Guest guest Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I can remember when I first learned about this, since I was a brain-washed parsonage-ite! One year at work my boss let me put up a sign that read: My God is not a babe in a manger Everyone thought I was a pagan. thea Please note: forwarded message attached ___________Click here for free information on earning a criminal justice degree today. To this I say, AMen ---- Carol Hartwell 12/6/2007 9:10:28 AM Re: Christmas Facts I would like to add to the Christmas Facts:Jesus was not born in December at all. The Israelites were told to go to their hometown to register and they went beginning of October (our calendar). It was warm. Shepherds do not sleep out at night in December even there - it is cold just like the northern USA in December.The fact you included in your facts say that the pagen festival to the sun god was at the winter solstice and the date was chosen to "christianize" the pagens. This is true.Nowhere is the true date of the birth because the birth of Jesus was not apparently celebrated by him, his family or followers. In fact, he said to memorialize his death annually.You can figure out the date though as Oct 1 or 2. Many Christians do not celebrate this holiday because of the facts.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 OH I dunno but that struck me funny. If you "dis" Santa, then people tend to think you're not Christian neither<!

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Ah yes, Matthew's genealogy is that of Joseph, while Luke's is the genealogy of Mary. It is interesting to note that both Mary and Joseph were in the Kingly lineage from David to Jesus. However, Mary (as a woman in Genesis 3:15) was who Jesus came to us through. Otherwise, God wouldn't be the FATHER!! And I am just glad Jesus was born -- and I am glad that we have a free salvation -- only having to believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. I ain't doing nothin' more - as I can never be "good enough" - but HE says I don't have to be -- I'll take it cause it is the only thing I see that is "FREE"!! And yes - we are quite sure that Jesus wasn't born in the winter time. And, who cares when HE was born. I just don't like all the hype of the Xmas (remember when your parents yelled and yelped about that one) season which is so pagan of us. I serve a master by the name of Jesus - who is alive and well at the right hand of God the Father, and I don't worship HIM as a babe in a manger. thea ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- This same comment was asked as a question on another group I am in.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 In Luke 1:26 - "in the sixth month of the Jewish Calendar Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David." I am not sure how the sixth month would equal our months as we know them. But I am sure it took 9 months -- thea ------ Forwarded Message ----------But May?- "Celtic Valkyrie" <celticvalkyrie49Monday, December 10, 2007 3:59 AM Re: Christmas Facts> Hi...> I am thinking it can be found in (Matt 1:2-17) and The> Christmas Story in the Book of Luke.> > Val> «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»§ - PULSE ON WORLD HEALTH CONSPIRACIES! §Subscribe:......... - «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»Other like groups: MedicalConspiraciesSubscribe: MedicalConspiracies- Post message: MedicalConspiracies Any information here in is for educational purpose only; it may be news related, purely speculation or SOMEONE’S OPINION.
