[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css="" css_animation="none"]

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The unbiblical nature of many Christmas customs, including the very name ‘Christmas’ is thoroughly examined. This includes the pagan sources for these customs and some of the dates when they were gradually absorbed into ‘church’ practice. ‘Santa Claus’ is dealt with at some length. In contrast biblical commands about regular remembrance of the Lord Jesus Christ are often neglected or downplayed. ### Summary The video examines Christmas's religious customs, contrasting popular traditions with biblical teachings on Jesus's birth and its significance. ### Highlights - 🎄 Christmas traditions are often seen as magical, similar to children's stories. - 📖 The Bible does not mention Christmas or instruct its celebration. - 📅 The exact date of Jesus's birth remains uncertain, likely not December 25th. - 🎉 Christmas decorations have pagan origins, adopted by Christians over centuries. - 🎅 St. Nicholas's transformation into Santa Claus reflects commercialization and cultural evolution. - ✝️ Jesus's significance lies in his purpose to save humanity, not merely in his birth. - 🌟 God's people are those who separate from pagan traditions and seek true faith. ### Key Insights - 🎆 The portrayal of Christmas frequently captivates the imagination, drawing parallels to children's literature.
