Georg,From what I read, choosing the 25th of December was motivated out of reaching out to the pagan world and giving them a real reason to celebrate a birth of a true Son of God. That sounds like good intentions to me. Georg, surely you can see that if Christ was born in September as many say, His conception was at the end of December during…[Read more]

No Pierre, I am not pagan. I celebrate Christmas in a Christian way, not a pagan way.

Irene,Christians are celebrating His birth, His conception, and the story surrounding it with the shepherds, the angel's announcement, and the Magi traveling from afar to come to worship Him and that all didn't happen on one day. You are right that some of the Christmas hymns say that Jesus was born 'today' and refer to Dec. 25th and that is…[Read more]

Pierre, you want candy…that's made me smile.We differ on who is at #4 but we are very, very close and that's good.

Quote (kerwin @ Dec. 29 2010,03:35)To all,I am here to point out that unless you are fully mature in Christ there are most likely points where you are decieved and deceiving others.  It is my hope the deception comes from ignorance and not corruption.  I am of the opinion that if Ed J. is at fault his fault comes from either carelessness or not f…[Read more]

Edj,Since you are flooding my inbox and then you end up posting the PM's here anyway, which is fine, I will just wait to read them when they show up here. That way you can't accuse me of being 'selective.' I will just wait for you to spend the time reposting them…it saves me time that way.

Pierre and Irene,That account that Irene put up was not about when Jesus was conceived, it was about His birth. It says that He was probably born at the end of September which would make His conception at the end of December. At the end of December the Jews celebrate a manmade/God initiated festival of Hanukah. That festival has to do with…[Read more]

Hi Irene,You should check out how the Jews celebrated Purim. Also, Irene can you tell me about when Jesus was conceived?Thanks!

Guess what Edj, you are falling apart. Don't you see your anger and pride here?
