How can people celebrate and/or commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25th, when it is not recorded in the Bible? The apostles and early church never observed any such Holy day. What is the significance of the date December 25th? Jesus Christ was not born on December 25, so who or what is it about? Where do all of the vain customs arise from? HOW / WHY DO CHRIST-HATING LOST PEOPLE LOVE THE “SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS”? Has God ever instructed His children to use any pagan traditions in the worship or observation of His Son Jesus Christ? Has God ever told us NOT to utelize pagan customs for any reason? Is worshipping God some trivial matter with which we can invent new practices to suit our own whims? Are we to take pagan things and “make them” Christian? Are we at liberty to observe whatever traditions or customs we like? Does it matter to God? Does the will of Christ govern worship, or does the will of man?

Thank you for Truth. Christmas is a Pagan holiday. The time of year, and the ceremonies with which it is still celebrated, prove its origin. “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32 KJV). God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24 KJV).
Before the Christian era, December 25th, around the time of the winter solstice, a pagan festival was celebrated among the heathen in Babel in honor of the birth of the illegitimate son of the Babylonian queen. This pagan festival involved the worship of a pagan/counterfeit Trinity:
(Nimrod= Sun god = Father)
(Semiramis =Moon god = The great Mother goddess /queen of heaven)
(Tammuz = reincarnated sun god= son).
During the time of Nimrod and Babel (Genesis 10-11 KJV), Nimrod started the great organized worldly apostacy from God that continues to dominate the world today. According to ancient history & tradition, Nimrod married his own mother whose name was Semiramis and together they established the first claims of deity among the people living in the land of Shinar/Babylon. They established the city of Babel, the center of world government and the foremost location of idolatry, prostitution, licentiousness. They started a religion of sun-worship that led people away from the true God, the Creator, to serve and worship the creature/creation (Deuteronomy 4:15-19 KJV) (Romans 1:17-32 KJV). Nimrod and Semiramis reigned only a few centuries after the flood. Shem the son of Noah, Abraham and Job were also living at this time and maintained the knowledge of the one true God and his promise of a redeemer (Genesis 3:15 KJV)(Job 19:25-27 KJV). It is believed that Nimrod met a violent death when Shem placed a bounty on his life. Nimrod was killed “cut down” and his dead body was cut in pieces & the dismembered parts were sent to various cities as a warning to others. This practice is described in the Bible (Judges 19:29 KJV)(Samuel 11:7 KJV). After the death of Nimrod, Semiramis made their religion more secretive and mysterious.
Following Nimrod’s death, in order to secure her reign as queen of Babel, Semiramis devised a way of keeping the Spirit of Nimrod alive. She had already deified Nimrod as Baal (meaning Lord or husband)/the Sun god but needed Nimrod to return to the people. In life her husband had been honored as a hero; in death she would have him worshipped as a god.
Semiramis consulted her astrologers who told her that the sun dies on December 21st (the shortest day of the year) but then begins to come back to life again on the eve of December 24th as the days begin to grow longer and makes its full rebirth on December 25th. Semiramis then told the people this was the birthday of Nimrod/Baal/ the Sun god. In paganism, this is known as the “winter solstice” (Deuteronomy 4:19 KJV)(Deuteronomy 17:2-6 KJV)
Using astrology as her guide, Semiramis became pregnant around March 25 (9 months from December 25th) and then she concocted a legend for the people of Babel telling them that on December 21st, Nimrod dies each year, but then on December 25th, Nimrod is reincarnated as the Sun god. The evil practice of believing a pagan god would be resurrected from the dead by weeping, mourning, lamenting is referred to in (Numbers 25:6 KJV) (Ezekiel 8:14 KJV) and began with Nimrod, Semiramis and Tammuz.
Semiramis told the people of Babel that she had become the goddess of the moon and sky and that Nimrod was being reincarnated in her womb as Baal the Sun god on December 25th. She told the people that Nimrod had impregnated her with the rays of the sun supernaturally and Nimrod reincarnated himself as her new son Tammuz on December 25th.
Each year on Tammuz’s birthday (December 25th), the pagans were ordered by Semiramis to go into the groves/forest (Deuteronomy 12:1-3; 16:21-22 KJV)(Judges 3:7; 6:25-30 KJV) and “cut down” a tree in honor of the death of Nimrod and take the tree into their homes and decorate it with silver and gold balls to symbolizing Nimrod’s rebirth as Tammuz. This evil practice is described in the Bible (Jeremiah 10 KJV).
The religion of Babel involved worshipping a Mother goddess (queen of heaven) (Jeremiah 7:9,16-18 KJV) & Jeremiah 44 KJV) and son represented in pictures, images, art work as an infant or child in his mother’s arms. This ancient pagan religion spread throughout the earth when the Tower of Babel was destroyed and God confounded the languages and scattered the people across the earth (Genesis 11 KJV).
This was the beginning of polytheism, with a father god, mother goddess, and illegitimate child (son) religion which gave rise to the various figures & names of deity across the ancient civilizations/cultures/mythologies. In Egypt -(Osiris)(Isis)(Horus). In Babylon – (Belus) (Ishtar)(Tammuz). In Assyria – (Ninus)(Beltis)(Hercules). In Lebanon – (Baal)(Ashtoreth)(Tammuz). In Phoenicia – (El) (Astarte)(Bacchus). In Greece – (Zeus)(Aphrodite)(Dionysus). In Rome- (Jupiter)(Diana)(Apollo). Nordic – (Odin)(Joro)(Thor). Hindu – (Vishnu)(Chandra)(Krishna). Catholic – (God the Father)(Virgin Mary/ Queen of Heaven)(Jesus). (Judges 2:10-14 KJV) (Judges 10:6-7 KJV).
In 325 AD, when Constantine became Emperor of Rome and the head of the newly formed Roman Catholic Church the celebration of December 25th and the winter solstice was changed from that of Tammuz to Jesus, but all the traditions and festivities of Tammuz remained intact.
Celebrating Christmas was a crime in the early years of the American colonies. After the revivals in the 20th century, Christmas and pagan traditions hardly existed as late as the 1890’s. But as the Roman Catholic Church began to grow in the United States, paganism began to creep into all the churches until it became the near total apostacy we have today. The church in Europe and North America has not only become involved in idolatry itself, but through its missionaries in the last 100 years, it has been exported to all nations of the earth. Thus, the description by (Hosea 4:1-6 KJV) is prevailing in all nations. The pagan customs become larger and more expensive every year as various forms of media are used to seduce the people.
