" We try to put Christ into Christmas when Christ is trying to get out of it." 😂 Brilliant. I can't honestly celebrate Christmas anymore. I love Yeshua so much not to insult Him. I just want to serve my Heavenly Father.
Why don't you want to celebrate the birth of Jesus? Remember: The angels showed us, how to do this. That was a big deal; they were all there! The wise men brought their precious gifts. That was not on the day of Jesus' birth. Does it matter? NO! We have two days free for celebration. And Christians refuse to celebrate? I think, this is crazy! "Oh come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord! " Wish you a merry Christmas.

I wholeheartedly agree with the conclusion of this topic....HOWEVER, even speaking about it brings incredible anger and concern that I have been deceived! My hubby simply cannot tolerate me speaking a word about it... which I rarely ever do. Nothing will change in the hearts of family unless YHVH reveals it to them. Until then...I don't know how to handle it.
@dumpsterbear-zi8uw I agree... but even that is met with anger and my thoughts are consequently trapped inside my heart. I am not a divisive, combative person, so this is very difficult as it is expected that I attend Church. I have to trust that YHVH understands my situation.
I quit following the holidays of man four years ago. It took my wife nearly a year to realize why we should not be celebrating these religious holidays that man has created. That first year she did a Christmas tree and had a party having friends over I just did not participate. Thing like nativity scenes and wreaths I asked her out of respect for me to not put them up. Told her if Christmas was more important to her than my walk with my Father I could move out for a few days if she could not meet me half way. She started to research and the next year quit doing these holidays as well.
Thank you sir For the Christian's it's our GOD(JESUS) who come in this world to save us so it's his birthday no one else. Celebrate on his name may GOD bless our Christmas day🎉🎉🎉
Looking forward to the teaching! I already stopped celebrating Christmas about 7 years ago. But I share your wisdom and history with others! Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
@@JohnDavis-i6jplease don’t let the enemy use you as his mouth piece! The only feasts we must celebrate as Holy from God YehoVah are listed on Leviticus 23 period. If you don’t see the pagan rituals of Christmas such as Santa Claus 🎅 and the tree 🌲 and the false narrative that jesus was born on Dec 25 etc etc then you’re blinded. But in Yahshuas Name may He open your eyes to see the pearls in His Word and may He open your ears to hear the wonders of his truths 🙏🏼🙏🏼

One of the hardest things for people to do is to break away from tradition. A Sabbath keeping pastor who had known me all my life told me that once and I know those words are true.
I pray this message as well as all the other messages spreads to all and eyes are opened before the return of The King in Yeshua's Mighty and Powerful Name I pray Amen
Jeremiah 10: tells us not to learn the way of the unbelievers. These verses actually describes the tree and how they decorated it even. We’re not to fear them but to “come out of their traditions less we partake of their plagues!”
I’m not a Christmas follower However this argument is not solid. Jer 10 is about Idolizing so yes people idolize the Christmas tree but we should be careful saying it’s talking about the Christmas tree specifically. Just my understanding
I was sent here by a friend. We each follow our own path, and I appreciate that you are shining a light on yours. Interesting video and historical information. But, in essence, there is nothing inherently wrong with celebrating the holidays as they stand, because no harm is being done to anyone who does. In truth, we have no way of knowing what Jesus Christ thinks of celebrating his birth in the first place, or the birth of any important historical figure. One must consider if he even has thoughts about it. What does it matter if they folded pagan and other elements of past celebrations into the celebration of Christmas? IMHO, it enhances the beautiful message of the season and it's that Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ and more importantly, GOD's promise of redemption. Thank you for posting!
@Goldenclay-I'm confused by your post here-you said we don't know what God thinks, but we do. He tells us in His Word to not worship Him in these ways. To not even learn the ways the pagans worship their gods. To be holy as He is holy (that means to be set apart)(not mixed up with it).
@@Dearssignsforyou We do not celebrate or worship pagan Gods! We celebrate that Jesus came to earth to redeem us. Let us sing: " Oh come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord." Like the angels did on the day of Jesus' birth. I wish you a merry Christmas.
@@Dearssignsforyouyup. abomination is what He said about celebrating Him in that way. He also told us what holidays we are to celebrate and keep that we ignore instead.
@@DearssignsforyouBy that logic we should rename the days of the week since they are names of Norse and Roman gods. The devil has had December 25th long enough; it’s time for God’s people to do something good with that day.
Thanks brother for all you do to build and teach the real truth about our Messiah. You're in my prayers and keep me in yours. Have a blessed good night💯💯🙏💜💪
i’ve been celebrating Hannukah for 20+ years but also remember from the book of Maccabees chapter 4 52: Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Casleu (also the month kislev, december), in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning, 53: And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made. 54: Look, at what time and what day the heathen had profaned it, even in that was it dedicated with songs, and citherns, and harps, and cymbals.”
Jesus Christ died for our Sins according to the scriptures and that he was buried and that he rose Again the third day praise God praying for everyone Everyday God bless you all...
As an Ex-Lost soul who practiced the arts for years (and I'm putting it mildly) The 6 pointed Hexagram Star of Molech/Remphan is more Satanic than the 5-pointed star.
One of the facts of History also is that the Gregorian calendar and the scriptural calendar are two seperate methods of keeping time. One starts with the new moon which has no relation to the international date line and the other ignore the day known as New Moon day and does not count it in its procession.
No one needs someone to know the truth. Study the scriptures and find his birth was about the end of September during Sukkot, feast of tabernacles. Born in the tower of the Flock, were sacrificial lambs were born and rapped in Swaddling cloth, just as Messiah was in the "the manger" birthing suite of the lambs. Priestly Shepards took care of this. God says not to mixup our worship with that of the pagan gods as rome did starting in the 300s. Follow what you will. But the scriptures are the only truth from front to back. Shabbat Shalom to you all in the mighty name of Yeshua Hah Mashiach our Lord and Savior
Recently I learned that a green tree is mentioned 11 times in Scripture though we may not know for sure that each one was an evergreen many times reading the scripture around the scriptures will show us that they were definitely around cooler times of the year when likely the only green trees present would be the Evergreens, and every single one of these is a warning to not partake in the Heathen ways. The Bible says there's nothing new Under the sun, so therefore history just keeps repeating as we hear so often even nowadays that history repeats and repeats, so why is it so unbelievable that use of the Evergreen started way back in the beginning and has continued till today although it may look different it is no different. The most high, Our Father in Heaven says to take nothing and make it for Him and I'm sure that that would include taking something and making it for Christ.
"Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord." Like the angels did on the day of Jesus' Birth. Later on, and in fact, let this sink in, that was not on Jesus' birthday, the wise men came and brought their precious gifts. Merry Christmas everybody! Let nobody take away this joyful celebration.
way cool. i thot this was just a xmas video for me to send to my kids. but exciting how just one more teacher is teaching Torah and feasts and the calendar!!
Jim is speaking the absolute Truth!! The Messiah was NOT born Dec 25! Its Winter in Israel...NO Shepherds & Special Sheep will NOT be found outside!! Snow falls during this time of the yr!!
Truth! But the Ruach Ha`Qodesh hovered over the virgin Mary on the Feast of Lights (Chanukkah) which just so happens to be celebrated this year on December 25th (the 25th day of the 9 month)! Praise YHVH!🙌🙌🙌
Whether or not Jesus was born on December 25th, the claim that sheep were not being grazed at this time of year is false. In fact, sheep are still grazed there at this time of year. I recommend Jimmy Akin's full article "Do sheep prove that Jesus wasn’t born on December 25th?" but here's an important quote from the biblical chronologist Jack Finegan's: "William Hendriksen quotes a letter dated Jan. 16, 1967, received from the New Testament scholar Harry Mulder, then teaching in Beirut, in which the latter tells of being in Shepherd Field at Bethlehem on the just-passed Christmas Eve, and says: “Right near us a few flocks of sheep were nestled. Even the lambs were not lacking. . . . It is therefore definitely not impossible that the Lord Jesus was born in December” [Jack Finnegan, Handbook of Biblical Chronology (2nd ed.), no. 569, quoting Hendriksen, New Testament Commentary: Matthew (Grand Rapids: Baker, 1973), 1:182].
@@John_Fisher You ever raise sheep? I have and they do not lamb in the winter and in winter weather at nights they are generally rounded up and sheltered for two reasons. Weather and predators.
Colossians 2:16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. Romans 14:4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand Choose your master wisely! Romans 14:5 One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. If you don't like what Jim says, just peacefully leave. Don't judge him or anyone else here for not wanting to keep holidays that do not have Gods stamp of approval. You are free to choose your days and gods you worship. Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. When in Rome, let the Romans be Romans, and let them worship and answer to their Roman gods and masters. Happy Hanukkah!
@alyssabeale1095 yes, but those who want to celebrate, ie disagree with Jim, are free to go elsewhere and not listen to him. They shouldn't be here trying to convince everyone Jim is wrong, they should let HIS Master judge him.
The other way round just as easily. Let's just leave it as a personal conviction and stop fighting, everyone does what he does to the glory of the Lord.
It's sad, but predictable. Satan's world hates the truth, and it also hates the ppl who tell it the truth. That's why the prophets, Jesus Himself, and the apostles experienced so much persecution throughout their ministry. The world loves darkness than the light.
@@marlena. but the whole issue is that you don’t get to dictate HOW you glorify Him. He has expressly told us in His Word not to worship Him as the pagans worship their gods, so why would you continue if you know it’s not pleasing to Him?
@@marlena.might as well have orgies to worship God. Honestly we must do what His Word says and once a person knows it is sin, it is his responsibility to stop doing it, or they will be held accountable.

Yep the great rasbesatus toothfairy on one side of Jebus and the Easter Bunny on the other. You can pray to all those fairy tale figures and see which one gets Fallen first the Roman god Dionysus made water into wine thousands of years before the imaginary story of Jesus doing it.

Something to ponder.... Who came up with the term "Christian?" Did the Apostles embrace that, or was it the Roman Unified Church? Why did Constantine abandon all remnants of the Hebrew element in his new, Pagan Christian stew religion in 325AD? I submit that followers of Yahusha Ha'Mashiah were continuing on the path Yahuah Elohim set for them, and "The Way" believed that the prophecies had been fulfilled in the resurrection of Yahusha. There was no call or need to start a "new" religion. Yahusha said His ekklesia would be built upon this rock, and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. I don't find anywhere that He said go build temples for a new movement. On the contrary, we are the temple. The book of Acts affirms that as well. Why any followers of Yahusha Ha'Mashiah, after knowing the truth of the lie where this all started, would choose to continue in the falsehood of the false "religion" is something I believe that they need to work through. Make no mistake, Yahuah's people, believers, and true followers of Yahusha Ha'Mashiah have been deceived and misdirected since 325AD. The enemy is crafty in his deceit.
This is how Yah feels about false worship. Amos 5:21 21-23 “I hate, I despise your feasts! I cannot stand the stench of your solemn assemblies. 22Even though you offer Me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; for your peace offerings of fattened cattle I will have no regard. 23Take away from Me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. Ouch!😮
Because of disobedience so keeping the feast had no meaning .those are God feast days, appointed times.. need to read the whole scripture to understand why he was angry and said that he's not against his own holy days but against vain worship
Please pray that I can help transform my family so that we stop celebrating pagan holidays. I want to switch to the feasts but I gotta get my husband in board. He is on board with the feast, but not with giving up Christmas
This was so good, one of the best and most comprehensive videos out there on this! Thank you! Also, I cannot find the “Hanukkah for Christians” video mentioned at the end of this one… I’d love to watch it. 🙏
Dont replace Christian traditions with Jewish Traditions. Best to stick with the Feasts Father has ordained with instructions in His word on how, when and why.
@@donnajagers4081 Problem is none of Christmas traditions is of God. All are centered on pagan traditions, customs and beliefs. Over 100 scriptures tells us to not follow these days that others follow but to follow what He, the Father has given us.
Debate indicates anger and competition and a “winner” but if in Christ unity is important not winning. So having conversation is good. When I was all into the Yeshua stuff I too was grumpy. Now I’m not grumpy! Conversation is cordial and friendly and not grumpy 😂😊
I personally stop celebrating celebrating Christmas because Jesus himself never celebrated it nor the disciples its not a feast day I the bible but stems from paganism Christ wasn't born on December 25th but I'm not against that do celebrate christmas
“Thus said יהוה, “Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be awed by the signs of the heavens, for the nations are awed by them. “For the laws of these peoples are worthless, for one cuts a tree from the forest, work for the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. “They beautify it with silver and gold, they strengthen it with nails and hammers so that it does not topple.” Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 10:2-4 TS2009
This passage is about carving statues/poles to worship pagan gods for one. If you take it this far you can't have any plants in your home as decoration, as it is pagan worship...
Amos 5:25-27; Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, People of Israel? You have lifted up the shrine of your king, the pedestals your idols, the 🌟 STAR of your god- which you made for yourselves. Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,"says the LORD, whose name is God Almighty.
@@marlena.Plants in your home aren't used to celebrate with. They are not put to death for temporary reasons and btw, many people don't believe in cutting off plants and flowers for personal gain. I don't believe it's a Salvation issue but idolatry is. Every year committing to a festival that props up commercialism in the name of FATHER Christmas aka Santa is replacement theology because they say they're celebrating Jesus Christ and yet they are shut down when they use Merry Christmas greetings. My people perish for lack of knowledge these festivals/holidays are not witnessed in the walk of Jesus Christ while he was on the earth. The feast days he observed had nothing to do with giving gifts to our pastors,family, friends, ectera. The goodwill of God is more meaningful than self indulgence. Before the Christ came to earth, God said, no! Jeremiah 10:1-4 Amos 5:25-27.
Santa is the God you have made for yourselves because you attribute him as being the benefactor of good will, good gifts, ectera..replacement theology, idolatry.
I believe it is especially important to worship the Lord on December 25th considering all of the information you shared about that time of year and some of the traditional rituals from various cultures. I sincerely believe that Christmas was in fact created to redirect the focus from pagan sun gods to the True Son of God. I'm completely okay with that. Of course it's extremely important to understand history and you do a phenomenal job teaching that in your ministry. I personally believe it's okay for the American Christians or anyone to adore the King of Kings and the Prince of Peace on that day, or the whole season. To reflect on the incarnation of Christ and his majesty. All of that other stuff is fluff. I believe that the bones of Christmas is sincerely rooted in Christ. Spread the light of his glory, sing carols about his name, revisit the stories of the angels, give thanks for what he has done, spend time with family, have fun, be joyful, fellowship with friends and community, give to the poor, show appreciation and give thanks to those you love. As Christ has loved us all. God so loved the world that he gave his only son.
My daughter and I we don’t want to celebrate Christmas, but her husband loves it and he puts up a tree and decorations. So unfortunately, we celebrate it in this house. We don’t celebrate it on the 25th. We do it on the 24th but I’m still uncomfortable with it.
It was never about about "the calender" nor have real Christians been worshipping "Santa Claus" or "the 25th Dec". If you have it's YOU THAT NEEDS to change - not the abrogation of either Christmas Day or the marking of Christ's arrival into the world. (aka Christmas)
Right! Celebrate in january for all I care, nothing changes when you change the day. And 'Santa Claus' used to be on december 5th/6th, to comemorate saint Nicholas, who gave gifts to the poor after supposedly inhereting alot of money. Take the date and santa away and you still have christmass😅
@@marlena.We are never told to celebrate his birth. He gave us Holy Days. Creating a celebration to our own liking & calling it of God runs very close to the sins of Jeroboam in Kings! Also 1 Samuel 15 is another example of doing what is right in our own eyes and calling it of God.
@@RealDefinitionsMatter I believe God sending the the start to the wise men and they bring with gifts, and the angels rejoicing over his coming and telling the shepherds quite obvious of a celebration. For one Purim and Hannukah are not in the torah but were celebrated way before Jesus and never frowned upon in the Bible. Also Gentile converts are not bound by old testamant and Jewish practices like the Jews are, so Christians only have babtism and communion left to celebrate? Because those are things Jesus directly teached us to do. Are we not allowed to rejoice in God and who he is and what he did? To his glory? Christmas is not intended for other gods, it is for The God our God, Jesus Christ. The sins of Jerobeam were idolatry, intended for gods other tha our Lord. And if your issue is materialalism, or egocentrism than that is a personal problem of intent as opposed for everyone.
Guess you have not studied the holidays that man has created in the name of God have you? Christmas and Easter are probably the two biggest ones that people center on but they all displease the Father.
I don't know that our forefathers knew the truth, but I do believe the people that originally came over here seeking to worship God freely without the Catholic Church / papacy ruling and reigning over their lives add a lot to do with the way things originally were in this country, and had a lot to do with how our founding fathers founded the country, but beings that majority of them were 33rd degree Masons which couldn't be further away from judeo-christian values and belief in God, many of them that called themselves Christians practiced deism . So despite most of my life believing that this was a Christian nation, and it was one nation under god, there has been something deeply eating away and me for the last several months that really started having me question what God this nation is under because I don't see anywhere where it specifies the God of Heaven through mentioning Christ's name or the god of this world. There are some suggestions that at one time or perhaps in some parts now many of our official documents have actually made mention of the adversary, satan, and or demons but never once mentions is Jesus, I don't know whether that is true but I know that the progression this country has taken all seems to have been by Design, and what better way than to full God's people than to allow them to think that there is a country that is one One Nation Under the God of Heaven ? After all the first four amendments of the Constitution seem to be completely contradictory to the morality of God for every land that God has led his people into I don't recall once reading that he gave them freedom of religion, but rather quite the opposite. And I don't see him offering freedom of speech especially after I've been reading Proverbs daily month after month for the last year since I started building a true relationship with jesus, I've learned that I should control my tongue because it's a very powerful tool that can wield good or it can be deadly, so why would he want me to have freedom over it? And I surely don't understand the second commandment although I used to be a very large supporter of it, but we're told to pay Caesar what he has to do and be respectful and I guess obedient to an extent so long as it does not go against God and I just don't see where God is telling us that we can rise up against them in such a way I had a Christian recently told me that there's a difference between murder and killing, but I disagree I believe there are different forms of murder I believe there are people that murder and enjoy it and never feel any adverse effects of doing so, but I believe that there are those that kill to save their lives and or the lives of the ones they love because we are Fallen selfish humans and don't always understand that we need to just put it in God's hands and let what happens happens, not that I'm saying I could do that but I would like to hope that in any situation I would reach out in prayer and know that if myself or someone else is taken then I will be with him one day and hopefully reunited with those I left behind or lost, but either way in that case usually the person is haunted by the life they had to take, they are led to repentance and seek forgiveness which is freely given that we don't always forgive ourselves fully, but in the end murder is murder I don't believe in war either they try to use the Bible to justify wars, but if you look at how the papacy backed and Lead many kingdoms into Wars it's quite different from the wars God let his people into where he did the warring like he did with David and goliath, like he did with the Battle of jericho, and in many other lessons we have of the old, perhaps there are some where God lead his people into battle and his people did The Killing but none that I'm aware of and I would be interested and open and willing to learn, I just don't believe that God built this nation or that it was built on him, I believe we truly are living in the greatest deception the Earth has ever seen amd its worldwide because Satan knows this is his last round that there are no more chances for him to destroy after this. And for everything great and glorious that God left us from a wonderful healthy nutritious protective and preventive food system, to a planet that that has a frequency, to fibers for us to wear on our body that carrier frequency, our bodies they give off a frequency, and I know many people either haven't heard of this or when they do they like in it to people talking about the Anunnaki or universalism, but the fact is is it science is proving that these frequencies exist and if they exist there is only one who could have created them which leads us do the fact that everything great God created Satan has a counterfeit like our deadly food system, the petroleum-based plastic plastic clothing fibers we wear, that actually when washed produce fibers that are toxic to Aquatic Life which is an easy Google search but ironically it's difficult to find the information about the scientific studies of what it does to our bodies, not to mention the shoes we wear that block the frequency of the earth and our bodies from connecting. I recently just began to learn these things and I'm not sure how I truly feel about them, but I find it ironic that the Bible speaks of linen and wool not being worn together, and the scientific evidence points that linen and wool counter each other out and effectively have a zero frequency of Warren at the same time but individually have a 5,000 however they read the number I don't remember the little letters they put after it. It seems there are many lies in history, and even more holes in it, and it seems that we have been led to be reliant on this world and its rulers despite being told to be in it but not of it. Sadly today Christians are not very distinguishable from anyone else, but there has been a great many people many who are Christians since 2020 beginning to disconnect from this system and becoming a self-reliant as possible while using the things that God left us and what their noticing is that they are healthier than they've ever been and have even been able to walk back from some chronic disease . I don't know why Christians don't find it ironic that Rockefeller came with petroleum and turned our drugs into petroleum-based medicine totally Banning natural medicine which was making great advancements at the time, and why we so simply just accept that the national diabetes Foundation has been here for 84 years yet has no cure, why the Cancer Foundation has been here for I believe 112 years and still no cure if there are so many people who are called nut jobs, and others who are silenced for trying to teach people that there are cures here the problem is is they can't be patented and earn An Almighty dollar because they're natural, but I think we're coming to A Time that because we have had those ways stolen from us, and because none of us know them anymore and they don't readily grow all around us because majority of everything has been taken over by invasive plants from other areas, that perhaps maybe they will attempt to patent some of these things and sell it back to us. I've had people say that wouldn't work because then we'll just start learning to grow it on our own, but that necessarily isn't true if we consider the fact that they are still in the process of moving forward with us owning nothing and being happy about it, and that Bill Gates and the Chinese own almost all the Farmland in our country, and most people are unaware but they've already started building the 15 minutes smart cities plantations that once we are in them we will not get out unless of course you comply with the new world orders . So many people think that we stopped agenda 21, but they fulfilled their goals of agenda 21 agenda 2030 was just their next stage, many more think that Trump can stop all of these things, but no one yet has stopped the devil, and though I believe God placed Trump in office like he has every other ruler to ever be on earth in every single government, I believe it is all to lead to his eventual on Earth as in heaven and not necessarily bringing God back do this country especially if he was never part of it in the first place.
Let me tell you a little story. I was traveling North doing something for the Lord and when I had accomplished. What the Lord wanted me to do I then heard him say go and I said go where and he just said he gave me a scripture. No, the compound. I was staying at the leaders wanted me to stay because of my giftand so in the morning, when I went to tell them that the Lord told me to go, they said. Oh no, you're not hearing from the Lord. We believe the lord wants you to stay here. So I waited one more day the lord had given me that scripture The next day I went to say no , that I needed to go and And that the lord had given me a scripture and they said oh , that's funny the Lord gave us a scripture lo and behold it Was the exact same scripture that the lord had given Only when the lord gave it to me , it was an assurance that I was Hearing from him to go yet they got the same scripture and We're sure they took the scripture as meaning the exact opposite. So like I say each christian Hash to hear from the lord themselves , there's always Someone to tell you what they think you should do because This is how they see the scriptures.
And Ho Ho Ho mocks the prophet Zechariah in chapter 2 verse 6 where the Israelites are warned "Ho Ho: Come forth, and flee from the land of the north ...!" This is so very serious to Yahshua and our Father YHWH Who do not tolerate lies!
This is a great video and study, as well as a great tool to share even better than the original I seen from way back in the day that used to be offered on DVD but I can't seem to find available. I've tried to reach out and see about it but never received the answer and just assumed that it may partially belong to the church he used to belong to nonetheless this one was just as informative and I think much better and there's nothing wrong with repetition of the truth and facts. I have been trying to reach out to Jim Staley's Ministry for nearly a year now as I live in Pennsylvania and I'm unable to find any place of worship that teaches against Christmas or any of the other things I've come to believe, but they must be really busy as I never hear back. Life can be tough when you know that God is guiding you but still would like to have other people to talk to to make sure you're understanding things correctly, or make sure you're not reading into things that shouldn't be there I hold close to all of my new convictions pertaining to God's word, this country, and the world in general, but it was still be nice to hear a man who leads a Ministries opinion on matters. Unfortunately there's only been two and I've even considered wanting to hear their opinions and thoughts, but again unfortunately I don't hear back. As a woman without a head in my life relying strictly on Christ as my head I get worried sometimes, but I guess I shouldn't because Yeshua does not disappoint and never lets us down. Prayers of blessings and protection to all my sisters and brothers worldwide, especially Jim Staley that his ministry continue to grow and that God continue to leave him down the correct path through faith in Yeshua all offered in the mighty name of yeshua, our Lord and savior and king of kings, amen! Shalom shalom! If you read all of my comments thank you for being patient and thank you for being kind with your replies, I mean to pass no judgment or condemn anyone for their own particular thoughts on life end of this world.
May I ask why you show clips from The Chosen, that is a mix of Catholic and other religions? Thought you had discernment? Do more research. So you don´t represent something you don´t want.I will also say that for three years ago I didn´t know all about this, but the Lord opened my eyes. Truth and tradition video was one of the things that opened my eyes.
One thing I disagree with you on Jim, Is the day that He returns, because if you count from the Feast of Trumpets, 1335 days, the next day is the feast of Harvest, which is also known as Pentecost in the Bible. There are multiple witnesses in the Bible the attest to this.
If u want to celebrate why not celebrate during the time he was actually born but it's also not mentioned for us to do so..Jesus said remember his death by holy communion
6:01 Christ wasn't born, Jesus was. Christ is a spirit and Jesus is a man that was born to be a vessel for the everliving Christ spirit. "Before Abraham was, I am" is the Christ spirit speaking through Jesus, that's why it's called "the word". Words are spoken.
A pastor told my husband that Martin Luther was given a vision of the Christmas tree. Every church in my area has Christmas trees up and pastor says it's OK because we are not worshiping it!
Actually, (around 25 minutes?) most of Luther's theses centered around $, with a few exceptions. He didn't nearly cover 95 separate doctrinal wrongs of the unholy marriage between Christianity and paganism.
Why not pray in the name of the tooth fairy or the imaginary God In The Clouds sitting in a chair with a beard. You don't have to believe in fairy tales you can learn who you are and learn who what your Consciousness is and that you can be your own Creator if you let go of those fairy tales and understand your true full potential.
@DanHutchings-xx7ug yep and you'll never find Him in a book of goblins ghouls devil sins or Hells or imaginary Jebus dying on crosses, those are all fairy tales.
There were no sun god holidays on December 25 on the Roman Calendar. Saturnalia was from December 15-23. There were Sun God holidays in October and November going back to the Roman Republic. This "if you can't beat 'em join 'em" theory is completely false.
@@cristohijodeDios I don't listen to him except on the holiday stuff. He's so wrong it's funny. Like listening to the Bee Gees, one of life's guilty pleasures.
@ well don’t waste your precious time then, go and prepare yourself to celebrate this holiday with your love ones. As for Staley family and mine we will only Worship The Creator in his appointed dates= Leviticus 23 🙏🏼🙏🏼
From Google search: "The ancient Romans used the Julian calendar, which placed the winter solstice on December 25th." "The Romans celebrated the winter solstice with festivals such as Saturnalia, which took place between December 17th and 25th, and Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, which was held on December 25th."
@@tr889 I don't understand it either. For example there is no direct evidence of December 25 sun god holidays before Christians (lto an extent at least) settled on December 25 as Jesus birth.
What Staley says is spot on. Glad I am not following Religion for Breakfast but you are more than welcome to follow who you wish since it seems you have not research the subject on your own and chose to believe what you hear because it sounds good.
@@JohnDavis-i6j LOL no direct evidence? The Romans worshipped the Sun god and they held a celebration to honor their gods during the winter solstice which lasted for a week and was called Saturnalia.
If days are not important, why would God designate certain days in the first place? Leviticus 23 for example. Not to ignore the verses you’ve provided in view of your argument, but could you please explain how you reconcile under your view the former importance of certain days, to the present “days are not important”? To me this seems to be a contradiction, please educate me, thank you.
@@Mr.dingles It's not a contradiction. OP is simply misquoting all 3 of those passages because they don't understand what is being said. Literally none of those passages contradict or overrule God's judgement in Deut. 12 where He outlaws His ppl from committing idol worship in His name.
@@theeternalsbeliever1779 I understand that in reality there is not a contradiction. I’m just trying to extend the benefit of the doubt to the op so that they can explain their perspective
Col 2 is exhorting the believers in Colossae to not allow those outside or religious people to judge them FOR KEEPING God's Holy Days, Sabbath, etc because the substance is of Christ. This is in no way a defense of religious rebellion in doing whatever you feel. Using verses 8 and 23, I believe, based on the common interpretation makes God a man-made religion based on philosophy. I imagine, you would disagree, so the common interpretation is in error. Romans 14 is speaking of fasting and abstaining from meat. This has absolutely nothing to do with granting freedom to do as you please. Galatians 4 is addressing people who profess Christ but who have turned back to old worldly ways and/or pagan practices (not God's Law). I don't think that is a good chapter in defense of worldly practices while claiming Christ since it's being rebuked. Those in Christ are not under bondage to sin and the oral law and traditions, God's Law/Torah applies today. To be IN (abide) Christ means to keep the commands. Sin is defined as transgression of God Law, for sin is lawlessness 1 John 3:4. In yours, and wider Christian interpretation, you are making Christ a promoter of sin. To that, Christians, Galatians 2:17 If you are found a sinner (lawless, disobedient to God's Law) while seeking to be justified by Christ, is Christ now a promoter of sin(lawlessness/disobedience to God's Law)? Absolutely not! Essentially, one is saying we are free from God's standard to live lawlessly in Christ. This is a great error that should be taken seriously. "Lord Lord didn't we cast out demons in your name, prophecy in your name?...Turn from me, you who PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS". In Him we receive the circumcised "want to obey" heart and the "power to obey" Spirit Ezekiel 36:25-27 Also read on the sins of Jeroboam in Kings who sets up his own holidays and calls it of God. Also, Saul in 1 Samuel 15 uses disobeys God for what he felt was right and called it of God. I pray you continue in prayer and study, for God is not a promoter of this interpretation. The satanic bible reads "do as thou wilt for that is fulfillment of the law". Christianity is promoting the same but calling it of God. As for celebrating everyday, I do understand what you mean, but would probably say worship. I get your point, though from the context of the video and defense of a specific celebration, I would challenge that. God gave us Holy (Set-apart) days, so to call it everyday makes it common, as in not Holy. Also, God decides how he wants to be worshiped, not us. Otherwise we are recreating God in our own image and likes. Christ said 'Follow ME' yet we keep saying "No, you follow me"
For what feeling you full of nonsense of tooth fairies Easter bunnies and Jesus dying on crosses those are fairy tales the Roman god Dionysus was turning water into wine thousands of years before the Jesus story did it. Check it yourself every God was died in the resurrected they're talking about the sun dying in the west and rising in the east it's all fairy tales every single God has done the same story as Jesus it's ridiculous nonsense. The Creator is in you not in those fairy tale books of goblins ghouls Devil's sins or Hells.
Unfortunately, this video gets a lot of these issues wrong. These connections to paganism were invented in recent centuries, they were not actually in the mind of people when those customs developed. See Dr. Jackson Crawford's video "Odin isn't Santa Claus" for an example from someone who is an expert in the area. For another example, the oldest documentation of a distinctive 'log' relating to the celebration actually called it a 'Christmas log' (Robert Herrick's Hesperides poetry collection from 1648, Number 784). It had no significance other than being particularly large so that it would last long during a Christmas gathering that was going to last several hours - though of course after using it for practical reasons, Christians saw its light as a good symbol for Isaiah 9:2, John 8:12, and other Messianic imagery). It was only later that English people began to refer to it as a Yule log to make it sound more 'old timey' and traditional.
@@Sir_Viver Arguably, it does not apply. Christians have a freedom in Christ and are not under the restrictions that Israel was. Deuteronomy 12 restricts not just how Israel, but where - the Temple that God was to lead them to establish. But When the woman at the well asked Jesus to weigh in on whether Israel or the Samaritans had the right place of worship, Jesus said that in him worship could be anywhere and everywhere. Deuteronomy 12 restricted Israel from having the authority to change this, it didn't mean that in Christ God could or would not change this. Paul goes so far as to say that in Christ we have the freedom even to eat meat that has been offered as a sacrifice to false gods. But the command not to "worship the Lord your God in their way" further doesn't apply, because again, the connections between Christmas customs and pagan origins was false, people developing cultural practices around Christmas did not have in mind - generally were not even aware of - the pagan customs that people in the modern era claim that they did. It would be like saying that Americans are ripping off the Heroes Day celebrated in Cape Verde because we have our presidential inauguration on January 20th - the two aren't connected and it takes completely ignoring the history and geography to start making connections like saying that English people were thinking about Germanic pagan gods when they came up with customs.
@@John_Fisher Wow, no consideration for the fact that God has feelings, and those practices angered and saddened Him. Unbelievable! Christians are so heartless. You'd have no problem hanging swastikas on your wall and inviting a Jew over for a birthday party, all in the name of "freedom in christ". Sad.
I understand your objections (and disagree with some of the historical information presented) but this is one day a year when every Christian and every seeking heart are encouraged to join together as one to proclaim that Jesus Christ is LORD, thank God for His coming and look forward expectantly to His coming again soon. I know that The LORD is greater than any tree, any feast and any idol (talking about "santa" here) and that the day being about the Hope of the Gospel, unity and genuine love, acts of sacrifice cannot be detestable in His sight. If we are to be as legalistic with everything as we are looking at Christmas then Chapel shouldn't be a thing at all, especially not on a Sunday - neither should we celebrate Easter, keep our heads covered/uncovered when praying, eat food marked 'halal' (offered to idols) or keep/don't keep rules on food, handwashing, etc. Jesus Christ is LORD of the Sabbath, of everyday, the world and all time and He sees the heart. I respect your position but I don't share your conclusion - all of those pagan names for yuletide are applicable to Christ - the author and finisher of all creation, through whom all things consist and have their being. Praying for us all to do God's perfect and pleasing Will today and everyday - Merry Christmas to you all xx
I respectfully disagree, we have the commanded feasts of the Lord to do that. We don't need "Christmas" for that. The amount of people who told me recently that they are so depressed around this time of the year is evidense that this"feast" is man made and not from Him.
@@wilmariturner8965 It's OK to disagree but I don't think that people caught in the unhappy spiral of worldliness that can surround any celebration is not evidence that Christ Himself is against it (think of the stress surrounding planning a Wedding for example and Marriage is ordained by The LORD - Jewish Wedding Feasts are far more complicated and drawn out than modern western Wedding Celebrations!). The Apostle Paul directs us that what ever we bind on earth is also bound in Heaven, that we should become like him as he became like us (a gentile) and to bear with the weaker Brother or Sister in the Faith. Perhaps I am the weaker or perhaps the stronger - it really doesn't matter as long as I follow The Word of The LORD and The Leading of His Holy Spirit, to do all things in love xx
A true Christian would not be using this time of year to create dissension, animosity, and controversy in the body of believers. Everything you're going to say here again is just your perspective and speculation. Nobody believes Christ was born December 25th, but there's no time of year where there's a bigger movement of the Holy Spirit. Surely you can do better.
Being a "believer" doesn't mean anything if they don't love the truth, at which point there absolutely needs to be division. When Moses asked who was on God's side in Exo. 32, there was clear division between the ppl who wanted to worship the gold bull as their God and the ppl who would only worship the true God.
@theeternalsbeliever1779 you have missed the message of the Gospel. You seem to have made legalism and the tora your Idol. Apparently all 613 regulations. This is the same thing the Pharisees did.
What and not try to get people to wake up as to what the truth is? Wake up people it is man who created these religious holidays and there are over 100 scriptures that tells us how displeased God is.
Almost everything Staley says in this video is wrong. Christmas is not pagan. If Jim doesn't want to celebrate it, that's his business, but he is lying about this. And if he is lying about this, what else is he lying about?
Your Nativity, O Christ our God, has shone to the world the Light of knowledge; for by it, those who worshipped the stars were taught by a star to adore You, the Sun of Righteousness, and to know You, the Dayspring from on High. O Lord, glory to You! Today the Virgin gives birth to the Transcendent One, and the earth offers a cave to the Unapproachable One! Angels with shepherds glorify Him. The wise men journey with a star, since for our sake the Pre-Eternal God was born as a young Child. Christ is Born! Glorify Him!
I remember the day I came to know the truth. All I wanted was to distance myself from Christmas and especially Easter..... My walk is slow, but steady... Thank you for this video I can share with others.... Shalom shalom

Nothing will change in the hearts of family unless YHVH reveals it to them. Until then...I don't know how to handle it.
You just ask questions here and there.

I agree... but even that is met with anger and my thoughts are consequently trapped inside my heart. I am not a divisive, combative person, so this is very difficult as it is expected that I attend Church. I have to trust that YHVH understands my situation.
I quit following the holidays of man four years ago. It took my wife nearly a year to realize why we should not be celebrating these religious holidays that man has created. That first year she did a Christmas tree and had a party having friends over I just did not participate. Thing like nativity scenes and wreaths I asked her out of respect for me to not put them up. Told her if Christmas was more important to her than my walk with my Father I could move out for a few days if she could not meet me half way. She started to research and the next year quit doing these holidays as well.

So I will link several sources with videos that explain it all. You're ABSOLUTELY free do do waht you want with the information and if you chose to believe it or not. All I'm doing is posting sources.

Thank you Jim for not failing to tell the truth on this issue. It can be so divisive but the truth matters for those who love the Lord.
One of the hardest things for people to do is to break away from tradition. A Sabbath keeping pastor who had known me all my life told me that once and I know those words are true.
I pray this message as well as all the other messages spreads to all and eyes are opened before the return of The King in Yeshua's Mighty and Powerful Name I pray Amen
Thank you Jim for revealing the Truth for us. God bless you 🙏🤍
Jeremiah 10: tells us not to learn the way of the unbelievers. These verses actually describes the tree and how they decorated it even. We’re not to fear them but to “come out of their traditions less we partake of their plagues!”
I’m not a Christmas follower
However this argument is not solid.
Jer 10 is about Idolizing so yes people idolize the Christmas tree but we should be careful saying it’s talking about the Christmas tree specifically.
Just my understanding
I was sent here by a friend. We each follow our own path, and I appreciate that you are shining a light on yours. Interesting video and historical information. But, in essence, there is nothing inherently wrong with celebrating the holidays as they stand, because no harm is being done to anyone who does. In truth, we have no way of knowing what Jesus Christ thinks of celebrating his birth in the first place, or the birth of any important historical figure. One must consider if he even has thoughts about it. What does it matter if they folded pagan and other elements of past celebrations into the celebration of Christmas? IMHO, it enhances the beautiful message of the season and it's that Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ and more importantly, GOD's promise of redemption. Thank you for posting!
@Goldenclay-I'm confused by your post here-you said we don't know what God thinks, but we do.
He tells us in His Word to not worship Him in these ways. To not even learn the ways the pagans worship their gods.
To be holy as He is holy (that means to be set apart)(not mixed up with it).
@@Dearssignsforyou We do not celebrate or worship pagan Gods! We celebrate that Jesus came to earth to redeem us. Let us sing: " Oh come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord." Like the angels did on the day of Jesus' birth. I wish you a merry Christmas.
@@Dearssignsforyouyup. abomination is what He said about celebrating Him in that way.
He also told us what holidays we are to celebrate and keep that we ignore instead.
@@DearssignsforyouBy that logic we should rename the days of the week since they are names of Norse and Roman gods. The devil has had December 25th long enough; it’s time for God’s people to do something good with that day.
Thanks brother for all you do to build and teach the real truth about our Messiah. You're in my prayers and keep me in yours. Have a blessed good night💯💯🙏💜💪
i’ve been celebrating Hannukah for 20+ years but also remember from the book of Maccabees chapter 4
52: Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Casleu (also the month kislev, december), in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning,
53: And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made.
54: Look, at what time and what day the heathen had profaned it, even in that was it dedicated with songs, and citherns, and harps, and cymbals.”
Jesus Christ died for our Sins according to the scriptures and that he was buried and that he rose Again the third day praise God praying for everyone Everyday God bless you all...
I have to say that this is probably one of your best videos on Christmas. Good job!
Amen. Let us be in line with God's calendar. The calendar days, times and seasons of the Lord.
As an Ex-Lost soul who practiced the arts for years (and I'm putting it mildly) The 6 pointed Hexagram Star of Molech/Remphan is more Satanic than the 5-pointed star.

Thank you so much for this teaching. It has confirmed in a loving way why we shouldn't celebrate Christmas. HalleluYah!!!
One of the facts of History also is that the Gregorian calendar and the scriptural calendar are two seperate methods of keeping time. One starts with the new moon which has no relation to the international date line and the other ignore the day known as New Moon day and does not count it in its procession.
No one needs someone to know the truth. Study the scriptures and find his birth was about the end of September during Sukkot, feast of tabernacles. Born in the tower of the Flock, were sacrificial lambs were born and rapped in Swaddling cloth, just as Messiah was in the "the manger" birthing suite of the lambs. Priestly Shepards took care of this. God says not to mixup our worship with that of the pagan gods as rome did starting in the 300s. Follow what you will. But the scriptures are the only truth from front to back. Shabbat Shalom to you all in the mighty name of Yeshua Hah Mashiach our Lord and Savior
Recently I learned that a green tree is mentioned 11 times in Scripture though we may not know for sure that each one was an evergreen many times reading the scripture around the scriptures will show us that they were definitely around cooler times of the year when likely the only green trees present would be the Evergreens, and every single one of these is a warning to not partake in the Heathen ways. The Bible says there's nothing new Under the sun, so therefore history just keeps repeating as we hear so often even nowadays that history repeats and repeats, so why is it so unbelievable that use of the Evergreen started way back in the beginning and has continued till today although it may look different it is no different. The most high, Our Father in Heaven says to take nothing and make it for Him and I'm sure that that would include taking something and making it for Christ.
The Nimrod bush! 😂
"Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord." Like the angels did on the day of Jesus' Birth. Later on, and in fact, let this sink in, that was not on Jesus' birthday, the wise men came and brought their precious gifts. Merry Christmas everybody! Let nobody take away this joyful celebration.
I loved the other truth or tradition on this subject, I hope this one dives even deeper.
Shalom!
❤🔥💪🙏
HalleluYaH!!!
way cool. i thot this was just a xmas video for me to send to my kids. but exciting how just one more teacher is teaching Torah and feasts and the calendar!!
Jesus has never been the reason for the season. Jesus has just been added to the season.

GOD bless you for putting out this information.
Jim is speaking the absolute Truth!! The Messiah was NOT born Dec 25! Its Winter in Israel...NO Shepherds & Special Sheep will NOT be found outside!! Snow falls during this time of the yr!!
Truth! But the Ruach Ha`Qodesh hovered over the virgin Mary on the Feast of Lights (Chanukkah) which just so happens to be celebrated this year on December 25th (the 25th day of the 9 month)! Praise YHVH!🙌🙌🙌
@@robyte98 Except Christ was not born December 25.
Whether or not Jesus was born on December 25th, the claim that sheep were not being grazed at this time of year is false. In fact, sheep are still grazed there at this time of year.
I recommend Jimmy Akin's full article "Do sheep prove that Jesus wasn’t born on December 25th?" but here's an important quote from the biblical chronologist Jack Finegan's:
"William Hendriksen quotes a letter dated Jan. 16, 1967, received from the New Testament scholar Harry Mulder, then teaching in Beirut, in which the latter tells of being in Shepherd Field at Bethlehem on the just-passed Christmas Eve, and says: “Right near us a few flocks of sheep were nestled. Even the lambs were not lacking. . . . It is therefore definitely not impossible that the Lord Jesus was born in December” [Jack Finnegan, Handbook of Biblical Chronology (2nd ed.), no. 569, quoting Hendriksen, New Testament Commentary: Matthew (Grand Rapids: Baker, 1973), 1:182].
@@John_Fisher You ever raise sheep? I have and they do not lamb in the winter and in winter weather at nights they are generally rounded up and sheltered for two reasons. Weather and predators.
@@DanHutchings-xx7ug Bethlehem weather today and Monday highs in the 60sF. Not very cold
Colossians 2:16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
Romans 14:4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand
Choose your master wisely!
Romans 14:5 One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.
If you don't like what Jim says, just peacefully leave. Don't judge him or anyone else here for not wanting to keep holidays that do not have Gods stamp of approval. You are free to choose your days and gods you worship.
Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
When in Rome, let the Romans be Romans, and let them worship and answer to their Roman gods and masters.
Happy Hanukkah!
THANK YOU for this!! But same can be said to those trying to push on otters not to celebrate!
@alyssabeale1095 yes, but those who want to celebrate, ie disagree with Jim, are free to go elsewhere and not listen to him. They shouldn't be here trying to convince everyone Jim is wrong, they should let HIS Master judge him.
Thank you for truth. It’s sad how many people get so defensive of Christmas.
The other way round just as easily. Let's just leave it as a personal conviction and stop fighting, everyone does what he does to the glory of the Lord.
It's sad, but predictable. Satan's world hates the truth, and it also hates the ppl who tell it the truth. That's why the prophets, Jesus Himself, and the apostles experienced so much persecution throughout their ministry. The world loves darkness than the light.
@@marlena. but the whole issue is that you don’t get to dictate HOW you glorify Him. He has expressly told us in His Word not to worship Him as the pagans worship their gods, so why would you continue if you know it’s not pleasing to Him?
@@marlena.might as well have orgies to worship God.
Honestly we must do what His Word says and once a person knows it is sin, it is his responsibility to stop doing it, or they will be held accountable.
Should or Can?

Something to ponder.... Who came up with the term "Christian?" Did the Apostles embrace that, or was it the Roman Unified Church? Why did Constantine abandon all remnants of the Hebrew element in his new, Pagan Christian stew religion in 325AD?
I submit that followers of Yahusha Ha'Mashiah were continuing on the path Yahuah Elohim set for them, and "The Way" believed that the prophecies had been fulfilled in the resurrection of Yahusha. There was no call or need to start a "new" religion. Yahusha said His ekklesia would be built upon this rock, and the gates of hell would not prevail against it. I don't find anywhere that He said go build temples for a new movement. On the contrary, we are the temple. The book of Acts affirms that as well. Why any followers of Yahusha Ha'Mashiah, after knowing the truth of the lie where this all started, would choose to continue in the falsehood of the false "religion" is something I believe that they need to work through. Make no mistake, Yahuah's people, believers, and true followers of Yahusha Ha'Mashiah have been deceived and misdirected since 325AD. The enemy is crafty in his deceit.
This is how Yah feels about false worship. Amos 5:21 21-23 “I hate, I despise your feasts! I cannot stand the stench of your solemn assemblies. 22Even though you offer Me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; for your peace offerings of fattened cattle I will have no regard. 23Take away from Me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. Ouch!😮
Because of disobedience so keeping the feast had no meaning .those are God feast days, appointed times.. need to read the whole scripture to understand why he was angry and said that he's not against his own holy days but against vain worship
Excellent! Thank you Jim for all your research and willingness to share the truth ❤
I love this ....this has bothered me for a while now ...Great message ❤🙏🙏🙏
Please pray that I can help transform my family so that we stop celebrating pagan holidays. I want to switch to the feasts but I gotta get my husband in board. He is on board with the feast, but not with giving up Christmas
I to stopped keeping xmas since 2015
This was so good, one of the best and most comprehensive videos out there on this! Thank you! Also, I cannot find the “Hanukkah for Christians” video mentioned at the end of this one… I’d love to watch it. 🙏
The Hanukkah video will be released next week. We're working on it.

Dont replace Christian traditions with Jewish Traditions. Best to stick with the Feasts Father has ordained with instructions in His word on how, when and why.
@@donnajagers4081 Problem is none of Christmas traditions is of God. All are centered on pagan traditions, customs and beliefs. Over 100 scriptures tells us to not follow these days that others follow but to follow what He, the Father has given us.
Amen
"We just want to have a conversation." Then why don't you debate someone on this?
Debate indicates anger and competition and a “winner” but if in Christ unity is important not winning. So having conversation is good. When I was all into the Yeshua stuff I too was grumpy. Now I’m not grumpy! Conversation is cordial and friendly and not grumpy 😂😊
I personally stop celebrating celebrating Christmas because Jesus himself never celebrated it nor the disciples its not a feast day I the bible but stems from paganism Christ wasn't born on December 25th but I'm not against that do celebrate christmas
Jeremiah 10:3-4 first warned The Chosen Nation about this pagan tradition.
“Thus said יהוה, “Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be awed by the signs of the heavens, for the nations are awed by them. “For the laws of these peoples are worthless, for one cuts a tree from the forest, work for the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. “They beautify it with silver and gold, they strengthen it with nails and hammers so that it does not topple.”
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 10:2-4 TS2009
This passage is about carving statues/poles to worship pagan gods for one. If you take it this far you can't have any plants in your home as decoration, as it is pagan worship...
Amos 5:25-27;
Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness,
People of Israel?
You have lifted up the shrine of your king, the pedestals your idols, the 🌟 STAR of your god- which you made for yourselves.
Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,"says the LORD, whose name is God Almighty.
@@marlena.Plants in your home aren't used to celebrate with. They are not put to death for temporary reasons and btw, many people don't believe in cutting off plants and flowers for personal gain. I don't believe it's a Salvation issue but idolatry is. Every year committing to a festival that props up commercialism in the name of FATHER Christmas aka Santa is replacement theology because they say they're celebrating Jesus Christ and yet they are shut down when they use Merry Christmas greetings. My people perish for lack of knowledge these festivals/holidays are not witnessed in the walk of Jesus Christ while he was on the earth. The feast days he observed had nothing to do with giving gifts to our pastors,family, friends, ectera. The goodwill of God is more meaningful than self indulgence. Before the Christ came to earth, God said, no! Jeremiah 10:1-4 Amos 5:25-27.
Santa is the God you have made for yourselves because you attribute him as being the benefactor of good will, good gifts, ectera..replacement theology, idolatry.
@@flomccarther5632 There is a difference between symbolization and worship. God sent the wise men through a star too.
I believe it is especially important to worship the Lord on December 25th considering all of the information you shared about that time of year and some of the traditional rituals from various cultures. I sincerely believe that Christmas was in fact created to redirect the focus from pagan sun gods to the True Son of God. I'm completely okay with that. Of course it's extremely important to understand history and you do a phenomenal job teaching that in your ministry.
I personally believe it's okay for the American Christians or anyone to adore the King of Kings and the Prince of Peace on that day, or the whole season. To reflect on the incarnation of Christ and his majesty. All of that other stuff is fluff. I believe that the bones of Christmas is sincerely rooted in Christ.
Spread the light of his glory, sing carols about his name, revisit the stories of the angels, give thanks for what he has done, spend time with family, have fun, be joyful, fellowship with friends and community, give to the poor, show appreciation and give thanks to those you love. As Christ has loved us all. God so loved the world that he gave his only son.
My daughter and I we don’t want to celebrate Christmas, but her husband loves it and he puts up a tree and decorations. So unfortunately, we celebrate it in this house. We don’t celebrate it on the 25th. We do it on the 24th but I’m still uncomfortable with it.
It was never about about "the calender" nor have real Christians been worshipping "Santa Claus" or "the 25th Dec". If you have it's YOU THAT NEEDS to change - not the abrogation of either Christmas Day or the marking of Christ's arrival into the world. (aka Christmas)
Right! Celebrate in january for all I care, nothing changes when you change the day. And 'Santa Claus' used to be on december 5th/6th, to comemorate saint Nicholas, who gave gifts to the poor after supposedly inhereting alot of money. Take the date and santa away and you still have christmass😅
Many Christians worship their own traditions over what God has told us to do.
@@marlena. Anyone can find an excuse to keep their pagan traditions, customs and beliefs I guess.
@@marlena.We are never told to celebrate his birth. He gave us Holy Days. Creating a celebration to our own liking & calling it of God runs very close to the sins of Jeroboam in Kings! Also 1 Samuel 15 is another example of doing what is right in our own eyes and calling it of God.
@@RealDefinitionsMatter I believe God sending the the start to the wise men and they bring with gifts, and the angels rejoicing over his coming and telling the shepherds quite obvious of a celebration. For one Purim and Hannukah are not in the torah but were celebrated way before Jesus and never frowned upon in the Bible. Also Gentile converts are not bound by old testamant and Jewish practices like the Jews are, so Christians only have babtism and communion left to celebrate? Because those are things Jesus directly teached us to do. Are we not allowed to rejoice in God and who he is and what he did? To his glory?
Christmas is not intended for other gods, it is for The God our God, Jesus Christ. The sins of Jerobeam were idolatry, intended for gods other tha our Lord.
And if your issue is materialalism, or egocentrism than that is a personal problem of intent as opposed for everyone.
Why it is that the Christmas celebration is questioned, but Valentine Day, which is pagan is not?
We have a video about Valentine's day where we explain its pagan origins. You can look it up on our channel.

Do you know that New Year's Day is pagan? @@PassionForTruthVideo
Believers shouldn’t be taking part in that day either.
Guess you have not studied the holidays that man has created in the name of God have you? Christmas and Easter are probably the two biggest ones that people center on but they all displease the Father.
@MK4Hisglory how about New Year's ?
Thanks so much for the video!
I don't know that our forefathers knew the truth, but I do believe the people that originally came over here seeking to worship God freely without the Catholic Church / papacy ruling and reigning over their lives add a lot to do with the way things originally were in this country, and had a lot to do with how our founding fathers founded the country, but beings that majority of them were 33rd degree Masons which couldn't be further away from judeo-christian values and belief in God, many of them that called themselves Christians practiced deism . So despite most of my life believing that this was a Christian nation, and it was one nation under god, there has been something deeply eating away and me for the last several months that really started having me question what God this nation is under because I don't see anywhere where it specifies the God of Heaven through mentioning Christ's name or the god of this world. There are some suggestions that at one time or perhaps in some parts now many of our official documents have actually made mention of the adversary, satan, and or demons but never once mentions is Jesus, I don't know whether that is true but I know that the progression this country has taken all seems to have been by Design, and what better way than to full God's people than to allow them to think that there is a country that is one One Nation Under the God of Heaven ? After all the first four amendments of the Constitution seem to be completely contradictory to the morality of God for every land that God has led his people into I don't recall once reading that he gave them freedom of religion, but rather quite the opposite. And I don't see him offering freedom of speech especially after I've been reading Proverbs daily month after month for the last year since I started building a true relationship with jesus, I've learned that I should control my tongue because it's a very powerful tool that can wield good or it can be deadly, so why would he want me to have freedom over it? And I surely don't understand the second commandment although I used to be a very large supporter of it, but we're told to pay Caesar what he has to do and be respectful and I guess obedient to an extent so long as it does not go against God and I just don't see where God is telling us that we can rise up against them in such a way I had a Christian recently told me that there's a difference between murder and killing, but I disagree I believe there are different forms of murder I believe there are people that murder and enjoy it and never feel any adverse effects of doing so, but I believe that there are those that kill to save their lives and or the lives of the ones they love because we are Fallen selfish humans and don't always understand that we need to just put it in God's hands and let what happens happens, not that I'm saying I could do that but I would like to hope that in any situation I would reach out in prayer and know that if myself or someone else is taken then I will be with him one day and hopefully reunited with those I left behind or lost, but either way in that case usually the person is haunted by the life they had to take, they are led to repentance and seek forgiveness which is freely given that we don't always forgive ourselves fully, but in the end murder is murder I don't believe in war either they try to use the Bible to justify wars, but if you look at how the papacy backed and Lead many kingdoms into Wars it's quite different from the wars God let his people into where he did the warring like he did with David and goliath, like he did with the Battle of jericho, and in many other lessons we have of the old, perhaps there are some where God lead his people into battle and his people did The Killing but none that I'm aware of and I would be interested and open and willing to learn, I just don't believe that God built this nation or that it was built on him, I believe we truly are living in the greatest deception the Earth has ever seen amd its worldwide because Satan knows this is his last round that there are no more chances for him to destroy after this. And for everything great and glorious that God left us from a wonderful healthy nutritious protective and preventive food system, to a planet that that has a frequency, to fibers for us to wear on our body that carrier frequency, our bodies they give off a frequency, and I know many people either haven't heard of this or when they do they like in it to people talking about the Anunnaki or universalism, but the fact is is it science is proving that these frequencies exist and if they exist there is only one who could have created them which leads us do the fact that everything great God created Satan has a counterfeit like our deadly food system, the petroleum-based plastic plastic clothing fibers we wear, that actually when washed produce fibers that are toxic to Aquatic Life which is an easy Google search but ironically it's difficult to find the information about the scientific studies of what it does to our bodies, not to mention the shoes we wear that block the frequency of the earth and our bodies from connecting. I recently just began to learn these things and I'm not sure how I truly feel about them, but I find it ironic that the Bible speaks of linen and wool not being worn together, and the scientific evidence points that linen and wool counter each other out and effectively have a zero frequency of Warren at the same time but individually have a 5,000 however they read the number I don't remember the little letters they put after it. It seems there are many lies in history, and even more holes in it, and it seems that we have been led to be reliant on this world and its rulers despite being told to be in it but not of it. Sadly today Christians are not very distinguishable from anyone else, but there has been a great many people many who are Christians since 2020 beginning to disconnect from this system and becoming a self-reliant as possible while using the things that God left us and what their noticing is that they are healthier than they've ever been and have even been able to walk back from some chronic disease . I don't know why Christians don't find it ironic that Rockefeller came with petroleum and turned our drugs into petroleum-based medicine totally Banning natural medicine which was making great advancements at the time, and why we so simply just accept that the national diabetes Foundation has been here for 84 years yet has no cure, why the Cancer Foundation has been here for I believe 112 years and still no cure if there are so many people who are called nut jobs, and others who are silenced for trying to teach people that there are cures here the problem is is they can't be patented and earn An Almighty dollar because they're natural, but I think we're coming to A Time that because we have had those ways stolen from us, and because none of us know them anymore and they don't readily grow all around us because majority of everything has been taken over by invasive plants from other areas, that perhaps maybe they will attempt to patent some of these things and sell it back to us. I've had people say that wouldn't work because then we'll just start learning to grow it on our own, but that necessarily isn't true if we consider the fact that they are still in the process of moving forward with us owning nothing and being happy about it, and that Bill Gates and the Chinese own almost all the Farmland in our country, and most people are unaware but they've already started building the 15 minutes smart cities plantations that once we are in them we will not get out unless of course you comply with the new world orders . So many people think that we stopped agenda 21, but they fulfilled their goals of agenda 21 agenda 2030 was just their next stage, many more think that Trump can stop all of these things, but no one yet has stopped the devil, and though I believe God placed Trump in office like he has every other ruler to ever be on earth in every single government, I believe it is all to lead to his eventual on Earth as in heaven and not necessarily bringing God back do this country especially if he was never part of it in the first place.
Let me tell you a little story. I was traveling North doing something for the Lord and when I had accomplished. What the Lord wanted me to do I then heard him say go and I said go where and he just said he gave me a scripture. No, the compound. I was staying at the leaders wanted me to stay because of my giftand so in the morning, when I went to tell them that the Lord told me to go, they said. Oh no, you're not hearing from the Lord.
We believe the lord wants you to stay here. So I waited one more day the lord had given me that scripture The next day I went to say no , that I needed to go and And that the lord had given me a scripture and they said oh , that's funny the Lord gave us a scripture lo and behold it Was the exact same scripture that the lord had given Only when the lord gave it to me , it was an assurance that I was Hearing from him to go yet they got the same scripture and We're sure they took the scripture as meaning the exact opposite. So like I say each christian Hash to hear from the lord themselves , there's always Someone to tell you what they think you should do because This is how they see the scriptures.
Read Jeremiah 10. It says it all...🇿🇦🇿🇦

I have been trying to reach out to Jim Staley's Ministry for nearly a year now as I live in Pennsylvania and I'm unable to find any place of worship that teaches against Christmas or any of the other things I've come to believe, but they must be really busy as I never hear back. Life can be tough when you know that God is guiding you but still would like to have other people to talk to to make sure you're understanding things correctly, or make sure you're not reading into things that shouldn't be there I hold close to all of my new convictions pertaining to God's word, this country, and the world in general, but it was still be nice to hear a man who leads a Ministries opinion on matters. Unfortunately there's only been two and I've even considered wanting to hear their opinions and thoughts, but again unfortunately I don't hear back. As a woman without a head in my life relying strictly on Christ as my head I get worried sometimes, but I guess I shouldn't because Yeshua does not disappoint and never lets us down. Prayers of blessings and protection to all my sisters and brothers worldwide, especially Jim Staley that his ministry continue to grow and that God continue to leave him down the correct path through faith in Yeshua all offered in the mighty name of yeshua, our Lord and savior and king of kings, amen! Shalom shalom! If you read all of my comments thank you for being patient and thank you for being kind with your replies, I mean to pass no judgment or condemn anyone for their own particular thoughts on life end of this world.
May I ask why you show clips from The Chosen, that is a mix of Catholic and other religions? Thought you had discernment? Do more research. So you don´t represent something you don´t want.I will also say that for three years ago I didn´t know all about this, but the Lord opened my eyes. Truth and tradition video was one of the things that opened my eyes.
One thing I disagree with you on Jim, Is the day that He returns, because if you count from the Feast of Trumpets, 1335 days, the next day is the feast of Harvest, which is also known as Pentecost in the Bible. There are multiple witnesses in the Bible the attest to this.
If u want to celebrate why not celebrate during the time he was actually born but it's also not mentioned for us to do so..Jesus said remember his death by holy communion
Excellent presentation
Christmas is evil I hate Christmas
Of cause Christians should celebrate Christmas.( the Feast of the Nativity)
Christians yes, God's people, no. SMH
@@JaneSmith-n2k Who are God's people ?
Nimrod was born 12/25
Winter solstice, Yule fires ...
6:01 Christ wasn't born, Jesus was. Christ is a spirit and Jesus is a man that was born to be a vessel for the everliving Christ spirit. "Before Abraham was, I am" is the Christ spirit speaking through Jesus, that's why it's called "the word". Words are spoken.
A pastor told my husband that Martin Luther was given a vision of the Christmas tree. Every church in my area has Christmas trees up and pastor says it's OK because we are not worshiping it!
Actually, (around 25 minutes?) most of Luther's theses centered around $, with a few exceptions. He didn't nearly cover 95 separate doctrinal wrongs of the unholy marriage between Christianity and paganism.
Jacon Bar-Salibi (c. 1100 AD) isn't an authority on what was happening in in 200 AD? Is lying Jim going to tell us what happened 900 years ago?
Shabbat Shalom to my favorite pastor and family. Shhh 🤐 don’t let the others I follow know 😂.
I look at this time when families come together. And I catch the sales I mean I am just being for real.
i was raised catholic thankfully not any more. the popes brought in pagan holidays to draw people in.
Celebrating christmas has a pagan origan...🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Well it looks like the Jehovah Witnesses got something right. They don’t celebrate Christmas either.
The Jehovah Witnesses got this one right
Dear Heavenly Father Please Touch And Heal Her In The Lord Jesus Christ's Name We Pray 🙏🙏🙏
Why not pray in the name of the tooth fairy or the imaginary God In The Clouds sitting in a chair with a beard. You don't have to believe in fairy tales you can learn who you are and learn who what your Consciousness is and that you can be your own Creator if you let go of those fairy tales and understand your true full potential.
@@jerrydonquixote5927 There is only one true creator. What we learn and what we have is through Him, who can take it away at any time if He so wishes.
@DanHutchings-xx7ug yep and you'll never find Him in a book of goblins ghouls devil sins or Hells or imaginary Jebus dying on crosses, those are all fairy tales.
What "her"? It's a man. 🤭
And I'm told I shouldn't listen to Metallica, right!
Is it in Spanish already?
christmas is NOT A MOED!!
There were no sun god holidays on December 25 on the Roman Calendar. Saturnalia was from December 15-23. There were Sun God holidays in October and November going back to the Roman Republic. This "if you can't beat 'em join 'em" theory is completely false.
Studied & Agreed 👍🏼
My question then is if you have Pr. Staley as a false prophet than STOP listening to him and stop accusing him of lies as the enemy does all the time!
@@cristohijodeDios I don't listen to him except on the holiday stuff. He's so wrong it's funny. Like listening to the Bee Gees, one of life's guilty pleasures.
@ well don’t waste your precious time then, go and prepare yourself to celebrate this holiday with your love ones. As for Staley family and mine we will only Worship The Creator in his appointed dates= Leviticus 23 🙏🏼🙏🏼
From Google search:
"The ancient Romans used the Julian calendar, which placed the winter solstice on December 25th."
"The Romans celebrated the winter solstice with festivals such as Saturnalia, which took place between December 17th and 25th, and Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, which was held on December 25th."
There is a You Tube channel "Religion for Breakfast" which has episodes on Christmas. What Staley is saying is wrong..
I love Jim, but he has been corrected on some of his historical "facts" but refuses to change or acknowledge them...I don't understand
@@tr889 I don't understand it either. For example there is no direct evidence of December 25 sun god holidays before Christians (lto an extent at least) settled on December 25 as Jesus birth.
He is very correct actually, i don't agree on other things he says but on this one he is
What Staley says is spot on. Glad I am not following Religion for Breakfast but you are more than welcome to follow who you wish since it seems you have not research the subject on your own and chose to believe what you hear because it sounds good.
@@JohnDavis-i6j LOL no direct evidence? The Romans worshipped the Sun god and they held a celebration to honor their gods during the winter solstice which lasted for a week and was called Saturnalia.
Jim, it sounds like you may have read the book "The Two Babylon's" published by Chick Publications.
Chick tracts work
It would be very helpful if this study were also in Spanish.

Why not Celebrate Jesus any day? Every day if you want to.
Days are not important. Christians are not under bondage.
See Col2.16; Rom 14:5
Gal4:9-10
If days are not important, why would God designate certain days in the first place? Leviticus 23 for example. Not to ignore the verses you’ve provided in view of your argument, but could you please explain how you reconcile under your view the former importance of certain days, to the present “days are not important”? To me this seems to be a contradiction, please educate me, thank you.
@@Mr.dingles It's not a contradiction. OP is simply misquoting all 3 of those passages because they don't understand what is being said. Literally none of those passages contradict or overrule God's judgement in Deut. 12 where He outlaws His ppl from committing idol worship in His name.
@@theeternalsbeliever1779 I understand that in reality there is not a contradiction. I’m just trying to extend the benefit of the doubt to the op so that they can explain their perspective
Col 2 is exhorting the believers in Colossae to not allow those outside or religious people to judge them FOR KEEPING God's Holy Days, Sabbath, etc because the substance is of Christ. This is in no way a defense of religious rebellion in doing whatever you feel. Using verses 8 and 23, I believe, based on the common interpretation makes God a man-made religion based on philosophy. I imagine, you would disagree, so the common interpretation is in error.
Romans 14 is speaking of fasting and abstaining from meat. This has absolutely nothing to do with granting freedom to do as you please.
Galatians 4 is addressing people who profess Christ but who have turned back to old worldly ways and/or pagan practices (not God's Law). I don't think that is a good chapter in defense of worldly practices while claiming Christ since it's being rebuked.
Those in Christ are not under bondage to sin and the oral law and traditions, God's Law/Torah applies today. To be IN (abide) Christ means to keep the commands. Sin is defined as transgression of God Law, for sin is lawlessness 1 John 3:4. In yours, and wider Christian interpretation, you are making Christ a promoter of sin. To that, Christians, Galatians 2:17
If you are found a sinner (lawless, disobedient to God's Law) while seeking to be justified by Christ, is Christ now a promoter of sin(lawlessness/disobedience to God's Law)? Absolutely not!
Essentially, one is saying we are free from God's standard to live lawlessly in Christ. This is a great error that should be taken seriously.
"Lord Lord didn't we cast out demons in your name, prophecy in your name?...Turn from me, you who PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS".
In Him we receive the circumcised "want to obey" heart and the "power to obey" Spirit Ezekiel 36:25-27
Also read on the sins of Jeroboam in Kings who sets up his own holidays and calls it of God. Also, Saul in 1 Samuel 15 uses disobeys God for what he felt was right and called it of God.
I pray you continue in prayer and study, for God is not a promoter of this interpretation.
The satanic bible reads "do as thou wilt for that is fulfillment of the law". Christianity is promoting the same but calling it of God.
As for celebrating everyday, I do understand what you mean, but would probably say worship. I get your point, though from the context of the video and defense of a specific celebration, I would challenge that. God gave us Holy (Set-apart) days, so to call it everyday makes it common, as in not Holy. Also, God decides how he wants to be worshiped, not us. Otherwise we are recreating God in our own image and likes. Christ said 'Follow ME' yet we keep saying "No, you follow me"
Almost very holiday is pagon where in the bible does it stand Jesus was born 25th Dec its all lies
th-cam.com/video/V0u5n5evYN4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ib8lFNd0hhAJdkJT
Thank you so much!!
For what feeling you full of nonsense of tooth fairies Easter bunnies and Jesus dying on crosses those are fairy tales the Roman god Dionysus was turning water into wine thousands of years before the Jesus story did it. Check it yourself every God was died in the resurrected they're talking about the sun dying in the west and rising in the east it's all fairy tales every single God has done the same story as Jesus it's ridiculous nonsense. The Creator is in you not in those fairy tale books of goblins ghouls Devil's sins or Hells.
Thank you pastor Jim for opening my eyes.
Unfortunately, this video gets a lot of these issues wrong. These connections to paganism were invented in recent centuries, they were not actually in the mind of people when those customs developed. See Dr. Jackson Crawford's video "Odin isn't Santa Claus" for an example from someone who is an expert in the area.
For another example, the oldest documentation of a distinctive 'log' relating to the celebration actually called it a 'Christmas log' (Robert Herrick's Hesperides poetry collection from 1648, Number 784). It had no significance other than being particularly large so that it would last long during a Christmas gathering that was going to last several hours - though of course after using it for practical reasons, Christians saw its light as a good symbol for Isaiah 9:2, John 8:12, and other Messianic imagery). It was only later that English people began to refer to it as a Yule log to make it sound more 'old timey' and traditional.
Deuteronomy 12:30 & 32 still apply, even if he did get a few things wrong.
@@Sir_Viver Arguably, it does not apply. Christians have a freedom in Christ and are not under the restrictions that Israel was. Deuteronomy 12 restricts not just how Israel, but where - the Temple that God was to lead them to establish. But When the woman at the well asked Jesus to weigh in on whether Israel or the Samaritans had the right place of worship, Jesus said that in him worship could be anywhere and everywhere. Deuteronomy 12 restricted Israel from having the authority to change this, it didn't mean that in Christ God could or would not change this. Paul goes so far as to say that in Christ we have the freedom even to eat meat that has been offered as a sacrifice to false gods.
But the command not to "worship the Lord your God in their way" further doesn't apply, because again, the connections between Christmas customs and pagan origins was false, people developing cultural practices around Christmas did not have in mind - generally were not even aware of - the pagan customs that people in the modern era claim that they did. It would be like saying that Americans are ripping off the Heroes Day celebrated in Cape Verde because we have our presidential inauguration on January 20th - the two aren't connected and it takes completely ignoring the history and geography to start making connections like saying that English people were thinking about Germanic pagan gods when they came up with customs.
@@John_Fisher Wow, no consideration for the fact that God has feelings, and those practices angered and saddened Him. Unbelievable! Christians are so heartless. You'd have no problem hanging swastikas on your wall and inviting a Jew over for a birthday party, all in the name of "freedom in christ". Sad.

I understand your objections (and disagree with some of the historical information presented) but this is one day a year when every Christian and every seeking heart are encouraged to join together as one to proclaim that Jesus Christ is LORD, thank God for His coming and look forward expectantly to His coming again soon. I know that The LORD is greater than any tree, any feast and any idol (talking about "santa" here) and that the day being about the Hope of the Gospel, unity and genuine love, acts of sacrifice cannot be detestable in His sight. If we are to be as legalistic with everything as we are looking at Christmas then Chapel shouldn't be a thing at all, especially not on a Sunday - neither should we celebrate Easter, keep our heads covered/uncovered when praying, eat food marked 'halal' (offered to idols) or keep/don't keep rules on food, handwashing, etc. Jesus Christ is LORD of the Sabbath, of everyday, the world and all time and He sees the heart. I respect your position but I don't share your conclusion - all of those pagan names for yuletide are applicable to Christ - the author and finisher of all creation, through whom all things consist and have their being. Praying for us all to do God's perfect and pleasing Will today and everyday - Merry Christmas to you all xx
Great justification to stay in sin.
Why would I want to join together as one with unbelievers and professing believers (who are most likely not in the faith either)?
@Barbwire710 It's a legitimate question and one the Pharisees asked Jesus - check your heart Dear Brother or Sister in Christ xx
I respectfully disagree, we have the commanded feasts of the Lord to do that. We don't need "Christmas" for that. The amount of people who told me recently that they are so depressed around this time of the year is evidense that this"feast" is man made and not from Him.
@@wilmariturner8965 It's OK to disagree but I don't think that people caught in the unhappy spiral of worldliness that can surround any celebration is not evidence that Christ Himself is against it (think of the stress surrounding planning a Wedding for example and Marriage is ordained by The LORD - Jewish Wedding Feasts are far more complicated and drawn out than modern western Wedding Celebrations!). The Apostle Paul directs us that what ever we bind on earth is also bound in Heaven, that we should become like him as he became like us (a gentile) and to bear with the weaker Brother or Sister in the Faith. Perhaps I am the weaker or perhaps the stronger - it really doesn't matter as long as I follow The Word of The LORD and The Leading of His Holy Spirit, to do all things in love xx
A true Christian would not be using this time of year to create dissension, animosity, and controversy in the body of believers.
Everything you're going to say here again is just your perspective and speculation. Nobody believes Christ was born December 25th, but there's no time of year where there's a bigger movement of the Holy Spirit.
Surely you can do better.
Being a "believer" doesn't mean anything if they don't love the truth, at which point there absolutely needs to be division. When Moses asked who was on God's side in Exo. 32, there was clear division between the ppl who wanted to worship the gold bull as their God and the ppl who would only worship the true God.
@theeternalsbeliever1779 you have missed the message of the Gospel. You seem to have made legalism and the tora your Idol. Apparently all 613 regulations. This is the same thing the Pharisees did.
What and not try to get people to wake up as to what the truth is? Wake up people it is man who created these religious holidays and there are over 100 scriptures that tells us how displeased God is.
Almost everything Staley says in this video is wrong. Christmas is not pagan. If Jim doesn't want to celebrate it, that's his business, but he is lying about this. And if he is lying about this, what else is he lying about?
THIS!! Thank you! I posted several links that prove this.
Your Nativity, O Christ our God, has shone to the world the Light of knowledge; for by it, those who worshipped the stars were taught by a star to adore You, the Sun of Righteousness, and to know You, the Dayspring from on High. O Lord, glory to You!
Today the Virgin gives birth to the Transcendent One, and the earth offers a cave to the Unapproachable One! Angels with shepherds glorify Him. The wise men journey with a star, since for our sake the Pre-Eternal God was born as a young Child.
Christ is Born! Glorify Him!
I always figured Santa Claus as Almighty God the Father
