"Merry Christmas!!!"...."um, thanks???"

Here is a really good verse concerning what a lot of people are celebrating this year!!...It comes from this really good book called the Bible and man does it have some good stuff about what we still do today...

Jeremiah 10:2-4 King James Version

"[2] Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

[3] For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
[4] They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."

oh, so maybe its talking about that tree that everyone gets and decorates...weird!...I thought Christmas was a christian holiday!??...WELL...

"There is no doubt that the December 25  birthday celebration and festival was held to honor and worship the birth of the Babylonian false messiah.  The Babylonian worship of Nimrod was carried on through secret mysterious symbols such as the sun, trees and fire.  The present day Christmas celebration has evolved out of paganistic traditions passed down through civilization after civilization.

Such things as the tree, candles, ornaments on the tree, holly, ivy, mistletoe, Yule-day, Santa Claus, feasting, caroling, lights, gift-giving, consuming of certain types of foods, and time off from work all originate from paganism.  Over the centuries, Christmas spread and gained acceptance.  True uncompromised Christians who wanted nothing to do with the idolatry of paganism rejected Christmas and refused to observe it including the Puritan founding fathers of America.  Over time, however, Christmas gained popularity in the United States and throughout the world.

It is clear that all of the customs of Christmas are rooted in the pagan idolatry and worship of the false 

Babylonian messiah. Most Christians have compromised and observed Christmas because of the traditions 

of men, obligation to the family, and feared disappointment of the children. They have changed the pagan 

meaning into Christian meanings while continuing to embrace the same pagan customs and traditions. This 

mixture principle has been used by satan for centuries to get Christians to compromise and knowingly or 

unknowingly allow themselves to be involved in a celebration honoring and worshipping a false messiah.  

Jesus truly is not the reason for the season!"

When on participates in this paganism, he is not just observing a modern-day holiday, but in reality is 

honoring and embracing all the ancient traditions of Babylonian mystery religion including acknowledging 

Nimrod as the false messiah. The Bible says to keep ourselves from idols. Therefore, we must not 

compromise the truth, but must stand up and reject Christmas!"

That is from The Truth About Christmas by David F. Middleton pg 35....and the rest of the book actually 

explains a lot more but i didn't really want to put the whole book in here..haha..

hmm, something that seemed so innocent actually turns out to be something pretty dangerous...
