Well knock me over with a feather, today I saw something on T.V. that almost knocked me over,
The First Baptist Church of Knoxville was on the air, and low and behold, I was ; what?
Why, what I am about to say was so shocking is because I know many ,many Baptist people,
And have been reared Baptist myself,
Today they were on and in robes, and preaching the Advent, WHAT???
I have never in my life heard a Baptist say the word Advent, which only means the coming of something important, But for the religious world that would be Christmas,
And I have never seen them in robes,
So what is this new thing,
But moreover they had a guest speaker, who they were more then proud to name all is scholastic achievements, and he appeared very proud as well; yet he was interesting in his subject matter, which caused me to look it up, and that is a good thing,
Of course it was on the birth of Jesus, and the two accounts given, one in Matthew and one in Luke,
That at the time I had an entire different thought on the two accounts, but I will get to that later, for now the topic of his massage,
Being the manger, stable account in Luke;
First the word manger, is; A trough or an open box in which feed for livestock is placed,
His point was that when we do the plays, about the nativity is there were no stables, that they used caves, never the less, the word stable is not in scripture, but manger is, so where ever the manger was, he was in a manger because there were no room in the inn, which he also said was incorrect,
Because they did not have inn's in those days,
Well let us reason on this, because it does say inn, so therefore there had to be an inn keeper,that he said did not happen, well the reasoning is this, even today people and words and there meaning do not always connect, and they do not look them up to have the correct meaning, even though today we have many slang words, and some are made up words, but the fact remains if there were no such way to know because something did not exist there would be know way to just make the word up;So my point is this here is another scholar to tell us they did not know what they were talking about;
Because the scholars know more then they, yet they were there.
