Let's talk about Christmas!

[ThomasCooper]

Since this is "the season", it is time to give all the true Christians and satanists a good lesson regarding this so-called "holiday". This is from the late Pastor David J. Meyer who has brought numerous heathens out of the clutches of satan. Glory!

They tell us that it is the season to be jolly. It is a time of ornaments, red and green decorations, silver bells, holly, mistletoe and colored lights. It is also a time of department store Santas calling out their universal mantra, "Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas." Nearly all of the realm of so-called "Christianity" join in and repeat this same greeting, "Merry Christmas!"

Although we hear these words constantly as they resonate millions of times throughout the land, almost nOBody understands what they are really saying. It is the purpose of this tract to take the words, "Merry Christmas" and examine the true meaning and essence of those words.

A true Christian would want to examine everything they say, because Jesus said in Matthew 12:36-37, "But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." We will now set aside all of the customs, glitter and traditions of Christmas, which were taken from pagan witchcraft and popularized by the Roman Catholic Church, and we will focus on the true meaning of the words, "Merry Christmas!"

The word "Merry" is simple to define. It unquestionably means to be happy, joyful and light-hearted. The word "merry" fits into the ambience of laughter and frivolity. This word "merry" by itself is innocent and innocuous enough, but as we will now see, it becomes heinously blasphemous when used with the word "Christmas."

Here let it be noted that most people think that the word, "Christmas" means "the birth of Christ." By definition, it means "death of Christ", and I will prove it by using the World Book Encyclopedia, the Catholic Encyclopedia, and a book entitled, The Mass In Slow Motion.

If you are an honest, sincere and discerning Christian, please read on; if not, you might as well stop right here. The World Book Encyclopedia defines "Christmas" as follows: "The word Christmas comes from "Cristes Maesse", an early English phrase that means "Mass of Christ." (1) It is interesting to note that the word "Mass", as used by the Roman Catholics, has traditionally been rejected by the so-called Protestants, such as Lutherans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals and so on. The word "Mass" is strictly a Catholic word and thus, so is "Christ-Mass."

It would stand to reason, that since all of these denominations love and embrace "Christ-Mass", that December 25th is the great homecoming day, when all of the Protestants become Catholic for a day. It would seem that all of the so-called "wayward daughters" of the Romish church return to their mother, the scarlet harlot. Thus, all of the so-called Protestant churches could sing to the Pope that popular song "I'll be home for Christmas."

As previously stated, the word "Mass" in religious usage means a "death sacrifice." The impact of this fact is horrifying and shocking; for when the millions of people are saying, "Merry Christmas", they are literally saying "Merry death of Christ!" Furthermore, when the fat man in the red suit laughs boisterously and says, "Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas", he is mocking and laughing at the suffering and bleeding Saviour, who died for our sins. He does this while parents place their little children into his waiting arms to hear his false promises of gifts that he says he will give them. Consider what you are saying when you say "Merry Christmas."

What is so amusing about our Saviour's painful death? What is so funny? Why is Santa laughing? Why are you going along with it? Your words do count and Satan knows it. Yes, the word "Mass" does mean "death sacrifice", and to cement that fact, we will consider the definition of the inventors of the religious application of the word "Mass." I am looking at page 537 of the Catholic Encyclopedia, which says, "In the Christian law, the supreme sacrifice is that of the Mass." It goes on to say, "The supreme act of worship consists essentially in an offering of a worthy victim to God, the offering made by a proper person, as a priest, the destruction of the victim." (2) Please note carefully the word, "victim" of the Mass. The Latin word for victim is "Hostia" from which the word "host" is derived. The Mass, by definition of those who coined the word, is a sacrifice involving a victim. There is no other meaning for the word "Mass" or "Christ-Mass." On page 110 of a book entitled "The Mass In Slow Motion", we find the following words: "It is only with the consecration that the sacrifice of the Mass is achieved. I have represented the Mass to you, more than once, as a kind of ritual dance." (3)

In essence, the Mass is the ceremonial slaying of Jesus Christ over and over again, followed by the eating of his flesh and the drinking of his blood. The Mass is the death sacrifice, and the "Host" is the victim. This is official Roman Catholic doctrine, and "Christmas" is a word that they invented. Again, I ask, what is so merry about the pain, bleeding, suffering and death of Jesus Christ? Satan has done quite a jOB of getting millions of so-called "Christians" to blaspheme. What a deceiver he is.
Now you know the true meaning of the word "Christmas" or Mass of Christ. There is much more to know about this pagan holiday, and we will be glad to provide you with plenty of evidence that Jesus was not born on December 25th, and that Christmas is not only a lie, but is actually a witches' sabbat called "Yule" in clever disguise.

The death of Christ IS a merry event. It is the life-blood of the church, those of us who are redeemed by His blood. The Father looked forward to it, the Son came to fulfill it, and we are saved by the blood of the sacrificial Lamb; to me that is something to rejoice about. All that because He was born on Christmas, and, though He never named it "Christmas", and it has little to do with the mass, Christmas was here before the catholic church existed. It was "born" in heaven.
With that, I wold like to join the others in saying Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas Coop.

David J meyer is correct, even the word "Christmas" is blasphemy.

[John81]

There was an excellent discussion on the radio earlier today based upon Matthew 12:36-37, "But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."

Merry Christmas Coop.

I would expect wishes like this from satanists like Schworer, but I thought you were a Christian. Shame.

The death of Christ was not a merry event. His resurrection, however, was! But neither happened in December, and neither has anything to do with this pagan christmas.

[John81]

From everything I've read, no one really knows what day Christ was born, or even the time of year.

I have read some well put together material, and heard a few sermons, which proclaim Christ was born somewhere around the time of late December, and others who say sometime in the spring, and some who say about the same time as He was later resurrected. I've even read a few which say Christ had to have been born in Autumn. Interestingly, some of these differing views base their conclusions upon the same verses of Scripture! Yet they come to very different conclusions.

Cooper, I pray that your heart would not be so hardened. I'm sad that you are questioning Brother Matt's salvation... or anyone elses salvation on this board for that matter. If someone claims salvation leave the rest to the Lord. You prOBably shouldn't come along here critiquing every word they type to use against them. Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. 1 Peter 4:9 Use hospitality one to another without grudging

Without the death of Christ we would have no resurrection of Christ, so I thank the Lord He gave His life for me!

[John81]

I actually found it interesting years ago when I was studying early America and learned of the big differences among Christians with regards to Christmas. A large number of Christians in early America didn't accept or celebrate Christmas and their writings and sermons on this topic would make Cooper's statements seem tame. Even among the other Christians who did accept Christmas, they accepted it differently and often had serious differences with regards to what was and wasn't proper in the celebration of Christmas.

It was interesting to note that when Christmas really began to be accepted in America and became "mainstream" among Christians, it was said to have come about as a result of later generations of Christians turning away from the previous generations strict teachings on biblical separation and OBedience to the Word. Many point to this falling away (not just with regards to Christmas) as being the beginning of the liberalization of the American church.

Bah humbug and Merry Christmas!

Several years ago, there was an American woman being interviewed on our local radio station. She was asked whey Americans had two festivals so close together, she said that most Christians, especially in New England, did not celebrate Christmas till the late 1800s, they considered it a papish trivia. It was only when many irish and Italian Catholic immigrants came, that it began to be a widelt celebrated festival.

I did some research on a few baptist Churches in this area including this one in Canterbury. http://www.onlinebaptist.com/home/index.php?app=forums&module=post&section=post&do=reply_post&f=25&t=12615 I borrowed copies of the minutes from 1845. Christmas was not mentioned at all. Services are held as usual on 25 Dec. They even held a members business meeting once on 25 Dec. From the main road, this chapel looks like a turrett in the city wall. It is almost in the shadow of the cathedral. Other Baptist churches never mention Christmas in their minutes.

Preacher, Samuel Eyles Pierce, in his memoire only mentions Christmas once and that is Christmas eve. He said that in 1808, after walking some miles into London he caught the stage coach to Maidstone, walked 20 miles or so to Faversham, preached twice the next day, and three times the following day, it being the Lords day, then walked another 10 miles to Canterbury, to spend the new year.

Should Christians celebrate Christmas?
