The True Meaning of Christmas | Faith vs. Culture 

Merry Christmas to you! Your a long way from California wow! God be with you Jesus loves you yes I know for the BIBLE tells me so.YEA! ISRAEL

Are you a Christian or Hindu? Just wondering why you say Namaste

@@shirleyh9020 I am Pagan. Jesus and the Old Testament (the original not the corrupt translations) say that we are all one with God. God is everything and everyone. Everywhere you look you will see God. That is the very definition of Omnipresent. So even if I were “Christian” I would be truly following Jesus’s true teachings by saying NAMASTE! John 10:34 “Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?” -KJV “Jesus answered them, “Is it not having been written in your law: I said, you are gods?” -Literal Standard Version “Jesus answered them, 'Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods?” -Young’s Literal Translation Matthew 19:19 “Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” -KJV “Honor your father and mother, and, You will love your neighbor as yourself.” -Literal Standard Version “honour thy father and mother, and, thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.'” -Young’s Literal Translation Notice that they all say “…as yourself” as if saying that you and your neighbor are one with each other, just as Jesus said “I and the father are one” so to you and God are one and you and anyone you meet are one. If you meditate on Omnipresence long enough you too will be able to experience being one with all and feel the oneness of everything. John 10:30 “I and my Father are one.”” -KJV “I and the Father are one.”” -Literal Standard Version “I and the Father are one.'” -Young’s Literal Translation Notice that the literal translations say “the Father” where as the most used KJV and others say “my Father”. The “my” is italicized which means it is a word that the author changed from the original meaning to his/her own person bias of what it should say. Jesus always said “our Father/Mother” or “The Father/Mother” Matthew 5:44 “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” -KJV “but I say to you, love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you,” -Literal Standard Version “but I -- I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you,” -Young’s Literal Translation In “The Gospel of The Holy Twelve” translated by Reverend G. J. Ouseley and was found hidden away in a Buddhist monastery untouched and unaltered for over 1,000 years, Jesus always refers to God as “Father/Mother , our Parent in Heaven”. You can find this translation online for free. Always with LOVE! NAMASTE! The God in me acknowledges and blesses the God in you!

Jesus had an earthly father. The “immaculate conception” was made up after his death. How come you don’t celebrate your own conception date? Maybe if we are celebrating Jesus’ supposed conception date, we should start celebrating our own because your current lifetime starts at the moment of conception. I think I might figure out when the exact date of my own conception was and start celebrating that. I like that idea. I am going to do that. Always with LOVE! NAMASTE!

RU-vid must have deleted your other comment. I cannot find it. Can you repost it? I would like to read what you wrote! Always with LOVE! NAMASTE!

Their god is a tree cut from the forest.... sounds like Christmas to me.

@@righteousfire277 that is a misunderstanding of what the Pagans believed was God. They did not worship the tree just like today no one worships the tree. The Pagans saw the divine or Gods Essence in everything. Many of Yeshuahs quotes reveal that he too believed that God was everywhere (Omnipresent). The Pagan religion is all about respecting the divine in all things, that includes you and me. They did not see God in a single tree or a single entity that is separate from oneself. Luke 17:21 - “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you” -KJV “nor will they say, Behold, here; or, Behold, there; for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.” -Literal Standard Version “nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, the reign of God is within you.'” - Young’s Literal Translation Always with LOVE! NAMASTE! The God in me acknowledges and blesses the God in you!

I woke up about 2 or 3 years ago when I realized it was pagan !! If Christmas was truly of God then I believe there wouldn't be so much stress and depression during the holidays
