I wasn’t “controlling” anything. By citing this scripture about how we are fighting principalities and powers and that our jobs are to pull down all intellectual and mindful arguments that resist the knowledge of God (the definition of a stronghold)... you have added nothing to the edification of the Body by constructive criticism of this author’s assertions that the Lord was born on September 11th.

In fact, you have weirdly proved an inadequacy and lack of understanding of the Scriptures by posting what Paul wrote.

Did you just look up the word “edification” and post this because Paul uses the word here?

Weird and LOL.

It was to introduce the humility and authority of the Apostle to the Gentiles while showing the erroneous use of the word edification in post 98. It would be logical to follow up with Second Timothy if a word to the wise is not sufficient.

Is there a particular faith community teaching this birthday date and time, or is it only the referenced lawyer ?

If one understood the Apostle Paul, and one cared about real edification according to the scriptures, one could avoid the error of claiming "When Was Jesus Christ Born? The Bible Says September 11th - The Feast of Trumpets", or Jesus Christ was born on September 11, 3 B.C sometime in that eighty-one minute span of time between 6:18pm and 7:39pm.

The scriptures give the location and the purpose of the birth of Jesus Christ. There is no mention of the date and time at which Jesus Christ was born.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

...

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
