EE is correct in stating that the celebration of Yeshua’s birth was moved to coincide with the Pagan winter solstice celebration. This was done in order to combine the Pagan religion and early Messianic belief in order to consolidate the main religions practiced under Roman rule. This merging of Pagan and Messianic belief under Constatine became known as Catholicism. Those wanting a good in depth study of this info can Download “The Jonah Code and the Seventy Weeks Prophecy,” or if they are of the Christian persuasion, they can visit the website of the Philidelphia Church of God website http://www.pcog.org/Default.asp?siteMapId=LiteratureLibrary and download the title, “Pagan Holidays–or God’s Holy Days–Which?.” The first source is from a Messianic Jew, and the second source is from a Sabbath keeping Christian Church. I am writing this not to promote ir rally against any religion but to present information and historical fact.

otherwise, great sentiment from the guy in washington.

power to the people!
