I hear you, dogpoobob. I tried to listen to music a few times and after hearing crap like Frosty, Jingle Bells and other crap I turned the sh*t off. I say buy your own CDs so you can enjoy some good music. I was disappointed that I couldn't turn on anything that played good music.
I don't celebrate Christmas much nor spend much money because I don't believe in it because it’s a pagan holiday although some claim that Christ was conceived on that date. He sure in the hell wasn’t born then and another guy earlier in this thread said it's a pagan holiday by a Roman (Constantine was his name) to bring up attendence of the church by bringing in the pagans and their traditions. Easter is another pagan holiday worshipping the goddess of fertility and thus all the eggs and bunnies. And the Sunday mass of pointing to the east waiting for the sun to rise is from sun god worship. Another heresy and blasphemy brought to you by the Catholic Church cult in my studied and knowledgeable opinion. Jesus did not die on Friday and was not resurrected on Sunday.
Mat 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Mat 12:38 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Mat 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
So this being a holiday which means time off then it’s a good time to get together with family and have a dinner like on Thanksgiving and if you want to give a few gifts then this is a good time to hand out KJV Bibles and perhaps make some food or fruit baskets to give out instead of giving money to the damn retailers like slave labor Wal-Mart or the bastards at Target who I hear banned the Salvation Army bell ringers that want to stomp out Christ from this holiday although it’s not a Christian holiday. Helping out the needy is another good cause instead of spending a fortune on people with the pagan tradition of the exchanging of gifts.
This holiday makes me sick with the Baal worship with trees and sun god with lights and Yule logs were babies thrown into bonfires as sacrifices to Satan or whatever form or name they worshiped him with. However I’m going to celebrate it to the extent of saying Merry Christmas as often as I can because the world hates it.
So we have a nation claiming to be Christian where the only two times many of them attend church is the two biggest pagan holidays. Merry Christmas!
Speaking of Catholics…
1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
1Ti 4:6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
1Ti 4:7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
Now the Catholic cult is the most evil by not only creating the pagan holidays above, but by telling their young men that they can’t marry which is cruel not to mention being unbiblical. I could go on for hours about this biggest corporation in the world but for brevity I’ll leave it to this:
Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Gen 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
Gen 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
Gen 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
Gen 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Gen 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Gen 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Merry Christmas!!!
Another thing... Why should the children grow up to believe in Christ when they were told that there was a Santa, Tooth Fairy, and Easter Bunny which isn't true?
