If you are really a Christian and you read the Bible you’ll see and understand why Jesus wasn’t born in December.
Yes it was the time of year the shepherds stay out at night with their flock, and also during the time of the census. Neither one of those is in the winter
December 25 th is not totally and the exact date of birth of christ,early christians celebrate the birth date of christ on the pagan holiday so that they are able to convert pagans to christianity.
There's a lot of falsehood during these times. We should be careful of not inquiring about their gods. (Deuteronomy 12:30-31)

@@cocojones7773 Don't celebrate christmas
So far off from scripture but bears such a stronghold, especially as the church just embraced it. And the hardest thing for me as a mother since doing my research which has spanned over the last 5 years, is trying to help my children understand why we can't be part of it
Stick to it ❤️
Yes, you can do it, stick to it.
Christmas is literally the least Christian thing you can do…..
Yes, Christmas is paganism according to God's Word and it should be avoided.

First year not celebrating this pagan holiday. Not the easiest thing with 5 kids , but still possible folks. God bless 🙏🙏🙏
May God guide us all. Ameen.
Same here, It's a pegan holiday. And people should know about it
Your poor children. Learn to chill and enjoy life.
Not even close my friend, I can think of a million reasons to give my kids a gift that have nothing to do with this pagan holiday. And if were keeping it 💯 then we all know that's what it's really about. My children and I enjoy life very much so with out the compromise. God bless 🙏🙏🙏
Joshua Barlow you’re literally forcing them into a thought bubble that you created and pulling them away from the culture of society. You’re gonna mess them up and make them unable to socialize with their peers.
i love how cheerful the narration is like the origin is some kind of parody or something
what you mean
As a muslim, we believe Virgin Mary gave birth baby Jesus (pbuh) outdoor below a date-palm tree. As it is mentioned on the Holy Quran, Surah Virgin Mary (19:23), "And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten". It came with a conclusion, baby Jesus was born during non-winter season. However, the exact date aren't mentioned, so it is still a mystery indeed.
Christmas has nothing to do with Islam
@@wendyshoo3476 Jesus has nothing to do with Europeans.
Christmas is purely rooted in sun worship. For those unawares, the sun travels 15 degrees per day and proceeds south until the southern solstice on Dec 21 where it remains fixed for 3 days before beginning it's migration north again by 15 degrees per day beginning Dec 25. This is further why the Christ, the sun in mithra sun worship, is said to rise again after being "dead" for 3 days, in reality fixed for 3 days when it begins (rises from the dead) to travel by 15 degrees per day in it's progression north again each year.
Scriptures tell us that the angel Gabriel was sent to Mary in the 6th month to inform her of her impending pregnancy to birth the messiah. The Father's true new year begins March/April(Abib) on the Roman Gregorian calendar when nature's life begins anew rather than the dead of winter January 1st and April fools days was coined to ridicule those who followed the true new years beginning by referring to them as April fools. As such Mary would have become pregnant August/September (6th month) as she was already newly pregnant when she went to Elizabeth's shortly afterwards and give birth most likely in March/April(Abib) of the following year, the correct time for the birthing of lambs which is why the shepherds would be keeping their flocks by night to assist with the birthing and witnessed the star that the wisemen followed in order to locate the newborn messiah. It's no surprise as to why the messiah is referred to as the Lamb of God, with our Father nothing is by coincidence. And when is the Jewish Passover celebrated with lambs which would have to be before the lambs matured into sheep? Passover is celebrated in early spring March/April (Abib) when lambs are birthed. Nothing is coincidence.
Our messiah was most definitely not born Dec 25.

Wow, soooo wrong. This doesn't even really scratch the surface. Face it, Christmas had nothing to do with Jesus before, and even though Christmas had Christianity written all over it, it has nothing to do with Jesus.
Supreme Biscuit HD how’s it wrong then what you said is every that’s said in the video, they said it’s not got to do with Jesus because it was dated before his birth and Christian’s just adopted it to be their own holiday
Supreme Biscuit HD then why does Christmas have the word Christ tho .
Christ -Mass, Christmass, Christmas....If by the term Christian, one referring to a Cathokic, or Protestant; one who goes to their denominational church house on a regular basis, and whose beliefs and practices are based upon the traditions and teachings of that denomination; then yes, that person, being a part of that religious system to which Jesus refers in the scriptures as " MYSTERY, BABYLON, MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH", would consider Christmas to be a Christian observance.
If however, by the term Christian, one is referring to a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, whose beliefs and practices are based wholly upon the testimony and teaching of the scripture; then, no, that person must necessarily reject the Christmas tradition, and all things associated with it, as it is purely Roman in tradition and origin, completely pagan, with no basis in the scripture whatsoever.
Let's us hear what the LORD says in his word about the pagan traditions of the heathen, and how he would have his people to regard those things
"Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen.....for the CUSTOMS of the people are vain"
JEREMIAH 10: 1-3 KJV
"And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye seperate, saith the LORD, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my son's and daughters, saith the LORD Almighty"
2 Corinthians 6: 16-18
Christmas had nothing to do with Christ? Yet Christmas refers to the birth of Jesus christ. As long as Christian don't celebrate it in celebration of the pagan God's son. Date is just a date and it has nothing to do with the pagan's son God as the center of the Christmas but Christ alone. It's just the original Christians made their own version birthday celebration of the true Son of God not the other way around.
Like, that's what the video is about dude:)
I’ve always enjoyed the Christmas celebration. I always prepared myself for the arrival of Santa Claus and went to bed. And on Christmas morning, I opened up my gifts. And listen to Christmas music. But i had no idea that the holiday was about celebrating the birthday of Jesus Christ. Despite its pagan origins.
I know...and the churches I attended, well I dont think they talked abou it in scripture either.
The truth in my heart as I grow old continues to believe that we as Christians should celebrate Jesus Christ’s birth but not in this day or in this season.
Your heart is wicked. The bible tells you that. Where in the bible does it say to celebrate Christ's birth?

What about it is upsetting you?
Amazing thank you for uploading
No mention about Odin, called Father Jul in the Nordics. In the Nordic countries we still celebrate Jul (Yule) and we’ve newer called it Christmas. The word Jul comes from the word for sun in old Norse. Also, the old man with the beard is called Jultomten, not Santa, and he represents Odin, the all knowing god, riding the skies during Jul, giving presents to the good and punishing the bad, posing as a old man with a white beard.
Living in the dark nordic winter you’ll get it’s all about the winter solstice and the celebration of the sun coming back.
It's Saint Nicholas not Odin LoL
@@Hoenuman5Saint Nicolas Day didn’t spring out of nowhere. Just another Christianization of a pre-existing pagan festivity.
@@Lena.9 Odin didn't used to give presents to good childrens.
@@Lena.9 Saint Nicholas, also known as Nikolaos of Myra, was a 4th-century Christian bishop in the Greek city of Myra, which is now part of modern-day Turkey. He is revered for his acts of kindness and generosity. One well-known story recounts how Nicholas helped three impoverished sisters by providing dowries to prevent them from being sold into slavery. According to the legend, he secretly threw bags of gold through their window at night.
Another tale tells of Nicholas saving three innocent men from unjust execution. His reputation for compassion and generosity spread, and he became the patron saint of sailors, merchants, and children. Over time, various cultures added their own elements to the Saint Nicholas story, contributing to the development of the modern Santa Claus figure.
@@Hoenuman5 Just a quick search on the internet proves that Odin did give presents etc.

You believe in human sacrifices?
The foundation of Christmas is that people celebrated that the days were getting longer again, midwinter has passed.
While we are all fighting about the date of Jesus's birth or the color of his skin or whether Christmas is pagan or not. Our eyes are not focused on Jesus, we are focused on division. That is not from God. Let us love one another and celebrate Jesus everyday of the year. It's in the Bible to do so. ❤❤❤❤❤
Sad part is that people knew that December 25 is not the birthday of Jesus and yet they still celebrate it :😞

yeah how magical it was should be enough evidence to keep Christians away from It
Sure! Everyone was going to live forever, and used to look up at the sky for the sleigh lights and Rudolph’s nose. And the magic was waking up and running down the steps to see all of the gifts and everyone was happy and friendly. It’s a shame people can’t act that way throughout the year. But everything as a kid is better. In retrospect, youth is fantastic. I try to be a realist. It wasn’t so much that times were better. When I hear people talking about how much better the world was when they were young and I feel sorry for this generation I have to smile. It wasn’t the time so it was youth

*@JamesHughes-ku1dm* Yes, it's often the festive nature of this holiday that moves many individuals to celebrate it. *Yet, an examination of the history of Christmas* *exposes its roots in pagan religious rites. The Bible shows that we offend God if we try* *to worship him in a way that he does not approve of. (Exodus 32:5-7).* Therefore, individuals who want to fully please their Creator will avoid compromise by refusing to celebrate or observe pagan holidays that are insulting to him.

I get it when people say its the spirit of the holiday, coming together and what not but then why not practice this love, compassion and so forth everyday and not just during this holiday season
But you ignore what it’s based on so this is the issue. Have a gathering see family but don’t make it around a pagan practice
They make this sound so innocent. It’s amazing how much they leave out.

Yeah there's a ton of gruesome facts they left out...
I don't care where Christmas came from. It remain a nice day for me. All the twinkling lights, candles, presents and happy spirit of people mean a lot to me. I do not care about the history of 25 December, I care about the good will and happiness of that day, and maybe one day, every day could be Christmas.
Christmas is still called “Jul” in Scandinavia.
The priests wanted to call it Kristmesse but they just kept the name
According to Christians "Christmas," the Winter Holiday, originated from the Deserts of the Middle East where Winter is very mild. Makes no sense at all. Christmas is obviously a Winter holiday from Northern Europe, formerly known as Yule. Think about it folks. Snow, Reindeer, Elves, these things are NOT from the Middle East. If you like Christmas you can thank the Vikings not the Christians (whom tried to outlaw the celebration).

You may be a good person compared with some-but are you good enough to get into Heaven on your own? The answer is no-because God’s standard is nothing less than perfection, and none of us is perfect.
But when we come to Christ, God freely and fully forgives us all our sins, and now Heaven’s door is open to us. This is possible only because on the cross all our sins were transferred to Christ, and He became the final sacrifice for our sins. Because of Him, the Bible says, “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” (Hebrews 6:19).
Christ will give you a new love for others, and a new desire to help them and share Christ with them. He’ll also deepen the good things in your life, and prune away the bad things (and we all have them). Don’t delay, but by faith turn to Jesus and open your heart to His transforming POWER.

Repent and trust in Jesus, be saved! Euphrates River is also drying, which is a bible prophesy.
This is why as a Muslim, I don’t honour the day of Christmas. Not only because as Muslims, we only celebrate Eid, but because it has nothing to do with our Christian brothers and sisters. In fact, during the pagan traditions, our Christian ancestors were actually persecuted as part of game/entertainment and I cannot support that. May Allah continue to guide us. Ameen

Thank you. Very informative
Informative but false. Have you heard some say that Christmas is a Pagan celebration or that it has Pagan roots?
Please, let me set the record straight. Christmas (Feast of the Nativity) was never Pagan. It was created and placed on the solstice in order to usurp that day from the Pagans. Now, Christmas may have taken on Pagan attributes such as trees etc. but its origins are utterly Christian. Please read the quoted text below.
No, it was never Pagan. Wikipedia states: "It was a custom of the Pagans to celebrate on the same 25 December the birthday of the Sun, at which they kindled lights in token of festivity. In these solemnities and revelries, the Christians also took part. Accordingly, when the doctors of the Church perceived that the Christians had a leaning to this festival, they took counsel and resolved that the true Nativity should be solemnized on that day" Also: "As Christmas was known to early Christian writers, it must have been introduced during apostolic times. Irenaeus mentioned it in his list of feasts" Also: "The earliest known Christmas celebration is recorded in a first-century document called the Apostolic Constitutions. This manuscript, thought to have been written by Clement Romanus around the year AD 70, is believed to record a celebration that occurred in the earliest days of Christianity." So, the feast of the Nativity was purposefully placed on that day to usurp it from the Pagans. There are no Pagan roots.
Notice the phrase from Irenaeus, "they took counsel and resolved that the true Nativity should be solemnized on that day" That does not mean that Jesus was born on the 25th. It means that they decided to place a new celebration on that day. Undoubtedly, this took place with the full knowledge and probably counsel of the Apostles.

@@irasilangit4670 Jesus-Not god;A prophet
The Bible says that Jesus denied he is God
Jesus spoke to a man who had called him ‘good,’ asking him, ‘Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.’ (Luke 18:19)
And he said to him, ‘Why are you asking me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.’ (Matthew 19:17)
Jesus did not teach people that he was God
If Jesus had been telling people that he was God, he would have complimented the man. Instead, Jesus rebuked him, denying he was good, that is, Jesus denied he was God.
The Bible says that God is greater than Jesus
‘My Father is greater than I’ (John 14:28)
‘My father is greater than all.’ (John 10:29)
Jesus can not be God if God is greater than him. The Christian belief that the Father and son are equal is in direct contrast to the clear words from Jesus.
John 14:6 - “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.”

The Lord Jesus Christ was probably born around March 20 or September 19 depending on the Jewish calendar 6BC. But December 25 goes all the way back to the tower of babel time when nimrod was born. There's a lot of similarities between the tower of babel and the celebration of December 25. NEW WORLD ORDER. ANTI CHRIST ALL RELIGIONS COME TOGETHER TO WORSHIP THE ANGEL OF LIGHT, SATAN THE DEVIL HIMSELF. SANTA CLAUS: SATAN LUCAS: LIGHT. Jesus is not a baby. HE IS THE RIGHTEOUS GLORIOUS KING WHO REIGNS FOREVER AND EVER
Yes exactly he is not a normal standard human that we should even “celebrate” a birthday for him that’s why it’s not written in the Bible because it’s not important to know. There are more important things to know and follow that the Bible teaches us and our lord Jesus doesn’t age and have time counted towards him like we humans
Thank you so much
Yes exactly. I hope this matter should be discuss inside christian church. December 25 is a celebration of paganism . Wake up people
@Just a bystander yes thats important but the issue here is december 25 celebration is not written ih the bible and its really sadden me because those who use to study theology still teaching the pagan festival the birth of sun god mithra aka thamuz aka satan. Remember our battle is not in the flesh but in spirit.
@Just a bystander santa claus is “satan lucas” meaning angel of light lucifer in the bible refers as angel of light.
The origins of the real X-mas was in a hot Middle Eastern country, with NO snow. And this event of Jesus being born was in the fall, not winter! And the wise men gave gifts TO JESUS, not to themselves! Hence, where did all this gift giving come from? We are celebrating the birthday of a Roman god, Jupiter...a pagan holiday!
Lol, Its hilarious how people think Christmas is about the birth of Jesus.
LOL, It's hilarious how people think Christmas is only about buying, and getting into debt for the next five months...now THAT'S funny! They use Baby Jesus as an excuse to get into debt! LMAO!
You are 99% correct. But to be more accurate, Christmas doesn't originate with Christ at all.
But with the pagan Roman god Saturn, on December 25th of every year! you're good!
And the Babylonians got it from Nimrod and his wife, Semiramis! As a matter of fact, many of X-mas' symbols are in remembrance of Nimrod, the tree, the Yule Long, the Pine tree...these were even in Egypt! It's really amazing! Babylon is well and alive!
How can you have a day that is supposed to be for the Messiah but celebrated by “Christians” and non-Christians. The Messiah said in the Scriptures that the world will hate him. But you’ll never hear any of this preached , teach in any of these modern-day churches. Why are these pastors not telling the truth. That what people need to start asking if you call yourself a follower of the most High.

It's sad how Christians do a lot of wrong things because of lack of knowledge. I think I'll just stop celebrating any of these things coz no one is really sure of the exact dates. In one way or the other, they all ended up being twisted.
Let us analyze and study History... Christ Jesus was born in Bethlehem between the 6th to 4th year BCE during the reign of King Herod under the Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar...
During that time the Ancient Roman Calender had only 10 months... The 1st month up to the 6th month was represented by the Roman gods and goddesses' Root Names while the 7th month came from the Roman Root word SEPTA, which became SEPTEMBER, then the 8th month came from the Roman Root word OCTO, which became OCTOBER, then the 9th month came from the Roman Root word NOVI, which became NOVEMBER and finally the 10th month came from the Roman Root word DECI, which became DECEMBER.
Historians believe that Christ Jesus was born during the "10th month" (Fall Season) which at that time was called in the Ancient Roman Calendar, DECEMBER... When the Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar died in the 14th year, 1st Cent. A.D. when Christ Jesus was in His Teenage years, Emperor Tiberius succeeded the throne and added 2 more months in recognition of Julius Caesar for the 7th month called JULY, and Augustus Caesar for the 8th month called AUGUST, thus, the month of September became the 9th, October became the10th, November became the 11th and December was no longer the original 10th month but became the 12th month in which there were already SNOW in Bethlehem (Winter Season)...
When Christ was born in Bethlehem, His registered BIRTH was the 10th month (December), which was the written Roman Census at that time for Blessed Mary and St. Joseph. When Emperor Tiberius reigned in the 14th year, 1st Cent. A.D., the Roman Calendar became 12 months adding the months of July and August, thus, all born on the 10th month including Christ Jesus became the 12th month (still called December) but in Winter Season in Israel...
The Exact Birth Day of Jesus on the "10th month" (December) was lost... the Pagan Roman Empire celebrated the SUN GOD FESTIVAL every the 25th day of December (10th Month), and Christ Jesus was also born on the 10th month in Bethlehem presently December today, and since the Pagan Roman Empire accepted the Faith of Christianity in 325 A.D.... the Roman Catholic Church replaced the Pagan SUN GOD FESTIVAL into the "Holy Mass (Celebration) of Christ Jesus" commonly called today CHRISTMAS... The First Christmas in the Christian Roman Empire (United East and West Roman Empire) was celebrated on December 25, 325 A.D....
What better way to STOP the Pagan Festival was to adopt the "Birth of Christ Jesus" on the 10th Month which was presently December (the 12th month)... Analogy, if a person cheated on you, what better way to replace that person is to find another better person than the previous one, and not to have a pet animal as a replacement... the same analogy.
Another Analogy... if your Birthday falls on LEAF YEAR (February 29) does this mean you won't have your birthday each year and your age will only increase every 4 years?... or perhaps your Birthday is moving on March 1st every non-leaf year?... NOPE... your birthday will still remain on FEBRUARY but move 1 day backward, on the 28th... the same analogy...
Therefore, Christ Jesus was born in Bethlehem on the 10th month, the Fall Season of the Original December... and not the 12th month, the Winter Season of the New December.

Christmas not even biblical. Christ's birth date didn't mentioned in Bible.
Yup,
It's not biblical, it is political.

I'm celebrating Hanukkah 🕎 I am a Messianic Jew and I was raised Lutheran but I am mixed Ashkenazi Afro-American , Cherokee Idian German, French and Italian. Jesus Christ was Jewish and I learned the mysteries of God when I decided to leave Sunday worship and the customs of the Catholic church
Are christians celebrating 25 December or celebrating the birth of Jesus our Lord and Saviour? 25 December is just a date internationally selected to remember the birth of our saviour. Some people were born of 25 Dec and you cant say that they shudnt celebrate their birthdays because that day is linked to a pagan god.
I think this is why Jesus nor the bible does not mention His birth day coz you guys will worship that day instead of Jesus Himself. This is why God burried Moses Himself. The birth of Jesus Christ is an important event to all christians as God gave prophesy of who and where Christ will be born. Angels and men praised God for Christ birth. For a believer, we dont need 25 Dec to celebrate Christ birth, we celebrate and praise God everyday and 25 Dec is just an international agreed date to remember His birth.
Thank you. I think Christmas is and should be more of a celebration of what the birth of Christ represents, HOPE
Well said
Then southern people should ask to move christmas at july,
So we can experience snow at christmas
Even if Jesus was born on December 25th, did the Bible say so?
Saint nick wasnt turkish he was greek anatolian
IF the tree represents the tree in the Garden of Eden , then we should put a serpent on it as a fitting reminder not to fall again from the doctrine of the stock a doctrine of vanities
The garland around the tree represents the snake. from childhood this stuff is EMBEDDED into ones head. Christmas is NOT Christian. Don't be deceived. How does "SANTA" ( SATAN scrambled) get into your house? Well, he goes down from the roof, down through the chimney.Scripture teaches thatJesus is the door and the theif and the robber, does not enter that way. JUST LIKE SANTA.

Now here is the truth. Have you heard some say that Christmas is a Pagan celebration or that it has Pagan roots?
Please, let me set the record straight. Christmas (Feast of the Nativity) was never Pagan. It was created and placed on the solstice in order to usurp that day from the Pagans. Now, Christmas may have taken on Pagan attributes such as trees etc. but its origins are utterly Christian. Please read the quoted text below.
No, it was never Pagan. Wikipedia states: "It was a custom of the Pagans to celebrate on the same 25 December the birthday of the Sun, at which they kindled lights in token of festivity. In these solemnities and revelries, the Christians also took part. Accordingly, when the doctors of the Church perceived that the Christians had a leaning to this festival, they took counsel and resolved that the true Nativity should be solemnized on that day" Also: "As Christmas was known to early Christian writers, it must have been introduced during apostolic times. Irenaeus mentioned it in his list of feasts" Also: "The earliest known Christmas celebration is recorded in a first-century document called the Apostolic Constitutions. This manuscript, thought to have been written by Clement Romanus around the year AD 70, is believed to record a celebration that occurred in the earliest days of Christianity." So, the feast of the Nativity was purposefully placed on that day to usurp it from the Pagans. There are no Pagan roots.
Notice the phrase from Irenaeus, "they took counsel and resolved that the true Nativity should be solemnized on that day" That does not mean that Jesus was born on the 25th. It means that they decided to place a new celebration on that day. Undoubtedly, this took place with the full knowledge and probably counsel of the Apostles.
@@davidbrogan606 -_- wow.. You tried so hard for abselotuely nothing. This person probably didn't even see your reply
Can we celebrate the original one that sounds better than presents
Yes, but the early Church made the pagan celebration an occasion to contextualize (not syncretism) the gospel as Paul did.
💭💭💭
The reason Christianity adopted ALL of their holidays from pagan roots is because the only way to get people to say they worshiped this one particular sky fairy was to allow them to party on all their sacred days, but they decided that the names and "reasons" for the partying and debauchery should be rooted in their particular mythology.
@@waynetec13 🤯
The bible does mention that when Jesus was born the Shepard's were in the field tending to their flock, they wouldn't have been doing that in the winter, so he was probably born in the fall.
Do you know how much happier we would be if we did away with these silly holidays? So many people are depressed around this time.
And also waisting a lot of money

Trees where brought into the house close to the fire because the mushrooms drying on the tree where being attacked by squirrels and such, the amanita muscaria mushroom was the gift left drying in a sock by that same fire. The gifts were not left in secret while the people slept because the shaman was expected to come, not Santa, Shaman’s we’re copied by the spirit of commerce. The true reason for the season was to celebrate new things, New Years, new season of rest and warmth and of using the things you gave thanksgiving for.
It's of the devil
Thats very cool. U don't know how sick it makes me to hear these churches teaching kids about Santa claus
So christmas is not real?
Christmas is not real,anything that is not originat from Bible is fake,even Jesus did not celebrate his birthday while he was on earth,no were in the Bible shows the date Jesus Christ was born,after his death he did not asked us to celebrate his birthday,so...what they are celebrating now is a pegan worship that as nothing to do with is birth,
How about gratitude
Nop!!
No it's not real..
You are right. Lets give charity and food to the most in needs rather than spending our way for the meaningless gift.
Christmas is a slap in Jesus face and so many people are knowingly or unknowingly taking part. It's sad and disturbing.
Also at Luke 2:8 it says "There were also in the same region shepherds living out of doors and keeping watch in the night over their flocks." I don't know about anyone else but I would die living out in a field at the end of December.
@Roger King oh, I know. That was supposed to be the point. Sorry, I guess I wasn't quite specific enough.

You contradict yourself.
@@SuperEdge67 Think it through a little better.
@@davidbrogan606 Yep read it again and your statement is still contradictory. The quote uses the words ‘usurp (ie stole) it from the Pagans’. You also rightfully acknowledge that many of the rituals of Christmas are Pagan in origin. So modern Christmas is basically a combination of Pagan rituals and a celebration of the supposed birth of Christ, even though he most certainly wasn’t born on Dec 25th.
Can I ask you if you are a Christian?
@@SuperEdge67 That is exactly false. They redeemed the day. They copied none of the old rituals and they did it on God's request. The fruit thereof has been beautiful and has brought glory to God. Modern commercialism is unfortunate though. The addition of Santa is bizarre and the parallels with Paganism should give one pause. But the origins of the holiday are pure.
@@davidbrogan606 ‘They copied none of the old rituals’..........except decorating trees, feasts, gifts....etc.etc. Sorry didn’t realise you were a religious fanatic.

merry christmas eve
I have a question to people who say "day is not matter. the matter is who we celebrate". Don't you know how important origin is in bible?
only fact is you celebrate at pagan's day.
@Khrotso Koza you're silly
I think it is kind of ok
it's not okay to spread lies about Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him), he is completely innocent from this pagan holiday called 'Christmas'. So, no, it's not OK.
St. Nicholas was not a Turkish bishop! At that time, the area in which he lived was Greek!
George Kosich
Thanks i didnt even knew that one
And i live in the netherland
Very artificial. BTW, St. Nicholas was not Turkish. In fact, at that time, Turk tribes were still in central Asia steps. If his birth place is called Turkey today doesnæt make him a Turk! St. Nicholas was Greek.
The date doesn't matter, it's who we celebrate that matters
You should celebrate Jesus birth every day. You don't have to wait till 25th to celebrate it .
Daniel 6:10
10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
@@imahis3195 It's always typical of people and many false and progressive christians to pull up a quotes from scripture to back up their writtens and not truly understanding what it means.
The Birth, Death, Gospel and Life of Jesus Christ must be celebrated and adored by all christians through the calender year and throughout their life, just as the community itself must set aside days and periods in the year to truly celebrate and share with the world the good things that the Lord our God has done for us throughout the days we have lived by His word and teachings and with great belief that no matter the trails we face now better days are set before soon to be embraced.
Every single day throughout the year is some ancient pagan ritual day, so are we saying that Christians don't have the right to pick a day and make it their own by celebrating their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ?
Lenard Twum I don't think 25th is the birth of Jesus. 25th is actually the birth of sun God.
@@imahis3195 Of course 25th isn't the birthday of Jesus
So you realize , the 25th isn't his birthday. You realize the 25 has been celebrated by pagans for many years. But yet you still christianize it so you dont have to stop and can justify to yourself. Prayers sent , God bless 🙏
It's honestly sooo annoying hearing people say that Christmas has pagan roots. Anyone who knows anything about the Early Catholic Church is that it was staunchly anti pagan in the 3rd and 4th centuries. They were persecuted by Rome for refusing to worship Roman gods and, even still, they fought pagan influence in the Church and paid for it with torture and death. Many say that Sol Invictus was the reason for December 25 being on Christmas. But this makes no sense since early 3rd Century church writings explicitly state the date being chosen since Church Tradition states that Christ died on the day of his conception and that since his death was calculated on the 25th of March, his birth was likely December 25 or in the East January 6th. And fact, the record of the caculation of Christ's birth is dated as far back as the 220s while Sol Invictus was only officially recognized in 274. As for the Christmas tree, it wasn't mainstream until the 16th century. And stating that there is pagan connection to Christmas because other cultures and religion had a celebration near that time I'd silly. They celebrated their events because of harvests or change in season. But Christmas is celebrated SPECIFICALLY for the birth of Christ. So no, Christmas is uniquely Christian, celebrating the Birth of Christ not because some Scandinavian or Roman said so. Two things are necessary in a pagan root: Correlation AND intent by the Church to use practices.
Paganism
I've seen your comments on one of the other chats. Where did you get your research? How long have you been studying? What is your...faith?
@@nicolekinzonzi1832 They say Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus and yet what do decorated evergreen tree, mistletoe, santa claus have to do with the birth of Jesus? While for others Christmas means drinking, parties and panties.
Learn about the history of Christmas. You will notice something had happen and it didn't related to the birth of Christ at all.
@@nicolekinzonzi1832 tell me who was Krampus? Who is Santa? Santa or Satan?
@@nicolekinzonzi1832Trinity was not a new doctrine. It was already been adopted in other religion/faith before Christianity. Already been adopted as early during the time of Nimrod. Search about the Nimrod Trinity. Nimrod had an incest relationship with his own mother, Semiramis and their son, Tammuz was borned right after Nimrod died. Tammuz was believed by Semiramis as the incarnation of Nimrod.
Statue of Liberty? Who's that woman holding the torch? She is Semiramis.
