Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; And I hate every false way.
Exodus 20:3 KJV
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Folly is joy to him who is destitute of discernment, But a man of understanding walks uprightly.
In keeping, after a religious sort, a day that has no authority but man’s, we are paying homage to that authority; we are bowing down, in the very act of our observance of the day as part of worship, not to Christ, who has not appointed it, but to the Church, which has. We are keeping the season holy, not to God, but to man. ~ from the book, The Church of Christ by James Bannerman
It is idolatry, not only to worship a false god, but the true God in a false manner. – Thomas Watson
“WE are not redeemers. WE can’t change evil to good.” Terri W~
Satan works to blend together his system with God’s system, because he knows when unacceptable worship (paganism) is blended with true worship (in spirit and in truth), true worship is destroyed.
...the Bible says we can't get good fruit out of an evil tree. Is our entertainment more important than the approval of the Lord Jesus Christ?

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. – Job 14:4
The church is a reproach to the world and to God when it builds bridges to the world. When will the church get it? People are looking for something other than the world-something better, something higher. They don’t want a christianized form of what they desire to escape. They want deliverance, not relevance
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.-John 4:24
Every time any form of worship by procession, celebration, or ceremonial of man’s invention is offered to God, it is offered in defiance of this word of Christ, and cannot and will not be received; however earnest people may be they have violated the imperative canon of God’s Word; and in fighting for rubrics they have gone against the eternal rubric that God as a Spirit must be worshipped in spirit and in truth. ~ C.H. Spurgeon

“Essence of lies, and quintessence of blasphemy, as the religion of Rome IS… it nevertheless fascinates a certain order of Protestants, of whom we fear it may be truly said that ‘they have received a strong delusion to believe a lie, that they may be damned.’ Seeing that it is so, it becomes all who would preserve their fellow-immortals from destruction to be plain and earnest in their warnings. Not in a party-spirit, but for truth’s sake, our Protestantism must protest perpetually.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon
–The Sword and the Trowel January 1873
“But you say, ‘We don’t do it that way,’ but God says, ‘I don’t want you to do it at all!’” ~Jim Brown
“Satan is the world’s greatest counterfeiter, so he tempts us to sit at his table and join his feast (festival, festivity) by making it as attractive as he can. He knows we will say no if his festival looks like pure evil, so he’s let us create our own G-rated version that we aren’t as likely to resist…God is a jealous God, and all pagan beliefs are sinful in God’s eyes. We can’t choose how much or even how nicely we want to celebrate. ” ~Michele Blake
None resist the wisdom of God more than they that should be wisest, and they resist because of their zeal for their own traditions: for men please themselves in superstition more than in any other thing, that is to say, in a worship of God fondly devised by themselves. ~ Geneva Study Bible, commentary on Mark 7:1 concerning the Pharisees (which would be today's Christo-pagans)
Don't be surprised when the truth offends the mind of the hearer for it has just revealed the true intents or condition of the heart. Remember, truth still remains the truth even if the hearer chooses not to believe it.
Proverbs 15:31 The ear that hears the rebukes of life Will abide among the wise.
Proverbs 28:26 He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But whoever walks wisely will be delivered.
“Have I now become your enemy because I tell you the truth?”
The only people who are mad at you for speaking the truth are those people who are living the lie.
Keep speaking the truth.
The blended religion comprised of ancient Sun-worship rituals sanctioned by and brought into Christian "Orthodoxy" by Roman emperor Constantine in the fourth century...
An apostasy and abomination, nonetheless remains the second most popular religion on Earth today.
Are YOU a "Christo-Pagan"?
Do YOU observe Sun-worship rituals? Christ Mass, Ishtar/Astarte/Lent/Mardi-Gras/Halloween?
If so...REPENT!

...but were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
Valid tradition is based upon Scripture and confirms it. Vain tradition is based upon man’s teachings and violates it.
When you use falsehood to exalt the truth then you have utterly destroyed the importance of truth. ~ Sherry
We … are not permitted to cherish any doctrine after our own will, nor to choose that which another person has introduced from their own private fancy. In the Lord's apostles we possess our authority. Even they did not choose to introduce anything from themselves, but faithfully delivered to the nations the discipline which they had received from Christ. If, therefore, even an angel from heaven should preach any other gospel, he would be called accursed by us. Tertullian, c. A.D. 200 (Prescription Against Heretics 6)
It amazes me that those who celebrate the traditions of men’s pagan/papist "holy" days have no problem saying that you cannot christianize Yoga or other such pagan activities and practices-can they not see their own hypocrisy? They would not have us pick and choose the Scriptures we should abide by, and they would not have us give to Scriptures our own private interpretation, yet it is the very thing that they do to justify celebrating these abominable pagan "holy" days that God detests and tells us not to do many times over throughout His holy Word.
Here then, is one striking evidence of the deceitfulness of the heart. It produces ignorance of ourselves; it keeps men strangers to their own character; and makes them fatally presume that they are in friendship with God, while they are enemies to Him in their minds and by wicked works. ~from THE DECEITFULNESS OF THE HEART by David Black
Men, since the Fall, have always made a light thing of disobedience to God and makes obedience to God an overly hard thing to do.
“In the sight of God the circus and the theater are far less obnoxious than the “Christmas celebration” of Romish and Protestant “churches.” Why? Because the latter are done under the cover of the holy name of Christ; the former are not”. [A.W. Pink]
Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles nor to the church of God:
Questions: If you set up the pagan Yule/ X Mass tree in the church because you don’t believe there is any harm to you and your fellow believers, will you stop the practice when a former Wiccan comes to Christ Jesus as her Savior and joins your church? Or will you wound her conscience and spoil her rewards from God by your selfishness in letting her believe that some of her Wiccan practices and tokens are OK for her to hold on to? In witnessing Christ before Wiccans, do you think they will see how set apart from them you are during the X Mass/Easter season? Or will they see you as imitating them (which is what you really are doing) and cause them to believe that Christianity is just another pagan-rooted religion?
Another question: Do you care if some of your members leave the church while you are celebrating the Yuletide season because it offends them?
Pretend for a moment that you and your family are the only ones in the world. Pretend you don’t have a TV or any history books from the world. All you have is a Bible. Without any influences from the world, you do your best to follow the Word of God. Based on that scenario, is it likely that you will be cutting a tree from the forest, decorating it with balls, and exchanging gifts on December 25th and saying it is for the celebration of the birth of Christ? Of course not because such silly tradition does not exist in the Bible and it would not even exist in your conscience and you would not even be inspired to imagine such a silly tradition. It is only through the impure minds of the heathens that such a tradition came about.
Therefore, if you do the Christmas celebration, you fully acknowledge that it is solely based on the world’s tradition. It is solely based on what MAN says to do, not God. If you want to continue Christmas celebration, then don’t be a hypocrite and say it’s for Jesus, because it’s not! It’s for the world. Admit you are a heathen and carry on your heathen ways, but don’t you dare put yourself in the same category as the most High and all His people. We are not of the world. ~comment from Duh Enlightened One on a YT Video
The Devil’s felons always want you to “stop being God’s cop.”
But when it comes to false teachers, true love unleashes truth.
Matthew 5:17
Let us who have been redeemed at the cost of His precious blood be “good soldiers of Jesus Christ.” As the battle against the forces of evil waxes ever more hot, we have need for God-given valour.
It is NEVER going to be acceptable to a Holy God to offer Him rituals created for worship to demons, no matter what name or revisionist meaning we slap upon it.
He will absolutely refuse it, and most likely, if we continued trying to offer it after we have been made aware of the vile source, eventually we will invoke His righteous wrath.
Decide for yourself what you wish to do, but as for ME, I will attempt to please God as HE instructs, NOT through paganic traditions as I may desire.

Father, cause The X Mass Blog to be successful in its message against the practice of Christo-paganism in the Church and life of Your beloved children. Send souls who need to hear Your Word on the subject today. Open their eyes to the lies they are believing as truth for Your name’s sake. Strengthen those who are persecuted for standing on Your Word in forsaking that which You have not ordained for the worship of You. Let not my labors for Your Kingdom be in vain. Grant this website to bring You glory daily for as long as it exists, amen~

If the Lord be among us the consequences will be, first, the conservation of true doctrine. The true God is not with a lie: He will not give His countenance to falsehood. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
