I don't know about the first part, but the reason christmas is celebrated on dec, 25 is mainly because the priests were trying to get the pagans to accept christian religion. So instead of fighting them, they just adapted certain pagan feast days, as well as traditions. The Pagan Yuletide ran from the 21st to the 24th so it was just easier than getting anyone to accept new dates.

I realy want to figure this out for once end for all.

Question 1
What did Jesus say about eating pork.

Christians say: Jesus say it was permitted to eat pork conusme allmost everything only in moderation.

But what bugs me is Jesus him self was raised as a Jew(they don't eat pork)

So Jesus would probably nevr have eaten pork himself(he lived in israel right..)

See the weiredness in the link Jews(no pork) Christians(pork) Muslims(no pork)

I think there is something missing.


So my question is Couldn't it have been that The consumption of pork was made acceptable after converting the europeans for whom pork was their man meat source.

It would have been easier to say okay follow our religion and yes you can eat pork


Question nuber 2

Why is it that christmas fals on 25 dec the same day as the pagan gremanic tribes celibrated midwinterfeast with a pine three.

you get the point




so whats the deal?Confused
