We’ve all heard it—the glowing tale of a baby in a manger, shepherds beneath a silent sky, and wise men bearing gifts. But beneath the carols and candles, beneath the nativity sets and nostalgia, lies a story few are willing to face. What if the Christmas many celebrate isn’t found in Scripture at all? What if the season so tightly woven into Christian tradition has its roots not in Bethlehem—but in Babylon, Rome, and the pagan rites of old? This teaching gently unwraps the glitter to expose the truth. It peels back the centuries of church tradition, cultural comfort, and religious compromise to reveal what Scripture actually says—and what it does not. If we claim to honor the birth of Jesus, then truth matters. History matters. And obedience to YHWH matters most of all. It’s time to trade the counterfeit for what is real.
