My heart and prayers always go out to my brothers and sisters in Christ that they might wake up from the sorcery of the Roman Catholic church and the Christmas holidays.
How did the letters "mas" attach itself to the name of Christ? The answer: From the Roman Catholic "Mass". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas
Christmas was ordained by the RCC back around the 3rd century AD and it comes from the Mass of Christ, or Christ-mas. But according to the word of God no such commandment has been given to commemorate the birth of Christ, which is why the date of his birth was never recorded. However December 25th had always been celebrated as the birth of the sun-god or the Roman Catholic Sol Invictus. Look it up.

What we see now this wondrous once a year spirit is actually called "sorcery", or an evil spell. All the while Christians have left off the commandment of the Lord to preach the real gospel of Jesus Christ beginning with the Jews. “Good luck” (figure of speech) trying to convert Jews over to Babylon which is what they pretend to do.
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Revelation 18:23-24 King James Version (KJV)

Yep!
If you are heavy into holidays, and the trees, and the shopping, and the thought that it really is the Spirit of God that manifests himself once a year, you are under an evil spell that grips the whole world via the Roman Catholic church, and it's a strong delusion which requires the power of the Word and Holy Ghost to break free. The only gift that really matters in the end is the gift of eternal life in Jesus Christ which many wish they had accepted before they departed earth suddenly.
Brief summary of facts:
-The birthday of Jesus was never recorded. December 25th was/is the holiday of Babylon for their sun-god.

Pope Francis - Sun god worship.
-The command was never given to commemorate the day of Jesus birth but the day of his death.
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
1 Corinthians 11:24-26 King James Version (KJV)
-Christians are commanded to preach the gospel throughout the entire world beginning at Jerusalem; Acts 1:8. Not to convert Jews over to Babylon but to their own King.
-We are to be separate from the false church. Not to be yoked together with unbelievers.
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Corinthians 6:16-18 King James Version (KJV)
To say “Christmas Mass” is redundant.
-God is against all forms of idolatry including the age old custom of the Christmas tree.
2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
Jeremiah 10:2-5 King James Version (KJV)
It the Roman Catholic Church who influences the world to set up statues of baby Jesus, and Christmas trees. Along with the Mass, which is, in a biblical sense, a LIE! Jesus did away with the priesthood at the cross. Jesus died once and for all: HEBREWS 10:12. That chapter 10 of Hebrews alone puts the Roman Catholic Church out of business as a fraud. Sadly, many of the Christian churches (I mean where people go to hear the truth about Jesus) are following right along with the Roman Catholic church by promoting the same pagan magic, and folklore of Christmas instead of promoting the Word of God with boldness and clarity, making a stand for the truth so that people can see the difference. The lines between Roman Catholicism and Christianity are pretty blurred these days. As you know around the world, the Catholic church presents itself as the true Christian church. But they are not. Christianity is Christianity in Christ by his word, and Holy Spirit. And Roman Catholicism is exactly that under the rule of the Pope. And who can tell which side is speaking the truth these days? The Christian end has been infiltrated at the college level by both Catholic theology and New Age ideas. Rome is behind the Bible version madness we see today with dozens, perhaps hundreds of new versions to counter the Genuine King James, and Reina-Valera. This causes division and confusion among the churches, spawning off many false teachers. Turning many of the churches into centers of entertainment, earthly wealth, and prosperity. Can we tone the glamour down just a little bit? You know? All that added leaven is not needed, and just keep it “BIBLE” for Christ’s sake and for the kids? Is that too much to ask?
And this is just what the Catholic church represents. Land of confusion and exile aka: Mystery, Babylon the Great, The Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth. Revelation 17:5
Bab·y·lon 2 \ˈba-bə-ˌlän, -lən\
n.
1. A city or place of great luxury, sensuality, and often vice and corruption.
2. A place of captivity or exile.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Revelation 18:3 King James Version (KJV)
The churches are either unaware of God’s commandments from bad teaching or they are simply being ignorant wanting to go with the flow of the world. Of course the Good Lord taught us that we should deny ourselves, and following Him means going to the cross with Him as well. The world will hate Christ. But whoever overcomes the world will reign with Him for ever.
If you are in a church, going to church, or in between churches but you are still a part of the church in Spirit, then look at yourself in the letters to the 7 CHURCHES from Jesus in Revelation. He critiques the churches and many of them had fallen away in sin and spiritual adultery. Even some of these churches were dead in the eyes of the Lord, in danger of being cut off from life unless they repent and return to the Lord.
20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
28 And I will give him the morning star.
29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 2:20-23 King James Version (KJV)
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Colossians 1:9-10 King James Version (KJV)
