Prosecutors Prosecute NOT Celebrating Christmas - their way.
What happens when religious freedom meets the heavy hand of the law? Our latest episode takes you through the tumultuous journey of the Sound Doctrine Church in Enumclaw, Washington, where the church's traditional Christian practices have come under the judicial microscope. Allegations suggest a disturbing pattern of manipulation by Prosecutor Simmons and his team, targeting the church for its unique and devout practices, such as the "poor boxes" initiative. This case raises profound questions about justice and religious liberty, challenging us to rethink how faith-based communities are often misunderstood and misjudged within the legal system.
As the holiday season approaches, we grapple with the clash between sacred Christian values and the consumer-driven customs of modern Christmas celebrations. Through poignant scriptural insights, we critique the commercialization of what should be a holy observance, questioning the sincerity of charitable acts that arise from materialistic impulses. Our discussion calls for Christians to resist "Commerce Day" temptations and focus on spiritual integrity, advocating for a renewed dedication to a pure form of worship. Tune in to explore how believers are called to transcend worldly influences and embrace a more meaningful Christ Mass.

Prosecutor Simmons Against Sound Doctrine Church
Speaker 1: Best to start celebrating Christmas with Santa, elves, overeating, drinking, etc.
Speaker 1: Etc.
Speaker 1: Because if you are accused of a crime not celebrating Christmas his way, well, this is evidence.
Speaker 1: The crime happened.
Speaker 1: Judge Laurie K Smith's courtroom of fools.
Speaker 1: 4.
Speaker 1: Indeed, the accused crime was a pretext to destroy a Christian church that had been set up by City of Enumclaw policeman Grant McCall.
Speaker 1: Policeman McCall is a King James Bible-only Baptist who scripted out the accusations to the manipulated accuser.
Speaker 1: Prosecutor Simmons and King County prosecutors were using such vile lies, twists of facts and exaggerations to run out of town the Christian Sound Doctrine Church located in Enumclaw, washington.
Speaker 1: 5.
Speaker 1: For the Record, both Prosecutor Simmons and the manipulated accuser lied as Sound Doctrine Church did in fact celebrate Christmas for decades, just in a holy manner.
Speaker 1: Prosecutor Jason Simmons Leading Lies.
Speaker 1: According to Prosecutor Jason Simmons, who was trained at a thoughtless, groupthink-inbred law school in Seattle, evidence of a crime is that one does not celebrate Christmas.
Speaker 1: Wake up.
Speaker 1: Muslims, jews and Jehovah Witnesses Better start celebrating Christmas pronto, because if you are accused of a crime, king County prosecutors will condemn you for not celebrating Christmas.
Speaker 1: Never mind, this discussion had zero to do with the alleged crime.
Speaker 1: Prosecutor Simmons was using the accusations to prosecute Sound Doctrine Church, see trial video.
Speaker 1: Does Sound Doctrine Church celebrate Christmas?
Speaker 1: Seattle?
Speaker 1: Jason Simmons prosecuting poor boxes no Manipulated accuser Defense attorney.
Speaker 1: Doesn't Sound Doctrine Church celebrate Christmas in a different way with poor boxes?
Speaker 1: Manipulated Accuser.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I forgot about that Right.
Speaker 1: The Manipulated Accuser forgot about an event that the whole church was excited about and would spend the rest of the year putting coins in the boxes.
Speaker 1: The joy of watching all the children gather up coins and shaking down the adults for their money.
Speaker 1: Putting coins in the boxes, the joy of watching all the children gather up coins and shaking down the adults for their money to put in the poor boxes, was a pleasure in itself to watch.
Speaker 1: As the good book declares, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said it is more blessed to give than to receive, acts 20.35.
Speaker 1: This, as reasonable individuals figured out, is a total lie and a mute point intended to produce a Lynch Law conviction.
Speaker 1: Note this was a prosecution in Seattle, washington that somehow it is criminal not to celebrate Christmas.
Speaker 1: Truth Sound Doctrine Church did celebrate Christmas, but in a holy manner.
Speaker 1: Each year, with great excitement and fun, everyone created poor boxes.
Speaker 1: Oh, the horror of it.
Speaker 1: Then, during the whole year, sound Doctrine Church placed their spare change yes, coins were used at one time in the boxes.
Speaker 1: At the end of the year, all the monies were combined and then given to a worthy charity not associated with the church.
Speaker 1: The Tract.
Speaker 1: A Holy Christmas.
Speaker 1: The word Christmas comes from Christ Mass a holy time to thank God for his son Jesus.
Speaker 1: Notice, however, that it must be a holy time.
Speaker 1: Holy means to be separated unto God, and being holy means to separate from the sinfulness of the world.
Speaker 1: In fact, to be holy in God's sight, each Christian must come out and be separate from the unclean things in the world.
Speaker 1: Therefore, come out from them and be separate, says the Lord.
Speaker 1: Touch no unclean thing and I will receive you.
Speaker 1: 2 Corinthians 6.17.
Speaker 1: In order for a Christian's worship of Jesus to be pure on December 25th, it must be distinct from the world and according to the Bible, after all, it is the birthday of Jesus.
Speaker 1: We celebrate and we should want to bring gifts that please Him.
Speaker 1: The first gift we should offer to Jesus is purity.
Speaker 1: Let us read more of the Scripture about coming out and being separate.
Speaker 1: Do not be yoked together with unbelievers, for what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?
Speaker 1: Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
Speaker 1: What harmony is there between Christ and Belial.
Speaker 1: What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
Speaker 1: What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols?
Speaker 1: For we are the temple of the living God, as God has said.
Speaker 1: I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they will be my people.
Speaker 1: 2 Corinthians 6.14-16.
Speaker 1: This is very clear when we combine the traditions, patterns and religions of the world with our worship of Jesus, we sin.
Speaker 1: In short, you cannot have an evergreen tree, gluttony, self-indulgent gifts, entertainment and idolatry of the family alongside celebrating the birth of Jesus.
Speaker 1: The Israelites tried mixing all of these things together and stirred up judgment from an angry God.
Speaker 1: Notice in the following passage, however, that the Israelites built an idol in the name of the Lord.
Speaker 1: When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said Come, make us gods who will go before us.
Speaker 1: As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him.
Speaker 1: Aaron answered them Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing and bring them to me.
Speaker 1: So all the people took off their and bring them to me.
Speaker 1: So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron.
Speaker 1: He took what they handed to him and made it into an idol, cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool.
Speaker 1: Then they said these are your gods, o Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.
Speaker 1: When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced Tomorrow there will be a festival to the Lord.
Speaker 1: So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings.
Speaker 1: Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.
Speaker 1: Then the Lord said to Moses Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt.
Speaker 1: Exodus, chapter 32, verses 1 through 7.
Speaker 1: Looks just like Christmas, doesn't it?
Speaker 1: They gave up their gold to buy a golden calf.
Speaker 1: They rose early and got church out of the way so that they could sit down to eat and drink.
Speaker 1: Just like today, they had offerings, prayers, tithes and hymn singing.
Speaker 1: They gave God fellowship offerings, no doubt saying that they loved him and wanted to serve him.
Speaker 1: God called them a corrupt people who merely used his name to indulge their sinful desires.
Speaker 1: Just as the church does today, the church is corrupt in its worship of Jesus on December 25th, indulging the flesh while enticing others who would not normally attend church to join in and sing unto God.
Speaker 1: Instead of preaching that all are under the judgment of God, the church feeds their bellies and has a party before a holy God, proving once again that the real God in the church today is people's stomach.
Speaker 1: Philippians 3.19.
Speaker 1: We have forgotten something about God's mercy and peace, and this error is clearly reflected in our Christmas cards.
Speaker 1: Those cards often say Peace to all men and end there, but that is not what Scripture actually says.
Speaker 1: God declared peace to men on whom His favor rests.
Speaker 1: This will be a sign to you.
Speaker 1: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.
Speaker 1: Suddenly, a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel praising God and saying Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace to men on whom his favor rests.
Speaker 1: Luke, chapter 2, verses 12 to 14.
Speaker 1: And God's favor certainly does not rest on those who act unholy on December 25.
Speaker 1: For God only accepts a faith that is obedient and unpolluted by the world.
Speaker 1: Romans 1.5, james 1.27, 1.5, james 1.27, 2.18.
Speaker 1: The Christmas Tree.
Speaker 1: Like the idolaters of old people today bring a tree into their homes and churches, following the customs of the world.
Speaker 1: After all, christmas originated from a pagan celebration of the winter solstice.
Speaker 1: In Rome, the Feast of Unconquerable Sun turned into a celebration of the birth of Jesus after Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire.
Speaker 1: This borderline, unimportant fact underscores the truth that God never commanded us to worship him with an evergreen tree.
Speaker 1: Deuteronomy 12.4.
Speaker 1: The church made an unholy compromise between the world and Jesus.
Speaker 1: In doing so, it became an enemy of God, as does every church, christian ministry or group today that combines the customs of the world with worshiping God.
Speaker 1: You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God?
Speaker 1: Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
Speaker 1: James 4.4.
Speaker 1: Just read the scripture below and you will see clearly how it sounds.
Speaker 1: Just like our Christmas tree.
Speaker 1: Just as Jeremiah warned, the church has learned from the world.
Speaker 1: It learned how to celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25th from the world, and it is total sin.
Speaker 1: Hear what the Lord says to you, o house of Israel.
Speaker 1: This is what the Lord says Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by signs in the sky, though the nations are terrified by them, for the customs of the people are worthless.
Speaker 1: They cut a tree out of the forest and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel.
Speaker 1: They adorn it with silver and gold.
Speaker 1: They fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter.
Speaker 1: Jeremiah, chapter 10, 1-4.
Speaker 1: The choice is clear the cross or the Christmas tree.
Speaker 1: Although we claim the star on the top of the tree points to God, we still bow down to get our gifts.
Speaker 1: This is the very heart of idolatry to bow down to something in order to get what we want.
Speaker 1: After all, it is supposed to be Jesus' birthday, not yours.
Speaker 1: Who ever heard of going to a birthday party and bringing a gift for yourself?
Speaker 1: Just try that with one of your friends and see what kind of reception you receive.
Speaker 1: Arrive early with a big present and tell the person having the birthday party that the gift is for you.
Speaker 1: If friends will not praise you for this, why do you expect God to accept your Christmas gifts?
Speaker 1: If you want to give gifts to Jesus at Christmas, here is Jesus' wish list.
Speaker 1: First, do not invite your family over for dinner.
Speaker 1: Then Jesus said to his host when you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives or your rich neighbors.
Speaker 1: If you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid.
Speaker 1: Luke, chapter 14, verse 12.
Speaker 1: Show an attitude of hating and despising money.
Speaker 1: In other words, don't care anything about presents, christmas bonuses or days off.
Speaker 1: No servant can serve two masters or days off.
Speaker 1: No servant can serve two masters.
Speaker 1: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
Speaker 1: You cannot serve both God and money.
Speaker 1: Luke 16.13.
Speaker 1: Give all your presents to Jesus by giving your gifts away to the poor.
Speaker 1: Tell others that whatever they plan to give, that you will give it to the poor who need it more.
Speaker 1: Sell your possessions and give to the poor.
Speaker 1: Provide purses for yourself that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys, for where your treasure is there your heart will be.
Speaker 1: Also, luke, chapter 12, verses 33-34.
Speaker 1: Make sure all cold or lukewarm worshippers of God are thoroughly rebuked and not allowed to come to church on December 25th.
Speaker 1: That only those who plan to repent, coming to church all year long, loving God and others deeply, will be permitted through the door, for of this you can be sure, no immoral, impure or greedy person, such a man as an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Speaker 1: Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things, god's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
Speaker 1: Therefore, do not be partners with them.
Speaker 1: Ephesians 5, 5-7.
Speaker 1: Spend time fasting and praying rather than feasting and indulging the flesh with food, sports and relaxation.
Speaker 1: Fast from all the anxiety that comes from the preparation for Christmas.
Speaker 1: Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap.
Speaker 1: Luke 21, 34.
Speaker 1: These are only a few gift suggestions.
Speaker 1: You can, of course, find many more suggestions in the Bible.
Speaker 1: Which Cup God wants us to choose?
Speaker 1: From which cup we want to drink?
Speaker 1: Either we drink fully from the cup of demons or from the cup of the Lord.
Speaker 1: All others who are lukewarm will be spit out of the mouth of Jesus.
Speaker 1: You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too.
Speaker 1: You cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons.
Speaker 1: Are we trying to arouse the Lord's jealousy?
Speaker 1: Are we stronger than he.
Speaker 1: 1 Corinthians 10, 21-22.
The Problem With Christmas Customs
Speaker 1: God will never tolerate a church that takes on customs of the world and tries to worship Him with those customs.
Speaker 1: As we saw earlier in Ephesians, chapter 5, verse 5, such impure Christians have absolutely no share in heaven.
Speaker 1: They worshipped the Lord, but they also served their own God in accordance with the customs of the nations from which they had been brought.
Speaker 1: 2 Kings, chapter 17, verse 33.
Speaker 1: True Christians have their own customs in righteousness and purity.
Speaker 1: True Christians have their own customs in righteousness and purity.
Speaker 1: True Christians abstain from pleasing their sinful desires.
Speaker 1: On December 25th, for this reason, peter pointed out that they are aliens and strangers in this world.
Speaker 1: Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires which war against your soul.
Speaker 1: 1 Peter 2.11.
Speaker 1: Let us admit the truth.
Speaker 1: In reality, we do not celebrate Christmas, but Commerce Day, a time of indulgence, money buying, selling, eating, drinking and pleasing oneself.
Speaker 1: Even those who do something charitable at Christmas usually only do so to ease their guilty consciences.
Speaker 1: The Christian publishing world uses Santa Claus or Satan Claus to sell its books, cards, videos, candies and gift assortments.
Speaker 1: Instead of a time when disciples hate their own lives John 12.25,.
Speaker 1: Christmas is a time of vile corruption.
Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, may we leave our fleshly customs behind and celebrate a holy Christ Mass.
