» CraftedClarity - Christ's Birthday... A Ripoff?

In response to Christ's Birthday... A Ripoff? posted by Ecko_Wolf:


Unless I am mistaken, the change in date of the Christmas celebration to match a popular pagan celebration (the solstice) is pretty much a matter of historical fact. My personal belief is that Christ was born in the springtime, but I agree with others here who point to the primacy of His teaching as being of far greater importance. His use of parables was the stroke of a master teacher--parables "level the intellectual playing field" and bring complex concepts within the grasp of nearly every human being regardless of their intellectual abilities. How fitting, how loving, for one whose mission was to save all people to teach divine truth in a way that all people could understand.
