The truth and nothing but the truth...revealed by Christ Ahnsahnghong

Ok so I gotta make this quick, lifes been kinda busy lately so the time to blog gets shorter and shorter, such is life...anyhoo Ive been talking to my friends about Christmas...see this holiday used to be my day with family and friends and food and especially PRESENTS!!! But when I asked my pastor about it I got the real run down on this day...so here goes...

How Did Christmas Come to Be Celebrated on December 25?
A. Roman pagans first introduced the holiday of Saturnalia, a week long period of lawlessness celebrated between December 17-25. During this period, Roman courts were closed, and Roman law dictated that no one could be punished for damaging property or injuring people during the weeklong celebration. The festival began when Roman authorities chose “an enemy of the Roman people” to represent the “Lord of Misrule.” Each Roman community selected a victim whom they forced to indulge in food and other physical pleasures throughout the week. At the festival’s conclusion, December 25th, Roman authorities believed they were destroying the forces of darkness by brutally murdering this innocent man or woman.
B. The ancient Greek writer poet and historian Lucian (in his dialogue entitled Saturnalia) describes the festival’s observance in his time. In addition to human sacrifice, he mentions these customs: widespread intoxication; going from house to house while singing naked; rape and other sexual license; and consuming human-shaped biscuits (still produced in some English and most German bakeries during the Christmas season).
C. In the 4th century CE, Christianity imported the Saturnalia festival hoping to take the pagan masses in with it. Christian leaders succeeded in converting to Christianity large numbers of pagans by promising them that they could continue to celebrate the Saturnalia as Christians.

D. The problem was that there was nothing intrinsically Christian about Saturnalia. To remedy this, these Christian leaders named Saturnalia’s concluding day, December 25th, to be Jesus’ birthday.
E. Christians had little success, however, refining the practices of Saturnalia. As Stephen Nissenbaum, professor history at the University of Massachussetts, Amherst, writes, “In return for ensuring massive observance of the anniversary of the Savior’s birth by assigning it to this resonant date, the Church for its part tacitly agreed to allow the holiday to be celebrated more or less the way it had always been.” The earliest Christmas holidays were celebrated by drinking, sexual indulgence, singing naked in the streets (a precursor of modern caroling), etc.


so basically Christmas has nothing to do with the birth of Christ...its origin lies in the politics between the Christians and the pagans in Rome...
The scariest thing about it is that people know this stuff, I did my research there are tons of websites, books, tv specials, about Christmas and yet they continue to keep up the lie...

The most amazing thing is that Jesus birthday is actually, get this...the PASSOVER.....
Ex. 12:1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, 2 "This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year. 3 Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb...6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. 7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.....On passover night a lamb a year old without defect had to be slaughtered, this was the passover lamb. But who is the PAssover lamb in the new testament....

1 Cor 5:7 Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

So then according to the PAssover lamb's characteristics the lamb had to be a year old, meaning its birthday had to be on the first month and the 14th day ant twilight...So for Christ to truly be the PAssover Lamb His Bithday had to also be on the first month 14th day at twilight...So then Christ's true birthday has to be....(drum roll please)....on the Passover!
So thats the truth and Im glad I said it....Im so happy I found the tuth and I no longer follow th elies everyone else seems to be content with following...Thank YOu Father Christ Ahnsahnghong for opeing my eyes!

It is sad to see that so many people celebrate a holiday that has nothing to do with Jesus Christ but with pagan tradition. Although I used to celebrate it I thank Father AhnSahngHong for opening my eyes to see that Christmas is not God's Feasts, that God actually very much dislikes it, and that we must celebrate the Passover.
