From time to time I see a post on
my Facebook news feed that speaks to me even if the writer did not have me in
mind when they posted it. While, for the most part, I can move on with just a
passing glance, ever so often I see one that resonate in my spirit and I have
to speak on it. Recently I saw one that
took issue with someone who no longer celebrated Christmas. The writer pretty
much stated they would continue the practice of celebrating Christmas as their
parents and ancestors have done for years. Can't really blame them for their
views/belief because they don't know any better. Truth is all of us are guilty
of celebrating lots of holidays or engaging in some practice ignorantly because
it is what we know. After all, it's what we saw our parents and grandparents
do, so we continue it without thoughts of its origin. Thus continuing the
tradition. However it's that ignorance of the origin that keeps us enslaved and
out of YHVH Elohiym's will for us. Truth is if we took the time to really think
about these practices and why we do them, we would realize that they were given
to our ancestors by the people who took us into slavery. But it goes even
deeper than that.
Researching the subject of religion
and/or those practices will reveal an even darker, sinister origin. The
information I have uncovered supports that we have been lied to as a people on
a whole on who we are, and whose we are. Our history has been rewritten to hide
the truth - that we are in fact the descendants of the Hebrew Israelites, that
scripture documents, were enslaved in Egypt. This information is now being
supported not just from a biblical prospective (read Deuteronomy 28), but also
from a historical perspective. There are
literally hundreds of documented literature and videos available that
validates this fact. Scripture tells us that we perish for a lack of knowledge
- "My people are destroyed for lack
of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that
you shall be no priest to me: seeing you have forgotten the Torah (law) of your
ELOHIYM, I will also forget your children". Husha/Hosea 4:6 (The Cepher)
I too rejected the knowledge that
Christmas was not about the Messiah when it was first presented to me. Why?
Because it threatened the very core foundation of my belief. All my life Jesus
was the reason for the season. To denounce Christmas was like denouncing Jesus.
I could not do that. Both my grandmothers would turn over in their graves if I
did that. So I continued the tradition, but ever so often someone would drop a
seed which resonate in my spirit, like "did you know there was no 'J' in
the English language before [the year] 1611?" Or "did you know the
bible was originally written in Hebrew then translated to Greek, then Latin and
there were words in Hebrew that could not be translated so substitutions for
those words were made?" Or "have you ever heard of Emperor Constantine
or the Council of Nicea and their role
in religion as you know it today?" Oh and my personal favorite, "do
you know how much the Catholic church and King James influenced Christianity
and the changes they made to scriptures by changing or omitting books of the
bible?" Over time it got to the point my curiosity was peaked enough to be
opened to explore those seeds I had collected, especially when they tend to
overlap. Finally I got the courage to look into it more deeply. It's like that Buddhist proverb that says,
"when the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Everything I
had experienced, read or heard was preparing me for what would be the biggest
change in my life. It set the tone for the psychological change my mentally was
about to embark on. The knowledge that I came into not only answered the
questions I had about what I was taught about the Messiah, but also confirmed
the things I challenged before. Line by line, precept upon precept the truth
unfolded before me. It was exciting and scary all at the same time, but I knew
I was on the right path as my spirit quaked within me and I started seeing
manifestations of things in my life as I restored order by first repenting and
reconciling myself back to YHVH ELOHIYM.
So No, I don't celebrate Christmas
ANYMORE because I have been enlightened about the misinformation that was
passed down to me and my ancestors by those who took us captive. I now know,
not just believe, that the Messiah was not born on December 25th, nor was his
name ever Jesus. Nimrod and Tammuz, along with other pagan gods are who were
born on December 25th and it is their birthdays that the world celebrates on
December 25th under the guise of celebrating the Messiah. Scripture cautions us
to not follow the world. "Hear the
word which יהוה speaks to you, O house of Yisra’ĕl. Thus said יהוה, “Do not
learn the way of the nations, and do not be awed by the signs of the heavens,
for the nations are awed by them. “For the laws of these peoples are worthless,
for one cuts a tree from the forest, work for the hands of a craftsman with a
cutting tool. “They beautify it with silver and gold, they strengthen it with
nails and hammers so that it does not topple. Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 10:1-4

I admonish you to seek truth for
yourself. Don't just do what you do because it is what you have been
taught/modeled. Seek answers to the unformulated questions about why you do
what you do. I am reminded of a story I read some time ago. A mother was in the
kitchen preparing dinner. She cut off both sides of the roast before putting it
in the roasting pan. Her young daughter who observed the act asked her mother
why she cut off the ends of the roast especially since it was meaty and
appeared good for consumption. The mother responded, "I don’t know. It's
what I saw my mother do every time she prepared a roast." Puzzled the
young girl goes into the livingroom where her grandmother was watching tv.
"Grandma" the girl said, "why do you cut the ends off the roast
before putting it in the pan?" "I don't know," the grandmother
responded without even thinking about it. "It's what I saw my mother do
when she prepares a roast." So the young girl called her great grandmother
on the phone and poses the same question. The response she got was, "because
it was too big for the pan!" Moral
of the story, don't just do things because you see others doing it. Find out
why they do it. I’m Just Saying. I got
issues – what about you?
