PAGAN PRACTICE?


So all these celebrations do not have any origin from  the Bible? And none of it is derived from the teaching of the LORD Jesus? Find out more...

With time, I have been graciously discipline never to refer to the help of man than putting absolute faith in God's Spirit when baffled or troubled by issues of life, both material and spiritual! 

I have restrained myself from Google and other Internet sites for answers to questions and other information surrounding all that have to do with the entire existence of one's life. 

On a very daily basis, I'm learning to look up to the instructions, directions and intimation of the Holy Spirit. He is the perfect Teacher, Helper and Comforter. 

So as I waited prayerfully with a great heart's concern about the "Christmas" issues and attitudes of millions worldwide; 

The few questions among many arose within my heart:

1. How did it start?

2. Is the term "Christmas" found in the Bible?

3. Is it from a pagan origin or from God?

4. Does it belong to the instructions Christ gave to believers to observe?

5. Which activities and rites practiced that are spiritually strengthening to the believers and pleasing and acceptable in God's sight?

6. Why does the time characterised with evil works by the majority of celebrants!

7. What aspect of the celebration fulfills the purpose of God and Christ's ministry for mankind?

With these few questions, we believe that one or two will give it a second thought with an open heart to discover the Truth in Jesus Name!

For additional information and prayerful search to be faithful in doing the perfect will of God about this matter and totally turn away from the traditions that obviously were derived from pagan backgrounds! 

"Early celebrations of Christmas are thought to have derived from Roman and other European festivals that marked the end of the harvest, and the winter solstice." (Quoted)

"What is the real origin of Christmas?

These celebrations commemorated Christ's birth and the name Christmas (Christ's Mass) is first recorded in England in 1038. 

Medieval celebrations also combined the servants-as-masters antics and gift-giving of Roman Saturnalia with customs belonging to the midwinter feast of Yule." (Qouted)
