The short answer about knowing for sure when Jesus' actual birthday is, "No, we do not know".... but it was very likely in the spring or fall of the year.... NOT December 25. The year of Herod's death has been questioned recently also, which would obviously affect the year of Jesus' birth...

I do not believe we are completely alone in the universe... the Bible tells us that there are at least angels, seraphim, cherubim, and living creatures. But they normally reside in the "heavenly realm" but can cross over and visit us when God feels it necessary. I do not believe God created any...

So, what "specific creationist doctrines which were unknown before the Reformation" are you talking about?

Keep learning... I still need to investigate the counter-charge that Herod could not have died as late as the article I referenced claimed. I'm not trying to be lazy, but life has a way of taking up a lot of our time. The point is, I still need to investigate new ideas and verify old ones...

I completely agree that God is outside of time... He is completely transcendent to our space-time continuum of "reality". Yet, I have no real reason to relate that the 6 "earth days" of creation in Genesis were actually 1000 years long even though I am also a Pre-Mil Dispensationalists.

I agree that men are without excuse because they see God's power, glory, and irreducible complexity that comes from design (not random natural events or processes in God's creation)... but that does not mean I agree with the 'Standard' interpretation of the data involved to necessarily mean the...

By saying, "you can trust the direct message of God about His creation left us in the stars, the rocks, and the genomes" it implies that the Biblical message God left us with is lacking in trustworthiness. God left us a direct message in His Word, the Bible, which was corroborated by the "Word...

Just a note about Melchizedek, some speculate that Shem may have actually been Melchizedek. According to some Jewish non-biblical writings, Shem helped raise and educate Abraham... but, again, that is mostly speculation not based on anything solid from the Bible itself.

Would I quit being a Christian? No. I first became a Christian from a background of materialistic atheism (there are different types of atheists) and fully believing in "deep time" and the evolution of everything from molecules to man. When I became a Christian, as to the age of the earth, etc...

Christ referred to Adam and Eve as historical persons whom God created "in the beginning". Adam and Eve were the ONLY creatures God directly formed and breathed life into as a very special act of creation. "Since God in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is...

The "Toledoth theory" of Genesis may have been brought up already (I have not had time to read through the thread yet)... if so, I apologize. But, basicly, the different "toldoth" or "generations" sections in Genesis would have been written by authors from those generations and Moses would have...

I have no real reason to believe the naturalistic based star formation "just so" story either. Have Population III stars finally been discovered? - CMI Mobile

Suppose we lead very comfortable lives without pain and suffering... some people seem to do that (but I doubt anyone really does). Suppose that person, who might be somewhat like Nitzche and others who do not believe in sin or even the concept of God, had no reason or felt any need for Jesus...

When I see vomit coming in my direction, I don't try to stop it, I just try to move out of the way. The 'flat earth', 'hollow earth' and deniers of much oh the NASA/ESA data collection fall into that 'vomit' pathway. Let 'em spew. I'll move out of the way.

Jesus could have been talking about a LOT of things, but the most reasonable (without a lot of nothing but sheer speculation) is that He was talking about the large group of Gentile converts.... which was almost unthinkable to the mind of most Jews.

You need to do more homework. The Gnostic gospels, which are really the only other contenders for the 'extra' gospels came later than the gospel writings made by eyewitness accounts of Matthew and John; Mark was the scribe of Peter; and the Gentile Luke, who was an educated doctor and friend of...

Well, if you simply look at the context you will see that Jesus is talking to the religious leaders of the Jews. The "other sheep" Jesus specifically has in mind are the many Gentiles who will soon be converted and believe the words of Jesus rather than doubt and accuse Jesus like the Pharisees...

For some that are interested and have time to listen to about hour long audio about the book of Enoch and its importance to the Jews and especially the early Christians:
