1. CHRISTMAS IS MYTHOLOGICAL. There was a little boy who brought his musical instrument to baby Jesus - which instrument? How many kings visited Him? What did the angels sing? Which reindeer had a red nose. Most Americans can answer: a drum, three kings, "peace on earth" and Rudolph. These answers are ALL WRONG. The Drummer Boy and Rudolph have never existed. There were no kings, but an unspecified number of Magi. The angels did not sing - ONE angel SAID, "...peace on earth..." These lies are all in fun, right? Well, real Christians do not enjoy mixing fables with the Truth! ...we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses... 2 Peter 1:16
2. CHRISTMAS IS HERETICAL. "He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows when you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness' sake." Who is this all-knowing judge? Jehovah the Trinity? Nope, it's just an old fat man in a red fur suit. What a disappointment! ...I am God, and there is no other; God, and there is no one like Me, declaring the end from the beginning... Isaiah 46:9&10
3. CHRISTMAS IS A POPISH FESTIVAL. The Apostles knew nothing of "Christ's Mass" - or of any mass at all. Priests, candles, human carols and expensive decor are all man-made errors with no Scriptural basis. Guillaume Durand, a 13th century expert on litergy, admitted that the Church had strayed from the rules of Jesus: "Clearly, in the early church, the sacrifice was carried out in wooden vessels and common clothing; for at that time the cups were wooden and the priests golden: but now it is just the opposite." (Rationale Divinorum Officiorum, book I) Why would Protestants, who never keep All Souls' Day, Epiphany or Lent, demand Christ's Mass complete with icons and candles? But in vain do they worship me, Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Matthew 15:9 |
