Jesus or Joshua? (bibles-scripture)

posted by fezik82, Ohio, 11.06.2009

I believe that the translation comes from "Yeshua", so you may be right. Jesus Christ is our translation. We do have a "J".
Yes, Yule. Actually, I think that it was pure genius to take a pagan holiday and turn all of the focus to Christ. They decided to take the date of Dec. 25, rather than June (the date The Church believes to be Christ's birthday), to draw the worshipers of Yule towards God. Apparently it worked beautifully... there are no Yule worship festivities! Oooh, and we got a lovely tree out of it as well. If you must insist that Satan planted everything, does in honestly make sense to you that it would be the celebration of God? The shepherds were there to honor Christ on the day of His birth. Job's family regularly celebrated birthdays. Christ celebrated Hannuka. We celebrate the birth of our Savior. How do you know that it was not Satan who planted all of the apologetics books that the Church bashers apparently can not live without?

Please elaborate on your "beast" thought? You may be confused about Constantine. He sinned greatly... but then converted, much like Paul who wrote nearly 1/2 of the NT. Perhaps it would do you some good to learn the difference between the Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire as well.
