Pat Robertson Former Southern Baptist minister, Robertson advocates a conservative Christian, and religious broadcaster, political commentator, former presidential candidate. Pat Robertson admits, Christmas is Pagan, the date of 25 December is originally Pagan, exchanging gifts at the name of Jesus is Pagan.

All these Pagan activities were NOT approved by God not even inspired by God, Yet Christians are quite happy to ADOPT the Pagan rituals and claim it as Religious Christian activities.

Saturnalia Roman festival

Saturnalia, the most popular of Roman festivals. Dedicated to the Roman god Saturn, the festivalโ€™s influence continues to be felt throughout the Western world.

Originally celebrated on December 17, Saturnalia was extended first to three and eventually to seven days. The date has been connected with the winter sowing season, which in modern Italy varies from October to January. Remarkably like the Greek Kronia, it was the liveliest festival of the year.

All work and business were suspended. Slaves were given temporary freedom to say and do what they liked, and certain moral restrictions were eased. The streets were infected with a Mardi Gras madness; a mock king was chosen (Saturnalicius princeps); the seasonal greeting of Saturnalia was heard everywhere.

The closing days of the Saturnalia were known as Sigillaria, because of the custom of making, toward the end of the festival, presents of candles, wax models of fruit, and waxen statuettes which were fashioned by the sigillarii or manufacturers of small figures in wax and other media.

 The cult statue of Saturn himself, traditionally bound at the feet with woolen bands, was untied, presumably to come out and join the fun.

The influence of the Saturnalia upon the celebrations of Christmas and the New Year has been direct. The fact that Christmas was celebrated on the birthday of the unconquered sun (dies solis invicti nati) gave the season a solar background, connected with the kalends of January (January 1, the Roman New Year) when houses were decorated with greenery and lights, and presents were given to children and the poor.

Concerning the gift candles, the Romans had a story that an old prophecy made the earliest inhabitants of Latium send heads to Hades and phota to Saturn.

The ancient Latins interpreted this to mean human sacrifices, but, according to legend, Hercules advised using lights (phos means โ€œlightโ€ or โ€œmanโ€ according to accent) and not human heads.

Did the substitute person pay for anyone elseโ€™s sins when he was killed on the cross or was, he an innocent unfairly and unjustly killed?

Did Allah deceive Christians by allowing a substitute person on the Cross?

Almighty Allah is the highest and most knowledgeable, and the attribution of knowledge to him is the safest.

Right from Almighty Allah and wrong from me and Satan
