THE CHRISTMAS CONCERT IN CALGARY
I WORK PART-TIME FOR A LOCAL COMMUNITY CENTER.
THE STAFF [ME INCLUDED] USUALLY HAVE AN EVENING MEAL AT ONE OF THE MORE EXPENSIVE RESTAURANTS IN TOWN. THIS YEAR AS THE MANAGER IS A "CHRISTIAN" HE ALSO ARRANGED FOR US TO ATTEND A CONCERT [CHOIR AND ORCHESTRA] WITH THE THEME OF "CHRISTMAS."
I DECIDED I WOULD GO, IT WOULD GIVE ME AN INSIGHT INTO THE MIND-SET OF CHRISTIANS AND CHRISTMAS ONCE MORE, BEING MANY DECADES THAT I HAD LAST EXPERIENCED SUCH AN EVENT.
FIRST, LET ME SAY, TO TAKE A GROUP OF INDIVIDUAL TALENTED SINGERS AND ORCHESTRA PLAYERS, FROM A NUMBER OF CHURCHES, AND DO WHAT THEY DID UNDER A GREAT MUSIC LEADER, WAS JUST UNREAL, NEVER SEEN A BETTER CHOIR..... THEY WERE OUTSTANDINGLY SUPERB, AND THE ORCHESTRA WAS GREAT.
THE CHOIR WOULD AT TIMES COME DOWN AND POSITION THEMSELVES IN THE AUDIENCE WALK-WAYS OF THE PRO "JACK SINGER" CONCERT HALL - THEY WOULD SING A-CAPELLA.....WOW YOU TALK ABOUT HARMONY, INS AND OUTS OF VARIOUS VOICES, SOMETIMES AS SOFT AS POSSIBLE AND STILL HEAR THEM..... JUST THE BEST CHOIR I'VE EVER HEARD!
SO TO PUT TOGETHER THOSE VOICES AND DO THE VARIOUS VARIETY OF SONGS AND CAROLS, IN UNIQUE WAYS OF ARRANGEMENT, WAS FANTASTIC! THEN YOU SEE ALL THE ORCHESTRA PLAYERS, EACH PLAYING THEIR PART, WITH THE SOUND OF PERFECTION.....BLOWS YOU AWAY.
TALENT PUT TOGETHER TO MAKE A WHOLE....BRILLIANT!
YOU COULD FEEL AND SEE THAT FOR THE PERFORMERS THIS WAS WONDERFUL TO DO; YOU COULD TELL VERY PLAINLY THEY LOVED CHRISTMAS TIME. YOU COULD TELL THEY WERE WRAPPED UP IN THE CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS AND ALL THAT THE CHURCHES AND SOCIETY DO AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR.
YOU COULD SEE "EMOTIONS” IN ALL PERFORMERS - AS THEY TALKED ABOUT HAPPY TIMES WITH PARENTS AND FAMILY - LOTS OF JOY - PRESENT GIVING - CHRISTMAS TREE - THINKING ABOUT THE BIRTH OF CHRIST JESUS.....ALL EMOTIONAL STUFF.
YOU THINK ABOUT THE WORLD AS A WHOLE OUT THERE.....THE BUYING AND GIVING AND RECEIVING; THE COMMERCIAL ASPET OF IT ALL.
MOST CHRISTIANS DON'T STOP TO THINK ABOUT THE PLAIN REALITY OF CHRISTMAS; THEY DO NOT HAVE THEIR MINISTERS TELLING THEM THE FACTS - JESUS WAS NOT BORN ANYWHERE NEAR DECEMBER 25. THEY DO NOT TELL THE PEOPLE THAT FOR ABOUT 400 YEARS THE BIRTH OF CHRIST WAS NEVER CELEBRATED. THEY DO NOT TELL THEM THAT DECEMBER 25 AND FESTIVITIES THROUGH TO JANUARY 1, WAS ONE HUGE LICENTIOUS PERIOD FOR THE PAGANS, FOR THE UNCONVERTED. THEY DO NOT TELL THE PEOPLE IT WAS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH THAT ADOPTED "THESE CELEBRATIONS" AND SPRINKLED THEM WITH THEIR HOLY WATER, AND MADE THEM "CHRISTIAN" - SO MANY COULD COME INTO THE CHURCH AND NOT HAVE TO GIVE UP THIS WILD MIDDLE OF WINTER CELEBRATION.
I GO INTO DETAILS ABOUT IT ALL ON THIS WEBSITE IN VARIOUS STUDIES.
IF I WAS ALLOWED TO PREACH TO ALL THE SUNDAY CHURCHES IN CALGARY IN ONE LARGE AUDITORIUM, AND PREACHED ABOUT WHERE CHRISTMAS CAME FROM, AND TO THE PROTESTANTS THAT THEY HAVE FULLY ACCEPTED AN INVENTION OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHERE AS PROTESTANTS THEY WERE SUPPOSEDLY TO PROTEST THE WRONG THEOLOGY AND TRADITIONAL PRACTICES THAT ARE NOT BACKED UP IN THE BIBLE FOR US TO SO PRACTICE---- THEY WOULD, THE VAST MAJORITY, SAY I'M A FANATICAL THEOLOGICAL NUT.
UNLESS NOW AND AGAIN YOU GO TO ONE OF THESE COMBINED CHURCH CHRISTMAS CONCERT, VERY HIGH TECH PERFORMANCES, YOU JUST DO NOT SEE HOW INGRAINED THIS HAS BECOME IN 98 PERCENT OF CHRISTIAN CHURCHES.
TO SAY THIS SHOULD ALL STOP; TO SAY THEY SHOULD SING SONGS AND CAROLS [SOME WORDS NEED CHANGING IN SOME] AROUND THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES TIME, WHEN THAT WOULD BE FAR CLOSER TO WHEN JESUS WAS BORN.....YOU'D GET STRANGE LOOKS THAT WOULD TELL YOU, YOU WERE A NUT CASE, OR FANATIC!
THE CHRISTIAN WORLD HAS LOST THE SIGHT OF WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG; THE CHRISTIAN WORLD GAVE UP DECADES AGO, READING AND STUDYING THE BIBLE TO BE CORRECTED, GUIDED TO TRUTH, LOVING TRUTH, SEEKING TRUTH, AND THEN PERFORMING IT.
THE CHRISTIAN GROUPS STOPPED A LONG TIME AGO LOVING AND SEARCHING FOR TRUTH AS REVEALED IN THE LORD'S HOLY BIBLE.
THEY WOULD TELL YOU THEY ARE SAVED.....I GAVE MY HEART TO THE LORD; WHAT THEY DO NOT REALIZE THEIR HEART WAS HALF EMOTION, AND THEY REALLY DID NOT KNOW WHAT SIN IS; THEY SAY THEY ACCEPT JESUS AS SAVIOR, BUT DO NOT GO ON TO STUDY WHAT HE TAUGHT. THEY SEEM TO IGNORE THE WORDS OF JESUS IN MATT. 4:4 - READ THEM! HOW MANY CHRISTIANS OBEY THOSE WORDS OF JESUS? VERY VERY FEW.
MANY CHRISTIANS JUST PICK A CHURCH OF THEIR CHOICE, GO THERE AND IF EVERYTHING ELSE IS WHAT THEY LIKE, THEY STAY OR GO OUT AND PICK ANOTHER, WHERE THEIR EMOTIONS FEEL MORE AT HOME.
THE PEOPLE PERFORMING THAT NIGHT WERE "RIGHT INTO" THE CHRISTMAS FRAME OF MIND.....CHRIST-MASS [WITH TWO "SS”]; THEY THINK SHOULD BE OBSERVED. THE WORLD HAS EATEN IT UP, ALL OVER THE WORLD NOW IT SEEMS, EVEN IF NOT RELIGIOUS.
UNTIL YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS WINTER FESTIVAL AS NOT SANCTIONED BY GOD; CERTAINLY WILLK NOT BE IN THE AGE TO COME, THE TRUTH WILL REMAIN SHUT. BUT YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY SINCERE IN WHAT THEY DO AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR...... BUT BEING SINCERE IS NOT THE KEY TO TRUTH; MANY ARE SINCERE BUT SINCERELY WRONG!
SO GOD IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION TELLS US ABOUT A HARLET SPIRITUAL WHORE; SHE'S CALLED BABYLON MYSTERY RELIGION, AND SHE HAD DAUGHTER CHURCHES COME OUT OF HER, BUT KEEPING MANY OF HER TEACHINGS AND TRADITIONS.....ALL EXPOUNDED TO YOU ON THIS WEBSITE.
I HAVE TO REMEMBER IT IS ONLY GOD THAT CAN CALL AND CHOOSE, OPEN A PERSONS MIND TO WANT TRUTH, AND TO LIVE BY GOD WORD, WHICH IT TRUTH.
IT WAS HARD AT TIMES SITTING THROUGH SUCH A CHRISTMAS CONCERT, WHEN I KNOW IT IS AN ABOMINATION TO GOD, AND ONE MORE DECEPTION THAT WILL BE REMOVED IN THE AGE TO COME, WHEN IT WILL BE GOD'S FESTIVALS THAT WILL BE THE LAW OF WORLD.
