This is Hungry Gen podcast, and I just want to thank you for joining us today.

Here at HG, our vision is to see thousands saved locally and millions globally.

We hope you enjoy this week's message.

This time of the year is when usually I present something that I'm going to present today,

and that is the circulating belief that Christmas is a pagan holiday and anybody who celebrates it, participates it in witchcraft.

This is the time usually where God believing, God fearing Christians who get saved, who sometimes come from anything that has to do with demonic kingdom, and they come and they feel a little bit nervous nervous setting up a Christmas tree. They don't want to bring a demon inside of the house by

setting up a Christmas tree or having pictures with the Santa or anything of that sort. So I want to

kind of present the fiction from the fact. Now if you are here and you do not believe in celebrating Christmas, you are totally right to do that.

And not only that, you're actually encouraged according to the Bible to follow your conscience.

And from a pastoral practical point of view, I am envious of you because you can save money a lot.

By not buying Christmas, lights and trees and gifts like

I as long as you don't go into Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnessism we're cool so if you are here also

and you're one of those people you started to prepare for Christmas in January of this year

you already were thinking about a

Christmas tree. You were already were setting up those things. You're not a pagan worshipper. You just love

the holiday. You love buying gifts. You're doing all of the stuff. You are also totally free to do

that unto the glory of God. Setting up a tree in your house is not idol worship. Celebrating

the birth of Jesus is not a worship of some kind of a pagan Babylonian deity. Nor is not celebrating

it causes you to do something wrong. The Bible doesn't tell us to celebrate Christmas and the

Bible doesn't tell us not to celebrate Christmas. Okay. But one thing I do want to mention is this

notion that somehow Christmas, December 25th, was Christians hijacking a Roman pagan holiday and refurbishing it for the cause of celebrating Christ.

Now Romans had two main holidays in December.
