Merry Mithra?

[Michael The Disciple]

I don't have a problem with people researching celebrations and finding out how people centuries ago celebrated. What I do have a problem with is the silly conclusion that if THEY celebrated a day in that way, that I must also be doing the same if I even acknowledge it. I think that's crazy.

Sorry Sister but when it concerns the name of Jesus Christ some of us WILL zero in on the facts. The pure worship of YHWH is an all consuming fire!

Lots of tradition here.

Luke 2:7 and 12 say that baby Jesus was placed in a manger/feeding trough and was lying in a manger/feeding trough because there was no room at the inn.
