Whatever Happened to Christmas

We live in a society where it is OK to be offended by regligious symbols, but we must overlook actions such as blowing up innocent people in the name of religion.

Something is very wrong with this picture. A picture of the Nativity must be taken down, but never mind the folks who plant bombs to kill your children in the name of their god.

"I personally don't understand this"

Let me help you. It began by successfully removing daily prayer from public schools and this was like taking the leash off the hungry wolverine. Then it just devoured every Christian symbol in sight as people stood by and nodded, "Yeah, this is the American way - ain't separation of Church and State great?".

You take God out of the public and it leaves a huge vacuum. Guess who comes in to replace to loss? That other spiritual entity that has been swept from public awareness, Satan. It's as though God is saying to us, "Accept me into your lives and your society or take the alternative, there is no inbetween".

"Apart from me you can do nothing" (John 15:5)

Christmas has been XMASED away! Do we live such an abbreviated lifestyle of four own choice? I have watched essentially every effort to assianiate The Judeo Christian Ethic and now men and women with no backbone allow politicians and business people they work for to needle and intimidate them to the point of giving up and resigning the Glory of Jehova Gira's Birthday!

I know its not just me but it seems 1993 has ushered in an avalanche of Anti-God AKA Anti-Christian sentiment relegating everything HOLY Irreverent and Irrelevant as the World see it. This is but one more strike against us as a Nation; because the Bible clearly states that the Nation that forgets Jehovah Gira will be turned into HELL! If you are like many I have known over the years and have acquired the habit of abbreviating Christmas you would be very wise in reversing this habit immediately. Nobody should be this busy by Blaspheming the HOLY name of I AM's birth. There was a time the mere fact of speaking or breathing his name was rightly feared and reverenced. As a Gentile I know you see from certain righteous Jewish people this reverence still practised regularly; they abbreviate out fear and reverence not out of arrogance and stupidity! Christmas is our LORDS Birthday and deserves to be presented with reverence and a happy and joyious occasion!

Remind your boss and certainly every politician you meet its not happy holidays its Merry Christmas now and forever! Reserve the Holidays for New Year but keep Christ in Christmas after all Jesus Is Lord and He is the reason for The (CHRISTMAS)season! There! that was not so difficult was it? Do yourself a favor and change this bad habit; you have enough get right in your life; Remember its CHRISTMAS!

It wasn't so many years ago we'd have Hanukkah over at the cousins' house (decorated with a menorah and a Christmas tree) and then come over to our house for Christmas. Hey, double the presents! We'd all go to both temple and church. At that time no one thought anything about it. Sadly, they're starting to shun all Christmas celebrations and imo it's due to the media bashing of anything Christian.
