khia: It should be kept forever, throughout the generations of the children of Israel wherever they are. That our people may remember how YAHUAH delivered our fathers with a mighty hand and great judgements. They were not in Israel when they ate the first PASSOVER and when they got to the land, they still kept the passover. Exodus 12 24 And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever. 25It will come to pass when you come to the land which the Lord will give you, just as He promised, that you shall keep this service. 26And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ 27that you shall say, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice of the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households. |

Re: Christmas Was An Illegal Pagan Holiday In The US Until 1836. by MuttleyLaff: 2:16am On Aug 03, 2020 |
donnie:Save the pity for yourself, because you sure do need it more than I do. You are just like Pontius Pilate, who doesnt know what truth is. Do you understand the difference between invention and discovery? A discovery is about obvious truth, while an invention, is like you a black skinned African arrogating yourself for an olive skinned/yellow skinned/ reddish-brown skinned true born real McCoy physical Israelite/Hebrew/Jew, an obvious lie, a created fiction, fantasy manufactured by you. What is the obvious truth I am alleged to have challenged, hmm? I am still waiting for the answer to the question, you and khia are busy fumbling with. The question again, is biblically speaking, where, traditionally, is the Passover meant to be celebrated? (i.e. location, the particular place et cetera) |

khia:There is no answer to your ill thought out question. As far as history is concerned, no white man called the continent Africa and/or African(s) after himself.

khia:The country called Israel is in the Mediterranean Sea region aka Levant region. Now enough of your evasion and/or dodging-the-question games. Are you going to tell: 1/ Biblically speaking, where, traditionally, in Israel, is the Passover meant to be celebrated?

MuttleyLaff: jamesid29:As you can see from what I wrote, the conversation was not about the most likely birth month of Christ based on current assumptions we make today....the conversation was about whether the 25th date itself was derived from pagan origins or independent of it and also on if Constantine was responsible for choosing the date(which is historically incorrect). It's quite telling though, that you ignored most of what was written by me and only pasted out a very minute part of the conversation.(effectively putting it in a different context and misrepresenting what was originally meant and discussed). jamesid29: Considerable time has passed enough for you to brush up on any truth decay by now. You were tentative as can be seen from the above reproduced immediate two mention extracts, if you now are certain, kindly then revisit the thread so we roll on from last rendezvousThat post marked as edited out was a post on how we in the 21st century usually overestimates Constantine's influence on christainity. Constantine was influential no doubt but quite a number of things being ascribed to him today by blogs and al were either before him, after him or sometimes just plainly untrue. It was edited out that same day because like I wrote above, it would take us down a different conversation and I didn't think that was necessary. I'm pretty sure it was you who left the thread and I just assumed you went to check up on the historicity of the things that were presented. The thread is still open for you to present your reply on what you think is incorrect... 1 Like |

MuttleyLaff: Mr Mutt. I can see you are determined to misrepresent the whole conversation and only present the part you know we both largely agree on while intentionally leaving out the crust of the conversation which was always jamesid29:. Maybe you should start reading from where we started and work your way down incase you want to recall what the conversation was about. (Our entire convo was 3 posts in total so it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes). https://www.nairaland.com/5602350/where-it-bible#85329096 Or at the very least read the entire statement I made when I briefly touched on the September dating To your remarks about the September date as the birthday of Christ... I know of it also and I know it's the best bet calculations we have as of today but with a gun to my head, I wouldn't lay my down my life on the certainty of September as the birthday of Christ and I don't know of any body (most of whom accept the September dating) who would stake their careers on saying definitively that September is the exact month Christ was born( the answer is usually " most likely" ). The problem is with such little information given in the scriptures and very little extra biblical account of his birth written in reliable sources, we are mostly forced to make assumptions in our calculations that can't be proven. It's like accurately calculating the creation date or when exactly the flood of noahs time happened down to the day and month. There's such little information available that it's like trying to pull water from a rock. For me I like to play such datings safe hence my goto answer being "it's unclear"... but if someone is persistent and just wants a best guess date, I'll say the most likely dating is September with the information we have today but I will still butress my statement with "that's the best answer we have with the assumptions we make currently" But If you sir are convinced totally with the September dating, that's also fine as either way doesn't touch on the tenets of faith or doctrine. Again this was not the bone of contention... How the date itself was arrived at and if it had its origins with Constantine or paganism was the bone of contention. And trying to use the part I edited out about how modern people ascribe so many things to Constantine which are not factual (so we don't derail the conversation into another rabbit hole), to seem like I changed my mind and added things to the conversation after the fact when you know that is not true is something I quite frankly didn't expect from you.... but it's all good. Like I said earlier,it is well... Atleast you guys should stop guilt tripping others with informations that are not historical and factual especially for things that don't add or remove from the major tenets of the faith. 1 Like |
