xmich: APC is lying.Buhari is cheating.Osinbajo is deceiving.Tinubu is grumbling.Brooms are breaking.Change-slogan is ending.APC members decamping.Boko Haram ending.Jega crying.Rain is falling.Umbrella is covering.Jonathan is smiling.PDP is winning.Nigerians are celebrating. Transformation agenda is continuing.Joy is coming...my Rhymes are still flowing with glowing & prevailing facts dangling in ur face as u're commenting, liking or replying.Haters are weeping, abusing & twisting the truth without sound reasoning.Lovers are jumping, clapping & liking without stopping because what's happening now is what we've been expecting. We're winning & not stopping no matter how they're hating & frowning! Those seating on the fence are wondering why many are "liking" Replying & commenting.Is it confusing? Oh! it's amazing! Buhari is in confusion, his deception in high proportion, his perception, discrimination, disposition & expression a question of miscalculation 4a Presidential position: let's make that correction with our PVCs in the election. Osinbajo's decision to follow deception, political-perversion & wrong direction in desperation 4a vice-presidential position is an illusion & a distraction to his profession & faith-assertion. APC with agression & desperation causing commotion wants to win election without our decision. Tinubu's possesion & wealth acquisition via corruption needs attention 4 prosecution. Jega refused resignation; in his consideration "Buhari should win the election" but when God makes decision to speak no interruption or evaluation because He's beyond human comprehension. Vote umbrella without intimidation or distraction cos that's ur obligation for Transformation Agenda to reach completion. APC members are giving confirmation that we're in the right direction dumping APC's gyration for umbrella's provision & protection. Jonathan shall win election cos it's his portion to take position in Aso Rock 4d 2nd term till our promotion, expectation, celebration, jubilation & the North's liberation from B'Haram's destruction comes beyond our imagination. Fellow Nigerians, I xmich says, congratulations 2u 4beleiving this information cos ur coronation of elevation comes shortly after # GEJwinsTheElection , just like ur flows cos it reminds me of fluids in thermodynamics back in the days when euler equation has to be crammed without jam after eating yam from the farm. Thereafter, we had to barb afro like pharaoh before we go solo cos of sorrow. One love bro. |

Christianity Etc › Re: Yes, Christ Was Really Born On December 25 by emjoe1: 12:31am On Dec 27, 2014 |
Ubenedictus: The Catholic Church, from at least the second century, has claimed that Christ was born on December 25. However, it is commonly alleged that our Lord Jesus Christ was not born on December 25. For the sake of simplicity, let us set out the usual objections to the date of December 25 and counter each of them.
Objection 1: December 25 was chosen in order to replace the pagan Roman festival of Saturnalia. Saturnalia was a popular winter festival and so the Catholic Church prudently substituted Christmas in its place.
Reply to Objection 1: Saturnalia commemorated the winter solstice. Yet the winter solstice falls on December 22. It is true that Saturnalia celebrations began as early as December 17 and extended till December 23. Still, the dates don’t match up.
Objection 2: December 25 was chosen to replace the pagan Roman holiday Natalis Solis Invicti which means “Birthday of the Unconquered Sun.”
Reply to Objection 2: Let us examine first the cult of the Unconquered Sun. The Emperor Aurelian introduced the cult of the Sol Invictus or Unconquered Sun to Rome in A.D. 274. Aurelian found political traction with this cult, because his own name Aurelian derives from the Latin word aurora denoting “sunrise.” Coins reveal that Emperor Aurelian called himself the Pontifex Solis or Pontiff of the Sun. Thus, Aurelian simply accommodated a generic solar cult and identified his name with it at the end of the third century. Most importantly, there is no historical record for a celebration Natalis Sol Invictus on December 25 prior to A.D. 354. Within an illuminated manuscript for the year A.D. 354, there is an entry for December 25 reading “N INVICTI CM Bleep.” Here N means “nativity.” INVICTI means “of the Unconquered.” CM signifies “circenses missus” or “games ordered.” The Roman numeral Bleep equals thirty. Thus, the inscription means that thirty games were order for the nativity of the Unconquered for December 25th. Note that the word “sun” is not present. Moreover, the very same codex also lists “natus Christus in Betleem Iudeae” for the day of December 25. The phrase is translated as “birth of Christ in Bethlehem of Judea.” The date of December 25th only became the “Birthday of the Unconquered Sun” under the Emperor Julian the Apostate. Julian the Apostate had been a Christian but who had apostatized and returned to Roman paganism. History reveals that it was the hateful former Christian Emperor that erected a pagan holiday on December 25. Think about that for a moment. What was he trying to replace? These historical facts reveal that the Unconquered Sun was not likely a popular deity in the Roman Empire. The Roman people did not need to be weaned off of a so-called ancient holiday. Moreover, the tradition of a December 25th celebration does not find a place on the Roman calendar until after the Christianization of Rome. The “Birthday of the Unconquered Sun” holiday was scarcely traditional and hardly popular. Saturnalia (mentioned above) was much more popular, traditional, and fun. It seems, rather, that Julian the Apostate had attempted to introduce a pagan holiday in order to replace the Christian one! Pls how can you reconcile the fact that Jesus lived for 33yrs and 1/2 which pple commomerate around March or April every year with him being born in 25th December? Thus, if one assume him to be born on April and add the remaining six months, it takes you to October, not even November. Talk more on December. Kindly enlighten me, because I'm still confused about that. |
