Hello,
Your questions: Did the Church institute Dec 25th to replace Pagan Festivals with a Christian Theme? Is there recorded history of these discussions or meetings or edicts?
The "church" is the Roman Catholic "Mother" church of all churches. She is the fourth kingdom spread out on the earth and between the seas.
This "Mother" church of all churches instituted "Christianity" mixed with ancient Babylonian beliefs covered with charity. It looks like someone is giving you a beautiful "gift" or "present" but really its a poison deadly snake inside the box.
Yes the "church" instituted Dec 25th from the Romans and the Romans instituted worship on Dec 25th to their "sun god" through this ancient Babylonian belief.
Please note: This is a very wicked and dangerous Babylonian practice that the whole world acknowledges and celebrates on December 25th, because behind it is the Satan who deceives the whole world thru it which is the "image" of jealousy that provokes jealousy in the heavenly realm.
The "church" must repent as a "whole" and remove it from their foundation of beliefs ASAP.
December 25 is not biblical.
There is no record of Jesus, or his chosen disciples, or their followers acknowledging or celebrating such an event pertaining to Jesus's birth.
It's like setting up a date for the coming of Jesus every year.
Here is an example:
"Easter" is also an ancient Babylonian belief, but somehow it was "added" (when I don't know) into this scripture Acts 12:4 in the "New Testament" Holy Bible.
Acts 12:4, And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
But in verse 3 it says, And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
So which is it? Easter or Passover? Jews do Passover. All chosen disciples including Matthias are Jewish both physically and spiritually.
Your question: Is there recorded history of these discussions or meetings or edicts? there are many debates on certain websites that have researched and found December 25th is an ancient Babylonian practice/belief.
However believers themselves need to seek God in prayer for the truth about these practices that "churches" acknowledge and celebrate.
I did and I know the truth.
Revelation 21:27, And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defiles, neither whatsoever works abomination, or makes a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of eternal life.
Romans 14:17, For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
