3 Questions Some People Love to Ask About Christmas. We are joined by Bodie Hodge (Answers in Genesis). Topics discussed include: Did Christmas Come from a Pagan ‘Holiday'? Was Jesus Born in March? What about “St. Nick/Santa Claus” & “Christmas Trees”?

When you picture the birth of Christ, does it resemble a nativity scene? Are there animals there? Is it happening in a barn? We'll take some time this episode to reimagine what the surroundings of the birth of Christ more likely looked like. Then, we'll chat about the likelihood that midwives were present at Christ's birth, learn more about Mary, and ultimately deepen our understanding of our loving Savior.  And yes, I was tempted to title this episode "Mary Christmas."

December 15, 2020Christmas #1 Was Jesus Born for You?Episode 34The Shepherds and the Wise MenLuke 2:8 (NIV) 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. Matthew 2:1 (NIV) 1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 1. Social status: Shepherds – low influence. Wise men – the opposite was true for them. They were trusted by everyone. 2. Financial status: Shepherds – they were poor. Wise men – on the other hand were very wealthy. 3. Educational status: Shepherds – they did not have a formal education, in other words, they didn’t go to school. It is my understanding that most of them probably could not even read. Wise men – they were very educated in the special areas, not just in general education. They were the teachers of their day.4. Proximity: The shepherds were nearby in the fields when Jesus was born. They didn’t have far to go.The Wise men though were far away when Jesus was born, but they too went to see him. Now, the point of showing you these contrasts is this: the story of Christmas clearly reveals to us that Jesus was born for all men and women. John 3:16 (NLT) 16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

We're finishing our conversation with Dr. Jeff Chadwick, a New Testament scholar at BYU.  We'll talk about what he calls, the myth of the lambing season.  How cold is it in Israel in December? https://youtu.be/-XqQZLkL6Q8 Jeff:  The average day in Jerusalem in December and January is partly cloudy with green grass and jacket temperatures, nothing like the winters of Utah and Idaho. That brings up another thing and this is what I call the myth of the lambing season.GT: Oh really?Jeff:  Yeah, because, you know, the idea that Jesus was born in the Spring, was not unique to Latter-day Saints in the 1800's. Others were suggesting this as well. Protestant writers in America familiar with freezing North American winters, because they were usually from New England or somewhere like that, couldn't imagine how shepherds could be in the fields abiding by their flocks in December, "Aww, just much too cold. No shepherd could be out with his flocks in December," they ruled. So, it must be in the springtime because spring is when the lambs are born and since Jesus was the lamb of God, that's when he would have been born, too, is in the spring. This, of course, plays in really well with the tradition among the Latter-day Saints that Jesus was born in April. The problem is it's an entire falsity. The reason why is that shepherds did and still do go out with their flocks all Winter long.I have stood in the fields outside of Bethlehem on several Christmas Eves because I get to be there from time to time and the shepherds are out there with their sheep and little lambs have been born already in December. They don't wait. Now here in our climate, just because of the way that the lambs and the sheep bear, they'll wait until it's a little warmer and they'll lamb in March and April. But that's not the way that it works in the holy land because the climate doesn't require it. Biology works partially because of its climate. We'll also talk about what projects he is working on.  Check out our conversation… Would shepherds really be in their fields in December? Isn't it too cold for that?

How long did Jesus live?  Can the Book of Mormon give us insight into when Jesus was born?  BYU professor Dr. Jeff Chadwick says the Book of Mormon gives us the key to figuring out both Jesus' death, but also his birth year. https://youtu.be/iZ1laTkvZrc Jeff: We only know that because of the Book of Mormon because Jesus has lived 33 full years in the space of the 3rd Nephi story. So, we know he's lived 33 full years. I actually think he lives 33 years and a couple of months. He's born in December of 5 BC and dies in early April of AD 30, which would make him like 33 and three months, but he lived 33 full years. That much is clear from the text of 3rd Nephi. He doesn't live 34 full years. He is only 33, because his appearance in 3rd Nephi to the Nephites is dated to the ending of the 34th year. So, he's been dead some time before the end of the 34th year gets there, meaning he only lived 33 years and whatever little time after that. We also go deeper into the Jewish calendar.  Check out our conversation….. The Book of Mormon gives insight to the timing of both Jesus' death and birth.

There are lots of stories of Jesus as a child, but they are not in the Bible.  BYU professor Dr. Thom Wayment and I will discuss several of these strange stories about the Juvenile Jesus.   https://youtu.be/o5SIUBVAc4E   Thom:  He loses a game. So, he smites his friend who beats him in the game and then they go get their local leaders and they come out and say, "We've got to punish this kid," and as they get ready to punish them, Jesus raises the kid from the dead. GT:  I've heard that story too. Thom:  And then they say, "Where is the evidence of this?" It's really weird to a modern person how terrible Jesus could be as a child. GT:  Well, and there's another story about a bunch of birds. He made a bunch of mud birds or something. Thom:  And gave life to them. GT:  And then they flew away. Thom:  Yes, yes. GT:  He's really a brat. Jesus is a brat in this story. Thom:  I would agree. I would use that term. And what's so fascinating is it's like he has this divine power, but he's a teenager using it, which is really kind of fun, but you wonder what it says about your view of Jesus. Were any of these considered canonical?  Was Joseph much older than Mary?  Check out our conversation…. Apocryphal stories fill in the gaps of Jesus' childhood. Was Jesus a jerk as a child?

I'm excited to talk more about some of the Christmas legends that we're all familiar with.  Did Herod really kill hundreds of babies? BYU Professor Dr. Thomas Wayment answers these questions. https://youtu.be/mqdXpb05m8w Thom:  I've heard it taught in a history class. I've heard it taught in Sunday School. I've heard it talked about popularly. And there's always a surprise by the Sunday School crowd that as you said it, "Why doesn't this crop up in Tacitus or Suetonius or some of our other historians?" And the scholarly community perhaps would note, "I would be surprised if it did." We're talking about a very small village, 200-300 people. And I don't want to minimize this. I want to be really careful that anybody listening understands. I'm not trying to say it's not a big deal that one or two babies passed away, but one or two babies passing away in a pogrom[1] or this kind of search to get Jesus wouldn't typically appear in a historical source. So, it's not unbelievable, but it's not quite the divide that some crowds make it. GT: You think it's as small as one or two babies? Because I always thought it was like hundreds of babies that were killed under the age of two. Thom: No, no. They said this is a very small area. We're talking Bethlehem and we're talking a rural village and we just don't have the population density. Where did the Wise Men come from? GT:  In the video that I saw, and I'm just going to call them Iranian. Zoroastrians or whatever, I can't even say that word. But, the video that I saw said, "Hey, these are people that came from our enemy, Persia. And that Persia and Rome were enemies essentially. So, Herod was greatly troubled. So, what do you think of that? Thom:  That's a really fascinating insight. To back up just little bit and give everybody here a couple of thoughts to work on. The reason that we think they are Zoroastrian is that that word "magoi" does appear in the Hebrew Bible, the Old Testament. And it refers to people from that area and the fact that we are calling them Magoi, "Magicians" is the modern word, but we favor Wise men, is not a positive term. So, the modern reader sees these as a positive moment in the story. But if they were appearing in Jeremiah, who uses the word, I believe it's Jeremiah, he uses it very negatively. These are people that are kind of outside of Israel, they're condemned, etc. And so, that's one dynamic in the story. BYU New Testament scholar Thomas Wayment discusses these Christmas favorites.  What do we know about the Christmas star? What can historians tell us about these stories?  Did they really happen or are they mere legends?  Check out our conversation.... Dr. Thomas Wayment of BYU thinks Herod likely killed just a few babies while searching for the Christ child. He also says "Magi" weren't respected in ancient Israel.
