Santa the False God!!!!

Satan comes as an angel of light appealing to the emotional side of our being.  If he can make us enjoy emotionally the idea of a fat man in a red suit, someone who travels all over the world blessing children with gifts, with fictitious flying reindeer, elves and other fantasy minions, it is hard for mankind to resist this kind of exciting sentimentality.  This Santa does miracles in the minds of the children, even more exciting than what Christ did, because he comes with presents and happy fun.

2 Corinthians 11:14 "No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light."

 

Since happy emotion is so enjoyable, it is hard to evaluate anything that is presented to us under these conditions.  Emotional sentimentality is addicting, it demolishes all reason causing those who fall into the mesmerizing obsession to hold fast to what makes them feel so wonderful, even fighting to maintain it the same way a drug addict has to have his next fix when he is coming down from his high.

Teaching children to love Santa, while at the same time teaching about Jesus is to lump Christ into the same category as any other cartoon character.  We see cartoon pictures of Jesus, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the Bunny at Easter and other animated figures throughout the year, give the impression that Jesus is also a mythical cartoon character to enjoy. 

The gospel is hindered by this travesty, the Bible becomes nothing more than a book of suggestions by one of the cartoon characters and obedience to Christ is unimportant. After all, the children are told Santa is keeping a list whether they are naughty or nice, but never keeps anyone accountable to that list and everyone still gets to have their gifts, food and holiday fun, no matter how they lived that year.

Why do children have any reason to trust their parents when they lie to them about these characters?  Can we not see that making up stories for fun teaches children to make up their own rules while following their own desires above all else?

The standard for "good" in this life of fantasy is so low, it has no value at all.  Our present culture considers someone good if they are friendly or kind to people no matter what sin they are involved in.  Friendly and kind is defined by accepting sin and making no judgements at all about anything. 

Is it any wonder that this generation has no inclination to "obey" or "respect" anyone?  They were told all their lives that obedience was an insignificant matter, that we only honor those who say and do what we like and the enemy are those who attempt to bring accountability, submission or compliance to a standard that God has given in the Bible.

2 Timothy 4:3 "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,"

Whether or not we celebrate the birth of Christ is between us and God, however I state unreservedly that teaching children to love Santa, is an abomination, it places Santa on a god status while enticing children to love someone who not only does not exist but also purports to teach salvation by self-effort. 

As a child the Bible accounts seemed exciting enough there was no need for the fairy stories.  Going with the world leads only one place and that is to hell for the unbeliever and a faithless and dead life for the believer. It has been the devils goal all along to confuse the truth, there is no better way to negate and demean Christ than to place Him in a manger as a helpless plastic baby while Santa is the savior of the world, bigger than life on every street corner, every mall and even in many homes, brining everything we want that pleasures us.

NO!!!! SANTA IS NOT HARMLESS, JUST THE OPPOSITE, HE IS A FALSE GOD CONCOCTED BY THE DEVIL TO DISTRACT AND CONFUSE.
