U.S. — Media personality Candace Owens was shocked and appalled today after discovering that Christmas originated because of the birth of a Jew.
"You've got to be kidding me," exclaimed a stunned Owens. "This whole thing -- the lights, the carols, people worshipping -- all this started because of a Jew being born? Ugh. Our entire national calendar revolves around this holiday, and no one talks about that it's all because of a Jew. And we're still pretending like they don't control everything?"
The horrified Owens began tearing down all of her Christmas decorations and throwing them out to the curb, disgusted that she had been tricked by a Jewish plot. Lighting her nativity scene on fire, Owens resolved to expose the villainous Christmas plot her listeners.
"Real Christians do not celebrate Christmas," said Owens the next morning as she began taping. "The fact is, if you're celebrating Christmas, you've been duped by the Jews. You're just a pawn, cheering the birth of a Jew, just like they want you to know. And when I say 'they', I think you know who I mean. The Jews."
At publishing time, Owens had once again gasped in dismay after learning that Easter celebrated the coming back to life of a Jewish guy.
Sad disappointment how she’s turned out.

Why? How has she turned out that you’ve found disappointing?
Couldn’t be the Savior without being both.
Yes. Fully human.
God is if course God. Saying fully God is redundant.
As a human, did Jesus have an ethnicity?
All fully human people do.
“Mary was born of the Immaculate Conception.”

As a former Catholic, it’s with an understanding that this will cause some to pause....
Mary was born of Man. She was a sinner as is the rest of humanity. To say otherwise is to reject that Christ died for all mankind, not all mankind except for Mary.
Sin travelled down the male lineage which is why God the Father intervened the way He did in the miracle of the our SAVIOR.
To say Mary was a sinner is not to invalidate the miracle of the birth of Christ or the cause for His life, death and resurrection.

Matthew 3:9: “I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham”.
It was the act of being a Virgin accepting the role bearing the Christ child that was most important in the timeline of which Mary lived. Normally she could have been stoned and she knew this, even at that young age. She still bowed her head and accepted the responsibility as an honor.
Joseph, her beloved, trusted the LORD God and took Mary still as his beloved wife.
They were fully human and sinners. Yet they both took on the roles as earthly Father and Mother.
I grieve that many over time would rob Mary of the gift of Salvation because they cannot accept she was a woman loved of the Father in Heaven and of a Husband on earth.
(Okay. Off my soapbox.)
“ She is a created being, and therefore not equal to Christ”
Yes. Your comment seemed to say she was equal to Christ. Thanks for the clarification.
“ she is the new Eve, however”
I’m not sure what that means.
It’s basic Christian 101.
“The word italicized here, favor or “grace”, is the root word of the verbal form in question. That is to say, kecharitomene is “grace”, charis, made into a verb (to be specific, a verbal participle). Thus we have from God’s messenger himself an answer to this question, if we are but ready to receive it, namely, Mary is called by this epithet because she had “garnered grace” in God’s eyes through her exemplary spiritual life (cf. the similar praise given to her cousins, Zechariah and Elizabeth earlier in the chapter: Lk.1:6). And that, after all, is the literal meaning of kecharitomene, namely, “having been graced”. Further, because Mary had “found” this favor/grace/charis at some point in the past, by definition she was not born with it. This favor came about from something she did, namely, believing in the Lord and walking in a way pleasing to Him through spiritual growth and service.”

Isaiah 66: “My holy city is like a woman who suddenly gives birth to a child without ever going into labor.” You call that a prophecy of Mary? And if it was, it has ZERO to do with Mary being born sinless.
If Mary could be born free from sin with 2 humans parents, then so could Jesus.
“... God so loved the WORLD... that WHOSOEVER believeth in Him...” John 3:16
” ... for ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God...”
“... God so loved the WORLD... that WHOSOEVER believeth in Him...” John 3:16
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What does “believeth in Him” mean exactly?
Dig a little deeper, read the lineage.
Jesus was the son of the Living God.
God rejects neither Jews, nor Muslims, nor atheists, nor even Satanists.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Source? Chapter and verse?
We have proof that Jesus wasn’t a Jew by the fact that He didn’t make the woman at the well pay him money for the water she brought him. (typed in my best Candace Owen voice)
True. God rejects neither Jews, nor Muslims, nor atheists, nor even Satanists.
But they must repent and turn to Christ, before their decision to reject Christ becomes eternal.

Who told you these things
______________________________________________________
Yes, how does an Atheist repent something they don’t believe?
Glad you put the last part in. I was thinking, “whaaat?”
Do you doubt that anyone (Jews, Muslims, atheists, even Satanists) can repent and convert to Christianity?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I don’t doubt because I KNOW that many non-Christians cannot repent or convert. And if they don’t, so what?
Her, Michael Medved and G.W. Bush most disappointing people to me of the last decade.
Except it was the Romans who killed him.
