Mark 7:6-13
6 He answered them, "Isaiah* prophesied* correctly about you hypocrites,* as it is written:* These people honor* Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.
7 They worship Me in vain, teaching* as doctrines* the commands* of men.*,*
8 Disregarding the command of God, you keep the tradition of men."*
9 He also said to them, "You completely invalidate God's command in order to maintain* your tradition!
10 For Moses* said: Honor your father and your mother;*,* and Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.
11 But you say, 'If a man tells his father or mother: Whatever benefit* you might have received from me is Corban' " (that is, a gift* "committed to the temple"),
12 "you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother.
13 You revoke God's word* by your tradition that you have handed* down. And you do many other similar things.
2 Co 6:14-18
14 Do not be mismatched with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness?* Or what fellowship does light* have with darkness?*
15 What agreement does Christ have with Belial?* Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
16 And what agreement does God's sanctuary have with idols?* For we* are the sanctuary of the living God, as God said: I will dwell among them* and walk among them, and I will be their God,* and they will be My people.*,*
17 Therefore, come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord; do not touch any unclean thing, and I will welcome you.*,*
18 I will be a Father* to you, and you will be sons* and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty.
Gal 1:6-10
6 I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from Him who called* you by the grace of Christ "and are turning" to a different gospel -
7 not that there is another "gospel",* but there are some* who are troubling you and want to change the gospel about the Messiah.
8 But even if we or an angel* from heaven should preach to you a gospel other than what we have preached to you,* a curse be on him!*
9 As we have said before, I now say again: if anyone preaches to you a gospel contrary to what you received,* a curse be on him!
10 For am I now trying to win the favor of people, or God?* Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ.
CONCLUSION:
Christmas is about a PAGAN JESUS ( Man's Teachings ) and not the TRUE JESUS ( Holy Spirit's Teachings )
