Jesus was born on April 17th in 6 B.C. (by documented astrological proof) - he was born in the spring time and not in the winter because all "lambs" are born in the spring time that's why he is constantly referred as the "Lamb of God". He was born in a stable to signify humility, not glory, just as he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey which was also a sign of humility, the roman commanders rode white horses to signify power and glory. the gifts that Jesus received as a baby were: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. gold = signifies King of all Kings by kingly rule, frankincense = priests of all priests, myrrh = sacrifice of all sacrifices Frankincense is a resin that is burned for its aroma which was pleasing to God. Myrrh was used for incense, perfume, and medicine but was the most bitter of herbs. Origin of Christmas - The Traditions and Controversies December 25th each year has absolutely nothing to do with that blessed day, In fact, most of the customs and traditions of Christmas actually pre-date the birth of Jesus, and many of them are downright deceptive in their meaning and origin. Here are a few examples: The date of December 25th probably originated with the ancient "birthday" of the son-god, Mithra, a pagan deity whose religious influence became widespread in the Roman Empire during the first few centuries A.D. Mithra was related to the Semitic sun-god, Shamash, and his worship spread throughout Asia to Europe where he was called Deus Sol Invictus Mithras. Rome was well-known for absorbing the pagan religions and rituals of its widespread empire. As such, Rome converted this pagan legacy to a celebration of the god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god during the winter solstice period. The winter holiday became known as Saturnalia and began the week prior to December 25th. The festival was characterized by gift-giving, feasting, singing and downright debauchery, as the priests of Saturn carried wreaths of evergreen boughs in procession throughout the Roman temples. Variations of this pagan holiday flourished throughout the first few centuries after Jesus Christ, but it probably wasn't until 336 AD that Emperor Constantine officially converted this pagan tradition into the "Christian" holiday of Christmas. the is a significant difference of just reading the bible verses studying the bible............ HOSEA 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children. So what is the bible main purpose? why should you read it? 2 TIMOTHY 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, Happy Holidays
