Christmas is Love
The Spirit of Christmas is Love from the beginning to the end
it is all about Jesus our Best Friend.
He gave His all to set us free from the slavery of sin on Calvary.
We sing His Melody in our Heart proclaiming He is King, chosen
to be His Bride this Truth from us He does not hide.
Than as we walk by His side Heaven’s Gate is Open wide,
welcoming us to come in freeing us from the penalty of our sin
and giving us a New Name that will never know shame.
The Melody of Christmas is in Jesus’ Birth and in His Death,
Knowing there was no other way that we could be with Him today
and that this was His Father will, He gave His all to be with us still and
so we rejoice on Christmas Day knowing
with Him we will always stay.
May the Wonder and Joy of Christmas bring God’s Melody of Love to our Hearts.

Annie, The birth of Christ is always linked to the death of Christ for that is where our faith is born and our sinful nature is put to death. Thank you for your beautiful words sharing the true meaning of Christmas!

Thank you Debbie for sharing, what a blessing are and yes we remember both Jesus Birth and death, they go together, in both is the Love of God for us clearly shown. It’s sad that Cults and deceived Christians want to disown Christmas claiming it’s Pagan but it is Jesus Birth we celebrate not Pagan gods and Scripture shows it’s reality and yes as I shared in my poem and before, it’s all about Love.

THREE EXAMPLES OF WHY MEN SHOULD USE THE BIBLE ALONE BY STEVE FINNELL
Should mankind use the Bible and the Bible alone for teaching faith and practice? If God’s truth is the template for you, then the Bible should be your source for truth.
THREE EXAMPLES OF WHY EXTRA-BIBLICAL SOURCES ARE NOT RELIABLE SOURCES FOR GOD’S TRUTH.
1. Quote from Pope Francis May 22, 2013: “The Lord created us in His image and likeness, and we are the image of the Lord, and He does good and all of us have this commandment at heart: do good and do not evil. All of us. “But Father, this is not Catholic! He cannot do good.’ Yes he can…”The Lord has redeemed all of us,all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us not just Catholics Everyone! Father, the atheist? Even the atheists. Everyone! ….We must meet one another doing good. ‘ But I don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist! But do good:we will meet one another there.”
2. Quote from Billy Graham October 20, 1997: “I think everybody that loves Christ, or knows Christ, whether they’re conscious of it or not, they’re members of the Body of Christ……He’s calling people out of the world for His name, whether they come from the Muslim world, or the Buddhist world,or the Christian world, or the non-believing world, they are members of the Body of Christ,because they’ve been called by God. They may not even know the name of Jesus, but they know in their hearts that they need something that they don’t have, and they turn to the only light that they have, and I think they are saved, and that they’re going to be with us in heaven.”
3. Quote from Doctrine of Covenants -section 130:22 (Mormon supposed divine revelations): The “Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were is not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us.
These three quotes are all contrary to the Bible.

God’s Truth is found in Creation too ( see below) but it does not contradict God’s Truth in Scripture.
Romans 1:19-21 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of Him from the Creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
God tells us Steve in the Scripture I shared above and in others that all those who do not repent and believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour will be without excuse, He is the only way to The Father and that is good enough for me, I don’t doubt what God tells us or do I argue with Him, others may do so but in the end they will be proven wrong.
God has also given us Steve by the empowering of The Spirit, His Godly logic and reasoning but Scripture will confirm them too, as an example….. although we are not told in Scripture that when we are in Heaven, we will not know if any of our Loved ones are not there, we know this is True because we would grieve and there is no sorrow in Heaven only Joy and the Scriptures also tell us we will have no memory of the things of earth.
I have found Translation error in all Bibles Steve this is why we need to ask for God’s wisdom, it is the Principal thing in understanding His Truth and we are to also Trust in Jesus our only Teacher to lead us into all Truth by The Holy Spirit’s empowering.
1John 2:26-28 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you but as the same anointing Teacheth you of all things, and is Truth, and is no lie and even as it hath Taught you ye shall abide in Him.
Matthew 10:26-28 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops (KJV)
1 Corinthians 2:9-16 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that Love Him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with Spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him neither can he know them because they are Spiritually discerned. But he that is Spiritual judgeth all things yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the Mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? but we have the Mind of Christ.
If you want me to respond Steve to the Statements you shared I will, there is some Truth in them but error too as you said.
