Topical Study - THE TRUTH ABOUT CHRISTMAS

Image
  THE TRUTH ABOUT CHRISTMAS The word "Christmas" means "Mass of Christ" or, as it came to be shortened, "Christ-Mass". It came to non-Christians and Protestants from the Roman Catholic Church. I. What Encyclopedias say about Christmas? a.Catholic Encyclopedia, 1911 edition published by the Roman Catholic Church says: "Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the church - the first evidence of the feast is from Egypt."  "Pagan customs centering around the January calendars gravitated to Christmas." The Catholic priest, Origen, acknowledged this truth in the same encyclopedia. b.Encyclopedia Britannica, 1946 edition says, "Christmas (i.e. The Mass of Christ) was not among the earliest festivals of the church". Thus, it was not instituted by Christ or the apostles, or by Bible authority.  It was picked up afterward from paganism. c.Encyclopedia Americana, 1944 edition, says, "Christmas" - It wa...

专题研讨 - 圣诞节的真相

Image
  圣诞节的真相 “ Christmas” (圣诞节)之词是指“ Mass of Christ” (基督的众人)或简称“ Christ-Mass” (基督之众)。它从罗马天主教教堂传到非基督徒和新教徒。 1. 根据百科全书,何谓圣诞节? 根据天主教百科全书, 1911 年版本,罗马天主教教堂出版的说: “ 圣诞节不是在教堂最初的节日当中–筵席的最初证据是从埃及来的。”“围绕着一月日历的异教习俗,趋向于圣诞节。” 天主教教士, Origen ,在同一本百科全书承认了这真相。 Britannica 百科全书, 1946 年版本说:“圣诞节(即基督之众)不是在教堂最初的杰日当中。” 因此,它不是基督、使徒或圣经当局设立的。它是之后从异教中传开的。 Americana 百科全书, 1944 年版本说“圣诞节”,根据多方面的资料,并不是在基督教教会的最初几个世纪庆祝的,因为基督教主要是纪念著名人物的死而不是他们的生日。在第五个世纪,西部教会命令圣诞节在  Sol  诞生的旧罗马筵席那天永远庆祝,并且它今天是一个正式基督徒节日。 Britannica 百科全书说:“早在 354 的某些拉丁人,也许把那生日从 1 月 6 日转移到 12 月 25 日,即当时密特拉教的宴餐或未被征服的太阳的生日。” 叙利亚人和亚美尼亚人,紧守 1 月 6 日,指责了罗曼太阳崇拜和偶象崇拜,角逐那 12 月 25 日的筵席,是由 Cerinthus 的门徒发明。 2. 主耶稣是否在 12 月 25 日出生呢? 主耶稣出生的时候,“有牧羊的人,夜间按着更次看守羊群。”(路 2 : 8 ) 这种现象不会在十二月冬季时发生。 牧羊人总是带领他们的羊群从山边和草原进入室内(不迟于十月十五日)以帮助他们避冷和雨季。冬天是雨季,因此牧羊人晚上的时候无法在开放的领域。 这也是当时犹太人的一种古老传统,在逾越节(春天初期)派他们的绵羊到草原和沙漠的领域,并且在第一次下雨时把羊接回家。最初的雨是在 Marchesvan 之月开始的(在 10 月和 11 月过后)。因此,这些绵羊是在整个夏天时安置在开放的领域。并且,因为这些牧羊人未把他们的羊群接回家,我们可以推断十月尚未开始,而且主耶稣并非在 12 月 25 日出生,那时没有羊群...

Topical Study - THE NAME OF THE TRUE JESUS CHURCH (II)

THE NAME OF THE TRUE JESUS CHURCH (II) (2) Why must the church be named "True"? 1. The Lord Jesus Christ knew that many secular churches would rise up in the last days under the guise of proclaiming Christianity and preaching the gospel of salvation. In reality, they are preachers of heresies who deceive many by selling bad wheat (i.e. falsehood and wrong teachings). Matt. 24:5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. Isa. 55:2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. Amos 8:6 LP …—Even sell the bad wheat?” In order to distinguish Himself from these false churches, the Lord must be called by a new name. 2. The Lord is a living stone, a rock. 1Pet. 2:4, 8 4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 8 and“A stone of...
