Wish it was but it isn't the Lord's birthday. December 25th, what we call Christmas is a caldera full of pagan rites, Pope Gregory XIII calendar "witching" and Catholic assimilation of paganism. Then adopted by Protestants. These days it's all about money-making but paganism remains at its core. We see it in such forms as elves, wreaths, mistletoe, the holly along with the use of red and green colors, Santa Claus who despite the Catholic tradition of being based on a real St. Nicholas, is really a representation of Odin, the Norse all-father god. Gift giving is a Roman tradition associated with a feast in honor of the god Saturn. Caroling is associated with songs sung at the Winter Solstice festival. There's more but you get the idea. HOWEVER, most folks don't want to know this for fear it will muck up the commercialism built around the holiday. Though some mention resentment of things like Christmas advertisements and other enticements as early as pre-Thanksgiving and sometimes as early as October's Halloween. It's all about money-making, not Jesus. So, Merry Chri$tma$. It really would be nice if it was more Jesus-centered even if not His actual birthday.

He is a communist on this board. He acts just like Fidel Castro. If you get out of line or post something off-color he will do just like Castro and make you disappear.... It's really not hard to see the resemblances of the 2. Castro - ruled his nation with a machine gun, Freak rules volnation with a mouse and keyboard.

HAHA! Totally kidding.

Merry Christmas to all!

I am not Pentecostal. But what I stated is not False. You our welcome for yourself to study. Christmas is man made holiday. All I am doing is wanting to put into perspective why we celebrate in this world Christmas.

I am Pentecostal and have NEVER handled a snake. Spreading untruths about a particular denomination is worse to me than celebrating a man-made holiday. If you don't want to celebrate Christmas-then don't. But before you go bad-mouthing a denomination that is not your own, you might want to get your facts straight.

This is also true. I'm just scarred by a couple of really, really late Christmas Eves with a screwdriver, 5,000 little pieces, and poorly-written instruction manuals.

I believe if you researched Pentecostal and snake handling you will find were several preachers have died from this. No it's not apart of most congregations but it was at several.
