HOW TO HAVE CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR

How can I have Christmas every day of the year ?

Phil 2:5-11 
5   Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Realize where Jesus came from !
6   Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

John 1:1-18
(vs 1)		In the beginning was the Word, 	
		And the Word was with God, 		
		And the Word was God.			
(vs 2)		The Word was in the beginning with God.
(vs 3)		All things were made by Him
		Nothing was made without Him.	
(vs 4)		In Him was life,
		And that life was the light of men.
(vs 5)		And that light shines in darkness,
		And the darkness does not comprehend (overcome) it not.
(vs 9)		That was the true Light, which lights every man
(vs 10) 	He was in the world,
 	The world was made by Him, 
  	The world did not know Him
(vs 11)	He came to His own, 
His own did not receive Him.
(vs 12)	But to those who received Him, 
to them He gave power to become the sons of God, 
Even to them that believe on His name.
(vs 14)	The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, 
(and we beheld His glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father,) Full of grace and truth
(vs 18)	No man hath seen God at any time, only the begotten Son,
And He has declared Him.

How well can you recognize false teaching ?
1.	Jesus Christ was a human man that demonstrated ideal truth, but never claimed to 
be God.  (Christian Science)

2.	Jesus Christ was a medium of the highest order.  (Spiritualism)

3.	Jesus Christ is Michael the arch-angel, the first creation of Jehovah.  
	(Jehovah Witness)

4.	      Jesus Christ is Jehovah, the first spirit child of Elohim and his wife.
Satan himself is a spirit-brother of Jesus Christ  (Mormonism)

5.	      Jesus Christ failed in his mission.  He was not supposed to die on the cross.  
God is now grooming a new Messiah.  (Moonies)

6.	      Jesus Christ was, at best, a great ethical teacher.  There is no proof of God’s 
existence.  (Unitarianism)

7.	     Jesus Christ was the reincarnation of King David.  He achieved union with the Divine 
Mind and did many miraculous things.  Everyone who achieves the same union can do the same things!   (Unity)

8.	     Jesus Christ was a man who kept all of God’s laws and became God.  Jesus Christ, 
alone, of all humans, has so far been saved!  (Worldwide Church of God – 
Armstrong)

9.	     Jesus and Satan are brother who must resolve their differences before the universe 
can have its peace  (Satanism/Occult)

10.	     Jesus Christ was a man who achieved higher states of self-knowledge, but was 
unable to attain total godhead.  (Scientology)

	Hebrews 1 – Jesus Christ is God’s Final Word
1	God, who at sundry times and in divers manners 
spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2	Has in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, 
by whom also he made the worlds;

3	Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all 
things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Col 1:15 ff – Jesus Christ is God Himself
Col 1:15   Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

1:16   For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

1:17   And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

1:18   And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

1:19   For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell;

2:9   For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
