The word Christmas originated as a compound meaning (Christ, mass) first recorded in 1038. Christ — mass (the holy mass) Origins of Christmas can be traced as part of Babylon in Nimrod’s time, therrefore, purely pagan in origin. (Encyclopedia Britanica “Christmas”) It was according to many authorities not celebrated in the first centuries of the Christian Church.
“Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you,
O house of Israel: Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the
way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven;
for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the
people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the
work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails
and with hammers, that it move not. But the LORD is the
true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king:
at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall
not be able to abide his indignation” (Jer. 10:1-4,10).
CHRIST- MASS
When a false doctrine is established
from many generations ago,
men have no idea that it is a lie
unless some loving soul lets them know.
Christ’s blood is power, saves from hell’s fire.
Jesus paid the price for every sin.
We are redeemed from all corruption
if we truly, sincerely repent from within. (1 Pet. 1:18,19)
[Repent means to turn from sin and mean it.]
Christ’s blood alone washes our sins away
if we turn from sin to Jesus.
By grace through faith Christ paid our debt.
That’s how much Jesus loves us!
Now, man turned around and coined Christ-MASS.
Did not Christ’s blood alone suffice?
The Baltimore Catechism said that “mass”
is an unbloody sacrifice!”
[..plus the Baltimore catechism adds,
“ Mass was instituted by Christ to give grace” Not so!
A sacrifice without the blood, is not a sacrifice at all!
There’s no forgiveness without the blood,
therefore, no salvation at all! (Eph. 1:7; Col. 1:14)
It’s an abomination to delete Christ’s blood!
Christ’s sinless blood qualifies to save. (Heb. 9:7, 22)
And only His blood can redeem mankind. Simply said:
Jesus died, was buried, and rose from the grave!
Now, the Christ, the Anointed, God’s only Son
whom Father God sent from above,
gave to mankind grace to believe
this glorious Gift shows infinite love! (John 3 :16, 17)
If today you kneel with a sincere heart
because the Holy Spirit helped you to understand,
then thank our Father for Jesus’ blood
and pray for the courage to take a stand.
