Are You Unknowingly Practicing Paganism This Christmas?

[@GospelNerd]

This message (like my channel) is primarily intended to strengthen believers who already affirm biblical Christianity - salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, as revealed in Scripture alone, for God's glory alone. While I rejoice when others come to embrace biblical truth through these teachings, this comment section isn't meant for debating core doctrines. Those promoting alternative religious views or seeking to defend unbiblical traditions should look elsewhere.

Thank you God for the my local parish and its magnificent Christ centered midnight mass.

@@sergesavard636 Thank you for this comment that perfectly illustrates Sin #3 from the video - presuming and defending an unbiblical tradition while disregarding others' biblical concerns. The Catholic mass represents a false gospel that denies the sufficiency of Christ's once-for-all sacrifice (Hebrews 10:10). As you probably know, I cannot and will not affirm practices that contradict the true gospel of salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

There was a phrase I learned in school “the letter of the law vs the spirit of the law”. You beautifully displayed the spirit of the law. Not trying to justify desires of the flesh through the letters of the law

@@fiddyfresh7350 Thank you. Amen. Praise God we can walk by the Spirit and no longer by the dead letter.

Jeremiah 10 ....“Learn not the way of the nations, nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens because the nations are dismayed at them, 3for the customs of the peoples are vanity.a A tree from the forest is cut down and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman. 4They decorate it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so that it cannot move....

@@eternaltruthrev18 Thank you brother - appreciate you seeing the parallel principle here. While critics often dismiss any connection with this Jeremiah passage because it specifically describes idol-making rather than holiday trees, they miss that its deeper warning about adopting worldly customs absolutely applies. Our celebrations today might not involve carved idols, but they can still become their own form of idolatry in our hearts - which is exactly what my video addresses.

@ man I just want to be more biblical; Holy Spirit show us, lead us, sanctify us in Thy Truth, Your Word is Truth. Thanks brother for all your efforts and wisdom; appreciate it.
