The word Christmas comes from the Latin word meaning birth. In
terms of Christmas means a ceremony performed by Christians to
memperingatri the birth of Jesus the Messiah, who they call Jesus.
Warning new Christmas blaze between 325-354 by Pope Liberius, who established on December 25, as well as a momentum worship the Sun God, who sometimes also celebrated on January 6, October 18, 28 April or 18 May. By Emperor Constantine, December 25 is finally passed as the birth of Jesus (Christmas).
The Birth of Jesus According to the Bible
To uncover the veil of Christmas on December 25 is believed to be the Day of Birth of Jesus, let us see what is reported by the Biblical account of the birth of Jesus, as in Luke 2:1-8 and Matthew 2:1,10,11 (Mark and John did not write the story the birth of Jesus).
Luke 2:1-8:
"At that time Caesar Augustus issued a command, ordered to register all the people around the world.
This was the first registration when Quirinius was held in the Syrian governor. Then all the people enrolled, each to his own city.
Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galelilea to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he comes from a family and a descendant of David-that registered together with Mary, who was pregnant with her fiance.
When they were there the time came for Mary to give birth, and she bore a son, his eldest son, and wrapped him lapin and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them at home lodging.
That region there were shepherds living in the fields menjanga their flocks by night. "
So, menuru Bible, Jesus was born during the reign of Emperor Augustus, who was who was carrying out a census of the population (7M = 579 Roman). Joseph, Mary, Jesus' mother's fiance berasaldari Bethlehem, the three of them there, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the eldest son of Mary. Mary wrapped him in cloths and laid him in a manger lampan (where to eat cows, sheep made of wood). The incident occurred at night where the shepherds were guarding their flocks in the pastures.
According to Matthew 2:1, 10, 11
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod, the Magi came from the East to Jerusalem. When they saw the star, they were very pleased citalah. So masukalah them into the house they saw the child with Mary, his mother.
So according to Matthew, Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the king called Herod the Great who reigned from 37 BC-4 M (749 Roman), marked by the star seen by the people of the East Zoroastrianism.
Quite clearly the second opposition Gospel (Luke 2:1-8 and Matthew 2:1, 10, 11) to explain the birth of Jesus. But as soon as they refused the birth of Jesus on December 25. The depiction of births with less marked the stars in the sky and the shepherds who were keeping the flock of sheep that is released freely in the open pasture with its stars were glittering, showing the condition of the summer so the shepherd dwells on the prairie with their sheep at night to avoid sunburn. For obvious December 25 is the winter. Moderate temperatures in the Palestinian territories in December were very low so the snow is not impossible.
For those who have insight, heart open and airy in the search for truth, the holy book of the Qur'an has provided answers about the birth of Jesus (Isa alaihssalam).
"Then the pain would force her to bear children (Maryam) rests at the base of a palm tree, he said:" Would that I had died before this, and I'm into something meaningless, forgotten again. " Then Gabriel menyerunya of a low. "Do not grieve, your Lord has made tributary dibawahmu (to drink). And shake the trunk of the palm tree kearahmu, tree: It will undoubtedly ripe dates you "
(Surat Maryam \ 19: 23-25)
So according to the Quran Jesus was born in the summer when the trees bear fruit with thick palm. For that we need to look opinions of Dr. Christian scholars. Arthus S. Peak, in the Commentary on the Bible - as quoted in the Bible book by Salah A. Scales Nahdi (page 23): Jesus was born in the month of Elul (in Hebrew), in conjunction with the August-September.
Meanwhile, Bishop Barns in the Rise of Christianity - as quoted by Salah A. Nahdi found as follows:
"Faith, that December 25th is the birthday of Jesus is for sure there is no proof. If we believe the story about the birth of Luke's where the shepherds keeping night time in the desert near Bethlehem, the birth day of Jesus is certainly not in the winter when the temperature in the mountainous country of Judea is very low so that the snow is not impossible. After a lot of arguments apparently received the birthday of the ruling, circa 300 AD "
How Jesus Born In the Year?
Christians believe that Jesus was born in the year 1, because the AD calendar designed by Dionysius actually made and tailored to the birth of Jesus. But the Gospel of Luke 2:1 (already quoted) said Jesus was born during the reign of Emperor Augustus finished the year 27 before Maseh-AD 14. While Matthew: 2:1 (It has also been cited) says Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod the Great: the year 37 BC-4 AD.
Apparently the understanding that circulated among Christians about the birth of Jesus with the message of the Gospel of Luke and Matthew, it indicates a certainty, so that they are scientists who claim that Jesus was born in 8 BC, the year 6 BC, year 4 AD. Among others in the quotation from the book written by Rev. Dr. Charles Francis Petter, MA. . B.D., S.T.M. entitled, The Lost Years of Jesus Revealed case 119 as follows:
In the 19th century after being convicted and finally admitted that Herod died 4 BC and after the set, that the story of Matthew (2:16) King Herod ordered the killing of a child age / under age two years to destroy Jesus had to be shifted backward at least 4 years BC. Contemporary scholars more inclined to shift the date of birth of Jesus was 5 to 6 years back in BC. The difficulty of determining the date of the birth of Jesus, his life, and his death had brought back because of a lot of particulars contained in the scrolls of the Essenes (contained in the cave Qamran) had problems related to the deity also must be revived.
So to this day there is no clarity in how Jesus was born.
Origin of Christmas Celebration December 25
The command to hold memorial Christmas is not in the Bible and Jesus never gave an example or ordered his disciples to hold memorial birth.
Christmas celebrations are new to Catholic Christianity in the 4th century AD And even this warning comes from the pagan rituals. Whereby we know that the 1st century to the 4th century AD the world is still ruled by the pagan Roman empire polytheism.
When Constantine and the Romans became followers of the Catholic religion, they are not able to leave the customs / culture of their food, especially the party of the people to commemorate the day Sunday (sun = sun: day = day) the sun god born December 25.
So in order to be accepted into the Catholic religion Roman society was held syncretism (a combination of religious and cultural / idolatry), by bringing together the celebration of the birth of Sun of God (the Sun God) with the birth of Son of God (Son of God = Jesus).
So the council in 325, Constantine decided and set December 25 as the birthday of Jesus. It was also decided, first, day of week (Sunday = day of sun) used as a substitute for reckoning the Sabbath falls on Saturday. Second, the symbol of the sun god of light Christian cross emblem. Third, make sculptures of Jesus to replace the statue of the sun god.
After Emperor Kontantin Catholic religion in the 4th century AD, the people were abuzz join the Catholic religion. This process results in a brilliant achievement by the Emperor Constantine Christian syncretism with the religious polytheism panganisme ancestors.
Thus the origin of Christmas or Christmas preserved by Christians all over the world till now.
So trust doctrine panganis polytheism got the Sun God which is celebrated on December 25.
Let us telususri through Biblical and historical panganis beliefs held by the ancient Babylonians in the power of the king Nimrod (Nimrod).
H.W. Armstrong in his book The Plain Truth About Christmas, Worlwide chrch of God, California USA, 1994, explained:
Nimrod grandson of Ham, son of Noah was the founder of the ancient Babylonian system of community life. Name Nimrod in Hebrew language (Hebrew) comes from "Marad" which means: "He defied or Apostasy among others keberaniaannya marry his own mother called" Semiramis ".
But age is not sepannjang Nimrod's mother and wife. So after Nimrod died, Semiramis spread the teachings: that the spirit of Nimrod is still alive, although his body was dead. Then made him a tree parable "Evergreen" which grew out of a dead wood.
So to commemorate his birth stated that Nimrod was always present at Evergreen tree and leave gifts hanging from the branches of the tree. While the birth of Nimrod declared December 25. This is the origin of the Christmas tree.
Further Semiramis considered the "Queen of Heaven" by the people of Babylon, and Nimrod was worshiped as the "holy son of heaven".
Round era states that idolatry Babylonian version was changed to "false Messiah", a god "Ba-al" son of the sun god with the object of worship of 'Mother and Child (Semiramis and Nimrod) born again. The doctrine is spreading to other countries: In the Egyptian form of "Isis and Osiris", in Asia called "Cybele and Deoius". In Rome called Fortuna and Jupiter. Even in Greece, "Kwan Im" in China, Japan and Tibet, India, Persia, Africa, Europe and Mexico were also found indigenous cult of god "Madonna" and others.
The following gods mythologized born on December 25, was born by a virgin girl (without a father), death (the cross) and is believed to be the Messiah (Redeemer):
1. God Mithras (Partner) in Iran, which is also stated born in a cave and has 12 students. He is also referred to as the Savior, because he suffered death and was buried, but rose again. This belief spread to Europe. Konstantin including one admirer sekalugus these faiths.
2. Apollo, which is known to have 12 services and controls 12 stars / planets.
3. Hercules known as a war hero is unmatched.
4. Ba-al who worship the god of Israel is the native land pendududk Kana'an also known as the god of fertility.
5. God Ra, those gods of Ancient Egypt; belief is spread to Rome and celebrated on a large scale and to become the party of the people.
Likewise Serapsis, Attis, Issis, Horus, Adonis, Bacchus, Krishna, Osiris, Syamas, Kybele and others. In addition there is another character / hero to a nation which they believed to be born of a virgin, among others Zorates (the Persians) and Fo Hi (the Chinese). Likewise, heroes Hellenism: Agis, Celomenes, Eunus, Soluius, Aristonicus, Tibarius, Grocecus, Jupiter, Minersa, Easter.
So the concept that God was born of a virgin on December 25th crucified / murdered then dibangkitan, has existed since ancient times.
Concept / religious dogma that Jesus is the son of God and that God has three persons very easily accepted by the Roman society karana concept that they have had before. They just change the names of the gods to Jesus. So honestly Paul acknowledged that these dogmas are intentionally made just LIE. Said Paul to the Romans:
But if the greatness of God by the more abundant lied to his glory, why am I still judged as a sinner anymore?
(Romans 3:7)
Regarding the possibility of disbelieving it, Jesus has been indicated by the message:
Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you! For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceive many.
(Matthew 24:4-5).
Biblical outlook On Christmas ceremony.
To find out the views of Biblical Christmas tradition inherited by paganism, let us examine Jeremiah 10:2-4:
"Thus says the Lord:" Do familiarize yourself with the behavior of nations step, do not afraid of the signs in the sky, though the nations tremble against him. For the diseganii nations are vanity. It is not the idol was felled the trees of the forest, which is done with a chisel the carpenter? People beautify it with gold and silver; strengthen people with nails and hammers so as not to shake ".
Thus the Biblical view of the Christmas ritual that forbids Christians to follow habits pagan nations.
Next let us consider the explanation Jeremiah 10:5
"Idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field. Can not speak; they must be carried because they can not walk. Do not be afraid of him, for idols can do no evil, and do good, he had not DAPT. "
Sources Refuse Christian Christmas

Christmas celebration is considered as the birthday of Jesus, began inaugurated the 4th century AD In the 5th century AD Western Church ordered the Christians to celebrate the birth of Jesus, which is taken from the Roman feast day which celebrates the "Birth of the Sun God". For no one knows the day of the birth of Jesus. "
