Jesus hates the Nicolatians and Father Christmas.

I consider myself christian and know better then to celebrate pagan holidays. If you as a christian feel fine celebrating pagan holidays such as holloween, easter, christmas, etc then go ahead. just because it feels good doesnt make it so

We like to knock Jehovah witnesses but aside from some weird ideas and changing a few worlds in their bible their the closet America has to christians that follow the bible correctly

Bless up

I see someone dressed up as santa in usa and went on a shooting spree, in a house. Interesting the rituals are going public.

Showed what xmas is really like, and meant for.

I saw that story being scrolled on the news and before it said Calafornia USA I knew it had to be an Ameican incident, I could not imagine it being Australian, although I did quickly rule out the UK for such behaviour since we have less guns although we are catching on with the nut case behaviours.

Logically, one would not expect Jesus to love the enemy of God. As for whether He hates, I don't know. He does have the authority to judge on the last day. I see how that makes hate quite unnecessay.

Well in the Book of Revelations it does say that the devil when he was in Heaven tormented God and swore at him day and night, meaning a long time before the Arch Angel Micheal decided to kick his but, Jesus and his Dad have a score to settle including 21 plagues and the lake of fire to come.

I have gone back and forth about this Santa Claus thing my whole adult Christian life. Santa, the Easter Bunny and such, are just ways inwhich non-believers can celebrate holidays. Christians celebrate the birth of Christ in solemn yet joyful ways, pagans celebrate with drinking and mayhem. You will know true believers by their fruit. On the other hand, if a small child is enchanted by the fact that a harmless, jovial, red-suited fatman brings them a gift to celebrate the birth of Christ-whats the harm. You've got 364 days to teach your children about Jesus. If one's faith is endangered that much by a harmless, funny, tradition-maybe we should spend more time on Jesus instead of television and video games. Can this Santa thing be overdone? Certainly. Can a benign tradition be used to make the birth of Christ even more fun? In proper perspective, yes. I ask you-what is wrong with enjoying the sights, sounds, smells, and traditions of Christman when celebrating His birth as long as it doesn't include the immorality and debauchery of the unbelieving pagan world. I think God has better things to worry about than whether we enjoy a string of beautiful colored lights adorned on one of His majestic pine trees. On the other hand-a person who is just concerned with their own frivilousness will no doubt celebrate through drunkeness and immorality. No matter what traditions a nation or society adheres to, a Christian will only partake of things that do not grieve the Spirit of God. Santa Claus, gift giving, decorations do not violate scripture. Drunkeness, immorality and revelliing do.

I guess its not just down to one day's celebrations but the changing of the Biblical principles in the action of people, Christianity is not dead because of Christmas and no one sees Santa as a God anyway but a mascot for christmas. But I guess its the people who run the nations and try and justify Biblical meanings in pagan fashions rather than than tell the truth that hurts because many will still see Christmas as a Christian thing anyway regardless of the pagan undertones.
