So many find so much joy in the sights and sounds of December-especially, the arrival of Christmas. Along with green and red decorations, signs and posters featuring a certain jolly, red-robed gentleman, and music you just can not get out of your head, comes the perennial question: Is Christmas a pagan holiday?
Most don’t even care about the answer, but for those who take biblical faith seriously, it is a serious question-and a question in need of an answer. And we will answer that question here on Tomorrow’s World, straight from the pages of your Bible, right now.
Greetings, and welcome to Tomorrow’s World where we help you make sense of your world through the pages of the Bible! Today we’re going to tackle a question that seems to arise every December: “Is Christmas a pagan holiday?”
We’ll be examining the question honestly and openly, with a desire to orient our hearts and minds according to the advice of Jesus Christ as He taught us in Matthew 6 and verse 33 to
“seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.”
And the question is important. How we choose to honor the Father and His Son matters. As we will see in the inspired words of Scripture, our practices have a profound effect on our relationship with God and on the character we are forming for His use and purposes.
For literally hundreds of thousands of people who consider themselves sincere Christians, the Christmas season is among the most sacred.
It is a time for calling to mind the birth of Jesus Christ, the promised Savior of the world. Many attend religious services in December, devoted to remembering popular narratives of the birth of Jesus, whose birth is ostensibly celebrated on Christmas Day itself.
And many of us have many pleasant memories associated with the Christmas season. In fact, celebrated as it is all over the world, it would be impossible for me to cover in a program such as this one ALL the many customs that individuals across the globe use to make the season special. So, permit me to focus a bit on those customs I, as an American, am more familiar with.
Our cities and even individual homes are often decorated with special reminders of the season-such as nativity scenes, branches or wreaths of holly, and Christmas trees decorated with tinsel of silver and gold. Many will have bought or personally crafted presents for their friends and family members, who will sometimes travel long distances to reunite for a few evenings, enjoy Christmas dinner together, and exchange presents and pleasantries. And many will seek to sneak a kiss from someone while catching them standing under mistletoe.
Of course, some children will be told the night before that their presents are being brought to them from the North Pole by Santa Claus, or “St. Nick,” as the adults wink to each other with a knowing eye.
In the morning, the children enjoy tearing into their presents to see what “Santa” brought them, and some families will head to religious services to hear a message related to the birth of Jesus-especially those who are concerned that commercialism is crowding out what they believe to be the real meaning of Christmas: The message that God sent His Son into the world on Christmas Day, born of the Virgin Mary to be the Savior of mankind.
There’s more that I could say, but hopefully this captures the popular spirit of the Christmas season. Yes, it is a stressful time for many. Sometimes family gatherings are a source of anxiety, and buying gifts for one another can seem a burdensome obligation-especially when the credit card bill begins to reveal the damage of our attempts at merrymaking.
However, I want to acknowledge that many joyous memories tend to be associated with Christmas and the Christmas season. I, myself, as a child and young man participated in these things. I remember the joys of receiving gifts and buying gifts for others. I don’t know if you can see it very well, but these old, blurry pictures are of me as a small child, enjoying his brand new Christmas presents.
You know, I remember seeing once, as a teenager, a small statue depicting Santa kneeling at the cradle of what was, ostensibly, the “Baby Jesus.” And I was moved-I felt at the time that it was a nice way of trying to point out what I thought was the more important aspect of the Christmas season. I’ve even played the part of Joseph once in a Christmas choral performance.
In other words, I’ve been there; I’ve done that.
I mention these things at the beginning of our discussion to highlight a crucial fact. As we tackle our question today-“Is Christmas a pagan holiday?”-we must keep in mind: None of this is relevant.

it is a pagan as a toter pole
Jesus Christ is a pagan name his new is yahshua
*Colossians 2:16* "Let no man judge you in respect of an holy day, new moon .."
*Colossians 3:17* "Do all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ".
*Matthew 18:19* "Whatever you shall agree concerning a thing is agreed in heaven".
We celebrate Jesus not gods. The world stands at attention for Jesus on Christmas. *Imagine that everyone had to stay at home because Gaypride have declared some days as their public holiday??* How will you feel as a Christian?
Satanists are not happy everyone is going on a holiday because of Christians. They want to steal it. Their father is a thief and a liar and deceiver.
*Christians, you are being tricked.*
Daniel 7:25 is being fulfilled.
I don't pay people to be wrong.
@@pastorpeteonthestreet3112 it's a paradise tree used in Adam and Eve plays, decorated with apples because that was a fruit that preserved well into winter.
We stopped this pagan Christmas in 2012 thank Yeshua for showing us the truth.
I used to be a pagan. You did what is right.
EXACTLY THE SAME YEAR WE DID.
@@melbeasley9762 Pagans view the world as a place of joy and life, not of sin and suffering. We believe that the divine is here with us in the natural world, not in some faraway place in the sky. We hold a deep reverence for nature and the earth. Pagans tend to be earth conscious.
My husband and I have woken up through our serious walk the past couple years. This year is the first that we are not celebrating the holiday. I have gotten rid of the holiday items and still in the process of doing so. I repented of my sin for celebrating the holiday in the past all the years that I have and teaching the tradition to my kids. I'm now trying to teach them the right way so they don't carry on with the same ungodly tradition with thier kids. Thank you for your insight on this matter and may it help others to know where they are going wrong like we have!!
Before you go down that road watch this:

I haven't kept Christmas and I consider not keeping it to be a major blessing. I am one of the least stressed out person this time of year! We give all year, not grudgingly nor in the public eye but the way God intends us to (without our left hand knowing what the right is doing-Matthew 6:3. And we stay away from holidays rooted in paganism which God condemns. I admire you for stepping out in faith and making a change in your life. It is not easy at first, but it is that narrow road that leads to life and things will be more and more fulfilling even in this life for years to come. I hope all goes well for you, Vicky, and for your children. You are making the right choice and following God's ways.
My father is a JW christian. It made it easier for me to not celebrate holidays as I didn’t celebrate at the age of 8. My parents just took us on vacations. I learned a lot of holidays and birthdays has pagan roots.
@@InspiringPhilosophyI saw your name and instantly Colossians 2:8 hit my spirit
I grew up with celebrating Christmas. It was always my favorite time of season. I had read the Bible several times and apparently I had veil over my eyes. One day I said prayer and asked God for the truth and there it was. I had read it but never saw it. Jeremiah 10 .
I had to make a choice. My favorite time of year or God.
My mind tried to get me to do usual excuses but there it was truth right there. I chose God.
I asked for the truth and he gave it to me and am forever grateful. I pray that others can see the truth.
I've always felt the same way but I also PRAYED FOR TRUTH and I was granted it and I'm so thankful for GOD'S TRUTH !!! I look at the lights and see the people spending there time buying for one another but I chose to WORSHIP THE MOST HIGH GOD and not practice mans ways.
The good thing is we can use this time of year to speak about Jesus and remind them of our love and saviour Yahsua. Bless you all 👪 of God Amen
Jeremiah 10 is about an ancient holiday celebrating the death and rebirth of Tammuz from the mystery religions of Mesopotamia.
Amen❤️
The Jeremiah passage speaks of the creation of a carved wooden idol made in the image of a pagan god, not a Christmas tree. The Christmas tree tradition originated in Germany thousands of years after Jeremiah's lifetime.
Thank you! My children and I haven’t celebrated Christmas in 3 years. I’m teaching them that we do however celebrate Jesus every day and that every day is holy unto the Lord!
You have to be careful with the words that you use because God gives us Holy Days to keep in the Bible. The video mentions this towards the end.
@@Kshais but Christmas is not one of those days. Even tho there are Holy days to be observed, Romans 14:5-12 does say that everyday is holy unto the Lord. So no I don’t have to be careful what I say bc I said nothing wrong.
The question was perfectly answered and explained biblically. Easter was the first holiday I discovered was totally pagan so I gave that up many years ago. I have now studied all holidays and due to their pagan roots no longer celebrate christmas, thanksgiving, valentines day, halloween, etc. and I have never been happier. Great video.
Me too.
If you want more celebration dates, see all the UN, has gather calling them, special celebration dates.
You are correct. I was pagan for 40 years. Easter is a celebration of the Anglo Saxon Goddess Eostre. It is a fertility celebration. Valentines day is the day the God Vali shot the God of Winter with an arrow (Representing a shaft of sunlight) as vengence for Baldur, God of the Summer Sun who was killed by Hothar through the intervention of Loki, the trickster. Halloween is a celebration of the dead.
Amen
@@melbeasley9762good info thank you!
I have never had the feeling that celebrating Christmas was right , it has never sat well with me . I so admire the people that managed to exscape this holiday . Not managed to escape this yet , go along with it, to keep others happy . I have to add that I do love Jesus , pray he understands my situation , and a lot more people in the same mind set as I am . I have found things more difficult this year , with all the things that are happening in our dark world . ♥️🙏
I am so thankful that you have made this so clear to us. So many are so stress this time of year for all the wrong reasons.
This is a question that has never been accurately explained until today.Thank You Sir.I will be sharing this with my grown daughters to make their own decision but my own has been made.Much appreciated.
Also check out the channel Inspiring Philosophy who has detailed videos on the subject. Short answer: Nothing to do with paganism. Even if it was repurposed from pagan traditions (and its not), there is nothing in the Bible that is against such a repurposing. Look at both sides of the debate and make a decision. Whether you celebrate or not it comes under the freedom in Christ.
It’s still not explained, people are not reAlizing by denouncing Christmas, they’re also denouncing Christs birth which is very bad the USA prospered off the old ways like celebrating Christmas as christs birthday an now look at what all this woke is doing. It’s evil lurking in to tune god completely out. Don’t do it
@@michaelmalaki7176 he’s a heretic Christmas is not in the Bible Jesus never told people to celebrate his Birthday if he wanted us to he would of given us a date and how to celebrate it
Christmas is not biblical nor in Scripture, there no part Scripture that mentions this. In fact the Bible warns us about pagan rituals festivals.
Read your bible from the begining it's all in there .
As a former pagan, I will acknowledge and welcome the return of longer days, but it is not Christmas and I won't celebrate it.
I Hope the world would come to the knowledge of What’s Christmas celebration really means.And not just waiting to celebrate on that day,but celebrate and give thanks Everyday to the Lord Jesus.
Agreed. I've prayed about this subject asking God to prove in His WORD where christmas it's wrong and a sin. I've researched the scripture that these religious organizations say prove God condemns it and the scripture doesn't back up their claims. They've removed parts of the scriptures to bolster their position which God clearly forbids
Yet they hold to celebrating their own birthday or anniversaries which are traditons of man but deny Christ's birth which is vital for our salvation
Christmas is not a “holy day” appointed by the Lord, but a
“holiday” approved and advanced by man!
This is not a heaven or hell issue, so it shouldn't bother people so much
@Walter - by this logic, the bible is not holy as it was not appointed by the Lord either.
@@srich7503 ,
I’m not interested in you, that’s not a debatable issue!
@@walterlahaye2128 😂😂😂 either it is debatable or your logic is flawed. 🤷🏽♂ And this is true even if you are interested in me or not. 😁
@@srich7503 ,
You must think you’re the best thing since Moses!
We struggled with this for quite some time but God has finally opened our eyes. At first it was difficult giving it up because of family and spending time with them. But we wanted to please God more. Then we learned about Easter and Valentine's day, so no more of that either. Now I believe New Year's is next. I thank God that you have confirmed everything that we were convicted of. Thank you🙏
Thank you for helping me realize that I can’t let my feelings override Gods commandment
What commandnent are you speaking of? And where us it found in scripture?
@@carrieshepherd9415
Jeremiah Chapter 10 verses 2-4 say
2 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.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
We also have Deuteronomy 12, verses 29-32
29 The Lord your God will cut off before you the nations you are about to invade and dispossess. But when you have driven them out and settled in their land,
30 and after they have been destroyed before you, be careful not to be ensnared by inquiring about their gods, saying, “How do these nations serve their gods? We will do the same.”
31 You must not worship the Lord your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the Lord hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.
32 See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away from it.
You are violating the 1st and 2nd commandments, by bringing pagan practices into your home, since they come from other gods, as well as the 3rd, if you connect those pagan practices with the worship of the God of Christianity, and associate HIS holy name, with them.
Clear and accurate explanation based on Scripture stated within context. You know thousands of Christians who left behind Christmas and it's pagan traditions? Well, you can add two more to your list. May Abba-Yah bless you for speaking the truth.
As former pagan, I tell you, you are doing the right thing.
@@melbeasley9762 The first known use of pagan was in the 15th century
I prayed for this truth today.
God bless you!!!
Good job!
I wish people would see this video and sit down and really consider what God wants from them. It is not easy to be a real Christian, one who tries their hardest to do as God says, and it has always been that way. There is no easy path in reality. Too many people think it is easy. But it is not. Once you realize that you can finally step out and obey your Creator, and do as He says. He will support you in these matters, for anyone who is sitting on the fence at the moment. He IS a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him! Come on and join God's REAL family! 👌💖😉😎
If youre going to call Christmas pagan, might as well call the trinity pagan too because it is but yet almost every Christian believes in the doctrine and defends it.
@@viviennebaptiste We do. 😉
@@ToddSauve well it's pagan too so don't call something else a sin when ur doing the same thing
@@viviennebaptiste I think you may be confused. The churches of God do not celebrate Christmas nor do we believe in the Trinity. Hopefully that helps you understand where we are on these issues. The Holy Spirit is the essence and power of God and of Jesus Christ, simply put. It is not a third person of the God beings.
@@ToddSauve that's correct Todd. Trinity is not biblical. We believe in the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirt. The holy spirit is not a third person (as trinity stated) but it is God's power.
I use Christmas as a time to experience the love of my family. Which are in themselves a gift from God. ❤
Of course love , feast with family.
Yet ,one easily falls into following family gift giving ,Christmas 🌲 ,
Christmas Cards , etc .. only to be accepted.
Which then makes it wrong .
✌🏽💜
Jeremiah 10
Amos 5
is a good place to start learning the (truth)
Baal and groove worship not for me anymore praise Jesus.
In Mathew 6:24, our Lord Jesus said, you can't serve two masters. You will hate one and love the other. Or you will serve one more than the other. We are asked to choose whether to serve Jesus or serve the world
You didn’t watch this video, did you?
@@Kshais yeah I actually did. But the nice thing about having a one-on-one relationship with God is I don't actually have to Wonder what is okay to do and what isn't, I can just ask him.
HWA would tell you Wally, “Go the Head of the Class.” What a monumental improvement on an old attempt to open people’s minds to the truth. The Plain Truth About Christmas. You have made it plainer and clearer than any who attempted this most difficult lesson to teach ever before. Bravo. Keep it up.
Excellent program. It seems most of the public I deal with on a daily basis feels that something is wrong with Christmas observance.
Bryan Fall Christmas is pagan. Witches and pagans celebrate it to this day
There isn’t. Used to believe this narrative as well.
Thank you TW for yet another timely telecast. ❤️✌️

it is a pagan as a toter pole
That's why the bible say a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump, Galatians 5:9 . Jesus Christ never gave mention to to keep in mind His birth, nor was it even recorded in the bible, that he celebrated His birth-day. But Jesus did make mention to remember His body that would be broken, and His blood that would be shed for many, for remission of sins.
Amen 🙏
His conception, gestation, and birth IS indeed recorded in the bible, if you actually care to read the Bible (try Luke 1: 26-33, and Luke Ch 2 just for starters), ...just that the time of year that we know as December 25th has nothing to do with it.
His ciming conception/incarnation, birth, and ministry ministry was also long foretold in the Bible (see Isaiah 7:14, and Isaiah ch 53 just for starters)
Ok? Where in the Bible did anyone celebrate birthdays? But it's not bad to do so, this isn't a heaven or hell issue so let us stop arguing about it. If you feel convicted celebrating Christmas then that's fine, but if someone else doesn't who are u to say that they're sinning?
@@viviennebaptiste 😂 the church is always arguing isnt it lol. Tbf bible also says not to judge what others eat etc. Need break of religion, most people celebrate their own birthday and most peeps know dec 25th is pagan. We just need to do whats right in our heart and love one another God bless yall from UK 🇬🇧
@@Broken-Walls exactly, yes we should discuss certain things but all in all is God that leads us. But this right here, is not that important. People are going to hell and we are worried about if we should celebrate Christmas or wear makeup
It's all about having Christ in your heart. I know Jesus was not born on December, but the calendar says the year is almost over, we made it through the year so I thank God and Jesus for the mercy upon me
The Roman calendar is almost over, but God’s new year starts in march. Wake up to all that was changed by man. We are told not to follow tradition of men. God bless.
The Word says to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. I believe it means the full truth, not partial truth. So, it's not enough to worship Him with good intentions. We must honor Him in His ways, not our own.
Spot on! Praise your Elohim for He is good and faithful!
I have been doing the feats of our lord recorded in Leviticus 23 for 2 years, and yes my life has changed dramatically, I am a lot better now in every sense because I seek his TRUTH and initially it was only my wife and kids now we are getting people outside that circle to rejoice in what our Messiah has actually commanded us, I truly can say as the people for the living church of god will never give that away for pagan traditions like halloween and christmas, because and I am knowing better today who actually is my Father, The Creator of everything and his righteousness, and most inportantly knowing the perfect ways using those profecies embedded in The Feasts of the Lord of shadow pictures of good things to come, and The Powerful Way He will fulfill them and save His people. Be brave and follow our Deeply Loved Messiah in Spirit and Truth, it will be completely worth it.
Amen
Once more an affirmation of what I consider the truth given to us through scripture
Thank you Mr Wallace Smith I like most people use to celebrate Christmas
but I was lead to the truth 5 years ago and haven't celebrated it since nor
Easter and I thank GOD and the Holy Spirit for leading me to the truth & away
from the traditions of men. GOD bless you & keep you & all at TW.
pastorpeteonthestreet

I tend to see Christmas as an American holiday like Thanksgiving and see no problem for a Christian celebrating it.
Your opinion is meaningless. God's opinion is everything. God hates all the pagan holidays. Grow up and stop celebrating this nonsense.
Jesus was born on Sept. 10, 3 BC, between 6-8 pm.
His birth was the 10th of Sept. in 3 BC between 608 pm. Read the bible, study science. It is all there.
Thank you for this program. I have felt this way for many years. I no longer celebrate Christmas.Still taking hits from friends and family who stand firm on their justification for celebrating it. My late wife was big on celebrating the Hebrew feasts.
Thank you for this explanation presented so clearly and answering this huge question that has been with me for so long. why does Christmas always sit so uncomfortably with me. I knew it was a Pagan thing, but i now know that my very profound and uncomfortable feeling at this time of year has to be more to do with God telling me its not what he wants.
Thank you again brother, peace a love to you and your family and all on this channel.🙏
Thank You for the telecast!
Bold, brilliant, and backed-up work, Mr. Smith! MANY THANKS, to you, and your fine team!
Thank you for this explaination.This will be mine and wife's first year not celebrating the traditions of christmas. we are under going a lot of push back from my wife's family and trying to explain the truth has been difficult. but we will be sharing this video with them and pray that Yah opens there minds and hearts to his truth. thank you again for putting Yah's truth out there. Praise Yah!
Before you go down that road watch this: th-cam.com/video/4bWSrF7kNpM/w-d-xo.html
When I think of Christmas these days, I'm mortified by this pagan holiday, and, thoroughly disgusted. And I'm sure the Lord Jesus, and all truly redeemed, Christians, feel the same way. Thanks...
I'll always feel this time of the year but my family can't take part in the celebration because it's not of THE MOST HIGH GOD !!! I just remember when I was a child and didn't know any better because I wasn't taught any better. I look back and I see clearly that sin filled the minds of MANKIND and the lies and traditions continue to corrupt the minds of all that take part in the traditions that's not good in GOD'S will !!!
It's a Christian Holiday
It literally celebrates The birth of JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR
@@harryvaliente9425 it was a Roman day before it was a so called day of the MOST HIGH GOD !!!
@@harryvaliente9425 When you celebrate a pagan day, in a pagan way, you are practicing paganism...PERIOD.
God gave us 7 Feast Days to celebrate, and He said “Do not add to or subtract from My Commandments".
Real simple.
@@harryvaliente9425 CHRIST LOST HIS PEOPLE FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
Yes it is pagan all holidays are
Thanksgiving too?
Not at all. What God are people worshipping who celebrate Christ birth and resurrection? Honoring another God is paganism 101. That’s not the case her at all. Unbelievers obviously don’t celebrate it anymore and those holidays are a vestige of when the west was Christian but Christian’s celebrating those things are not practicing paganism in any way. No day or tree is pagan.
Amen And thank you. I've been struggling with this question for a while now and you helped clear it up, once and for all. For a few years now it hasn't felt right to engage in a pagan practice. I should always follow those feelings, they come from the Holy Spirit!
Finally I know the truth of Christmas. Godbless you for the truth and showing the truth from the bible scriptures. Thankyou for Tomarrows world and the truth through God's son Jesus our saviour.
It is possible to celebrate the holy days and Christmas feeling. Life has brought so much hardship and many churches did not support Christians over the past 3 plus years that they ought to have. Never begrudge those who find joy for themselves in the magic of Christ's birthday. It is not all about gifts to everyone. But gift giving and receiving is symbolic of caring. May the wonder of this season be cherished always.
This is my outlook on it too.
Merry Christmas and God bless you ❤
The 'magic' of Christmas is the 'spirit' of Christmas, which is not the Spirit of the Word of God.
Though we would not have the cross without his incarnation, we are redeemed by his blood, and we 'are healed by his stripes' not by his manger or cradle.
Had Christ only been born there would be no salvation.
There is so much time, effort and ministry wasted this way.
Philanthropy is not the Gospel of God.
The spirit of Christmas does not include repentance, but pampering our sinful nature under disguise.
Yessssss ❤
Awsome teaching here always
I stopped celebrating Christmas when I was 17 and learned the truth about it. I am happy to say that I have never once celebrated it on my own in my life (with family as a child, but that was out of my control).
If we ignore the origins of the day and all other aspects and just focus on the shear number of lies told on that day, that is reason enough for me not to celebrate it as God states that all liars will have their part in the lake of fire. We do not worship God using lies. Also, God states that He will not listen to our prayers if we keep such a day, and I need Him to hear me.
Isaiah 1:14-15 (NIV)
“Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals I hate with all my being. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening.”
Amos 5:21 (NIV)
“I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me.”
If we're going to call Christmas pagan you might as well call the trinity pagan too because it is yet almost every Christian believes in it
yes, stressed upon the Christians who are open to changes.
@@viviennebaptiste many of them are so deceived that they would even agree to that. Btw neither Christmas nor Easter are pagan.
@@arminius504 literally history tells us that Christimas and Easter are both pagan in origin. All the Catholic Church was steal the idea and practices of the pagans then "christianized" them.
What in the world do eggs have to do with Jesus being resurrected??
Christians think they're so original
Thank you for this video. Good teaching. Excellent presentation. To God be the Glory.❤
I have been persecuted for this but that’s okay. I stopped celebrating this and all holidays about 28 years ago. But I don’t condemn those who still do. They ain’t been shown the truth yet and I used to celebrate it myself. So I pray for those who do, I don’t condemn.
Amen
Thank you for your truth words.I didnt find lots Christian people which talk that much truth and clear.The cristanity today here in Germany like to celebrate this pagan Tradition.I quitt to celebrate christmas because I want to worship God and Jesus Christ in spirit and truth.So thank you for your blessed Video in those really hard days as sombody who quitt christmas in Germany.Because from this time you are an outsider.Even people want to force me to match with them for the christmas,but praise and glory to God,he see and understand my struggel, only because of I want to keep his commandments.The holy Spirit, guieds and prevents me in this difficult times here in Germany.The bible says be happy when you come in distress. Because thats the time when God shapes and Form you,and thats the point to show God,how mich you trust him.The time of distress even its hard,it is blessing,because there you will see the Power of Immanuel.Be blessed in your work 🙏🏽
Hello Aminata, Yes, most Germans are really into keeping Weihnachten. I do know a couple who do not keep it, but those Germans are definitely the small minority. I am an American but I have majored in German in school (bachelor's degree) and have a German Business certificate. I know a lot about Germany. I lived in Germany for three years and I spent a month there this past summer. I am glad to see that you refrain from Xmas even in that environment. I have never kept Xmas and I am glad. I feel like I am the happiest person in December. Everyone seems stressed out at the end of December. For us December 25th is another day. I know it has nothing to do with Christ's birthday (that we are not given the exact date and we were not commanded to keep it or any birthdays) but with pagan gods birthdays. I want to follow God ways and He has blessed me in many ways with the fruit of his Holy Spirit, love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, etc. I am very thankful for all God has given me-especially for His truth. God bless you for wanting to keep God's commandments and ways-you are showing Him by keeping His commandments that you love Him! John 14:15
It's not about the Pagan it's about My Faith to the Lord Jesus Christ my Saviour🙏
Amazing teaching and from the Bible..
God help us obey 🙏
I am not into all the glitter of Christmas but It is the one day where people actually show their love for one another just wish we could do that everyday
Thank You For Sharing ❤️
Thanks for this information❤️
The Lord spoke to me in a dream in 2018 that Christmas is pagan. It was clear as day that I haven’t acknowledged it since.
awesome👌 very well explained the way of celebrating Christmas👍👏👏
The more i watch your videos, the more i like your ministry because you are speaking truth. God gave us clear instructions on how to worship Him and we are not to add anything to it, nor take away from what He already commanded.
God bless your ministry ❤
Amen. Thank you so much for the video which explain about Christmas and God bless you
It is so sad that Christmas - which had the intention of being a joyful custom - originates with a festival of the winter solstice combined with a man made festival which unknowingly disrespects the King Designate Jesus who rules in heaven and wants peace for all for eternity which he will eventually usher in the near future. Thank you for highlighting this festival - spontaneous gift giving and sending cards is a beautiful way of radiating appreciation and love.
Praise Jesus and Glory to God.
Excellent study on this subject. Subscribed.
Soo good! Thank you. Especially in a post-truth culture.

Thanks for this clear explanation. So disappointed with one pastor of ccf, though he believes that Jesus was not born on 25 dec, he said that there's nothing wrong celebrating it.
Years ago I looked up the origin of this holiday by looking up the Catholic religion. People need to look this up and also Easter. They both are based on pagan holidays in the Catholic Church.
Exactly! Along with the others also, Valentine’s Day etc…
Thank you - could you possible do a presentation on the significance of the Transfiguration? Thanks.
Thank u! I will also share this on my facebook profil!
Thanks for speaking the truth! ❤
Jesus comes 365 times every morning!!! He (Sun) is risen!!!
Thank you new sub 🙏🏻
Great Lesson
People buck up against this simply becasue they dont want to let go of tradition nor face persecution. I gave up these traditons a few years ago. I have some family memebers who still try to pull me back in; I'm not budging. Once you are convicted and see the truth, you cant go back. There's no room for compromise when you live for God.
I never had a chance to celebrate Christmas since 2013 that's 8 years as of now. Why? God choose me
This is perhaps my first year not decorating for the holiday season..No tree..lights..specific holiday foods..gifts under the tree..no Christmas shopping...I just decided I wanted to do something different...I wasn't feeling God/Jesus in it..I gotta admit I love the fact that so many are Joyful..Cheerful and Jolly. think of God/Jesus during this time of the year...Parents tell their kids the true story of Jesus. In music, stage plays...cartoons...movies on DVD...I also decided I can celebrate the birth of Jesus every day...not at just one time of the year..I realized that as believers we never really asked Almighty God how we should celebrate the birth ofJesus...We mostly follow these Traditions because that is what we know and knew since Childhood...but that is also what our Parents knew..and their Parents and so on..I am learning more about Holiday times actually mentioned in the bible.. Now anytime is a good time to give gifts. People like getting them and giving them..People love to eat delicious food.. gather together with family and friends....We don't need a special occasion to do it.. Most anytime is a good time to shop..Over the last few years I wondered if I should ask God about how it's done..There is so much commercialism..Jesus was born...we don't know the exact date...but there was no flying raindeer...or Kind jolly man in a red and white suit...Kinda like Thanksgiving Day...I am great ful/ thankful every day..24/7)365 Selah.
Not just that one day listed on the Calendar.
There was a Kind rich/wealthy Christian guy who gave generously to the poor in his village area...He is the real person behind the persona of Santa Clause...
I loved decorating for Christmas but 2 yrs ago I was convicted of decorating and having a Christmas tree, this year , i only put up my manger and days later was convicted of that. I believe the Holy Spirit is trying to get God's children to separate themselves from anything pagan or from the occult. As we get closer to the days of sorrow we need to remove ourselves from anything that isnt of God. Satan looks for ways to have access to us, but God is showing us how to slam those doors shut and lean completely on Him. We need to be to survive tribulation.
I admire you for making those changes-you are doing the right thing. God is who we need to worship, not to follow men's traditions. Keep obeying God and keeping away from pagan things and He will be able to work more and more with you. I hope the best for you! :)
You can point out to people, "Hey, doesn't it seem oddly coincidental that Santa is the same letters as Satan?" And they will just laugh and say, "Oh haha, nah, that's just coincidence."
ive always noticed this anagram. sometimes things are put in plain sight to cleverly hide the obvious.
@@miltontohd6448 Regardless of whether celebrating Jesus' birth is scriptural or not, the Atheists and Satanists don't know anything about it. Atheists are ignorant of it. And Satanists couldn't care less - they deal in misdirection and deceit. Either way none of them liked that Christians gather together to celebrate Jesus' conception. So they devised a way to subvert it by creating Santa to take the place of Jesus and make the kids only think about Santa and toys. In the Greek Antichrist means Instead-of-Christ. They replaced Jesus with Santa (Satan), and now Santa is the focus instead of Christ. People even leave out a food offering for Santa (cookies and milk). They are literally worshipping Satan without knowing it. And the bible even says not to put up a tree with tinsel on it...
@@enginekid88 yup. better to celebrate Gods Sabbaths.
The same group of people can't see that, Delta Omircon is a anagram for MEDIA CONTROL.
@@mikebedard111 it does say satan is the power of the spirit in the air
Great Video Shalom 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I rather liked that picture of Santa Claus kneeling before baby Jesus. It’s like he’s saying, ‘It’s not about me. It’s about the Lord Jesus.’
LOOOOOOOVE YOUR VIDEOS and I text and email them out to inform others!
We are all righteous in our own eyes...
Titus 1:15 KJV - Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
AMEN, GOD'S TRUTH. THIS VIDEO IS SPOT ON. ABBA FATHER IS SPEAKING THROUGH HIS WORD.... BUT ARE WE LISTENING???👑👑👑
What does the Bible say? I don’t see it anywhere telling us to celebrate these holidays and I know my Bible. I do see instructions for the Passover going back to the days of Moses. No in the Bible does it say to celebrate my birth. The Catholic Church does. They changed the Sabbath from Sat to Sun during the council of Laodicea among other practices that people were killed for refusing. The word is a deception, only his word can you rely on. His word will give us life and carry us through whatever life may bring to us. He will be our redeemer and the most high which shall be praised and worshipped for ever and ever, amen.
You are on point!!!! Thanks so much
"One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord."
That's in the context of God's HOLY DAYS, not man's "HOLIDAYS". God bless.
Great use of Romans 14. Not only is this just for God's holy day's but it also explains that we are not to judge at all even if another does choose to celebrate a pagan holiday. If we lead but they do not follow we pray that the holy spirit speaks to them. It's in yeshuas hands now.
@@nathanburr3994 The context refers to just celebrating God Holy Days or Feast Days ONLY. Apostle Paul said that those days are a shadow of Christ. "Christians" want to misuse this verse to justify their sin and rebellion. God bless.
@@nathanburr3994 Correct in that we do not judge people...but we do judge sin.
Gal. 1:6-9 / Mark 7:6-9
Someone help me?
This group is telling me the truth about Christmas day.
I feel the same as you but we've got to be strong in our walk !!! I grew up with the celebration of Christmas and I've always thought that it was of the TRUE GOD but as I got older I started to understand what was GOD'S WILL and I had to look at my experiences in a different way . May CHRIST be with us at all times and I PRAY that we don't fail !!!
@DiscipleDave DotCom When was Jesus born then? More so, the birthday of Jesus Christ is not even a comparison of importance to His teachings and lifestyle, such as keeping the Sabbath and Passover. That was and should be the focus of us being true Christians, not the tainted, pseudo- religious Christmas we all know today.
What is truth?
People are happy and merry. That is truth.
People are making money so they can survive for another year.
Churches or places of worship are rich collecting money from us. That is truth.
Jesus is not a child. He is not being killed or physically punished. He is risen from the dead and is a spirit at the right hand of God. He is our Judge.
It is nice to repent, baptised and receive the Holy Spirit (our helper and educator).
@DiscipleDave DotCom You appear to be young and deeply troubled. You sound like a preacher.
Be enlightened by the Holy Spirit so that you do not accuse your brother unwisely. I will explain only a few:-
Jesus is not a child. He is risen and He is One with the Father (and the Holy Spirit...not what TW teaches).
At easter season, Jesus is not suffering or being nailed to a tree. He died so that we can be forgiven and we should remember Him. He is risen and sent the Helper to help and enlighten us.
(A lot of what you said agree with what I said except for the happy or merry part. Jesus is One with God the Father, not a man nor a son of David.)
I have seen your introduction on your YT channel and i gathered that you were "born again".
I am not attacking you young one, but I can see by your answers why you miss many points. It is because you are analysing each phrase or sentence out of context.
You are not a baby in a manger nor Jesus the Messiah. You are an adult and Jesus is in Heaven.
Jesus is everywhere but cannot be seen although you might be seeing some manifestation of Him at the moment.
Before I write anything that is related to people on christian comments, I look at what Jesus will say and hope I have the Holy Spirit's approval. Therefore I cannot be a judge or a jurer.
Combination of both

Worship and winter solstice festival!
Thinks
Wow thank you God bless 🙌
Thanks for the information, how can I get free books? Kwesiga Yowasi Kampala Uganda!
Now to explain this to my non-believing family! They’re not going to like it or understand.🙏💪🏼
Your words are not only poignant (BUT) 101% spot on. Good on you for doin’ The Lord’s work! (& in a tone) that doesn’t berate!! (Round of applause,……) We in the here & now weee also present way back when things got real,..,
Merry Christmas
Bottom line, Many self proclaimed believers have no True Love for The LORD. Many things are used to lead astray. For broad is the Path that leads to destruction, & Many will Enter in that Way.
Worship in spirit and in truth. Not traditions of any man
I have known these facts intellectually but after choosing to focus on OUR FATHER’s Calendar this year He is giving me The blessing of appropriating the knowledge in my spirit which is actually His spirit. I will now celebrate yes YESHUA’s birth during the feast of tabernacles.
For me I feel the freedom to enjoy the Christmas season now only in respect of Saint Nicholas and his kindness towards children The same way I enjoy Saint Patrick’s day and his focus on sharing the gospel. I know that many may not agree since they don’t agree with Saint Patrick’s theology but for me being of Irish descent I’m very thankful that God used Ireland to help save civilization.
Look that up you might find it super interesting.
Many thanks
Amen
AMEN 🙏🙏🙏
When i was younger, the clue for me was when a pastor or minister would say "the real meaning of christmas is the birth of Jesus".
Jehovah's Witnesses first told everybody that Christmas as well as some other holidays are antichristian. Why don't you go to the source to learn other Christian truths? There are many other things that so-called Christians believe and practice that are not in agreement with the Bible. This video is a wonderful release.
Thank you:)💛
Now, more than ever, we need to understand all of this. With the world be as evil and corrupt as it is now, we truly must know and understand about Jesus.
Great teaching from the Scriptures
Wow! This is meant for me to watch! I had the emotions of not able to give any gifts this year! And had thoughts of the past of Christmas with happy thoughts, now ive got my answer. But, i did knew a little about the pagans, thanks for the full knowledge. My question is: if someone gives you a gift, do you accept it? Or invite you over for a Christmas party or dinner do you go?? Please, give me the answer.
I’m struggling with this as well. Not attending or hosting a family gathering for Christmas will be extremely difficult. The gifts I really don’t care about.
@@mariabalderrama3485 And also, it's not easy being alone by yourself and no family around. I just don't get it! Not everyone is on the same level
Great message of truth. The only thing l believe you need to clarify is the last scripture you quoted. Was the washing of pitchers, cups and hands (Note: you skipped over that part of scripture)a pagan tradition ? Or an Israelite tradition ? This tradition sounds like a good one as far as cleanliness goes. Don't take me wrong I am a fellow brother in Christ Jesus and constantly seeking the truth of the LORD. I have been born again in CHRIST JESUS. So l know exactly what truth you were trying to convey, but the enemy will try to use this. That being said you did the best job l have seen of revealing the truth in this matter. The truth will indeed set you free. Please clarify.
Sincerely,
Your brother in CHRIST JESUS,

I am a Christian and was not aware of pagans celeration date. Till recently, one thing is that I couldn't get out of it because my family and I had been celebrating Christmas since the children were born. I did tell the children, but the father is another matter.
They are so used to the food and gift exchanges. Time and time again I tell them that I don't want to be part of the Christmas party. But my husband is in control to get me involved. So I just go on joining the family.
I am glad that the Christmas tree and the decorations are already off.
The family get-together dinner and gift exchanges are still an ongoing long process.
I pray that God will help you and your family mam
@syrwatdkhar6494 thanks for your prayers 🙏
I've struggled with this one for the last few years. I've celebrated Christmas my whole life, but I'm now questioning it. And in fact, last month, I just wasn't feeling the Christmas spirit. I don't know if this is God's way of trying to convict me that this is wrong or if I'm just getting older.
God certainly wants us to obey Him, and this is His thought on it: Deut 12:30-31. God actually has days He wants us to keep that are spelled out in His Word. If you'd like, you can order our free booklet, "The Holy Days: God's Master Plan" orders.tomorrowsworld.org/order/HD Again, everything we offer is completely free and we never ask for money. Just something to consider if God is convicting you.
Thank you.
thank you for the truth. i like this channel and the doctrine rings true for me. if i dont like this info, i can go somewhere else or start my own channel. i think some here are here to create chaos. God is not the author of chaos. Those who create chaos therefore are not of the true God of Peace. May those of the true God pray for this work. Peace to all the brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ.
I've had the statue of Santa kneeling and praying before baby Jesus for 40 years.
Do you even read the Bible? People have forgotten to fear the Lord now but there will be fear at the end when He says go away I never knew you. Wake up. Repent and turn to our Savior. I pray that your eyes be open before it’s too late. God bless.
