Over 160 Countries Celebrate Christmas (Post 19)
Something to pond on….
Over 160 Countries celebrate Christmas, according to LibrarySpot. And nine-in-ten Americans 90% and 95% of Christians, say they celebrate Christmas, according to a new Pew Research Center.
If 'Christmas' was truly about Jesus The Christ, Yeshua The Messiah, the WORLD wouldn't celebrate Christmas, it's just that plain and simple!
Everyone is uttering their 'Merry Christmases' from TV News Anchors saying it ALL day, who would NEVER speak of Jesus, to the grocery store clerk that barely voices you a hello. 'Merry Christmas' is said everywhere by almost everyone. It's even voiced by those of ALL different religions!
Does this mean anything, are they rejoicing over Jesus? NO! What most mean by shouting 'Merry Christmas' is, enjoy yourself and be happy. Like the old fashion phrase "It's a time of Merrymaking."
If we are honest, it's about gifts, parties, food, drinking and emotions. For the most part fleshly desires. And it's always been this way, for centuries, when we look back through history.
I'm sorry but we are living in a world now where you can't speak of the word 'Jesus' in school, gov't, and employment. YET we can shout 'Merry Christmas' all day long, and shut down almost the whole United States for this day, just the same in other countries around the world. All to honor Jesus on this 'holiday'? Hmm! AND this year Trump made Christmas EVE a federal holiday.
And replacing 'Christmas' with 'Happy Holidays' makes no difference, you are still referring to this same 'holiday', orgin 'Holy-Day'.
Let's not forget that Jesus said His name would be hated, and if you believe on Him you would be hated too. Let these Verses help you remember that fact….
"And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved." Matthew 10:22
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you." John 15:18
"The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil." John 7:7
“Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man. Luke 6:22
Satan has the whole world so deceived. The world LOVES Christmas, Jesus not so much. We are not to conform to this world, but we are to be set apart, different from the world. IF this world loves something, it's most likely NOT of The Father. He truly has nothing to do with this day. And sadly most "Christians" have just been beguiled.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2
Much love!
