Jeremiah 10:1-5, 8 (RSV) ~ Hear the word which Yahweh speaks to you, O house of Israel. Thus says Yahweh: “LEARN NOT the way of the nations (the heathen), nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens because the nations are dismayed at them, for the customs of the peoples are FALSE. A tree from the forest is cut down, and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman. Men deck it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so that it cannot move. Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Be not afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.” They are both STUPID and FOOLISH; the instruction of idols is but wood!
Straitway Life Bible Commentary From a Hebrew Roots Perspective For 12/02/2022. Should Christians and Israelites celebrate Christmas? Where do the customs surrounding the Christmas holiday come from? Are they from bible scripture? Is Christ-MASS found anywhere in the word of God or is it a tradition of men? Why don’t the Jews celebrate Christmas? Is there any paganism associated with this winter merry-making festival? Is this winter holiday a feast day or holy day of Almighty Yahweh? Where in the bible does it tell us we should establish a feast day to commemorate Messiah Yahshua’s birth? Was Jesus Christ born on December 25th? If it’s not the birthday of Messiah Yahshua, whose birthday is it? Does the modern Christmas celebration come from the Roman Catholic church? Was this merry-making holiday practiced by the early first century church or the Israelites of the old testament? Where does the Christmas tree come from? What does the mistletoe, yule logs, Christmas lights, chimney stockings, flying reindeer, and Santa Claus have to do with Jesus Christ? Is Christmas of the devil? The plain truth about Christmas is our Sabbath day worship sermon message. ( Sabbath Service Recorded From Phoenix, Arizona )
Welcome one and all, friends, and saints of the Most High YAH. We greet you in the mighty name of Yahshua Messiah ( Jesus Christ ). We are a part of the Israel of God teaching the pure and unadulterated word of Almighty Yahweh from both the Hebrew and New Testament scriptures. We are not a so-called sacred name group who never uses the name of Jesus Christ but we do pursue using the real Hebrew names of the Father and Son. Psalm 68:4 (NKJV) reads: “Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds by His name YAH, and rejoice before Him”. By keeping His Torah as the Holy Spirit leads ( honoring His commands ) and imitating the living Torah ( Christ ), we show our love for our great Elohim. God’s grace given to us through our savior Yahshua does not give us license to continue practicing sin ( the breaking of His laws ). 1 John 2:3-4 reads: “And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that says I know Him, and keeps not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him”. HalleluYAH

We use a variety of bible translations to help us better discover and understand the original intent of the author, the context of a bible passage, and the meaning of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. We embrace the weekly seventh day Shabbat ( sabbath day ) and annual holy days of Yahweh God, adhere to the dietary food laws, and guard the Torah seeking to understand and apply it more fully in light of what has been revealed through Jesus and the apostles in new testament scripture.
