It is a sad day in church history when wiccans, pagans and atheists have more light on this subject than Christians. The church has been given over to the
occult line upon line, precept upon precept. It has relegated "Truth" to just a matter of anyone's opinion. It didn't beware. Jesus, said, "If you will, I will..." and "I would have gathered you, ... but ye would not." What a tragedy! He tries to restore Truth to the deceived Church but it just says, No. Paul said,
Ac 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. The church gave the wolves pulpit time and voting rights and said all those who disagree with the majority opinion must be false. They point to how loving they can be because they have befriended wolves and sinners of every sort and are just tolerant of sinful behavior. They crucify afresh the Son of G~d and put him to an open shame.
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Isa 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Mt 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
You are assuming what you are trying to prove. Christmas did not become a Christian holiday because Christianity was infiltrated by wiccans, pagans, and atheists. In this case it was not society that infiltrated Christianity but rather Christianity that infiltrated society. The early Christians took a major festive holiday of the pagans, threw out all of its trappings, changed its meaning, and effectively made it into a Christian holiday for the sake of evangelization.
As I had shown, the Christmas Tree does not come from the ancient pagan tradition of worshipping trees, but rather as a refutation of that. The Christmas tree itself came to represent Christ Himself. It is true that certainly parts of the holiday have been re-paganized over the course of the last century. "Santa Claus", as we have him today, is not representative of the traditional observation of the holiday. Neither is the gross materialism that society tends to relish in at this time of year. However, as much as one may rightfully hate these corruptions, it cannot be denied that the birth of Christ (the very incarnation of God here on earth) ought to be celebrated and recognized. If you can recognize this fact, what does it matter upon which day it is done? It really ought to be done on a day that has been traditionally equated with reverence and festivities.
Christmas is not a sign of submission on the part of Christians to the powers of the occult. To say so is sadly misguided and it is my duty as your brother Christian to correct you for saying so. It is, rather, a celebration of something quite holy that truly ought to be celebrated. To deny this is to deny the significance of Christ's life here on earth and is ultimately to deny the importance of our very salvations. God has become man and has lived among us. If this is unimportant, what can be termed important?
