God makes no mistakes. No such thing as coincidence. We are all fearfully and wonderfully made. I was raised in a Christian home, fell into agnosticism in my twenties and early thirties. Now I'm born again, and a total believer in miracles! Jesus controls Creation (ie the birds, water, the Universe, Love, and even people). Also, I happen to be a gay dude and I'm in loooove with this dude…..long story! Praise the Author and Captain of my salvation!
Jesus lived on the earth, what do you mean their "is no Jesus" The angel cloud appeared in the sky in Royal Palm Beach Florida the day Pope Francis was determined to be Pope, love the way God shows the world his presence if not believed to be in every breath we take!
So sad… for all who don't believe, one day you will come to know the truth weather you want to or not. I think the star of Bethlehem is an amazing find! and more proof that supports what the Bible say’s Jesus is God and was foretold in the stars. I love it!
@TacticusPrime I admit the absence of miracles or any sense of God having any interaction in my life is my biggest source of doubt. If he's really everywhere and loves me and wants to help me like the church says, why can't I see or feel it?
But I dispute your point that nothing is too unlikely to be coincidence. Statisticians can measure how likely the correspondence between two variables is to be caused by pure coincidence. All of modern scientific research is based on finding that likelihood
@LordManticore You dislike when someone tries to “influence their own beliefs on others”? Are not we all attempting to win others over to our point of view, yourself included? Are we not all then being “senseless, proof-less & selfish” or is that just everyone who disagrees with you?
I'm just staying that most "intelligent" and "knowledgeable " individuals who believe God does not exist struggle with the fact that He might simply because they do not like the idea that they have to answer to someone else ( God ) other then to themselves. Despite all their gained knowledge , achievements and self worth. They are not in control of thier own lives and destiny. And this is called PRIDE. And this, my friends, is what I believe to be the real issue on the acceptance of God.
@tylerfh2012 I believe in my own values, whats right & wrong, nothing is bad or good; its how we influence those things. & I need no rules or promises of heaven to abide my values in life, mostly because I don't believe in life after death. For the obvious reason that we are as any other living creature, we deteriorate and die, as any microbe – our fear of being just like other living creatures is what makes us want to believe we are of a higher calling. That's not intelligence, that's fear.
If people want to know about the light that led the magi to Bethlehem, they need to go to the source, i.e., the Word of God:
Exodus 13:21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
Exodus 32:34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee:
The wise men had seen a mysterious light in the heavens that night when the glory of God flooded the hills of Bethlehem. A luminous star appeared, and lingered in the sky, a phenomenon that excited keen interest. That star was a company of shining angels, but of this the wise men were ignorant. Yet they were impressed that the star was of special import to them. {HLv 34.4}
@tylerfh2012 Constellations are the meaningless abstractions only fit for idiots like astrologers. Anyway, you can't prove the existence of an intervening supernatural entity by pointing to the movements of stars. Either such an entity is demonstrably acting in the here and now, or it's not.

Maybe the star of Bethlehem wasn't a star at all.

There is no God, there is no Jesus, there is no star of bethlahem. Stop worrying and get on with your lives.
Conclusive and awesome
This is only the trailer. The documentary is a little over an hour. It's WELL worth the watch. (Just keep an open mind).

Actually, the date he gives is April 3, 33 AD.

It would be logical that this star appears in a cycle… and hence will reappear.

@pgfracing The Magi KINGS were in the East and they saw the "star" From there! PRAISE THE LORD and His Almighty Works!

@AtarahDerek It was just wishful thinking, my friend. Who knows what it was, really.
@tylerfh2012 . WOW creeped out……too bad.
@toeblood Belief is not a choice. Try believing in Santa Clause. I doubt you could convince yourself and *truely* believe that Santa exists.
