The only reason to celebrate a MASS is to dishonr and disbelieve God and worship in a non-biblical way

Last year i broke tradition.

This year i have been humbled so much.

Listening to the children singing praise to God through nativity and such things.

A day of love and praise to Heavenly Father and Yahshua the Messiah is not made void by the number of the day, it is what is in our Heart that day and every day.

My son is talking wonderful things about GOD of late, asking me questions and so on.

I don't want to delude my children with the phantom red and white feature that many excite their children with this time of year.

All the hype about giving presents, can not cover the fact that we have been given the Greatest gift by our Heavenly Father, His Son the Messiah Yahshua.

I kinda see why the phantom red and white guy came in to the matter... to try and distract people, but it can not succeed.

Remember it is what is in your heart that counts.
Although Santa Claus was a Catholic Priest. It appears that the non believer celebrates Christmas more with Santa Claus in mind rather that our Savior. I do believe this to be wrong.

More Jesus, less Santa Claus! Jesus is the reason for season!

Christmas is a time when a person should be thinking about a Savior. A gift from God. A time for giving.

i don't think it's real profitable to spit on Catholic worship, as many problems as i might have with their theology & customs.

"Mass" is a transliteration of the latin "Missa" meaning "dismissed" or "sent"

so that "Christmas" is derived from the phrase "Christ missa" meaning Christ is sent

Actually, I think Satan and his demons really like xmas. It clouds the true meaning of Christ's life as a man and what He came to accomplish. It rather teaches selfishness and greed and lying. (Satan Klaus is the source of all these wonderful gifts.)

Yep, I think that Satan and his demons would love to have people involved in false worship on days that God does not recognize in ways that He calls the ways of Gentiles (heathens - means Gentiles)...

Jer 10:2 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.
Jer 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 the workman, with the axe.
Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jer 10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

Deu 12:29 When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
Deu 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
Deu 12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
Deu 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Yep, Satan and the demons are thrilled when naive and gullible people appropriate false worship and call it "Christian".

Yeah, what was I thinking, it doesn't really matter what God says, He'll just be happy to get any worship He can get, anyway He can get it. You have to be kidding me.

If they are a non-believer...why would they be celebrating Christ in the first place. Them making it more about Santa actually seems rather right based on their belief systems.

How about we should celebrate the days He tells us to?

Lev 23:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Lev 23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
Lev 23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
Lev 23:4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.

and continue reading the chapter.
yes, please do continue reading the chapter.
all the parts about Jerusalem; the temple; priests...and sacrifices for sin....animal blood.
so that you may be accepted.


John 5:39
You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me.

Christmas is actually idolatry if you think about it! Think, a big fat guy in a red suit who "knows if your naughty or nice, who knows when your sleeping or awake" that is an attribute of a "God" which is therefore makes Christmas a pagan holiday. If you look into the history of Christmas you will know it was the catholic church that created "Christmas" and said it was Christs birthday, but the bible makes no mention of Christs actual birthday. Therefore if you want to strive to be a true christian then its better then that you don't celebrate it, this goes to the other catholic holidays as well like Easter.

Gee and I thought singing silent night in church lit by candles,because we are glad Christ was sent was worshiping him, thanks for setting that straight that it was really demonic, who would have ever known :rolleyes:

the commercialism is a recent thing, celebrate for the right reasons, I actually enjoy giving gifts when I can, I dont expect anything in return, and could care less if I didnt get a thing
