One of the upper comments on a BlackPilled video link (Rudolph the jewish Reindeer) featured a question about whether Christmas is a “Christian” holiday.

This bears a clear response.

In the pagan Roman Empire, prior to AD 274, there was no major holiday celebration of a “winter festival” on December 25. In that year, Emperor Aurelian established Sol Invictus on this date as his own pagan holiday for dual purposes. First, as an attempt to salvage the rapidly decaying state brought about by its hedonism and corruption - “Birth of the Unconquered Sun,” and second as a response to the increasingly popular celebrations from the decentralized (pre-Roman Catholic) set of Christians as the marking and remembrance of Christ’s birth.

As to the date, itself, there was tradition held among the early Church fathers that the date of death of a “Saint” or “prophet” fell on his date of conception. As such, they calculated the date of Christ’s death on a particular first century Passover. There was debate as to which year, resulting in a divide between “eastern” (April 6) and “western” (March 25) believers.

By tracking the date of birth forward 9 months from each supposed crucifixion/conception date, two leading scholars arrived at a purported birth date. Hippolytus (AD 170-240), working from the March 25 crucifixion date, established December 25 as the date of Christ’s birth. Subsequently, Clement of Alexandria (AD 150-215) arrived at January 6 - certain orthodoxies continue to contend that Christmas should be celebrated on January 6.

While the argument that a Saint would be conceived and die on the same calendar date is fallacious, it still should be understood that Christmas as a tradition, remembrance and celebration pre-dated the Roman pagan Sol Invictus by roughly a century.

So, yes, Virginia, Christmas is a Christian holiday.

Whatever it takes to put a seed of doubt into a Christian's mind. The jew keeps jewing.

The Jews Gotta Jew or the whole fallacy falls apart, the only evidence that they are Jew is They say they are the original Jews. There is no evidence that they are the original Jews but their proclamation. The fucked up features are from a half of century of inbreeding. There is so much fallacy in their history, only fools would believe their story. They send their offspring to schools to teach them how to be Jews. It's not innate. They are great con men and con women. That is not in question. and maybe they believe their own line of bullshit. believing it doesn't make it so. Since the Jew is responsible for Niggers in America, maybe this is their making amen.

By the reckoning of many historians, the actual date of Christ’s birth is likely some time in September, which aligns with a December 8 visitation.

This was more about the observance and tradition being an earnest, if misguided, attempt by early Christians to mark the date of Christ’s birth. It was also intended as a clear assertion that they did not convert a pagan holiday.

You have barely scratched the surface of what the history is around the Christmas holiday. I disagree entirely with it being a Christian holiday, but it is something that the vast majority of Christians celebrate and absolutely will not let go without the spirit convicting them otherwise.

Ultimately it doesn't matter. It is only a distraction. The only thing that matters in a Christian's life is whether Christ lives within him; his work with the spirit and surrendering his will to the changes that Christ desires to make within us should be the sole focus of life. If the spirit convicts a person to do a thing or not do a thing is all that matters. Hence Romans 14:5. Some of us are further along our walk with Him than others; some waste a lot of time doing nothing and others are quick to obey. Worrying about Christmas being a pagan holiday for most is the least of their worries.

False. You're taking a verse about people who go above and beyond to not eat meat sacrificed to idols and concluding that means people can do whatever they want so long as they believe it hard enough. Like some type of preposterous Hollywood script.

It's akin to taking a verse about people buying candy on sale after Halloween and concluding this means they can observe whatever pagan holiday they want. Despite them not observing Halloween and just buying cheap candy.

Deuteronomy 12:32 would like a word with you. You dont get to add religious observances at a whim. Doing so is explicitly prohibited.

Go get circumcised, then, too. And skip that bacon on Ocho De Poal. Don’t forget the other 600 civil and ceremonial laws.

There was a time and purpose for that law, and it isn’t today or for us.

God directly addressed two major struggles for Israel with this prohibition: the first being their faithless hearts latching on to false gods and their festivals, rituals and traditions, the second being greedy priests adding holidays and rituals in order to swell the coffers of the Tabernacle/Temple.

That prohibition, just like the rest of the law, was fulfilled and completed in Christ on the cross after His perfect life. We are no longer under the yoke of the law. It doesn’t save. It doesn’t sanctify.

In Christ, first crucified and now risen, seated on His Throne in Heaven as God the Son, we have perfect liberty, and when acting through the filling of His Spirit we have the guidance to do what is right. We are still obliged to follow the civil law of the government over us, such as eschewing murder and theft, but there is no written “commandment” of Scripture we now abide under other than to walk in the Spirit through avoidance of and perennially seeking forgiveness for sin.

James advised us to remember the poor and to avoid idolatry. Paul spoke to the Fruits of the Spirit and Works of the Flesh, and all else flows from embracing one while departing from the other.

Keep making excuses for being a degenerate and see how that works out for you.
