@UCb5k68CyD93bZGB5ymli-kA its cool to celebrate it but we dont need to as Christians. No day is "Holy" they are all named after pagan Gods and events. Everyday is the Lord's day in Christ...we have the best covenant!!!
People are judging me so hard for not celebrating Christmas this year. It's persecution at its finest. I at first had a difficult time dealing with this. Then I thought to myself how will o deal with real persecution if I can't handle this? Does it even matter what they say,no! It matters what Yah thinks:) thank u for this video
Kasey Camplin The Christmas Spirit is strong, and many are under that influence. They had Christmas stuff in my local grocery store before Halloween! I believe it truly is an issue of witchcraft
Kasey Camplin Making a decision now to stand for truth now will strengthen you to stand when even worse persecution comes. I made declaration and repented to God, my friends, family and church for past participation in pagan practices. The peace of God overwhelmed me and I AM FREE. I love my God and Savior Jesus Christ and want to worship in spirit and in TRUTH. Continue to be encouraged to stand in these days.
I took the decision just now not celebrate Christmas. My kids are not happy with me. They think I'm too radical....no more Halloween, no more Christmas.... Tried to explain but it's difficult
Amen. Most Christians don't get it. Santa MOCKS God, the Christmas tree is an idol. Why would any Christian teach their children to LIE which is an abomination to God? Nothing about it is OF GOD. They call Sunday the Lord's day when every day is. I pray the Church wakes up. God Bless
The whole santa tradition always bothered me... Its like forcing kids to be good and act nice, so they can have presents and be rewarded Rather than being good and nice out of their hearts...do yall get what i mean? If u wanna gift your child then thats cool, but why make pressure them into fake-kindness?
If we want to be separate from the world as Jesus said, these pagan, satanic customs will be thrown out. We cannot have one foot on the narrow path and one foot on the broad. It is either one or the other. We either follow Jesus teachings or we don't, it's as simple as that.
@@jaredboscarino4256 My brother, put Christ first and all others behind... it's very difficult at times, but pleasing Him is what matters most... blessings!!!
David Miles, he mentioned more proof Jesus was born in September, not Dec. My personal believe is if God wanted his Sons birthday celebrated we would have been given the date. People say Merry Christmas, but how often do we actually talk about Jesus while "celebrating" His birthday.
What you are saying in this video is exactly what I've been telling people, and they look at me like I'm crazy! Yes, I am! I'm crazy for my Jesus! I'm saved through my faith in Jesus, not Santa, aka Satan! You go, dude!
I just want to say that it is very courageous of you to speak of the truth from the Holy Bible.... Many are blinded by false doctorine from many false teachers... It is not an easy road to travel the way that Jesus wants us to travel.. But it is the only true way.. We are dirt beneath his feet, but he still loves us and forgives us... Keep True to our LORD, for he is the only way to salvation.. God bless you and all of those you touch with the truth.. MaryAnn
I was set free from celebrating these holidays nearly 11 years ago. At first it was hard because in a way I had to break up with my family/friends. (around the holidays) Some are Christian, some are not. Christians seem to take the news the worst. My grandma even called me selfish and cursed at me. Even with all that, it was the best decision I made. Unfortunately, it's all around us every year, and that's annoying. I'm now doing my best to raise 4 children to love the Lord and also know the truth. It can get uncomfortable when my kids tell other kids that Santa isn't real and Christmas isn't about Jesus.
Molly Perry You are wrong about refraining from holidays with the exception of Halloween and a few others. Christmas is a Spirit-filled holiday. Stop depriving yourself and your children from God's love and peace with others. Satan is the one causing you to be divided amongst your family. Stop teaching your children this false teaching about Christmas or Easter or other holidays. God is love and He looks at the heart. If a person truly in their heart want to celebrate Christmas and worships God, don't get critical and annoyed by it. Stop raising your kids to be legalistic, judgmental, love-lacking children. Let them enjoy life along with other kids. Its so sad that you fell into this demonic trap. Look what this has caused you and your family, nothing but division. And for what? Because of a holiday that people celebrate to come together in UNITY and JOY and FELLOWSHIP in the name of the Lord? So what if Jesus was not born on December 25th God is looking upon the hearts of the people and rejoices over those who worship Him not just on Christmas or certain holidays but everyday obviously. You seriously need to be set free from this bondage. You are grieving the Holy Spirit and argue private your children of their childhood and are stealing Joy from them. Stop being a Spirit-quencher and walk freely in which Jesus died for you to walk. Jesus did not die to put you back into bondage but just set you free to live for Him and love Him and love others. As a Christian we are free to do whatever we want apart from sin. And no, celebrating a holiday is not a sin even though it was taken from Pagan tradition. God can take that pagan tradition and redeem it for His glory. Is Christian rap or rock bad? Please don't tell me you're going to start shutting off all Christian music just because rap is horrible and rock is satanic. No, God can and does redeem music because that person is redeemed. Please for the sake of the children get set free from this legalistic bondage spirit.
Thanks Judas for trying to take others down with you, pray about it and you will find NOT to celebrate these false distracting rituals' enjoy the time off with family and celebrate being together in the name of god and not the actual Pagan rituals. If it doesn't glorify god, throw it to the wayside. And that includes watching tv, read your bible and prepare for the coming storm as we don't have much time left....
Amen to that! :-) I'm the only one in my family who feels this way too! I get so annoyed when that time of year comes. My husband Loves x mass and it is very hard on me because we don't see eye to eye. He isn't saved anyway I can't expect him to see it. It's nice to see others who feel the way I do about this.
I just found out what Halloween truly was about and my kids are so mad and now they are gonna be mad about this but they will get over it. Please pray for me though.
My kids were mad not having us decorate our house on the December 25,I threw the tree away. Prayed for God to give them understanding .God used another teen in the Lord who told my daughter how her parents repented, after the conviction from the Holy spirit. Now all my kids are in unity of faith, but still battling with the birthday celebration. I told them I am done!!
I'm a new mom and presented my baby to God on Sunday, now that I know the word, I do will not bring my baby up on these made up holidays. I know im going to get an earful by my loved ones.
icee monster it’s excellent that you get to start while your baby is new and can be brought up into truth, versus “finding out” later like a lot of us and being disappointed 😦 😘
Dont do this crap. Let the kid have fun and not worry about religion.I decided to tell my younger cousins and family to not worry about religion.We now live life better and celebrate all holidays for fun, not in any religios way.Onve you become an aiethist you start to live life better.You feel free and do good things to be nice, not to avoid "hell." Most christians have to be threatened with torture to be kind, and thats messed up to be honest.
Wow, this will be my first year not celebrating christmas. Last year we decorated inside.. but I won't even be doing that this year! This was my favorite holiday but not anymore. Praise Yah!!
chass ci You are wrong. Wow, you let a false teaching like this rob you from the joy and fellowship of Christmas. Its not Christmas that we look so much at, its the Spirit of Christmas that we celebrate. Sad for you.
Heiscoming 444 Calm down you legalistic loser. Don't be mad because you don't get to open Christmas present or be with your family and have great food and fellowship in the Lord. Go hang out with the monks on the mountain. You don't operate in the Spirit or know the bible.
D Postell Jr. I'm little over 2 years now in Christ God has been speaking to me a lot about holidays mainly because 6 years ago I saw a video of doc marques. America holidays And I know the truth this Christmas I'm doing baby Jesus and manger took out the tree and we will celebrate the birth of Christ and family is giving me hard time about it God bless you brother
Random TruthBlaster legalism is following man made rules and traditions. pagan holidays are man made traditions (since they're not biblical traditions from God). true worshippers must follow God ONLY and "come out of" the traditions of man. blessings
jcadag70 you are 100% wrong and don't have the Holy Spirit regarding this matter we are free in Christ and the Apostle Paul says not to judge another person over at Moon day Sabbath day or any kind of holiday.
@@nadia05681 this man definitely speaks the truth and put Bible behind it.. I stop celebrating all holidays after I found out the truth behind it..as a follower of chirst it's no such thing putting one foot in and one foot out if ima severe chirst I'm completely all in 100% the Bible speaks plain clearly about christmas trees dnt follow the way of the heathens. But people will argue you down without knowing the true meaning behind it. This will be my 4th year without celebrating these paganism holidays
I have come to the same conclusion in 2019. This is my first year, that I won't be celebrating Christmas. People look as if I am losing my mind. But I am set free, and the narrow road brings joy into my life. Well said my Brother in Christ.
I'm feeling a dread this year. The Forcing of Christmas celebrations, the shopping when there is mostly just junk in American stores, the obligations, the family expectations. It is all feeling so deeply unnatural to me...now after hearing this video I know why.
To Josh Cohen I'm Rita C, born 1949 I was surfing the internet and listened to you. I would like to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate you I read my Bible more and I get up early in the morning at 3 a.m. and spend time with our Lord thank you for the word you opened my eyes you're excellent don't stop what you doing son I know the road gets hard but our Lord never said it would be easy he just said it would be worth it stay encouraged.
Amen. I am not married yet so I spend the holidays with my family. Been saved 4 years now and now I know the TRUTH. During holidays for the last 4 years have been Blah for me. I go to my family to celebrate but it’s like I’m not even there. Whenever the holidays come around since being Saved, I get attacked like crazy, long story short , when God sends me a God Fearing Man and we get married and start a family , I wont be celebrating any of these pagan holidays and my children will know the #TRUTH #JesusChrist
My family and I stopped celebrating Christmas about 6-7 years ago after reading this book on the origin of it. It was kinda hard for me to let it go back then because I really believes in it as a kid. I remember my mother told me that St Nicholas is in our hearts if we believed.... So I really did 😒 Plus Christmas music, movies made me super nostalgic but thank God I'm over that now.
That's great, really happy for you.. I have recently been thinking into yearly traditions and something inside me just wont let it go.. I really believe i would be better off not celebrating worldly traditions but i am a little afraid, because it's going to be hard, super hard. Do you have any advice? what worked for you? God bless :)
Carly Ann...I stopped celebrating ALL holidays AND birthdays two years ago. It was a VERY difficult decision for me because I am a grandmother and I was concerned my sons would be offended and my grandchildren would be hurt. Well, it was the opposite!!! My sons were RELIEVED to have one less celebration/gifts/etc. to worry about. My grandchildren didn't need my gifts along with all the other gifts they receive during these times. I can still give a gift, but my grandchildren would rather have my time and attention anyway. I don't even participate in Mother's Day so my sons are really off the hook about gifts for me!!! Not even a card!! No birthday parties! I'm very much at peace with my decision. It has worked out beautifully for me. Once you turn from all of these godless celebrations, you will find yourself repulsed by them. Satan definitely wants to keep God's people in bondage to these holidays and birthdays, it weakens God's people spiritually. God bless you as you serve Him and seek His Truth!
Candy Laird That's amazing! I'm really happy for you! I don't have any interest in celebrating my birthday but my mother insists. My family and I have shared the truth on these holidays with a few of our relatives but they dismiss it and refuse to read or try to gain more knowledge on it. I'm glad to have been freed from it as well and I definitely won't be passing these lies to my future family. May God bless you too sister!
fullyfranchesca my family and friends are the same but it took years for me too before the holy spirit finally woke me up praise God! my mother knew all about it but was never fully convicted enough to teach us or stop celebrating
It's my parents and i's first year not celebrating Christmas/Thanksgiving/Easter/Halloween. It definitely is crazy how the majority of the rest of the world thinks that I am now crazy for not celebrating. I know in my heart that it is the right thing to not celebrate, and I definitely won't ever give in to society's standards to celebrate ever again after learning the truth of it all. The thing that I find to be funny that I worry about the most is that now, with my new beliefs, it will be harder to date when in reality I have to remind myself that God will guide me to the right man that will love and accept me for who I am and what my beliefs are.
Good solid teaching! God was clear. The ego in man distracts from the truth and causes excuses and justifications for continuing to be of the world. Narrow is the way. You will be hated for His Name. Do you carry His Name or bring honor to it by participating in anything that gives recognition in any way to other gods? We are to put no other god before Him. Dont take mans sermons for your core beliefs. Do your own studying and research. To those who have eyes, let them see. To those who have ears, let them hear.
I didn't celebrate this yr and now everyone trying to tell me I'm wrong for not celebrating it. Thank God I'm saved and he's working in my life. Showing he's the way,the truth and life. Shalom
My family don’t celebrate any man made holidays as of 2 years and all of my friends and mother and such think I’m crazy but I studied and it was common sense
Hi Josh, You truly are being guided by the Holy spirit, so many people are consumed with the worldly things that I sometimes believe I'm the only one in the world who doesn't partake in the traditional holidays or doesn't go about living a blinded commercial christian lifestyle. It brings me comfort and joy to know that my family and I are not the only ones who understand this things. Thank you Josh for being so bold and allowing Jesus Christ & the Holy spirit to guide you.
I’m so guilty of this. My boyfriend is JW and although it irritates me that he looks down on the traditions I have done all my life, I have gotten more familiar with the scripture since we’ve been dating and... he’s not all wrong
This year, God has truly opened my eyes to all of these lies. My brother just suddenly told the whole fam that he won't celebrate this year's Christmas. He explained it to us and I was shocked because it's my first time knowing that this holiday has pagan history. I thought, my church and my school didn't teach us any of this! Obviously, my religious parents persecuted him. So I tried researching on my own, I also started reading the Scripture which really made me closer to Him. Now that I'm awake of these, I want to tell my parents and my friends that I don't celebrate any holidays anymore. To be honest, I'm so frustrated right now because I can't seem to gather my confidence to tell them my decision. Fear of condemnation, maybe. But the condemnation that I will be receiving from the LORD will even be greater than this men if I continue to live with these practices. With the LORD by my side, I know I can overcome this. You too, my brother/sister:))
I think it's unbelievable that Christians celebrate traditional holiday, but they forget to keep Sabbath holy which is in one of the very 10 commandments
@@childofgod4347 Jesus made us priests to God(Rev1:6), then we don't have to keep the Sabbath. It should be Holy day everyday. Because we are all priests(Rev5:10).The priests can work on sabbaths. Jesus said "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."(Mark2:27-28) "Or have you not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?"(Matt12:5) Why didn't the rigthous people before Moses had the Sabbath? Please sister judge righteously, you don't have to believe what I said , but ask The Lord Jesus with a honest and personal heart😀. Because let every man be a liar and God be the truth! May God's peace and The Grace of Jesus be with you!💓💕❤️
That's a good point. Celebrating his fleshly birth focuses on his flesh. But Jesus lived his life by the Spirit of God, not by his carnal flesh. So celebrating his birthday is a carnal deed. Believers are told to commemorate his DEATH not his birth.
@@esperantogod it's a trick of the devil to keep believers focused on their carnal nature so he can control and manipulate us through our physical senses. Christ taught we are to live by the SPIRIT. and also said "that a man who puts his hand to the plow and looks back, isn't FIT for the Kingdom of God". No going backwards or stagnating in Christ. God wants spiritual growth and develop and forward walking movement. When we keep living in the past it hinders our advancement in the faith. Celebrating Christ's birth is a man-made tradition that neutralizes and dimininshes God's resurrection power and authority. Clever devil can't deceive those who walk by the Spirit. Our God is a LIVING Lord and King. He's alive! It's not even logical to keep him a baby every single year. So stupid! God Bless.
EXACTLY!!! Thank you for sharing the truth on this topic! Sssooo many are decieved in thinking traditional holidays are Christian when really they have NOTHING to do with Jesus!
Glad to know the TRUTH 😊I don’t put Christmas trees anymore , just making simple meal just like any other meal😊 less stress too😊Thank you Father God and Lord Jesus Christ🙏❤️
I am totally agree with you. Me too don't celebrate any festival after knowing Jesus. I heard many Christians celebrating christmas in our Island. Many unbelievers asked me why don't you celebrate? I told them we are not suppose to do that and we should celebrate Jesus only.
This will be my first year not celebrating christmas. I have been enlightened by the spirit about this holiday. Also we know when making these decisions we shouldnt follow our heart because it is deceitful who should know it! Just as scripture tells us. So we should always go by the Word of God. If we stick to the scriptures and stay faithful to his word we should not compromise his teachings and just as this brother stated in scripture, do not follow the way of heathen. God bless and Amen!
Amen brother I agree with you because all of these holidays don't honor jesus christ but satan so I'm making my decisions to never celebrate Christmas Easter and valentine's day and Halloween
how has it been since you stopped celebrating? This is the first year for us and we have come under alot of judgment and hate specifically from our families that are Christians!
@@truebeliever81 greetings! So I wrote this over 5 years ago and still to this day we do not celebrate Christmas! It has been a blessing not to celebrate a holiday that has nothing to do with Jesus Christ! Some of my family at first didn’t understand and yes some of my family criticized us but at the end, their opinions don’t matter. The only one we should be pleasing is God Almighty! He will have the last word, the last judgement and he specifically told us in his word not to follow the way of the heathen and that’s exactly what Christmas is! I hope I answered your question! Peace be unto you!
@@BrotherTuda Thank you so much for responding. It's been tough so far. We did no decorations or celebration this year but have been stuck going to our families house's this weekend. We will go to tell them we no longer take part in it and won't be there next year. Pray for us please. 🙏
It’s so refreshing to hear other Christians agree with me. It’s very hard to find Christians that knows this. I’ve never celebrated holidays or participated in any worldly evil festivities. I must admit this was due to my Jehovah’s witness upbringing. I learned it was a false religion but kept the good I received from it. I don’t vote or salute the flag. All is corrupt. Great job Josh!
@@jordyn_shorts I recommend researching the history and roots of all of these holidays to determine what is evil. If you are a proud American then you may not see it as evil. It may be worth listening to Frederick Douglas speech on July 5, 1852, the day after the country gained it's independence from the British. It is worth noting that the Emancipation of Proclamation was not issued until 1863, and the 13th amendment did not officially end slavery until 1865, 13 years after the freedom of the country.
I was led by the Holy Spirit to your messages! Thank you for exposing these practices with scriptures. So many people are so deceived and need to wakeup!
Thank you for THIS video. My family are Catholic...and this past year i have not been going to holidays. They are wondering why i don't go to celebrate. Howdo i tell them About why i don't celebrate any holidays or birthdays.If they would actually open the bible and read it through. There are all these people out here called Christians and don't even know anything about the bible?. These churches are very bad by not teaching the truth.
Anna Pennie It causes strife no matter how you explain, but I've taken to just telling people that Jesus wasn't born in December, the holiday is build on pagan winter solstice celebrations, and it doesn't feel right to celebrate a lie. Hope that helps! God bless you!
Anna Pennie if anyone ask tell them of the truths for truth will set us free make a stand for or Lord for he is or heiper and his Holy sprit will guide you and give the rite words to say but pray before you speak to others and do it in loveing way your borther in christ Jesus !
Anna, next time you have that conversation, bring out your bible and show them what and where it says about the holidays. You might have to get some other books to show just what pagan practices are involved..... You might try and get a copy of "The Two Babylons" by Alexander Hislop, a mid 19th century catholic priest. You can go to your nearest library. They will either have it at the library or be able to get it from a state library on loan. It that don't work, you can go on line to read it or buy a copy. (new or used)
Thank you so much for the word of God.and God May bless you with more wisdom and in stature with God and men.glad that the truth has set us free.Holy Spirit is powerful whose reveals the invisible.
Joshua the Lord is with you keep working up his word the Holy sprit is showing the heart of christ Jesus throught you i'll keep in touch and keep you in my prays your borther in christ Jesus keep moving forward !
Omg, Thank you is is the most clear interpretation, I open my heart and ask God to talk with me, and them I found you message and opens my eyes , I feel so ashamed now, my house is full of Christmas decorations and the pain in my heart is so huge because I’m being offending my Lord. Thank you Josh, and God continue blessing you...
I’ve been reading the Bible for two years and I agree with you on everything my heavenly father who created the firmament and everything in it blessed my brother
Exactly. I found out about its roots just a few days ago. My mother cares more about my birthday than me, even though I ask her not to organize anything.
My family recently got very very upset when I said "were not big on birthdays anymore" . They already know we don't celebrate holidays so this was the last straw for her.
I just learn about this last October, after I had already signed up to cook 5 dishes for our family Thanksgiving. I went ahead and cooked them up and dropped them off for them to enjoy. I told mom that I also wouldn't be able to celebrate Christmas with everyone. I had so much peace in honoring the Lord.
Did the peace last? I hope so but your precious to God even if you celebrate Thanksgiving you know? The original thanks giving was celebrated by Christian's as a thankfulness for being delivered from religious persecution. Be careful. Christ set you free never again allow yourself to be bound up in slavery again. Good luck out there.
Faithful eye opening video 🙏 Almost speechless... Benn feeling this for years but never put into perspective like this before. Thank you for your obedience in obeying the word and turning your back worldly traditions and carnal Doctrine!
Thank you for sharing this so well. Having trouble finding a way to explain this to family who are Christians, but not able to receive this important message. This video will help
Christmas was transformed by the Roman Catholic church from pagan festivals known as yule and saturnalia. Just like Easter.. and also Sunday worship. This was done by the Roman Catholic churchs way to enforce pagan practice and worship. The Sabbath that is to be kept holy is Saturday. It's all very disturbing. I praise God that I'm no longer in the dark. Thank u for doing your part to share the truth🙏
Josh you are certainly on to something! Jehovah's Witnesses only celebrate Jesus resurrection. It was hard for me to give up Christmas Thanksgiving Birthdays etc...
AMEN AMEN AMEN JOSH YOU ARE TELLING THE TRUTH ITS THE WORD OF GOD LET GOD BE TRUTH AN EVERY MAN A LIE KEEP PUTTING THAT TRUTH OUT THERE MY HUSBAND AN I ARE FIRM BELIEVERS OF THE WORD OF GOD YOU ARE SPEAKING NOTHING BUT TRUTH THANK JESUS FOR YOUR BOLDNESS MY BROTHER GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.
Keep it up brother. I know that you know yourself and who you are. I can discern that you are a truthful and open man. Love and respect. Love your neighbor as you love (like is a better word for me) yourself is the greatest and only commandment we should hold fast to.
You did very well u explained this with the holy spirit guiding you keep it up ! I watxh this twice and i will watch it again taking notes .. Lookimg up scriptures along with the references . thank you so much.
There are much more holidays than the ones that you mentioned but Thank You for mentioning the ones that you did mention. The 4th of July as well as Saint Patric's Day and even Groundhog Day to mention a few more. You may want to mention about a few more holiday's such as a Mormon holiday that is celebrated that really is a dark one that they try to make look like it is such a good one but if you look at the real history behind it you will see the darkness to this holiday. It is on the 24th of July. It celebrates the pioneers coming into the Salt Lake Valle=yh but the history behind that is dark and the Mormons were practicing Polygamy and which was Illegal in the US at the time and as far as I know still is. They moved out west away from the US onto native land and stole land like the pilgrims did in the beginning and settled in Salt Lake City Utah. The US finally caught up with the Mormons and gave them an ultimatum that if they wanted statehood they had to stop being weird or they couldn't be part of the US or be taken over. Many other religions that are all Corporate, to begin with, have so many things that you would not believe. You went somewhat deeper than some others on the fact you did mention other holidays but there is more and there is more to each of them.
Thank you! I put in the search box why I don't celebrate Christmas. And I came across your video. I think you so much. I had never considered the nativity scene graven images. I have learned much else about Christmas because I have searched it out for myself. My Christian Church thinks I'm a little bit wacko, so does my family. However, it is the Lord's opening of me that I am concerned about. P. S. The verse about "raise up a child"..,, if we look at that through Hebraic, Jewish eyes, It means that as a child grows, the parents are to look for their natural God-given talents and gifts and help the child to go that way. And they will enjoy working for the rest of our life. Thank you again so much God bless you
Thank you so much! No one wants to hear me out and i need to be more patient with them, keep praying for them and allow the holy spirit to work through them, but I'm saddened by the way no one wants to know the truth. Especially people who dont consider them selves Christian or can not grasp that God is real and so is the devil.
This is good that why I really don't acknowledge these days as days to be celebrated. Everyday is a day to celebrate the Lord. Thank you Lord for showing me another thing to eliminate from my walk.
Brother if you gonna teach do not dance around things. I know you are trying to be politically correct but Christmas should not even be acknowledged by the chosen children of the Most High and any others who choose to follow his laws and statues. They are condemned for bringing a tree in their home even if they do not understand it. When has not understanding something been an excuse. It still will bring judgement. Just saying. We should be keeping the High Holy Days, not these man made traditions and abomination. And the sad part about it is that Satan has deceived the entire world!
Personally, I like the way he did this video. Gentle as a dove, approaching the topic in a non-threatening manner. If you just come right out and straight up say it without any regard to tact, a lot of people are going to curse you for "not being Christian", turn the video off, and not hear a word you say, simply because of how you talked. He covers the bases, and that's important
FountainofLife Online For your information, the high holy days were done away with. Each person can honor certain days or every day alike, just as the scripture used in this video said.
@@christinetheresa7416 You can choose or not choose to celebrate the holy holidays but there is NO excuse in celebrating pagan holidays because we have to love God and love others. Those are the 2 great commandments.
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 26:1
The problem is that we have all been taught the wrong definition of salvation. Salvation hasn’t happened for anyone yet... salvation is at the last day. We have all been DELIVERED from our sin, but we are BEING SAVED. None of us is yet born again... being Born Again as Jesus talked about in John 3, is the Resurrection!!
Thanks for preaching truth steadfastly! This is a struggle as we can be persecuted, but it is worth the sacrifice, to walk in God’s truth in obedience. So many are afraid to preach this!
In 2020 I finally told my kids Santa is fake. Told them it’s a man made character. They were a bit discouraged. I feel so much better now that they know the truth.
Great work. Someone who actually covered every corner of the paganism of christmas. But remember, we can't tell those who worship vainly that they will inherit the eternal kingdom. If we are enmity against the Holy one, we are in opposition. It's certainly not our job to say anyone will be eternally condemned either, but we must reprove out of love in power. As Ephesians 5:11 says, And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. May YAH certainly bless you my f reind and all striving for the crown of life.
It is good to see young people coming out from all of this! I think people are in love with these holidays and substitute a lot of things for a true relationship with Jesus Christ. You are right that "people are going to do what they want to do" and that is hard for us to accept because we love them and want the best for them, which is life in Christ. We are saved by grace and so very grateful for it, aren't we? As a former Preacher's Kid, it is hard for me to accept that so much of what we call "Christianity" in America is pagan. I am so ready for the rapture and so grateful for salvation and a daily walk with Him.
I just figured this out last Christmas. I tried to somewhat celebrate Hanukkah by myself at night. But, I let the rest of my family have a tree. I felt like ppl would think I was crazy. I didn't know what to do how to transition
Is there anything you do celebrate? Do you gather with family at that time or carry on as any other day? How did you approach family about not celebrating these holidays?
I am so inspired reading comments I know many Christians now are willing to live for God Yahuah and Yahusha His Son totally.. I too ask forgiveness for celebrating this pagan holidays, when your desire is nothing but to please and know Him more He will reveal more things to us of which pleases and displeases Him and enable us to obey....
We haven’t celebrated any holidays in 3 years. We will be looking into the Old Testament festivals that Jesus himself participated. I think it will help lead my kids to understand God rather than holidays from the world.
JESUS should be celebrated on a daily by our worship and praise. We dont need a holiday to specify who is the King
Very tru God is good all the time.
Stanley West Amen 🙏😊❤️
AMEN
100% true!!!
@UCb5k68CyD93bZGB5ymli-kA its cool to celebrate it but we dont need to as Christians. No day is "Holy" they are all named after pagan Gods and events. Everyday is the Lord's day in Christ...we have the best covenant!!!
People are judging me so hard for not celebrating Christmas this year. It's persecution at its finest. I at first had a difficult time dealing with this. Then I thought to myself how will o deal with real persecution if I can't handle this? Does it even matter what they say,no! It matters what Yah thinks:) thank u for this video
Kasey Camplin The Christmas Spirit is strong, and many are under that influence. They had Christmas stuff in my local grocery store before Halloween! I believe it truly is an issue of witchcraft
Kasey Camplin Making a decision now to stand for truth now will strengthen you to stand when even worse persecution comes. I made declaration and repented to
God, my friends, family and church for past participation in pagan practices. The peace of God overwhelmed me and I AM FREE. I love my God and Savior Jesus Christ and want to worship in spirit and in TRUTH. Continue to be encouraged to stand in these days.
Amen sister keep on growing in the Lord
Yah1st Camplin amen
I took the decision just now not celebrate Christmas. My kids are not happy with me. They think I'm too radical....no more Halloween, no more Christmas.... Tried to explain but it's difficult
Amen. Most Christians don't get it. Santa MOCKS God, the Christmas tree is an idol. Why would any Christian teach their children to LIE which is an abomination to God? Nothing about it is OF GOD. They call Sunday the Lord's day when every day is. I pray the Church wakes up.
God Bless
“Overweight psychopath” lol 😂 😂😂 I will never view santa clause the same again praise god
I laughed so hard when he said that😂 bt honestly I do not celebrate Christmas anymore either
@@denisejackson776 me neither
The G
Same hahahah i laughed to
The whole santa tradition always bothered me... Its like forcing kids to be good and act nice, so they can have presents and be rewarded
Rather than being good and nice out of their hearts...do yall get what i mean?
If u wanna gift your child then thats cool, but why make pressure them into fake-kindness?
If we want to be separate from the world as Jesus said, these pagan, satanic customs will be thrown out. We cannot have one foot on the narrow path and one foot on the broad. It is either one or the other. We either follow Jesus teachings or we don't, it's as simple as that.
I want to do that but how if my parents are Catholic and I am not
Cat Just like Jesus said step out from among them.
@@jaredboscarino4256 My brother, put Christ first and all others behind... it's very difficult at times, but pleasing Him is what matters most... blessings!!!
Jared Boscarino, each must decide for himself.
David Miles, he mentioned more proof Jesus was born in September, not Dec.
My personal believe is if God wanted his Sons birthday celebrated we would have been given the date.
People say Merry Christmas, but how often do we actually talk about Jesus while "celebrating" His birthday.
What you are saying in this video is exactly what I've been telling people, and they look at me like I'm crazy! Yes, I am! I'm crazy for my Jesus! I'm saved through my faith in Jesus, not Santa, aka Satan! You go, dude!
Only a religious nincompoop would equate St. Nicholas with Satan sirhood.
I just want to say that it is very courageous of you to speak of the truth from the Holy Bible....
Many are blinded by false doctorine from many false teachers...
It is not an easy road to travel the way that Jesus wants us to travel..
But it is the only true way..
We are dirt beneath his feet, but he still loves us and forgives us...
Keep True to our LORD, for he is the only way to salvation..
God bless you and all of those you touch with the truth..

I was set free from celebrating these holidays nearly 11 years ago. At first it was hard because in a way I had to break up with my family/friends. (around the holidays) Some are Christian, some are not. Christians seem to take the news the worst. My grandma even called me selfish and cursed at me. Even with all that, it was the best decision I made. Unfortunately, it's all around us every year, and that's annoying. I'm now doing my best to raise 4 children to love the Lord and also know the truth. It can get uncomfortable when my kids tell other kids that Santa isn't real and Christmas isn't about Jesus.
These holidays are something you do have to break free from. It is a strong hold and a delusion for the people.
Molly Perry You are wrong about refraining from holidays with the exception of Halloween and a few others. Christmas is a Spirit-filled holiday. Stop depriving yourself and your children from God's love and peace with others. Satan is the one causing you to be divided amongst your family. Stop teaching your children this false teaching about Christmas or Easter or other holidays. God is love and He looks at the heart. If a person truly in their heart want to celebrate Christmas and worships God, don't get critical and annoyed by it. Stop raising your kids to be legalistic, judgmental, love-lacking children. Let them enjoy life along with other kids. Its so sad that you fell into this demonic trap. Look what this has caused you and your family, nothing but division. And for what? Because of a holiday that people celebrate to come together in UNITY and JOY and FELLOWSHIP in the name of the Lord? So what if Jesus was not born on December 25th God is looking upon the hearts of the people and rejoices over those who worship Him not just on Christmas or certain holidays but everyday obviously. You seriously need to be set free from this bondage. You are grieving the Holy Spirit and argue private your children of their childhood and are stealing Joy from them. Stop being a Spirit-quencher and walk freely in which Jesus died for you to walk. Jesus did not die to put you back into bondage but just set you free to live for Him and love Him and love others. As a Christian we are free to do whatever we want apart from sin. And no, celebrating a holiday is not a sin even though it was taken from Pagan tradition. God can take that pagan tradition and redeem it for His glory. Is Christian rap or rock bad? Please don't tell me you're going to start shutting off all Christian music just because rap is horrible and rock is satanic. No, God can and does redeem music because that person is redeemed. Please for the sake of the children get set free from this legalistic bondage spirit.
Thanks Judas for trying to take others down with you, pray about it and you will find NOT to celebrate these false distracting rituals' enjoy the time off with family and celebrate being together in the name of god and not the actual Pagan rituals. If it doesn't glorify god, throw it to the wayside. And that includes watching tv, read your bible and prepare for the coming storm as we don't have much time left....
Molly Perry hey Molly I kinda know what you mean about family and friends ,I still struggle with holiday.how did you get through it.
Amen to that! :-) I'm the only one in my family who feels this way too! I get so annoyed when that time of year comes. My husband Loves x mass and it is very hard on me because we don't see eye to eye. He isn't saved anyway I can't expect him to see it. It's nice to see others who feel the way I do about this.
I just found out what Halloween truly was about and my kids are so mad and now they are gonna be mad about this but they will get over it. Please pray for me though.
My kids were mad not having us decorate our house on the December 25,I threw the tree away. Prayed for God to give them understanding .God used another teen in the Lord who told my daughter how her parents repented, after the conviction from the Holy spirit. Now all my kids are in unity of faith, but still battling with the birthday celebration. I told them I am done!!
I'm a new mom and presented my baby to God on Sunday, now that I know the word, I do will not bring my baby up on these made up holidays. I know im going to get an earful by my loved ones.
That's commendable of you. Your new baby is blessed to have a Mom who seeks the truth. God Bless.
icee monster it’s excellent that you get to start while your baby is new and can be brought up into truth, versus “finding out” later like a lot of us and being disappointed 😦 😘
Worth the earful! Totally worth it!
Dont do this crap. Let the kid have fun and not worry about religion.I decided to tell my younger cousins and family to not worry about religion.We now live life better and celebrate all holidays for fun, not in any religios way.Onve you become an aiethist you start to live life better.You feel free and do good things to be nice, not to avoid "hell."
Most christians have to be threatened with torture to be kind, and thats messed up to be honest.
icee monster Good. When I was 16 I stopped celebrating these holiday's immediately. I felt so attached to Christ that it was easy for me to let go.
Wow, this will be my first year not celebrating christmas. Last year we decorated inside.. but I won't even be doing that this year! This was my favorite holiday but not anymore. Praise Yah!!
chass ci You are wrong. Wow, you let a false teaching like this rob you from the joy and fellowship of Christmas. Its not Christmas that we look so much at, its the Spirit of Christmas that we celebrate. Sad for you.
Random TruthBlaster ya the spirit of antichrist
Heiscoming 444 Calm down you legalistic loser. Don't be mad because you don't get to open Christmas present or be with your family and have great food and fellowship in the Lord. Go hang out with the monks on the mountain. You don't operate in the Spirit or know the bible.
Random TruthBlaster it will be a sad day for you when you are spit out of the mouth of God
Heiscoming 444 Ya, and the spirit that comes out of a bottle!🤪
It's a lot of holidays I won't be celebrating after doing some research on them.
Most of my family won't approve of this either and they might think I'm crazy for this.
D Postell Jr.
I'm little over 2 years now in Christ
God has been speaking to me a lot
about holidays mainly because 6 years ago I saw a video of doc marques. America holidays
And I know the truth
this Christmas I'm doing baby Jesus and manger took out the tree and we will celebrate the birth of Christ and family is giving me hard time about it God bless you brother
D Postell Jr. Don't fall into the trap of legalism and criticism. The Spirit of God is all up in Christmas. Trust. Stay away from this guy's teaching.
Random TruthBlaster
legalism is following man made rules and traditions.
pagan holidays are man made traditions (since they're not biblical traditions from God).
true worshippers must follow God ONLY and "come out of" the traditions of man.

jcadag70 you are 100% wrong and don't have the Holy Spirit regarding this matter we are free in Christ and the Apostle Paul says not to judge another person over at Moon day Sabbath day or any kind of holiday.
Whose still listening in 2020? Pray for this man. We need to hear more of this healing truth.

@@lensmith4024 Me too!
@@nadia05681 this man definitely speaks the truth and put Bible behind it.. I stop celebrating all holidays after I found out the truth behind it..as a follower of chirst it's no such thing putting one foot in and one foot out if ima severe chirst I'm completely all in 100% the Bible speaks plain clearly about christmas trees dnt follow the way of the heathens. But people will argue you down without knowing the true meaning behind it. This will be my 4th year without celebrating these paganism holidays
I'm still listening in 2022!
I have come to the same conclusion in 2019. This is my first year, that I won't be celebrating Christmas. People look as if I am losing my mind. But I am set free, and the narrow road brings joy into my life.
Well said my Brother in Christ.
Same here fam
I'm feeling a dread this year. The Forcing of Christmas celebrations, the shopping when there is mostly just junk in American stores, the obligations, the family expectations. It is all feeling so deeply unnatural to me...now after hearing this video I know why.
Christmas must be celebrated in Spirit and Truth, not in external trappings....but the external manifestations of Joy are alright as well.
Each year on the 25th I'm completely broke and I get asked what I want for Christmas and I have absolutely nothing that comes to my mind
To Josh Cohen I'm Rita C, born 1949 I was surfing the internet and listened to you. I would like to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate you I read my Bible more and I get up early in the morning at 3 a.m. and spend time with our Lord thank you for the word you opened my eyes you're excellent don't stop what you doing son I know the road gets hard but our Lord never said it would be easy he just said it would be worth it stay encouraged.
Amen. I am not married yet so I spend the holidays with my family. Been saved 4 years now and now I know the TRUTH. During holidays for the last 4 years have been Blah for me. I go to my family to celebrate but it’s like I’m not even there. Whenever the holidays come around since being Saved, I get attacked like crazy, long story short , when God sends me a God Fearing Man and we get married and start a family , I wont be celebrating any of these pagan holidays and my children will know the #TRUTH #JesusChrist
You wrote this 2 years ago. How are things going? I no longer celebrate Christmas or Easter anymore.
My family and I stopped celebrating Christmas about 6-7 years ago after reading this book on the origin of it. It was kinda hard for me to let it go back then because I really believes in it as a kid. I remember my mother told me that St Nicholas is in our hearts if we believed.... So I really did 😒 Plus Christmas music, movies made me super nostalgic but thank God I'm over that now.
That's great, really happy for you.. I have recently been thinking into yearly traditions and something inside me just wont let it go.. I really believe i would be better off not celebrating worldly traditions but i am a little afraid, because it's going to be hard, super hard. Do you have any advice? what worked for you? God bless :)
Carly Ann...I stopped celebrating ALL holidays AND birthdays two years ago. It was a VERY difficult decision for me because I am a grandmother and I was concerned my sons would be offended and my grandchildren would be hurt. Well, it was the opposite!!! My sons were RELIEVED to have one less celebration/gifts/etc. to worry about. My grandchildren didn't need my gifts along with all the other gifts they receive during these times. I can still give a gift, but my grandchildren would rather have my time and attention anyway. I don't even participate in Mother's Day so my sons are really off the hook about gifts for me!!! Not even a card!! No birthday parties! I'm very much at peace with my decision. It has worked out beautifully for me. Once you turn from all of these godless celebrations, you will find yourself repulsed by them. Satan definitely wants to keep God's people in bondage to these holidays and birthdays, it weakens God's people spiritually. God bless you as you serve Him and seek His Truth!
Candy Laird That's amazing! I'm really happy for you! I don't have any interest in celebrating my birthday but my mother insists. My family and I have shared the truth on these holidays with a few of our relatives but they dismiss it and refuse to read or try to gain more knowledge on it. I'm glad to have been freed from it as well and I definitely won't be passing these lies to my future family. May God bless you too sister!
fullyfranchesca
my family and friends are the same but it took years for me too before the holy spirit finally woke me up praise God!
my mother knew all about it but was never fully convicted enough to teach us or stop celebrating
jcadag70 Thank God we're out of it! We are still trying to warn other Christian family members but no luck!
It's my parents and i's first year not celebrating Christmas/Thanksgiving/Easter/Halloween. It definitely is crazy how the majority of the rest of the world thinks that I am now crazy for not celebrating. I know in my heart that it is the right thing to not celebrate, and I definitely won't ever give in to society's standards to celebrate ever again after learning the truth of it all. The thing that I find to be funny that I worry about the most is that now, with my new beliefs, it will be harder to date when in reality I have to remind myself that God will guide me to the right man that will love and accept me for who I am and what my beliefs are.
Good solid teaching! God was clear. The ego in man distracts from the truth and causes excuses and justifications for continuing to be of the world. Narrow is the way. You will be hated for His Name. Do you carry His Name or bring honor to it by participating in anything that gives recognition in any way to other gods? We are to put no other god before Him. Dont take mans sermons for your core beliefs. Do your own studying and research. To those who have eyes, let them see. To those who have ears, let them hear.
I didn't celebrate this yr and now everyone trying to tell me I'm wrong for not celebrating it. Thank God I'm saved and he's working in my life. Showing he's the way,the truth and life. Shalom
My family don’t celebrate any man made holidays as of 2 years and all of my friends and mother and such think I’m crazy but I studied and it was common sense
You can expect that no matter what when you turn to the Lord persecution and judgement will run rampant towards you
You are soooo wise!! & this was 3 years ago! God bless you. I pray you’re growing deeper with Yahweh everyday ❤️🙏🏼
Tryin to explain this to my family. It’s very frustrating..
Hi Josh,
You truly are being guided by the Holy spirit, so many people are consumed with the worldly things that I sometimes believe I'm the only one in the world who doesn't partake in the traditional holidays or doesn't go about living a blinded commercial christian lifestyle. It brings me comfort and joy to know that my family and I are not the only ones who understand this things. Thank you Josh for being so bold and allowing Jesus Christ & the Holy spirit to guide you.
Zena Tij Amen
You are spot on, Josh. Amazing video and hopefully the uninformed can learn from watching this video. God bless you and your family. Praise JESUS
People decide to ignore God's rules so that they can do the things they want instead of obeying the one and only God.
T Kir amen
@Areteo Sandoval spoken like a true grace abuser. i bet you believe in the demonic osas doctrine :)
I’m so guilty of this. My boyfriend is JW and although it irritates me that he looks down on the traditions I have done all my life, I have gotten more familiar with the scripture since we’ve been dating and... he’s not all wrong
This year, God has truly opened my eyes to all of these lies. My brother just suddenly told the whole fam that he won't celebrate this year's Christmas. He explained it to us and I was shocked because it's my first time knowing that this holiday has pagan history. I thought, my church and my school didn't teach us any of this! Obviously, my religious parents persecuted him. So I tried researching on my own, I also started reading the Scripture which really made me closer to Him. Now that I'm awake of these, I want to tell my parents and my friends that I don't celebrate any holidays anymore. To be honest, I'm so frustrated right now because I can't seem to gather my confidence to tell them my decision. Fear of condemnation, maybe. But the condemnation that I will be receiving from the LORD will even be greater than this men if I continue to live with these practices. With the LORD by my side, I know I can overcome this. You too, my brother/sister:))
Passover is a Holy day
I think it's unbelievable that Christians celebrate traditional holiday, but they forget to keep Sabbath holy which is in one of the very 10 commandments
@@childofgod4347 Jesus made us priests to God(Rev1:6), then we don't have to keep the Sabbath. It should be Holy day everyday. Because we are all priests(Rev5:10).The priests can work on sabbaths. Jesus said "And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."(Mark2:27-28)
"Or have you not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?"(Matt12:5)
Why didn't the rigthous people before Moses had the Sabbath? Please sister judge righteously, you don't have to believe what I said , but ask The Lord Jesus with a honest and personal heart😀. Because let every man be a liar and God be the truth!
May God's peace and The Grace of Jesus be with you!💓💕❤️
Yes it is so is the feast of first fruits
And Saturday, which is sabbath day Exodus 20:8-11
Correct but it’s spiritual now not physical! Spiritual baptism spiritual Passover spiritual everything!
I agree with.because Jesus Christ is the beginning and the end. so there is no way to celebrate his birthday
That's what I always say. He has always been He wasn't created He wasn't just born...He was sent to us. He left His glory to live among men like men.
That's a good point. Celebrating his fleshly birth focuses on his flesh. But Jesus lived his life by the Spirit of God, not by his carnal flesh. So celebrating his birthday is a carnal deed. Believers are told to commemorate his DEATH not his birth.
@@crouchingsoldier7439 wow thank you for the reminder, do this in remembrance of me not for my " birthday " !!!
@@esperantogod it's a trick of the devil to keep believers focused on their carnal nature so he can control and manipulate us through our physical senses. Christ taught we are to live by the SPIRIT. and also said "that a man who puts his hand to the plow and looks back, isn't FIT for the Kingdom of God". No going backwards or stagnating in Christ. God wants spiritual growth and develop and forward walking movement. When we keep living in the past it hinders our advancement in the faith. Celebrating Christ's birth is a man-made tradition that neutralizes and dimininshes God's resurrection power and authority. Clever devil can't deceive those who walk by the Spirit. Our God is a LIVING Lord and King. He's alive! It's not even logical to keep him a baby every single year. So stupid! God Bless.
@@crouchingsoldier7439 nice! Wow, I never thought of it that way. John 1 says “In the beginning was the word ...”
EXACTLY!!! Thank you for sharing the truth on this topic! Sssooo many are decieved in thinking traditional holidays are Christian when really they have NOTHING to do with Jesus!
We have His holy days in which he shows us how to worship and honor Him already.
Glad to know the TRUTH 😊I don’t put Christmas trees anymore , just making simple meal just like any other meal😊 less stress too😊Thank you Father God and Lord Jesus Christ🙏❤️
I’m so happy I’m here!!! I needed to hear this
"The tinsel wrapped around the Christmas tree represents the serpent in the Garden of Eden".
Hilarious!
I am totally agree with you. Me too don't celebrate any festival after knowing Jesus. I heard many Christians celebrating christmas in our Island. Many unbelievers asked me why don't you celebrate? I told them we are not suppose to do that and we should celebrate Jesus only.
Absolutely good video. So rare for content on UA-cam (or in the churches)! 🤗
This will be my first year not celebrating christmas. I have been enlightened by the spirit about this holiday. Also we know when making these decisions we shouldnt follow our heart because it is deceitful who should know it! Just as scripture tells us. So we should always go by the Word of God. If we stick to the scriptures and stay faithful to his word we should not compromise his teachings and just as this brother stated in scripture, do not follow the way of heathen. God bless and Amen!
Amen brother I agree with you because all of these holidays don't honor jesus christ but satan so I'm making my decisions to never celebrate Christmas Easter and valentine's day and Halloween
how has it been since you stopped celebrating? This is the first year for us and we have come under alot of judgment and hate specifically from our families that are Christians!
@@truebeliever81 greetings! So I wrote this over 5 years ago and still to this day we do not celebrate Christmas! It has been a blessing not to celebrate a holiday that has nothing to do with Jesus Christ! Some of my family at first didn’t understand and yes some of my family criticized us but at the end, their opinions don’t matter. The only one we should be pleasing is God Almighty! He will have the last word, the last judgement and he specifically told us in his word not to follow the way of the heathen and that’s exactly what Christmas is! I hope I answered your question! Peace be unto you!
@@jaredboscarino914 yessir! Praise the name of our Lord Jesus! 🙏🏽
@@BrotherTuda Thank you so much for responding. It's been tough so far. We did no decorations or celebration this year but have been stuck going to our families house's this weekend. We will go to tell them we no longer take part in it and won't be there next year. Pray for us please. 🙏
It’s so refreshing to hear other Christians agree with me. It’s very hard to find Christians that knows this. I’ve never celebrated holidays or participated in any worldly evil festivities. I must admit this was due to my Jehovah’s witness upbringing. I learned it was a false religion but kept the good I received from it. I don’t vote or salute the flag. All is corrupt. Great job Josh!
Is the 4th an evil holiday?
@@jordyn_shorts I recommend researching the history and roots of all of these holidays to determine what is evil. If you are a proud American then you may not see it as evil. It may be worth listening to Frederick Douglas speech on July 5, 1852, the day after the country gained it's independence from the British. It is worth noting that the Emancipation of Proclamation was not issued until 1863, and the 13th amendment did not officially end slavery until 1865, 13 years after the freedom of the country.
God Bless Bro. Preach the word
I was led by the Holy Spirit to your messages! Thank you for exposing these practices with scriptures. So many people are so deceived and need to wakeup!
Thank you for THIS video. My family are Catholic...and this past year i have not been going to holidays. They are wondering why i don't go to celebrate. Howdo i tell them About why i don't celebrate any holidays or birthdays.If they would actually open the bible and read it through. There are all these people out here called Christians and don't even know anything about the bible?. These churches are very bad by not teaching the truth.
Anna Pennie It causes strife no matter how you explain, but I've taken to just telling people that Jesus wasn't born in December, the holiday is build on pagan winter solstice celebrations, and it doesn't feel right to celebrate a lie. Hope that helps! God bless you!
Anna Pennie if anyone ask tell them of the truths for truth will set us free make a stand for or Lord for he is or heiper and his Holy sprit will guide you and give the rite words to say but pray before you speak to others and do it in loveing way your borther in christ Jesus !
Anna, next time you have that conversation, bring out your bible and show them what and where it says about the holidays. You might have to get some other books to show just what pagan practices are involved.....
You might try and get a copy of "The Two Babylons" by Alexander Hislop, a mid 19th century catholic priest. You can go to your nearest library. They will either have it at the library or be able to get it from a state library on loan. It that don't work, you can go on line to read it or buy a copy. (new or used)
Most holidays disturb my spirit. Now I have more info for family and in-laws. 😇 thanks

SANTA=SATAN :-)
Jovan Krivokapic
om goodness I was thinking about that, there was a photo of a little girl who drew Santa and wrote the name, but it said Satan.
I think about all different kinds of sayings! For instance take Walmart... mart (martial) Wal (Law)
Santa just to make it not related to satan and mind control, sa*N*ta put it next to a and it is satan..
Santa's based off on Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas was a good man until Satan come along.
Omg, Thank you is is the most clear interpretation, I open my heart and ask God to talk with me, and them I found you message and opens my eyes , I feel so ashamed now, my house is full of Christmas decorations and the pain in my heart is so huge because I’m being offending my Lord.
Thank you Josh, and God continue blessing you...
WOOOOOOW!!! So mindblowing!! Disturbing! Terrifying how we've all been duped. UGH!! So disgusting. Thank you for posting this. SUCH A GAME CHANGER!!!
Christmas is such a lie!
I'm so tired of seeing. 'Keep Christ in Christmas' I always said, He doesn't belong there!
I’ve been reading the Bible for two years and I agree with you on everything my heavenly father who created the firmament and everything in it blessed my brother
Total paganism in all holidays even ones Birthday is idolatry...
Exactly. I found out about its roots just a few days ago. My mother cares more about my birthday than me, even though I ask her not to organize anything.
My family recently got very very upset when I said "were not big on birthdays anymore" . They already know we don't celebrate holidays so this was the last straw for her.
Hello brother! I thank God for you for sharing this truth. Praise God!!!
I just learn about this last October, after I had already signed up to cook 5 dishes for our family Thanksgiving. I went ahead and cooked them up and dropped them off for them to enjoy. I told mom that I also wouldn't be able to celebrate Christmas with everyone. I had so much peace in honoring the Lord.
Did the peace last? I hope so but your precious to God even if you celebrate Thanksgiving you know? The original thanks giving was celebrated by Christian's as a thankfulness for being delivered from religious persecution. Be careful. Christ set you free never again allow yourself to be bound up in slavery again. Good luck out there.
Faithful eye opening video 🙏
Almost speechless...
Benn feeling this for years but never put into perspective like this before.
Thank you for your obedience in obeying the word and turning your back worldly traditions and carnal Doctrine!
Thank you for sharing this so well. Having trouble finding a way to explain this to family who are Christians, but not able to receive this important message. This video will help
Amen brother !! Right on message . My wife and I Do not celebrate holidays. We need to find more believers that want truth. I appreciate you brother
Found this in Dec 2023....great video and thank you for the links. Blessings to all who read this!🙏
Christmas was transformed by the Roman Catholic church from pagan festivals known as yule and saturnalia. Just like Easter.. and also Sunday worship. This was done by the Roman Catholic churchs way to enforce pagan practice and worship. The Sabbath that is to be kept holy is Saturday. It's all very disturbing. I praise God that I'm no longer in the dark. Thank u for doing your part to share the truth🙏
Same here. I celebrate Jesus everyday! 😃 👍🏼
i never celebrated the holidays either! i never missed out on anything.
God bless you.
Thank you for this message, God bless you 🙏

Keep it up brother. I know that you know yourself and who you are. I can discern that you are a truthful and open man. Love and respect. Love your neighbor as you love (like is a better word for me) yourself is the greatest and only commandment we should hold fast to.
You did very well u explained this with the holy spirit guiding you keep it up ! I watxh this twice and i will watch it again taking notes .. Lookimg up scriptures along with the references . thank you so much.
There are much more holidays than the ones that you mentioned but Thank You for mentioning the ones that you did mention. The 4th of July as well as Saint Patric's Day and even Groundhog Day to mention a few more. You may want to mention about a few more holiday's such as a Mormon holiday that is celebrated that really is a dark one that they try to make look like it is such a good one but if you look at the real history behind it you will see the darkness to this holiday. It is on the 24th of July. It celebrates the pioneers coming into the Salt Lake Valle=yh but the history behind that is dark and the Mormons were practicing Polygamy and which was Illegal in the US at the time and as far as I know still is. They moved out west away from the US onto native land and stole land like the pilgrims did in the beginning and settled in Salt Lake City Utah. The US finally caught up with the Mormons and gave them an ultimatum that if they wanted statehood they had to stop being weird or they couldn't be part of the US or be taken over. Many other religions that are all Corporate, to begin with, have so many things that you would not believe.
You went somewhat deeper than some others on the fact you did mention other holidays but there is more and there is more to each of them.
I believe that was around the time of the mountain meadow massacre where the vengeful Mormons did their horrible deeds at that time
Thank you! I put in the search box why I don't celebrate Christmas. And I came across your video. I think you so much. I had never considered the nativity scene graven images. I have learned much else about Christmas because I have searched it out for myself. My Christian Church thinks I'm a little bit wacko, so does my family. However, it is the Lord's opening of me that I am concerned about.
P. S. The verse about "raise up a child"..,, if we look at that through Hebraic, Jewish eyes, It means that as a child grows, the parents are to look for their natural God-given talents and gifts and help the child to go that way. And they will enjoy working for the rest of our life. Thank you again so much God bless you
Thank you. I am in this journey now for 2 years. I get alot of flack for it but I cant unseen what I've seen.
Thank you so much! No one wants to hear me out and i need to be more patient with them, keep praying for them and allow the holy spirit to work through them, but I'm saddened by the way no one wants to know the truth. Especially people who dont consider them selves Christian or can not grasp that God is real and so is the devil.
This is good that why I really don't acknowledge these days as days to be celebrated. Everyday is a day to celebrate the Lord. Thank you Lord for showing me another thing to eliminate from my walk.
Thank you Josh. Totally profound and accurate. God Bless You! X
Brother if you gonna teach do not dance around things. I know you are trying to be politically correct but Christmas should not even be acknowledged by the chosen children of the Most High and any others who choose to follow his laws and statues. They are condemned for bringing a tree in their home even if they do not understand it. When has not understanding something been an excuse. It still will bring judgement. Just saying. We should be keeping the High Holy Days, not these man made traditions and abomination. And the sad part about it is that Satan has deceived the entire world!

FountainofLife Online yes the true chosen are the 12 tribes.
Personally, I like the way he did this video. Gentle as a dove, approaching the topic in a non-threatening manner. If you just come right out and straight up say it without any regard to tact, a lot of people are going to curse you for "not being Christian", turn the video off, and not hear a word you say, simply because of how you talked. He covers the bases, and that's important
FountainofLife Online For your information, the high holy days were done away with. Each person can honor certain days or every day alike, just as the scripture used in this video said.
@@christinetheresa7416 You can choose or not choose to celebrate the holy holidays but there is NO excuse in celebrating pagan holidays because we have to love God and love others. Those are the 2 great commandments.
Nobody can show you this, its something you have to have revealed to you by the Almighty
Oh yes!
💯
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God.
Leviticus 26:1
"...to bow down to..."
@@reflexionesdelabiblia6711 nor serve them... Exodus 20:5
Thank you for sharing the truth, God Bless You 🙏
Well said. Amen!
I appreciate your strength in speaking these truths for us and showing the scriptures for learning.
It's a salvation issue because observance of these holidays is condemned in the word of God.
The problem is that we have all been taught the wrong definition of salvation. Salvation hasn’t happened for anyone yet... salvation is at the last day. We have all been DELIVERED from our sin, but we are BEING SAVED. None of us is yet born again... being Born Again as Jesus talked about in John 3, is the Resurrection!!
Thanks for preaching truth steadfastly! This is a struggle as we can be persecuted, but it is worth the sacrifice, to walk in God’s truth in obedience. So many are afraid to preach this!
God bless you my beloved brother in the lord.. Those who don't get it , Are CARNAL!!!
Awesome content. Would love to see Christians keeping the high holy days that Jesus commanded us to keep until He returns
PRAISE BE! THIS IS A WONDERFUL VIDEO! WHAT A BLESSED YOUNG MAN! STAY BLESSED BROTHER!
In 2020 I finally told my kids Santa is fake. Told them it’s a man made character. They were a bit discouraged. I feel so much better now that they know the truth.
Great work. Someone who actually covered every corner of the paganism of christmas. But remember, we can't tell those who worship vainly that they will inherit the eternal kingdom. If we are enmity against the Holy one, we are in opposition. It's certainly not our job to say anyone will be eternally condemned either, but we must reprove out of love in power. As Ephesians 5:11 says,
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
May YAH certainly bless you my f reind and all striving for the crown of life.
It is good to see young people coming out from all of this! I think people are in love with these holidays and substitute a lot of things for a true relationship with Jesus Christ. You are right that "people are going to do what they want to do" and that is hard for us to accept because we love them and want the best for them, which is life in Christ. We are saved by grace and so very grateful for it, aren't we? As a former Preacher's Kid, it is hard for me to accept that so much of what we call "Christianity" in America is pagan. I am so ready for the rapture and so grateful for salvation and a daily walk with Him.
I just figured this out last Christmas. I tried to somewhat celebrate Hanukkah by myself at night. But, I let the rest of my family have a tree. I felt like ppl would think I was crazy. I didn't know what to do how to transition
Im with you my brother God bless you
I think you did and out standing job exsplaining this and laying it out...great job brother very encouraging and helpfull!!
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! Thank you for dispelling the truth! GLORY TO GOD IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!
Is there anything you do celebrate? Do you gather with family at that time or carry on as any other day? How did you approach family about not celebrating these holidays?
wonderful video!!I already knew a lot of this because I am doing my research but this was great from my son to listen too.Thank you for the video
God bless you brother Josh. Blessings to your beautiful family as well🙏
Thank you for the links as well as the video. God bless!
I am so inspired reading comments I know many Christians now are willing to live for God Yahuah and Yahusha His Son totally.. I too ask forgiveness for celebrating this pagan holidays, when your desire is nothing but to please and know Him more He will reveal more things to us of which pleases and displeases Him and enable us to obey....
We haven’t celebrated any holidays in 3 years. We will be looking into the Old Testament festivals that Jesus himself participated. I think it will help lead my kids to understand God rather than holidays from the world.
