Christmas Deception: What the Bible REALLY Says About the Nativity

🚨 SHOCKING TRUTH: What the Bible REALLY Says About Christmas & the Nativity Scene 🚨

🗡️ This expository sermon was delivered at Pilgrim Baptist Church in Cookeville, TN on Sunday, December 14, 2025, at 2:00 pm. 🗡️

Did you know the nativity scene you've seen your entire life is biblically inaccurate? Pastor Fortunato delivers a powerful message exposing the false idols and traditions that have replaced biblical truth during the Christmas season.

What You'll Discover in This Message:

Were there really three wise men at the manger? ❌ The Bible reveals a completely different story. Pastor Fortunato walks through Matthew 2 and Luke 2 to expose common Christmas myths that have shaped our understanding for generations—from the "three oriental kings" to the little drummer boy that never existed.

Learn the biblical truth about when Jesus was actually born (hint: it wasn't December 25th), why angels don't have wings, and where the wise men really showed up. This sermon tackles tough questions about Christmas traditions, Santa Claus idolatry, and how modern Christianity has mixed pagan elements with biblical worship.

Key Topics Covered:

✓ The wise men myth—how many were there really and when did they arrive?
✓ Biblical timeline proving Jesus wasn't born in winter
✓ Why angels in nativity scenes are portrayed incorrectly
✓ The little drummer boy deception and other unbiblical characters
✓ Santa Claus: America's greatest idol exposed
✓ How to worship God in spirit and truth without adding to Scripture
✓ Breaking free from traditions that make God's Word of no effect

This isn't about being a "Grinch"—it's about putting Christ back in Christians. If you've ever questioned why churches celebrate Christmas with unbiblical traditions or wondered what the Bible actually says about the nativity, this message is for you.

Scripture References: Matthew 2, Luke 1-2, Job 38, Daniel 8-10, Deuteronomy 12, Mark 7, Ephesians 4, 2 Timothy 3-4, Titus 2, and more.
