NO NO NO!   SANTA CLAUS IS JUST AN IMAGINARY BEING. A MADE UP MYTH.AN IDOL.JESUS WAS PLAINLY NOT BORN ON DEC 25 .AS JO PLAINLY SAID
 
Job 3
 1.  After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
 2.  And Job spake, and said,
 3.  Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
 4.  Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
 5.  Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
 6.  As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
 7.  Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
 8.  Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
 9.  Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day.
 
I mean get real how could some fat old man fly all the way around the world in one night!duh! The fastest planes can barely do that and netherlone  stop climd down chimley climb back up  stop climd down chimley climb back up  stop climd down chimley climb back up....................................................................................................................................

Hello I would be one who would like to confirm that it is a good thing to celebrate the birth of Christ.For when I was lost then I was without Christ. But when God saw fit to call me out of sin and into his Kingdom the birth of Christ was the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me.Being born again of the incorruptable Word of God where I could call to my Father who gave me life and say thank you Jesus.

Joie do you really think Jesus would object to us giving gifts to one another?, doing something kind for your fellow man?, if I recall, He said it is always good to do good!
Can you tell me what people are doing wrong by holiday joy?... Paul I believe said something to the effect, not concerned with motive!, only that Christ be preached!...
I 've been around a long time!, and I have yet to see anyone worship a christmas tree or even santa claus! Nope!, not even one place i ever visited did I see them bowing and praising tree or the Claus, and that goes for the "Easta bunny" too!...NOW!
May I ask you a question?...Is your house painted?, do you have pictures?, vases of flowers, nic nacs, any furniture other than table chairs and bed?...hmmm?...
I lived that way once!, burned everything that was not needed for survival!...
No TV, no radio, no newspaper, no books, (other than bible related) no contact with unclean people, cursed their christmas trees (Jeremiah)!
I most likely made you look like a heathen!...I for years 52/7's rose up before light, always carried a bible, (or two!) went to meet God and the brethern, prayed for hours (without ceasing) night and day!...Spoke next to NOTHING but the scriptures..."Then the light came, knocked me off my high horse"...
I think God threw up on us!...What? us? why we were Godmen!...How could He do such a thing?...Got news for ya! He did!...
The work is to labor in the faith!, Jude 1:3 doing so, in love along with others, not berate and beat up the babes and your neighbors!...
Jesus turned his back on religious people as these!, said I will go to a people who do not even seek me!...They will hear me!...You guys love religion!, Not me!...Cause if you Loved me!, you would Love one another!...

You know this really amazes me. You all do not want anything to do with Jesus when it comes to being baptized in his name. But when it comes to all this pagan mess you jump on the band wagon and say let's put the name of Jesus in xmas when you will  not even take on his name in bapism. My advice to you all is to take the advice of the 11 year old boy that started this thread. He has more insight on this than you all.
 
His Words were--- It is just riddiculis and stupid.

Now this amazes me.  Here are two men and a woman, each claiming to be with God, who think they have the authority or power to completely CHANGE WHAT GOD'S OWN WORD SAYS AND CONDEMNS IDOL WORSHIP,  YET THESE THREE PROPLE SCOFF AT US WHO BELIEVE IN OBEYING GOD'S OWN WORD AS TO HOW HE WILL RECEIVE WORSHIP.
 
Jyp, I know from your own words exactly why God put you 'godmen' down.  You were going in the strength of your own conceit.  Since you do not believe in the Baptism of the HG, you were only doing that stuff in your own puffed up
human mind.  God rejected that.  God also rejected Cains' human sacrifice of self-righteous works -= doing things your way; not God's way.
 
God condemned people trying to worship him the way heathens worship their idols.  if you knew any truth, you would know that they always used the green trees in that worship.  Not one time in the Word of God is green trees  brought into the true worship of God.  No, not once.
 
Now you do not know what constitutes worship.  anything you honour is worship.  You do not have to 'bow' to a thing to worship it.
 
God said In Jonah (or is it Honah? _)  that if you REGARD a lying  VANITY , you forsake your own mercy.
 
Look up regard;  it means a form of worship which is just to stand and gaze at something.  This is honour, or worship.
 
So this makes everything connected with x-mess, idols.  for all you do it gaze at all that fake, mess of idols you think is anything to do with Jesus' birth.  It is so stinky there is no words bad enough for it.
 
Santa c. is a lying VANITY.  You are just in such ignorance, your kind is what is going to bring the total wrath of God against our country.  God said it is a nation MAD ON THEIR IDOLS.
 
No nation on earth has ever been so steeped in idols as America.  You are mad on your idols.  What makes it worse is you try to justify your idol worship in the name of Jesus.
 
You are warned;  it is the fake Jesus; not the true.
 
Isaiah, that is good you brought out.  True.  The Word TOLD  US TO REMEMBER  HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION.
 
NOW SURELY IF GOD WANTED HIS BIRTH REMEMBERED AND CELEBRATED AND BLESSED, HE WOULD HAVE AND COULD HAVE TOLD US THAT ALSO.
 
THE VERY FACT THAT IT IS NOT TOLD TO US,  CONDEMNS IT.
 
These three people think they can go above God's own head and do as they please and make him accept it.  I tell you, it is total self-deception.
 
God rejected Cain's offering, and he will reject your gift exchanging and merry making and green tree decorations and all your silly lights hung up on your houses, you are headed into destruction.  For you flat refuse to be enlightened and receive correction from His Word.
 
But all your silly excuses that you are showing 'love' by 'giving' is a message from satan and hell.
 
Gifts of love do not depend upon heathen devil, idol worship holidays for being given.  Such stupid, ridiculous, foolish people you all are.
 
God has rejected you.
 
You are out in the darkness of your own rebellion and self-will.
 
Jo

Deuteronomy 12    
12:1
These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
12:2
Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
12:3
And ye shall overthrow  their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.

If they were not worshiping these things, why were they told by God to destroy

these trees and groves?

How did you confirm that you are celebrating the Messiah's birthday. And if it was not important to Him, why is it to you?

It was a command from God to his people then to destroy all the heathen's idols.  It is a command to us today.
You people had better get to destroying those idols out of your lives if you expect to ever be with God.
 
else you are all hell bound.  and I do mean that place of fire and torment.
 
God is not going to take you rebels into heaven when you cause his jealousy to flare up because you are committing spiritual adultery against Him with your worship of your idols.
 
Your land IS FULL OF IDOLS.  THEY ARE EVERYWHERE.  AND YOU ALL LOVE TO HAVE IT SO.  YOU WOULD NOT DEPART FROM THIS MESS FOR HEAVEN.
 
Ask Isaiah.  I told him you all had just ignored the messages we posted in years past against these evils.  I told him God showed me that you all are guilty and not willing to give this mess up for Him and that is why you will not deal with it.  I told him God said for us to push this this year until you all expose the truth.
 
See it worked.  You all admit that you love your idols. Oh sure you are in denial that it is idols.  But God's Word proves it is.  Where did God tell you to celebrate Jesus' birthday?  where did any apostle [of course you all deny the apostles anyway] but where did any of them say,
 
happy birthday jesus?
 
How foolish you all are.!!!!!

another thing........WHEN DID GOD LEAVE IT UP TO MAN TO DECIDE WHICH DAY TO DO THINGS ON?  WHEN DID HE SAY NOW YOU ALL JUST FIGURE OUT FOR YOURSELVES WHAT DAY I DID THIS ONE OR THAT OR.....OR WHICH DAY MY SON WAS BORN ON......OR JUST PICK ANY OLD DAY AND TELL JESUS HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON IT.
 
ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT SAME DAY IS THE VERY ONE SATAN HAS HAD HIS BIRTHDAY PARTIES ON FOR OVER 4,000 YEARS?  OH, SAYS GOD,  IT DOES NOT MATTER......JUST ANY OLD DAY WILL DOO..........IT MATTERS NOT IF IT IS REALLY NOT HIS BIRTHDAY......JUST HAVE ALL YOUR PARTIES AND LIGHTS,, AND GIFT EXCHANGING,  AND MERRY MAKING FOR HIM  ON THE DAY SATAN, SATURN, MOLECH, TAMMUZ AND MANY OTHER SUNGOD IDOLS HAS THEIR DAY PARTY ON,,,,,,,,, THAT IS OK.........GOD DOES NOT CARE......
 
SINCE WHEN IS GOD PRECISE ABOUT ANYTHING????????   NOW PEOPLE ADMIT  it, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE ALL ACCUSING THE LIVING GOD OF.
 
YOU HAD BETTER OPEN YOUR BLINDED EYES UP AND LEARN TO SEE --------IF YOU DESIRE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
 
I was still in my early 20's with small children the first time I heard this truth preached.  Did I fight it and call that man names for teaching this truth?  No, not for one minute.  I was trilled with this truth the very first time I heard it.  I began immediately to search history and found the truth of what the man said.  [ IF  you had the Spirit of Truth, you would do the same.]
 
Wish I knew how to contact that man today, if he is still alive,  I would love to tell him a big  THANK  YOU  FOR OPENING THE LIGHT UP FOR ME.
 
NO, I did not reject this truth because of small children.  I began to teach them the truth and never raised them in idolatry.
 
THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR YOUR HOLY TRUTH.  THANK YOU FOR DELIVERING ME FROM ALL THIS DEVIL WORSHIP MESS.

Sister/Brother Joie and Isaiah, and anyone else!
I see you did not answer my simple question!...Are you involved with anything other than the basic necessities of life?...  "See the birds of the air, the flowers of the field"!...etc. 
Also may I quote something!...I like these words "a loaf of bread, a bottle of wine and thou"... very simple!, eh?
Anyway can you answer my simple questions above?, and please without screaming, it is a vexation to the Spirit!...I do not believe Jesus would approve of screaming at and berating your brethern and the babes in Christ...
Kinda makes you appear as a mean ole step parents, also anyone can be kind and loving to them which agree with them, even the heathen do that!...
Now, sister/brother, whosoever who believes,  you are not a heathen, and should not act as one!...
A soft kind loving word, turns! ...  "God is Love"!, not a bunch of coercing doctrines!...
"Woman, where are your accusers"?...   Do you really understand that verse?...

Matthew 2: 11 : and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
First gifts, and of course, Jesus at this point was not an infant, for He was a young "child". 
There is a scripture.
Apostles being denied?  I don't think so for you said it, not me.
All of it sounds like a mad Baptist to me and one who thinks I am a heathen.  That is not what Jesus desired....did He give gifts to others?  Yes...even to the point of spitting in one man's eyes twice to "give" eyesight to this fellow.  Everyone He touched, and everyone who touched Him was made whole...all "gifts" and all He asked was we believe in the Kingdom of God that He was preaching and teaching. 
You know better than to ever think that I am a satan worshipper......and the "X-mas" thing...in High School was the first time I ever heard about it or saw it.  My teacher told us to abbreviate Christmas this way would take Christ out of Christmas. 
My feelings are:  Christ is better than an "X"......and since so many people associate Christ with Christmas and the birth of Christ...then you'd be double-minded to make Him an X.   How could a Christian do that?
First person who ever told me they did not celebrate Christmas was a Nazarene.  And she wore skirts in gym...we wore the required uniform.  It was weird to me.  Skirts doesn't look so good when you are making the moves we did in gym.
Now, you got on me for the X and Peter.  In the back of the book (KJV Bible)is a writing under the name of Peter.  It says that  Peter went to Rome where tradition says that he was crucified head downward by Nero (A.D. 68)
In the book of St John, Christ told Peter of his (Peter's) death,
21:18   Verily, verily, I say unto thee, .....: but when thous shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee wither thou wouldest not.
So, what did that mean?  You can explain it to me, please do.
The very last verse of this chapter says Jesus did so many other things that the world itself could not hold the books should it all be written down.
So, if it is not written, it did not happen?  What did that verse just say?
Can you tell me how Peter died? 
Do you think that it is not written down somewhere?  I think it probably is.  It was not cool to be an apostle.  The religious people killed them! 
It wasn't cool to be Jesus...it happened to Him too!  Never accepted in His Own Land....
and here, a Christian cannot be accepted by other Christians.....history repeats itself.
All I know is Jesus was born, and I know where He is now....and you do not even love me as He said you should. 
If I was a heathen.....would you try to save me and love me then?  Would you tell me good things about Jesus and why I should believe in Him?  Do you tell me how good God is?

Yes, and do you think he loves having this taken and used to try to justify celebrating devil-worship days?  I think not.

There is nothing 'holy' about this evil.  You all are just upset because someone is once again teaching the TRUTH to you, that all of this is heathen and you are not willing to give up your idol worship for the true Jesus.

If I tell you the truth, that is the only love there is.  Those who told you Christ was in this heathen sun-god worship idol worship day from way back in Nimrods day, are the ones who hate your soul.

God is NOT going to excuse your frollocking and 'sending gifts' to each other celebrating the death of his witnesses just because you call it in honour to him.  I can assure you that He will not hold you guiltless.

Those gifts the wise men brought to Jesus had not one thing to do with his birthday.  Not one thing!  You cannot make it be so, no matter how much you try.

You really need to study Deut. 12.  No need for me to copy it here for you; Isaiah already has.  You do not care what God says about anything;  all you care about is having it your way.  If God blotted the birthday of Jesus out of existence [and He did!] then you better be sure He is not going to put up with your fake idol-worship being called the birthday of Jesus!

Now telling you the truth to try to save your soul is the only love there is.  Just because you take offense at it does not make it be the way I am saying these things.  God sent me to teach this truth, and I will do so as long as I live.  Maybe not to you,  but I will spend the rest of my life, as I have the past 45 or so years doing, teaching against this devil -worship in the name of a fake jesus.

YOu do deny the Apostles teaching when you refuse to be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and be filled with the Baptism of the HG with the same evidence they had = speaking in tongues.

Until you obey that, you are lost anyway.  To try to get in some other way, is just another way of trying to go over God's head and make him accept your false offering.  He is never going to accept your fake worship of an X-mess day.  mess.  it is mess, puke.  silly foolishness.

'happy birthday jesus'  puke!  Is he a little boy?  yes, i call all of you foolish for this mess.

Eric how could jesus's birthday be every day? He only had one and it was blotted out of existance.Here is a scripture proving it .and do you know that job is talking about JESUS?
 
Job 3
 1.  After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
 2.  And Job answered and said:
 3.  Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived.
 4.  Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine upon it.
 5.  Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.
 6.  As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it: Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months.
 7.  Lo, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come therein.
 8.  Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
 9.  Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:
 10.  Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.
 11.  Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?
 12.  Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck?
 13.  For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,
 14.  With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;
 15.  Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:
 16.  Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.
 17.  There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest.
 18.  There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
 19.  The small and the great are there: And the servant is free from his master.
 20.  Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul;
 21.  Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;
 22.  Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad, when they can find the grave?
 23.  Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in?
 24.  For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groanings are poured out like water.
 25.  For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.
 26.  I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble cometh.

Jason; have you not been on the earth long enough, to realize that the Messiah is you and you are He ? That there is no life
where the Messiah is not. Certainly there are new borns everyday, and He is there life.

As I sat here tonight and finished moving this great thread to the special Holiday board, I am amazed at the things written here.  I am amazed at the fact that my eleven year old grandson started this thread and wrote such Spiritually intelligent messages to this.  May God richly bless that child and lead him on into greater things for the Kingdom of God.
 
Now I wish to add this:  None of you can take this evil day of idol worship and make God accept it.  You may try, but it is just never going to work.
All of your rebellion to this truth proves to me that people love their idols more than truth and their eternal life.
 
God has made it very clear in His Word, that birthday celebrations is not of God.  He made it clear that he blotted the day of Jesus' birth out of existance.  This alone proves, more than anything else, that God hates this day of frollicking and foolishness and calling it celebrating His Son's birthday.
 
How can you BLESS what God has CURSED?  God clearly CURSED THAT DAY.  You are fighting against God to try to do so.
 
Now if you can find a place in the Word of God exonarating this foolishness, bring it forth.  If you can find one place showing that the disciples or anyone in the Scripture every did this mess, then show it.  If it is not in the word, how can you justify it?
 
I suppose this is why some of you get so upset here and stopped dealing with us.  So be it.  Know that in the end, God will show you that we taught you the truth and you rejected it for your idols.
 
You all wish to be on your way to heaven.......but.you still wish to be just like the rest of the world.....and live in your sins........it is not going to work.
 
You have been warned.
