The True Followers Of Yahweh 
Do Not Keep Pagan Celebrations

The followers of Yahshua, the Disciples and early believers, did not celebrate these pagan days. Do not be deceived, these pagan celebrations were being observed even during the time of the Apostles, but Yahweh's People did not observe any of these pagan celebrations.

The Apostles and early believers kept the commanded Holy Days of Yahweh—the weekly Sabbath, Yahshua's Memorial, the Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Day of Pentecost, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, the Feast of Tabernacles and the Last Great Day.

The Apostles and early believers never taught the pagan custom of Christmas. This deception was brought into the congregations after the death of the Apostles.

This celebration was not a new teaching by any means. The pagans had been practicing these celebrations hundreds of years before Yahshua was born.

These celebrations were condemned by the early Prophets. Yeremyah had this to say about the pagan celebration which early Christians renamed Christmas:
Yeremyah 10:1—
Hear the word which Yahweh speaks concerning you, O house of Israyl.

The world does not hear Yahweh's Words. The reason this world does not hear the Word of Yahweh is because Satan has deceived this whole world, as we are told in Revelation 12:9.

Yahweh's Word is very clear, the world knows what the Prophets have written, they even believe the Prophets spoke these things; yet they do not practice what the Prophets under Yahweh's Inspiration taught, as we see written in:
Yeremyah 10:2—
This is what Yahweh says: Do not learn the way; religious practices, of the heathen; Gentile nations; and do not be deceived by the signs of heaven; though the heathen are deceived by them; using them to set their feasts.

Notice what Yahweh says in Yeremyah 10:3. This custom that all the world practices is a vain custom. This custom will not bring Salvation, but its vanity will most definitely bring death. We are also told in Yeremyah what this vain custom is that Yahweh tells us not to learn:
Yeremyah 10:3-5—
3 ...For one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.
4 They decorate it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it will not move; topple over.
5 They are upright, like a palm tree, but they cannot speak; they must be carried, because they cannot go by themselves. Do not give them reverence! They cannot do evil, nor is it in them to do righteousness!

This vain custom that Yahweh commands us not to learn is practiced by all of Christendom every year. They cut their evergreen trees, and they deck their trees just as they did in the time of Yeremyah. This world thinks nothing of practicing this vain custom, although it is a custom of worship to pagan gods.

The breaking of Yahweh's Law is sin (I Yahchanan 3:4). The wages you earn for practicing sin is death (Romans 6:23).

It was through ignorance, and the dread and fear of the signs of a dying sun, that this vain custom of Christmas was introduced, though it was not called Christmas at that time. What is even more amazing is the fact that today's educated world still worships Satan through these vain customs that pagans practiced because of their ignorance.
Yeremyah 10:8—
But they are altogether senseless; as one THEY ARE CONSUMED BY THEIR FOOLISHNESS; their stock is a doctrine of vanities; preaching aboutworthless gods (elohim, teraphim) made of wood!

This custom practiced during this month of the year is not a new doctrine ordained by any of the followers of Yahweh. This custom named Christmas is an old, pagan practice from the worship of Baal.

The Apostles warned against and taught against this pagan practice. However, this pagan practice was brought back into the congregations by the Christians who claimed they were following the Apostles—by men whom Shaul described as grievious wolves in Acts 20:29.

These pagan practices brought on the death of the first established House of Yahweh. Satan managed to slowly bring pagan practices and false doctrines into The House of Yahweh after all of the Apostles died. The Apostles fought against these practices and doctrines until their deaths.

As the Apostles would not yield to pagan customs or false doctrines, we also should not yield to churches today that teach these doctrines. Yahshua gave us this warning in:
Yahchanan Mark 7:7—
But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.

These pagan customs and practices are the worship of pagan gods that Yahweh warned against in:
Deuteronomy 12:30-32—
30 Be careful not to be ensnared into following them by asking about their gods (elohim), saying: How did these nations serve their gods (elohim)? I also will do the same.
31 You must not worship Yahweh your Father in their way, for every abomination to Yahweh, which He hates, they have done to their gods (elohim). They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods (elohim).
32 Whatsoever I command you, be careful to observe and do it, you shall not add to it, nor take away from it.

Pagan practices will not lead to eternal life. Those who follow vain customs are called whoremongers and worshipers of gods by Yahweh. Yahweh also says such will suffer the second death in Revelation 21:8.

The only way to Everlasting Life is Yahweh's Way. There is no other way!

PRAISE YAHWEH!
