Basingstoke, GB. — December 15, 2015 — The Church of the Eternal God announces the availability of its new
StandingWatch Program, “The Dark Side of Christmas!" which focuses on the real truth
behind Christmas celebrations and customs.
Many would be shocked to learn that the celebrations around
Christmas originate in a time long before the birth of Christ. In fact, while many people may think they are
commemorating Christ's birth and celebrating the “joy" of the season, they are
actually paying homage to pagan customs connected to evil spirits, concepts and
figures.
The truth is, Christ wasn't even born on December 25th,
and the original purpose of the celebration was to honor pagan deities, such as
the Persian sun god Mithras, who was “born" on December 25. Further, all of the traditions surrounding Christmas such as gifts, Santa Claus and the Christmas tree are
not only pagan customs that have been adopted by Orthodox Christianity, but
observance of such practices are an abomination in the eyes of God.
Evangelist
Norbert Link explained: “Observing pagan customs in an attempt to celebrate the
birth of Jesus Christ, customs of which He was never a part of in the first
place and which are actually honoring and worshipping demons, is wrong and is
plainly prohibited in the Bible. It is
incredibly clear that God commands us not to worship Him in this way. We read in Matthew 15:7–9 that we worship
Christ in a vain way when we teach as doctrines the commandments of men."
