                                                            From the Introduction:

 

Every year, all over the world, people naming the name of Christ hold “Christmas” and “Easter” services, and believe that in so doing they are honouring and serving Christ; and yet these are pagan festivals which do not honour or please Him. This will shock and anger many.  The truth, however, must be told.  The purpose of this book is to teach what the Word of God has to say about these pagan festivals, and about the birth, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

What very, very few in our day are aware of, is that the pagan festivals of Christmas and Easter are powerful examples of the satanic influence which the Great Whore of the book of Revelation, the Roman Catholic Institution, exercises over the nations and peoples of the world.

 

That the Roman Catholic Institution is not a Christian Church, but a diabolical, gigantic counterfeit, was well known to believers in past ages.  However, in more recent times, the Protestant world, and even true believers, have been bombarded with the teaching that Popery is Christian, thanks to the Second Vatican Council, the Ecumenical Movement, and the infiltration of the Protestant denominations by the Jesuits and other Papal agents over the centuries.

 

Popery is, as one has said, nothing but “baptized paganism”, and is in no way Christian.  Even if the reader has never been aware of this before, this present work contains sufficient evidence in itself, to convince any true Christian of the absolutely pagan nature of Roman Catholicism.  As will become evident to the reader of these pages, ancient heathenism, Romanism, and the festivals of Christmas and Easter, are inextricably intertwined.

 

This book is divided into two parts.  Part One has to do with the Christmas festival, and Part Two with the Easter festival.  In both parts, the origin of the festival is examined first; and then the true, scriptural accounts of the birth, death and resurrection of Christ are examined.

 

No true child of God should have anything to do with these Babylonian/Romanist festivals, so loved by the world.

It is my pleasure before my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to bear witness to the truth of God as to the relationship that a disciple of Jesus should have to the “seasons” (“holy days”) of “Christmas” and “Easter.”  Shaun Willcock, my friend and brother in the Lord, has written this book that you, the reader, may know the truth about these pagan seasons, and that the Lord would set his people free from this bondage.  This book will teach you the origins of today’s holiday traditions and what the Bible has to say on this subject (God’s judgement and call for separation).

 

It should be noted by all Christians that the command of the Lord after his resurrection, as stated in Matthew 28:19,20 to the apostles and to his Church was, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.  Amen.”  Can anyone point to one verse in the Scriptures where Christ has commanded the keeping of either of these pagan “holy” days or where he gave the command to christianise them?  No, the Lord has always called for separation (examples: read 2 Corinthians 6:14-17 and Ephesians 5:1-21).

 

Every believer will admit that millions of unconverted professing “Christians” keep the seasons, as do the Catholics, Mormons, etc., and the so-called “unchurched,” and all these people think God is pleased with this worship.

 

Dear Christian, if Christ is truly your Lord and Saviour by his grace, do not bring shame to his name and judgement upon yourself by refusing to bear his reproach, which you will bear if you refuse to bow to the religious and secular tradition of participating in the Babylonian/Romish traditions that dominate the world.  Hebrews 13:13 says it best, “Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.”  You will heed this command if you truly “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” (Revelation 18:4).

 

As a former Roman Catholic, who after my conversion joined a Baptist denomination for a short period, the “Protestants’” keeping of Romish holy days was very troubling.  If I could have mixed paganism (Romanism) with Christianity, then I would have stayed a Roman Catholic and not faced the persecution and rejection by family and friends as I tried to wake people up to the lost spiritual state of Roman Catholics.
