Have you anytime wondered about Christmas? From the time you aboriginal activate out there actually was no Santa Claus, did you anytime catechism added aspects of this absurd anniversary ? Did you anytime admiration area Christmas came from? Why acquire a Christmas tree? Area did the abstraction of Santa Claus originate? Why is this day acclaimed on the 25th of December? What do all these symbols and anniversary actually mean? What is God 's angle on these things? If you were afraid if you aboriginal apparent the accuracy about Santa Claus, you will be even added afraid by the blow of the story. Christmas Is Not Christian! As abominable as it ability sound, there is annihilation Christian about Christmas. It was men who created the chat "Christmas" from the byword "Mass of Christ." In this way, Christ's name came to be associated with this anniversary and millions acquire arise to acquire it is a Christian observance. The accuracy is that this holiday, with the aforementioned symbols and ceremonies, was accomplished abounding centuries afore Jesus was anytime born. In fact, it did not become a allotment of professing Christianity until hundreds of years afterwards the Savior's beheading and ascent to heaven. This accuracy is accustomed by the affidavit of both religious and civil authorities. The 1911 copy of the Catholic Encyclopedia illustrates that Christmas did not arise in Palestine but rather in Egypt. Christmas was not a allotment of the age-old festivals of the Church...the aboriginal affirmation of the barbecue is from Egypt... Agnostic community absorption about the January calends gravitated to Christmas. The anniversary of Christmas was not accustomed during the canicule of the apostles or the aboriginal New Testament church. Consider the words of the Encyclopedia Americana, 1944 copy which states: Christmas... was, according to abounding authorities, not acclaimed in the aboriginal centuries of the Christian church, as the Christian acceptance in accustomed was to bless the afterlife of arresting bodies rather than their birth. The Agent of Christmas Biblical authorities and civil historians accede that the anniversary of Christ's address did not access the abbey until hundreds of years afterwards Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. It was not until the fifth aeon that the Roman Catholic Abbey ordered this day to be celebrated. Furthermore, the abbey directed this anniversary to yield abode on the aforementioned day as the agnostic anniversary committed to adherent the sun god. The affiliation amid Christmas and a array of agnostic practices is thoroughly documented. Not alone the day, but its symbols are carefully affiliated to religious practices accustomed by the agnostic world. William Walsh, a accustomed ascendancy on Christmas, writes: ...the Christmas festival...is a bit-by-bit change from times that affiliated antedated the Christian period... It was over laid aloft agnostic festivals, and abounding of its observances are alone adaptations of agnostic to Christian Ceremonies. (The Adventure of Santa Klaus p. 58) ...It was on or about December 21st that the age-old Greeks acclaimed what are accustomed to us as the Bacchanalia or anniversary in account of Bacchus, the god of wine. In these anniversary the humans gave themselves up to songs, dances and added revels which frequently anesthetized the banned of appropriateness and order. (The Adventure of Santa Klaus p. 65) ...the Saturnalia, captivated in account of Saturn, the god of time, began on December 17th and affiliated for seven days. These aswell generally concluded in anarchism and disorder. Hence the words Bacchanalia and Saturnalia acquired an angry acceptability in afterwards times. (The Adventure of Santa Klaus p. 65) Why December 25? Today, a lot of of the apple celebrates Christmas on the twenty-fifth of December. Werner Keller writes in The Bible as History: December 25 is referred to in abstracts as Christmas day in A.D. 324 for the aboriginal time. Beneath the Roman emperor Justinian [in the 500's] it was accustomed as an official holiday. An old Roman anniversary played a above allotment in the best of this accurate day. December 25 in age-old Rome was the 'Dies Natali Invictus,' 'the altogether of the unconquered sun,' the day of the winter acme and at the aforementioned time, in Rome, the endure day of the Saturnalia,...a anniversary of dizzying carnival... (p. 331) It is ablaze from the almanac of history that Christmas originated during pre-Christian times and was acclaimed by the agnostic apple for centuries afterwards the afterlife of Christ. This day again became accustomed by the Roman Catholic Abbey in the fifth century. Area did the pagans get their account apropos such a celebration? Through her backroom and the use of her son's Nimrod's name, Semeramis became the queen of Babylon, the home of the Chaldee Mysteries. She was aswell admired as the "queen of Heaven" and "the mother of the all-powerful son." Afterwards ancestors of these agnostic practices and traditions, Nimrod came to be advised the son of Baal, the sun god. He and his mother became the arch entities of admiration as a Madonna and child. This acceptance and convenance advance to Egypt, area the names of the gods were Isis and Osiris. The son Osiris was built-in December 25. In Asia it was Cybele and Deonius. In Rome they were alleged Fortuna and Jupiter. Throughout the apple we still acquisition the debris of mother and adolescent admiration to this day. It is no abruptness that this aforementioned arrangement still exists at the end of the age. It is alleged "Mystery Babylon" (Revelation 17:5). Shockingly, it is bearded as Christianity and is still accomplished in Christmas. From Paganism to Christianity The abundant historian Will Durant declared how paganism in actuality took aloft itself Christianity and acclimatized it to agnostic purposes. Christianity did not abort paganism; it adopted it... From Egypt came the abstraction of a all-powerful trinity... [and] the admiration of the Mother and Child... From Phrygia came the admiration of the Abundant Mother... The Mithraic ritual so carefully resembled the Eucharistic cede of the Mass that Christian fathers answerable the Devil with inventing these similarities to mislead breakable minds. [Modern day] Christianity was the endure abundant conception of the age-old agnostic world. (The Adventure of Civilization, p. 595) It is ablaze that a advanced ambit of agnostic practices became alloyed into the Roman Catholic Church. It began with all-embracing the altogether of the sun god and establishing the date of this anniversary as December 25. It is arresting to agenda that the convenance of sun admiration began in aboriginal Egypt. There the priests would accomplish a annular dent to represent the sun. The celebrants would eat the wafer, emblematic the sun god's activity and the aliment of man's soul. Clearly, the abbey was all-embracing paganism in an attack to access its numbers and draw in a non-believing world. In reality, it was the abbey getting captivated by those who accomplished behavior actually adverse to Christianity. In his book The Two Babylons Alexander Hislop characterized it this way: Long afore the fourth century, and affiliated afore the Christian era itself, a anniversary was acclaimed a allotment of the agnostic at that absolute time of the year, in account of the address of the son of the Babylonian queen of heaven; and it may adequately be accustomed that, in adjustment to allay the heathen, and to cool the amount of the nominal adherents of Christianity, the aforementioned anniversary was adopted by the Roman Church, giving it alone the name of Christ. This addiction on the allotment of Christians to accommodated paganism half-way was actual aboriginal developed... (p. 93) The abbey eventually adopted and alloyed several altered agnostic ceremonies to eventually end up with the avant-garde day convenance of Christmas and the New Year celebrations we attestant today. Christmas Through History During the closing allotment of the third century, Deus Sol Invictus became the official celestial of the Roman Empire. At that time, a abundant temple was congenital in account of the sun and the sun's altogether was acutely set as December 25. This date was alleged because it was the accustomed date of the winter solstice. Beneath than 100 years later, Emperor Constantine came to ability in Rome. At the alpha of Constantine's rule, it was a abuse of Roman law to convenance Christianity. Christians were hated by the accompaniment and were subjected to abundant persecution. However, Constantine saw something in Christianity he believed could be actual admired in captivation the authority together. Despite abundant persecution, Christians remained committed to their faith. This charge so afflicted Constantine that he issued "The Edict of Toleration" in 313 A.D. and fabricated Christianity the official adoration of the Roman Empire. As a result, accompaniment animality of Christians stopped. However, the account was not all good. Because Christianity became the accompaniment religion, the abbey became actual political and the doctrines accustomed by the abbey were watered down and actively compromised. Jesse Hurlbut describes this aeon in his book, The Adventure of the Christian Church. ...the enactment of Christianity as the accompaniment adoration became a curse... Everybody approved associates in the church, and about everybody was received. Both acceptable and bad, aboveboard seekers afterwards God and hypocritical seekers afterwards gain, rushed into the communion. Ambitious, worldly, arrant men approved appointment in the abbey for amusing and political influence... The casework of admiration added in splendor, but were beneath airy and affable than those of above times. The forms and ceremonies of paganism gradually crept into the worship. Some of the old agnostic feasts became abbey festivals with change of name and of worship. Legalizing Christianity apparent one botheration for the church, but it acquired another. Millions of pagans were al of a sudden fabricated "Christians" in actuality overnight. These pagans had no admiration to accordance up their agnostic practices, however. Try as it would, the abbey could not abound on the humans to accordance up the paganism that they embraced. The church's acknowledgment was to assuredly "Christianize" abundant agnostic practices. This adopting of agnostic festivals was not afterwards action however. While abounding professing Christians accustomed the alternative to bless these agnostic practices, others objected. Abounding at the time accepted that such practices were rankly pagan, blasphemous practices which should never acquire been brought into the church. Christian preachers of the West and the Abreast East protested adjoin the cheap childishness with which Christ's altogether was celebrated, while Christians of Mesopotamia accused their Western aggregation of account and sun admiration for adopting as Christian this agnostic festival. Despite action by Christians committed to advancing the commodity in scripture, agnostic access artlessly afflicted the church, transforming it into something far altered from that aloft up by Jesus through Peter and the apostles. This actuality is accustomed by The Encyclopedia Americana which states: Christmas... according to abounding authorities, was not acclaimed in the aboriginal centuries of the Christian Church... In the fifth aeon the Western Abbey ordered it to be acclaimed consistently on the day of the old Roman Barbecue of the address of Sol. As you can see, age-old rites accomplished by the agnostic apple were eventually grafted into Christianity. Rome had been agnostic centuries afore the address of Christianity and it artlessly was not traveling to carelessness its apocryphal religion. If Emperor Constantine ordered Christianity placed on according basement with paganism, humans adopted their old ways. They enjoyed those things they had consistently known, and artlessly acclimatized the old to arise to accommodate to the new. They afflicted from adherent the "sun" to adherent the "Son" and this was done application all their old practices. Most humans today apperceive little or annihilation of the agnostic agent of Christmas. They are blind that affectionate Christians aboriginal against these agnostic practices. Additionally, a lot of Christians today don't acquire that believers committed to befitting the accuracy of God were affected to go underground, some adversity affliction rather than acceptance themselves to participate in such things. The Christmas Tree The Christmas timberline is arguably the a lot of arresting attribute of this season. Millions of humans accompany an beloved timberline into their homes and adorn it with admirable bottle balls, tinsel, and lights. These aforementioned millions would never anticipate of the Christmas timberline as an idol which God abhors. The attitude of bringing a timberline into the home and decorating it came from a allegory apropos Saint Boniface. According to tradition, Saint Boniface cut down the "great oak of Jupiter," a timberline admired by agnostic Teutons in Germany. The adventure is that Saint Boniface came aloft a bandage of heathens who were adherent a huge oak tree. This bandage was about to action a animal sacrifice. Boniface intervened, endlessly the sacrifice. He again ordered the timberline cut down. Fable has it that a baby fir timberline sprang up in it's place. Boniface proclaimed that this timberline was the timberline of activity and represented Christ. Careful assay of this adventure reveals arresting similarities to the adventure of Nimrod and Semeramis. Afterwards the afterlife of Nimrod, his mother Semeramis declared that Nimrod was reincarnated in the anatomy of an beloved timberline which sprung up overnight. History reveals that the admiration of copse and attributes was a accepted convenance a allotment of pagans and continues to this actual day. It is important to acquire that such practices are abhorrent to God. The tenth affiliate of the book of Jeremiah illustrates this point. Here, God commands his humans to "learn not the way of the heathen." He again goes into abundant detail anecdotic a attitude in which the agnostic cut a timberline out of the backwoods and adorn it. God goes on to characterize this timberline as a graven angel (Jer. 10:1-2). Although abounding altercate that Jeremiah is not apropos to the Christmas tree, in these verses, their altercation misses the point. What God arise through Jeremiah is that His accouchement are to abstain practices that resemble those accustomed by the agnostic world. He did not say that it was adapted to adapt their practices and alarm them Christian. The Christmas timberline is acutely a attribute of a acceptance that was awfully altered from annihilation advocated by the scriptures. The Christmas tree's agent in paganism is thoroughly accurate by the affidavit of history. Consider the words of Alexander Hislop. The Christmas tree, now so accepted a allotment of us, was appropriately accepted in Agnostic Rome and Agnostic Egypt. In Egypt that timberline was the access tree; in Rome it was the fir; the access timberline cogent the Agnostic Messiah, as Baal-Tamar, the fir apropos to him as Baal-Berith. The Christmas tree... recapitulates the abstraction of timberline worship...gilded basics and assurance emblematic the sun...all the anniversary of the winter acme acquire been captivated into Christmas day...the use of holly and mistletoe to the Druidic ceremonies; the Christmas timberline [ It is ablaze that the Christmas timberline is a able attribute and conjures abounding images apropos the anniversary it pictures. However, there is one affair the Christmas timberline is NOT - it is not Christian. Everything about the Christmas timberline can be traced to behavior that are acerb accursed in scripture. There is no affiliation amid the Christmas timberline and the address of Christ. It is a agnostic attribute that God condemns. In 1974, United Columnist International, one of the world's arch columnist agencies, agitated an commodity apropos the agent of the Christmas tree. This commodity batten volumes about this attribute that has arise to be acerb accustomed by the Christian world. Toward the boilerplate of winter, as the sun began ambience added in the south, and the nights grew longer, age-old agnostic priests put candles which they alleged bogie lights on copse in an attack to allurement the sun aback against the north. (December 17) Today, millions of Christian homes about the apple are adorned with beloved copse every Christmas. Tragically, humans abort to acquire what these copse account because they artlessly don't ask. Santa Claus One of the a lot of arresting images associated with Christmas is that of Santa Claus. Every year, accouchement about the apple affiliated for his arrival, for he is the giver of gifts. Today, Santa Claus is depicted as a lover of accouchement and a accurate giver. During the Christmas season, humans are even encouraged to accompany his abundant army of elves so that accouchement about the apple can be affected by his goodness. So accepted is Santa Claus that adults acquaint accouchement acceptance of his exploits. These acceptance are conveyed with such confidence that accouchement acquire them afterwards question. But who is Santa Claus? And area did his adventure begin? Many online writing and books acquire been accounting to explain that Santa Claus was a abbey by the name of Nicholas who lived in Asia Minor during the fourth century. It is accurate that such a abbey did abide but abundant of what is attributed to him is untrue. The added Vatican board formally declared that while there was a Roman Catholic abbey called Nicholas, they accustomed that abounding concepts associated with him in actuality came from agnostic sources. William Walsh wrote: Santa Claus comes from Saint Nicholas, the saint whose anniversary was acclaimed in December and the one who in added respects was a lot of about in accordance with the dim traditions of Saturn as the hero of the Saturnalia. (The Adventure of Santa Klaus, p.70) Tony Van Renterghem writes the afterward in his book, If Santa Was a Shaman: The Age-old Origins of Santa Claus & the Christmas Tree: In the anew Christianized areas area the agnostic Celtic and Germanic cults remained strong, legends of the god Wodan were attenuated with those of assorted Christian saints; Saint Nicholas was one of these. There were Christian areas area Saint Nicholas disqualified alone; in added locations, he was assisted by the agnostic Aphotic Helper. In added limited areas... age-old pockets of the Olde Adoration controlled traditions. Here the Aphotic Helper disqualified alone. Sometimes in a a lot of ambagious manner, application the awning name of Saint Nicholas or 'Klaus,' afterwards in any way alteration his threatening, Herne/Pan, fur-clad appearance. By arresting such agnostic feasts and traditions, the Christian Abbey angry Herne into Saint Nicholas' captive, chained Aphotic Helper; none added than Satan the Aphotic One, allegorical of all evil... The Worldbook Encyclopedia provides some arresting insights into some of the traditions apropos Santa Claus. Some of Santa Claus's characteristics date aback abounding centuries. For example, the acceptance that Santa enters the abode through the chase developed from a Norse legend. The Norse believed that the goddess Hertha appeared in the broiler and brought acceptable luck to the home. Other traditions from the Druidic time advance that Santa's red clothing is a extra from the times if age-old peoples admired the god of fire. Attitude has it that this blaze god came down the chimney. Consider too, that in age-old times, Druid homeowners would leave a amusement consisting of milk and pastries to allay this god who came down the chase into their fireplace. This is how the attitude of abrogation milk and accolade out for Santa began. The abstraction of agreement stockings on the broiler mantel aswell comes from this allegorical agnostic practice. It is ablaze that the avant-garde Santa traces his origins aback to age-old agnostic traditions. Christmas Presents Most humans acquire the attitude of giving Christmas presents comes from the Bible. The acceptance is that the astute men gave ability to Jesus, accordingly it is adapted for us to accordance ability to anniversary other. However, accurate assay of this attitude will acknowledge that allowance giving has annihilation to do with Magi or the ability they presented to Christ. Both religious and civil history acknowledge a ablaze affiliation amid giving ability during the Christmas division and agnostic practices. Consider the afterward insights apropos this practice. The altering of presents amid accompany is a like appropriate of Christmas and the Saturnalia, and acquire to acquire been adopted by Christians from the Pagans, as the admonition of Tertullian audibly shows. (The Bibliotheca Sacra, vol. 12, p. 153) Tertullian wrote in his work, On Account that during the agnostic barbecue of the Saturnalia which was acclaimed in December, ability were "carried to and fro." According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, exchanging ability at this time of the year may acquire been afflicted by agnate community accomplished by the pagans on January 1. "Gifts are exchanged by the French on January 1, by the Spanish and Italians on January 6, and by added nationalities on December 25. In a lot of locations of Europe it was the Christ Adolescent who brought the gifts. Afterwards the Reformation, the day itself was personified, and the amount of Ancestor Christmas was afterwards accumulated with St. Nicholas, [who afterwards became] Santa Claus." (p. 659) William Walsh provides added insights into the attitude of exchanging presents. Christmas ability themselves admonish us of the presents that were exchanged in Rome during the Saturnalia. In Rome, it ability be added, the presents usually took the anatomy of wax tapers and dolls - the closing getting in their about-face a adaptation of the animal sacrifices already offered to Saturn. It is a anomalous anticipation that in our Christmas presents we are attention beneath accession anatomy one of the a lot of aboriginal community of our barbaric ancestors. (The Adventure of Santa Klaus, p.67) Gifts to a King It is important to acquire that the astute men did not accordance ability to anniversary other. Additionally, the ability they brought to Christ were not altogether presents. Jesus did not acquire toys from these visitors, but rather abnormal offerings that abounding acquire backpack abundant significance. It has been appropriate that gold was is a allowance accustomed to a king, aroma a allowance accustomed to a priest and myrrh-a aroma acclimated in advancing a physique for burial-was a allowance that was accustomed to a accursed man. It is ablaze that the astute men presented ability to Jesus because they accepted Him to be a abundant King. The agreement at that time was to never access the attendance of kings or dignitaries afterwards address a gift. Adam Clark's annotation expresses it this way: "The humans of the east never access the attendance of kings and abundant personages afterwards a present in their hands." (Vol. 5, p. 46) The accuracy is that allowance giving at this time of year is not scriptural and has no base in the adventure of the astute men. The giving of ability at this time of year came from the convenance of the age-old Saturnalia. Today, this admiration of Saturn has alloyed with the admiration of Mammon, the god of money. Commercialism, Not Christianity Over the centuries the convenance of giving ability at this time of year has amplified to become big business! Hallmark, one of the nation's top three wrapping cardboard manufacturers, arise that during one Christmas season, it will aftermath over 24,000 afar of wrapping cardboard and Americans will absorb over seven billion dollars on children's toys during the Christmas season. Collectively, agencies and photo studios clothing up and address out as abounding as 20,000 Santa Clauses to malls, parades, and parties every year. It has been estimated that retail aliment can accomplish $35,000 in added assets artlessly by accepting a columnist and a busy Santa Claus for the season. It is aswell estimated that capital cartage increases by 15% if a Santa Claus is in one of the big stores. In the city-limits of Los Angeles alone the amount of Christmas copse awash acme 1.1 million. In addition, 3000 belletrist addressed to Santa Claus will go through the Los Angeles Post Appointment and this canton will aswell absorb over ten actor kilowatt hours of electricity to abutment its Christmas lights. This is the boilerplate account acceptance for abounding third apple countries and this is just one City-limits of bags beyond the U.S. The boilerplate American ancestors will acquire 26 cards while 650 actor Christmas bales will be beatific to accompany and admired ones through the mail during this season. The city-limits of Beverly Hills will absorb over one actor dollars on their anniversary decorations while See's Bonbon will advertise over 12 actor pounds of candy. In the United States, retailers acquire glamorized Christmas as no added holiday. They abundantly adorn their stores, aqueduct in appropriate music and appoint men in Santa Claus suits, all for one purpose: to allurement shoppers into a spirit of consuming. So important is Christmas to the abridgement of the United States that the absence of such a anniversary could in actuality anesthetize the country. It has been appropriate that 50% of anniversary profits enjoyed by retailers is generated by Christmas-related sales. Recently, an controlling of one of America's better retail chains appropriate that 75% of their profits were generated amid Thanksgiving and Christmas. Tragically, all of this all-inclusive spending does not actually accomplish humans happy. During this time of the year 35% to 40% of Americans will become so depressed they will use booze or drugs to artlessly cope with the blank they feel at this declared "joyous" time. Reacting to this gross affairs of Christmas, abundant religious leaders acquire been heard to exclaim, "We care to put Christ aback in Christmas." But the accuracy is, Christ was NEVER in Christmas and He never will be! Regardless of how Christmas has been packaged it is a agnostic anniversary that is wholly committed to materialism. It is sin captivated in ablaze paper, dressed up in a red clothing and swathed in bendable down-covered angel hair. Humans may acquaint themselves that they are adherent Christ if they bless it, but the accuracy be accustomed that Christmas has actually annihilation to do with the Savior of flesh and He will never acquire annihilation to do with it! As amiable as these symbols may appear, accomplish no aberration about it: they are acutely abiding in practices God condemns throughout the scriptures. God does not charge the Yule log, holly, mistletoe, or any added anatomy of frondescence acclimated in the admiration of apocryphal gods. The Bible annal that while speaking to a woman from Samaria, Jesus said that God acquire to be admired in spirit and in accuracy (Jn. 4:24). The acceptance that these symbols are accurately affiliated to Christ's address is actually false. They are agnostic to the amount and should be forsaken. The Address of the Messiah The acceptance that Jesus was built-in on or abreast December 25 has no base in fact. Actually, this date has a actual decrepit past. It was the altogether of the sun god Mithra and of Nimrod and is affiliated with abounding alone practices associated with paganism. Virtually all aboveboard annal announce that the aboriginal Abbey did not even bless birthdays. The Apple Book Encyclopedia reveals the following: The exact date of Christ's address is not known. The aboriginal Christians did not bless His birth, because they advised the anniversary of anyone's address to be a agnostic custom. The aboriginal acknowledgment of the acknowledgment of Christ's altogether appears about A.D. 200. For abounding years, several dates were used. December 25 was aboriginal mentioned in 336. (article "Christmas") Should Christians Bless Christmas? It is actual that Christmas is the a lot of advancing time of the year for millions of Christians. It is a time of admirable music, adorable food, ablaze colors, and ancestors reunions. However, there is one affair Christmas is not; it is not now, nor has it anytime been, Christian. The Puritans accepted this basic point. William Prynne wrote the afterward during the time of Baron Charles: Our Christmas lords of Misrule... were acquired from the Roman Saturnalia and Bacchanalian festivals; which should could cause all pious Christians always to abominate them. (Book of Christian Folklore, p. 8) As innocent and ambrosial as this day may appear, it has at its actual roots a aphotic and agnostic origin. Tom Flynn, in his book, The Botheration with Christmas, provides a actual arresting ascertainment about the bulletin Christmas sends. If His purpose in advancing was annihilation like what is supposed, again in adulatory His altogether anniversary year Christians do violence, not honor, to his memory. For in adulatory a altogether at all, we sustain actually the affectionate of attitude His advancing is anticipation to acquire been advised to casting down. (p.42) It is actually capital to acquire that God hates a lie, no amount what anatomy it takes. Satan himself was characterized as the ancestor of lies (Jn. 8:44) and the bluff of the accomplished apple (Rev. 12:9). The scriptures aswell acknowledge that Satan appears as an angel of light. Is it any admiration that festivals anniversary him would acquire abundant adorableness and appeal? A Final Thought Is Christmas Christian? The simple acknowledgment is "no;" it is an absolute "no!" Christmas is not Christian; it is agnostic to the core. Its images and symbols were accustomed from agnostic practices and should be alone by all accurate believers. While speaking to the accouchement of Israel, God gave a able admonition apropos the assimilation of apocryphal religions into the adherent of Him. Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by afterward them, afterwards that they be destroyed from afore thee; and that thou enquire not afterwards their gods, saying, "How did these nations serve their gods? Even so will I do likewise." Thou shalt not do so unto the Eternal thy God: for every abhorrence to the Eternal, which He hateth, acquire they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they acquire burnt in the blaze to their gods. What affair soever I command you, beam to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor abate from it. (Deut. 12:30-32) The Bible reveals that Jesus Christ will acknowledgment to this apple and authorize His millennial Kingdom. If He comes, will He acquisition His accouchement acquire alternate to Egypt? And what about you? Will you acquire the commodity of a apple that embraces agnostic practices and dresses them up as Christianity, or will you admiration Him in spirit and in truth?
