Christmas is a pagan holiday not a Biblical Christian or Hebrew holiday

Jeremiah describes a Pagan Custom very similar to Christmas​

In the following passage, Jeremiah describes a pagan custom that is very similar to Christmas in terms of its customs.

Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. (Jeremiah 10:2-4)

In other words, decorating Christmas trees is pagan and not biblical.

Christmas is a Pagan Holiday​

The winter solstice is and was one of the most celebrated holidays for countless pagan cultures around the world. So it is no wonder that December 25th is actually not the birthday of Jesus, but the holiday of the pagan sun god Sol. December 21st, which fell on the same day before the calendar change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar, was the highest day in the pagan cult of Mithras, which was in full bloom at the time of early Christianity. Other customs that were adopted from the Mithraism are still prevalent in the Catholic Church today, including the Christmas customs.

List of other Pagan Holidays that fall on Christmas​

Yule Festival, December 21st, old calendar – Northern European festival

Birthday of Horus (Egyptian god), December 21, old calendar – Egyptian festival

Wendling, December 24th – 26th – Franconian-Elbe-Germanic festival

Birthday of Tammuz (Babylonian god), December 25th – Babylonian festival

Birthday of Mithras, December 25th – Feast of Mithras cult

Holiday of Sol Invictus (Roman sun god), December 25th – Roman festival

Rauhnächte, December 24th – 26th – pagan festival (the Christian church later formed the Christmas festival from this)

The Catholic Church has set Christmas on a Pagan Holiday Date to convince the Pagans​

The Catholic Church itself has admitted that they set Jesus’ birthday on the feast of the cult of Mithra in order to convince the pagans of Christianity. And that’s just one of the many examples of this practice. That the actions of the Catholic Church have so ensured that paganism continues to exist in all facets of our society, contradicts the words of God commanded in the Bible.

The biblical Holidays that God commanded can be found in the Bible​

Now some of you will be wondering which holidays they should celebrate now. The Bible also gives a clear answer to this. In Leviticus 23 God commanded the Israelites which festivals they should celebrate. It should be pointed out that there is no trace of Christmas or even Easter to be found. Therefore, these holidays are not biblical.

The Sabbath (Leviticus 23:3)

The Passover (Leviticus 23:5-8)

The Feast of the Sheaf of First Fruits (Leviticus 23:10-14)

The Feast of Weeks – Shavuot (Leviticus 23:15-22)

The Feast of Trumpets – Rosh Hashanah (Leviticus 23:23-25)

The Day of Atonement – Yom Kippur (Leviticus 23:27-32)

The Feast of Tabernacles – Sukkot (Leviticus 23:33-43)

The early Christians did not celebrate Christmas, but the biblical Holidays​

Even the early Christians did not celebrate Christmas, but rather the holidays that God had commanded them. And even Jesus himself celebrated the Jewish holidays.

Now the Jew’s feast of tabernacles was at hand. […] But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. (John 7:2,10)

Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. (Matthew 26:17-20)

After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. (John 5:1)

Contrary to what many people teach, Paul kept the Jewish holidays as well. See what the Bible says:

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (1 Corinthians 5:7-8)

When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not; But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus. (Acts 18:20-21)

Holidays like Pentecost, which are described in the Bible, are only modifications of the holidays that God commanded the Israelites. They also fall on the same date. This was also only an attempt by the church to distance itself from Judaism and to please the pagans.

Conclusion: Christmas is a Pagan Holiday and not biblical​

In fact, there is not a single passage in the entire Bible where God tells people to celebrate Christmas. There is also no Bible passage that can be used to prove that Israelites or Christians celebrated Christmas. However, there is plenty of evidence that Jesus and the early Christians celebrated the biblical holidays of Leviticus 23, and therefore, we should follow their example. In fact, the prophets had already foretold that the Gentiles would celebrate the holidays and act according to the statutes of the Israelites. After all, Christmas remains a Pagan Holiday.

And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. (Zechariah 14:16-17)

And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. (Micah 4:2)

For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. (Isaiah 66:22-24)

Christmas is a Pagan Holiday and not biblical!

Christmas falls on the holiday of the false pagan god Sol Invictus. Jesus was actually not born on the 25th of December.

Christmas falls on the holiday of the false pagan god Sol Invictus. Jesus was actually not born on the 25th of December.

The fact of the truth of God is that He sent His only Son to earth to die for us and to open the gates of heaven so we can enter in. Jesus said. I am the Door. Jesus never ever said we should follow rituals of the church made my humans who are sinners in need of a Savior themselves. So, do not worry about being pagan or not, all you have to do is to read Gods word and obey what it says. Follow peace with all men and holiness without which no one shall see the Lord.

In other words, decorating Christmas trees is pagan and not biblical.

Jeremiah was not talking about Christmas trees. He was talking about how the pagans created idols by using wood - that comes from the tree.

You are using and copying the Jehovah Witness's teachings surrounding theological history, contextual language and modern day Christian holidays like Christmas. Christmas is a event to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, not to literally mark the birth of Jesus Christ.

Do not sow division in the Christian community by telling us to celebrate the Jewish holidays, to follow the 400+ laws (food, customs, clothing and so on) of the Old Testament. Jesus lived a perfect life, followed laws that we cannot follow, and died a perfect death, suffered a perfect resurrection for our sake! Not that we may become slaves of the law, but slaves of Christ.

Praise God, not the work you do!

Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved. Do not believe in human theories and stories made up by themselves. Believe in the wonderful promises Jesus our dear Messiah who said. I am going to prepare a place for you, that where I am there you may be also.
