Evidence for God from Science

The word itself has distinct meaning which very few know!

So, wishing people "Merry Christmas" has become vague and inaccurate, just a cliche, a customary greeting at this time of year, no salt or light to anyone as all have heard the story before (or so they think).

OK, I guess you have looked it up and found it means "anointed feast".

. . . now you are informed, do you know how to partake of it?

I thought it meant, Christ's Mass...??

OK, what does that mean, and how do we partake?

The Roman Church was unable to get rid of saturnalia, so early in the 4th Century, they adopted the holiday and tried to make it a Christian celebration of the Lord's birth. They called it the Feast of the Nativity. This custom has been part of western culture ever since. I wouldn't make much out of it. No Christians are worshipping the sun as a god at Christmas and outside of few deluded neo-pagans no one else is either.
