The Sins of Christmas
Can your sins of Christmas Observance keep you out of God's kingdom from receiving eternal life?
A confessed believer desiring to know the true Jesus Christ of Scripture cannot participate in all of the Christmas rituals and symbolism borrowed from past sun worshippers, Deut. 12:1-3, 28-32, in the name and worship of a false Christmas Christ, which is a false god and still be accepted for eternal life. This idolatry along with all the other sins committed in Christmas observance and its celebration will keep a believer from being accepted by Jesus Christ for salvation. It is true that the Christ of Scripture and His sacrifice does cover over sin, and forgive sins if there is repentance and change in behavior, but His death and shed blood will not cover a person's sins of Christmas observance without a total change of heart in repentance, to stop participating and being involved in all the sins of Christmas and its observance.
In plain words, a believer will not be accepted by Jesus Christ, who continues in Christmas observance with all of its sins and still have his sins washed away, forgiven, justified by Jesus Christ. This is true unless there is a total repentance, a total change in heart, which is a commanded requirement of Christ's Word for receiving the gift of eternal life. The Christ of Scripture began His ministry preaching repentance, but today, people do not even know what is repentance! Repentance is a change of heart to stop breaking God's commandments. All professed believers in today's accepted Christianity live their lives above God's law and commandments, meaning that they believe and have been taught that they will not have to answer for their committed sins against God's 10 commandments, by being punished in the day of judgment. These so called Christians do not believe God's Word that says if "they don't repent then they will perish for their sins." They just do not believe the Word of God that says, "you must repent or suffer the judgment of death," Mat. 4:17, Rom. 6:23.
Today's average Christian believes he will be accepted by Jesus Christ and raptured up without repenting of his sins. First, to be raptured up into heaven as it is preached is a big lie and secondly, today's Christian believes Christ has done it all for him, and so he believes he has nothing to do to be saved, except accept His name, which is another big lie. Today's accepted Christianity is in total deception about everything that constitutes true Christianity, and one of the main reasons is because people have been taught to accept lies as children through Christmas observance, along with lies and deception they hear every Sunday morning in their churches and through their television broadcasts.
The observance and celebration of Christmas and the season that is associated with it is built on the lies of Satan, the deception and evil of today churches, who worship a false god, a false Christmas Christ and this false worship gets bigger every year. All of this should bring to ever thinking person, which is a rare gem in today's Christianity, the manifested sins that this season and day generates and promulgates every year, but covered over by today's Christianity. This holiday is accepted, kept and observed by today's Christianity and society just like it is a law of the land, and a command of God, whereas all businesses totally shut down on Dec. 25th in commemoration and honor of this day and season of lies and idolatry.
This action of observance and its action to close down businesses tries to copy or imitate what God commands in the keeping of His annual Holy Days, that all businesses and labor are to shut down during His annual Holy Days and His weekly Sabbath. But keeping this unholy day of Christmas is not a command of God, instead it is an accepted command and suggestion of Satan through the teaching of His enlightened ministers, who, along with all the store merchants help to keep this God hated holiday and feast day of man and his churches, Isa. 1:14, alive and getting bigger every year and is accepted by all the churches and its members. And anyone not of these false churches who does not observe this season and day is looked upon as a very odd, or a self-righteous person, as not loving their false Christmas Christ, odd by not loving children by not lying to them at this season, and odd as not really being a friend to the world, its society, all because this odd person believes the Christ of Scripture who says in James 4:4 "he who is a friend to the world is an enemy to Christ."
On our web site we have a number of articles that can help you understand about Christmas and all the wickedness and sins that are involved with observing and celebrating this day of the year. These messages give much more detail than this article, and shows you how all of the evils of Christmas and its observance is an enemy to and works against the true Christ of the Bible, and against all what His life and death stands to represent. One such article is about the sin of idolatry, that exposes the false Christ of Christmas, where a church created, spiritual image and idol is created to represent the true Christ, and this false worship becomes a stumbling block of deception to the minds and hearts of families. This idol image is created and raised up through a false Christianity, and worshipped at Christmas, and causes people to accept lies. This article is titled, The Created Christmas Christ.
We have another article about another created idol at this season that is put in the minds of all the children, naive little children, causing them to accept lies, and this message makes clear the sin of idolatry pertaining to the Santa Claus idol that has been created to be associated with Christmas, and it is titled Is Santa Claus A Christmas Idol? Another article that points out how Christmas is nothing less than eating of the fruit of the forbidden tree, the fruit of self worship of being the god of one's own life in deciding what is right or wrong, that God commands His people not to eat from and bear the fruit of this tree in their life, for it will bring certain death. This article is titled Christmas And The Forbidden Tree
Other very interesting and revealing articles expose more of the sins of Christmas as it relates to how today's Christianity looks over and accepts all the committed sins and lies pertaining to Christmas, and how Satan has subtly deceived today's professed Christianity into accepting the sins of Christmas as good and worship of the true Jesus Christ found in Scripture. The articles are entitled Satan's Big Deception Christianizing Christmas , showing how society and its churches have deceived the people into accepting Christmas as being of Christ. Is Keeping Christmas Sin , and The Lying Spirit of Christmas are 2 more articles that makes it plain about all of the sins that are committed of just how all of God's 10 commandments are broken at the Christmas Season, but accepted as good, not evil, fulfilling prophecy where Scripture says of today that people will accept evil and sin and call it good and Christian, Isa. 5:20-25, but God says He will punish the evil doers. If you are truly interested in truth and believe you can still think for yourself, and have not been totally dumbed down by the churches, then don't fail to read these eye and mind opening messages that could change your life forever.
The Scripture you gave does not support your view.
It sounds like your belief is that suffering is a result of sin. The Scriptures you gave do not support that position.
Please understand, I don't mind different viewpoints being discussed, as long as you have Scripture to back up your point. And I have not seen you provide Scripture that validates your view.
