Bible Study Santa Claus is a lie, so why are Christians spreading lies?

[tzalam2]

Christmas is a pagan holiday, and the birth of Jesus was infused into the pagan/demonic holiday, by the Catholic church, in order to win more converts.
In other words, the Catholics, at that time, became "friends of the world".
Do you all celebrate this day as all the lost people do?
Do you know the reason behind the Christmas tree, the decorations, the yule log, santa claus, etc.?

I'll get to the bottom line, and pose a question that I posed in a synagogue:
Does God ever ask a person to lie?
Does God ever condone LYING?
All the Jewish congregants unanimously agreed, NO, God never tells us to lie, and lying is a sin.
So, when you go along with SANTA CLAUS, and tell your children Santa is real, and you bring santa storybooks to your children, aren't you LYING TO THEM?
What does JESUS say about causing a little child to be confused?
HERE: But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Did you hear that?

Thanks for the link.
Looks like some wolves in sheep's clothing still exist in the churches, to confuse and destroy the doctrine of Christ, though.
Evidence:

My kids belived in santa when they were very young , but I also told them the story of Jesus birth and that is why we celebrate Christmas. My kids are fine caring adults and beliveing in santa didn't turn them into pagans.
and.........another wolf:

Anywho, I still believe in the merit of Santa Claus if that's what you're asking (and I know it's not). I still believe that children need fantasies and need to play make-believe.

Personal vendetta? No. Sick of Christians attacking things that aren't worth attacking while ignoring bad stuff? You betcha'. You attack something else that doesn't need any attacking and I'll defend it just as strongly.
and........another wolf in sheep's clothing:Funny…Santa Claus, or more appropriately Saint Nicholas, was a Christian…Did you get that…a Christian.

It is so funny that people nowadays do not realize that Christmas is about Jesus Christ and His birth...not buying gifts, and all that other fluff.

No, Christmas isn't about Jesus. It's a pagan holiday, decorated by the Roman Catholic Church. Santa is still a lie, and it's still a sin to lie.

I'm glad you showed me this topic discussion, though. It has informed me about the various tactics used by lost people, to lead ignorant or baby Christians to destructive heresies.
Now, is there also a topic on Easter?
The paganism of ISHTAR?
