“Where in the Bible or any of quotes of Jesus would lead you to believe that? Also the idea of Christmas being Jesus’ birthday seems like a stretch as well. That’s what skimming over the BC left me with.”
Where in the bible does it lead you to believe that what the Church teaches is false?
Nowhere. Now as to the definition of Church, we would have a divergence in thought. Mine would be more etheral whereas you think of the worldly manmade institution you call the Catholic Church. Tell me, did your Church really put Galileo under house arrest and threaten him for asserting the world was round rather than flat as your Church officials taught?
