Hello,The story of Christ's birth encompasses more than 1 day. The event begins with the miraculous conception which very well might have been on Dec. 25th during the Festival of Lights and of course includes the actual birth and then the shepherds receiving the announcement which is most likely during September or October during the Feast of the…[Read more]

Hi Keith,I admire Mary but don't pray to her. If accusations come then we know the “accuser” is behind it and so we can choose to worry about the accusations or turn them into clay pigeons and blast them Enjoy the season,Kathi

And then there are those of us who can sing this song and be in awe of the event and the babe in the manger.http://I first heard this song in church and by that time I had my fourth baby boy. I was overcome with emotion because I could so relate to Mary as a mother of her firstborn son. I wondered about the amazing plans that God had in-store…[Read more]

Irene,I have moved your post to here:Quote Kathi! Let me ask you a question, if your Son's Birthday is in October, but you celebrate it on a Monster days Birthday how do you think your Son is going to like that. Well, I think He will be upset with you. So what do you think how God feels about alll of this. Since we do know when Jesus Birthday…[Read more]

Irene,I'll copy your post to me and put it on the appropriate thread, then respond. Kathi

Irene,For the Christian, Christmas replaces a pagan holiday, it doesn't adopt a pagan holiday. Christmas honors God's gift of His Son, the pagan holiday did not do that. We Christians can tear down what went before and rebuild a different celebration. Man can institute an annual celebration to honor God…look at Purim and Hanukah. Did God…[Read more]

Bo,Isn't the question whether or not God could produce an offspring with His nature? Or not? I sure could not say with any confidence that He couldn't after all He is God and look around…isn't the creation beyond understanding? If He could create the universe couldn't He produce an offspring with His nature?

Ok Irene…it's all good!Love,Kathi

Hi Irene,I'm glad that you will think about that because Christmas time is all around us and to feel like you can't celebrate it also, especially being a Christian, would be sad and a burden that you should not have been given, IMO. All these wasted Christmas' that you haven't felt the freedom to celebrate makes me feel sad. I do hope that you…[Read more]

Quote (RokkaMan @ Nov. 03 2009,11:13)You know, God will do away with the wisdom of the world?So why waste time, trying to create a logical understanding of Jesus' deity…(I'm sure this is treading on trinitarianism).What do we know about Jesus?He is above men, above angels, above creation, made and unmade….but not above God himself.Even though…[Read more]

Irene,Please don't judge us and say “shame on American here” because we have not posted our concern HERE. That doesn't mean we haven't been praying for the soldiers. It is certainly a sad situation and a tragedy. We do need to appreciate our soldiers and pray for them and especially those suffering. However, just because we haven't posted on…[Read more]

Irene,Listen again, it says that Christmas is about the birth of Christ not the birthday of Christ. Can you celebrate the birth of Christ every year as an organized holiday. Maybe you can think of Christmas as being about Christ's birth and not about Christ's birthday. Do you see the difference? It shouldn't matter who was born on a particular…[Read more]

I'm trying to put up a youtube video.  How do I do that where the video is pictured with the play button showing? Hmmm…let me try this:http://

Ya know, schools are allowed to celebrate halloween, to say “happy halloween” but when it comes to Christmas they turn to “Happy Holidays” and winter holiday parties.  What is wrong with this picture?  Check this song out:http://
