The Issue with Reedemed Zoomer's "Reconquista": It attempts to use the left's tactics against the left.

The left is able to quietly infiltrate institutions because they have no problem with lying and are foxes scared of open direct conflict. This strategy suits their slimy natures.

Conservatives, however, are lions willing to engage in direct confrontation and unwilling to be duplicitous about our core convictions. Name a single instance where conservatives have quietly crept into an institution and successfully taken it.

The "Christmas is Pagan" lie is a demoralization tactic. Reject it.

The early church settled on December 25th as an attempt to calculate the actual date of his birth, either by reckoning from the Crucifixion or from the Annunciation. The best calculations back up six months (Lk. 1:26) from John the Baptist's birth (historically celebrated as June 24th by the Roman Catholic church), which is itself calculated as 9 months following Zechariah's temple rotation, which ended ~September 22nd. An ancient tradition also reckoned Christ's conception as occurring on roughly the same day as his crucifixion.

December 25th was noted by ante-Nicene Fathers such as Hippolytus in 204 A.D., and Tertullian (c. 200 A.D.) as being the date of Christ's birth, and this appears to be well-established by the time of post-Nicene Fathers such as Chrysostom, Ambrose, and Augustine who view December 25th as a given.

This date does not line up with the oft-cited Roman pagan Saturnalia celebrations, which were on December 17th, later expanded through the 23rd. And while Saturnalia did predate Christmas, there is precisely zero record of Christians intending to borrow from pagan celebrations, and aside from the date, the only other characteristic supposedly borrowed is gift-giving. Most modern scholars admit our modern tradition derives from the lore of St. Nicholas, and the Saturnalia gifts were generally small gag gifts and wax figurines.

December 25th was earmarked by Christians before Emperor Aurelian estabalished the "birth of Sol Invictus" (the central celebration of the new Sun-god cult) as December 25th in 274 A.D. Additionally, December 25th was selected since it was the date of the winter solstice on the Roman calendar. No contemporary sources (Christian or otherwise) suggested the church lifted Dec. 25th from Sol Invictus. The first person to do so was an obscure Syriac Christian writer in the 12th century.

Finally, it ought not surprise us that God should providentially select a date so near the winter solstice, as the sun's hours begin to lengthen, to give us a savior. The final Messianic promise of the Old Testament is that "the Sun of Righteousness shall rise with healing in his wings," (Mal. 4:2).

Merry Christmas to you and yours, and keep smacking down pagans, heretics, and liberals.

Prepare your hearts and minds to celebrate Christ's birth with these selections from George Frederick Handel's great oratorio, The Messiah. Please stand for the final track, the Hallelujah Chorus.

Christmas is the celebration of God's covenant promises faithfully kept across the ages.

I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel. β€” Gen. 3:15

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. β€” Isa. 7:14

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. β€” Isa. 9:6

But you, O Bethlehem EphΚΉrathah, who are little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days. β€” Mic. 5:2

But for you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go forth leaping like calves from the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts. β€” Mal. 4:2-3

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. β€” Gal. 4:4-5

Rejoice! β€” Our covenant God has kept faith with us. Let us therefore renew our obedience and worship to our just and faithful King.

And there were in the same countrey shepheards, abiding in the fielde, and keeping watch by night ouer their flocke. And loe, the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and the glorie of the Lord shone about them, and they were sore afraide. Then the Angel saide vnto them,

Be not afraid: for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great ioy, that shalbe to all the people, That is, that vnto you is borne this day in the citie of Dauid, a Sauiour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shalbe a signe to you, Yee shall finde the babe swadled, and laid in a cratch.

And straightway there was with the Angel a multitude of heauenly souldiers, praising God, and saying,

Glory be to God in the high heauens, and peace in earth, and towards men good will.

Merry Christmas, brothers. May we give thanks and glorify the Lord for the many things we enjoy on days like today, most of all his Son, sent down as a sacrifice for us. We at Protestant Post wish you all happy festivities and blessings to you and yours. Eat the fudge, drink the wine, and slap a heretic!
