The Pseudo-Theology Of Christmas Defenders

Every year there is a debate regarding whether or not “Christians” should celebrate Christmas. In the past I have written several messages that focus on the evidence against this holiday being something a true Believer and follower of Yeshua should not participate in. These debates are based in what is commonly called the “calculation theory” and what could be called the “pagan origins theory”. The “calculation theory” claims that Christmas was created completely independent of existing Roman paganism as a result of people figuring out when Yeshua was born based on their calculations. The “pagan origins theory” looks at any number of proposed pagan beliefs that in any way influences the creation of Christmas.

Paths of Old – Ancient Paths

Jeremiah 6:16; 18:15; Acts 15:21

“Thus said יהוה (Yahweh), “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and find rest for yourselves….” (Jeremiah 6:16)

“But My people have forgotten Me, they have burned incense to what is false, and they have stumbled from their ways, from the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths and not on a highway.” (Jeremiah 18:15)

Regular public reading of the Torah was introduced by Ezra the Scribe after the return of the Jewish people from their Babylonian captivity (c. 537 BCE), as described in the Book of Nehemiah 8. In the modern era, adherents of Orthodox Judaism practice Torah reading according to a set procedure they believe has remained unchanged in the two thousand years since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem (70 CE).

“For from ancient generations Mosheh has, in every city, those proclaiming him – being read in the congregations every Sabbath.” (Acts 15:21)
