Thus the tradition emanated from “the god of this world” (2 Cor. 4:4), sprang out of heathenism, was transplanted to Christianity by unfaithful forefathers, and developed by the Church of Rome, “Babylon the Great, the mother of .   .   . abominations” (Rev. 17:55And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (Revelation 17:5)). Like little children led to believe in Santa Claus, Christendom has been deceived by its “blind leaders of the blind” (Matt. 15:1414Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. (Matthew 15:14)).
Should not all this bow the heart with shame and cause us to “sigh and  .  .  .  cry for all the abominations” practiced in Laodicean Christendom dishonoring the name of our blessed Saviour (Psa. 119:158158I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word. (Psalm 119:158); Jer. 15:1517; Ezek. 9:44And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. (Ezekiel 9:4); Phil. 3:1819)? How can we have any part in such a farce? How will it appear at the judgment seat of Christ?
It is “another Jesus” — a popular Jesus (2 Cor. 11:4) suited to the world! The “Christmas spirit” is not of the Holy Spirit but “another spirit” (2 Cor. 11:4). “The spirit of the world” (1 Cor. 2:12) “is not of the Father, but is of the world” (1 John 2:1616And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. (John 2:16)).
