Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus.” (1 Peter 5:14)The christmass tradition / feast day is the invention of pagan/papal Rome.
The christ of christmass is not the Christ of God but that of popery, the pre-eminent religion of the flesh. Ceremonies . . pageantry . . rituals with all their outward pomp are the very hallmark of Roman Catholicism. As a former Catholic converted to Christ, I know whereof I speak. Santa Claus / St. Nick . . have Catholic origins. christmass with all of its' adornments, allurements, attractions, etc., appeals to the carnal appetites of the natural man. (1 Cor.2:14) christmass appeals to the masses!
It is of the world. Even at the present time the pope of Rome is promoting a one world religion?
Surely it should come as no surprise then that the world gravitates toward, wholeheartedly embraces and is enthralled with the christmass of Rome, yet has no interest in the Christ of God. Does that not speak volumes? Christians are not of the world. (John 17:16) |

John, true, far from being miserable at this time of the year as nay-sayers, or wishing to spoil others' joy as some suggest, there is a contentment of faith by approving what is right as a norm.
The abstaining from the frazel and froth of the season is the fulfilment of the command to live soberly.
Christ avoided all improper fuss, propaganda, fame, misguided frazel or recognition. How can some imagine that he would share the throne of all the season's fuss with Santa if on earth, or the sacrilege of the mass at this time?
Why then we imagine he is pleased with all from heaven?
Would the season be stripped of all the regaling of the flesh, how less loud hails and hossanas would resound. B McSo true! What a blessing your comments are to this discussion. I find your posts edifying, intelligent, informative, straight-forward, and most gracious. I believe you have a love for the "truth as it is in Jesus" and that you "speak the truth in love." - Eph. 4:15
This is the very essence of love for your neighbor. June |

ChristMass is nothing more than a Roman Catholic money making scheme . . one of many, including indulgences, purgatory, pilgrimages, Marian shrines . . ungodly shemes through which papal Rome continues to enrich their coffers.
They are unarguably the quintessential marketing experts! Make no mistake about it, ChristMass is a big money-maker for the pope's church . . Article: Ho Ho Holy Discount!

Mr. Tim
Pasting on Scripture doesn't change the facts you wish didn't exist about the topic. It seems you are on denial.
TQC
Please, no Happy Birthday for Jesus, the one who exists from eternity and by whom all things were made.
It might sound a 'nice' little dittie coming from secularised minds trying hard to sanitise a humanistic event, but this almost borders affront.
Surely Christ incarnation is real, but let's not forget that he is the Son of God and in this capacity *he is one* with the Father. By allocating an age to the Son we indirectly tamper with the deity in the trinity. B McCausland . .
Thank you for boldly contending for the faith once delivered unto the saints and affirming the "truth as it is in Jesus".
Your responses were most gracious . . you have spoken the "truth in love." (Eph. 4:15)
Who could have imagined the day that professing Christians would be advancing the cause of Rome by promoting the idolatrous & blasphemous feast day of ChristMass which the early church did NOT observe, and that which the Reformers rightly denounced as an invention of papal Rome.
". . . come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Rev. 17:4 |

1) Christmas remains a monument of the superstition of the Church of Rome. If anyone doubts this proposition, he may turn on a television and watch the Papal Mass on Christmas Eve; the Pope struts around the altar, chants the prescribed words, and holds up the elements so they may be adored by a fawning multitude. This is not a light matter. It is aggravated by a modern softness toward Popery. Instead of looking for an Antichrist of the dispensational model, Protestants had better reawaken to the dangers of the Pope, who is "that Antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the church against Christ, and all that is called God. "[67] All remnants of Papal superstition must be eradicated from the Church, including favorable references to the word Christmas. The term Christmas itself lends credibility to Popery (via the Popish Mass), and God demands that his people purge even their language from the terminology of corrupt worship (see Deut. 12:3; Ex. 23:13).Citation: 1) Christmas:

I was born and raised in the Catholic tradition. But by God's grace, I have been “born again” (John 3:3-7) and am now a Christian. Thus I no longer observe / celebrate “Christmass” because it is decidedly Catholic. How disturbing to discover that countless professing Christians celebrate ChristMass? ? Where is the discernment?Recommended Reading:
1) "Then think about the name Christmas itself. What does it mean? Many people do not even know that it is a combination of Christ and mass.
Christmas is the Roman Catholic celebration of a particular mass in honor of the birth of Christ.
Perhaps it would impress on our minds the real meaning of Christmas if we would refer to it as Christmass.
What is the significance of the mass? At its heart the Roman Catholic mass is a denial of the sufficiency of Christ's atonement. It professes to be a reenactment of the sacrifice of Christ for sin. It is a denial of the gospel (Heb. 9:12, 24-26; 10:10, 12,14).
The Roman Catholic Church has many other masses, such as Michaelmass, but it is their Christmass that Protestants have singled out for observance." Citation: 1) Source: Article: Is Christmas Christian? by Michael Schneider |

Good morning brother, and no, not at all.
What I said was,
"The fact remains that Christmas is not of God's Spirit, it is from an evil spirit, even the devil himself. And I don't know of any easier way to say it."
It is not as though a few of us here are oddball Christians, who lack discernment. Ahem. History shows that godly people in history actually and really, because they had the power to do so, made Christmas illegal by law. Now whether or not that itself was a Christian thing to do is debateable, but the fact remains that theologians from the past studied scripture far more than they do today, and they came to the conclusion that Christmas was not a Christian thing at all, and that it had no biblical precedent.
I am quite willing to stand with these brethren, against the tide of relativism and sloppy theology which is determined to overthrow the Christian testimony in this world. John-UK wrote:
"Brother US, I have continually only been interested in that pagan thing called Christmas (which was derived from Christ-Mass) and which has developed into a grotesque orgy of hedonistic fervour, which threatens to envelop the world . .

“ A heart warming sermon ”
In order for something to be deemed precious to us, it must be ours!
Christ then is precious only to those who are His people; those whom the Father gave to His Son
(John 6:39)
These only can truly appreciate His inestimable value. These only can rightly regard Him as
God's unspeakable gift; (2 Cor. 9:15)
those only who have been given the unsearchable riches of Christ, who is made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption. (Eph. 3:8; 1 Cor. 1:30)
For we who are but poor and needy sinners have not been redeemed with corruptible things like unto gold and silver, but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 1:18-19)
For us Christ bore our sins, our guilt, our shame, our reproach in His own body to His accursed tree.
(1 Peter 2:24)
For us He poured out His soul unto death ( Is. 53:12) that he might deliver our souls from the lowest Hell. (Ps. 86:13)
For us He suffered, bled, and died to pay for our sins. (Is. 53:4-5; Rom. 6:23)
For us He “tasted death”that He might deliver us from the power of the grave.
(Heb. 2:9; 1 Cor. 15:55-57)
For us He made the ultimate sacrifice of laying His life down for His friends.
(John 15:13-15)

“ A heart warming sermon ”
By way of a postscript . .
To us He has given eternal life . . immortality and the glories that await us in Heaven. (John 10:28-29: John 17:2)
What a blessing to be one upon whom God has commended his love and bestowed the exceeding riches of His grace in Christ, who has made us “rich toward God. (Rom. 5:8; Eph. 1:3-7)
When we die we leave our worldly possessions and valuables behind, but those who have Christ are quite willing to do so, that they might be with Him, who is that which is most precious to us . . even that “pearl of great price.” (Matt. 13:46; 1 Thess. 4:16-17)
“ . . . . Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Col. 1:27)
Christ is precious only to those who know Him as I do . . by the grace of God . . as their blessed Saviour and Redeemer God.
How good it is to be able sing with all my heart the sublime words of this hymn . .
Peace like a river is flooding my soul,
Since Christ, my Saviour, maketh me whole;
Sweet peace abiding my portion shall be;
Jesus, my Saviour, is precious to me.
How good it is to know Him as that which is most precious of all . . for He is the “one thing needful”
Thank you Pastor Pickett for once again preaching Christ in all His fullness and exalting our most precious Saviour God. |

“ A most comforting sermon ”
By way of a postscript . . I would add . .
Only those whom the Lord has called out of the world and separated unto Himself that we might be a people for His praise
find their comfort in his Word, and in this I greatly rejoice, and find great comfort as well,
for it is an evident token that I am His and He is mine!
1 Peter 2:8-9:
"This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"
"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort."
- - 2 Cor. 1:3
Thank you Pastor Pickett . . for indeed . .
“The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.”
- - Isaiah 50:4
How wonderfully you answer to this passage of Scripture. What a blessing your ministry is to me.
To God be the glory! |

“ An encouraging word for the Lord's people . . ”
It is true . . “ . . . God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”
This is a promise of God that I have proved by blessed experience in recent troublous times, as well as in the past to be true.
All too often I have spent valuable time fretting about the matter to no avail, but when I sought the Lord's face in prayer, and cast my burden on Him, I knew for myself the peace that passeth all understanding.
( Phil. 4:6; Ps. 55:2)
In times of weakness, trouble and distress when I felt as though there was no way out, when I felt the situtation to be hopeless, when with the psalmist I was overwhelmed in my heart, ( Ps. 61:2 )
when I called upon the Lord, when I cast my burden on Him,
then He graciously came to my aid and delivered me out of my distresses.(Ps. 107)
How often the Lord has allayed my anxieties and silenced my fears with those gracious words “Peace, be still” (Mark 4:39) and I too felt that “great calm” that came over the sea and wind at the command of the Lord.
