Bible Question:
(The big Christmas con.) Was December the 25th chosen by the early christian church as the birth date of Jesus the Christ because it coinsided with thw (Saturnalia,) a pagan festival??? the church was trying to discourage the pagan belief system so thay hijakcted a pagan holiday. How much more of the Pagan belief system was hijakcted by the Christian church to insure the use,abuse or menipulation of its followers to insure it's own adjender? |
Bible Answer: Perry5 What day were you born? I imagine some famous person was also born on that day, can we then say you hijacked that day for that person? Your hypothesis is nonsense. If the church picked the last Thursday in Nov you would claim it hijacked a fall day of celebration for the harvest from the Indians and then ponder how much more was stolen from the Indians. Christmas is a day set aside to commemorate and celebrate of the birth of Jesus Christ. Nothing more nothing less. Perhaps pagans celebrate something else on that date but that has no bearing on Christmas whatsoever. Find something meaningful to object to. EdB |
