Forgotten truth of Christmas

 

 

please read Matthew 1:18-2:12. now after reading the next two verses reread and see it means more to you.

 

 

Matthew 1:23  Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted, God with us.

 

virgin-a woman, especially a young woman, who has not had sexual intercourse .

 

intercourse- the sexual joining of two individuals:

 

     Now days a lot more churches are teaching that Mary was not a virgin, but a young lady. Plus they change the spelling of Emmanaul to Immanaul. It may not seem like a lot is change, but you say something does. Behold is a powerful word, it means to hold in view or attention, something special, where the new so call bibles do not hold this to your attention. Those books make just make it sound like it not really important. To be a virgin is very special too, that mean no opposite sex partner. She was a special young lady.

 

Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

 

house- a building for human beings to live in; specifically a building or part of a building occupied by one family or tenant;

 

young-being in early period of life or growth; not old.

 

child- a boy or girl in the period before puberty.

 

puberty- the state of physical development when it is first possible to beget or bear children; in most places the legal age of puberty is fixed at fourteen for boys, and twelve for girls.

 

     Here we see the wise men worshipping Jesus as a young child in a house! Wow that is a lot to take in, Where is the stable, a house is not a stable. How many kings show up? My King James Bible said wise men, and it does not put a number on how many. So is a young child a new born baby? So is the Bible wrong or are all the years of seeing all the displays around churches and other places wrong. Now please just do not just take my word for it. Take the time to look up these verses and meaning of words too. then let me know what you find out.

 

Have a Great Christmas

God bless you all
