I highly doubt that Santa clause and Christmas is the work of Satan.
Sinning willfully, no longer Christian. You know it's a lie but keep going along with it, you are willfully sinning. Just like Satan did. Just like Eve and Adam did in the garden of Eden.
Hebrews 10:26,27
26 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.
So, the question has been raised as to the authenticity of Satan being a direct cause for something like the whole Christmas/Santa thing coming about.
Satan's seed in the bible are all the pagan's and their false Gods. Christmas is associated with whom? The Invincible God, Sun God, Soltice, etc. Not the God of the heavens. How do we know it's Satan's seed? Because Armageddon will rid God's Kingdom of all who will go after other God's. All other God's in the bible are said to be influenced by whom? Satan. The "your seed" part below is directed to Satan. Which makes the practices of pagans Satanic in God's eyes.
Genesis 3:14,15
14 The LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eat All the days of your life; 15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel."
When the Israelites were about to enter the promised land, they were instructed by God to destroy thoroughly all pagan worship there.
[size=-1]Numbers 33:52
then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their figured stones, and destroy all their molten images and demolish all their high places;[/size]
Christmas traditions are filled with stories of the masses lying to their children because Christmas is fun and pleasurable.
Leviticus 19:11,12
11 'You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another. 12 'You shall not swear falsely by My name, so as to profane the name of your God; I am the LORD.
Lying started when? Back in the beginning with Adam and Eve. Satan played them for fools. Satan asks a question, then Eve lies by saying that God said not to touch the tree when he, God, only said not to eat from it. Satan then lies himself contradicting a command that God gave to Adam the he, Adam, would die if Adam broke the commandment and ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and bad.
What are the key elements that I am proposing in this thread? Satan is behind the spirit of Christmas and Santa. How could this be so you might ask? Well, if all of it came about by lying to people and Satan is the initiator of the first lies, then Satan is behind Christmas and Santa. Ridiculous you say!! Well, the world pretty much knows it's all lies yet they keep on doing it. Why? Because they are all in league with Satan too unknowingly.
Satan is called the "god of this world". Some translations state "god of this age" or the new world translation has a weird translation of "god of this system of things". Which means all things not of God are of Satan. The things penned in the scriptures are of God. The stuff people created after they were penned are not. Even if they say they did it for God. Does God not know what should be celebrated and not celebrated? Was Jesus not farsighted enough to add that people should celebrate his birth as being the messiah because it was that important?
In the scripture below it describes the "god of this world" blinding the minds of the unbelievers.
[size=-1]2 Corinthians 4:4
in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.[/size]
What are the Gospels trying to tell us? The Pharisees were committed and ordained teachers of God's word yet they were in league with Satan according to Jesus. Lying is a big "no-no". Do it willfully and you lose out on the heavenly reward. Do the will of the Father, which is don't lie again and you are doing good. Do the will of yourself then you are leaving the Father and He will leave you forever. Don't practice pagan things. Don't mix in company with people that practice pagan things. Don't sacrifice yourself to the demons like the nations do by venerating things above God. Get wicked people who break the commandments of God away from you.
What does all that have to do with Satan? All things listed that are good in the scriptures that God likes are reversed and opposite when dealing with Satan. Jesus shows how to get people to come to Christianity. Talk to them, explain the kingdom message and show them all about it, reasoning with them from the scriptures. Jesus doesn't tell people to go out and make new celebrations and create this gigantic pile of lies. If not Jesus then whom? Satan.
In Revelation there's a statement made that Satan is a deceiver of the whole world. Christmas is all deception. Created by people who don't know the difference between pagan and Christian. Christians that ignored the many examples in the scriptures of false god practices and what happened to those who worshipped them. God effaced them from the earth. Sometimes God did this himself and other times he had his chosen people the Hebrews annilihate them.
[size=-1]Revelation 12:9
And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.[/size]
What is the problem with observing this false holy day? It's a lie and you are associating your self to lies. The people who created Christmas let their morals go right down the drain. They propogated the lie so long that it, Christmas is almost the most celebrated holiday in history. And it's all lies! So what about the spirit of Satan you say? Well the scripture below states what happens if you get too close to corruption.
[size=-1]1 Corinthians 15:33[/size]
[size=-1]Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals."
[/size]
What of those who created Christmas? Are they in league with Satan really? Well, let's look at their track record. They didn't go with what Jesus said in the book of Matthew when he showed how the gospel was to be preached. Jesus told his apostles to go out in pairs with no money or purse and go to the cities. Search for deserving ones, enter the homes of those accepting the message they brought or shaking the dust off their feet to those who rejected the message.
The question must be asked then. Why did the early Roman Catholic Church go astray and deviate from the norm set out through example by Jesus and the apostles? Because they had become just like the Pharisees. Which Jesus said were working the works of their Father the Devil (or Satan the Devil as it's said in Revelation 12:9).
[size=-1]2 Corinthians 11:12-14
12 But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting. [size=-1]13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. [size=-1]14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
[/size][/size][/size]
So if the origin of Christmas and Santa Claus stemmed from those who deviated from the pure unadulterated worship of God and took it upon themselves to get more people to Christianity through deceptive means. Abandoning their faith, they became Antichrists which the "son of destruction" was, Judas Iscariot. A betrayer and traitor, just like Satan.
All those who betrayed God became satans themselves and sent Santa and Christmas into the world. They were false teachers and liars. This contributed to the early Christians abandoning the true worship of God and serving false gods under the guise of Christmas.
