All I can say is if it works for you then I am all for it. The main thing is you can wake up in the morning happy and ready to take a new day of life, able to help others when you can.
I have known you for awhile and know you have a good heart and mind. Humans regardless where they live will always have something to argue or disagree about, but what is important is that we understand we are all in the same boat trying to make the best of life. I wish you a great Christmas and a Happy New Year incase we don't chat here before then.

The important question was would Christianity still exist if Jesus was excluded from the bible.

yule has been around since before the ice age.(same time as christmas) neolithic holidays were covered on the same days by christians to make confusion. also, they built their churches over neolithic sites and claimed that the magic there, was their devine magic. not the previous sites....hmmmmm.... nothing like a hostile take-over lol.

but I’m not a Catholic, so...

There is nothing that I am aware of. I mean no definitive proof of the physical embodiment of Jesus unless you can find something online.

There is something to indicate that they may have located the tomb of his paternal father, a Roman centurion who raped Mary.

Rome - Vatican officials have slammed a documentary alleging that the Virgin Mary was a downtrodden teenager who might have conceived Jesus as a result of being raped.

Cardinal Martins José Saraiva, Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, described Sunday's BBC documentary as "nonsense", the Rome daily La Repubblica reported on Monday.

"These are old stories that resurface from time to time and which have never found any historical support," said Saraiva.

"Giving prominence to such legends only falsifies the truth," the cardinal said. "As a Christian I am especially mortified by the fact that such rubbish was aired on the eve of Christmas."

The documentary questioned the belief that Mary was a blue-eyed virgin and raised other doubts about the birth of Jesus in a stable in Bethlehem.

It reported claims put forward by a second-century historian, who alleged she was raped by a Roman centurion.
Another version alleged that she was a hard-working, dark-haired, uneducated teenager who might have conceived Jesus ahead of an arranged marriage with Joseph.

The documentary raises doubts about other traditions, including the birth of Jesus in a stable at Bethlehem and the presence of three wise men.

The programme has also been criticised by Catholic prelates in Britain.

The Bishop of Portsmouth, the Right Reverend Crispian Hollis, accused the programme of offensive speculation which misrepresented a figure respected by millions.

He said: "The Virgin Mary is clearly a person whose life and times are immensely important to the whole of Christian history. As Mother of God, she is honoured and venerated by millions of Catholics and other Christians within these islands and all over the world.

"To include, within a historical examination of her life, confused and unfounded guesswork, which carries with it crude and offensive speculation, is not only unscholarly but runs the risk of undermining the very integrity of the project itself."

But the producer, Alan Bookbinder, defended the decision to question the virgin birth.

He said the documentary, called The Virgin Mary, gave a "sense of wonder at her miraculous story. Above all, it shows a respect for the special place that Mary has in the hearts of believers."

A Sunday Telegraph survey found that the traditional account of the virgin birth was also openly questioned by members of the Church of England clergy.

Non-hispanic girl, she doesn't know what the word means.

anywhere that if you don't believe in the words of Christ your Savior or God that you are deemed to be a heathen, zealout, or infidel?

If so then why do I hear from Christians that they will never call you any of these things if you don't believe, yet if a Christian who represents the Bible and believe in what it says then you are actually agreeing that all who are not followers are heathens/infidels.

Is this correct? If not then please explain.

Otherwise this means to me that a Christian who follows the Bible only believes some of what is written and not all.

Sometimes we have to return to where we've come from to find out where we are going ... you are no mouse sweetwalker

Love and light travels with you always ...
