I believe, like many others, that Jesus wasn't born on Christmas day...there is historical proof that he was born a few months before that...over time we chose Christmas day as His birth day...I'm still not sure exactly why we did that to be honest.

1. I, again like a lot of others, don't believe that the number of copies of manuscripts mean anything at all except that the manuscripts were sought after and that's why so many are available.

2. I believe that every single one of us have Jesus in us, especially when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. I personally try to approach each new person like we are all part of the same big family. I mean if you follow the Bible we are all related way down the line I mean every single different family tree should technically be able to be traced back to Adam and Eve's son Seth...so there is really no reason for all the hatred out there because we are all family. Now don't get me wrong, family is not always great but if you believe in God then you should always treat everyone with courtesy and respect...even when they don't do the same.

Jesus wants us to be kind to one another, to treat others as you'd like to be treated, to love our enemies. Those are hard directions to follow when He isn't in your life...okay who am I kidding, they can be tough directions to follow even when Jesus is in your life...because people can be total jerks sometimes. I thank God that I accepted Jesus into my life because I honestly don't think I would be here today if I hadn't done so.

I think, and again this is my opinion, that God is in everything we see every single day...the birth of a baby, traveling via motorized vehicles and planes, agriculture, a gorgeous sunny day, a blue sky, a rainbow...He is in every single person, place, thing, critter, beast, etc...on the planet. If He wasn't, we wouldn't be in existence. I don't understand how some people can't accept or appreciate all the tiny miracles that we encounter every single day. If everyone felt the same appreciation for the little things in life I think there would be a lot less conflict in the world.

These are all just my opinions but to this day I can honestly say that asking Jesus into my life has made my life so much better than it was without him.

Have an awesome day all! :D
