Deepertruth: Christmas Special Part 5 Was December 25 to coincide Pagan Feast
Christmas Special Part 5 Was December 25 to coincide Pagan Feast John 3:16 states, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life". When I look at well known figures in history, there are a lot of them well known who lived before the birth of Christ. People accept history and records their date of births like Pluto (428-348 B.C.), Socrates (471-399 B.C.), and Julius Caesar (100-44 B.C.) as examples, but when it comes to Jesus Christ, the most important name in history that split time from B.C. to A.D., some people just can't accept Jesus Birthday. The Gospel writings do not give a clear date within it's pages, but what about the Tradition of the Church, that history handed down, can we be sure of Christ's birth? Does it really matter? To be honest, many people would not care that much about it one way or the other. But for Deepertruth, we believe that Jesus as a historical figure is every bit as important as Pluto, Socrates, and Caesar, actually, Jesus is infinitely far more important. Jesus Christ was born December 25, 2 B.C. and he died April 3, 33 A.D., we will show though the next few weeks during Advent showing from Scripture, history, tradition, and science that this is true.
