Christmas and the primordial tradition subtitle english
Some argue of the correspondence between the date of the birth of Christ and that of Christ, for example, from Mithras, to affirm that Jesus is Him too only a myth. However, this correspondence of the Christian revelation with myths of paganism announces that Christ is coming accomplish the universal expectation of an Savior, promised at dawn of humanity (Gn 3.15), and which all the civilizations have kept more or less obscurely the memory. On the one hand, there is no evidence that Jesus was not born on that day, and on the other hand, when, otherwise at winter solstice had to born The one who is the Light of world, came to defeat Prince of darkness (John 8:12,35,46) ? And it's no wonder that events of the Redemption coincide with of cosmic events, if the Redeemer is also the Creator? Merry Christmas!

I can see it. When Christ came down to earth, the general human populations were all expecting a "Messiah" to come and save or free them: The Jews had five at the time of Christ, well six counting John the Baptist: There was Christ, the Rain Maker, the Star of Bethlehem, Christ's Brother... I want to say James, and another one... maybe it was John the Baptist but I believe this other one was leading the zealots Iscariots (rebels), which Judas was a follower of them-- Star of David I think?! The Romans had Caius Julius Caesar, who called himself a Son of God, of the goddess Venus actually. He and Pompey formed the first Triumvir, the rule of three-- sort of a mini government's government, but they went to Civil War between them, Caesar and Pompey. The Second Triumvir replaced them with Marcus Antonius and Caius Julius Caesar Octavian, who renamed himself Julius Caesar Fili Invinci Augustus (Julius Caesar the Son of god All-Conquering "the living divine." I studied the Romans with my Classics BAL, so I read their writings and dedications and tombstones translating them into English.
