I am not saying celebrating Christmas did not come from pagan roots BUT I am saying I am glad the KING of the Jews was born. I would say he was born maybe in oct...that is what I came to the conclusion many years ago...however I was not there...but I am glad He came.
personally, I believe He was born during the feast of the tabernacles...but that also is debatable.

Let's not confuse what is being spoken of here. I would like to remind those of you that are posting that I'm not saying nor have I ever said that Jesus wasn't born or that His birth was not special. Mary was to be called blessed by ALL GENERATIONS, but we do not take that to the extreme. Now that I said all this I must continue to remind you all that it's not Jesus' birth that is in question, but a pagan Roman Catholic holiday that was never practiced by any first, second or third century Christians.
My you all have fun in your celebrations of Dec 25th I'm just saying that the holiday is man's tradition and not God's.
In Jesus name
