Ralph Woodrow RECONSIDERED
By Pastor G. Reckart

Picture on the left is Ralph Woodrow who recanted that Christmas was pagan, kissed Santa Claus under the mistletoe and then turned to give a public announcement that Catholicism Christmas was not pagan after all.

"Christmas Reconsidered" is the name of Ralph's catharsis.  In it he recants Christmas is pagan.  Now it is time to "reconsider Ralph Woodrow" if he is for real or a made-up person all along also. The man cannot be trusted to be real any longer.  We will never know when he will deny something else he has written.

Many have reconsidered Ralph Woodrow and have determined he is not only a flip-flop, he has shown us how men cave in when they get old and their minds are no longer fresh with clear thinking.  Once Ralph's hair turned white he started thinking how he and Santa Claus favored and suddenly came to the conclusion the papacy was right about Christmas, Santa Claus and Rudolph.

What happen to Ralph Woodrow is called  apostasy!  He fell away from the truth about the paganism of Christmas.  He compromised, backslid, and recanted all in one Christmas day.  

Ralph has made plenty of money selling his books and he pumped one more out which he hoped would settle the Christmas controversy forever.  He wrote it for self-justification. Thirty pieces of silver for Judas and perhaps $10,000 US shekels for Ralph. I predict the sales of this book will not be much maybe thirty pieces of silver will come into his purse. Later when he finds out he sold the real Jesus for vacation cash, he can go throw down his profits on the floor of the Vatican.

How did it happen? When the paganalia season swept the land in December 1998 a man who has been looked up to as a vanguard against all things pagan joined at last with the Catholic Church and began celebrating Xmas. He started eating things connected with this idol's day and we are told moved an idol right into his home. He ate Christmas dinner in the presence of his idol, something he will NEVER GET AT THE BIRTH OF JESUS NO MATTER HOW HARD HE WORKS TO SCHEME IT UP!

Ralph Woodrow came out of the closet!  He was dressed in a Santa costume greeting all with "Ho, Ho, come forth"! Some looked at him with shock and wonder.  Look Ralphie, take that costume off!  Who paid you to put on the Santa suit?  Woodrow hurried back into the closet stroking his white hair backward.  On the shelf under his newly purchased Easter Bunny costume he found his old Bible.  He dusted off the cover and flipped to the back page, the blank one just after chapter 22 of Revelation. He patted his shirt pocket for his glasses, and reaching inside the Santa Claus suit he dug them out.  He read down the page of his notes until he found it.  Yes, yes, there it is, the Bible verse that converted him to Christmas.  He opened his Bible to the place and came bursting out of the closet with a shout:  Up Dancer, Prancer, Vixion, and Rudolph. But the cardboard animals did not budge. They had ears but could not hear. So Ralph turned to those near and shouted: Listen all ye that have ears.  Here is a verse of the Bible that proves Santa is from the North Pole and this means Christmas is not Pagan.  He began to read with great excitement:

Ho, Ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the North (Zech 2:6).

Now in the land of Woodrow fantasyland, they had observed Ralphie at oft times stand up and throw his hands toward the north shouting "ho, ho, come forth." He would raise his hands over his eyes and look to the east if expecting Elijah's charriot to appear with Santa Claus at the steering wheel. Ralphie, if you prophesy to the north for Ho Ho, then look to the north my lad. Ralphie turned to his audience and spoke: Verily, verily I say unto thee what I say unto all, watch for Ho Ho to come forth from the north. He that believeth in Santa Claus has not sinned but has come from darkness into light. See everyone, in ancient days Santa was not called "Santa Claus"  he was called "Ho, Ho." And see right there, he comes from the North Pole!  I have a new revelation Christmas and Santa Claus are not pagan, I recant to the Catholic Church, I apologize to the Pope of Rome, I wanna come home!  Please welcome me home!  I'm looking the Bible over again and I believe in time I'll find the Easter Bunny and turn him lose too."

Ralph Woodrow recanted and said nothing more in his "Christmas Reconsidered" then repeat the same ole arguments of the pagans for the celebration of it. Even now Catholic priest who had been silenced by the pagan accusation, are quoting Ralphie to show how the Protestants have lost a great defender to the papacy. Now consider how the Pilgrims who came to this country believed Christmas was pagan. Consider they came to these shores of the USA because they were persecuted for their faith in Europe. They fled from the power of antichrist forces. They refused to be in bondage to paganism via Catholic traditions and doctrines of men. They came to America for religious freedom to live according to the Bible and not the dogmas and decrees of Rome. How many died that year they came! And next year these who refused to celebrate the pagan Christmas observed a Thanksgiving unto God for the preservation of their lives. Now Ralphie and the papist will celebrate Thanksgiving after the practice of the Pilgrims but if Mr. Woodrow had been in Plymouth he would not have been allowed in the camp much more to feast at their Thanksgiving. Ralphie is a certified and confessed hypocrite. With one face he will welcome Santa Claus and all the paganism of Xmass and with the other show up at the Thanksgiving table. What shall be said about Ralph Woodrow except he has failed his own heart and mind and that is the greatest loss of all. Others who read his diatribe and accept it always wanted to celebrate the paganalia anyway. Those who have escaped the polutions of the world will trust not in what Woodrow writes but in the Word of God. And be sure: THERE IS NO CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION IN THE WORD OF GOD!

Woodrow accepts that the Mass of Christ's birth is not evil and not pagan.  He says the word Christmas is not evil or pagan.  Wonder what else about the papacy he has recanted?  Wonder if he has kissed the Pope's feet or his Dagon fish ring? Will he approve the confession booth next year?  Will he say it's ok to have a rosary and pray on beads to Mary?  One wonders just when Woodrow will become monsteristic and join one of the orders.

Let the world know that Ralph Woodrow either lied when he was against Christmas or he is lying now!  I say he is lying now.  Christmas never was a celebration of the Apostles and early Church and he knows it.  But, he writes in his book the Bible says nothing about Church buildings, wedding vows, retreats, etc. etc.  Ralphie, let's get one thing straight ole boy.  If a Church building was pagan we would not have them.  If weddings were pagan in origin we would not have them.  If retreats were pagan we would not have them.  Come on Ralphie, compare apples and apples.  Paganism is paganism and comparing the acceptance of a Nimrod bush (Christmas Tree) with church buildings, weddings, and retreats, shows you have lost your mind.

For those who cherish the Word of God and know it teaches against idolatry in all forms, let me encourage you not to take up the celebration of Christmas because this white-haired Santa Claus look-alike has recanted.  We expect a whole lot more men and women to fall by the wayside and recant to the antichrist before the end of the tribulation.  This is a warning to all who have Ralph Woodrow books; toss them into the garbage.  If you want Truth get it from a fountain that does not flow from Rome and the Papacy.  Woodrow is now a papist.  Anyone who is deceived by him and his changing winds of doctrine, will not be saved.

Christmas is pagan and all who celebrate this day are in the sin of idolatry.  Take Christ out of Christmas he does not belong associated with a pagan helladay.

Ok Ralph its been seven years now you can take off the Santa Claus suit.  You can take the Nimrod bush out to the curb and lay down his dead body for the garbage man to pick up.  I have one final question Ralphie:  did you accept Santa because your hair turned white and you finally saw yourself as the real Ho, Ho, Claus? Was your gift to the world your acceptance that Christmas was not pagan? Is this your dying legacy? Have you sung your swan song?

OTHER FALSE DOCTRINES OF RALPH WOODROW

Woodrow believes all of Matthew 24 was fulfilled in 70AD.  He is therefore a Catholic Preterist for that is where his doctrine originated.  He believes there is no coming verses in all the Gospels that refer to a future coming of Jesus.  He teaches Jesus fulfilled all those coming verses in 70AD.  He teaches then the "past trib" doctrine.  He believes all the tribulation is past and was completed in 70AD.  All that remains is an any second coming of Jesus, the end of the world, and the final judgment.  He believes Jesus came in 70AD after the tribulation of those days.  He has refused to say if there was a resurrection at that coming of Jesus.  He claims the coming mentioned by Paul in first and second Thessalonians have all taken place already.  He claims all the tribulation judgments mentioned in the book of Revelation in the Seals, Trumpets, and Vials, were to be upon Israel and Judea, "wrath upon this people."  Ralph has slipped off into the Catholic Doctrine of Preterism.   No wonder Santa Claus was so easy to accept!  With the Church  already raptured and nearly all the Bible completed in fullfillment, Ralph has a different Church now then the one pre-70AD, a different Gospel then the one pre-70AD, and a different Jesus then the one preached pre-70AD.  Since Mystery Babylon is past why is he still selling his trash about the Catholic Church and the two Babylons?  What purpose does it serve when he has Mystery Babylon destroyed in 70AD centuries BEFORE THERE WAS A CATHOLIC CHURCH?  Ralph is a confused man! The way back to the papacy and Rome is Santa Claus and the Preterist doctrine.  Ralph Woodrow has gone HOME!
