How many people know the roots of Christmas?

Most religious organizations continue to misguide their flock by spreading senseless rumour about Christmas.

 

Some theologians argue that Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Is there any truth to this claim?

Jesus Christ was definitely not born on the 25^th of December.

The proof is right there in the scripture at Luke 2: 8-20.

Shepherds did not live outdoors with their sheep in winter conditions.

Historical information agrees with this point.

 

The Apostles of the first century CE never observed Jesus’ birth.

Christmas is not even mentioned in the Bible.

Jesus commanded his followers to commemorate his death.

At no time did he mention anything about his birth.

If Jesus wanted people to observe his birthday,

Why did he not tell them to do so?

I welcome anyone who wishes to refute my argument.

 

This is for honest hearted persons who want to know the truth.

“The cow jumped over the moon.”

 

We learn about Jesus Christ in the Bible.

Does the Bible teach about Santa Claus, elves, and reindeer in the sky?

Absolutely not!

These are mythical characters.

And they use the Christmas tree to decorate the deception.

 

A line from a well-known Christmas choral says,

“Give love on Christmas day.”

No wonder the private sector capitalizes from their ignorance.

These are unpopular expressions.

Likewise, the truth about Christmas is unpopular.
