Positive Karma and Holiday Vibrations

In may ways, I hate this time of year. I’m oppressed by the good wishes, good cheer, and holiday spirit. Whatever happened to prayers, thanksgiving, and reverential joy? And Christians think they’ve scored a major victory when they coax a company to use the word “Christmas,” as though that makes a difference. It didn’t to the Jews who wrote all the Christmas songs you hear on the radio. They were simply using the word to divert attention from the Christ, and Christians have always been too stupid to realize that they’re being fooled. It’s a sickness that is born of their new religion of Equality. Here are the top 25 Christmas songs; over half of them were written by anti-Christs, and not a one has much of anything to do with Jesus.
As everyone knows, Thanksgiving has been changed into a “holiday” for giving thanks to friends and family rather than to God. Likewise, Christmas is now an occasion for doing good to others. Corporations love to trot out their list of charities in November and December, which would be fine if it were done in recognition that we would have nothing without the gift of life. Thus have the “holidays” (which used to be holy days) changed from worship of God to worship of men.
I usually hate hearing the songs listed above because I know why they were written. And yet the Light burns. Consider the poem Memories, by the great “racist,” Rudyard Kipling.
Though all the Dead were all forgot
And razed were every tomb,
The Worm—the Worm that dieth not
Compels Us to our doom.Though all which once was England stands
Subservient to Our will,
The Dead of whom we washed Our hands,
They have observance still.We laid no finger to Their load.
We multiplied Their woes.
We used Their dearly-opened road
To traffic with Their foes:And yet to Them men turn their eyes,
To Them are vows renewed
Of Faith, Obedience, Sacrifice,
Honour and Fortitude!Which things must perish. But Our hour
Comes not by staves or swords
So much as, subtly, through the power
Of small corroding words.No need to make the plot more plain
By any open thrust;
But—see Their memory is slain
Long ere Their bones are dust!Wisely, but yearly, filch some wreath—
Lay some proud rite aside—
And daily tarnish with Our breath
The ends for which They died.Distract, deride, decry, confuse—
(Or—if it serve Us—pray!)
So presently We break the use
And meaning of Their day!
Christmas is short hand for Mass of Christ. We sell ourselves short and quite when we just get out the gates. The history of hymn writing is a dismal one. Most paraphrases turn into nothing but mushy-mush, and this is what the holiday music industry specializes in/cements. I think a lot of this is a problem of the church. In bowing to man and tepidness in culture, they wrote the first ‘evangelical’ hymns, watering-down the faith. I’d like to see a return to regular psalter singing, canticles, and old church hymns that deal fully with the uniqueness of Christian life and faith. In the age of globalism and inter-faith councils, waterdown is par for the course. Many psalters are filled with imprecatory prayers, cursing the enemies of God. Also, solid declarations of the trinity are all over ancient church/chant hymns. We could go far returning to old pathways.
Clarke- yes, “Christemass’ DOES mean “Christ’s Mass” for it was then, that the Church of the Ages celebrated the Incarnation of God among Men, by the instrumentality of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Neither Luther, Calvin, nor Cranmer were so ‘stoney-hearted’ as the modern ‘neo-pseudo Puritans’ of the ilk that tries, (every year) to make us all feel dour, sour, and crabby, like Ichabod Crane.
Most of the great hyms are GREAT BECAUSE they inculcate TRUTH. Think of the lines, ‘veiled in flesh, the Godhead see, Hail the Incarnate Deity, Pleased as Man with men to dwell, Jesus, OUR Emmanuel.’
IT wasn’t the Anglicans, nor the Orthodox, nor the Lutherans, nor even the Roman Catholics prior to Vatican II that ‘watered down the hymns.’ All of that rests firmly, unequivocally, at the “Evan-jelly-goo’s” feet of clay.
From an early date hymns were written to help reveal scripture. Most ancient hymns were not only biblical in theme but very scriptural, using fragments of scripture from psalms, gospels, and prophets to compose spiritual songs, punctuating such with trinitarian formulas. There was very little ‘paraphrasing’.
Though non-scriptural, non-heretical (paraphrase) hymns did slowly multiply in the church, they were always a small portion of song. For the most part the church sang Psalms and Canticles– direct scripture. Then when the reformation hit, Luther was the first to really rewrite hymns and music for two reasons.
1. to bring lay people into worship with public song. Thus, venacular replaced latin and congregation singing phased out monastic choirs. I think this was one of the great successes of the reformation and positive thing for the most part.
2. but Luther also wrote new hymns with new doctrine in mind, namely justification by faith alone. So under Luther hymns have less and less a teaching faculty and more and more become propagandistic.
Now, I don’t think Luther was all that bad. I think his intentions were fairly sincere, but Luther did open the door. Isaac Watts, Charles Wesley, and the other tent revivalists are the real culprits. These men really opened the gates to free verse hymns. Then the unitarians, abolitionists, and modernists get into it, using hymns to create a loving, more deistic, feel-good, creator God. Then before you know it you have jews writing frosty the snowman.
Hymns with scripture follow the same story. When scripture became somehow autonomous or ‘above’/outside the church (a traditional interpretative framework), it could be twisted into all sorts of nefarious purposes. Same is true with hymns. Hymns today reinforce many denominational errors and modernism itself.
Get ye every one to a shopping mall and turn over as much paper money to jews in exchange for Chinese-made junk as possible to celebrate the birth of… the Holiday Season.
Christmas could be counter-subversive if we pressed the fullness of it. It is the incarnation of the Christ child. Word made flesh. The Virgin made full with the Holy spirit and Child. These have been themes and truths the Jewish ruling class have been trying to extinguish for millenium. They have now watered it down with, as TJH says, debt and cheap, planned obsolensce goods from China. In the old days, when peasants decided to run the Jews out of town, they’d burn down a synagogue and build over it a Christian church. Often these churches were named “St. Mary’s” in memory that the Jews truly hated and denied the Virgin birth of Christ and the incarnate God. The old jewish, favorite lie was Mary was a whore. So it was fitting to dedicate a chapel to the ever-virgin and infant Jesus. This is the time of year to fight Jewish humanism with nativity scenes, crosses and I say procession marches. Also, within the twelve days of christmas is Holy Innocents. Holy innocents was once remembered for all the babies King Herod murdered. today we recollect the abortion mass murders. But also in medieval times, holy innocents recollected the kidnapping of children by rabbis and jews who used infant body parts for jewish kabal. Holy innocents was also a good time of year to surround a synogogue, raise it, adn rebuild a chapel to Christ and the virgin. The Jews are destroyers and their goal, like their father the devil, is to kill as many seed of the woman as they can before they go to the flames themselves. Christmas is a time for us to reflect on the uniqueness of our Lord, both his humanness and Divinity, and HIs promise and comfort to the Church– that he will never leave us, has given us the Holy Spirit, and shall come again. We use the advent season and our sundays to prepare for His return, to judge all men. Removing the asheroth poles and synagogues of Satan would be a fitting preparation and penance. Alas, we must respect the laws in Babylon and suffer. Only a changed heart will solve break this yoke, not breaking laws. etc.
