Black Spirituality Religion : "SILENT NIGHT, HOLY NIGHT..."

[Aqil]

As historian Jenna Joselit notes, some Jewish leaders criticized the tendency of immigrant Jews to accept Christmas as an American consumer ritual. Writing in The Menorah in 1890, Rabbi Kaufman Kohler asked, "How can the Jew, without losing self-respect, partake in the joy and festive mirth of Christmas? Can he - without self-surrender, without entailing insult and disgrace upon his faith and race - plant the Christmas tree in his household?"

Yet, Rabbi Kohler admitted, Hanukkah - as then celebrated by American Jewry - could not hold a candle (so to speak) to Christmas. Kohler said of the comparison: "How humble and insignificant does one appear by the side of the other," and suggested that Hanukkah needed more pizzazz if it was to compete with Christmas...

Re:"Silent Night":

Bethlehem was so crowded that Joseph and Mary had to go into the overflow space at the local inn (which would have been in the stable, where they kept the animals). There would have been animals around. Shepherds came through town looking for the inn, and coming in to the stable undoubtedly excited by the angelic visitation. Jesus as a baby would have been crying from his birth, at least at the first, and the animals may also have stirred both from that and from the commotion from the entering shepherds. Would you consider that a silent night?

and what is truly ironical about these "Christmas Carols" is that many of these songs were written by Jews, who don't believe in Jesus!

That's really no surprise. Anything to make a buck, I guess.

Christmas is the most important Christian holy day. Since it celebrates the birth of the Christian world’s Messiah, and since Jews do not accept Jesus as Messiah, Christmas cannot come within the area of Jewish celebration. Yet the Jews are the greatest promoters of this Christian holiday. This is so because - more than any other time of the year - their financial profits and gains are huge...

(Btw, the idea of the trinity is incompatible with the religion of Judaism.)

I wouldn't say it's the most important, because not all Christians view it as a holy day, but many see it for what it is; a pagan celebration said to celebrate the birth of the Christ, though it doesn't.

The Holy Days are described in the Scripture, and the day of the resurrection of the Holy Son is more Holy to celebrate, week after week, than that Christmas celebration year after year.

The fact the Jews do promote it to us should be a hint that it shouldn't be celebrated, because they'd not promote anything truly to do with the One they don't believe has salvaged Israel(who aren't them, by the way) and a whole people beyond(such as the gentiles) by His sacrifice in the Body for our sins.

They hold a grudge against our Savior because He knows they are fake, and shall be the One to reveal their lies. They definitely wouldn't want any celebrating His true birth. They want to promote all He doesn't want Christians involved in, which is greed, materialism, selfishness, covetousness, and anything that'll break the commands of the Father, which many false Jews say aren't commandments but are "guidelines". Sickening and sinful.

We just need to hold fast to faith, and believe in all the Son has taught, told, and revealed. Trust in the Father, and not the ways of men.
