Introduction Let us have a fellowship of those who unite on a level above the differences that divide men as to theories aobout super-human or super-natural matters. Fahame Islam culture develops powers and leadership. The Black Man has to make a home for himself. He has been converting or changing from the natural man of the jungle and the hut. He has been transforming into a white man. Our new time and adopted creed ahs failed to unite or cultivte us. the sociey of a people is their religion. We beed a culture built upon the foubndation of our anient civiliztion which still remains intact. The new is merly a rebirth of the old. The time setting for Amos Chapter 5 is just before the day of the Lord.
Then the Lord Jesus Christ reveals
one of the reasons why the The Lord Jesus Christ would not let ancient Israel serve him by observing other practices that were to Pagan Gods. He sent them into national captivity. He caused the first generation of adults who came out of Egpyt to die in the wilderness because of serving other Gods in his name. |

The word Christmas means "Mass of Christ". It was handed to the Christian professing world, by the Roman Catholic Churh. The "Mass of Christ" celebrates his death, not his birth. How do Catholics explain the opposite meaning? They don't. That's another part of Satan's clever deception. He calls it the birth when the word means the opposite — death. The Christian celebration is never fond in the bible rather it gravitated into the Roman Church from Paganism. From the Catholic 1911 edition, article "Christmas", we read that Christmas was not amounf the earliest festivals of the Church. The first evidence of the feast is from Egypt. Pagan customs centering around Januarary gravitate to Christmas. under the article "National Day Origin", a catholic father stated, "In the scriptures, no one is recorded to have kept a feast or held a great banquet on his birthday. It is only the sinners (like Pharoah and Herod) who make great rejoicing over the day in which they were born into this world" The Encyclopedia Brittanica, 1946 Edition says Christmas (i.e. the mass of Christ) was not among the earliest festivals in the church. Neither Jesus (Peace and blessings upon him) nor the apostles ever instituted this celebration. It came hundres of years later from Paganism. Christmas...it was according to many authorities not celebrated in the first century of the Christian churches, The Christian usage in general was to celebrate the death of remarkable persons rather than their birth... "The Passover is the celebration or memorial of the death of Christ" Encyclopedia Americanan, 1949 Edition. A feast was established in memory of the event Christ's birth in the fourth century). In the fifth century the Western Church ordered it to be celebrated forever on the day f the old Roman feast of the birth of Sol, as no certain knowledge of the day of Christ's birth existed. Christmas was never celebrated in the true church of God, rather instituted on the same day as the old feast of woship of Sol, the Sun-God. December 25th is not the birthday of Jesus Christ. |

Jesus could not have been born in the winter season. Here's why: "There were in the same country shepherds abiding the field, keeping watch over their flock by night: (Luke 2:8) The winter in Palestine is in December equivalent to the United States. The shepherds always brought their flocks in and corralled them by the miffle to the end of October, at the latest. "For lo, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone" (Solomon's Song 2:11) Winter was the rainy season, and would have been impossible for the shepherds to have remained outside in the cold wet climate. "But the people are many and it is a time of much rain." (Ezra 10:9-13) |

If the Roman Catholic Church adopted christmas from pagainsm, where did they get it? The Bible reveals a system called Babylon. This system started immediatly after the flood with the building og the first world governent under Nimrod. Nimrod was the grandson of Ham and the greatgrandson of Noah. During the fourth and fifth centuries, as pagans were turning to Christianity, they simply transferred the naes to Christian-sounding ones. The Madonna became very popular on December 25th each year. These are strong statements to indict the modern Christian community of using Paganism to worhip Jesu Christ? He said in Jeremiah 10:-4, that we were not to do so. He is a jealous God, and will not permit idolatry in his name.

There is an almost universal use of pictures or statues of a mother and asmall baby by those who celebrate Christmas. Believers in Jesus and non believers alike send acards with htese pictures and plae a "manger" display on their lawns or in businesses. Town governent bodies erect them on public property wees before December 25th. When they realized Paul's (Jesus' Disciple) teachings would destrou their business, jsut as the truth aout Christmas and about the Madonna and child would destou their businesses today. If it had not been for the intervention of a town clerk, these "Mther-god" worshippers might have killed Paul (see Acts 19:22-41) Turn from Christmas today and see what ridicule you receive?

Mistletoe was used at the winter solstice celeration because theythought it was acred to the sun. It supposedly had healing powers; kissing uder the mistletoe celebrates the death of the old sun and the birth of the new sun. Holly berries were looked upon as sacred to the sun-god. Yule means wheel, appagan symbol of the sun. Why do Christians call christmas the "sacred yuletide season"? Even the lighting of fires and candles as a Christian ceremony is a Pagan custom, encouragin the waning sun - god as he reached the lowest place in the southern skies. The Enclyclopedia Americana states: The holly. the mistletoe, the yule log are relics of pre-christian times. |

Santa Claus is that jolly old felloe who comes once a year to do good by bringing toys and games to "good little children". But is that all there is to Santa Claus? NO. The similarity to Santa Claus can be seen in the long flowing white beard, the ornate dess, the reindeer, the fir tree and the wings giving him pwer to fly thrugh the air, Nimrod: The writers of the New Testament warned Christians about partaking of things offered to idols in Acts 15:20, Acts 21:25, I cornithians 10 :28 and Revelations 2:14-20. But I say that the thing which the Gentiles sacrigice things that thy sacrificed to the Devil and not to God. "And I would not that ye should have fellowhsip with devils, ye cannot be partakers of the Lords' table and of the table of devils" (I Corinthinas 10:20-21) The Christmas tree and gifts are but the modern version of the Pagan cusom of offering gifts to idols. It is the cup of devils. It is not Chirstian. The Christian world did not commermorate the birth of Jesus until the 5th cnetury accourding to Dr. Arnold Tilden, Profesor of History at Arizona State University. CHirstians considered it to be a Pagan practice ti ceelbrate birthdays...actually, it was the death-day which was celebrated and most of the Saints' days on the claenday mark the day on which they died. |

The modern Christmas stories tell of "three wise men" who came to the baby Jesus while in a manger, giving gifts. The story is always wtisted awy fromthe truth. Not once is the number of wise men mentioned in the Bible. Also, the Bible staes that they came to him in a house and when they were coming into the house, they saw the young child with Mary, his mother and fell down and worshippd him (Matthw=ew 2:11) By the time they came, Juses was walking and talking. They arrived two years after his birth. They were questioned by King Herod as to "What time the star appeared (verse 7) herod wanted to kill Jesus, who was considered a threat to his throne. Herod sent forth and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem and in all the ocst therof. From two years old and under according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men (v16) |
