Where was Jesus Born
We must remember that the four evangelists who wrote were not followers of Jesus from His birth, so they too relied on others, in particular, Mary.
The great debate of the Bible being taken as word for word accurate sets the Catholic view of ...

Was this part of the seizure by Henry VIII, or did it remain Catholic?

There is no admission fee that I know of. There is a little café inside it too when it is open. It is a beautiful place.

There are other wooden sculptures such as a huge wooden acorn. and also metal sculptures too.

Chadkirk Chapel seems to be an interesting place to walk. Is there an admission fee, or is it simply open to the public? Old buildings and lands have a lot to teach us.

Where was Jesus Born
Good points! Certainly it cannot be proved where Jesus was born, but Bethlehem is probably the best candidate. Sure, the whole born in a manger because there was no room at the inn story may not be exactly accurate, but there seems to be more ...

Where was Jesus Born
I have challenged liberal Christian ideology, as I have ever done, but my conclusions are very traditional in that I affirm the validity of the Bethlehem tradition. What I have said about the stable is not new. In fact the only really new idea ...

My goodness … you are a brave man putting this together as it flies in the face of popular belief, even to the stable and Bethlehem. Your points though are well reasoned through and very interesting.
Thank you for posting and I shall see you ...

I mentioned the tyrannosaurus under the bed. But today I was with my three year old grand-daughter who tells us of the dinosaur under her bed. I have never mentioned the tyrannosaurus so as not to frighten her, but we each had/have the same ...
