Exactly, what was the purpose of the Church using December 25th as the time to celebrate the Birth of Jesus the Christ?

How are you so sure that Dec 25th wasn't the time of Jesus' birth?

It's been 2004 years since His birth...

Besides, am I to assume that you don't celebrate Christmas at all? That instead you celebrate the "Winter Solstice"? So no presents or great dinner or getting together with friends or family? After all, thats what most people do then isn't it? Or just not you because it's not part of the religion you believe in?

Lynn's right, the facts don't matter as much as the heart. In my heart, Christmas is the time to celebrate the Birth of Christ, without which there would have been no forgivness for my sins or salvation for me to come back into the arms of the Father. So it doesn't matter what anyone says, I will worship the Lord.

I believe that witchcraft was around before Christianity. That's just one of the reasons Jesus Christ was and is so wonderful. He pulled us out of the dark.

Your right Lynn.....
