Namention man pud na sa Da Vinci Code but one pastor wrote his own review that Christ did not "borrow" or "steal" another god's birthday but rather "competed" with pagan god's which is akin to a marketing campaign. That's same as Globe introducing UNLITXT kai ang Smart naa pud Unli.

I'm not sure if the guy was just "desperately" trying to defend Christianity or he may have done his own research. What I found so amusing was that he said that to Christians, the Da Vinci Code is just another "ho-hum" daw to them and yet he bothered to write an entire review refuting the book's facts that is just long as an entire chapter of the Da Vinci Code. LOL

hahaha that's just one out of many who tried to refute da vinci code. not that it needs refuting or what not...
IMO, must have hit a funny bone or sumthing...sure looks like the "mukhang guilty" effect.

Let me correct myself. It's not Christ but rather his followers who competed his birthday with other pagan gods.

kung winter gipanganak si Cristo, nganong ang mga karnero tua man sa gawas para pakan on?

Luk 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Luk 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.


pag research kuno kung mag unsa sa Jerusalem kung winter season...ayaw kog ingna mukaon ug halo halo ang mga karnero...

bro...your bible verse imo giquote is correct wla ko'y angal ana ky naa man sa Bible...ako buot ipasabot ato kay kadtong day nga natawo si Christ ky tingtugnaw wla sad ko ng-ingon nga winter season bsta bugnaw ang panahon....bro..pwede ask where ka ngchurch kron....ok God Bless....

i think it is best to see christmas in what good it brings rather than how it originated. it's all in the past. what is important is the present.

regardless of christmas being pagan practice or not, people won't care less. christmas for the longest time has ceased to be what history, or a few analysts label it, it has become a celebration, a venue, and an opportunity to reconnect with family and loved ones in a society, so rapidly changing, that it puts social pressure and unrest in our filial and spiritual bonds.
