I'm going to have to get a new Pharisee notebook to keep up. Do you have any extra sharpened #2 pencils?

Got the pencils, you're on your own for the notebook. Can't afford it with these Biden prices.

You are too kind. I was fortunate to find some slightly used notebooks at a hyper-grace convention. I was told they don't need notebooks. Evidently if they don't remember something they don't have to refer back to notes...God never intended them to remember it anyway.

Rofl you have got to stick around, we need some levity here. Change that, we need a lot! Well I must confess I put up a 7footer every year in my living room, but this year I only did a 6 footer, so I sinned only half as much this year. Ok maybe my math isn't the best, but I did sin less. :p

I was told there would be no math yet it continues to rear its ugly head. Now you've compounded the problem by introducing fractions. I wonder if we are allowed to use calculators?

Did you just introduce a third category of sin: venial, mortal, and now fractional?

What can I say, I have a talent. I wonder if baking for Christmas is a sin? If so I'm in real trouble. Fudge, blondies,peanut butter balls, confetti squares, pies and cakes oh my. I'm gonna have a lot of repenting to do in the new year. :(

Don't worry. Someone here will come up with a holiday for that too.

Oh boy, a wrench in the whole thing. Now I'm totally confused.
Don't worry about his scale. We don't qualify to use it. Our sins are big. Aaron56's sins are small so he requires more accuracy.
And don't let anyone know you heard it from me but I have it on good authority he even calibrates his ruler.

SUBARU- The logo is Pleiades ASTROLOGY

MAZDA- Mazda car is named after the chief Persian deity, Ahura Mazda. Even the early symbol of the Mazda line of cars (1936-1962) resembled the dual-winged image of Ahura Mazda and can still be seen in the modern winged “M” logo of the Mazda

NISSAN - The astrological connection is the logo, the circle is the Sun going over the horizon with NISSAN or NISAN over it. The sun passover occurs in NISAN.

FORD- Quite a few are astrological, Orion, Meteor, Laser, Galaxy, Falcon=Partner of Horus, Taurus etc ASTROLOGY

  1. All the days of the week are named after pagan deities.

  • Sunday = Sun’s Day
  • Monday = Moon’s Day
  • Tuesday = Tyr’s Day
  • Wednesday = Woden’s Day
  • Thursday = Thor’s Day
  • Friday = Frey’s Day
  • Saturday = Saturn’s Day

Most of the months of the year are also named after various pagan deities.

  • January = Janus’s month
  • February = month of Februa (pagan purification)
  • March = Mars’ month
  • April = Aphrodite’s month
  • May = Maia’s month
  • June = Juno’s month
  • July = Julius Caesar’s month
  • August = Augustus Caesar’s month

We should also stop wearing Nike clothes and shoes, eating Mars bars, using Venus razors, buying Hermes handbags, or investing in Janus funds. And since all the planets are named after pagan Roman deities, we shouldn’t talk about our study our solar system. We also shouldn’t visit the Statue of Liberty. And no matter what, we should definitely stay away from the Washington monument and churches with steeples since they are symbols that come from pagan rituals that celebrated the male phallic.

I believe you make a good point, but the thing is I don't see Jesus name attach to those pagan things, nor Biblical. If that's you reason for celebrating Christmas then that is no good. The Book says in James 4: 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. Also the word is says in Jeremiah 10: 1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

Look at all this work you have to do for a pagan day that's not written in the word of God for you to do.

Ok no idol making.
So who is over laying wooden carvings with silver and gold. And worshipping it? Thats not a christmas thing at all.
Since when is giving gifts, brutish and how is giving food to the poor evil?

I think we are done.

Jesus says in Matthew 13: 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand;
And seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive
: 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed; Lest at any time they should see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And should understand with their heart, And should be converted, and I should heal them

Abuse of scripture dont help.
We are done. We have no further conversation. Thank you.

Because that is when we started counting.

Third Point: Therefore, Christ Our Lord was conceived on March 25, 2 B.C. and born Dec. 25, 2 B.C.
Zero is close enough for me. I have heard 3BC and 5BC suggested also.

I'm pretty sure the 3 and 5 BC dates are wrong. How could Christ be born before Christ? Duh

Seriously though, does BC stand for Before Christ?
