I googled the lyrics and they *are* truly strange. I agree with you, though, about the artwork in the video, quite splendid.
I’m no Wise Man, but I stayed at a Bethlehem Inn Express last night.
We’ll leave the light on for ya!..................
Strange lyrics indeed. Sometimes beautiful and respectful, and then suddenly it’s the feminist grievance committee. :)
But the artwork is so beautiful that I seem to go back and watch every few months.
The only thing that bothers me is that we spend more time on celebrating the birth of Jesus in the way we think is Bibical than we do
Sorry, this spelling thing is almost as dumb as i am.
The only thing that bothers me is that we spend more time on celebrating the birth of Jesus in the way we think is Bibical than we do of heeding what Jesus said in his own words.
Jesus said believe in me and you shall have everlasting life.
He also told us some things that we would do if we believe in him.
Some people will say that statement means works and works
is a dirty word.
Yes, works of religion or the law is a dirty word but doing what Jesus said to do can only be right.
What the angels told the shepherds was that THIS DAY was born......
The announcement came at night, AFTER Jesus was born, so it’s just as likely that Jesus was born during the day, which would have given Mary time to rest and clean up, IOW, to be presentable.
NO ONE should be visiting a new mom within a couple hours of giving birth. It would be awkward for everyone, especially a new mom with total strangers.
In Jewish and then Christian tradition, didn’t day start at night, hence they all are?
The visit of the Magi takes place, in Catholic liturgical time, 12 days after Christmas. So they weren't there the night he was born, though Scripture tells us the Shepherds did visit. As far as the 'come into the house' verse, remember, folks were translating from the ancient language into formal English. Maybe they wanted something other than 'come into the stable', though most artwork depicts the Magi doing just that.
was Jesus born in the early morning on Dec. 25 or later on at night on Dec. 25th?
Actually he was born in the spring during tax time, about April.
.
No, he was born at “Tabernacles,” which was September 27 of 3 BC by the current calendar.
He had to be born then or the Bible becomes a joke book.
.
It was a census. Not a tax.
I go back to the Nicene Counsel in Constantinople in 325AD. The foundation of much that we believe was established there. There are certain books of the bible that were not published. And I believe that it there that the date December 25th was agreed on for what we now call Christmas and the birth of Jesus.
.
The Nicene Counsel was a total departure from the scriptures.
That was when the Gospel of the Kingdom was buried in man made pagan nonsense that still reigns today in the halls of churchianity.
Paul predicted its rise; he called it “The Mystery of Iniquity.”
