NOW, MARLIN, TELL, TT, THESE ARE NOT YOUR POSITIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AND I WILL BACK OFF. --Glenn Let's Take Christ Out Of X-Mas (a poem -author unknown - attributed to The Conversion Center -a ministry to Roman Catholics) Because it is that time of year, this verse has come your way, To tell you why I can't condone this pagan holiday. "Merry Christmas" is a phrase you'll hear this time of year, Expressing heartfelt sentiments to those you hold most dear. Let's "Keep Christ in Christmas" is another timely phrase, It's Satan who is glorified -
Again, you are condemning Christinas for glorifying Christ's birth. I am not glorifying Satan. This is utter stupidity.
Beware his subtle ways! Jesus is "The Reason for the Season" some folks say, And yet the scriptures teach Christ wasn't born on Christmas Day! For God declares the 25th was not our Saviour's birth,
While Christ was probably not born on Dec. 25, the Bible does NOT teach Christ was NOT born on Dec. 25.
Yet saved and unsaved on this day rejoice with equal mirth! You can't mix children of the dark with children of the light, And expect this fornication to be pleasing in His sight!
I personally have led many people to Christ at the close of a Christmas program. World wide hundreds of thousands of people have come to Christ because of Christmas activities.
But men love darkness more than light is what the scriptures say, And so they've tried to christianize this total heathen day! J
Praise the Lord, we have Christianized a pagan holiday. This is great. We stole Christmas from the Devil.
esus is the Way, the Truth, No truth is of a lie, So celebrating Christmas time His "True Church" will not buy!
Which church is the true church?
Men call this season holy, then chock it full of lies, Could this be of the Holy One, or just a mere disguise? When men call something holy, you had best beware, Satan's at the heart of it, countless souls to snare! Can you believe the Christmas season with its drunkenness and mirth, Gives honor to our Saviour to recall His holy birth?
Yes, Christians can celebrate Christmas with drunkeness and therefore give honor to our Savior. As I said, I celebrate Christmas with soul winning.
Do you believe that every place that sports a Christmas tree, Abortion clinics, banks and bars are Christianity?
Of course not, but the dots don't connect. Your foundation is wrong, therefore everything you build upon the wrong foundation is wrong. Sinners use electricity to show porn movies. That does not make it wrong for Christians to use electricity to light their church buildings or even their Christmas trees.
Whose birthday did it celebrate before our Saviour came? It's still the same old festival, someone just changed the name! It's Nimrod's birthday party, always was and 'ere will be,
Doesn't matter as the doctrine of orginis is not in the Bible.
Think of this, dear Christian, as you decorate your tree! For long before dear Jesus came, this holiday was kept, From Babylon into the church this season slowly crept!
Doesn't matter as the doctrine of orginis is not in the Bible.
Satan shakes his fist at God, "What fools these mortals be, I told you I'd deceive them and they would worship me!" Ole Satan takes a scripture truth and mixes it with lies, "You'll spend eternity with me!" the old deceiver cries.
Marlin, are you saying above that I will spend eternity with Satan because I celebate Christmas?? I understand you to have said this over and over. THIS IS WHY I REBUKE YOU IN JESUS NAME.
But Christ declares from majesty, "I've still a faithful few, Who are awake and will not bow nor bend their knees to you!" God seeks those who'll worship Him in spirit and in truth. For many, this means we must reject the lies taught from our youth! The standard is not set by men, but set by God alone, And only those who follow it will sit upon the throne! God is One Who won't be mocked, He's weary of our ways, Of taking pagan festivals to call them holy days! They say if we remove the lies from all this Christmas fun, We'll soon end up with nothing to remind us of God's Son! Like Santa Claus, "He's coming, kids!" They never bat an eye, But God sees this for what it is, It's just a Christmas lie. Santa's elves make all these toys, and Santa's reindeer fly, He knows the good girls and the boys, another Christmas lie! In case you haven't figured out, his demons pull that sleigh, And Santa is really Satan, just spelled another way! And for the more "religious," how about some "sacred lies"?
The above is so stupid I can't believe it. I personally, (when I ran a bus ministry to bring to Church poor children), have over 200 children in church on Christmas Sunday who did not attend church. They came to see Santa Clause. The heard the Gospel and many of the got saved. That was about 30 years ago. Just last year I ran into a man who started hugging me. I did not know him. He told me he had ridden my church bus to church on Christmas Sunday and got saved. Now he is a grown married man with children and the whole family is saved. THANK GOD FOR THE CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION. THANK GOD FOR MY BEING ABLE TO USE SANTA CLAUSE TO GET LITTLE CHILDREN UNDER THE EAR OF THE GOSPEL!!!!!!!!!
The Saviour's born to mankind, so we'll all see paradise! Makes no difference how we live, or what we do and say, God wouldn't send a man to Hell, it's not the christian way! Jesus born in Bethlehem on Christmas long ago, Freezing shepherds grazing sheep in the December snow! Christmas hymns and natal scenes, as holy as they seem, Cleverly are part of this hellish Christma s scheme! "Jingle Bells" and "Silent Night" led many souls astray, But now you have a glimpse of how God views this heathen day! Holly, bells, and mistletoe, and toasts of Christmas glee May leave you with a hangover in Hell eternally!
Again, I am sorry to say, I rebuke you in Jesus name for being the accuser of the brethren. I use Christmas to lead people to Christ. My Christmas soulwinning will leave me with a hangover in Hell eternally? Marlin, you are a sick man. I am not going to read any more. This is utter stupidity. No wonder you can't get along with other followers of Christ.
Candles, lights and Christmas trees are pagan to the core, And befit not one washed by the blood but flaunted by the "whore." Don't fall for this deception, I pray you'll come to see, The white horse of Apocalypse is bearing down on thee! There is no truth in Christmas, it's just a pack of lies, "Presents" from the evil one with hopes your soul he buys! Of many "false Christs" we are warned, most in the pulpits be, Beware when they say: "Come! Let's carol round the Christmas tree!" The "secret" of the Lord's with those who fear His holy Name. If you really are a Christian, cease from this worldly game! Luke 16 tells the story, verse 13 is specially true, You cannot serve two masters, choose today which one for you! "We're saved, it doesn't matter" you may hear some preacher say; But all will find out differently when comes the judgment day! If you were blind He could forgive, but since you say you see, The consequences you will reap for all eternity! In vanity you worship Him, traditions for to keep, Protesting barks and oinks I hear aren't coming from the sheep! In Revelation 3:16 the fate of many lies, Not bold enough to take a stand, they yield to compromise! And then they wonder why He says, Lukewarm! I'll spue thee out! They've let the standard so far down they may not hear this shout! Every Word of God is pure, and we must be the same, Let's seek to reach this standard and be worthy of His name! The Pilgrims would not celebrate this day the world holds dear, They boldly stood against it, sound in truth they did not fear! My friend, if you love Jesus, if He reigns within your heart, Forsake this Christmas garbage, and refuse to take a part! For one day soon we'll give account for all we've said and done, Have we stayed steadfast in the Lord, or bowed to Satan's fun? If you really want to please your Lord, refrain this wicked way, Love and honor His holy Name each and every day! Bow your head and ask the Lord, "Forgive me, I have strayed, I've worshipped Christmas idols, Into their hands I've played." "Oh! Father, we cry out to Thee in these last dangerous days, Give us strength and courage to repent our evil ways!" If you don't know the Saviour, and you're sick of all your sin, Just open up your heart's door, For He's promised to come in. Repent! And He will wash your sins much whiter than the snow, When you take on His righteousness, to Heaven you will go. Don't wait until you're good enough, that good you'll never be, Let Jesus save your wretched soul, He sets sin captives free! You cannot offer anything to One Who is all wise, Cain's offering was evil, Abel's was the prize! The foolish count on works to place their souls in paradise, But the good works of Christmas, even these will not suffice, No matter how you care and give, how lavishly you bestow, Won't keep you from that fiery fate prepared for you below! And giving gifts to needy folks, you think rewards may bring, But all your works mean nothing lest you serve the King of Kings! In Matthew 7 verse 22, and also 23, Show "holy works" done "In His Name" Can be iniquity! It's those who hide behind a mask, doing works for all to see, That may impress their fellow man, but fail to well please Thee! So before you do another work, before comes end this day, Think long of who is glorified when Christmas games you play. Jesus Christ, the Holy One, Righteous, Pure, and True, I won't put Christ in Christmas to dishonor Him, should you? http://members.aol.com/WordOfTheEternal%20/NwsClpz/120702.html
