NATIVITY OF JESUS CHRIST

I am doing some research on the nativity of Jesus of Nazareth. I am looking into the many sectarian traditions and scholarly opinions on this subject.

I would like to get hermeneutic opinions and off the cuff opinions on some groundwork questions.

1. What actual year do you think Jesus was born?

2. How old was Mary when she was married?

3. How did Mary conceive?

4. What is the significance of his birthplace?

5. What is the significance of the Magi who sought him after his birth?

6. Why was it necessary or significant for an angel to tell Mary she was going to conceive?

Where possible, links or citations would be useful for particular opinions or traditional explanations.

“Fortunately the southern Americans are wrong. You have independently discovered the core Orthodox objection to Christianity as understood by southern Americans:”

“‘Do you perceive the devil’s slander of our all loving, all kind, and absolutely good God? That is why in Greek the devil was given the name DIABOLOS, “the slanderer”.’ –Kalomiros”

“You aren’t interested in worshiping a sadistic talmudic jewish ‘rug-pull god’ and neither am I.”

The clownish appearance of the McPastors I saw as a kid, and their continued excuses for the divorce industry and family courts I saw as an adult, confirmed to me that Ameriburger McChurches were full of shit.

Rome's 3rd Century Crisis revealed that the Romans, especially the Roman elites, did not actually believe in the old pagan gods.

Instead, the Roman elites were 2 groups. One believed only in the sword, and routinely betrayed each other. The 2nd group of Roman elites believed in Christ, and had far better superior cooperation and group altruism.

Guess which group your typical fedi McChristian most resembles?

Finally, a church where (Protestants at least) can have their plural marriages blessed? https://spzh.eu/en/news/87408-german-evangelicals-approve-marriages-with-multiple-partners https://archive.ph/Nv8OW

“The Evangelical Church of Kurhessen-Waldeck ([in central] Germany) officially allowed its pastors to bless… relationships involving more than two adult partners who know each other and are in a voluntary relation.”

While this is inspired by the errant “polyamory” movement, and will honor unnatural unions along with the naturally good, still it is nice to add a way plural families can have their marriages publicly recognized and treated like those in single marriages. Friends in the Fatherland who are EKD members should be sure to take and share lots of pretty pictures of the groom with brides 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 during their church ceremony on their special day!

German Evangelicals approve "marriages" with multiple partners

The Church believes that the decision will open new…

"There's always this penchant for victimhood: 'Oh, I'm under attack, so anything shitty I do is justified.' I mean, I think fundamentalist Jews and Christians and Muslims have more in common with each other than they do with the moderate and liberal members of their own religions. They're the ones causing all the problems."

Fugelsang is, by the way, son of a former Catholic nun and a former Catholic friar.

"I'm not against religion at all. I'm against the fundamentalist kind because fundamentalists — whenever our atheist friends say, 'Oh, religion is responsible for all the oppression of women and homophobia and violence,' I always say, 'No, it is the hardcore right-wing fundamentalist wings of all religions.'"

"This is the whole struggle of religion: yes, it's responsible for all the bad stuff, but the most important part is there has been a true legacy of Christian activism in this country and it's always been in opposing right-wing Christianity."

"Slavery existed in this country because Christianity said it was of God. We are the only nation on the earth where our history is completely intertwined with white supremacy and Christianity. No other religious nation has what we have where white supremacy and religion are completely twisted together."

In an interesting conversation with Cliff Schechter and David Shuster, John Fugelsang discusses his forthcoming book Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds. The book will be published next month by Simon & Schuster.

Some key takeaway statements by Fugelsang in this discussion:

@ChrisMayLA6 This is what I don’t get about support for the #farright - it’s an ideology that is inherently thuggish and hateful but somehow manages to latch onto #Christianity! And yet support for #hate and #violence is growing. What an odd species humanity is.
