Quietly Erasing the Birth of Christ: Denying the Greatest Event in the History of the World
PatriotandLiberty ^ | 2022 | Gary Bates

Posted on 09/09/2023 1:25:27 AM PDT by spirited irish

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed a quiet revolution taking place in most Western countries. For centuries, our calendar was based around the birth of Christ. The years before His birth were designated as BC (before Christ) and the years after His birth were designated AD (Latin meaning “Anno Domini” for “In the year of the Lord”).

The most blatant is referring to Christmas as Xmas

Research shows that the falling away began as far back as the Renaissance. From there it declared the death of God (Jesus Christ) during the Enlightenment and from that time has been spreading and tightening its hold over Christendom (now dead) and Protestant America (very nearly dead).

In tandem with the falling away, has been the reappearance of fallen angels and demons, the facilitators of the apostasy and teachers of the systematized ideologies, evolution as origin account, and all of the current poisons working within the minds of men.

Now what is weather warfare and DEW but the powers of ancient storm gods and goddesses. Weather warfare consists of power over earth, wind, fire, and water. DEW is power over energy. All of these powers were exercised by ancient storm gods and are now in the hands of the most wicked generation of Westerners and Americans ever known. Of course the wicked claim to be the inventors, but they really are not

Just my thoughts

Have you noticed the increasing use of lights and the term Illuminate vying with Christmas? Together they are sneaky New Age celebrations of the ‘enlightened,’ meaning initiates of modern mystery religions who have attained enlightenment or oneness with a pantheist ‘god’ such as Brahmin or Lucifer (New Age).

Here’s my theory. Since Satan doesn’t know when Jesus will return again, he works on every generation, to foment a great falling away. It does seem to me, that in the last few decades, he has been wildly successful. In the end, he will fail.

BC and AD is an important reference point, while “common era” means zilch to me and probably to a lot of others.

Think of the X in Xmas as a Greek Χ (Chi) rather than a Latin X and you've got the first letter of the Greek Χριστός (Christos).

For we Jews, BC and AD mean nothing but genocide and oppression.

I agree with your theory. Satan always has his “man” ready just in case.

Perhaps it is you who is too sensitive if you object to BCE and CE.

“X” is Greek for Christ so that one doesn’t bother me.

Your kids won’t know why that point in time was chosen to differentiate time unless you tell them.
But slowly that knowledge will be lost...just part of the plan.

They still have to bite their tongues every time they use that dumb BCE......because they know the what and why its there...Before Christ Existed

What disgusting arrogance.

You are in a majority Christian country that counts years from the birth of Jesus Christ. YOU deal with it.

BCE and CE don't even make fricking sense..."common" what?? What happened in AD 1 that made everything "uncommon" before it, and "common" after it? Huh? Tell me. I have Livy and Suetonius and Tacitus right on the shelf behind me---so I'd love to know.

Seems to me that years ago — like thirty — I read somewhere that the “X”mas thing wasn’t meant to be disrespectful.

The “X” was a symbol; for the cross, for illiterate people.
That it stood for something like “Christ’s Mass.”

I don’t know. I neither believe nor disbelieve that idea without some research, or at least a recognized source.

Personally, I find “Xmas” to be disrespectful, now-a-days.

Because Christians in general and whites specifically don’t fight.
