The Bible does not mention birthday celebrations for Jesus or any other faithful worshipper of God. The Scriptures refer to only two individuals who celebrated their birthday. Neither of them was a worshipper of Jehovah, the God of the Bible, and their birthday celebrations were cast in a negative light. (Genesis 40:20; Mark 6:21) According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, the early Christians opposed the “pagan custom of celebrating birthdays.”
The Bible does not say exactly when Jesus was born. “The day of Christ’s birth cannot be ascertained from the N[ew] T[estament] or, indeed, from any other source,” states McClintock and Strong’s Cyclopedia. Surely, if Jesus wanted his followers to celebrate his birthday, he would have made certain that they knew the date of his birth.
Second, the Bible does not record that Jesus or any one of his disciples celebrated Christmas. According to the New Catholic Encyclopedia, celebrating Christmas was first mentioned “in the Chronograph of Philocalus, a Roman almanac whose source material can be dated to 336 [C.E.].” Clearly, that was well after the completion of the Bible and centuries after Jesus was on earth. Thus, McClintock and Strong note that “the observance of Christmas is not of divine appointment, nor is it of N[ew] T[estament] origin.”
As the Great Teacher, Jesus gave clear instructions on what he wanted his followers to do, and these are recorded in the Bible. Celebrating Christmas, however, is not one of them. Just as a schoolteacher does not want his students to go beyond the instructions given them, Jesus does not want his followers to “go beyond the things that are written” in the Holy Scriptures.-1 Corinthians 4:6.
On the other hand, there is one important event the early Christians were very familiar with-the commemoration, or Memorial, of Jesus’ death. Jesus personally told his disciples when to observe this occasion and showed them how to do it. These specific instructions, as well as the calendar day of his death, are recorded in the Bible.-Luke 22:19; 1 Corinthians 11:25.
As we have seen, Christmas is a birthday celebration, and early Christians did not follow that pagan custom. Furthermore, the Bible does not mention that Jesus or anyone else celebrated Christmas. In light of these facts, millions of Christians the world over have concluded that Christmas is not for them.
“It’s not a celebration of when He came, it’s that He came”. I love this teaching but it really doesn’t even matter. I know in my heart why I celebrate Christmas. 🎶 Oh it is Jesus…
Who cares it's pagan.
The heart is desperately wicked who can know it.
@@matthewmosley4978 Not a converted heart
Matt 7:21-23;Gal 5:19-21; John 8:44;2 Tim 3:1,5,13;2 Thes 1:8,9
Jesus will destroy those who claim belief in him and believe in Satan's lies and "sacrifice to demons".
@@lnyawilliamsmoorell5061 Merry Christmas and God bless you
Please pray for me this Christmas. Jesus give me grace and endurance. As a single mother. I am struggling to provide for my children.Both of my sons are autistic. I’m constantly faced with financial hardships but my faith in God is still strong! Even as I struggle to pay rent every month and I struggle to buy groceries for my children, I KEEP FAITH in you LORD. Jesus hear my prayers I’m so overwhelmed and discouraged my health issues trouble me battling lupus and having a heart attack two years ago Lord give me strength because I want to give up. I will keep faith. Faith is all I have left!
I pray for you and your beautiful babies. Be well 🫶🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
May God continue to keep and provide for you and your children. I never comment but when I saw this I had to let you know he is Jehovah. We never know what others are going through we think we have it tough but you encourage me to know that what I’m dealing with is nothing compared to your life. God bless you my sis and stay encouraged.
Stay strong my Sister in God's word! Reach out to people in the Church a teacher a principle to help you. 🙏 Abundant Blessings in every area.
Prayers for encouragement, breakthrough and peace to you and your beautiful children. Lord provide and lift the load. Bless this sister with the grace and endurance to see your favor all over her life and her children. Do what only you can do. In Jesus name amen ❤️
Praying for you and your children, I understand the struggle 🙏🏾
”Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. But now that you know God-or rather are known by God-how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.“
Galatians 4:8-11 NIV
We don't need to follow nothing man has given, he wasn't born in that month..
The point is Jesus only wanted his death celebrated because of the the significance of his death. Of the Bible doesn’t say it, then it’s not true.
Confirmation. We as Christians have authority!! Jesus gave it to us.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I guess a better question should be, “Why Christians, Do Not Celebrate The Scriptural Celebrations?” No one can justify celebrating these pagans holidays.
I was caught up based on my childhood experiences, and those experiences translated to how me and my wife raised our children. And I have to admit, based on the Bible, I should’ve brought them up on the 7 Celebrations of God’s Word.
Now that I personally know better 2023 will be my last time celebrating any of these pagan traditions and focus more on Biblical celebrations. The main reason is to truly keep the focus on Jesus!
I love this! Thank you for this response PD! 👏🏽
Many will say Lord Lord and he will say “ I never knew you.”
Thank you PD!!! Amén, amén, amen!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love this explanation. I respect those who choose not to celebrate it and I would like to receive the same level of respect as I choose to celebrate the fact that He came! Thank you PD!
I receive this video message in Jesus’s name. I thank God for allowing you to give us clarity. I’m so thankful for Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas to all!🙏🏽💜
May God continue to bless Dr. Dharius Daniels and his family!
That’s some good stuff right there Pastor and teacher Amen 🙏🏾
Thank you PD!!! This is a much needed video.
Thank you so much pastor dharius for the word today amen
👏🏾🙌🏾 God is always in Pastor’s ear- let Him use you Dharius, let Him use you…We are here for it!🎁🎄❤
Thank you. Well articulated.
Okay Dr. Daniels for always dropping gems! It truly helps us all! ❤ I literally was just wondering about this for the first time this year. I would love for you to maybe talk about how not to fall into the consumerism of Christmas too!
Thinking is so important. Thank you!
Jeremiah 10 says otherwise.
I respect your take, but I don't agree... however do what you do unto the Lord❤
December 25 established by Roman emperor to end the celebration of there winter festival Saturnalia is a pagan holiday of Romans and would you put the date of the Lord Jesus in a pagan holiday same of the Romans. It is a mock to Jesus that his birthday was celebrated according to the calendar of pagan Romans. When I learned this my family stop celebrating Christmas as Christian we don’t belong to the world.
Thank You Pastor D.
Thank you for this video because it addressed everything everyone has been discussing. Many has said the same thing about Easter when our Saviour was crucified, hanging on "The Cross" for the whole world. Thank you for helping many come out of darkness about celebrating Christmas. Keep teaching and sharing the TRUTH!🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥
Matt 7:21-23; John 8:44;Gal 5:19-21;2 Tim 3:1,5,13;2 Thes 1:8,9; Luke 22:19,20.
Jesus commanded his true followers to celebrate the night he became man's Ransomer and Redeemer. Jesus will destroy those who claim belief in him and "sacrifice to demons and believe in Satan's lies. The cross is an ancient pagan demonic phaillic symbol for sex worship. Jesus was executed on an ancient Roman torture stake (stauros)

Love this teaching!
the answer of the first question of pastor daniels is yes because christmas was created by the catholic church and the origine of the catholic church is rome . catholic church means universal church because catholic comes from catholicus wich means universal . It's a church which assemble the practices of several religions including the celebration of the god of sun the 25 december
Well said Dr. Dharius, I am grateful that He came and I will continue to go honour the day❤
Matt 7:21-23; 2 Tim 3:1,5,13;2 Thes 1:8,9.
Jesus will reject and destroy those who claim belief in him but don't have his approval.
Thank you for this PD!!
Teach PD!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Let's pray that the truth be revealed and the scales removed from our eyes, and humble our prideful hearts, Holy Spirit! Now is the time that we as true believers wake up from this Great Deception of Baal worship! This is ancient witchcraft that the Most High has warned us of many times and we come up out of its Babylonian spell. Since the beginning YAH has warned us stiff necked people not to do these things just like the Israelites- following what other nations do for their gods so we can do it for our God (Deut 12:23-31). We are still letting Baal and Ashtoreth run the show like they did back then. Our enemy has been puppeteering us into the 😢 Mark of the Beast. We're no longer keeping the commandments YAHusha came to fulfill in the new convenant. We should not be idolaters that self worship and are more concerned about man's tradition than following YAH'S commandments and having a real relationship with him. Things that have evil roots bare evil, pagan fruit!
People are still taking Colossians 2:16 out of context. Paul was speaking to the new Colossae church converts that used to be pagan. Because that community didn't understand that the new covenant looks different, how Yahusha got rid of the death sentence associated with sin, not abolishing the law itself. Colassae was judging them for eating meat, drinking wine and celebrating during their new moons, biblical feasts and Sabbaths. He was encouraging that they not to worry about how they carried out those specific celebrations since the Colassae (who were still pagan) were against those things.
Fast forward to today. People are still holding tight to the pagan customs and traditions and saying that they're doing it for the Most High. Mark 7:9 - YAHusha told the Pharisees the same thing "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!" More evidence that we can't justify using evil holy days instead of Most High's commandments.
Come out of Babylon my people. Do not perish for a lack of knowledge! We honor YAH with our lips, but don't keep his commandments. He actually has biblical feasts he Does command us to observe, along with Sabbath days to get the seal of YHWH. The opposite will unknowingly lead to acceptance of the Mark of the Beast. Have you noticed All religions are united in celebrating the SAME universal pagan holidays. Coincidence? Pray on it brothers and sisters and the truth shall make you free!
All praises due to the Most High Yah!
This is true. Few and far between churches observe feast days such as Hanukkah, Tabernacles, and Rosh Hashanah but most observe Easter, Halloween, and Christmas.
@@queenspeech6801 Yes! HalleluYAH!!
@@jhunter6422 Yep! Exactly 💯. I had to let YAH lead me in his will and read the Bible for myself, vs. being led by others. Praying that we are all being led by the Most High instead of man's traditions! HalleluYAH!
Luke 22:19,20; Matt 28:19,20
Jesus commanded his true followers to celebrate the night he became man's Ransomer and Redeemer. All other Jewish customs meant for only the Jews to follow true Christians are not obligated to follow since Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law (Mosaic Law Code) and established the Law of Love which true Christians are commanded to observe (Matt 22:37-39;John 14:15;1 John 5:3; Psalm 83:18)
I will also say pagans STILL CELEBRATE and as the Christian community we should not act like they don't have impact. New comers to Christ like Kat VonDe shares her testimony and explains how the church is lulled to sleep by traditions of pagan backgrounds and we are unaware. I do not dare try to spare with your intellectual background just my pov and food for thought. ❤
I like your comment, it makes sense to me.
I don’t celebrate Christmas or birthdays myself, however….
…Each to his her own.
In Jeremiah 10 is the answer...
Period
I'm not trying to defend Christmas by saying this, but more of a clarification thing. To my understanding, Jeremiah 10 is talking about carving wood to make idols, not Christmas trees. In verse 3 it mentions a worker shaping the wood with a tool and in verse 5 it talks about it being a statue of a god.
@@ihearttheLord888 Verse 4 describes what people do to their Christmas trees today.
@@Tam2x99 There's a big difference between decorating for worship and decorating for harmless fun. People decorate all sorts of things without worshipping: Cars, houses, rooms. But do we worship them? No. All that matters is what's in our hearts.

2 Tim 3:1,5,13;2 Thes 1:8,9
Thank you, Pastor D
I am absolutely for the celebration of Jesus' birth, 100%. And, i dont care what day we decide to collectively do that. But we can not ignore what thus saith the Lord in Jeremiah 10: 2-4 (KJV) - " 2) Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed by them.
3) For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4) They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."
How do we rectify our current celebration in accordance with this scripture?
So glad you put this here! Because the ppl are deceived. We cannot do what the heathens do. Period!
Yes, my brother gave me this same verse about 2 years ago, and when I read it, I gathered a different revelation. My reading showed me that they cut down trees and carved them into idols, then draped them with jewelry. This makes me think of things like a Buddha staute. They were once carved from trees and draped with jewelry. Christmas trees are usually cut but not carved into an idol. The book of Jeremiah was written 600 years before Jesus. I may be wrong but this is what I got when I read it.
So many people like to cherry pick OT scriptures that suit their arguments, but yet they're the same people who have tattoos all over their bodies, the same men with long hair, the same women who wear pants and sleep in their husband's beds when they have their periods, as well as frying up bacon for breakfast and eating shrimp for dinner. We must learn to interpret the Bible intelligently as well as Spiritually my brothers and sisters.🙏🏾
Could a Christmas tree be seen as an idol? Seriously asking
Merry Blessed Christmas ❤ Glory to God in the Highest Praise 🎉

2 Tim 3:1,5,13
2 Timothy 3:1-9 NLT
[1] You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. [2] For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. [3] They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. [4] They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. [5] They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that! [6] They are the kind who work their way into people’s homes and win the confidence of vulnerable women who are burdened with the guilt of sin and controlled by various desires. [7] (Such women are forever following new teachings, but they are never able to understand the truth.) [8] These teachers oppose the truth just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses. They have depraved minds and a counterfeit faith. [9] But they won’t get away with this for long. Someday everyone will recognize what fools they are, just as with Jannes and Jambres.

Thank you for this timely word! This has been on my mind for a while. I grew up celebrating Christmas but now in my adult life and a born again believer I want to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour but felt conflicted about when is Jesus' actual birth because Christmas seems to be so commercialized. THANK YOU for giving the foundational information that has brought some clarity that I know many other persons found helpful as well. Merry Christmas to you and your family Doc!
A person I know celebrates Noel December 21. I've been told the Bible states christmas trees are spoken against in the Bible. I haven't researched it. My church has a Christmas tree on stage.
You have to research for yourself as you said and see how God leads you.Jeremiah 10:1-5 and Isaiah 44:14-20 speaks on pagan worship of trees and statues. From my study it doesn’t equate to a Christmas tree but can be any tree or statue but I hope God will lead you in your life about what these scriptures mean for you. I never grew up with the selfish Christmas because I raised Christian etc and we gave more than received but God will lead and knows what to do in your life

Preach the truth! 👍🏽
What is Jeremiah 10: 1-5 talking about? I always thought it was talking about a Christmas tree; we idolize it. It’s the center of the season. I think we have to dig a little deeper. He’s a theologist and gave a very theological answer but we’re to be called out of the world. Do not learn the way of the nations…. For the customs of the people are worthless. That’s Bible..Not me. Are we still a people following the Bible or have we made up our own versions. God Bless you all!

Those who claim belief in Christ and the lies of Satan will receive "everlasting destruction" from Jesus.
Great explanation! My only issue is that Santa Claus and gift giving is more celebrate by most than Christ, so this is why I personally choose not to partake. Also, in Eastern Orthodox religions, Christmas is celebrated in the second week of January. I'm surprised that was not also mentioned in this video.
Thanks PD! I NEEDED to hear this today. So much confusion and conjecture on this subject. As followers of Christ we need to have clarity like this. I hope PD makes more videos debunking controversial topics in faith.
Well you’re still confused friend. Dang double fold.
Where am I still confused? Sounds like an empty statement without facts to back it up friend @@Ashleyunfiltered
@@brandonevans8854 ohhhh I can definitely back it up friend. Definitely. Interesting how you agree to a Pastor that also doesn’t back it up with completed facts… just empty thoughts.
SO just to keep this on a even level playing field with no religious bias or emotion. This is an answer done by artificial intelligence. Again no religious bias or emotion, only proof of factual information from historical times:
HISTORICAL EVIDENCE:
“When Constantine the Great declared Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire in the 4th century AD, many people in the empire still held pagan beliefs and practices. In order to ease the transition of these pagan populations into the new faith, Christian leaders incorporated certain elements of existing pagan festivals and traditions into the celebration of Christmas.
The date of December 25th, for example, was chosen to coincide with existing pagan festivals, such as the Roman festival of Saturnalia and the celebration of the winter solstice. This was a common practice in early Christianity to help make the new faith more relatable and accessible to the people.
By incorporating elements of existing pagan festivals and traditions into the celebration of Christmas, Christian leaders hoped to provide a familiar context for the new Christian message and to facilitate the conversion of pagan populations. This approach was seen as a way to gradually transition people from their pagan beliefs and practices to the new Christian faith.
It is important to note that while the specific customs and traditions associated with Christmas may have pagan origins or cultural influences, the focus of the celebration for Christians is on the birth of Jesus and the theological significance of this event. The incorporation of pre-existing customs and traditions into the celebration of Christmas was a way to contextualize and express the Christian faith within the cultural and historical context in which it was practiced.
The development of Christmas as a Christian holiday is a complex and historical process that involved various factors and considerations. It is important to approach the celebration of Christmas with an understanding of its historical development and to discern how to celebrate in a way that aligns with one's faith and understanding of Scripture.”
So there you have it… Call a spade a spade.
The issue isn’t the fact that it’s just pagan because our calendar is. It’s a bigger issue when people who claim to be believers, believe and participate in an act of “worship” of something that actually ORIGINALLY had nothing to do with Christ. Israel did this, following man customs and mixing traditions with God and well.. you know the rest of what happened in the Old Testament. They didn’t listen.
“Many many who say Lord Lord will NOT enter the Kingdom”. Matthew 7:21-23
And 1 John 4:1-3 says to test every spirit to see if they are from God, because many false prophets and teachers have gone out into the world.
Don’t be a zombie, do your research and study the word. Make the comparison, find your answer. God will show you.
Matt 7:21-23;2 Tim 3:1,5,13;2 Thes 1:8,9;Gal 5:19-21; 1 Cor 10:20,21
Jesus will destroy those who claim belief in him and "sacrifice to demons" shortly
@@lnyawilliamsmoorell5061 Amen, but my question is in what way is celebrating the birth of Christ "sacrificing to demons" ? Last I checked the calendar we follow Monday-Sunday in western culture was also named after Roman gods, and not the Lord. So if you want to get specific about a day don't leave the calendar week out too. Remember, Romans 3:23 . For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The Lord Jesus Christ I worship owns ALL days of the year. Regardless of what pagan tradition it may have initially been known for. As an imperfect Christian I stand on Philippians 1:6. Merry CHRISTmas

Thank you for doing this video. I actually celebrate all year. A tree is not my idol, im not bowing to it,and everything I do is unto the lord.
I know it's hard (impossible without the spirit of God)to stop worshipping yourself. That is what people do around this time.
Love it…..
Based on this scripture:
Colossians 2:16 KJV
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
I realized that I am not arguing with folks about non-salvation issues. Honestly every aspect of our lives have a pagan root and origin so I am not going to be overwhelmed by it. I support everyone’s decision to celebrate or not but I am not going to belittle or devalue someone’s salvation over it. I am cautious of the weak and new Christians as Paul warned to be but I am not going to be in bondage to rules and traditions of men. Key is serve Christ and have a balance. The Holy Spirit won’t lead you wrong if you ask him and be led by him.
Merry Christmas!!!

I whole-heartedly believe PD is a man of God but people, do your own research and go talk to God. You will find much more than what's mentioned in this video.
Where in scripture support what was said?
That was poor explaining, no scripture to back what was said.
My question to you is does it supercede the last few sentences that he said?
❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lol!!! Across the board. I am going to honor my Lord and Savior. He came!!! Merry Christmas!! Glory to God!!!‼️
Exactly! I feel bad this man has to stop what he’s doing to even address this pettiness.
Yeah... But that tree. Jeremiah 10:2-4 2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Amen
