     Noël est une fête païenne et tout savoir sur son origine.

     For billions of people around the world, the Christmas season is the time of year the most eagerly awaited. Of course, for many, Christmas is a depressing period, which accentuates their loneliness and family isolation. The Christmas season is the time when there is the greatest number of parties and receptions. But it is also the one that has the highest number of suicides.. 

    Christmas is a pagan holiday

    Millions more people are simply disgusted or offended by unreasonable commercialism associated with Christmas. Christmas has now become a commercial activity especially in the US - and Canada. For most retailers, Christmas sales are a very important part of their annual profit margins. Therefore, from the beginning of November, the traditional Christmas melodies resound in shopping centers in North America. Traders try to put people "in the mood" so that they start early to shop.

    Denouncing the commercial exploitation of this season - and deeply concerned about attempts undertaken to remove any reference to Adonai YHWH Elohim "God" and TANAKH "Bible" - many religious people, well meaning, require that the Messiah "Christ" is "rehabilitated" behind Christmas. They argue that secular hijacked a Christian holiday, sacred to individualistic purposes.

    Western society is increasingly described as "post-Christian", where the secular elites have become "the new pagans." In such an environment, Christians should they gang up to, in some way, take Christmas? In a society increasingly cut off from Adonai YHWH Elohim "God", can we bridge this gap by encouraging YAHUSHUA HA'MASHIAH references to "Jesus Christ" during the Christmas holidays?

    Adonai YHWH Elohim What attitude "God" -He wants His people to adopt vis-à-vis Christmas? YAHUSHUA HA'MASHIAH "Jesus Christ" is it really "the reason for these holidays"? You may be surprised to learn that Christmas has in fact no Christian or Messianic origin! Many centuries before the birth of YAHUSHUA HA'MASHIAH "Jesus Christ" in Bethlehem, people already decorated evergreen trees, exchanged gifts, and participating in festivals and well-watered receptions, 25 December .

    Christmas How did he become the main party "Christian"? Is this party - and can it be - truly Christian? Search in the New Testament, from the first to the last page, you will not find any mention of Christmas. Similarly, you will never read a religious service was held to commemorate the birth of Jesus.

    If the early Christians did not celebrate Christmas, what was the reason? When and how this festival has she acquired such importance in the calendar of the churches that call themselves Christian?

    People think all that Christmas is the most beautiful Christian holiday. Without asking any questions, they assume that it is necessary to celebrate. Today, they continue to assume that Jesus was born on December 25, and that the Bible emphasizes that date that Christians observe.

    THIS IS A DECEPTION! There are some facts that we need to be aware. Stop acting in ignorance, we who are supposed to represent his word to nation.

    The word "Christmas" comes from the Latin "natalis" which means "birth day". This word seems to us to designate a Catholic Mass celebrating the birth of Christ. But where do Catholics take it? ... From the pagan celebration of December 25th, the birthday of 'Sol', the sun god! The observation of this date was an ancient rite of Baalism - that the Bible condemns completely it is not mentioned in the New Testament, and neither the Apostle Paul nor the true church of the early days did. observed! This is one of the fables which Paul speaks in 2 Timothy 4: 4. He said that this custom deceive men of the world, wandering and making them follow a low Gospel without power!

    CHRISTMAS IS NOT AT ALL THE ANNIVERSARY OF CHRIST. This festival is not Christian or Messianic and Gentile but because it comes from Babylon. Some say, "So this is the intent of this time that counts?"

    Let's go a little further ...

    YAHUSHUA "JESUS" was not born on December 25, he was not born in the winter either. Why? Because there were shepherds in the fields keeping watch over their flocks by night (LUKE 2: 8). As of October 15, Israel, the shepherds brought back their herds mountains and fields and locked them to protect them from the cold and rain that prevailed after that date (see SONG OF SOLOMON 2:11 and Ezra 10: 9 , 13). Winter in Israel is a rainy season and the shepherds remained indoors during this period. It was customary for the Jews of the time to get their sheep in the fields and the desert around the Passover (early spring), and have them go back to the beginning of the first rains. The shepherds watching over their flocks day and night. Any encyclopedia will explain that HA'MASHIAH "Christ" was not born on December 25th; the date of his birth is not known. If Adonai YHWH Elohim "God" had wanted men to worship a Baby "Christmas", he would have instructions about this in his TANAKH "Speech" and would not have kept hidden that date.

    Most people overlook another important evidence. In Luke 1: 35-36, we learn that John the Baptist, born to Mary's cousin, Elizabeth, was about six months older YAHUSHUA "Jesus". We read that John's father, Zacharias, was an elderly priest who officiated in the temple; he burned incense on the altar when an angel appeared to him and told him that he and his wife have a son who would prepare the way for the Messiah (verses 8-17). We know approximately when the angel made ​​her announcement, because the Bible says that Zacharias was "of the course of Abia" (verse 5).

    What is the "course of Abia"? Centuries ago, in the time of King David, there was a large number of priests. King David divided them into twenty-four "classes" (or groups) to serve in the temple on a regular cycle (1 Chronicles 24: 1-9). The division of Abijah (or Abia) was the eighth of the twenty-four classes, and usually began its first week of service in late May As Pentecost, the second of three major periods of pilgrimage, fell the week after the eighth class service - and the twenty-four classes were gathered for the service during the three seasons of Day - Zechariah could not go home before, about the first week of June. If John the Baptist was conceived shortly after returning to the house of Zacharias, in mid-June, his birth took place nine months later - in mid-March. YAHUSHUA "Jesus", who was six months younger, would be born in mid-September. This, of course, while the shepherds were still in the fields by night over their flock (Luke 2: 8).

    Consider also the traditional image of the three wise men who, with the shepherds are usually represented standing in the barn, to celebrate the Messiah was born. Nowhere does the Bible say that there were three wise men, but it reveals that the Magi arrived at least a few weeks after his birth - as YAHUSHUA "Jesus" and his parents lived in a house (Matthew 2: 11) . We read that the Magi came from the East. In the 1st century, this usually meant that they were beyond the other side of the Euphrates (the eastern Roman Empire of the time border). To the east of the Euphrates was the Parthian Empire, home to many remnants of the ten tribes of Israel, who had been taken captive by the Assyrians, more than seven centuries ago. The Magi arrived at the king's palace in Jerusalem, a few weeks after the birth of YAHUSHUA "Jesus," to see the Messiah. They had seen a "star" mysterious Orient, who pushed them to undertake their journey in Judah. After hearing about the mages time the star had appeared, and what it portended, Herod ordered the massacre of all the boys in Jerusalem two years old and under (Matthew 2: 16).

    We know from Luke 2: 22 that YAHUSHUA parents "Jesus" presented at the temple when he was forty days (Leviticus 12: 2-4). So they were still in the Jerusalem area, when he was about six weeks. But, the family fled to Egypt after Joseph had been warned in a dream, soon after the visit of the Magi (Matthew 2: 13-14). It is evident that the Magi did not arrive just after the birth of MASHIAH "Christ".

     

           The origin of Christmas

    Did you know that Christmas celebrations were held in Rome, before that there have been in Jerusalem? How is it possible that a party in mostly associated with Jesus Christ of Nazareth, originated in Babylon and Egypt many centuries before His birth? And, how can such a party be so widely recognized as a Christian?

    To help us understand, consider the meaning of the word "Christmas", translated into French as "Christmas." "Christmas" means "Mass of Christ" or "Mass of Christ." This festival has its origins in the practices of the Roman Catholic Church. Yet even Catholic sources acknowledge that Christmas was not part of the first festivals of the Church, and has no apostolic origin. Notice: "Christmas [Christmas, that is to say the Mass of Christ] in the Christian Church, the feast of the nativity of Jesus Christ [...] at the end of the year 245, Origen, in eighth homily of Leviticus, rejected the idea of sinful observance of the anniversary of the birth of Christ "as if it were a king Pharaoh." The first official mention of the precise 25 December, in Roman history, dates from the year 354 AD. BC, which were published in full for the first time by Mommsen. [... December 25] was a party in honor of Mithra, according to the record mentioned above, but it was also the celebration of natalis solis invicti or the birthday of the unconquered sun "(Encyclopeadia Britannica, Eleventh Edition , article "Christmas". It is we who translate throughout this article).

    The New Testament clearly reveals some important dates; We read, for example, YAHUSHUA HA'MASHIAH "Jesus Christ" died the day of Passover. But the Scriptures do not mention the date of Jesus' birth, and did not say that Christians celebrated. In fact, the Bible associates the celebration of birthdays with the practices of heathen kings, and never refers to such celebrations as positive. Therefore, Origen - one of the first "Fathers" of the Roman Church, who wrote in the 3rd century - was shocked at the idea of celebrating the birth of the Savior.

    When the Catholic Church established a festival in honor of the birth of the Messiah, she arranged to have it coincide with an existing pagan festival which celebrated the birth of the sun god. By co-opting existing rituals and pagan customs, the Church believed rally the Gentiles to his vision of Christianity, allowing converts to continue to practice their ancient customs while renaming them with different names.

    The image of "mother and child" in religion was well known to the ancient pagan world. In ancient times, the Babylonians and Egyptians worshiped a "Madonna" whom they revered as the "Queen of Heaven" - a title that the Roman Church applied, centuries later to Mary, the mother of Jesus. In Egypt, Isis was the mother and Horus was the child. In Mesopotamia it was Ishtar and Tammuz.

    These stories go back to Semiramis and Nimrod in the years after the flood of Noah. Nimrod was a mighty hunter (Genesis 10-11), and led the rebellion against Adonai ELOHIM people YHWH "God" at the Tower of Babel. Nimrod was one of the principal architects of human civilization that began at Babylon, and spread throughout the world when people migrated to repopulate the earth after the flood.

    The true origin of Christmas goes back to ancient times, before being adopted by a "Christian" Church apostate. The winter solstice - the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere - was formerly associated with the birth of the sun god. It was a time of festivities. Called the Saturnalia by the Romans, this festival resembled astonishingly modern Christmas, which offered gifts. Cease hostilities, civil services were suspended and parties were organized. "Ordinarily, friends offer gifts to each other, all the rivalries stopped, there was no execution of criminals, schools were closed, we did not declare war, but does was that cheerfulness ruckus and debauchery "(Lempriere's Classical Dictionary, article:" Saturnalia ").

     Saint-Nicolas and Santa Claus

    Noël est une fête païenne et tout savoir sur son origine.They too are of pagan origin. "Saint Nicolas" is named after a Catholic bishop who lived in the fifth century. Saint Nicolas was bishop of Myra, it was a "Saint" honored by the Greeks and Latins on December 6th. It is said that a legend, that he secretly gave dowries to the three daughters of a citizen became poor, is the origin of the custom of offering gifts in secret, the night of the Saint-Nicolas (the Dec. 6). The invention of "Santa" is inspired by Saint Nicolas, hence the confusion between the dates of their celebration.

     

     

     The Christmas tree

    Noël est une fête païenne et tout savoir sur son origine.It would be good on this point, see what the Bible says about Christmas trees.

    "Thus says the Lord YHWH: Do not learn the way of the heathen ... For the customs of the peoples are vanity, cut wood in the forest; the hand of the workman, with the ax; They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not "JEREMIAH 10: 2-4.

    Note that we are told not to follow that path or follow these customs.

     Christmas gifts

    The season of Christmas shopping seems to be the most important part of the Christmas celebration. Many say, "Well, the Bible tells us to give gifts they have not the wise men presented gifts when Christ was born.?"

    ? WHAT IS THE ORIGIN HISTORY CHRISTMAS GIFTS custom compare today with what the Bible says:

    Exchanging gifts between friends is a characteristic of both the Saturnalia and Christmas holiday season (which is transmitted from one to the other). Exchanging gifts during the Christmas period is a Christian thing. This does not celebrate the anniversary of MASHIAH "Christ" nor the honors!

    Suppose you want to honor someone on their birthday. Would you buy gifts for everyone, except for the one you célèbreriez birthday?

    Yet that is what the people year after year (supposedly with religious intentions) year after year. MESSIAH "Christ" is not honored at all, and most people only offer gifts to their friends or their family members. People are too busy to think of YAHUSHUA HA'MASHIAH "Jesus Christ."

    The Bible says YAHUSHUA 'Jesus' being born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, Where is the King of the Jews that is born ... They entered? in the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, they bowed down and worshiped him; Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh "MATTHEW. 2: 1-11

    Seeing that they asked the child YAHUSHUA "Jesus" who was born King of the Jews, and that they offered gifts only YAHUSHUA "Jesus", not their friends or one another. They came to honor their King.

    Also, we should realize that there is no biblical basis justifying the celebration of Christmas. Christmas is a pagan holiday, and commercial. 

    Mothers take their children to see "Santa Claus" heathens in stores; families come together to celebrate a festival that was established centuries BC by a heathen people - WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST?

    People are prisoners of the materialism of today's world, deceived by the enemies of our Elohim "god" they worship idols. Much of the collapse of the current world order is that the nations love another Elohim "God", after another MESSIAH "Jesus" and proclaim a "gospel" that we do not find in the Word Adonai YHWH Elohim of "God."

    What difference does it make?

    Noël est une fête païenne et tout savoir sur son origine.

    Almost every year, newspapers and magazines publish articles that point out that Christmas customs are not from the Bible, but from pagan antiquity. Most readers, faced with this reality, just say, "We do not see what difference it makes," and they are continuing their Christmas preparations. Millions of professing Christians say they celebrate the festival in honor of Christ, regardless of the origin of pagan practices behind Christmas.

    Does this make Christmas pleasing to God?

    There are several centuries, Scripture became widely available when the Protestant believers threw off the shackles of medieval Roman Church, which had a monopoly on the Bible. Students eager to discover the Bible decelerate many contradictions by comparing the beliefs of the time with the divine word. One of these issues concerned the Christmas celebration. What conclusion they reached? According to the eleventh edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica: "In 1644, the English Puritans banned all celebrations or religious services [Christmas] by order of Parliament, the pretext that it was a pagan festival" (article: " Christmas "). When King Charles II restored the monarchy, this ban was lifted, but it was kept in a large number of colonies in North America. It was only in 1840 that Christmas was admitted as a holiday in Massachusetts.

    Ask yourself this simple question. Those who claim to be Christians should they take the Bible seriously? In Jeremiah 10: 2, Adonai YHWH Elohim "God" says to His people, from the pen of the prophet: "Learn not the way of the nations [or Gentiles]. "He continues by stating that" the customs of the peoples are vanity ", ie they are completely empty and useless. Adonai YHWH Elohim" God "wants His people to follow His instructions, and he turns away from pagan practices without seek to emulate them. What kind of customs, vain and pagan, are we talking about in Jeremiah 10? The example specifically mentioned in this chapter concerns the custom of cutting a tree, bring it in the house, to hold it up and decorate it (verses 3-4). That does he not look like strangely a Christmas tree?

    YAHUSHUA "Jesus" said, "In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Mark 7: 7). Those who wish to celebrate Christmas to worship YAHUSHUA "Christ" are faced with a dilemma: should they follow the example of worship prescribed in Scripture, or should they remain attached to these beloved customs, regardless of their origin and nature? YAHUSHUA "Jesus" rebuked many religious leaders of His day, because they rejected the commandments of Adonai YHWH Elohim "God" for the benefit of their own traditions (verse 9).

    YAHUSHUA "Jesus" could He say those same words to your subject, Based on your actions and choices?

    When the ancient Israelites were about to enter the Promised Land, they were warned not to adopt the religious customs of the surrounding nations (Deuteronomy 12: 30-21). Adonai YHWH Elohim "God" told them to observe all the things that He had taught them, without adding or deleting His instructions (verse 32).

    Therefore, instead of seeking to associate the Messiah "Christ" in Christmas, we should admit that he has never been associated! Christmas has never been a Christian holiday! True Christians must return it to the Gentiles, after all, Christmas is theirs! Instead take them to the world around us, we should learn our customs and religious practices of the Bible. In doing so, we will worship our Creator in spirit and in truth, as We recommend doing this (John 4: 24).
