There is no scriptural basis for this that I know of, it is possibly oral tradition. In keeping with Hebrew festivals, which or not on a Gregorian calendar but follow the lunar cycles, the exact date of Christmas is probably Hannukah! (Just my thought)
December 25 is Rome’s Jesus birth . That makes the 8th day January 1st,where Rome’s Jesus was circumcised. That also makes February 2nd the 40th day from the birth,which would be the day Rome commemorates their Jesus being presented in the temple.
Each of those days are Holy days in the Roman Catholic church- secular world has also made those ‘holidays’ interestingly too.
People should know those are not the right days, but they are ‘accurate’ according to the numbering that Torah states. Rome has done their homework.
Problem is, with study, a believer can know the Savior’s genuine birth day, day of His circumcision on His 8th Day, and His presentation in the temple 40 days after His birtn, that would prove Rome has counterfeited the days (substituted/instead of/in place of) that would prove The Word became flesh.
That pattern is found in the scriptures. And it is confirmed within His Creation. And it is quite an eye opener.
Like a completely different Savior comes to life. One that Rome counterfeits subtlety with its own Holy days, its own catechism, and its own Roman Pope Gregory calendar.
And the counterfeits don’t stop at the teaching of the Savior’s Birth- Rome tells a different story for the Lamb’s death,burial and resurrection, too, from what His Word and His Creation tells us.
It isn’t something people can see fully without Him showing us. The world calling today Friday, according to Rome, is the first false step of conformity- it feeds the blindness to Truth.
And the Truth will set us free!
Halleluyah!
And Jew and Gentile eyes would be open to the Word made flesh, according to His Word and His Creation, not according to Rome’s teaching from its catechism and calendar.
So subtle but that is how the enemy works.
