WHEN WAS THE MESSIAH BORN?

       It is only natural for a person to adhere to conducts and beliefs that are biblically defensible.   Be ready always to give an answer to every man  that  asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear."   (1 Peter 3:15).                                      Christmas celebrations are generally observed to honor the supposed date of the birth of the Messiah.  But the facts are that Christ was not born on December 25.       " Christmas . . . was, according to many authorities, not celebrated in the first centuries of the Christian church, as the Christian usage in general was to celebrate the death of remarkable persons, rather than the birth ("Christmas",  Encyclopedia Americana).       How then, did the Romish Church fix on December 25th as Christmas-da...
