Yet he embraces traditional Christian teaching on Deification as justification for his teaching?

Because it's not about the terms and labels but the origins. Christmas actually came from paganism, that is a historical fact. Deification did not.
You know some of the denominations are those that celebrate Christmas and Easter but ignore the biblical commands of the Lord. For example they will never fail to observe Christmas and Easter but they do not observe the sacraments of baptism and Communion. This is clear proof they have degraded into paganizing ways, away from Christ and the bible.
