Shalom, and Greetings Bill O'Reilly:
For weeks I have been listening to you, Sean Hannity who I deeply
admire, and of course John Gibson who wrote the book, rail and
tongue-lash everyone who opposes and rejects the traditional
Christmas celebration. But in view of the fact that I rarely ever
agree with Ellis Henican from Newsday, and you said to him that you
would like to hear from one rational American who would oppose you
on this issue, I decided that enough was enough!!!
As an Ebionite (see
http://Ebionite.com ), I cover my head in the traditional
biblical prescribed manner -- and as a man of the Nazirene Vow of
Separation, no razor has touched my beard in 21 years, nor my hair
in 10 (see
http://Cronshaw.us ). And while I am not Jewish, few people
would not take me for an Orthodox Jew. So let me begin by telling
you that from a purely Jewish perspective, many Jews are justifiably
offended when they are told merry Christmas. When a man stands in
front of you wearing a Yarmulka and a beard, and you wish him a
merry Christmas, this can be constituted as disrespectful. But
from an Ebionite perspective, the issue is even more of an
abomination.
Personally, many sincere Christians who place truth on a higher
level than tradition, also have good reason to be offended. The
Puritans, as just one example, came to this country to get away from
a government that forced what was a very Pagan celebration disguised
as having anything to do with Jesus upon them. And in early
Puritan New England, it was against the law to celebrate
Christmas. Additionally, Jehovah's Witnesses and many other
Evangelical Christians who have become aware of the Pagan origin of
the celebration as Saturnalia with a new name, are equally offended
by the idea that this traditional day of heathen worship has
anything in common with what Jesus taught. In fact, just the
opposite is true.
Throughout history, there have been many holocausts. One such
holocaust which gets little attention, transpired in the fourth
century when the Roman Emperor Constantine murdered all the Ebionite/Nazirene
disciples of Jesus (see
http://Ebionite.com/prologue.htm ), as well as the more
Spiritual of Christians who have traditionally been called Gnostic
by the Roman Church, because they refused to accept the religion of
the Emperor. And from a spiritual perspective, the religion of
Jesus died as the armies of Constantine hunted down those sincere
believers who were condemned as heretics because they refused to
ascribe to what was perceived to be a total corruption of the very
essential elements of what Jesus taught, and what his teachings were
intended to bring about in the lives of men and women who dwelt in
the spiritual darkness of this world.
In many respects, Christmas, along with Easter, which is the
celebration of Ishtar, the Pagan goddess of spring, should be a day
of morning for truth-seekers. These very Pagan celebrations,
should be commemorated as the true death of the teachings of Yeshua
who most people call Jesus (Zeus/Isis), and the teachings of TheWay
which was never intended to be separate from Judaism, in much the
same way that Hasidism exists today as a more spiritual and
mystical expression of Judaism. Like the song American Pie which
portrays the day the music died, in the celebration of the birth of
the Mithraic Christ, the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay became
outlawed and basically ceased to exist. On the Ebionite web site
you will find a quotation from the Epistle of Peter to James which
not only states that the most important scriptures were never even
given into the hands of the Gentile converts because of their
corruption of the texts and the inability of the heathen mindset to
grasp the higher spiritual principles of the teachings of Yeshua and
TheWay -- but also the fact that if these more spiritual scriptures
were corrupted and lost, that "...those
who really seek the truth, [would perpetually]
always to wander in error."
And yet, with the murder of the true disciples of Yeshua
(Jesus) and the editing and corruption of the biblical texts in
order to make them support the doctrines of Pagan Rome (see
http://BibleCorruption.com ), to "...those
who really seek the truth", Christmas should be
looked upon as a day of morning -- the day the Truth died, and
mankind was cast into the abyss of spiritual darkness.
In reply to your statement that you would like to speak to even one
intelligent man who opposes Christmas, unless you consider me a fool
for my allegiance to Truth over (Pagan) tradition, then you have
indeed met such a man. And in accepting your challenge, I will
post this letter on the Ebionite web site for everyone to see.
Peace, Love and Light in TheWay,
Allan Cronshaw
