Dec 25 was not officially declared as the birth date of Jesus until 440 AD by the RCC. The pagan feast Saturnalia came from Roman paganism as did many of the non-Biblical stuff incorporated into the RCC. When Constantine became both head of state and pontifix maximus of the church in the 4th century he began mixing paganism with Christianity.
C'mon now, everyone knows that Jesus Harrold Christ was born Dec. 25th in the year zero [SARCASM].
This was done to make Christianity more palatable to the pagans. This was just one of the reasons for my contention that Vatican City is the harlot city, i.e. Mystery Babylon of Revelation 17 and 18. Way back when I did a thread on this (5 or 6 years ago.) The book, THE TWO BABYLONS has a lot to say about the mixing of paganism with Roman Catholicism
lulz, yeah its called syncretism its how you convert people, its why we have the largest religion on the planent.
Israel is quite cold in December which would make it unlikely that all the people would be required to travel to be taxed.
So you are a fan of Luke? Do you not think that it is odd that Mattew contradicts the whole Census idea?
it seems strange to me that you would just take Luke's account, though maybe that is because, it agrees woth your revision of this time in history.
