Epiphany

[maggiebee]

Today the Church celebrates the feast of Epiphany, when the Three Kings or Wise Men were led to Bethlehem to bring their gifts to the baby Jesus. What we celebrate today is the manifestation of our Lord to the whole world; having originally been made known to the Jewish shepherds, he is now visited by the gentile Magi from the East, beginning the process by which all the people of the earth are led to Jesus. I pray that this process of Epiphany may continue wherever people still do not know him, in our own country and in all parts of the world.

Bless you Maggie.
Expect flak.
See you had some already.
Never mind.
Keep it going.

[Theland]

Sparklykid. - What is your delusion?
Universe from nothing? Life from nothing? Unproven evolution?
Yeah man you know it all doncha now?

//the Three Kings or Wise Men were led to Bethlehem//

Another bit of the jigsaw that makes no sense. Led by a star, but what kind of star sits directly over one small area of the planet?

[Theland]

A miraculous one maybe?

[naomi24]

A reasonable question - an unreasonable answer.

[Theland]

Yes an entirely reasonable question.
And an entirely reasonable answer.
Is God limited somehow?

[naomi24]

Theland, claims for which for which there is no supporting evidence whatsoever aren’t reasonable.

[Jackdaw33]

The Epiphany, or the Manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles, symbolises that Jesus was born not just for the Jews but for all mankind.

[Theland]

Well is God limited?

[naomi24]

Your question assumes God exists, Theland. I see no evidence to support that assumption.

[Theland]

I see evidence all around me.

[naomi24]

Evidence ... ?

[Theland]

Evidence hidden in plain site
You are blind to it, as you begin with a hostility towards God.

[naomi24]

I’m not hostile, Theland. Just realistic. You can’t expect to make these claims without being challenged. Why should people believe you without supporting evidence?
