Linus Explains What Christmas Is All About

 

You can watch the video/gif here. Thanks to 'the Sour Kraut' for bringing it to my attention that when Linus says the words "Fear not" he drops his security blanket. The implication/symbolism is huge.

The Star Of Bethlehem

Although I get a kick out of posting Christmas memes and cartoons … I have to say that the scientific proof disproves any connection between the birth of Jesus and the December celebration of Christmas. (But like I said, that doesn't stop me from posting copious amounts of Christmas memes and cartoons because ... people look at you strange if you post them in September, lol.)
I don’t celebrate Christmas in December but before anyone rebukes me … that doesn’t mean I’m telling anyone what they can or should do. I do me, you do you.
The preponderance of biblical and scientific evidence tells us that Jesus wasn’t born on December 25th, not even in the month of December. Research of the Bible has shown that the stars prove that it was September the 11th, 3 BC that was the birth date of Jesus. More and more Biblical scholars have done elaborate studies of the movement and placement of the stars and the Biblical records and the only date that works is September 11th. The Bible also makes specific mentions regarding the conception of John the Baptist and that date has a direct relation to the date of the birth of Jesus in the months of September or October.
The days immediately preceding December 25 were when the Romans celebrated Saturnalia, a festival for the Roman titan Saturn. Many believe that December 25 was selected as the day of Jesus’ birth so that Christmas would replace Saturnalia. Some Christmas traditions are at least similar to aspects of the ancient Saturnalia celebration.
I’m not condemning anyone who celebrates Christmas on December 25th but don’t let it cloud your ability to make informed decisions and to know the truth.
And celebrating or not celebrating Christmas on the 25th doesn’t make you ignorant or evil. It’s just very enlightening to know what the Bible says and be able to justify your actions and beliefs.
About 10-15 years ago I came across an article and then I bought the documentary that explains the main reason that I came to the truth. You can read about the date of Jesus’s birth in many articles online these days because more and more churches and scholars are putting it out there now.
If you want to check out where I first started my journey to the Biblical truth of Jesus’s birth, go to:

The Star Of Bethlehem
https://bethlehemstar.com/

IT'S AN ASTRONOMICAL MYSTERY. A strange star is claimed to have appeared at the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. This site is an investigation of the story found in the Biblical Gospel of Matthew, a story often called the 'Star of Bethlehem.' It brings the words of Roman and Jewish historians alongside the visions of ancient prophets. It mixes "modern" mathematicians with murderous turmoil in the Roman imperial court. It combines all these with astronomical facts which no one disputes. And it concludes that the star was a real event. Come solve this age-old mystery for yourself ...

I recommend that you purchase the DVD as it makes the learning experience even clearer. A lot of information for $15.00. Full disclosure.

Is the ‘Jesus Was Convicted in a Sham Trial … and Crucified - I Still Follow Him!’ Meme Sacrilegious? - By Jerry Wilson
(I concur with this article 100% and the screaming, triggered TDS cultists be damned.)

Since the jury of no one’s peers issued the Trump farcical trial verdict, a meme has popped up on Facebook:

As with everything involving anything on social media, the meme has unleashed a torrent of responses, most centered on either wholehearted agreement or strenuous objection. Let’s examine this.
Thorough research reveals even the most fervent Trump supporters have no delusion that his pending birth’s announcement came from the archangel Gabriel to his mother. Nor does anyone I am aware of hold fast to the notion that wise men from the east visited Jamaica Hospital in Queens anytime on or after June 14, 1946. No one believes Donald Trump can save your soul. He can’t. If elected in November, turning the country around will be as good as it gets. Given the furiously jaw-flapping but functionally feckless Republicans in Congress, he’ll need to get his agenda through, good luck. But that is a debate for another time.
It is understandable why any comparison between Trump and Jesus can immediately raise hackles. That said, in this case one should exercise caution to make sure said hackles don’t excessively shed on the portable fainting couches members of the Society of the Perpetually Politely Offended insist on bringing with them to every debate. I, too, despite my ofttimes rocky relationship with Jesus, believe Him alone to be the one and only Savior worthy of the title. Messianic fervor should be reserved solely for the Messiah. People wearing “Jesus is my Savior — Trump is my President” shirts know and believe this.
Not even Trump’s most passionate supporters believe him to be choirboy material. Biblical hero, perhaps, and before anyone screams blasphemy, hear me out. Compared to assorted well-known scriptural legends, Trump would need to step up his sinning game to qualify for entry. Rahab was a prostitute. King David had an affair with the wife of one of his generals, impregnated her, called her husband back from the battlefield, and tried to sweet talk him into sleeping with her to cover his tracks. When that didn’t work, David sent him back to the front with orders that would certainly get him killed so David could immediately “comfort” the grieving widow. The list goes on.
God does not excuse sin. He forgave the eternal penalty for sin on the cross for all who believe in Him and confess their sin to Him. He does not always erase sin’s consequences. The child born out of David and Bathsheba’s adultery died in infancy. The repentant former alcoholic receives a new heart in Jesus, but seldom does a new liver come with the package. We all have our own salvation to work out with fear and trembling, as Paul wrote. I have my own sins to worry about, same as everyone else’s. I don’t have time to freak out over Donald Trump’s transgressions.
The post-verdict support Trump has received should astound no one. We, the people, see through the sham. Contrary to what the well-meaning but misguided clucking Catherines are saying, there is no equating Jesus and Trump taking place. The meme is a bold statement of both faith in Christ Jesus and a thumb in the eye of those who think a pathetic show trial can dissuade Trump supporters. We are keeping the faith, and those who lust after power will not deter us.

He Is Risen

 Mark 16:
1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

 

 Good Friday

John 19:1-42 – Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.  They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.  When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
