Yes, i stopped everything Christ-mass and Easter (Ishstar) 15 years ago. Threw my TV away and picked up my bible and started reading it using a lexicon. I left Christianity within one year. Im now religion free but one with my Father like I never knew was possible. He actually lives in me and I am in Him as he promised. My life was changed and my eyes were opened to the lies of the last 1900 years concocted by Rome.

Truth! The hardest part (for me) is dealing with family. We press on 🙏

[johnsawatzky]

Thank you for the great news. Haven't celebrated any.
Traditional holidays for a long time.

[roybotha]

I don't celebrate "christmas" for a few years now since I learned the truth, but have directly family we do and every year I like dislike enduring the routine more and and time walk hand in hand....From Cape Town South Africa - Shalom

[hazelgovender]

Happy Sabbath everyone..God bless..🙏🤗❤️

[kenneycooper]

I stopped celebrating this holiday decades ago. I save a lot of money too. 😊

[justincase]

I'm amazed at people trying to say that Christmas is not pagan in origin.
They have a severe case of confirmation bias.

[RobertKaneRobertKane]

I used to keep Christmas a long time ago, I do not miss it or spending a lot of money on people who could careless about me"my wife does not believe like I do' but maybe one day she will.thanks to all of you at Tomorrows World, I appreciate you!

[sylviawilliams]

Thank you I would really like to know more.

[holstein]

When anyone says merry christmas to me I say you don’t read your BIBLE do you ❓❓❓ Try reading Jeremiah 10

[jillbuzzard]

Thank you for your words, they are so needed.

[margaretkur]

I'm Messianic and many scholars believe that Yeshua (Messiah) was probably born during Tabernacles. We don't have a special celebration. We celebrate Tabernacles. Scripture never says to celebrate His birthday. He told His disciples to remember His sacrifice at Passover.

[shaunaleessnackidies]

Very well done, totally agree, truth is truth. ❤

[friesiansporthorses]

Thanks for the video. Our family stopped the pagan holidays years ago. We have been keeping the Biblical feasts and am familiar with the Last Great day of Sukkot (Shemini Atzeret). I have never heard anything about the resurrection of billions and they have a second chance. Could you please show the Biblical basis for this idea? Thanks

Christmas seems to be a very clever counterfeit of the Feast of Tabernacles (and New Years Day of the Last Great Day). The other real Holy Days are probably also counterfeited as well.😢 Try to find them - I believe there're all there! Also, even the term Holy Day is counterfeited for Holiday - a quite clever watering down of the meaning.

I would like to see the booklet or booklets to teach us how an when to selibrate. Feasts festivals of god . As it stands l only have list❤

[aneetabanerjee]

Hanukkah is the festival of lights. Rededication of the temple. Celebrate with joy .

[rosaestrada]

Most Christian churches celebrate Christmas. I always wonder why if They read the Bible.
