December 25 in the Gregorian calendar is January 6th in the pagan Julian Calendar. Therefore, Saturnalia would be celebrated in December 13 of the Gregorian calendar.
If the Pope therefore is hell-bent on following and incorporating the pagan practice into Christianity, it would be logical for him to reset Christmas to December 13 instead, in sync with the ancient pagan festival.
Yes, Christmas is a remembrance of Jesus' birth. Wala ni ingon ang Katoliko nga si Jesus mo-back to zero every December 25th.
Im just amazed that you and your friends failed to give a DEFINITE and EXACT answer from the Bible, yet you have the guts to criticize the practice of the earliest Christians.
If "probable month" ra man diay ang inyong gipangita, all months are possible -- only with varying degrees of accuracy. If we celebrate it in December, there is a 1/12 probability that Christ was born on that moth. Therefore, this will not make it wrong to celebrate Christmas in any month, including December.
Ang akoa is i-clarify because ang TS mismo ug ang ubang ni-post diri maoy gikontrahan ang praktice sa Katoliko. Now, its funny because they cannot even give EXACT and DEFINITE answers,despite claiming bible based ra jud diay kuno sila.
The best they can give is extra-biblical, fallible SPECULATION from "scholars".
Does a fallible SPECULATION do better than the tradition followed by the earliest Christians?
