![DID CATHOLICISM GIVE US PAGAN-WITCHCRAFT HOLIDAYS?
[2of 2] Should we be against celebrating Christmas in December at the same time as Catholicism's Christ Mass (Christmas), the Catholicized version of the witches’ Yule ritual? Biblically, we know Christ's birth was probably in the Spring because Winter would not be a time to tend sheep in the hills. So, I get it that the date is wrong and Catholicism was merging with another pagan ritual day, but I'm all for celebrating the birth of Christ any time of year. That said, if we're going to celebrate Christmas (the birth of Christ) we should make it about that and not what the world's turned Christmas into, including occult activities
honoring the pagan Yule ritual that is part of the witchcraft calendar. Likewise, if we're going to have a celebration at the same time as the pagan and Catholic “Easter,” (the witches’ “Ostara”), then let's celebrate “Resurrection Day” instead. Celebrating Jesus rising from dead is exciting to me but we Christians need to keep it biblical if we're going to have those celebrations along with the rest of today's society. Let's not kid ourselves like King Saul who thought he could pull off occult-witchcraft activity, as long as he did so in the dark with a disguise, thinking those would fool God. We do not want to ever merge Christianity with pagan witchcraft like Catholicism has because God does not put up with that. King Saul and all his sons died because of it. Catholicism also merged with the pagan ritual day of Samhain (sa' win),
popularizing it into what we have today with Halloween. | image tagged in wicca,witchcraft,catholic,halloween,easter,christmas | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4qkn6r.jpg)
![DOES “WICCA” JUST MEAN “WITCHCRAFT?” Yes! "Wicca is a modern-day, nature-based pagan religion.” Can I translate that for you? It's old-fashioned witchcraft. "Though rituals and practices vary among people who identify as Wiccan, most observations include the festival celebrations of solstices and equinoxes, [the positioning of the moon and stars,] the honoring of a male god and a female goddess, and the incorporation of herbalism and other natural objects into rituals. Wiccans practice their religion according to an ethical code, and many believe in reincarnation.” Those ethics tell them to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. But if that's true, why are witches (right now) attempting to place hexes on us for producing a study on the Bible's warning against witchcraft? I thought you said you won't hurt people. That's called hypocrisy and, according
to some in the South, a person doing that is a "Hypo-Crite." | image tagged in witchcraft,wicca,bible,pagan,god,worship | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4ksbgt.jpg)
![WHY IS WICCA WITCHCRAFT MASSIVELY INCREASING?
[2 or 3] While secular society is heavily promoting every aspect of witchcraft and other occult practices, the Church remains silent, allowing it to rise quickly. God called this out 2000 years ago with Paul's excellent instructions for young Pastor Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:1-5:"In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the word..." Is Paul telling Timothy to pick and choose whatever he’d like from God's Word? No! And besides chopping out prophecy, Churches today have also stopped talking about sin, hell, and repentance. Pretty soon the only topics left have to do with the biblical table of weights and measures. Is that what Paul is suggesting young Timothy should preach about? No! Paul said to preach the Word, which means all of it and not just what people might like! Paul continues:"Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage..." According to that, it looks like two thirds of the time should be correcting and rebuking. The people should be squirming in their seats as they are corrected and rebuked by God's Word in the Bible. If you're at a Church where you never feel corrected or rebuked, someone is not teaching the Bible. Think about that. In quoting from the Bible, if all you ever get is encouraged, someone is skipping two thirds of the Scripture and that's not a faithful preacher, teacher, Sunday school helper, or whoever it is. | image tagged in wicca,witchcraft,occult,christian,bible,god | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4qnez5.jpg)

[1 of 3] I think their are two aspects driving this in our world today: First, we see massive promotion of Wicca witchcraft. When we were growing up, if you wanted to learn something about the dark arts, there was no Internet. They didn't promote it like they do now on television and in much of our media. People would have to go into a dark back alley to contact some seedy character in a dingy bookstore. That was the average occultist hangout back in the day. Or someone might introduce you to their secret stash of occult material kept hidden at their house. But now it’s everywhere, being promoted on a scale that just blows me away! But that's only half the reason it is increasing on a massive scale. The other is because those in the Church today are keeping their mouths shut, which allows Wicca to rise with almost no hindrance. And those ignoring the issue are fulfilling Bible prophecy about these last days. So, there is a huge worldwide promotion of witchcraft these days, while the Christian Church is absent from the battle against these occult practices. Instead of equipping us on this crucial issue that God repeatedly warns us about, Churches are busy playing funny reindeer games for their audience; just keeping the show going. Churches have paying people attending but because “shepherds” are not teaching from God's Word, they have to give the people something. That is why they only preach a feel-good,
self-centered, self-esteem-building message. | image tagged in wicca,witchcraft,occult,church,media,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4qne8r.jpg)

[3 of 3] Paul coaches Timothy here in 2 Timothy 4:"Correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." While Wicca witchcraft is being promoted worldwide, Pastors won’t warn against it. Notice that the problem is not just the hireling shepherds who won’t preach the Word and thus demonstrate that they do not give a rip about their congregations. It’s also about those hiring all these sell-out pastors? The people in the pews do that! So, even if a pastor is faithful to preach the whole Word, Churches don’t want that! They won't hire a man of God like that and if they do hire a guy who later gets corrected, rebuked, and convicted by God to start preaching the whole Word, those in that Church will often fire him! I have many such stories. That said, a preacher who is not giving God's Word still has to keep the show going so what does he talk about? Here's what Paul told Timothy about the future preaching we’d see in these last days:"They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But [Timothy,] keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry." Pastors are to preach the Word and share the gospel. It is not one OR the other. A pastor is not to make excuses, claiming he doesn't have the gift for either one or the other. We are to preach the Word and evangelize. Those are not mutually-exclusive tasks. Pastors are not to exclude either of those directives that have come from God. And the reason a pastor preaches the Word is so the Church
(the saints) will be equipped to go out and evangelize. | image tagged in wicca,witchcraft,occult,god,bible,christ | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4qnfrt.jpg)

[1 of 2] December 21st is Wiccan-witchcraft’s ritual day of Yule (around our time of Christmas), which features pagan Yule logs, wreaths, and mistletoe. Because Catholicism is not Christian or even a friend to Christianity, they merged their Christ Mass (Christmas) with the pagan Yule ritual. Catholicism also latched onto the pagan witchcraft ritual day of “Ostara” and turned it into the “Easter” we have today (with Ostara-fertility aspects like rabbits and eggs). Catholicism combined that witchcraft ritual day with Christ's resurrection day and called it Easter. As long as I've been a pastor at Sunrise Bible Church, that is why we do not celebrate the Catholic-pagan ritual day of Easter. Instead, at that time we honor what Jesus did for us by celebrating “Resurrection Day.”; I'm not trying to be legalistic, but bunnies have nothing to do with Jesus rising from the dead and everything to do with the Wiccan witchcraft calendar. Likewise, Catholicism adopted the witches’ Samhain (Sa’ win) ritual on October 31st and turned it into their Halloween that is all about divination (praying to dead saints), which God specifically forbids. Through God’s judgment, King Saul and all his sons died for doing that. The witches’ Samhain ritual day was Catholicized into divination-related activities for Catholics like wearing Halloween costumes, the trick or treat aspect, jack o' lanterns, and bobbing for apples. It all worked together because Catholicism is just as into divination as the pagan witches. Folks, when Catholics are told to pray to a dead person, for favor or whatever else, that is flat-out divination and the exact same practice as witchcraft's divination. Catholicism has just gotten away with it for a long
time because no Christians wants to talk about it. | image tagged in wicca,witchcraft,easter,christmas,halloween,catholic | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4qkl14.jpg)
