselves, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” 53So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink. 56Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him. 57Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.”
If I may also ask, how much did St. Stephen err. in acts when he calls upon his Jewish kin to testimony Jesus Christ calling them ''Brothers and Fathers,'' and again when St. Paul calls Timothy a son of his own, and again, when St. Paul tells of the Corinthians that he has begotten them as a father in Christ Jesus, and once more, when St. Peter in his epistle calls Mark (his scribe) his own Son. How much further can we bring this, to not even call our own biological dads 'Father' or 'Papa'? I hope that you do not even hold to this extreme. If we are to give honor to the office of kings, principalities, and powers as we are commanded (Rom. 13:7 & 1 Pet. 2:17) in recognizing legitimate authority, then how much must we be insulting God if we say simply to those above us in society ''King, lord, my leader, and who I am subjected to'' instead if we address the lowliest when we call to our own fathers or those superiors ''Hey, Dad.'' It sounds so... backwards by this standard. I urge you to read this script with commentary from the Christian forefathers in faith and not come into your own interpretation or mere assent to someone's else point of view. This is just not the case in the way you've read it. Take in the whole picture and not bits. It otherwise makes the scriptures hard to read, easy to stumble, and hard to be retrieved from great error.
what do you call Father's Day then? Again, ripping verses out of context fails. The next line is call no man teacher (latin is doctor) I bet you call Doctors "Doctor". Didn't St Paul call Abraham "FATHER' 7 times in his epistle? Yep? I guess, according to you, Paul is burning. Our Lord "honor thy FATHER and mother" oh wait did He not get your memo?
We just going to ignore Jeremiah 10:1-4? It's not weird and it's not bs and it's not wrong. It is the result of cultures mixing. This is why I'm not religious. Many things were celebrated and sacred long before this priest claims. You have to respect where symbolism comes from but why would that mean you can't appreciate it anyway.
This is why I am religious. Because sectarians can't wait to take a verse and inject whatever meaning they want into it. (Forbidden btw, by 2 Peter 3:16) How does what the priest said ignore the verses you cited?
You know Christmas is Pagan, especially when the Roman Catholic Church says it's not. Christmas as a holiday did not exist until centuries after Jesus was born. Moreover, people did not celebrate birthdays in the first century, so Jesus certainly did not celebrate Christmas. The New Testament, however, does describe Him participating in one winter holiday known as Hanukkah today. Jesus was not born on the 25th of December, nor was he born in a stable and lay in a manger. Truth be told. May the Lord bless all to have a safe and healthy New Year-2024.
Christ is born, alleluia! Sacred heart of Jesus I place all my trust in you!
Amen

53So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.
56Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him. 57Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.”
If I may also ask, how much did St. Stephen err. in acts when he calls upon his Jewish kin to testimony Jesus Christ calling them ''Brothers and Fathers,'' and again when St. Paul calls Timothy a son of his own, and again, when St. Paul tells of the Corinthians that he has begotten them as a father in Christ Jesus, and once more, when St. Peter in his epistle calls Mark (his scribe) his own Son. How much further can we bring this, to not even call our own biological dads 'Father' or 'Papa'? I hope that you do not even hold to this extreme.
If we are to give honor to the office of kings, principalities, and powers as we are commanded (Rom. 13:7 & 1 Pet. 2:17) in recognizing legitimate authority, then how much must we be insulting God if we say simply to those above us in society ''King, lord, my leader, and who I am subjected to'' instead if we address the lowliest when we call to our own fathers or those superiors ''Hey, Dad.'' It sounds so... backwards by this standard.
I urge you to read this script with commentary from the Christian forefathers in faith and not come into your own interpretation or mere assent to someone's else point of view. This is just not the case in the way you've read it.
Take in the whole picture and not bits. It otherwise makes the scriptures hard to read, easy to stumble, and hard to be retrieved from great error.
what do you call Father's Day then? Again, ripping verses out of context fails. The next line is call no man teacher (latin is doctor) I bet you call Doctors "Doctor". Didn't St Paul call Abraham "FATHER' 7 times in his epistle? Yep? I guess, according to you, Paul is burning. Our Lord "honor thy FATHER and mother" oh wait did He not get your memo?
We just going to ignore Jeremiah 10:1-4? It's not weird and it's not bs and it's not wrong. It is the result of cultures mixing. This is why I'm not religious. Many things were celebrated and sacred long before this priest claims. You have to respect where symbolism comes from but why would that mean you can't appreciate it anyway.
This is why I am religious. Because sectarians can't wait to take a verse and inject whatever meaning they want into it. (Forbidden btw, by 2 Peter 3:16) How does what the priest said ignore the verses you cited?
You know Christmas is Pagan, especially when the Roman Catholic Church says it's not.
Christmas as a holiday did not exist until centuries after Jesus was born. Moreover, people did not celebrate birthdays in the first century, so Jesus certainly did not celebrate Christmas. The New Testament, however, does describe Him participating in one winter holiday known as Hanukkah today.
Jesus was not born on the 25th of December, nor was he born in a stable and lay in a manger.
Truth be told.
May the Lord bless all to have a safe and healthy New Year-2024.
Christ is born! Hallelujah!
The truth was just presented here in the video, but you still refuse to believe, may God have mercy on your soul.
Defeat the facts cited. Your bias against the Church isn't enough to withstand actual truth. (Tell that!)
So sad that you must attack the Church that Jesus founded on Christmas his birthday. May God have Mercy on you.
P.S. This homily was done in an Eastern Catholic Rite not the Roman Rite.
