Ep. 92 - Christmas: The Real Reason for the Season

Episode Synopsis:

Is Christmas simply a holiday of trees and presents, eggnog and candy canes, or do the cryptic traditions of man conceal an evil presence being worshiped during this winter holiday?

We talk about this and much more, including:

• Does the pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice have anything to do with December traditions?
• Is there any way Jesus could have been born on December 25th? If not, then why do we “remember” His birth on this day?
• How has two of ancient Rome’s most prominent pagan festivals, Sol Invictus and Saturnalia, influenced the Christian celebration of Christmas?
• What is Yule and why do we talk and sing about it during the Christmas season?
• Is there any connection between the American “flu” season and the practicing of pagan holy days?
• What has God said about the ways in which we worship Him, and does He get anything out of Christians observing Christmas?
