Messianic Bible Study Special: Christmas debate pt. 2, Xeilias Canani, Daniel Karalash

Hi all! This study is an attempt at a messianic commentary on the whole Bible that I think is really important for us to do. I think Messianics rarely, if ever, do a wholistic study of the Bible, so I want to throw my lot in and hopefully give my fellow Messianics a way to present their beliefs. With that said, I'm not great at structuring my materials perfectly, so I figured a commentary on the Bible is probably the best way to go about it for my personality.
I hope you enjoy!

In today's special, we are debating whether Christmas is pagan, and we touch on whether Christians should celebrate it.

Our interlocutors include:
Xeilias Canani, the prima podcastia and designated Christmas Champion. He has been a Messianic all his life, and didn't celebrate Christmas until very recently, when his own study of Christmas led him to believe that it was not pagan.

Daniel Karalash, who has been in ministry since he was a teenager. He entered the Messianic movement in his late teens. After his own studies of Christmas, he has been led to the conclusion that it ought not be celebrated because of its pagan origins. He has generally been an entrepeneur throughout his life, he got his undergraduate in legal studies at Harvard, and is currently ministering and working in MO. He is a longtime friend of the prima podcastia, and really played the role of impetus for his entrance into ministerial work.
