[@Feathersandfloof]

This is my first year not celebrating. I knew people wouldn't understand, but I was not expecting that flat out hate, accusations and assumptions that would be flung at me for making this decision for my family. I have not taught on the real history or even told anyone my reasoning unless they has asked specifically, but people suddenly think I'm hating on them simply by not participating. It's mind boggling. I pray for them to be delivered from their deception. I loved Christmas and I thought it would be incredibly hard to let go of, but God has given me such grace that it hasn't been too difficult.

It's my parents and i's first year not celebrating Christmas/Thanksgiving/Easter/Halloween. It definitely is crazy how the majority of the rest of the world thinks that I am now crazy for not celebrating. I know in my heart that it is the right thing to not celebrate, and I definitely won't ever give in to society's standards to celebrate ever again after learning the truth of it all. The thing that I find to be funny that I worry about the most is that now, with my new beliefs, it will be harder to date when in reality I have to remind myself that God will guide me to the right man that will love and accept me for who I am and what my beliefs are.

[@PastorWagner]

Hannah - Christmas, Easter, and Halloween are pagan and should not be celebrated by Christians. Thanksgiving is not pagan and is permissible to celebrate. In fact, I recommend celebrating it, as it is good to take time to give thanks to God for all He has blessed us with.

​@PastorWagner it may not be pagan per se but why would you celebrate a massacre of people. The people showed them kindness and they killed them and took their land.

[@alysdomalanta4163]

I remember during Easter service on Sunday, it was two years ago For what I remember when my church congregation had an eater egg hunt for all the children and everyone and they were offering food to all the church members as a symbol of sacrifice. So don’t know if that’s also part of God’s sacrifice and is part of Christian tradition where churches do Easter egg

[@markkean4506]

It is not. Sorry, but the whole 'Easter' routine is pagan, also. It's the same nonsense as christmas., where people pretend that it's a celebration of Jesus' death on the cross to redeem us of our sins. Actually it's a pagan holiday for Diana or Aphrodite or one of those false gods. Think about it: what does the 'easter bunny' or 'easter eggs' have to do with the Lord Jesus? It's some kind of honor for fertility; I don't remember the details, exactly, but you should have no trouble finding out. God bless.@@alysdomalanta4163

After God convicted me over the past year or so, this was the first year I've given up Christmas. I thought it would be difficult. I thought it'd make me sad. Actually, when I was at Walmart several days ago, I didn't once think, "What should I buy to stick in that stocking?" Not once did I think, "what else can I buy for my spouse or my kid?" There was no stress, no pressure, and now there are absolutely no post-gift-opening blues (which I almost always have, not because of gifts but because the whole thing is over). We didn't spend any money that we shouldn't have. I feel kind of ...free!

Amen. There is great freedom from being freed from the bondage of Christmas.

[@Scout-bt3mo]

@@PastorWagner I'm curious if you have a sermon about the feast days and why we don't need to observe those. Is it because Christ fulfilled them or because they were given exclusively to the Jews? If it is the latter, why would they apply only to Israel and not Spiritual Israel?

[@PastorWagner]

@Scout 1000 - The feast days were part of the law of Moses, which was only ever given to Israel, which Christ fulfilled and then abolished. Christians are under the New Testament, and our worship is to be regulated by it alone. I did a sermon series called “The Christian and the Old Testament” which addresses this topic in detail. You can listen to it and get the outline here: pastorwagner.com/old-testament/.

@Scarlett Bella Ask God to show your husband as well. Also give him this analogy. "Imagine if I, your wife, came to you and said let's celebrate your birthday." But you chose a date of your ex-boyfriend's birthday. Then you said, "Let's eat at your favorite restaurant." But you chose Italian (your ex's favorite food) when your husband's favorite food is Mexican. Then you decorated the house with green and brown (the favorite colors of your ex), but your husband likes blue and red. Then as a gift you gave him a guitar (which your ex loves and plays quite well), but your husband doesn't really have an interest in music; he loves sports and the outdoors. That is what Christmas is like. Christmas is giving God what we WANT Him to have because our mind is on something else rather than giving Him what HE wants.

[@travisandmissydog]

This message is now a decade old, yet the Truth still stands. Thank you for explaining it this way. This is used to point people to the Truth. So many people are lost in "I will worship Christ how *I* want to." So many things done with a hardened heart these days. Look at church music in general. The songs are geared to making *US* feel good instead of singing hymns and praises how He wants us to. The Lord has instilled this Spirit in me that refuses to just blindly follow. I am not a participant in "do what I do", "say what I say", "celebrate what I celebrate" without first confronting the scriptures for the Truth. It's a "letting go" thing because I used to celebrate all the pagan holidays disguised as Christian. Not trying to be legalistic, just trying to do the right thing and learn how He wants us to live and how to serve Him. All praise and glory to Jesus Christ for continuing to bring me out of spiritual Babylon.

Christianity is NOT limited to the Bible.The earliest celebration of Christmas was in 336 A.D. and was added to the Christian calendar in 350 A.D. decades before the Bible was officially created in 382 A.D.

[@virgie4715]

This is my response to saying Christmas is just about consumerism: Oh it’s much more than that! There’s a reason Christmas starts in July. It’s because Christmas is during winter solstice celebrations (aka rituals) by pagans and occultists. I was a witch/occultist for many, *many* years so I kinda know what I’m talking about here. I may not know much, but *this* I can assure you on and ive been telling everyone I know or see discussing this to warn them! All the energy put into shopping, exchanging gifts, cooking, hosting parties or dinners, going to look at Christmas lights, caroling, every. single. bit. of that energy is being absorbed by other powers and people. Powerful occultists can highjack and manipulate that energy, especially because many, even Christians, don’t protect theirselves from these things. They give themselves away freely having no clue where these critical parts of them are actually going. Just imagine that your energy, pieces of you, is going into Satan’s work. They use that energy in their rituals. I guess it’s not as obvious to people who haven’t highjacked and manipulated energy,l themselves, because most Christians and people don’t even understand “energy” that way, let alone know how to use it for anything. I was involved in the occult for years, along with my family. I finally found a man who believed in God and wanted to be a follower of Christ. He prayed for me and his prayers were answered quickly this time. I got to where I couldn’t go on any longer. I was plagued by demons and curses and so many evil things I’d allowed into my life, my soul, and just me in general that I was ready to take my life. ANYTHING seemed better than what I was feeling and what I was going through. I couldn’t even eat. I’m a very thin person so if I loose just 5 pounds you can tell... I had lost 30 pounds during this time and was probably going to become really sick or die soon like for real, because I was literally starving but couldn’t eat. The only way I can explain it is possession and I didn’t even believe in possession, per say. Christ came to me though and took all that away and picked me back up, dusted me off and set me in the way of the right path. If it wasn’t for that night, I would still be taking part in all the awful things I’ve done or I wouldn’t even be here anymore. There was drugs and so much more but I won’t get into that considering I’ve already made this super long not meaning too. I’m not perfect by any means or that I know everything and believe me when I say I have a looooooong way to go! But at least I know what I do know now. I know where to turn when things are bad, who to thank when they’re good, and who will always forgive and love me. So, Christmas is more than consumerism. Consumerism is only the tip of the iceberg, that’s why that’s a mainstream narrative. You’ll more than likely never hear the real truth other than from those who have actually done it. God bless x Also, magick/magic wands were literally made from holly wood! (Hollywood... hmm)

[@willkeasling1526]

I was never into witchcraft or anything and always have either believed or wanted to believe in jesus but have been attacked and led astray for many years and but never felt really saved until about 7 months ago and I most definitely feels change and alot of conviction but am getting attacked way more now and I feel the Lord has really opened my eyes but I still can't seem to shake getting upset and angry with my teenage stepson and his mother for enabling him to keep walking all over me and all he gets into is demonic music and pictures and masterbation and doesn't listen to her or I and is just disrespectful and in return I get very upset and say things I don't and wouldn't say in a right frame of mind and feel like the Lord isn't with me like I thought or like I feel he should be of I was genuinely saved. I do see all kinds of his evidence and pretty sure I hear his voice talking to me and responding all the time but then get that voice saying it's not the Lord and just my conscience and that by me letting others get to me and not showing the love like I feel I should then it's just my conscience cause If I was right about being saved I shouldn't have this many attacks and problems cause the bible says do not lead me into temptation but deliver me from evil and I feel like I'm in a more evil environment now than before. I just want to know without a doubt I am being saved and loved by him and not daily having to wonder cause to me that's a sick roller coaster game and l feel like if I was where I thought or think I am then why am I having so much pain in my life now.

[@willkeasling1526]

And if I'm actually on the right track and all my family and people in church's I know r falling for Christmas and halloween and judgy judgy that r Christian's then r they not actually saved and if that's the case that hurts my heart cause I don't wish hell on even my worst of worst enemies and have compassion for so many and get confused on Gods forgiveness and love and mercy cause a I don't go off what people say but what they do so I go off of actions and showing me the right way( not the "do as I say not as I do" way) but the do as I do way and and not forgiving is a sin and for the Lord to not forgive for that is saying do as I say but not as I do. Just like all the lost ones not wanting to believe which is another sin and do we forgive them cause remember we can't be forgiven if we don't forgive so is it another do as I say not as I do situation? Following Jesus shouldn't be this hard to understand. I'm by far not giving up and trying my hardest to do right by Jesus and have fruits to show but I can't help but worry almost daily cause I do something wrong that I'm not saved cause if I was the Lord wouldn't be letting the devil attack me soooooooooooo much and then other Christian's tell me that I must be doing stuff to let satan in and I pray and pray and pray for Jesus to help me understand or help me stop doing whatever I'm doing but it always feels like it's mostly me putting in the work with little to no help and I really don't like feeling like this and I'm scared and wondering if I'm just in a place with people that satan can use to constantly attack me and try to make me doubt what I want to believe and so believe mostly but all it takes is for that one argument to make me question the Lord and myself. I need help from him to save me from myself and pray daily about it but keep having these issues. There's alot he has showed me about this earth and the spirits and the skies and the media and government but won't show me and help me understand what to do with that info and especially how to explain it to the ones I love. Sorry bout the long messages but I sounded like u might understand maybe a little of where I'm coming from. I was abused sexually as kid and led a life of heavy metal music and drugs and adultery and have left all that behind but even though my life is a little better I still have feelings I wish would go away that r still lingering in my mind.

Sam (if that is your name, I apologize if it is not), the Passover is a "Holiday" that the Jewish people celebrate. There are many other holidays that the jewish people also celebrate (example: Shabbat, Yom Kippur) So, it sounds as if you believe it is ok to celebrate if the Scriptures specifically say it is ok to celebrate a specific event, person etc., however if the Bible does not specifically tell us we should celebrate, then we shouldn't. I assume that you may think it would be a sin to celebrate when not specified by Scripture ? Perhaps you could give me your specific principle(s) regarding Scripturally legitimate celebration. I think we may agree to a point, but have some disagreement about the issue, probably from a hermeneutical perspective. Be Well, DZ

It is heartbreaking to see "Christians" going along with a mass for Christ. Wake up, people! Put the RCC where it belongs... Come out of her my people, so that you are not partakers in her sins. Rev 18:4.

[@bibleman8010]

Quite often, fundamentalist flamers show up to unload a barrage. These people never respond to questions or objections, but only wish to hear themselves talk. It's much easier to make generalized, unsubstantiated claims than it is to actually track down the facts. Especially when the "facts" you claim are proven to be non-existent. 'Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.' John 7:24" "A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion." (Proverbs 18:2) Proverbs 10:18 The one who conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever utters slander is a fool. In other words, you are simply reading propaganda. Not that you seem to have a particular bias (sarcasm). I am in awe of your arrogance. You sit in judgment, falsely slandering others, always excusing yourself in your self-righteousness. Hate to break it to all my extra holy protestant brethren, but "The mother of harlots" (not the whore) of rev 17 is the city of Jerusalem. Her 2 daughters are Israel and Judah, who played the harlot in their fathers house, her sisters are Sodom, Babylon and Egypt. Try reading the bible. When the Whore falls we read, "'Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you'. . . . In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth" (Rev 18:20 and 24). So, the Whore could not be the Catholic Church because 1) it did not exist to kill the old testament prophets and 2) No blood is on the Churches hand with respect to any Apostle. Prophets existed as a group only in the Old Testament and in the first century (Acts 11:27-28, 13:1, 15:32, 21:10). Since the Whore persecuted apostles and prophets, the Whore must have existed in the first century and BEFORE. WHO KILLED THE PROPHETS Indeed, Jesus himself could not be any clearer in Matthew 23:37: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! Rev 17:5 "Babylon the great, mother of whores and of earth’s abominations.” 6 And I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the witnesses to Jesus...." Rev 17:18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.” Rev 18:10 "Alas, alas, the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.” Rev 18:20 "Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints and apostles and prophets! For God has given judgment for you against her.' SO WHO IS BABYLON - THE GREAT CITY MOTHER OF WHORES ANSWER REV 1:8 The GREAT CITY "where also their lord was crucified - JERUSALEM NOT ROME Passages of Revelation pertaining to the whore or the harlot makes sense when it is referring to ancient PAGAN Rome but makes no sense when Fundamentalists try to associate it with modern Rome. The passage says that the Whore will have power over kings. Modern Rome has no power over modern "kings", in fact there are almost no kings left in the world. Nor does the Church (which rests on Vatican hill outside of the 7 hills of Rome) have power over political leaders, otherwise ABORTION, PORNOGRAPHY, and HOMOSEXUALITY with HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE would not be legal in the civilized world. Revelation says that the whore was the center of commerce. (Rev 18:17-19) No economist today will say that modern Rome or the church is a leader in commerce. The US, Japan, etc are. However, ancient Pagan Rome was a leader in commerce. The Vatican is on Vatican hill and outside the 7 hills of Rome that that city is built on. And it MUST be noted the bibles including the KJV translate it not as hill but as mountain. Revelation 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. Jerusalem is built on 7 mounts. One source, jesus-messiah.com/prophecy/rev-13.html, lists the seven, and explains a bit more of why some authors list different mountains, and includes a map: 1.) Mount Gared; 2.) Mount Goath; 3.) Mount Acra; 4.) Mount Bezetha; 5.) Mount Moriah; 6.) Mount Ophel; 7.) Mount Zion. The seven mountains upon which Jerusalem was built are (according to wikipedia): Scopus, Nob, Olivet, "Mount of Corruption" or "Mount of Offence", "Mount Zion", the "Ophel Mount" and the new "Mount Zion." Or perhaps interpretations are far more complex than the followers of Jack Chick might expect, Who knows? Perhaps the 7 mountains refer to the 7 continents. Perhaps the harlot is in fact apostate Christianity of a protestant variety. It may not hurt to look at all the possibility bu NO ONE should go about insisting that there interpretation against another faith is correct. It is too convoluted with too many possibilities. And no one should contradict scripture in their assertions.😎😎

Yahshua (Jesus) was not born on December 25. You celebrate Easter? Easter is another name for Ashteroth. They died eggs using the blood of a three month old infant. The sacrifice took place at the Sunrise service. Look! I could go through a list of lies taught by the church. How ever I have a life to live. Let me leave you with this. Proverbs 28:9 He that turnith away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be an abomination.

[@helennorman2839]

I am happy to hear you say that we are under grace and that you keep the law because you want to. You are right that Jesus Christ fulfilled the law so why would we as Christians try to fulfill the old testament laws in the flesh when He already did it. We are to walk in His righteousness not our own. As Christians we do not want to lie, cheat and steal etc because we want to do what is right and please our Father as the Holy Spirit is in us teaching us how to live. But the danger in going back to the Old testament feasts etc is that we are going back to shadows of Christ instead of going forward in the Spirit. Did Abraham Isaac or Jacob keep the feasts or follow all the dietary laws? No, because they had not yet been given by Moses. They were justified by their faith in God and obedience to His will. Galatians 3:17King James Version (KJV) And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. Galations: 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Galations 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. 5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. I would recommend that you study the book of Galations and don't get caught up again in dead works. The two most important commandments are to Love the Lord your God with all your heart mind and soul and to love your neighbor as yourself. if you follow these as Christ commanded you will be fulfilling the law as the spirit intended. The pharisees judged Christ because he did not "keep their sabbath" and Christ rebuked them for not understanding what the sabbath law was supposed to teach them. Once the day of salvation came we were to rest from our works in the flesh. Beware of the leaven of the pharisees. Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. God bless.

PRAISE the LORD, FINALLY a TRUE MAN OF GOD speaking TRUTH!!!!!!!! I have preached on this for DECADES and been mocked and scoffed at by PROFESSING CHRISTIANS, but remember, JESUS said in the LAST DAYS many FALSE CHRISTIANS would arise. Jesus said in JOHN 8, SATAN IS THE father of ALL LIES. SO HOW can a TRUE DISCIPLE OF JESUS worship and Praise God IN SATAN's lies?? Christ-Mass is a heathen PAGAN foundation that was around HUNDREDS OF YEARS BEFORE JESUS even walked this earth. HEATHEN BABYLONIAN CULT religions did what they and the SATAN's church, the Church of Rome BROUGHT ALL THIS in under Jesus. PRAISE GOD saints, STAND ON TRUTH and rejoice when OTHERS persecute you.

@@samuelememanka8975- Hi, I don't think it's against God to use an English translation for the name of Jesus Christ. (even though some believe it is wrong.) His holy name in English translation carries the same weight in the spiritual realm as the Hebrew. Otherwise, we'd have to learn to read Hebrew to read the Bible. *:)* Don't let people put that burden on you, God is very good to all the people of the world who love Him and follow His Son.

Jeremiah 10:2-5 tells us NOT to cut down trees and worship them as the pagans did. All through scriptures we are told and warned not to go into the nations and take on their ways, their pagan gods, other mighty ones. For there is only One, Creator of all, Sovereign over all. He has His set apart (Holy= Set Apart is what Holy means) We are given His feast days to celebrate, Sukkot, Passover and Shavuot (Pentecost) What wonderful times with fellow brothers and sisters in honoring our Father!!

[@LivingforJesusMotherof2]

Does God change ? No , he is the same yesterday today and tomorrow. God says he is a jealous God . The old testament points us to Jesus , Jesus was able to prove who he was using the old testaments , Corinthians 10:7 They worshiped idols, just as the Scriptures say, “The people sat down to eat and drink. Then they got up to dance around.” So don’t worship idols. And in the old testament God tell us what he considers Idols and idolatry. Proverb 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Just do a little research and you will see.

[@LivingforJesusMotherof2]

***** No I gave New testament verses too just because you think since we are under grace we can go crazy and wallow in sin oh no my friend God is not mocked . We are under grace yes and anyone can find grace and mercy if they seek God through our Lord and savior Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross. There is a reason why HE will tell some I never knew you Matthew 7:21 - 23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ The difference in punishment between old and new testament is old testament punishment happened immediately new testament punishment happens after death when you are judged and go either to heaven or hell . In new testament we are given the chance to confess our sins to God and have them washed away in the blood of Jesus .

[@bonniegithens2717]

All scriptures are valid today and has nothing to do with just the Jewish community. As Paul wrote in 2Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed by Elohim and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for setting straight, for instruction in righteousness, 17that the man of Elohim might be fitted, equipped for every good work. As we know the "New Testament" did not exist back then, so we must realize that "All scriptures is referring the Torah, as christians refer to it as the old testament. Yeshuah (Jesus) did not come to do away with the law but came to live it He is our example of how it is to be walked out. Yes I do pursue walking out the commands and laws of my Father, for it brings blessings to honor my Father. We are also reminded time and time again NOT to go into the nations and do as they do. Meaning we are not to take up their ways, or to COMBINE their idol worship with the true worship of our Creator. James reminds us over and over again that our faith is shown by our works. Faith/Belief without works is dead Matthew 5:17-18 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets.a I did not come to destroy but to complete. 18“For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done Yeshua is our living walking talking Torah for He is the way, the Truth and the Light Which is the same description of the Torah. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and pitched His tena among us, and we saw His esteem, esteem as of an only brought-forth of a father, complete in favour and truth. The book of John in the first chapter is a perfect description of our Savior being the Word and the Word becoming flesh. So, I do not celebrate Christmas nor do I celebrate Easter (Ishtar) I do, however, celebrate His times His feast days that are commanded of His people. Let us not forget there are 12 tribes of Yisrael. We always think that there are only Jews, they are from the tribe of Judah. Due to the mixing of paganism with true worship of the One true Elohim the Northern Kingdom was destroyed and scattered about the 4 corners of the world. But we are told in latter days, He will gather all His children Ezekiel 36:7“Son of man, when the house of Yisra’ĕl dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds. To Me their way was like the uncleanness of a woman in her monthly period. 18“So I poured out My wrath on them for the blood they had shed on the land, and for their idols they defiled it. 19“And I scattered them among the gentiles, and they were dispersed throughout the lands. I have judged them according to their ways and their deeds. 20“And when they came to the gentiles, wherever they went, they profaned My set-apart Name for it was said of them, ‘These are the people of יהוה, and yet they have gone out of His land.’ 21“But I had compassion on My set-apart Name, which the house of Yisra’ĕl had profaned among the gentiles wherever they went. 22“Therefore say to the house of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “I do not do this for your sake, O house of Yisra’ĕl, but for My set-apart Name’s sake, which you have profaned among the gentiles wherever you went. 23“And I shall set apart My great Name, which has been profaned among the gentiles, which you have profaned in their midst. And the gentiles shall know that I am יהוה,” declares the Master יהוה, “when I am set-apart in you before their eyes. 24“And I shall take you from among the gentiles, and I shall gather you out of all lands, and I shall bring you into your own land. 25“And I shall sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean - from all your filthiness and from all your idols I cleanse you.

To see how a nation(USA) founded under God could transform into a nation that practices so many things he hates is such and unfortunate thing to witness. It's amazing how many Christians celebrate it because of a false narrative and name but don't seek the TRUTH of their own Lord.

[@eelyeoj5799]

No. I am sorry to say but you are in error. Yes keeping his commandments is already written on our hearts. Every body knows not to kill, steal, etc. This is not what He is talking about. Keeping His COMMANDMENTS means how to interpret His Word or instruction on how to interpret the Word. If you are reading the Word and not counting and converting it into numbers then you are breaking His Torah His LAW. You cannot read the Word and say it means this or that. This is breaking His LAW. First you must be in the only Word of God which is the KJV Bible. If you cannot accept this then you are lost. This can easily be proven by keeping His Commandments. Only in the KJV Bible can you convert the verses WORDS into numbers using simple English gematria A=1----Z=26 and then search for the value in Pi 3.14 for the revelation. You must let the Holy Spirit teach you His Word which is numbers. The Word is MATH problems. When He says keep His commandments He is also talking about understanding the values of the numbers 1-10 or the word values ONE=34, TWO=58, THREE=56, FOUR=60, FIVE=42, SIX=52, SEVEN=65, EIGHT=49, NINE=42, and TEN=39. You need to understand what they mean in order to understand His Word. This is what it means to keep His Commandments. The reason it is TEN commandments. SIN is Transgression of His LAW. TEN=39 and 39 = 3 x 13 which is 313 and is the number of the beast and the man of sin. Below is how to count the number of the beast. Here is how to count the number of the beast. You must be in the KJV Bible to get the correct translation. The number of the beast is 313 and not 666. Must unveil the word number SIX HUNDRED THREESCORE AND SIX to get the hidden manna. Rev.13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Simple English Gematra A=1----------Z=26 SIX HUNDRED THREESCORE AND SIX = 19+9+24 + 8+21+14+4+18+5+4 + 20+8+18+5+5+19+3+15+18+5 + 1+14+4 + 19+9+24 = 313 VLADIMIR VLADIMIROVICH PUTIN = 22+12+1+4+9+13+9+18 + 22+12+1+4+9+13+9+18+15+22+9+3+8 + 16+21+20+9+14 = 313 God said count the number so we have 26 letters in the number. We need to count TWENTY AND SIX to get his birth date. TWENTY = 20+23+5+14+20+25 = 107 AND = 1+14+4 = 19 SIX = 19+9+24 = 52 10-7-1952 President Putin birth date and is the beast of Rev.13:18 Pope Francis is the 2nd beast the False Prophet in Rev.13:11. He became the Pope on 3-13-2013 which is the same number as the 1st beast 313. Go to kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnaVnXusmsp2jdE To learn some of the song that no man can learn except the 144000.

For years now I dreaded Christmas because for some reason something bad will happen to me that day. Even two years ago I spend Christmas day in the emergency room and the year before that. One Christmas a cousin of mine started a fight with me, and I was kicked out the house. I couldn't understand it until now. God was speaking to me to question this holiday but I would just dread Christmas approaching. I had no idea how demonic it was until now. My son is suppose to be in a Christmas show tomorrow in his school, and I made an excuse that he has a doctor's appointment. He is staying home. The devil is always looking for open doors of opportunity to attack christians and celebrating Christmas is a big door opener. I also let my son stay home on Halloween. His school does a huge holloween parade. They also do yoga with the students and I stopped that as well. I told his teacher who is a Christian why, and she was so uncomfortable to do it herself, but had no choice. I feel so sorry for teachers that are christians. They have no choice. It's not easy.

[@nishanathis]

I just have one question. Before I ask it, I completely agree with you that every celebration like Halloween, Christmas, Easter came from pagan celebrations. My question is, do you celebrate your birthday, do you celebrate your children's birthday, your parent's birthday? celebrating your birthday is not in the bible. the disciples didn't celebrate their birthdays. So even though we love our family everyday we still take that one day to show them how greatful we are to have them in our lives and shower them with gifts of appreciation and love. Celebrating Jesus' birth, yes we should do it everyday and we do do it everyday by how we witness to others as Christians. Sharing to the world at this season when ears and eyes are on Christ is a great opportunity for evangelism. we can do it on another day, season, make it massive, but this season has already set the platform for that outreach. it is good to have the knowledge of the Word of God and know his expectations and be mindful of how we celebrate this season after knowing the history. But I don't think we should wipe it off or remove this celebration completely. This is just my opinion.

Kirk Brown you can not tell me you somewhat celebrate your birthday.

If you didn't celebrate it completely, you wouldn't know how old you were, but you know exactly the date, the year, heck, maybe even the time of your birth, & you even allow others to know this info, so therefore, you celebrate it in some way or another than you may think...

I don't have debt Paul teaches "owe no one" God doesn't want his children in debt it brings slavery. This is why we must renew our minds so we can live Free!. Besides the world doesn't even celebrate God, just stuff so people can get into debt and next year be in debt. Some people that I know and are not believers don't celebrate Christmas for this reason.
