Kim claims Christmas is simultaneously six different pagan festivals — the internet is thick with misinformation about Christmas origins

Chapter on Christmas in Kim's book. Kim says celebrating Christmas means unknowingly worshipping pagan deities and ultimately Satan.

Joo-Cheol Kim Christmas pagan origins claims
Mike Winger idea 2018-08-22

Refutation of the six Christmas-pagan claims: Baal was not a sun god and had no December 25 festival; Nimrod was never deified with a December birthday; Saturnalia ended before Dec 25; winter solstice is Dec 21; Mithra's Dec 25 birth is a modern myth; Sol Invictus December celebration may postdate Christian observance

Mike goes through each of Kim's six claims one by one.

Mike Winger idea 2025-10-17

"Mockers and scoffers" is not a blanket prohibition on criticizing false prophecy. God himself mocks false prophets (Ps. 2), and Elijah mocked the prophets of Baal. Mocking and scoffing are condemned when directed at truth, not when directed at false claims made in God's name. Calling critics of date-setting "scoffers" is a manipulative rhetorical move that shields false prophecy from accountability.
