Alberto’s story story enlightened me to the pagan roots of Christ-Mass, Easter, Valentine’s Day, Halloween, etc. It was right after this discovery, that I began to make the transition away from celebrating pagan holidays, and learning to keep the Prophetic Feasts of YaHuWaH.
If you call yourself a follower of Messiah, here are Seven Major Reasons why Celebrating Christ-Mass is Cheating on Him:
1.) December 25th is not our Messiah’s birthday.
Whenever I raise this objection, I often hear people rationalize something to this effect:
“The Bible does not tell us when he was born, therefore, it doesn’t matter when he was born. They only thing that matters is that he came into the world to save humanity.”
At first glance, this response seems logical and reasonable---that is until we learn that December 25th was chosen for nefarious reasons!
At one time, I believed that December 25th was just a wild guess that someone chose for the birth of Messiah. But in 1997, I was reading a book about the origins of so-called Christian holidays, and to my shock, I learned that this date was chosen to lump our Messiah in with all the impostors of false pagan religions!
According this Esoteric Occult religion, December 25th is supposedly the reincarnation (rebirth) of all the pagan sun-gods of the nations since the Tower of Babel. The season of the Winter begins on December 21st, and reaches it’s apex on the 25th.
This was anciently celebrated as a time for sacrificing children to Moloch aka Satan, in exchange for receiving material wealth from the pagan gods on January 1st, the pagan New Year! See this blog to learn more about the pagan origins of January 1st as the New Year:
YaHuWaH expressly states that he does not want us to learn how the heathens worship their gods, and then say that we are doing it for him. You can make the excuse that “We can take back the pagan holidays for Christ,” but he makes it abundantly clear, that he does not see it that way. He wants us to have no part in learning to worship him the same way the heathens do.
Debariym (Deuteronomy) 12:30 Take heed to yourself that you be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before you; and that you inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? Even so will I do likewise.
Debariym (Deuteronomy) 12:31 You shall not do so unto YHWH your Elohiym: for every abomination to YHWH, which he hates, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
*Christ-Mass celebrates the sacrificing of children on altars to Satan (and in abortions), and it is still taking place to this day!

2.) The phrase “Merry Christ-Mass” empresses the Blasphemy of the Roman Catholic Mass.
Roman Catholicism expressly states in their Catechism, that at every Mass “Christ becomes the victim anew, as though he were never sacrificed.”
This is contrary to Scripture, as we are told that “Messiah died once for sins” (Romans 6:10), and that those who continue to sin willfully are “Crucifying to themselves the Son of Elohiym afresh and putting him to an open shame” (Hebrews 6:6).
3.) The Real Messiah Was born one of the Seven Feasts in Leviticus 23.
In John 10:8, our Messiah warned us by saying “All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.”
Since the Tower of Babel, Satan’s Mystery School religions were patterned after the rebirth of the sun at the winter solstice.
The birth of the real Messiah can absolutely be proven from Scripture. Therefore, there is no excuse to associate his birth with the impostors.
Any other date for the Messiah of Yisra’el to make his entrance into the world as the “King of Kings & Master of Masters” (other than a Holy Feast of Yah), would disqualify him. This is what is meant in Revelation 19:10 when it says, “The Testimony of Yahuwshuwa is the Spirit of Prophecy.”

4.) In the Occult World Santa is an Anagram for “Satan,” and Claus is Lucas (Lucifer) Spelled Backwards!
Not only are you lying to your children (which tells them it’s okay to tell lies), but parents are inadvertently teaching their children to worship Satan. Celebrating Santa Claus is a violation of the commandments on many levels:
*You are teaching your children that it’s okay to tell lies, all in the name of “fun.”
*You are teaching your children to commit idolatry, as they write letters and pray to a fictitious character that does not exist. This opens them up to the demonic realm, as they communicate with “Imaginary friends” and demonic entities.
*You are teaching your children that being “good” rewards you with material things. This does not train your child to be obedient to the heavenly Father, by the leading of his Spirit and according to the truth of Scripture.
It fails to teach them that being “good” is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, rather than an outward show of good deeds. Instead, they are being encouraged to behave superficially in order to earn material rewards. Rather than building righteous character in your child, this trains them to manipulate by pretending to be righteous. It teaches them that they can be bribed into behaving, if the price is right.
*The Occult World openly admits that “Santa” is an Anagram for “Satan,” thus, you are training up your child to worship the Devil.

5.) Worshipping Trees has been an Ancient custom of the heathens, since the Garden of Eden.
All the decorations and occult symbolism associated with Christ-Mass, has been expressly forbidden in Scripture, because it is associated with ancient child sacrifice rituals that are conducted at the Winter Solstice. We are warned in Jeremiah 10:1-4 not to imitate the heathen nations, by cutting down a tree in the forest, bringing it into our homes, and decorating it with silver and gold ornaments.
We are also warned in Ezekiel 8, and Jeremiah 7 & 44 not to practice the abominations that come from the Ancient Babylonian religion of worshiping Tammuz & the Queen of Heaven. To learn more, see these blogs:
Many of you already know the story in Genesis, of how Eve was enticed to eat from the forbidden tree. But have you considered that Chawah (Eve) was enamored with the tree and it’s lovely fruit, before she made the decision to eat it? You see, it was how beautiful the tree appeared to her eyes, that enticed her!
There are three main categories of sin, that we are warned about in Scripture:
1st Yahuwchanon (John) 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1.) Lust of the flesh: desiring things that the body craves, such as food:
Bereshiyth (Genesis) 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food....
2.) Lust of the eyes - desiring things that are pleasing to the eyes, such as Christ-Mass Trees.
Bereshiyth (Genesis) 3:6 .....and that it was pleasant to the eyes...
3.) Pride of Life - desiring to be wise, to be famous, to be loved by the world.
Bereshiyth (Genesis) 3:6 ....and a tree to be desired to make one wise...
Thus, you can see that Chawah (Eve) was motivated by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, before she took her first bite from the forbidden tree!
Bereshiyth (Genesis) 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which YHWH Elohiym had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, has Elohiym said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Bereshiyth (Genesis) 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Bereshiyth (Genesis) 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Elohiyn has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.
Bereshiyth (Genesis) 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, You shall not surely die:
Bereshiyth (Genesis) 3:5 For Elohiym does know that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Bereshiyth (Genesis) 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Thus, we can see that the enticement of the Christ-Mass Tree is how beautiful it looks to the eye!
You may rationalize to yourself that the prohibition in Jeremiah chapter 10 is not about Christ-Mass Trees, as many do today. However, did you know that there are at least TEN other warnings in the Scriptures against worshipping trees?
Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) 10:
1 Hear you the word which YHWH speaks unto you, O house of Yisra’el:
2 Thus says YHWH, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
If you are one of those people that try and rationalize that these verses in Jeremiah are not speaking about Christ-Mass trees, take a look at this meme.
But, even if you want to rationalize away Jeremiah chapter 10, you will be shocked to realize that there are TEN Scriptures that expressly warns us not to worship “UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE!”
Why TEN warnings?
Because Ten out of Twelve Tribes of Yisra’el were divorced, and sent into captivity for this practice!
You will notice that YaHuWaH makes a clear distinction between “YOUR FEAST DAYS” and “HIS FEAST DAYS!”
Wayyiqra (Leviticus) 23:2 Speak unto the children of Yisra’el, and say unto them, Concerning the Feasts of YHWH, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even THESE ARE MY FEASTS.
Amowc (Amos) 5:21 I HATE, I DESPISE YOUR FEAST DAYS, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
Debariym (Deuteronomy) 12:2 You shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which you shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE:
1st Malakiym (Kings)14:23 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE:
2nd Malakiym (Kings)16:4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE:
2nd Malakiym (Kings) 17:10 And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE:
2nd Chronicles 28:4 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE:
Yeshayahuw (Isaiah) 57:5 Enflaming yourselves with idols UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE: slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) 2:20 For of old time I have broken your yoke, and burst your bands; and you said, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE: you wandered, playing the harlot.
Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) 3:6 YHWH said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Yisrael has done? She is gone up upon every high mountain and UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE: and there has played the harlot.
Yirmeyahuw (Jeremiah) 3:13 Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against YHWH your Elohiym, and have scattered your ways to the strangers UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE: and you have not obeyed my voice, says YHWH.
Yechezqel (Ezekiel) 6:13 Then shall you know that I am YHWH, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols.
#6.) Christ-Mass Commemorates the History of an Antichrist Leader (Antiochus) who erected an idol of Zeus in the Temple of YaHuWaH on December 25th.
Chanukkah celebrates the fact that approximately 3.5 years later, the Maccabees defeated him, took down the idols, cleansed YaHuWaH’s Temple, and dedicated it back to him!
Therefore, Chanukkah is not unbiblical, nor is it a man-made tradition. As a matter of fact, the word “Dedication” (Chanukkah) can be found EXACTLY EIGHT TIMES in Scripture, pertaining to YaHuWaH’s Temple. Chanukkah also celebrates the conception of our Messiah (by the Ruwach ha’Qodesh/Holy Spirit) in the womb exactly 271 days (9 months), before his birth on the Feast of Trumpets.
The prophet Haggai 2:18-20 foretold about the conception of our Messiah on the 24th day of the 9th Hebrew Month (the Eve of Chanukkah), as the “Promised Seed would be in the barn!” Not only does Haggai give us a hint of when the Messiah would be placed in his mother’s womb, but this prophecy also points to the future Temple in the New Jerusalem, when the Lamb & YaHuWaH Almighty shall be “THE TEMPLE!” See Revelation 21:22.
