Did you know the Sun "seems" to stop/stay still/pauses for three days every year?
On Dec 22nd, 23rd, and the 24th, the Sun rises on the same latitude.
This means that the Sun no longer travels southward, but stops/pause and turns northward again.
This is called the Solstice.
A Latin word meaning.. Sol for Sun and Sistere for stop/stand still..
Then on the 25th, the Sun moves one degree northward and begins it's annual journey.
It's not the Sun itself moving, of course, but the Earth moving relative to the Sun.
While I was reading, I found this... kinda cool.

Not to be a geek, but if a celestial body that size stopped that suddenly, it would explode. As the graphic alludes, our star is motionless (excepting that our solar system moves in toto through the Milky Way galaxy), and the Earth passes a common plane, set at zero, twice a year because its orbit is set at 23.5 degrees to that plane. That is why these two dates are the shortest and longest for you at your given location.

yes, I know. I read all about it cause I saw a question, asking about the Sun pausing @MikeSp I knew we circled the Sun from grade school. But once upon a time they thought differently and I enjoy learning new things.

it has the appearance of ,this event is why the Papacy chose Dec 25 as Christs birthday ,,,which its not ,,its another tradition of the Church
The 25th is just another pagan holiday adopted by the church

@BoobooSnafu Religion is complicated ,serving God is not
Gods word is spiritual ,and most come at it with a carnal mind ,understood by their limited minds ,,He said He would use the simple things to confound the wise ,its simple to a child with child like faith
but the wise in "Self" can tell me every Hebrew word written
but they only assume they have found some key ,,,,thats what Kind James wanted
to know the promises of God to control God ,,since God says He is not a man that He should lie ,,King James thought if he just has all the keys
he could control God ,so people say "The Bible was written to control man"
When just like the Pope thinking he is God on earth ,the church and king james want to control God

Want to see a prime example of one so wise in his mind he is of no earthly good ,,listen to Perry Stone ,,,tell you every Hebrew words meaning in the Bible ,,,says he is lead by God ,,but
He says he knows God ,but he teach's Gods law ended at the cross

God says he is a liar ,he does not know God

1 john 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
@rckt148 Pretty arrogant, ( Not to mention, stupid) of someone to say they know God.
WTF? A being such as that is beyond our human existence, our tiny minds dont even have enough imagination to possibly encompass somethimg so vast.
And i agree with you on the serving god - although i think it more respecting the existence i was given.
It's not that complicated to be good...the hard part is giving up ones selfishness.
But other than that, it's pretty straight forward.
God knew how damn stoopid we could be - he made it idiot proof, he just didn't make it ego proof.😉

@BoobooSnafu God warns that a man will present himself as God
sit on the throne of God ,and speak blasphemy against God
(say he is the same as God and can forgive sin 2 thess 2:4
He is claiming "the church's change of Gods law is their "Mark " the traditions of the church are above scripture and to prove it
ask all the "Bible believers why they keep Sunday holy when there is not one scripture to support its change (and back in the 1800's offered $1000.00 to anyone that could find one scripture ,,,Faith of our Fathers by James Cardinal James Gibbons ,https://archive.org/details/faithofourfathers_1106_librivox

Chapters 7 and 8 are pretty eye opening ,,where he says if the Pope is fallible then Christ was nothing but a false prophet

God warns us in Revelations to accept this doctrine and laws over His is to accept the Mark of the Beast ,and to do so blots your name out of the book of life ,,,All the names were written in there before the foundation of the world
BUT we can blot our own names out by accepting this law over Gods

People study every man written book about the bible on the planet
but to study the one God himself gave us through the prophets ,well that one evades us ,even though there is a special blessing just for reading it and understanding its a prophecy we need to get right ,,Daniel and Revelations give enough signs a kid can tell you who the beast is ,,now as to its mark
You can look up "who changed the Sabbath Day " or now listen to the words of Gibbons who was the man on all things Catholic (its in audio form on that link I posted
People perish for lack of knowledge and faith ,real faith
Which comes by hearing ,and (spiritual)hearing from the word of God

I spent the last 25 yrs trying to condense this message into something people who wont study might read ,,so many notes it looks like I tried to rewrite the Bible ,and then God says enough ,shows me Moses was told to speak the word
he was not told to make them like it

Rev 1: 3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
And its all summed up with this

Eccl 12 :10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.

11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

[b]13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.[/b]

14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Did not know this!

And i really dig interesting snippets of info like this - sorta useless,but fascinating.
