182 Oh, brother, sister, how nice it would be if each one of you, if each one of us, us, me, if each one of us could lay aside all this here Christmas tinsel, see, quit all this swapping gifts, one with another, all of this nonsense of the world; and just take off our pride and lay it down, and stomp the thing under foot, say, “Lord Jesus, guide me to that perfect Light.” Watch something Supernatural happen. The Holy Spirit will come in a phenomenal way. See?

198 Say, “I want to follow, I want to follow the Morning Star, Christ. I want to follow and find my Jesus this day. I want to get away from all this here Christmas tinsel and things, because some day it’s going to be burnt with unquenchable fire.” And all those who are intolerating with it, will be burned with it. The world, the sinner, will punished be, they will perish with the world. The worldly-loving people will perish with the world. And if you have, though, still the love of the world in you, and you want to sell yourself completely tonight to Jesus Christ and His Word, raise your hand.

82 And every man or woman that goes to church…Today I was thinking of the cathedrals a ringing out, and the bells a tolling, and so forth like that; and people going to the church, and making ready, and the women buying their Easter hats, and so forth. What has this come to? My! How I can’t understand where a rabbit has anything to do with the resurrection, see, (no, sir) how a Christmas tree has anything to do with the birth of Christ. It’s pagan, friends. We’ve got off the path somewhere. That’s right. But now a real born-again man or woman realizes, because there is life within you, tells you that that’s wrong. Is that right?

115 In a few weeks, or even right now, there’s reindeers and Santa Clauses and—and jingle bells and all kinds of things hanging up, which is pagan ceremony. It’s an article of the Catholic church. People paying great prices and swapping presents and things like that, pagan! Christmas is a day of worship. 116 And by the way, Christ wasn’t born on the twenty-fifth day of December either. He couldn’t have been. If you’d ever been in Judaea, the hills are full of snow, worse than it is here. Born in April when all nature comes forth. 117 Now, but it’s their tradition. And why—why do we do those things? Because we follow the traditions of men instead of the commandments of God. Them…Something like that wouldn’t matter, but they just make a commercial day out of it. It’s a disgrace, a shame for them to do such things as that. A pagan ceremony!

251 And when they did that, what happened? They—they said now…They had to have a spiritual application, so they changed the (Lord Jesus) S-o-n of God’s birthday from April (Which all good scholars know, and anybody with spiritual revelations, that He was born in nature time like when lambs and everything else is born: in April.) way back up to the 25th day of December. And still worship Christmas, now it’s Santa Claus. And what…Oh, mercy. See? Still more pagan festivals added to it. That’s just all. There you are, invited, Balaam. “You have the doctrine of Balaam among you.” There it is. (O God, just reveal it, Father.) See? The birthday from April until… 252 Now, the historian says that “All evidence that Jesus was born in the month of April when all other life comes forth.” But they’ve changed it back to the 25th day of December, five days after (see?) after the pagan god, so they could put their ceremonies together: paganism and Christianity. And Catholicism is nothing in the world but a bunch of pagan superstitions and Christianity’s off-casts put together. That’s right. That is true. And the Protestants that knuck’ to it is just exactly the daughter of the mother prostitute. That’s exactly. 253 Now, God help us to be real protestors against anything that’s not godly. See? Oh!

171 You know where you got Christmas? Christ was born in April, but what did they do? The solar system is slowing up now as it gets away, each day getting a little long, or a little shorter, and a little shorter, and from the twentieth until the twenty-fifth is when the sun-god had its birthday. Just is about five days there, that’s when they had the Roman circus in that time, the celebration of the sun-god’s birthday at that time. And now you see what you got now? “They said make it the ‘sun-god,’ let’s take it ‘Son of God.’” And the whole thing is pagan to begin with! And the people on the streets with their high-heeled shoes, and they’re twisting up and down the streets, and running into stores.

113 We take the word Christmas. It’s very seldom you ever hear Christ’s Name mentioned. You don’t hear It mentioned. The lights and tinsel is all on Santa Claus, not on Christ, till people hardly knows what Christmas is really for. They’ve just paganized it and paganized it, till it’s all become pagan. It’s a great commercial day of celebrations. Now, if they want to make a commercial day like mother’s day, or father’s day, or son’s day, or daughter’s day, that’s all right. But keep that commercial off of Christmas. I seen a sign not long ago, said, “Put Christ back in Christmas.”

But He sent them a Saviour and they didn’t want It. They thought there was…they were saved. See? That’s the way with the churches today. Finds at this Christmas time with all the tinsel of Christmas, the Santa Claus lights, the pagan traits and things dropped into both Catholic and Protestant churches, and just as corrupt as it can be. And God sends them a Saviour. What? Back to the Word. The Holy Spirit, God’s Messiah, His Anointed, to anoint His church and send it back to the Word. Do you think they want It? No, sir. They won’t have It. They’ll turning her down just like they always do.

303 On this Christmas eve, Lord, we’re grateful for the gift of God, for God giving to us. Though this be some, as we believe in our hearts, some pagan superstition of a day that they have tried to mold it and make it be like a—a mass, Christ mass, but we are not coming in that way of Santa Claus and Christmas trees and—and decorations. But we are coming in the Name of the Lord Jesus, to worship the God of Heaven, that was made incarnate, flesh like us, and dwelt among us, to redeem us; and suffered the reproach of the Name, suffered the reproach of the cross, to let a worldly institution put Emmanuel to death, in order He could bring us to Eternal Life.

163 There is that Roman empire, bound there by (what?) the ecclesiastical powers. Which, Rome, pagan Rome become papal Rome, and was bound there in its traditions of Christian. What part of Christian, and—and superstitions it had of Rome putting together all these; worship of women, and all these other kind of stuff, and Christmas days, and holidays, and holy days, and things. It’s been bound with that tradition that it cannot let loose, because it’s against Christian principles. Still the same ungodly, pagan spirit! And that spirit caught into the nations of the world, according to the prophecies of Ezekiel and the rest of the them.

21 Studying on mythology and all these myths, Christmas itself is a myth. It’s not no…Nothing real about Christmas. Christmas wasn’t even mentioned in the Bible, they never worshipped the birth day of Christ. Wasn’t no such a thing. That’s a Roman Catholic dogma and not a Christian teaching, no Scripture for it nowhere in the Bible and for the first hundred years after the Bible, see, nothing of it. It’s just a myth. Santa Claus, commercial, everything, the whole thing is wound up into a big conglomeration. 22 If you get back and study the beginning of it and look down now, you’d see where we were at. There is nothing left, nothing can help but the Coming of the Lord. That’s all. There’s nothing now can help us out of this chaos but the Coming of the Lord. 23 Is this that little switch that censors them tapes? Maybe I better censor this whole thing, just not send it out, because it’s pretty rude. But I say this so…Is the tapes being made now? Don’t sell these tapes, see, these tapes are not for sale. They can be passed around through the church, or so forth, but… ’cause it’s…it’ll cause confusion, as sure as the world. See? So just hold it till we get it fixed different.

117 Now, Christmas. I—I wish that really the people would, could understand in this world, what really Christmas is. Now, the first word Christmas is a—a kind of a Catholic expression. It means “Christ’s…” C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-s, see, “Christ’s mass,” see. It was ordained or was begin with the Roman church. And Christ was no more born on the twenty-fifth day of December than I was. Uh-huh. It’s just a complete conglomeration of dogma. That’s all there is to it. “The whole world,” as the prophet said, “has become a putrefied sore.” That’s right. Just it’s just no clean thing nowhere. Every holiday is backed up by an…Why, Santa Claus took Christmas’ place, the birth in the manger. The rabbit and chicken and new hats took the resurrection. And where does God appear in all this at? See? The reason of this is because that, man, in commercial. 118 Why, they started buying Christmas present months ago, and what is it but a heathen trait! There’s nothing about it godly. Oh, they try to say, “Give gifts, to the wise men.” That’s just an—an oasis for a devil’s excuse. You want to give something, it’s your life to Christ. Don’t give to one another, give it to Him. That’s what He died for. That’s His purpose of coming. See? 119 But it’s got to be a place where it—it’s—it’s a curse to little children. Some little neighbor down the street can have plenty, and the other little fellow don’t have nothing, and they look. And it’s—it’s just the whole thing is altogether wrong. That’s all.

282 Notice, Eve met hers. And so did the second Eve met hers at Nicaea, Rome, gave to it a denomination, creed, accepted dogmas instead of the Word; taken down pagan idols like Jupiter and so forth, and put up Paul and Barnabas. And—and took down the sun-god and the moon-god, Ashtoreth, the moon-god, with round kosher on it, and made her being the mother of the sun-god which is Jupiter. And changed the birth day of Jesus from April, where all nature, where He was born under the ram, ’cause He was a ram, and changed that up to the sun-god’s birthday in the solar there, where it makes one day…There is just only about a minute difference in the day when it passes on the twenty-fifth day of December, the sun-god’s birthday, not the Son of God. And every one of us play Santa Claus, and decorate trees, a heathenism, and things like that, and then call ourselves Christians? What’s the matter with the Christian church?
