3.) Jesus, nor His Apostles ever celebrated Christmas.

Which of the above do you disagree with?
So, there's no directive in the Bible that it is allowable to drive a car, or practice usury, but plenty do so. This is so dumb, that atheists must ruin everything.

Occultation:
noun
1.
Astronomy. the passage of one celestial body in front of another, thus hiding the other from view: applied especially to the moon's coming between an observer and a star or planet.
2.
disappearance from view or notice.
3.
the act of blocking or hiding from view.
4.
the resulting hidden or concealed state.
What false hope, pinacled? That Christ loved? If Christmas is the only day people are reminded of God's love, so be it. It has absolutely nothing to do with receiving a single Christmas present.

I happen to believe Christ was born that day just because it fits. If you wish to keep trying to attach a Jewish feast or something else to it, it won't work. Jesus was not born to continue with a religion that killed him. Neither is spending too much money where it should not be spent have anything to do with him.

The Lord Jesus Christ reigns, not man's understanding. There is Thule, and holly, the pointsettia even. There are so many beautiful things about Christmas time, that if the day only concerned dishonest materialism, there could be many points made for the day to function as the day to honor Christ's birthday.

It has to do with the Solstice also. Not the beginning of it, but the fact that it has been entered into. The fact that atheists want to see anything to do with Christ removed from the public realm, including saying "Merry Christmas" and taking apart manger scenes and everything else.

The caste system is disgusting, vile, and unforgivable.

It isn't what is not mentioned it is what is.

God directed that anything tied to pagan worship, unclean things, not be part of His people and their actions.

Christmas is based on pagan beliefs and the worship of Mithras by the Romans starting the 25th of Dec, the day they celebrated the undying Sun. The tree, yule logs, the ornamentation and more is tied directly to pagan worship. Then the false things, like the "3" Kings. No number mentioned and they were NOT kings but ... pagan astrologers. They also came about 2 years after his birth when he was living in a house. God does not like falsehood memorialized.

You people fight against God not knowing what you are fighting against. Moses had came down with something the first time, and what he came down with the second time was different and Moses went up 3 times. If you understood the law, you would say,'' O, that's what why.''


People who don't understand the law are so willing to bring God down to nothing, and don't even let me hear them speak of the son after they have proved the father is evil, the son comes in the will of the father, and people are so willing to speak against God that it baffles me, I understand it from Atheist, but the enemies of God are the ones claiming to believe in something in his book, except they fight against God, they hate God and somehow they think they can find a righteous son from an evil father. It is because they don't know the temple, and so they don't know themselves.


It is always astonishing how people can rationalize a Messiah from an evil God, once you prove God is evil, THERE IS NO MESSIAH.


The greatest enemies of Messiah are anti Christ who speak against everything called of God or that is worshipped, and they are amongst the church.
