Christmas is the most celebrated religious holiday in the world, yet nowhere in the Bible does YeHoVaH command, authorize, or model the celebration of the Messiah's birth as a holy day. Most Christmas customs do not come from the Bible. Many of the modern customs and practices of Christmas, some of which can be traced all the way back to Nimrod, come from ancient pagan festivals - Roman, Germanic, and Celtic, primarily from the 3rd–7th centuries when the Roman church absorbed and rebranded pagan practices to attract converts. Although Christmas is not in the Bible, how did it become one of the holiest and most celebrated day in Christianity worldwide? This teaching will expose the truth about Christmas.
Other Teachings: The God of Israel, The Sons of God, The Name of God
Is Christmas a Biblical Holy Day commanded by God? No. The Bible does not command, authorize, or model the celebration of Messiah’s birth as a holy day. This teaching reveals how Christmas developed through Roman and pagan influences and explains how traditions replaced Biblical instruction, helping Believers understand the truth behind one of Christianity’s most celebrated holidays.
