Keep in mind this is the same channel that featured M5 Stewart tanks in a show on WWI. BTW. Saturnalia was between Dec 17 and 23 (it changed over the years), yet from the clues in the Bible, we know that the Star of Bethlehem was a conjunction of Jupiter and Venus, and those clues show us that the Magi visited Christ on the 25th of December, although Christ was born on Rosh Hashanah.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIqga8m8Ae0https://www.uni.edu/morgans/astro/course/TheStar.pdf |

Quoted:
God came down from Heaven and became one of us. Let us remember why we celebrate Christmas. Merry Christmas! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhNjYG-QV2o
Isaiah 53:3-7 (written around 700 years before Christ was born) He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. YES & AMEN COME LORD JESUS; THE GIFT OF SALVATION TO ALL WHO WILL ACCEPT IT. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE ELSE !! |

Quote HistoryThe tree wasn't the sin. It was their heart. It was what they did with the tree. If you have a Christian family in name only and they have the tree,they could fall into the very thing God spoke about. If you have a Christian family that are true believers and the tree is just decoration and fun they do not fall into the sinful part. Their heart is with God not the tree. It is all about your heart. Many will be shocked on judgement day. 2 people can do the exact same thing but 1 will be justified the other condemned. It is all about your heart. Why you did it? Did you kill in self defense or did you kill for evil purposes? Get the picture. |

Creates universe, creates people all from himself. Then creates one person as himself and the other people he created kill that person.

You need to go back to school and develop some reading comprehension skills.<img src=http://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_shy.gif border=0 align=middle> The Bible says that god created man in his image (likeness), not from himself. Nothing in the Bible says that god created "one person as himself." Jesus is god's son, not himself. How's is that so difficult to understand? The other stuff - Christmas, Christmas tree, are pagan symbology used by Constantine to increase his base of donors to increase the church's wealth by bringing in non-Christians. One of the basic tenets of Christianity is The Trinity. SOME Christians. |

and a Merry Saturnalia to you too!!! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/92/Pietro_Bonato_-_Saturno.jpg This. Theodosius tried to ban the Holidays surrounding the pagan Gods, so instead he gave in because the people were upset about it. So he gave them the Holiday and said that's the day when Christ was born. It's a pagan holiday, and you're celebrating a pagan holiday. This is coming from someone who believes Christ is the lord and savior. Just say Merry Christmas. No one knows when Jesus Christ was born. You're lying to people when you do that, which is one of the many reasons it pushes people away from Jesus Christ. |

The cool thing also is that Hanukkah is exactly 42 weeks prior, which means that the Light of the World came into His creation on the Festival of Lights. December 25th is likely the date that the Magi presented their gifts to the Great High Priest, Kings of Kings, and the Lamb of God. |

So Frosty the Snowman, this wonderful and faultlessly good fellow, comes into being (or is "born", if you will) in a miraculous way. He leads his merry group ("disciples", you could call them) on adventures. Due to the wickedness (or sins) of bad people, there comes a situation where Frosty must give his life in order to save those of his flock. Everyone is sad that Frosty is dead. But then on Christmas Eve, Santa Claus (a.k.a. Father Christmas) comes and resurrects him, and whisks him away while Frosty sings, "I'll be back again some day!"
Have you accepted Frosty the Snowman as your personal savior?

Correction, 3 BC, which would have been September 11th that year. I've heard a few "accurate" dates. The fact is they could be, but there's no actual proof. Not saying it isn't a possibility, but people's faith gets shaky when you tell them this is the way it is, and then come to find out it's not the way it is. It makes it really hard to be faithful when that Faith is constantly shaken time after time from people who are mis-guided themselves. |

We don't know for sure what day He was born on.
We are celebrating His birth and that is the point of Christmas. What's important is that God would send His Son to be born as one of us, to die as one of us, and to pay the penalty for us. I don't worry about it not being the exact day of His birth or the pagan traditions that are hundreds or thousands of years old. They mean nothing to me. |

From my research and study, they may not have been there right after the birth. It could have been a few years after his birth. I personally believe he was born in the spring sometime in April. It's fitting for Christ to be born in the spring when new life is abundant. He is new life to believers. |
