Homeschooling Torah | In this personal message from Anne to family and friends, she shares what she sees at Christmas time, and why she believes Scripture warns us against mixing truth with idolatry. Recommended Video: www.youtube.co...
Yup christianity hijacked many pagan traditions and incorporated them into their holidays to make it easier to convert pagans in tha early days of christianity. Imo religion (ALL ORGANIZED RELIGIONS) is an abomination on this Earth.
@DiscipleDave DotCom The thing is people are celebrating a lie because we don’t know when it’s His birthday. Secondly the Bible didn’t give us the date and never told us to celebrate. Furthermore the few birthday celebrations in the Bible end up in death. The Almighty hate lies so stop celebrating lies. Christians won’t observe the festivals that’s in the scriptures but they find it easy to celebrate man made holidays. They would either say it’s abolish or it’s for the Jews. Foolishness to Christ Ma$$ celebration. People say the Lord is the reason for the season but everyday is the His season.
I just found this video today by accident December 26th, 2020. Thank you for sharing. I am so glad to know there are others who don’t participate in Christmas. I wish I could find a church with like minded believers such as yourself. Thank you for the video 😁💜🤗.
@@jenniferstechow6278 Quite a number of 7th Day Adventists do, not because they believe that the Saviour was born on 25th December but by putting up decorations, including having Christmas trees in their home, even in the church, sending Christmas cards, holding Christmas parties, cooking traditional Christmas dinner etc.
Excellent presentation. This will be our first year not celebrating Christmas as the Lord has convicted us that it is not of Him. We are the only ones we know not celebrating it! Please pray for strength in Christ's name during this time. May God bless you and your family
My sister, my sister this was perfectly scriptural. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. This is our first year of practicing obedience. I lead it in my house from things I have read and studied. What have we been doing. Satan has deceived the whole would and has set up shop right in Christianity.
God bless you for making this video. My husband and I were throwing out Christmas decor yesterday and I've been putting it off for years. I discovered these celebrated holidays were rooted in paganism. I felt a little nostalgic and have yet to destroy all the decor. We even wondered if the balled ornaments were ok to keep. Thank Yahweh that your video popped into my feed! I did not know. I repent of all the adoration of those holidays for our family. Thank you again and just, wow.
Thank you SOOO much for sharing with us. We can relate to all that you're feeling right now, and I'm so happy to hear of your commitment to obey the Father.
@@Homeschoolingtorah A lot of churches today celebrate Christmas and when I try to tell them the truth, they make all kinds of excuses and saying that they celebrate the birth of Jesus (Yeshua) Christ and that he is the reason for the season. In the New Testament of the Bible the disciples or those who were around Jesus (Yeshua) Christ did not celebrate his birth.
Hi Anne this video is how I found your site! This is our 3rd year away from celebrating christmas. Father forgive us, all my life until now I didn't know but once you know, you know... I praise Yah for saving my family and His Word will forever be on my lips.
Thank you, Anne, for sharing this wonderful video. It confirmed what I have found in my studies. I'm concerned that many who left this holiday are now returning to it out of the claim of false historical information. I pray this video receives many more views and shares. Thank you for your gentle and loving spirit.
Thanx Ann. I agree 38th you. I love the LORD with all of me. I knew since the 80's the TRUTH about the pagan origin of holidays. I didn't celebrate for awhile then I did again. I just recently in May through prayer and realizing my need for a SAVIOR, stopped going through life as a Spiritual Zombie! I repented and told the LORD that i would only worship HIM only. I wept so much i almost took out our kayak... lol. I decided this was the day. Glancing over at the landing above where we kept our artificial tree and orniments, I then prayed for strenth to get it all down. I asked the LORD playfully if I could borrow one of HIS 17+ft Angels and HE did. Dragging the tree and orniments to the burn pit I then explained to my husband about why and he agreed and we burned it all. Do you know I felt so free and giddy! Our daughter moved out of state and we would decorate our tree together her and her fiance by Skyping one another. The togetherness I'll miss but my promise will be kept to the LORD. I will pray and fast untill I go to our daughters for dinner or perhaps I may just pray and fast all the day. I want to let GOD know that i will focus on JESUS only HOS one and only SON that was sent in the form of a babe to die for for us as GOD and man on the cross for our sins. The church I attend still celebrates this way and everyone i know. Everyone thinks I'm a scrooge... No I'm commited to JESUS...Looking at all what's intailed now is like nails across the chalk board. ssscccrrraaapppppeee! When asked why I will say... I made a conscious decission between the LORD and i to worship JESUS humbly. thanx in CHRIST paula a obedient humble servant of CHRIST Ann perhaps we can pray with others at say 8:00 am about dedicating the day humbly to JESUS.
Amen and thank you for sharing. I pray that He uses you to continue to bring truth about this to many. I recently stopped celebrating and my family and friends are struggling to understand, thank you for sharing the truth through scripture on what is so hard to see and understand.
Wow, I needed this today!!!! My family and I haven't celebrated these holidays for 10+ years and at times I find the loneliness unbearable. Your voice is calm and kind and gives me hope. Thank you so much! I will be subscribing to your channel❤️.
She’s very knowledgeable.....and most of what she’s saying is the truth.... people do your own research. Knowledge is indeed power. There’s a lot of information out there on this pagan ritual we call Christmas. Don’t get me wrong as recent as last year I am guilty of being part of the festivities and decorating my home with tons of decorations etc but a dear friend sent me a video about Christmas after watching it I was so convicted and now on my on journey of discovery. Our God is a jealous God. When we put up all these things we’re worshiping the devil... like what she’s saying or not she’s going to save souls with this message. Do your own research....
First, I appreciate how kind you are in the way you explained everything. I appreciate that you didn't come down on Christians who do celebrate it. I also appreciate how gentle your tone was, not cynical or mocking. Now, if I may, I'd like to share a different perspective. I once babysat some kids who were watching a story of the true meaning of the Christmas tree and it was all about how the ancient Egyptians and Romans used palms and green leaves as a symbol of worship to their gods. Pagans would bring evergreens into their homes during the winter months and decorate them with nuts to brighten the mood. There are several stories of how this transformed into the modern Christmas tree. One story is of Saint Boniface, a Benedictine Monk in Germany who comes across a group of pagans making sacrifices to the god, ‘Thor’ before an oak tree. Apparently Boniface becomes angry, cuts down the oak with an axe, and the pagans all gather expecting the monk to be immediately struck down by Thor and his big hammer. When Boniface is still standing, however, he takes the opportunity to share the Gospel with those gathered and they all choose Jesus. The legend goes that a fir tree grew out of the stump of the fallen oak and that's where how the Christmas tree was born. It's a pretty close analogy to what the Christmas tree represents - new life growing through the arrival of Jesus on the earth. And not just the new life of Jesus’ birth, but what that birth means for us. The tree points to the sky and the star represents how Jesus was found by the shepherds. They followed this star. Also. We give gifts to one another bc the Wisemen gave gifts to Jesus. My gift to Jesus is my complete and total devotion to Him as a missionary with human trafficking abolition. I'm not saying everyone has to do that, that's just mine. In addition, the nativity scene is all about Jesus. Scripture says we shouldn't create an image of God. It does not say that we shouldn't make an image of Jesus. That's why no church has created an image of God, but many, if not all, have some sort of image somewhere inside their building of Jesus. Whether it's an image of Him on the cross, an image of Him spending time with children, an image of Him and the disciples at the Last Supper, or an image of Him holding a lamb...we see images of Jesus, but we don't worship the images. It's just to look at, to to take in the stories we believe are facts. We also give children color sheets to make Jesus real to them because He is Man and He is God, He is our Brother, and He is our best friend, but God is also God and Scripture says He is spirit and He is our eternal Father, so we do not make an image of Him. So that's why I celebrate Christmas. I don't do Santa bc that's lying and when I have kids, I won't be doing "Elf On the Shelf" either also bc that's lying. Scripture talks about 16 strongholds and the spirit of error is one of them, which enters through deception, so I'm clear about that and want no part of that or the other 15 strongholds. I don't see how celebrating Christmas opens a spiritual door to any of the 16 strongholds and I really love how that missionary took a stand for truth. He preached the Gospel. He fulfilled the Great Commission. I'd actually love to see more Christians doing this bc afterall, it's the Great Commission, not the "Great Suggestion." 😉
I love your channel. New subscriber, God has been speaking to me about these pagan holidays. I am so happy I've found this channel. It will be a great change but it's necessary. My family does not agree with me and that's fine. I want to stand out amongst the crowd!
Thank you this video. It is truly confirmation on what God has put on my heart for the past few years concerning the pagan hidays I grew up celebrating and with my children. I love Gid with all my heart and I want to obey Him and worship Him in the way that He accepts. I will share this video with my children and others. May Jehovah continue to bless you..
Hello. I'm new to Torah and I love your video! this is my first year not doing Christmas and we'll it's been interesting thus far. I noticed you mentioned in Hebrews not to forsake the assembly and that it's for the appointed times in Leviticus 23? A lot of ppl have said this is about Shabbat and we must not forsake assembling with one another on that day. Can you clarify if you know? Shalom:)
Since Sabbath is the first appointed time listed in Leviticus 23, then yes, we really do agree with that view. Of course, not everyone has someone to fellowship with, and that's tough. Here is a post that might help... anneelliott.com/2015/02/how-we-do-sabbath-part-2/
Great video! I completely agree 💯! This will be our 2nd year not celebrating nor partaking in the "holidays" (beast feasts). I just love worshipping HIM on his holy feast days! They are so fun & not stressful whatsoever. Ever since the holy spirit called us out of Babylon & showing us the truth we've been set free!! HalleluYah! What an amazing Yah we serve. Blessings to you & your family. Shalom 🙏
The Most High in xist?? that is blasphemous ....YHWH is one and does not share Praise or glory...Isa 42:8 “I am יהוה, that is My Name, and My esteem I do not give to another, nor My praise to idols.
Thank you. This was very informative, and, I learned a few things I didn't already know, such as the Biblical feast days. Also, 1 John 2:16, I wrote that down too. Thank you!
I thank Yehovah that he prepared me for giving this celebration up. I lost interest over the years not having any idea that it was pagan. Then last year Yehovah gave me eyes to see and ears hear and a heart willing to obey and it was SO EASY!
Greatly Loved and Blessed are the doers of The Word of YaHUaH of hosts. Just as YaHUShA did and taught. Hear The Word of YaHUaH in YaHUShA MathathYahu/Gift of YaHUaH 22:36-40 “Teacher, which is the greatest Commandment in the Torah?” YaHUShA said to him, “‘You shall love YaHUaH your Elohim with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ “This is the first and greatest Commandment. “And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ “On these two commandments hang all the Torah and the Prophets.” Sadly, almost a third of mankind currently worship a graven image of the sun god of the Heathen, born on December 25, who has a popular image to this very day. For the past 500 years or so, many of YaHUaH's people have called this graven image of Jupiter/Zeus/Iove their “lord” and “saviour” and worshipped it; calling a very similar image of the sun-god of the Heathen "Jesus" in English and “Hesus” in Spanish. They do this vanity on the 1st day of the week which is the venerable day of the sun god commonly known as "Sunday" whilst facing Eastwards (most churches are built to have the assembly face Eastwards) towards the rising sun; in one of her buildings! Mystery Babylon the Great controls all the man-made-up "religions" of the world at a certain level. Wickedness in high places. It is written, “Come out from her my people, lest you will suffer Her plagues....” Repent with a sincere heart back to YaHUaH of hosts and The One Torah (Instruction, Teaching, "Law") and be immersed in the Name of the Heavenly Father #YaHUaH and His Son #YaHuShA for the redemption of sin; and then go on and sin no more. If anyone reads the Scriptures for themselves they will learn that a man cannot die for another man's sins; and human sacrifice is an abomination to YaHUaH of hosts! It is written, the whole world is deceived by the wicked one. And so it appears it is... MathathYahu/Gift of YaHUaH 19:17 So He [YaHUShA] said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, YaHUaH. But if you want to enter into life, keep the Commandments.” Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the called-out ones ["saints"]; here are those who keep the Commandments of YaHUaH and the belief of YaHUShA [the original Hebrew proper masculine noun H3091 which means YaHUaH (is) Saviour]. And besides Him [YaHUaH] there is no other saviour. Shabbat Shalom
This was amazing. I wish we could be friends over the phone. I live in Texas and I’m also a homeschool mama of 8 years , 4 kids. We just moved here and it’s lonely. Being newly Torah observant and no more pagan secular holidays can make you feel insulated. If there is a way we could connect , I would absolutely love this. Thank you for your ministry. I just came across this today. שלומ 🤍🤍
For me and my family we will celebrate Christmas 🎄🎁 in my house . We don’t know when Jesus was born, we don’t know the exact month but we still celebrate his birth. May God bless you and your family.
Amen sister I feel the same way people stopped talking to me because I told them the truth. And I was called a Grinch too. But I don't care because I know that I'm not worshiping God like the pagans celebrate their gods. Amen 🙏
I’m a Torah believer-yet I have a wonderful wife who loves to celebrate these days with our family. Please pray for me as it is very hard at this moment. Thank you for your study! Blessings!
Why is an anti-defamation group coming after me for making a RU-vid video about me not conforming and celebrating christmas?? Anyone else experience this?
HI SIS .I LOVE YOU FOR THIS.I HAD TO BOW DOWN AND TELL JESUS CHRIST IM SORRY. BECAUSE I DIDN'T NO THAT WAS . BLASPHEMY AGAINST JESUS CHRIST. THESE PEOPLE BETTER WAKE UP. AND GIVE CREDIT TO OUR CREATOR. ITS TIME TO GIVE THAT DEMONIC HOLIDAY UP. GLORY TO GOD.
(Regarding the conflict which arises between those who keep the holidays of men and those who obey the Word of The Lord) * Video link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bc1Bth495AM.html
Hello, thank you for making this video. I agree with you. I just cant bring my self to justify celebrating Christmas or Halloween as a Christian woman. I cant get pass the satanic symbolism of the decorations and rituals either. the argument I hear from Christians that are for this holiday is that they are worshiping Jesus and bringing glory to Him; but if JAH didn't accept strange fire as Holy Worship to Him from the sons of Aron Leviticus 10:1-2 and if He Is the same yesterday, today and forever, Hebrews 13:8 I don't think He will accept something evil that was used for satans worship as Holy worship to Himself now. we as children of God are suppose to set the example. God says to let your light shine in this dark world, if we blend with the darkness, dimming our light by compromising our faith, how are the people who are blinded by the deceptions of the enemy suppose to see Jesus? I want to do what is right and if is okay to celebrate then fine if not then I wont, but the arguments I have heard that are for this Holiday are just not cutting it for me. we have all year to worship our savior's birth and to evangelize to our friends and neighbors; why choose this day when pagans have always and are still today worship their sun god?. another fact I cant reconcile with is that the Jesus asked His disciples to commemorate His death not His birth which makes sense because it is the foundation of our faith that Jesus gave his life in our place for our sins on the cross, was in the grave for 3 days and by the power of The Holy spirit was resurrected out of the grave so that anyone who believes this will be saved and resurrected from the grave too when Jesus returns for us. "when the Son of man comes, shall He find faith on the earth?" I can see how this might be possible and it hurts because Jesus was faithful to the very end, without compromise, He deserves our best.
I’m just watching this for the first time, and haven’t checked out the channel so I apologize for asking a stupid question. Have you found a particular denomination you follow? I like your points very much, well laid out, logical, factual and historically accurate. A refreshing approach to religion!
Not a stupid question at all. No, we aren't really in any denomination right now. Kraig is a teaching elder at a small fellowship that meets on Saturdays (in Central Michigan), www.youtube.com/@SolelSabbath. You might be able to find a similar fellowship here: aroodawakening.tv/community/aviv-fellowships/about-aviv-fellowships/
@@Homeschoolingtorah Thank you very much! My soon to be wife and I have recently left a very high control group pretending to be “religion” and we are desperately trying to not throw the baby out with the bath water. I believe there’s a god, I am deeply grateful for the life that I have, I have been praying for understanding and reading the Bible for the first time without indoctrination literature and an approved set of conclusions I must reach…it’s been incredible. That said, we’ve both been wishing we could learn some new perspectives and see if anyone out there has things figured out. We certainly don’t lol. If I may share something briefly, a common trend I’ve noticed is that many people that have left this same cult like, high control group, have adopted other religions that teach the opposite of what they were taught, just out of spite or simply because it goes against those teachings. For example, the Trinity. I for the life of me, can’t figure out how the holy spirt I pray for, is the same as Jesus, who is the same as the father. The ancient writers of the Bible had a special reverence for YHWY (does anyone know for sure how to say that? Lol) We pray to the father through Jesus. Jesus is our mediator and savior, and we ask for gods Holy Spirit to help us. Jesus said the father is greater, doesn’t that sort of end any notion that they are the same “being”? I also see a lot of people embracing things like Christmas which I completely agree is a materialistic, pagan and harmful holiday. Anyway, I appreciate your response and am going to check out the links you’ve provided. All the best to you and yours 🍻🍻🍻
I love your explanation. If you can put the video available to people who speaks other language like Portuguese will be great so I could send your video to my family to explain why I don’t celebrate it.
I stopped celebrating the pagan occasion 37 years ago. It was very difficult at first be a back then there were very few that did not celebrate. But after we learned about what we were doing and where all those customs came from, we made the decision to no longer engage in such practices. We still do not. We’re so happy to see that so many are coming to knowledge and that we are not alone. Thank for your video to help explain to others why Christmas is not good.
Matthew 12:36-37 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
We have been stripping pagan things and leaving all of that in thr past and following Yahs feasts. As i was listening to this, it made me think of the verse in Corinthians about satan appearing as an angel of light and the other fallen angels. Pagam holidays in reality are satan appearing as light. Making those days appear as light, counterfiet n false. he certainly dresses it up nice and really gets us with our feelings, smells, tugs at our hearts but how ugly it really is when you see it for what it really is. I appreciate this video, and im new to finding your schooling methids etc but it came at the right time and I know that Yah orchestrated this. Ive been weeding out curriculum, ive been wanting to do school biblically based but ive been lost in where to begin. Thank you for putting this all together, the time and effort and sharing it with the rest of us.
Christina Newman speaking for my own family: no. We do not buy presents and we have asked family to no longer buy presents for us. Instead, I have encouraged family that if there is something they would like to get for us or our children at any point in the year, by all means, get it... but please don’t wrap it in Christmas paper. Wrap it in love, and give without strings. We don’t need a special time of year to get each other gifts. My children get things as they need them or earn them throughout the year.
We don't purchase Christmas presents. Instead, we started purchasing things for our son throughout the year if he needed or really wanted something. We didn't wait for a specific day to give him those things. We really liked it better that way!!
Christmas is about humanism, the holy spirit aske me to stop celebrating pagan holydays, especially christmas easter and halloweeni didnt celebrate Halloween anyway.easter is a holyday to ishtar the pagan goddess of sex.
I came to this conclusion by reading the bible. The first commandment is "Thou shalt not have any god before me". A god could be something that you cherish more than God himself. Christmas itself can draw us away from God deceiving us to think we are doing his will by celebrating this holiday.
Thank you so much for this video!!! We are on our journey to stop celebrating these pagan holidays... have/could you do a video on how you phased ot these celebrations what steps you took? What about when kids are involved and used to tradition s?
Hi there, I really appreciate your video. I didn't seek out information on the pagan origins of Christmas, but I believe the Lord has been bringing it to my attention for several months now. Ever since I started following Christ, about three years ago, I've felt weird about Christmas every year but this year, I'm understanding why. I'm still new to the whole Torah thing and praying that God will help me navigate it and understand it. I would like to email you as I have questions if that's okay. I have a question about wreaths in general. Just decorative ones, not ever green ones. Is there an evil pagan history behind those as well? I just think they're really pretty with a last name initial and some seasonal floral on a front door. I would love your input on that. And also about Christmas, would you say it's okay to "feast" with your family that day and "celebrate" Christs birth? I've decided we're not doing any gifts at all next year and I'm getting rid of all our Christmas decorations and any pagan traditions. We're going to try our best at least, I feel like there's always something pagan we do that we don't know. It's also tricky because not everyone celebrates Christ in my family. Thank you for sharing your heart and making this video! ❤Hollyanne
Baruch HaShem, dear sister! I praise YahoVAH for your precious, sweet spirit! You are an example of telling the Truth in love! I have seen teachings on YT that state that there were more than 3 kings; if there was a group the size of a small army, that could possibly explain why Herod and all of Yerushilayim were distressed at the Magi's arrival. We know that Herod was paranoid about losing his throne and it was his fear that contributed to him being influenced by HaSatan to kill all the male babies 2 years old and under. I just wanted to share this bit of information as a way to bless you and all fellow TRUE believers in Yeshua HaMaschiach. Shalom Alechem! In Maschiach's Love, Jeff Donovan
I was confronted with Jeremiah 10. Im glad i saw your video, my child and husband is not happy with canceling christmas. Do you have any ideas for which i could substitute it for the kids?
Yes! I would substitute the biblical feasts listed in Leviticus 23. They are so fun -- and so meaningful, too. Here is a link with lots of resources: homeschoolingtorah.com/category/member-home/teacher-helps/biblical-holidays/
Shalom sister. Romans 14 is about days of fasting vs days of feasting, as well as eating clean meat vs just eating veggies. It's not telling us we can worship however we want, or eat whatever we want. Plenty of examples in Scripture of people trying to worship Father YAH how they wanted. It was never good. Just look at the golden calf, for one. Hope this helps in your understanding, my friend. Praying for you.
And יהוה commanded us to do all these laws, to fear יהוה our Elohim, for our good always, to keep us alive, as it is today. And it is righteousness for us when we guard to do all this command before יהוה our Elohim, as He has commanded us.’ Deḇarim (Deuteronomy) 6:24-25 TS2009
I stopped celebrating about 13 years ago when I found out the truth in the Bible. A lot of Bible study brought out a lot of Truth about pagan holidays.
They don't want to get it because of they do, they have to acknowledge that they're wrong and need to change. Most humans aren't welcoming to correction.
Thanks for the truth! We need more of it, we need to forsake idolatry. You may learn much if you would study about the Bible version issue. The NIV and all new versions come from Alexandria, Egypt which is to say, the Catholics, and I hear you that you want nothing to do with it. NIV also takes the blood out of Scripture. Study the KJV, as it is the word of God for the English-speaking people. Blessings
I just read in the bible about Christmas and it has nothing to do with god everything about Christmas goes against God's word and never did the bible say put up a tree and decorate it
Thank you for this video. Even the things that seem most innocent though, like cookies, caroling, gingerbread man, candy canes. They all too have roots in paganism. Every single tradition of Christmas is pulled from pagan's celebration. And Christ was not born during Saturnalia.
Psst ... 🙃 let's further cast the myth away from The Truth of Yeshua! 1. There were three gifts but no mention of the number of men. 2. And Yeshua was not an infant Strong's G1025 - βρέφος (brephos), but a child, Strong's G3813 παιδίον (paidion), when whatever number of men arrived from the East. I enjoyed the video. You have given me additional areas of the myth of Christmas to search out and debunk. Thank you!
Even though i'm jewish I wish I could ever celebrate christmas, I looked at christmas as the way you said you saw it as a kid. I wanted it so much but I never got it or gonna get it. I mean my dad only celebrated Hanukkah once which was just was 5 doller gifts each 8 days. So anyone who celebrate christmas must be pretty lucky.
Hufinner those of us who no longer celebrate feel more blessed now to stop celebrating it than I ever felt when I did celebrate it. Christmas is a curse to me now... it’s shoved down my throat everywhere I go. I get the songs stuck in my head, my children have to see the garbage about Santa... it drives me nuts. Every year at this time I cannot wait until January. Instead, I have SO MUCH JOY in celebrating my Messiah during all the Feasts of the Lord... our family LOVES Passover and Tabernacles. The day of Atonement and the day of Trumpets are holy and solemn reminders of the judgement coming and the holiness of our King. Nothing in pagan traditions re-purposed for our God can come CLOSE to worshipping Him in Spirit and in TRUTH!! ❤️
You take away the magic, the joy and the humanity of the beautiful Christmas season.....your anti Catholic skreed makes me think you are a neo Calvinist/Puritan....and believe me....there were reasons the Puritans were kicked out of England.....they were not fun people! St Nicholas is certainly no demon....he has over 1800 churches dedicated to him......and I rather think the Catholic mass is much more beautiful any improvised service you may attend....the Catholic church redeemed these days for Christ....
Christianity didn’t come to the north for many years later. Christianity started north of Israel. St. Nicholas was a Bishop from a town in Turkey- he helped the impoverished. Europe has a different approach than the commercial mentality of the USA. And religion is still pretty important in Central Europe. And by the way Christ wasn’t really born til March and about 6 BC. At the time of lambing and the time where multiple planets came in alignment which is what they thought was a star. Remember Christianity is not the only religion in the states- they are not wrong or herons - and have nothing to do with fires etc and have existed longer than Judaism or Christianity. Be careful - you could in turn be spreading more hatred than love at this time of year.
My Sister is Not spreading Hatered, she's spreading the Truth of Yeshua! Yeshua was Not born in March like your saying, He was born on the first day of Sukkot-Tabernacles which is in the Fall-Late September or Early October!
In Exodus 25:10, Moses receives the command to build an ark of acacia wood. Within this ark were to be placed the tables of the law which God was about to give to Moses. Upon the top of the ark, probably not as a lid but above the lid, was a golden plate upon which two cherubim, with raised wings and facing each other, covered the ark. From the place between the two cherubim God promises to speak to Moses, as often as He shall give him commands in reference to the Israelites. …. Also 1 Kings 6 Then he carved all the walls of the temple all around, both the inner and outer sanctuaries, with carved figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers. 30 And the floor of the temple he overlaid with gold, both the inner and outer sanctuaries. Numbers 21:8 The LORD said to Moses, "Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live." God made everything on Earth everything that is connected to God belongs to God If I choose to put up a tree on X-mass and it reminds me of my savior and the lights and ornaments to me means something good that has to do with God do not judge , pagans drank water are you going to stop drinking water your pride can blind be careful . It is faith that matters remember ...If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed (Mark 5:28). That's what she told herself, this nameless, bleeding woman who'd traveled 30 miles, fueled by nothing but faith. In Exodus 25:10, Moses receives the command to build an ark of acacia wood.

God made everything on Earth everything that is connected to God belongs to God If I choose to put up a tree on X-mass and it reminds me of my savior and the lights and ornaments to me means something good that has to do with God do not judge , pagans drank water are you going to stop drinking water your pride can blind be careful . It is faith that matters remember ...If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed (Mark 5:28). That's what she told herself, this nameless, bleeding woman who'd traveled 30 miles, fueled by nothing but faith. 2 Kings 13:20-21 says,Elisha died and was buried. Now Moabite raiders used to enter the country every spring. Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders; so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb.

Don’t you want to worship the Father the way He wants to be worshiped? True Faith is trusting His promises and doing what He says. Please read Deuteronomy 12.
Your Catholic Religion is a Falsehood and a Lie! I'm surprised that you even Quoted Scripture, because Most Catholic's don't know The Scriptures at All! And the reason they don't know is because their Catholic Priest's tell them not to read The Scriptures-Holy Bible! The Pope's of the Vatican are Evil and Wicked Men because they have Changed Yahweh Yeshua's Holy Scriptures-Laws! They have changed His True Shabbat to their Sun-god day-Sunday! They also changed His Holy Feast Days to their Pagan Feast Holidays! The True Yeshua of The Holy Scriptures was Born on His Holy Feast Day of Sukkot-Tabernacles! The False Jesus-Antichrist of the Vatican was born on the Pope's Pagan Feast Day of Christmas! The True Yeshua of The Holy Scriptures was put to Death on The Feast of Passover and was put in the Tomb-His Burial on The Feast of Unleavened Bread and was Resurrected from the Dead on The Feast of First Fruits! The False Jesus-Antichrist of the Vatican was Resurrected on the Pope's Pagan Feast Day of Easter-Ishtar-Asherah!
