Many atheists and pagans have decided that the story of Jesus is just a retelling of the mythical Horus.

I believe that the stories of Horus and other mythological saviors (there were many with similar stories) just proves that humanity has always been expecting and waiting on the arrival of a savior.

We know from the writings of the historian Josephus that Jesus did indeed exist. Some of us know it in our hearts, by faith, but others who might consider themselves superior intellectually, will choose not to have this faith, believing it to be a myth that the masses of the religious perpetuate out of ignorance.

There is nothing to fear from these intellectualists. Christians must not remain closed-minded to scientific proof.  God himself, created the science. It will not disprove Him.

The Shroud of Turin remains a key item in the scientific “proof” of the Resurrection and of Jesus. Scientists agree that they have absolutely no idea how this image could have been absorbed by the shroud. 3D rendering shows an actual 3d impression of a body which has been crucified. They no of no way, even today, that such an imprint could be made. Ray Rogers, one of the scientists who examined the Shroud when they determined it was not old enough to be an imprint of Jesus, realized after further testing that the corner of the Shroud which they tested had been rewoven and therefore, the tests were not accurate.  The Shroud itself is no longer testable because of the way it is protected. The carbon dating would not be accurate. Since the passing of Ray Rogers in 2005,  one of his colleagues has been seeking permission to access remnants from the Shroud which were removed due to fire to get an accurate carbon dating test. So the mystery continues - for scientists.

Many recent archaeological discoveries and scientific experiments are proving that the Bible may have been scientifically correct, especially regarding the ten plagues of Egypt and the separation of the Red Sea.

Science has even determined that it is not scientifically impossible, although it is improbable, for a girl to have a virgin birth. Some will say that this possibility deters from the divinity of Jesus, but I believe it is just God’s way of staying within the boundaries of the laws of nature, which He set.

Now scientists say that the birth of Jesus would have been in June, not December. That’s ok. We can continue to celebrate His birth in December.

What child is this?

Jesus, Immanuel, God himself who left a throne to experience humanity in all its weakness and suffering, because He loved us enough to redeem His creation and show us the way home.

Have a blessed Christmas!
