When was Jesus born? This is actually a trick
question because Jesus has always existed. The birth in Bethlehem
some 2,000 years was part of a plan that predated mankind and even
the angels when the Godhead decided that God the Son would pay for
the sins of humanity. While Jesus is eternal and can't die, He still needed
a body which He could inhabit and live on earth for a season until
it was sacrificed on the cross. Mary was a virgin who was
impregnated by the Holy Spirit and Jesus indwelt the body in her
womb. This second Adam was a unique human being as the flesh and
bones came from Mary while the sinless blood came from the Holy
Spirit. This is the supposed story of Christmas with its
decorations, gift giving, eating and drinking and merriment. So why do all the traditions of Christmas coincide
with the pagan worship of Tammuz? Why didn't the early church
celebrate the birth of Jesus? The answer is simple. Jesus was never
part of Christmas. It is a tradition dating back to the time of
Nimrod and this pagan Tammuz worship was sanctified by the newly
formed Roman Catholic Church. The apostles focused on the death and
resurrection of Jesus and shouldn't we do the same? Don't believe
the old lie of putting Christ back into Christmas. |
