Nicholas" or "Saint Nicholas.

The followers o:f "St.
Ni~holas"
or Nimrod are termed "NICOLAITANES" IN THE NEW TESTAMENT! So
those people -- who falsely called themselves "Chris tians"
continued to honor Nimrod
in
the days of the Apostle John!
just as they do today!
Today, on what date is "St. Nicholas" or Nimrod
especially HONORED?
Is
it December 25? Yes! But why?
The Romans used to celebrate December 25 as the
Saturnalia -- the birthday of Saturn or Nimrod. And is it any
wonder that December 25, Nimrod's purported
birthda~
_s STILL
CELEBRATED IN HONOR OF "NICHOLAS" -- NIMROD -- THE FIRST GREAT
DESPOT.
Yes, Santa Claus -- just a shortened form of Nicolas,
the Greek name for Nimrod --is Nimrod deified. It is he
-- and not Jesus Christ -- whom the professing Christians serve
to this day, and whom they honor at Christmas! And there were
individuals in the Church of God in those days who tolerated
such practices and even indulged in them!
