We have been deceived…
Do you know what Christmas is?
[World Mission Society Church of God]This might be a stupid question, even to non Christians because it’s a lot easy and most answers are likely to be “It is the birthday of Jesus Christ.”, however, how many people including Christians would know that Christmas, which is Dec 25, is not the birthday of Jesus but the birthday of sun god?
Actually, the precise day of Jesus’ birth, which historians place between 7 and 2 BC, is unknown (quoted from Wikipedia) and Bible does not say anything about Christmas, which was just designated as the Jesus’ birthday by Western Christian church(men’s authority) in the early-to-mid 4th century.
Some people might think it would be OK to gather together and worship God in a church with the mind full of thanksgiving to God, even though Christmas is not the birth date of Jesus, however, would God agree with that?
Rev 22:18~19 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book. If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.
God said that we must never add anything to Bible and Christmas cannot be found in any part of Bible, therefore, keeping Christmas which means to worship God in Christmas saying it is the birthday of Jesus is adding something to Bible and it will result in receiving plagues from God.

History convincingly shows that Dec. 25 was popularized as the date for Christmas, not because Christ was born on that day but because it was already popular in pagan religious celebrations as the birthday of the sun.
But is it possible that Dec. 25 could be the day of Christ’s birth?
“Lacking any scriptural pointers to Jesus’s birthday, early Christian teachers suggested dates all over the calendar. Clement. . . picked November 18. Hippolytus . . . figured Christ must have been born on a Wednesday . . . An anonymous document[,] believed to have been written in North Africa around A.D. 243, placed Jesus’s birth on March 28” (Jeffery Sheler, U.S. News & World Report, “In Search of Christmas,” Dec. 23, 1996, p. 58).
A careful analysis of Scripture, however, clearly indicates that Dec. 25 is an unlikely date for Christ’s birth. Here are two primary reasons.
First, we know that shepherds were in the fields watching their flocks at the time of Jesus’ birth (Luke 2:7-8). Shepherds were not in the fields during December. According to Celebrations: The Complete Book of American Holidays, Luke’s account “suggests that Jesus may have been born in summer or early fall. Since December is cold and rainy in Judea, it is likely the shepherds would have sought shelter for their flocks at night” (p. 309).
Similarly, The Interpreter’s One-Volume Commentary says this passage argues “against the birth [of Christ] occurring on Dec. 25 since the weather would not have permitted” shepherds watching over their flocks in the fields at night.
Second, Jesus’ parents came to Bethlehem to register in a Roman census (Luke 2:1-4). Such censuses were not taken in winter, when temperatures often dropped below freezing and roads were in poor condition. Taking a census under such conditions would have been self-defeating.
Given the difficulties and the desire to bring pagans into Christianity, “the important fact then . . . to get clearly into your head is that the fixing of the date as December 25th was a compromise with paganism” (William Walsh, The Story of Santa Klaus, 1970, p. 62)
If Jesus Christ wasn’t born on Dec. 25, does the Bible indicate when He was born? The biblical accounts point to the fall of the year as the most likely time of Jesus’ birth, based on the conception and birth of John the Baptist.
Since Elizabeth (John’s mother) was in her sixth month of pregnancy when Jesus was conceived (Luke 1:24-36), we can determine the approximate time of year Jesus was born if we know when John was born. John’s father, Zacharias, was a priest serving in the Jerusalem temple during the course of Abijah (Luke 1:5). Historical calculations indicate this course of service corresponded to June 13-19 in that year (The Companion Bible, 1974, Appendix 179, p. 200).
It was during this time of temple service that Zacharias learned that he and his wife Elizabeth would have a child (Luke 1:8-13). After he completed his service and traveled home, Elizabeth conceived (verses 23-24). Assuming John’s conception took place near the end of June, adding nine months brings us to the end of March as the most likely time for John’s birth. Adding another six months (the difference in ages between John and Jesus) brings us to the end of September as the likely time of Jesus’ birth.
This is the reason why we, the World Mission Society Church of God don’t celebrate Christmas. It is not in the Bible, it was established by Constantine.
Mark 7:8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.
Mother is the one who gives strength to children. Even though we are sinners who made her come down to this earth, the land of suffering, still she gives only one message to the whole world, “I care about you. You are my everything.” We should listen to Mother’s message and come back to Mother for eternal life.
That’s the smart thiinnkg we could all benefit from.
What is not from the Bible is not from God the Savior!
We are to distinguish the truth from the false.
The devil tries to lead us astray through the man-made rules!
Right, if we fail to distinguish the truth from the false, then, we’ll fail to inherit heavenly kingdom!
Never would have thunk I would find this so inenpseisabld.
We ought to listen to the Bible, the words of God!
If NOT, we will be deceived by the devil, ending up with the 2nd death in the lake of fire!
I’ve learned that Christmas has nothing to do with the Bible.
I’ve also deceived by this lie before attending the World Mission Society Church of God.
I came to tell the false from the truth. It was Elohim God’s grace for me.
We need to think what meaning of Christmas is , where it comes from and why Christians celebrates it.
Most people do not know this deeply and join in it. God do not like to honor idol and to make man’s tradition in the faith for God.
1 Samuel 15:22 “To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.”
Christmas is not from the Bible, nor from God the Savior!
