Bah humbug. We have seen this spirit of Scrooge before. What good thing comes from it? Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. (Titus 1:15 KJV) I'm looking forward to celebrating Christ's birth this year. It is a wonderful time with the family. I have a 13 foot Christmas tree all decked out with lights and ornaments in my living room. We will exchange presents on Christmas day and tell about Jesus and his birth and spread the joy of Christ around. Praise the Lord. Many opportunities will arise to speak to others about Jesus Christ during this wonderful holiday. Songs of glory and praise will be made unto Jesus in public places and door to door. Glory be to God in the highest for this opportunity to preach Christ to the world. The atheists and secular humanists are trying to outlaw Christmas and many Messianics join them, but they will not prevail because Jesus is the Christ and mere men cannot stamp out the Spirit of Christ. Jesus is Lord of the Christians and the secularists. As long as believers in Christ have breath, we will declare his birth, his ministry, his death, his resurrection, and the judgment to come.

You say that there would be false Christs who claim that Jesus is the Christ and yet would deceive many? Say what? Are you trying to say that I am a false Christ because I claim that Jesus is the Christ? Peace be with you.
