Breaking the Very First of The "Ten Commandments" With the Many gods of Christmas
Breaking the Very First of The "Ten Commandments" With the Many gods of Christmas "And God spake all these words, saying, I am Jehovah thy God......Thou shalt have no other gods before me." (Exodus 20:1-3)(ASV)-BibleGateway “I am Jehovah your God....Youu must not have any other gods against my face." (Exodus 20:2,3)(NWT)
There are three versions of the Ten Commandments in the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament). They are at Exodus 20:2-17, Exodus 34:12-26, and Deuteronomy (Deut)5:6-21. The Exodus 20 version: is the most commonly used set of Commandments. "In the first place, the Ten Commandments and they alone of all the laws which God gave unto Israel, were promulgated by the voice of God, amid the most solemn manifestations and tokens of the Divine presence. Second, the Ten Commandments and they alone of all Jehovah’s statutes to Israel, were written directly by the finger of God, written upon tables of stone, and written thus to denote their lasting and imperishable nature." -THE LIFE OF FAITH; Chapter 6 The Ten Commandments by Arthur W Pink "The "law of God" expresses the mind of the Creator, and is binding upon all rational creatures. It is God’s unchanging moral standard for regulating the conduct of all men. Obedience to the law of God is man’s first duty." -THE LIFE OF FAITH; Chapter 6 The Ten Commandments by Arthur W Pink "The Ten Commandments represent God's own summary of our duties toward Him. How valuable to have God lay out His instructions in a space of only 17 verses. But how difficult it proves to obey them, when our hearts have gone astray!" - The Greatest Commandment: The Very Heart of the Matter by Vern Sheridan Poythress
By adopting Christmas from the various pagan gods of the world - we are breaking the very First of the ten commandments.
How So ?
When God said: "You shall have no other gods before Me" (Exodus 20:3), He condemns forms of worship that celebrated the supposed birth of the sun gods or false gods. When God states: "You shall not make for yourself an idol... You shall not bow down to them or worship them..." (Exodus 20:4, New International Version), He also condemns inventing religious feasts and celebrations to replace those that God ordained.
"They moved him to jealousy with strange gods; With abominations provoked they him to anger. They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; They have provoked me to anger with their vanities." (Deteronomy 32:16,32)(ASV)-BibleGateway

"'Nor let them now sacrifice animals to the Devil, but to the praise of God... For from obdurate minds it is impossible to cut off everything at once...'" --quote from Pope Gregory A Book of Christmas, p. 30 by William Sansom
"Pope Gregory...advised Saint Augustine to allow his converts certain festivals.... as formerly they had done this in honor of "the devil"...(therefore) St. Augustine... permitted their usual December celebration under the new name...From these early pagan... ceremonies are derived many of the English holiday customs that have survived to our day." - The Evolution of Christmas; Published in 1909

"Today's Santa is a folk figure with multicultural roots. He embodies characteristics of many pagan gods. Saturn (Roman agricultural god), Cronos ( Greek god, also known as Father Time), the Holly King (Celtic god of the dying year), Father Ice/Grandfather Frost (Russian winter god), Thor (Norse sky god who rides the sky in a chariot drawn by goats), Odin/Wotan (Scandinavian/Teutonic All-Father who rides the sky on an eight-legged horse), Frey (Norse fertility god), & the Tomte (a Norse Land Spirit known for giving gifts to children at this time of year). Santa's reindeer can be viewed as forms of Herne, the Celtic Horned God."
"The "winter solstice (December) was the time at which all the sun-gods from Osiris to Jupiter and Mithra had celebrated their (birthdays) - the celebration being adorned with the pine tree of Adonis, the holly of Saturn, and the mistletoe (of the pagan Druids)...tapers and candles represented the kindling of the newborn sun-god's fire..." -Man and His Gods, p.201. "December 25th - not only was Mithra, the sun-god of Mithraism, said to be born at this time of the year, but also Osiris, Horus, Hercules, Bacchus, Adonis, Jupiter, Tammuz, and other sun-gods were also born at what is today called the "Christmas" season, the winter solstice!" -The Two Babylons; Alexander Hislop, p.93.

"Someone recently said that he wished people would get back to the true meaning of Christmas. I wondered if he really believed this, because the “true meaning” of Christmas is rooted in Pagan beliefs. Christmas, as well as Easter and Halloween, are Pagan holidays. If we were to get back to the real meaning of these holidays, we would be worshiping Pagan gods. I wonder if most religious people are aware of this?" -In Worship of Pagan Gods by Mike Wasdin
