This video, titled “Christmas: Built on a Lie and Surrounded by Paganism,” argues that celebrating Christmas is wrong for Christians because it is founded on falsehoods and pagan traditions (35:08-35:23).
Key points from the speaker include:
- Worship in Truth The speaker emphasizes that God demands to be worshipped in spirit and in truth, citing John 4:24 (38:53-39:00). He argues that participating in a holiday based on lies goes against this principle (39:56-40:14).
- Unknown Birth Date of Jesus The video asserts that the Bible does not specify when Jesus was born (49:09-49:16, 1:04:01-1:04:03). The speaker points out that Herod’s killing of children two years old and under in Bethlehem indicates that even during that time, Jesus’ exact birth date was unknown (47:29-47:50, 48:32-48:35).
- Origin of December 25th The speaker explains that December 25th has no connection to Jesus’ actual birth (49:46-49:48). According to historical sources like the World Book Encyclopedia, Bishop Liberius of Rome ordered people to celebrate on this date in 354 AD (1:06:06-1:06:26).
- God’s Dislike of Lying Citing Proverbs 6:16-17, the speaker highlights that God explicitly hates lying and false witness (59:22-1:00:02). This reinforces the argument against celebrating a holiday built on untruths.
- Call for Accountability The speaker challenges Christian pastors to denounce the lie that Jesus was born on December 25th and lead their congregations away from this deception (1:01:01-1:01:10, 1:01:18-1:01:27).
- Family Resistance The video acknowledges that individuals may face resistance from family memberswhen they choose to abandon these traditions for biblical truth (42:47-42:55), referencing Luke 14:25-27.
- Misinformation in Carols Christmas carols like “God Rest You Merry Gentlemen” and “Christ was born on Christmas Day” are presented as examples of how the false narrative of Jesus’ birth on December 25th is perpetuated (53:58-54:33, 55:13-55:36).
