Bible Question: Conducting a research project: Why do we say that Jesus was born on December 25th. Is this not paganism to celebrate a holy day? Horus was born on December 25th thousands of years prior to Mother Isis... |
Bible Answer: We are not saying that Jesus Christ was born December 25. History tells us that during the birth of Jesus there are country shepherds abiding in the field and keep watch over thier flocks by night. Lu 2:8 ¶ And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. Lu 2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. all we all knew that december 25 in bethlehem is very cold, icy or snowy. So if you are the sheppered of those flocks you will not going out with you flocks with that kind of wheather, aside from that sheep are not ice eater (joke) In catholic encyclopedia volume 2 it was recoreded that in the first 330 years of christianism birth of Chirst was celebration was on january 6 (three kings as of today) December 25 indeed was the same date of the fest pagan God of Rome "Satur" or saturnilla "god of sun" there are denomination celebrates Christmas on December 25, there are also that do not. although we can celebrate the Christmas everyday in our hearts, by serving God, nieghboors, and human beings. I hope it would helps. God bless, |
