Jesus asked me not to celebrate Christmas but to focus on the appointed feasts of the Bible. God's appointed times to come to us and for us to show our commitment to Him.
Amennnn same

Have lots of respect for David pawson very good teacher very well educated on lots of different subjects GOD bless him
David put some very true and interesting points here that we can all learn.
No,he's not for money nor does he twist the scriptures like many pastors do.
Rip Great man David Pawson
Come out of Babylone my people said He whom I love 💕
thank you, i did not know this. but now i do. yes we should focus on the appointed times in the bible. and I am getting to know what they are. RIP David Pawson.
He was truly gifted in teaching! If you are interested in the feasts, there is also Michael Rood who spent forty years in Israel studying the word and through working with Hebrew scholars (and the Lords blessing) he released the chronological gospels where he uses the feasts to put in order the timeline of Jesus ministry. It’s beyond eye opening, highly recommend it. God bless you!
You would be amazed at the hunger there is world wide - believers seeking the Truth because of not being fed or what they are being fed by the churches they attend
- the Lord is good, His truth endures to all generations Psalm 100 …… seek and you will find but ask the Lord for discernment - it’s not what men teach - but what you will find if you search Gods word 🙏
Wow thanks Pastor Pawson,that was an eye opener
this is such an eye opener. thank you David. and thank God for letting me see this and know the truth!
It's not true. Most of these 'ancient' customs do not go back any further that Victorian times. People are just looking at the slightest similarities and putting two and two together and making five. It doesn't matter when the church had chosen to celebrate the birth of Jesus someone would have siad that they were taking hte same date as some idol or other. they probably had an idol for every day of the year.
Christ did not tell us anywhere in the gospel to celebrate His birth. HE did say, to do this
(1 Cor 11: 23-26) as often as we would. This is a truth our Holy Sovereign GOD will not be polluted with this pitiful excuse for the birth of a KING. If you want the truth you will find it, if not the truth will still stand. If you don't want to delve deep just get you an encyclopedia or dictionary.e@@watchman4todayreloaded192
We had 31 people come to Christ at our church at Christmas. We had 3100 people in attendance many who were never in a church before. Christmas is a great opportunity to share the good news of Christ. Yes we know December25th is most likely not Christ's real birthday. What bothers me about modern Christmas is that it's commercialism and it has become nothing more than to sell junk. Christmas is a great opportunity to share the love of Christ.
It's a catholic celebration of the mother and child image with the pagan festival of the winter solstice!
SATURNALIA Festival...
Pagan to the core.
@@truthseeker7211 All caps is shouting
Very eloquently put, very wise.
I haven't celebrated or done anything on Christmas the last two to three years and I will not ever again it's almost like a nut in my spirit of knowing that's wrong when I celebrate it
So brilliant I had to tweet it this morning. There are many videos out there when I searched for ‘The Truth About Christmas’ and yours was the only one I trusted to be true. God bless you ✝️. Now to watch Pt 2 👍🏾
Agreed! The other one is the chronological gospels by Michael Rood. He also has videos on Christina’s through UA-cam. Ministry is a Rood Awakening. He spent four years of his life researching in Israel and working with Hebrew scholars, truly has the gift of knowledge from the Lord like David Pawson
Such a great information!
All WORLDLY unholy holi-days are of the WORLD. It is good to acknowledge The Truth and come OUT from among them. Don't love what YOU believe, LOVE The Truth.
Including, X mas (winter solstice / festival, halloween (obviously wicked) and easter, which is a celebration of the pagan spring festival and not Biblically celebrated by God's people, but pagans.
Celebrate Jesus Christ
EVERY day. Not one day over another. 👣💞👣👣👣💞
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD.
Thank you for the video, in my view we should not teach the pagan ways and the Roman-catholic church is mainly pagan and has signs of babylon. I stopped celebrating christmas, it was hard because of my parents but the Christ said he will bring sword, not peace. May the God bless those who want to have loyalty to Christ and keep God's commandments.
you speak as if God actually meant 'Come out of Babylon' or something. :P
I stopped Christmas, in 1993, by the urging of the Holy Ghost. I didn't know why but I felt it was wrong. It was much later that I researched and discovered the true meaning and read Jeremiah 10. then I discovered Matthew 15, mainly the 6th verse. and then I discovered info such as is on this web page. www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1132.cfm. It is a wonderful sense of freedom in Christ when you let the world's way go. I pray that all of God's true children will purify their souls by resisting all of satan's deceptions
@@acts10truth
When it's all said and done, is there an implication for those who adore and celebrate Christmas? What does it mean for the churches which meet on Christmas day, Christian families and individuals? The eternal punishment and implications for those who celebrate Halloween seems more clearer to me. Should it be perceived the same way?
@@acts10truth
So simply put, will people lose their salvation for celebrating Christmas?
@@paaku415 the answer is a resounding NO. But it is more of following Jesus and his teachings and pleasing Him. We are all guilty of many pleasures etc and it is a journey to get commercialisation consumerism and falsehood out of our system. Let God guide you as you seek Him . Shalom
Romans 4:8
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
1 Peter 1:9
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
It makes one wonder, just how much corruption has been taught to us through the generations? I'm sure most of us have whispered something into a classmate's ear, and by the time it gets back around the classroom, the story has completely changed. That's the way we've done Christianity, and that's why many of the churches today have become barren and fruitless. God's people will have to come back to the pure Word of God.
Wow
Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
The translation may change a bit, but the gist is there :-)
I haven't done Christmas for years. To tell the truth the only holiday stipulated on this date is in the book of maccabees "Chanukah celebrated the 25th of the month of Kislev, which corresponds to December 25. Even the pagans know that this holiday is pagan. I spoke about it ago. years to my pastor but he did not want to know. Finally by preaching the birth of Jesus on that date (and saying that they know very well that it is not on that date that he was born) they do not only finally preach a lie. One day I came across this verse when I left this feast "Jeremiah 10.2 2 Thus says the Lord: Do not imitate the way of the nations, And do not be afraid of the signs from heaven, because the nations fear them. 3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity. Wood is cut in the forest; The workman's hand works it with the ax; 4 They adorn it with silver and gold, and fasten it with nails and hammers, so that it does not shake. "It's so obvious when you read this passage ... it's even unbelievable when I think about it ... If it's not clear to everyone ... Ask people to celebrate Christmas on September 25 for example !!! Just like the passage in Revelation about which Pawson speaks "I was delighted (delighted is not in Greek) in spirit on the day of the Lord (Lord is indeed an adjective, and means Sunday in Greek kurianos). This day referred to the moment when he speaks of it to the fact that this day was the day when Domitian ordered that each person prostrate in some way before his statue and that of Julius Caesar saying "this is the day of the Lord" Domitian took himself for a god ... and when I see how we interpreted it..In fact John himself said in the previous verse that he was their companion in suffering, in fact he was thinking of them that day because he knew that several brothers and sisters were going to perish because they would not bow down to this statue ... Ditto for Christmas, it is the undefeated sun ... We have taken up so much the Roman and Greek traditions ... scares ... unfortunately many are much more attached to traditions than to the Scriptures
Christsmas was celebrated by the earliest Christians - the ones who were tortured for their faith by the pagan Roman Empire.
@@proudhon100 where in the bible can you show me this? I'll wait..... It is not there, unfortunately christians are not willing to let go of their idol: Christmas!
@@flocof1 There is nothing in the Bible about computers. Maybe you should consider ceasing to post nonsense on the internet because the Bible doesn't give you permission.
@@proudhon100 LOl...that's all you've got? Do you realise how ridiculous you sound?
Nadia Puissant, you are absolutely right my sister..
Christmas celebration should be encouraged and viewed through the bible teaching. It is one very loud call to all mankind to return to God. We all have become prodigals and truly have an urgent need to come home to our Creator. Do not worry, no matter how you are plastered with that smelly pig mud (sin), the Father is extremely gracious, He will (guaranteed 100%) welcome you back! He traveled from His throne to the cross seeking for you. Come home. He has a beautiful robe and a beautiful crown to give you. With all your stench, His precious blood will cleanse you whiter than snow. Come home, please!
The bible instructs us on what exactly it wants us to do, there is in no way, shape or form God mentions for us to celebrate Christmas. God is infallible.
@@BG-lo1vi So true. We are not to mix the Holy with the profane. The LORD hates man’s traditions. He has nothing to do with their doctrines.

Celebrating Christmas is PAGAN!
I actually hate Christmas and ever since I was a teenager. I wish it was banned completely. All the stress of Christmas is not worth it.
I know what you mean. I feel depressed and physically tired starting the month of November. And a great teacher once told me that we live in the physical, emotional and spiritual dimentions if you will and whatever manifestation happens in one, effects all of your "being" and you can easily effect the people around you aswell. For example when your physical body becomes sick your spirititual body becomes weak aswell. So because of all the Spiritual attacks during this time of the year on all of God's children, we have to stay strong and put on the full armor of the Lord because every spiritual blow weakens us in every dimention of our being.
It's up to you what you make of Christmas, stressed are only those who make it to be stressful. We celebrate Christmas in our family and I do not feel it as a stressful time at all, because I have made this choice. We are farmers, we do fire, we are thankful for what we have, children believe in Father Christmas, we decorate our house with ivy, holy and fir and we do lots of other things, that make us happy. And when the house smells of frankincense and the fire is on and we kiss under mistletoe, we are happy to be safe and together. We buy Christmas Tree in pot and then we plant it on our farm. We buy wooden toys and lots of books and burn lots of candles. It's about our family, not others. If you don't have any one, to make Christmas special, don't do it.
@@terezamarie6471 So your children honour Father Christmas more than Jesus? Life is about Jesus, not us (1 Corinthians 2:2)
@@Anon4280 I did not say that. Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus.
I felt such relief and liberation when I stopped celebrating it!
Jesus declared himself as lord , look to him only , for he is the life , the way and the truth .
It's called deception within 'the church' which should never be. 😔
If open deception and following in this tradition, be careful there is likely more you may be unaware of.
You're right.

It used to be a law not to celebrate you’d go to jail . Puritan law
Indeed 1849 a tradition of pagan worship was adopted
Psalms 37:12
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
Romans 3:18
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Clearly this verse in Psalms 37:12 is brought to pass in Romans 3:18 the fact the wicked plot against the just and gnasheth upon him with his teeth brethren reveals they have no fear of God before their eyes at all.

It was King George vi who quoted the poem about putting your hand in the hand of God and not King George v.
Christ is a title meaning ‘anointed one’ according to the Greek word Christos from which the English takes it from. Translated into Hebrew Christ means Messiah. Christ is a title that is associated with Yeshua or Jesus as it is translated in the Greek. The anointed one is commonly known to have been part of the prophecy associated with Jesus of the bible though throughout the bible and ancient times there were many who were anointed, as to anoint refers to the rubbing oil as part of a religious ceremony. In many churches today people are being anointed with oil just as they were being in ancient times.
Therefore, to refer to one as anointed without associating the anointing with a name the title is open to be interpreted as being associated with whoever is making the association. For example, the name king is also a title but unless one refers to a person then the title is open to be applied to whoever one feels appropriate to give it to, whether that person is royalty or otherwise.
The work Christmas is not biblical and does not appear anywhere in the bible, though Christians associate the word Christmas with the celebration that we all know to be on the 25th December. Christians also know that this is the time we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus, The Christ, the anointed one, who was anointed by The Holy Spirit at His water baptism hosted by John The Baptist.
However, if we break down the word Christmas, which we can unequivocally recognise is not a biblical word; that is, it does not appear in the bible, and take a closer look, we will see that what we actually verbalise we are celebrating is the ‘the anointed one’s mass’. The word ‘mass’ is a lengthening of the word ‘mas’ and is derived from the Latin word ‘missa’ which is where we get the word ‘dismiss’, however that said, over time, the word mas has altered its meaning and, as well as lengthening in term from ‘mas’ to ‘mass’, it now translates as ‘large group’. I must stress at this time that even in Jesus’ time he was referred to under many different titles, Rabbi, Master, Teacher, My Lord, and he did not challenge any of these titles as I believe that He may have looked at the heart of those who were making the references. So, when we say Christmas in reference to the celebration of Him He may not be offended by what we say as He looks at our heart. It is what we say and do which bears significance.
That said, from the billions of people who celebrate Christmas, many of them atheists or of other faiths, or from Christian faiths, many will revere Christmas as in what appears to be a non-Christian terminology, because the word Christmas, being a non-biblical word in its own right, is a celebration which has rituals associated with it that go back to antiquity.
It is well documented that the 25th December was celebrated with gifts, feasts, evergreen fir trees, yule logs, mistletoe, and gods (Odin amongst others) riding on horse-drawn carts through the night sky. In the Bible, Jeremiah verse 10 refers to a tree being cut out of the forest and decorated with gold and silver. The text strongly advises against followers of YHWH to behave in this manner as the heathens do.
Furthermore, when one considers that Christmas, being a word in its own right, actually has a head referred to as a father, the reference to Jesus becomes more distant from the intended use of the non-biblical word to narrate a biblical event. As said, I believe that Jesus sees our hearts and intercedes for us with YHWH The father, however this head of Christmas, the father of Christmas, has clearly stated his name and most of the world knows this name as santa clause aka ‘FATHER CHRISTMAS’. When one considers the personification of this figures omnipresence in delivering presents to all, the personification of this figures imagery on TV and media, the personification of this figure in the hearts and minds of children and adults alike, the personification of this figure in our homes, the references to this figure over and above the reference of Jesus in society at the time of celebration, it becomes more evident that the amalgamation of celebrations both Christian and pagan are rooted in something more sinister than is first apparent. Then one has to consider the lead character of the celebration known as father Christmas. He is said to have been derived from St Nicholas, also known as Nicholas of Myra, a Turkish priest who was revered for giving gifts to poor and deprived children.
Historical depictions of St Nicholas contrast the character of the Father Christmas that we have come to know; a pale white bearded tubby man in a red suit with a red bag who rides a sleigh across the sky and delivers gifts to all, accessing homes via a chimney. One only has to look at the pagan celebrations of Saturnalia and Yule to see the resemblance or the Saturn god, the Yule god, and the current day santa clause. The Yule god, Odin, was said to have ridden through the skies on a horse drawn carriage similar to how reindeer are said to carry santa in today’s mythical story and has long white hair with a long white beard. Similarly the Saturn god has the same features. It is evident therefore that the reference to the anointed one is actually intended for some other deity associated with the ‘father’ of the ‘anointed one’s mass’ and that father appears to be santa clause. What is even more sinister is that the word santa can be seen as an anagram of the word satan.
Revelation 12 v 9: And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth
Could this be one of the deceptions where the whole world is deceived? Are we giving power to this character by revering the character annually with such favour, love, and pagan ritual; evergreen fir tree, giving of presents to each other, mistletoe, feasting, drinking?
The giving of gifts is taken from the nativity where the wise men were said to have brought precious gift before the new born king so we tend to give presents to each other at this time of year even though we are celebrating the birth of Jesus. This appears to be contrary to the giving of gifts to each other on our birthdays as we do not tend to give any gifts to Jesus on the day that we set aside to celebrate His birthday. If we wish to give gifts to Jesus on the day we set aside to celebrate His birth I would suggest that we consider what He said in the book of Matthew about how helping the naked, imprisoned, hungry, was like doing unto Him, and this was how the goats were separated from the sheep. Should we therefore be giving gifts unto these?
To deceive someone is to deliberately cause that person to believe something that is not true, for your own personal gain. Therefore, whatever one wants to believe about the authenticity of their actions this can be contrary to what effect their actions have and how it benefits the deceiver. If you gave me £1000 to help the poor and I used it to fuel my own gain you maybe blessed for your intentional heart but your lack of knowledge may have led to the fuelling of unrighteousness. The History of Saturnalia, it’s rituals, and the need for the Roman emporer to adjoin its festivities with the birth of Jesus is well documented but few Christians appear to research or acknowledge the pagan practises that are entwined with the celebration.
Revelation 12 v 9 calls that old dragon ‘a deceiver’ and a deceiver of the whole world.
From the Garden of Eden the deceit was truth mixed with lies and this appears to be the same today. Easter is riddled with similar connotation.
yawn.
All I say Jesus was born and the kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdoms of this world and of His Christ...

@Plisken65 Coreect! Thank heavens that God knows our heart and what we mean. So if what we mean when we celebrate christmas is celebrating the coming of Jesus Christ then great! No problem, in my view. But we must be aware of what the world means by christmas and take care not to be of the world, but in it.

All true,
If Jesus would want us to celebrate his birthday, he would have let us Christians know.
But actually Christmas came the word ''Christ-Mass'',
True Christian should never celebrate it because it is not of God.
Why dont churches teach the truth
Its a very good question
- the church is full of traditions ......which they choose to to uphold
Snow on the hills of Palestinian Not iseral.
December 25 birth of Christ proof:
Saint Luke reports that Zacharias served in the “course of Abias” (Lk 1:5) which Scripture records as the eighth course among the twenty-four priestly courses (Neh 12:17). Each shift of priests served one week in the temple for two times each year. The course of Abias served during the eighth week and the thirty-second week in the annual cycle. However, when did the cycle of courses begin?
Josef Heinrich Friedlieb has convincingly established that the first priestly course of Jojarib was on duty during the destruction of Jerusalem on the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av. Thus the priestly course of Jojarib was on duty during the second week of Av. Consequently, the priestly course of Abias (the course of Saint Zacharias) was undoubtedly serving during the second week of the Jewish month of Tishri-the very week of the Day of Atonement on the tenth day of Tishri. In our calendar, the Day of Atonement would land anywhere from September 22 to October 8.
Zacharias and Elizabeth conceived John the Baptist immediately after Zacharias served his course. This entails that Saint John the Baptist would have been conceived somewhere around the end of September, placing John’s birth at the end of June, confirming the Catholic Church’s celebration of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist on June 24.
The second-century Protoevangelium of Saint James also confirms a late September conception of the Baptist since the work depicts Saint Zacharias as High Priest and as entering the Holy of Holies-not merely the holy place with the altar of incense. This is a factual mistake because Zacharias was not the high priest, but one of the chief priests. , the Protoevangelium regards Zacharias as a high priest and this associates him with the Day of Atonement, which lands on the tenth day of the Hebrew month of Tishri (roughly the end of our September). Immediately after this entry into the temple and message of the Archangel Gabriel, Zacharias and Elizabeth conceive John the Baptist. Allowing for forty weeks of gestation, this places the birth of John the Baptist at the end of June-once again confirming the Catholic date for the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist on June 24.
The rest of the dating is rather simple. We read that just after the Immaculate Virgin Mary conceived Christ, she went to visit her cousin Elizabeth who was six months pregnant with John the Baptist. This means that John the Baptist was six months older that our Lord Jesus Christ (Lk 1:24-27, 36). If you add six months to June 24 you get December 24-25 as the birthday of Christ. Then, if you subtract nine months from December 25 you get that the Annunciation was March 25. All the dates match up perfectly. So then, if John the Baptist was conceived shortly after the Jewish Day of the Atonement, then the traditional Catholic dates are essentially correct. The birth of Christ would be about or on December 25.
Sacred Tradition also confirms December 25 as the birthday of the Son of God. The source of this ancient tradition is the Blessed Virgin Mary herself. Ask any mother about the birth of her children. She will not only give you the date of the birth, but she will be able to rattle off the time, the location, the weather, the weight of the baby, the length of the baby, and a number of other details.
I’m the father of six blessed children, and while I sometimes forget these details-mea maxima culpa-my wife never does. You see, mothers never forget the details surrounding the births of their babies.
Most churches have a christmas tree
They do but not all - if yours does please do explain to your church leaders that they are bringing a false pagan idol into a holy place
The origin of christmas is not as David Pawson say an English celebration called yuletide. It is correct that it is a pagan celebration of a god where pagans in this part of the year took to the forest to find a goodly tree, cut it down and brought the tree to their village, erected an altar for their god of the season, and put the tree on their altar and decorated it with colorful whatevers and did their merrimaking dances and rituals there. Animal sacrifices were made to the god of time which culminate in a wintery sadness and re-emerged in the happiness of spring beginning. The catholic, which enjoined paganism and christianity in the hope of christianizing the pagan, named the celebration christmas, a combination of the words christ and mass (masses of people, Christians and pagans celebrating together Christ and season). Later, the added days through January 6 was to connect the theorized arrival of the three magi (they call them from the word magicians because these were to them astrologers). These were actually three real kings signifying the lordship of Jesus Christ as King of kings, with their gifts of signification Christ Jesus's nobility, communion with God and His death for you and me. This in short is the background story of this christmas celebration. Nevertheless, it reminds everyone that Someone (Jesus Christ) came and gave His life as ransom for the sin bound mankind. Those that believe and hear and obey Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Amen.
Most of the world celebrate christmas, and the world hates the real Jesus Christ and His disciples pure Gospels.
Am from India
Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ which is Immanuel, God with us, Jesus saves us from our sins.
In Deuteronomy God says you shall not worship me the way the pagans worship their gods. That’s what Christmas is! It’s the darkest day of the year and it was a day they celebrated pagan god birthdays.
Even more importantly, it takes away from knowing the true birthday and the significant of him being born when he was which was during the feast of tabernacles held during the fall. “The word became flesh and tabernacled among us.” Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-18 that he was not there to abolish the law (original translation was Torah) or prophets but to fulfill the law and prophets. Until heaven and earth pass away, not one iota or one comma will go away until all had been fulfilled”
What was he saying? How did he fulfill the law and the prophets? Part of knowing this is understanding how Jesus fulfilled (and will continue to when he reigned) the Torah and prophecies so we can understand and witness to others why we know he was the Messiah.
In Hosea God said my people were destroyed for the lack of knowledge. In this generation more than ever it’s important that we can have an answer for our faith which is also in the Bible.
God bless you and your understanding!!
is he santa?
Seriously? Must be a lonely time during the month of December.
I've never heard of gender reversal during Xmas where a dude acts like a chick and a chick acts like a dude.
Puritanism. Christmas is a worthy festival.
Whether it is worthy or not ........make sure what you celebrate, say and sing is Biblical
@@DavidPawsonMinistry The offering does not sanctifies the altar, but the altar sanctifies the offering. So, no. Not through the unbelievers way, but by worshiping the Lord our God in the spirit, for He Is a Spirit. Been born again is to bury the natural man and having the spiritual man be born. That is the first resurrection. All that have been born of the Spirit, has had their first resurrection.

How ridiculous to say Christmas is not Christian but began before Christ. The clue is in the name CHRIST MASS. It celebrates Jesus Christ and relates to the Eucharist/Holy Communion. Not paganism.
Think about it. Everything he mentioned in the video, are these christmassy things even in the bible? No. Everything besides O Holy Night, are pagan. Look at the lyrics of 12 days of christmas, santa claus is coming to town, open your eyes to see these are not related to Jesus’s birth at all, just as the guy mentioned in the video! True we are to acknowledge Christmas essentially as the birth of God’s greatest gift to man, His Son. Not anything else. Not the decor. Not the tree. Not the mainstream songs that speak nothing of Jesus. “Have yourself a merry little christmas.. make the yuletide gay” ?!?!
@@shaniajustina The tree and decor and candles can all be based on the Bible. Just santa is obviously a myth which has nothing to do with Christmas (originated sometime in the 16th century). Surprisingly I don't know any Christian who mentions Santa on Christmas. Weird, huh?
Nowhere in the Bible mention Jesus birthday being in December and God has NOT commanded us to celebrate it.
@@debbyjackson9401 The Lord Jesus Christ established His Church, and His Apostles in the Bible told Christians not to forsake the gathering themselves together to worship Christ, and the bishops of the Church were given the responsibility for organizing the gatherings for worship and the occasions for those. The Spirit of God has guided the Church in organizing the activities of the Church. He did not just leave the Bible and say to individuals of every generation, "over to you, just organize your worship and life any way that pleases you, without regard to what my Church has been led by Me to do". Anyone who derides the celebration of the Incarnation of the Word of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, has something wrong with them spiritually.
@@anselman3156 I realize this is an old conversation, but it looks like a topic worthy of diving into deeper. Do you know who celebrated birthdays in the Bible? We are to fellowship, but what you shared with @debbyjackson9401 is a bit twisted in organizing the gatherings for worship. Where is that in scripture? In the days of the apostle, many would meet in a house and would meet daily to sharpen each other. We no longer have a "church" since the church is the bride of Christ. There are more informative videos about pagan holidays than this one. Sorry Mr. Pawson. However, those that don't want to know Truth, will be blind to His Truth. God's Truth is more important than traditions. Jesus chastised the Jews for their many traditions. We need to be obedient to God, not man.
He's just getting rich out of you, you fools.
Eddy Kelly By being paid to teach? You dont agree with paying knowledgable teachers? Get real
@@UltraAar Actually Carl is right. Matthew 10:8 "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give". Amen and Amen. Whoever sells the teachings of God and writes books thereof of their own interpretation, to become rich is a false profit and does not know the Word of God. He is serving Manon. Jesus tells us to live humbly. And Jesus himself did become angry when people sold things in the church. I agree with Carl. But I also believe that through the Holy Spirit inside of us and by knowing and studying the word of God, we are able to take in everything and keep the good and keep the truth and let everything else go. We are able to see the truth and the lies and we get to choose which path we take.
@@meganteixeira4524 The scriptures make provisions for those who share or teach the word to be compensated. Pastor Pawson is not a false teacher, he passionately shares the word that he surely took time to learn.He contends for the truth and help equips the saints to do likewise. I see no reason why he should not be compensated.
Others asked him to make a book. If his teachings stirs your soul to a closer devotion to the living God, praise GOD He's working in your heart and mind. If you have a critical spirit, who's your father?
