Why don’t I celebrate Christmas
Posted by admin on December 2nd, 2008 filed in Faith
I am asked often why I don’t celebrate Christmas, because it the Messiah birth. There are a few reasons. 1 because it really is not Yeshua birthday he would have been born in one of the Fall Festivals. 2. Mithras is worshipping the sun god, so why would we want to own the birth of our Messiah with Mithras.
Mithras savior which they think came was born on December 25, this is worshipping a false god and we are told in the Commands of G-d not to worship false gods. Christmas came into being because of anti Jewish doctrine of the church. This should have never happened; G-d did not want us to leave our roots. He had laws for none Hebrew or Israeli people who wanted to serve him in the Old Testament and I do not believe it changed. Yeshua said he didn’t come to abolish the law but to fulfill the law. Yeshua celebrate the Jewish Holidays, G-ds appointed times, he didn’t not celebrate Mithras. He would have probably classified it as worshipping of false gods, and would have believed this behavior to be wrong.
Now do I believe my Christian friends are all condemned to hell? No, by all means not at all. I believe they will not be held accountable for doing what they have been taught is okay to do. Plus many of them do not even know how Christmas came to be or how it relates to Mithras who is a pagan god and religion. Do I judge them no, I simply do not agree with them. I believe G-d hears them and sees them and knows there heart and if they are willing to learn the truth and allow G-d to work in them they might feel differently.
Now I can understand traditions and how it is easy to continue following in tradition. Before I really knew and understood Christmas, I celebrated it. Then I heard something and started looking into it, I wanted to learn and what I learned I felt convicted, so I felt it’s best to not celebrate it.
G-d gave his appointed times and those appointed time take time and effort for us. When I celebrate them or honor them, I seem to feel more at home with my faith. It natural to me, and I understand it better than anything else.
You know in the Bible I do not think it ever documented Yeshua celebrated his birthday or not. The only time it talked about his birth was when his parents took him to the temple at 8 days old to name and circumcise him. Now I do believe Birthdays are important and it’s okay to celebrate them and give Thanks to G-d for the Year of life He’s given you. So to make a long story short my understanding of Christmas I personally do not think it the way I should honor his birth.
I am looking forward to Chanukah, and maybe this year hubby and I can invite a couple of friends over for dinner. I guess I will have to consider all the stains on my dining room carpet, home theater carpet would stain less.
