    Celebrating Christmas

    If Jesus were the reason for the season, there would be less depression, not more. Jesus said, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). The happiest people in the world ought to be those who know why Jesus came into this world. The...

    Celebrating Christmas

    I wasn't accusing anyone of being blasphemous. I was just stating the facts. It seems as though Christmas has become the proverbial “sacred cow.” Speak out against it at your own peril.

    Celebrating Christmas

    I understand that there is some good that can come out of the emphasis on the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. The miracle of the incarnation is a wonderful thing but the devil wants to get attention away from the crucifixion of the MAN Christ Jesus and put it upon the birth of the BABE. If...

    Celebrating Christmas

    I’m not sure that the Lord appreciates having His name identified with a mass. A mass is blasphemy. One of the reasons Christmas is full of the devil is the designation of the holiday season. Every time you say the word “Christmas,” you are referring to Christ and the mass. You are mixing...

    Santa Claus in Church?

    I’m much obliged for your kind comments OldRegular. One of my faults is that I’m a thin skinned person and tend to get hot under the collar rather easily. I need to grow a tougher shell so to speak. Like you said it’s a lot different communicating over the web than face to face. I’m truly...

    Santa Claus in Church?

    If your post was in response to anything I said I certainly don't appreciate being called a liar or spiritually immature. Name calling is the last refuge of those who cannot logically disprove an opposing point of view. By the way, I don’t consider anything to be "tripe" or small when it comes...

    Santa Claus in Church?

    One thing I've learned in life is that a year goes by pretty quickly. It’s never too early to prepare for the commercialized, brain-washing assault of the yuletide season. It takes a steely resolve to not get involved with it. It’s usually members of my family that tend to pull me back into...

    Santa Claus in Church?

    Couldn't agree more. I think the reason most pastors don't preach against Christmas is because they know they would lose half their flock. I thought they were supposed to be the watchdogs of the sheep. Isaiah 56:10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs...

    Santa Claus in Church?

    That’s right Bro. James Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh may I then in Him be found. Dressed in His...

    Santa Claus in Church?

    By the way, do you know where the head of the local Masonic chapter sits in the lodge room? He sits in the NORTH. He is called "Worshipful Master" (a blasphemous title).

    Santa Claus in Church?

    As previously stated, the word "Mass" in religious usage means a "death sacrifice." The impact of this fact is horrifying and shocking; for when the millions of people are saying, "Merry Christmas", they are literally saying "Merry death of Christ!" Furthermore, when the fat man in the red suit...

    Santa Claus in Church?

    Zechariah 2:6 Ho, Ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD. In Zechariah it is the LORD who says, “Ho, ho!” And notice the direction mentioned in the verse - “the land of the North.” Is...

    Santa Claus in Church?

    The true meaning of the words, "Merry Christmas!" Merry means to be happy, joyful and light-hearted. Most people think that the word, "Christmas" means "the birth of Christ.” By definition, it means "death of Christ." The word Christmas comes from "Cristes Maesse", an early English...

    Santa Claus in Church?

    Could you explain what my misapplication of scripture was?

    Santa Claus in Church?

    When we talk about Santa Claus, or should I say when we LIE about Santa Claus, isn't it a coincidence that Santa Claus is supposed to reside at the North Pole? God lives in the North. Psalms 75:6-7 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 7 But...

    Santa Claus in Church?

    I would say that having Santa Claus in the church is pushing the envelope and would definitely be against it. If it’s troubling you then maybe God is trying to tell you something. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Santa is an anagram for Satan.

    Santa Claus in Church?

    Exactly. You hit the bull’s-eye with that one. The topic of Christmas does make for an interesting discussion. Just as an aside I sometimes wonder what the Ancient of Days who has no beginning and no end thinks of the world throwing him a birthday party. It’s one of those questions I will...

    Santa Claus in Church?

    As I said it’s all a matter of conscience. I would certainly not judge anyone that felt differently on the subject. My dearly beloved mother was a devout believer and loved Christmas. I just happened to feel differently. I was posting on another blog awhile ago on the subject if Christmas...

    Alters In The Baptist Churches

    So true. You hit the nail right on the head. As one of my favorite bumper stickers says “Real Christians Don’t Go To Church…Real Christians Are The Church!” It took a awhile for that truism to sink into my head because I fell into the trap of using “churchy” language without thinking it...

    Santa Claus in Church?

    Amen Bro. James. I like the cut of your jib. Your reference to I Cor. 3 was very apt. I believe whether a person celebrates Christmas or not is matter of conscience but after discovering that the holiday of Christmas is steeped in paganism and Roman Catholicism I've decided to forgo the...
