It took some time to respond to the comments and excuses made. My heart was saddened and heavy by the people who I truly admire and respect on this forum. But I must stand firm to my conscience regardless of the scorn, mockery, and contempt that I may face. 

You are a trooper, stinsonmarri! ?

Finally, the Winter Solstice December 22 – 25, the birthday of the false messiah’s stories that once again, started with Nimrod.

Winter solstice is not a season, it is a moment down to the minute!

Greetings Photodude, I did mention and explain that seasons are as YAHWEH stated:

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Gen 8:22 

I don't recall me saying that the winter solstice was a season, it is just like the equinoxes and the solstices. It is a set time of year that pagan worship and celebrate these days. The winter solstice was also called Yule and was a celebration of the Goddess (Moon) energy. It was believed that on this day, the Moon would give birth to the Sun. Yule comes from the Celtic as did the Christmas tree. These days were honored as the shortest days of the sun in the year. The vernal equinox is to honor Ôstara as a goddess in Germanic paganism of the Norse, Saxon, and Celt. German philologist, jurist, and mythologist Jacob Grimm wrote in his 1835 Deutsche Mythologie; “Ostara, Eástre seems, therefore to have been the divinity of the radiant dawn, of upspringing light, a spectacle that brings joy and blessing, whose meaning could be easily adapted by the resurrection-day of the Christian’s God." It is during the spring season, and these days are based on fertility. It is not the season. The summer solstice is during the summer season in honor of the sun god called Lithan, Yang, the Root, Sacral and Solar Plexus Chakra to name a few, due to the long days. Finally, the autumn equinox has to do with harvest celebration before winter and they start with Lughnassadh and ends with Samhain.

I hope, that I clear it up and I apologized if I cause you to believe that the winter solstice was a season. I truly do not want anyone to misunderstand what I was presenting. That's why I provide quotes, definition, and meanings of words in English, Paleo-Hebrew, and Greek. I also give most of all Scriptures. I just do not want you to rely on my words or thoughts only! Then the choice is yours always!

Blessings!

I dont quite agree with everything Stinson has said about Christmas; but I admire her express and decided desire to remain true to her convictions. THAT is something that only Jesus can work out in a person. 

Thank you again, Wanderer, you have made it quite simple, and loving. I could not have said any better. I shared what I learned and just pass it on. Each one of us has our own conviction, and we all share it here on this forum. As I also stated, I loved Christmas and had to have a real tree every year. Once I read Jer 10, I was convicted it took studying too, but I personally changed my life. I respect other but presented my personal conviction and experience I had, and shared it. We all must stand alone before THE JUDGE base on our conviction, and what we shared with others. I love each and everyone here and I hope that you will feel the same. We come here to learn from each other and share our concerns and conviction. Noone has the right to look down their nose on what each one of choose to do. Only THE HOLY SPIRIT will lead each and every one of us to the truth if we allow HIM. HE does not force, so we should not either. When I hear kindness it makes me feel happy because we all can learn to appreciate each other, always with kindness. We may not agree but kindness to me is the key to THE MOST HIGH!

May you all be bless!?☺️That's to you Wanderer!
