[@sagesse743]

Dear pastor Vlad, I have a question and is this: Christ died for our sins and we have accepted him and his work on the cross. Why do we then need to come to him and repent of our sins anytime we sin again even after we are saved ? Or am I the one who understand the bible bad? Or do we just have to let go anytime we sin and no longer repent of the sin because Jesus has died for our past and future sins? Please I need help for that.

[@JESUS.IS.GOD.777]

I am ex athiest. I used to mock christians and say it was all just a fairy tale to help people die in peace. Until i overdosed and stood before Jesus. His face is as bright as the sun. I couldnt see any details of his face but i could see his arms were held out like to hug me and they were a dark tan color, not white or black. Which makes sence remembering he came as a Jew in the middle east desert!! When he held out his arms the light got brighter and i felt so much love and peace and raw power that i cant even find the right words to describe them. Jesus is God in the flesh. God is a trinity. All power the father has Jesus also has. He has existed with the father since before the earths creation. The very last thing i remember was looking down to see a dark pit. Like a black hole it was so dark. I started to fall down into it, the second i felt myself starting to fall i looked back up to see Jesus one last time. All i could see was his hand reaching down waiting for me to grab it. The second i grabbed his hand i woke up back in my room in the spot i just overdosed in except that i was sober when i came back. It is Not possible to hallucinate your way Out of an overdose. Jesus saved me from the Pit and now i am a fisher of men.

I greatly admire Pastor Vlad and have agreed with all his teachings - until today! The celebrations on 25th December are most definitely pagan and dishonour the name of my precious Saviour and Lord. I have heard God clearly on this subject many times. Over and over in the old testament God makes it clear that His people were not to adopt heathen practices. How the enemy delights to have deceived Christians into mocking the Saviour by adopting pagan practices and claiming they're doing it to celebrate the birth of Jesus! I pray that Christians everywhere receive revelation from the Holy Spirit that this is not God's will. Let's live every day giving thanks for Jesus by serving Him with all we have within us, not linking His holy name to one specific date on which He was not born - if God wanted us to know the date He would have told us in His word. If Jesus had wanted His birthday to be celebrated, He would have told us. He only wants us to celebrate His death and resurrection in the way He told us to, ie the Lord's supper.

God told my husband and I to stop celebrating Christmas in 2019. We haven't celebrated for 4 years. Because we made Christmas all about the gifts and food. Nothing about Christ at all. The past 4years we went from religion to a relationship with Christ. This year God told my husband that we are to fill this day with glorifying Him. So we are getting together with extended family and bought our kids a few gifts amd will do a time of worship as a familyin the evening.

[@holyandacceptable]

It is pagan and it is not pleasing to the Most High that we celebrate it! I know many who also understand its roots, but argue that "God knows their heart" and that the intention of the celebration overthrows its demonic roots. Let this be made clear - intention has never diminished the impact of anything. In grace, we look at intention to be loving and compassionate, but not tolerant. In that same way, your intention doesn't mean you aren't still giving into the spirit and roots associated with this celebration. We think we can take things that have nothing to do with Christ and establish them in His name when He never established them Himself. It's ignorant, prideful and we need to stop compromising traditions of God for traditions of man. I know it's hard to fall out of it y'all, but we have to stand under our Savior, not the world. Help us, Father, we don't know nothin!!

[@ThatsMeDoctorD]

That’s why biblical exegesis matters. Jeremiah 10 is about ancient idol worship and is NOT about the modern day practice of Christmas. They talk about “carving” or “chiseling” the wood into idols! Unless you (or I) are worshipping the tree, that is NOT what’s being addressed. The world “could” be celebrating, because the world always presents a counterfeit of everything that glorifies God in any way. You’re right, though, about being led by the Holy Spirit…I would add in all things. 🙏🏾

Please look at the historical roots of Christmas... the description is the opposite of the truth... 😢 look at the historical roots of how people began to celebrate Christmas.. Jesus wasnt even born in december!! Its okay to celebrate his birth, Just not with these traditions, and abandpn holy, mistletoes, wreaths, and tree decorating! Its PAGAN its to celebrate various Gods. They use to get REALLY IMMORAL under the mistle toe.. it was a FERTILITY RITUAL to a FALSE GOD . There is so much in the historical roots of this holiday...its crazy.

[@EmmaBasconcillo-tr4tj]

𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗔𝗡 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗪𝗦? 𝗜 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗔 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗨𝗦! 𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐗-𝐌𝐀𝐒?? We all know that the Christmas Holiday is a perfect moment to spend time with our loved ones, because for many it is the symbol of sharing love to our friends and family, and it is the birth of Jesus Christ..... OR IS IT??! HOW SURE ARE WE?! Are there any verse in the Holy Scripture that states December 25 is the birth date of our Lord? It feels amazing to think that CHRIST is our Most Adorable Savior (MAS), but why are they replacing it with "X"?? making it X-MAS? Well anyway, that's not our point. I just want to warn everyone about using a Tree and Five-Point Star as a symbol of God's special day. We should refrain from using a Five-Point Star, why? because it resembles the Pentagram which is a Satanic symbol. Isn't it weird that the name of that white beard man giving gifts to the children was named "SANTA", it's an anagram to the name "SATAN". This tradition that came from German Pagan tradition has been around for goddamn years and we should not tolerate those things coz its like were practicing a satanic ritual. Okay, let me give you some facts . . . . . . . . 25 December, commonly known as Christmas Day is known around the world as the Birthday of Jesus Christ. Sadly, this is not the case and Bible does not actually mention anywhere about Jesus being born during December. But you've probably already heard this argument many times, before right? Besides, whether he was born in Summer or fall, surely the motive is right and God isn't fussed about specifics. Right? WRONG! Because besides the fact that the origins of Christmas derived from a German pagan tradition, many Christians don't know who's birthday they are actually celebrating on 25 December and just how angry God is when we partake in the celebration of this blasphemous day, 𝙉𝙞𝙢𝙧𝙤𝙙 - 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙊𝙍𝘿 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙢𝙖𝙨 - The 25 December marked the birthday of Nimrod - not Jesus. Tammuz (often confused as Baby Jesus) was born of two pagan gods: (Nimrod - A sun God) and the Moon Goddess of Ancient Babylon (The Queen of Heaven). Mother and Child worship were common pagan practices during this time and so Tammuz and the Queen of Heaven are still worshipped today in many religions under many different names, for example, in Roman Catholicism, the statue of the Virgin Mary is actually not Mary but the the Queen of Heaven, and the so called baby Jesus in a manger is actually Tammuz. In short, the 25 December was a day that commemorated the worship of the sun (satan) as opposed to the true living God of the bible. This rebellion was demonstrated through a vast number of pagan customs which are still carried out today during the festive Christmas period. 𝙋𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙨 - Christmas Trees After Nimrod's death, the Queen of Heaven decided that a fully grown evergreen tree that grew overnight would enable the survival of Nimrod's spirit. Every year on Nimrod's birthday, she believed Nimrod would visit the tree, and so worshipped it by placing gifts underneath it for his return. In Jeremiah 10:3 God mentions his disdain for this ancient practice. Jeremiah 10:3 - For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. 𝙔𝙪𝙡𝙚 𝙇𝙤𝙜𝙨 Similarly to the Christmas Tree, the Yule Log was burned in a fireplace the day before Nimrod's birthday (Christmas Eve) in preparation for Nimrod's return. So the log was also symbolic for Nimrod. So with Nimrod being the founder of Babylon, it's no surprise that satan used him to merge pagan customs with the beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ. Constantine knew that if he could deceive Christians and the world, then idolatry would be a lifestyle. God's first few commandments were against the worship of other gods, yet satan has fooled Christians into doing just that. 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙨/ 𝙎𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙩 𝙉𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙨 Real name Bishop Nicholas of Mrya in the Roman Empire was known as the bishop who was possessed with the spirit of Poseidon which came from the god of the sea, also known as Neptune. As a result he was able to manipulate nature and do many supernatural things. He would secretly dissapear into the night on his white horse and leave gifts in people's homes. But he was linked with the child sacrifices that occured where children would be beaten and burnt alive. This is where the custom comes from where parents are encouraged to put their children on the lap of santas during the Christmas period. BUT SINCE, GOD IS GOOD AND HE IS A GOD OF LOVE, He understands us BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW, that the enemy is using even this belief to trick us. Besides, deep down in our hearts we know that we are doing these stuffs for Him, because of our love for Him and for that reason He blesses our gatherings and celebrations. So stop putting Christmas Tree, Christmas Star. If God is truly in our hearts, EVERYDAY IS A CHRISTMAS DAY.

[@TheSchug]

I know this hasn't premiered yet... But I bet the conclusion is Christmas is not in the Bible but it doesn't matter as long as our heart is in the right spot..yet if anyone celebrates one of the 8 holidays from Leviticus 23 they would be criticized. We should celebrate the holidays given to us by the Lord before we start making up holidays like Christmas.

[@iexist6021]

It does matter. How can our heart be in the right place if we turn a blind eye and make excuses to celebrate Pagan holy days with the rest of the world? That includes Satanists. God hates the traditions of man and this is even worse. This is putting other gods before the Creator. This is an old pagan holy day dating back way before Christ. Jeremiah 10 even specifically calls it out.

Christmas had pagan roots and symbology mixed in with it, however, I celebrate Dec 25 as a day to recognize the birth of Christ, regardless of when the actual day was. I am stealing that day and symbologies back from the camp of satan and using them to instead to glorify the King of kings. All has come from Jesus anyway.

He totally ignored the definition of WORSHIP, v. 1. To perform acts of adoration. People definitely worship there trees putting gifts around it and gathering around it, adoring the Christmas tree. Jeremiah 10:3-4 KJV - For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

[@StashaR-ip6di]

Thanks for bringing this up. Whenever I bring this up to people and the research I’ve done in getting to the roots of Christmas, which is actually Saturnalia…they either call me extreme, try to justify celebrating it, and refuse to acknowledge the history behind it all. And it makes me think that people don’t take the Word seriously anymore, or they don’t think it’s imperative to read it front to back at least once in their life. Pray they truly let God fashion their lives the way He wants it, in every aspect of life. I can’t pretend that Jeremiah 10 is not there or doesn’t exist. The book of Jeremiah as a whole distinguishes between true and false worship, true and false prophecy. Such a good read.

[@Paul_CarolGautschi]

These convictions cannot be blown off. For many this is a move of Holy Spirit. In many ways celebrating Christmas is old wine skins. God wants us to be changing from glory to glory. As He brings revelation, we are to respond to it. the people that are going against the Catholic mass of Christmas are getting revelation from Holy Spirit. No one is to follow Vlad or anyone over Holy Spirit. Please don’t take the conviction lightly if you are hearing not to celebrate Christmas, Easter over Passover, etc. Especially if you’re hearing that Leviticus 23 is what we need to be celebrating which are the God appointed feasts. God asked us to commemorate Him with these. They all point to Jesus. I know the arguments about Jesus fulfilling the law and this has nothing to do with it. I’m praying that Vlad and his wife will see that this isn’t just something that should be blown off. And that they are following traditions of men, which is what we’re warned not to do.

The Holy Spirit through Apostle Paul changed observation of days or Sabbath in both Romans 14:5-6 and Colossians 2: 16-17. The laws of Sabbath is too tight for the Gentiles to follow

[@ThatsMeDoctorD]

We ARE, as believers, the “church”. Why do we speak of going TO church? Saturday is clearly the Sabbath (God chose it for the people having rested on the 7th day). The Sabbath is meant to be a day of “rest”, but not just resting as the world proclaims but resting IN HIM (through worship). Do we not know that every act in life should be done as an act of worship to God? That doesn’t just happen in church “buildings” or on Saturday OR Sunday. God needed to have the children of Israel rest, seeing as though they’d been in slavery so long and knew NOT what rest was. They didn’t know HOW to rest, and the Lord gifted them rest after delivering them from those who enslaved them. Additionally, EVEN when the Pharisees called Jesus out for breaking Sabbath “rules”, He clarified that He made the Sabbath FOR MAN and NOT man for it! That said, EVERY DAY should be a “sabbath” (day of rest) in the Lord. We set a day (or days) aside to REST (in the Lord) and be set aside for God’s glory. It’s about consecrating ourselves to God through resting (worshiping) Him. He told us to remember the Sabbath day and to keep it HOLY (sacred, consecrated TO GOD).🙏🏾

My question to ALL of these pastors who talk about what's NOT in the bible, when are we going to start celebrating what IS in it?🤔 HOLY days rather than Holi-days. God called me out of celebrating pagan holidays over 10 years ago and STARTED me into celebrating the days HE deemed Holy. Let's get back to THAT! In Jesus' name!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@americarodriguez4383]

Amen

[@Matthew_85k]

How's it pagan? Genuine question

[@m.h6858]

@Matthew_85k A quick Google search and researching the history of it will bring clarity. It did for me after God told me not to celebrate it anymore, and I LOVED Christmas! 😩 I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and wasn't allowed to celebrate it, but the MINUTE I became a legal adult, it was the FIRST thing I started doing, lol! Then God told me over a decade later to stop. Later, He called me away from ALL holidays, excluding Thanksgiving. Then He slowly started implementing HOLY days for me to start celebrating. Now, I don't even remember the holidays unless I see the decorations in stores. I understand different pastors standpoint and the reason they try to make it ok. It's a "feel good" time almost euphoric. Everyone is happy and smiling for that one or two days. Pure bliss. Then, just like that, it's over, and everyone is back to whoever they were. When celebrating the Lord's HOLY days, it reminds you of our ancestors and how they fought and endured MUCH, and it brings solace for our purpose and what REALLY matters. The Holy days serve as REMEMBRANCE of those things. Holidays do NOTHING but serve as temporary bandaid, which in itself should tell us that it's not of God. The devil is about temporary fixes. What is of the Lord is FOREVER! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@americarodriguez4383]

@Matthew_85k I encourage you to read the word of God, pray so that the Holy Spirit reveals to you truth and understanding. Ask God in you prayer to show you the things that offend him on how we worship, remember him and honor him. I encourage you to read Exodus 32:5-7, Jeremiah 10, Romans 1, John 17, Deuteronomy 12:28-32, Isaiah 44 and Matthew 15.

Great points, Vlad

[@leonardblignaut665]

Deuteronomy 16:21-22 in the Bible says, "You shall not plant for yourself any tree, as a wooden image, near the altar which you build for yourself to the LORD your God". The verse also says, "You shall not set up a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates" Jeremiah 10:2-5 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

[@MargaLilaandPets]

People are now well aware Christmas isn't Jesus birthday. We all have been educated where it came from. But I think don't oppose celebrating it because it's the time when the gospel is spread and good deeds are done in the name of Jesus. There's nothing wrong with that especially if you consider the Devil takes every opportunity throughout the year to celebrate his own inanities and insanities.

[@kevinwilson6270]

Thank you for telling the truth

[@normaescamilla7531]

I truly believe that giving gifts to each other and celebrating Christmas and for that reason God will be mad at us. I don't think so he is love and wants us to be joyful and happy and to give praises to him united as one .glory to God.

[@testifires]

So powerful! the blood clears my record!

[@MGMG007]

Family, you will not go to Hell if you celebrate Christmas. Go spend time with your family, go create memories with those around you. Was Jesus born the 25th? No, Is Christmas an idol? No. (If Christmas is an Idol for you or is a conviction for you, then you SHOULD stop celebrating it for your own good) Stop being grumpy, stop trying to find things to argue about, don't complicate non salvation issues. God Bless and Merry Christmas ❤ I'm mexican so we celebrate Christmas on Christmas eve so don't hate on me😉

[@WednesdayChicken]

Well said brother

[@MartaPBL]

It’s sad that the church is so contaminated … of course all opportunity is good to evangelise but in truth. How can this holiday build on pagan traditions and lies glorify God? the world loves it with its overconsumption and false joy… but why church cannot get ride if it? 😢

[@ImpaledDeceivers]

Birthdays as well.

[@nd2350]

Cutting the tree and worshiping it still happens in India. Its paganism. We dont worship Christmas tree. As an Easterner we see Bible entirely differently. I totally agree with this pastor.

If you have to do all this to justify a holiday that the bible never mentions we should probably just leave it alone. I will be fine if I don’t have Christmas.

[@user-xr4xq7zl9m]

Folks in the comments need to ask God if they can celebrate it Because when i do He said i can celebrate it So pray

[@barnas26]

Merry Christmas

[@valeriedorsey7527]

Question: Just curious. To those who are commenting about the fact that you don't celebrate Christmas, do you celebrate Hanukkah, or any other holy days defined in the Bible?

[@Paul_CarolGautschi]

Do what Jesus did.

[@rschse]

Yes! I've been lighting Hanukkah candles and saying the prayers for almost 20 years. I stopped celebrating Saturnalia (xmas) in 2016. The only reason I did not before that was because of my family, sadly. In 2010, the first night of Hanukkah, after I lit the first candle, the top tier of our xmas tree lights went out. We had an artificial tree, prelit, with 4 sections. The second night after lighting the Hanukkah candle, the 2nd tier went out. The third night of Hanukkah, 3rd tier of lights went out. The fourth night, the last section of lights went out on our idoltry symbol, xmas tree. I knew what was happening the first night, my kids knew after about the third night. I always disliked xmas. My father kept the Sabbath and always refused to celebrate xmas.

[@the.mr.nobody]

There are 7 holodays, I believe, God says are not optional. They are "Olam"...forever. Hanukkah is not required but appears to have been celebrated by jesus. Do these and you'll be just fine.

[@nathaliemokelky]

My family celebrates the biblical feasts, and the ones that weren't appointed by God, but are mentioned in the Bible. (Yeshua (Jesus) celebrated the feast of dedication (new testament), which is Hannukah. It is a celebration of restoring all glory to God in the temple after destroying pagan idolatry, symbolism, etc. (Book of Maccabees.) It's interesting how we celebrate that this time of year! We don't judge others for choosing to celebrate Christmas (Romans 14). We just do what we're led to by the Holy Spirit, and have been very blessed by our obedience. We also choose not to celebrate birthdays. But we put extra emphasis on praising the Lord and making Him the centre of everything. His glory and miracles come into our midst while celebrating Passover, Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, etc. We're continuing to learn how to honour Him in celebrating these feasts as new covenant believers, honoring our Savior ❤

[@malachi9898]

Yes we do, because the Bible says to unlike Christmas.

[@TheSchug]

So many things wrong in this sermon. 6:05 if your so insistent on celebrate Jesus birthday why not pick a different day that doesnt have a long history of pagan worship. 7:18 Christmas traditions are definitely mention in the Bible. Jeremiah 10:3-4 KJV - For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. Why not try celebrate at least 1 of the 8 holidays mentioned in Leviticus 23... because Christianity loves pagan worship.

Brushing teeth and driving a car are not religious activities. Cannot be compared to celebrating christmas

[@apakabar9022]

Do you put the Christmas tree in your house and your church❤❤❤

[@SaineySanyang-k5f]

Jeremiah 10, heathens celebration. To know the birth date of our lord Jesus check in Luke ...

[@Paul.A.N]

There's a lot of debate currently here and most if not all is wrong. Don't assume I know it all but my heart speaks as God makes known to us at times. Firstly the Bible does not mention any particular dates to any events. No specific date and times and this is because God does not feel dates are important but rather we woship, honour and remember Him every single day, not a special day of the year. Secondly, some assume sabbath and Sunday church are wrong. Again this is just dates but one must remember to worship each and every day. Keeping a prayer at heart in all our daily living. Worship is not for one day a week or debate what day, its for every day. Finally, some mention Christmas link to Nimrod. I find no particular date once again yet the pagan idea stems from the biblical passage of Jeremiah. If you celebrate it with intent to worship as a pagan during biblical days then yes its wrong. However, the entire Christmas idea is a man made idea and really relates to absolutely nothing but offers one small positive in which people, family and friends get together to express love, giving, joy and a moment where this is the kind of love the world should live by each day and shouldn't require Christmas to make this happen. Giving of gifts, family gathering is all great but the actual christmas tree and the santa story is pure fictional, created and plays no part in the real meaning of Christmas and this is the reason a debate is created. I am not for it nor against it. This comes down to individual opinions. Put God first so that what you do, you do it for Him.

[@rschse]

The dates for Shabbat and the Feasts of the Lord are very specific!

[@Paul.A.N]

Bible study is a wonderful thing, but I don't think links can be placed here. You may find a few studies online, but one in particular really dives deep into each passage and it's meanings. It definitely helps especially with simple verses that can be misunderstood

[@_andyyy.y]

Though it wasn't given command in bible but we see that his people in thanksgiving in the book of esther celebrated new feast in God, called purim just like that in thanksgiving we are celebrating jesus birth as Christmas it helps us in growing unity in church ... sharing joy has been great delight yesterday ... and we are holding gospel as many as possible since people are open because of Christmas .. and by carol singing we are trying to tell people why God came down to earth ...

[@tiaraspence4728]

Yikes. I wasn’t expecting that. 😢🥺

[@normaescamilla7531]

Happy holidays to everyone

[@abideinchrist1673]

So good! Watch Saving Christmas by Kirk Cameron! It's awesome..

[@prisciladiniz6141]

And what about the Feast of the Lord that is commanded by G-d as a perpetual status? Not in agreement to celebrate a not biblical holiday and forget about the ones G-d told us to celebrate. For the Jew and for the gentile , we are all one in Messiah. Much more important learning about it, all the feasts is correlating with the first come of Messiah, his life, his resurrection and his second coming.

[@ronellgerber777]

Follow your heart. When GOD saves you and baptises you with HIS HOLY SPIRIT, HE lays HIS LAW ON YOUR MIND AND IN YOUR ♥️. Why should you not follow your ♥️?

Confess that Yeshua died on a cross as a sacrificial lamb and through his blood and righteousness you can be saved, confess your sins, after that find a way to be baptized. Yeshua saves.
