ping for later.
“Possibly.”
We have to be careful about the “knowledge that puffs up.” A revelation from the Lord will also elicit humility. Could it be this easy? I don’t know, however we would also be right to ask, by the same science, how a star light years away could locate Magi without modern technology to the Nativity to the accuracy needed. Explanations that posit a localized supernatural phenomenon instead of (or in addition to) a star as we know it, seem to make more sense. But just IMHO.
Thanks for posting this! I’ve seen it before but couldn’t remember what the name of the video was. It’s very well done, and I’d recommend it to all!
Excellent!!!
Here’s a description of the video:
“Scholars debate whether the Star of Bethlehem is a legend created by the early church or a miracle that marked the advent of Christ. Is it possible that the star was a real, astronomical event? From Producer Stephen McEveety (The Passion of the Christ) comes an amazing documentary on the Star of Bethlehem. This presentation as seen by tens of thousands in the U.S. and in Europe explores the exciting truth of scripture and reveals the evidence for God’s existence as seen in the stars above. Presenter Rick Larson walks you through Biblical and historical clues revealing the incredible significance of this celestial event as well as the vastness of God’s creativity. Discover the secret of the Star - a secret of magnificent beauty.”
Simple math from the Bible shows Jesus to be born during Feast of Tabernacles late Sept. Starts with the conception of Jesus’ cousin John the Baptist the year before. Isn’t it cool how the Bible has all the correct info?!!!
Who is Mark Larson? Is he affiliated with a particular Church or denomination? He mentions his website, do you know the web address? This is very interesting but I would like to read about it also. Thank you for the information. Merry Christmas!

Cool
How backwards we have gotten it that we need *scientific proof* to validate the written word of God.
Like now we can have confidence in it because science proved it so.
God is not validated by science. On the contrary, Jesus did His miracles to validate His message. He appealed to that which man could not verify or explain to validate His message.
I have watched this numerous times and have shown it to others and it made quite an impression. It’s the best explanation I’m aware of by far of the star.
Wonderful.
Staggering.
And yet, unsurprising in some sense, because of the absolute greatness of our God.
Thanks.
Bump for later
Mat 2:2 saying, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him."
Mat 2:3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;
Again?
The thing that I find most fascinating about this presentation is the light it sheds (pun intended) on reconciling the different infancy narratives of Matthew and Luke. Thank you for posting this.
