He lives in Christmas no more, we can sing The songs we can put up decorations we can go to Church we can hear sermons as In The temple when The Glory of GOD, The Shekinah Glory departed from The Temple. Similar it seems. But he cannot stop Reigning in each individuals heart and mind, in that we can give praise.

But look at the television sets, look at office parties, but look in the stories and malls he lives not their, look in the bars and taverns, look at the Christmas shows, look into windows of homes, look at the makeup of homes and houses, look at them , many calls it love, is That the examples and the manifestation of The Glory of GOD? Strange as it is "this is How we celebrate "The birth of Christ" look around, I am ashamed at what we do. even I cannot form the very words of what we do in the name of Jesus. And then say thank you and gather around and say "grace"before we eat. I am ashamed what we do. For it pains my soul and makes me bow within my being and cannot find words.


Amos 5
Berean Standard Bible
“I hate, I despise your feasts! I cannot stand the stench of your solemn assemblies.
King James Bible
I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

Isaiah 1:14
14I hate your New Moons and your appointed feasts. They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them. 15When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you multiply your prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.

The sound of "JOY TO The WORLD" is gone and never to return again.
The Shekinah Glory has departed from This World within The Christmas air. and will not come back until It appears Riding a White Horse and The Armies of GOD are following.

PloughBoy, even when I wanted to sing "Silent Night" in the high school winter concert, they refused to join me in the Bleacher of The High school Gym and "Intermission" and my own family turn against me, It might offend the jews, The Arabs, The Chinese, The Atheist, that I was offending them, Just one "Stanza" and they all Frown on me, "WHITE, Black, Olive, and yellow. and my own family. I could not even mention the name "Jesus" it was a Crime, supported by "Christians" to not offend, but to show love for the people. But I song it anyhow, by myself. I did not need a christian! I got GOD in my SOUL!


I am a "CHILD of THE LIVING GOD" and I am not afraid or ashamed to speak on his Name, A Criminal I am in these USA. Help me LORD.
I am Strange even Among my own people.

I am PloughBOY, and I am standing alone.

I never in all my life ever went to a kindergartner's class or in a church building, LEARN songs OF CHRISTMAS. My mother taught me christians songs even "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer' by Gene Autry of Columbia label 78 records. Before I went to a school or a church.

And when we song, we song them all in one sittings. one song after another all night. Me and my Mother and then 5 years latter my Brother Came and join in Laughing, I remember him laughing at us with no Teeth in his mouth. I am five years older than him. and he have never had the time to sit down and listen to the stories I remember. and when my father died in 2006, he told me he never knew Dad, I said what do you mean you did not know Daddy, and you are "PASTOR" I thought, you was close to him too! He always talk to me about you, I talked to my parents every day of my life! me and my father work together over 10 years and he even worked for me when he retired. How can you be a Pastor and do not know your own Father. How can that be and your Father knows you!

1. joy to the world
2.Silent night
3.O llitle town of Bethlehem
4.I saw mama kissing Santa Claus
5. Away in The Manger
6.The Light of The world
7.O come all ye faithful
8. Angels we have heard on high
9. The little drummer Boy
10. The First Noel
11. Hark the Herald angels sing
12.Go tell it on the mountain
13. O holy Night

I cannot remember anymore I am old, we did not go to church and be entertained, we song at home! my mother taught me all of these songs her mother taught her in the back woods of Mississippi, no electric lights no inside plumbing and a outhouse and tin roof that leaked water on raining days and my grand mother could not read, because it was crime for a black person to read!

Christians going to church to be entertain calling it worshipping together in the name of JESUS! the world of christianity is messed UP! Big Time. and all of these women going to work and don't even know How to make Home made "APPLE PIE" and Corn Bread and dry beans! and a "Blackberry Cobbler" is completely out of the question! And these churches talking about "The mother of the Year" Oh, she is a good godly mother just because she has a very important job making big money in big companies and professional jobs, but no regard to those the devil have greatly attacked.

And I Know The Devil Have Made It Very Hard For The Majority Of Mothers And Women, But Hold on Until The End, God Will Make It All Up To You. OH YES HE WILL.

So be not be discourage during this holiday season. For Christ Is The Greatest Gift any could ever have. For it is The only Perfect Gift that comes down from the FATHER of LIGHTS

"Merry Christmas to all of My Sisters in Christ JESUS"



"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."

' In this was manifested the love of God toward us,
because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world,

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us,
and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.'

Hello @PloughBoy,

I know there are words that you do not like using, and the word, 'Christmas', is one that I do not like to use. For it has nothing to do with the Lord Jesus Christ. He may have been conceived at that time of year, but it is not the date of His birth. It is far more likely that He came into the world on the first day of the feast of Tabernacles, for He had come to tabernacle among men, and that feast would have provided an appropriate point on which to celebrate that fact. That is my 'feeling' only. If in fact He did come into the world at the beginning of that Feast, it would have been something His countrymen would have related to surely.

If my thoughts are way out of line, perhaps you will correct me.

Thank you.
Within the love of Christ our Saviour,
our Lord and Head.
Chris

I will second that motion.
The only reason that that date has been attached to the birth of Jesus was to secure the continuation of the Mithraistic love fests that took place for the week in which was the winter
solstice. They got to keep their gift giving and debauchery tradition, only now it was called something else. The world has Constantine and the early Catholic Church for the lie that has
continued until this day. Although Constantine was under tremendous pressure to choose a religion of the state either Mithraism or Christianity, he chose Christianity but mingled in the
festivals of the other, thereby polluting Christianity.
Last thought on this subject, IF god wanted us to know the exact date He would have put it in the Bible. Second, why is there never a birthday celebration for Jesus mentioned in the
Bible with the exception of His initial day of birth? Over a 60-65 yr period after His death?
Thirdly, His resurrection and taking away our sin is the thing we are to celebrate and which we are to believe. As that is what is required to receive life.

Hello @Samson2020,

In relation to your last paragraph where you refer to the things which we are not told I think of the words of the Apostle John in relation to his own gospel record:-

'And many other signs truly did Jesus
In the presence of His disciples
Which are not written in this book:
But these are written,
That ye might believe
That Jesus is the Christ
The Son of God;
And that believing
Ye might have life
Through His Name.'
(John 20:30-31)

Praise God! For what He has revealed, and
Praise God! For what He has NOT revealed.
Praise God! For His wisdom.
Praise His Holy Name!!

Thank you.
In Christ Jesus
Chris

it is common knowledge that the birth of Jesus was around "March 4-6 AD" unless there have been new findings since I studied it around 1979. {The Life of Christ] a elective. So many things have change. even many have said that The "Holy Spirit" is a woman within "christian circles" and Jesus has not rose from the grave is very popular for a long time now, And the Bible translations change so much now and pretty soon, some "copyrights" will be completely destroyed.:relieved: At one time the "holy scriptures" was known and told by The "Elders" The fathers and not by a books, nor Parchments the stories was pass down by The head of Families even the Grandfathers, they could not read, So as they woke in the mornings they told the stories as they walked they recited by memory as they worked they recited by memory at noon in the evening and then at night, this how they remember GODs word then they stop doing this because they mingled with the surrounded nations and pick up their ways, the Bible is not to be taught by churches that is doctrine of man, we are to speak to our children day and night tell the writings by memory, by speaking all the time you learn by heart The Book, and they do by listen to you tell the stories every day and night. The Word becomes a part of them. "Word for Word". You teach them what the Word says you do not interpret it. Interpretations are not the WORDs of GOD.The Word of GOD is The WORD of God not anyones Interpretations is The Word of GOD.

But it is not like that, For men have sought out many devices and they, the institutional has "FAILED" and crumbling in the dust because not obeying "The WORD of GOD' and Have establish their own ways. So it has Been "prophesied":relieved: Now, every thing is right According to How God has said how it will be. No different from how they Tortured "The Son of GOD and they thought they could destroy him, but it was Victory, so did they do him so have and will they do us

Deuteronomy 11 BSB
"Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, speaking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road,when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates,…" ( I did this, they said I was wrong" the church.)

Deuteronomy 6 BSB
…"These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts. 7And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.…"

You got to bring them to church! and do what we say do, if you dont you will be curse with curse and bring your money here!:eyes: do like the pastor say! "WORLD WIDE TEACHINGS" obey us! This is GOD HOUSE! and tell the people to come into my house then we will preach to them!

Proverbs 22
…"Thorns and snares lie on the path of the perverse; he who guards his soul stays far from them. Train up a child in the way he should go,and when he is old he will not depart from it.7The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender."

Must parents only trained them to go to church! and be nice and nothing like GOD told them them how to train them.:relieved: simple.

Note:
I remember for "EASTER Sundays" it was about "EASTER SPEECHES" for Kids, you had to learn Bible verses by heart every year. They got Longer and longer, as you got older they taught you , your Parents how to do "interpreted reading". when you read it sound like singing! Your being and soul was in it.

Every Christmas the Christmas programs was About The Children singing songs about Jesus and They had Long
CHRISTMAS Speeches" and The Speeches were Bible "CONTEXT" you didn't speak a verse, You spoke the whole "CONTEXT" by Memory. The older you became the More you had to remember and It had Flavor and Sounded So GOOD, It was like speaking "Poetry". and then everybody went Home!

None of this entertaining stuff. preachers preaching and announcements and Special guests... Church stuff! Nothing GODLY ABOUT it!

Our Children learned the Word of GOD year by year and it was fun listening to Children Quote the WORD of GOD With feelings, and the older you got you could not wait to get a larger "TEXT" of scripture and you wanted it to sound so GOOD. My second oldest son, about 10 years old did his at a Pastor friend of Mines church who was also a "United States" Senator! we had the BOYS do their Speeches at "THE PODIUM" in The Pulpit with hundreds of People!


Yes Christmas has nothing to do with Christ any more, I watch people for years. The Glory of GOD in Christmas in these USA it seems does not exists any move. I remember some years ago, I was In South Carolina during Christmas working, I could not find even Christmas DVD's at Walmart or any other stores during days leading up unto Christmas Day. and one time I was in "WALMART" in the next township over from where I lived, No Christmas atmosphere no where I went out to The Car and got my "IPOD" and went back in to Store walked over to the entertainment Section and plug my "IPOD" and played it write in "WALMART" loud and clear! They did not say anything to This Black man! Me and "Celine Dion", "Mariah Carey" had A merry Christmas up in that place.

Now mind you, they built this Super Walmart on The Grounds I learn how to play GOLF on and Played There Free for years, I was the only Black person there on that Semi- Country Club, and I was there before the Brand new 2 million dollar Club house! I played free about 3 days a week with the staff. They made A "Golfer Out of ME!

Everybody new me by sight. They made me into a Golfer, I played for a whole summer with a Professional On "The European Tour" he lived in "Ireland" and His father-law lived in South Africa, who lost all of His land, from "Apartheid" and I met him too. He did not know how his Father in law was going to act towards me because he hated black people! when he came to America and we all played Golf together, He said, the golf pro: my father in law likes you, An he has never liked a black person he has ever met, but he is Crazy about you! He really likes you. They invited me to "Ireland", I told him I ain't going, I am scared to go there, He said don't worry, Just do not talked about religion and Politics, you will be find. "I didn't go". to far from home for me! Only one place that far I would go, was to "Scotland" to play at "St. Andrews" I might have went there. I had a desired to Play there.

Now back to Christmas, yes. I do understand and most likely in these times we might still feel the same.

Plough, and I am in a agreement with you.

He IS the Tabernacle not made by hands. Amen. Yes if He was conceived on Nisan 25 (first day of the Feast of Lights) this makes perfect sense.
