Christ’s birth was and is crucial. It’s the incarnation, the one-time only and only unique birth event, which the angels were celebrating. Salvation has come to the world! \o/ Did you know that Jews of Jesus’ day did not celebrate birthdays? Not even bar/bat mitzvahs (those are new innovations)! That is why we do not see any apostle celebrating the birthday of Christ Jesus. But the Jewish-pagans of His day did celebrate birthdays – Herod was of Judaism, but he was also enamored with the Roman culture as evidenced in the celebrating of his birthday. He was a Jew in name only. He was also an Idumean, aka, an Edomite, with that wicked Haman in his ancestry.
Has the Christ Mass celebration been changed from pagan to Christian lawfully? No. We do not see anywhere in scripture where God has said to steer clear of paganism until a certain amount of time has passed. This pre-Christ yule-tide season where the decorated tree-in-house tradition comes from is, in our day, a celebration of pagan Wiccans who adopted the holiday from the sun worshiping Druids. We are to keep from even the appearance of evil yet we look just like the Wiccans when we practice their decorated tree-in-house tradition. Putting Christ’s name on that which God hates is an evil we need to beware of if we love Christ Jesus. God warned the Israelites not to worship Him in the same manner as the heathen do their gods and we do not see a lifting of that command in the New Testament but instead see what the pagans did with their books in Acts 19:19. Its what we must do with our christo-pagan traditions and things. Hard to do? Yes! And yet easy when you love the Lord Jesus Christ and want to please Him in all of your ways.
May God open the eyes of His children and call them out of this iniquitous tradition of men/pagan/papist practice into a pure worship of Him in spirit and in truth, amen!
The X Mass Blog 
I know we are responsible for ourselves, but I do believe the pastors in our Protestant churches are leading the saints astray. So it’s everybody does it so it must be ok. We are looked at as legalistic by some for not participating. But for me, I find that it mocks the Lord to mix the Name of Jesus with all that goes on during Christmas. I don’t want to be part of that, and that’s not legalism.

I agree, Cathy. I pray all of the time for pastors to have their eyes opened to the paganism of the Christ Mass. Most Christians think there is nothing wrong with X Mass because it’s been done for so long and every big-name preacher and pastor has celebrated it. And, as you know, there are those who are saying there never was anything pagan in it despite the Roman Catholic church history, encyclopedias, and pastors through the ages saying it has a pagan foundation.
Have a blessed Lord’s Day, amen! \o/

We pray for pastors nightly, not only because of their promoting Christmas, but for their ecumenism and calling for unity with the Roman Catholic Church. It really is difficult for me to understand how they have forgotten the martyrs. 😢 You have a blessed Lord’s Day as well. 🙌🏻
