Jesus was NOT born in a manger

I thought I’d point that out in case you folks haven’t made your choice of songs yet. I think I’ve heard two recent Christmas songs that say that Jesus was born in a manger.It sure would have been cruel to squeeze a pregnant woman into a feed trough to make her give birth. I don’t know why song writers who don’t know farm terminology don’t just read the text before writing the song. Jesus was laid in a manger after he was born________________

    Do you have the women around you pray with covered heads?
    How would that apply toward holiness?

    You would ask what is my point by that comment,,
    Dress, attire, and behavior as holiness before God has a lot to do with the culture we are trying to reach with The Gospel.

  3. It’s not a holiness church now and has not been for a long time. I still like the red-back hymnal and the moving of the Holy Ghost.

  5. See here’s my 2cents the COG acts HOLY but hasn’t been HOLINESS in sometime. Anytime you can get a group of preachers in the same place and the spirit not fall you got more than doctrine problems. The Holy Spirit not only needs to be welcome but needs to be allowed to rule!!!

  6. The church of God is not and has not been a holiness church in quite some time. If the founding fathers of the CoG could come back they would not recognize their church.

  7. Man! I would dread going to your church if it is not holiness. Holiness encompasses obedience, worship, discipleship, joy, the Fruit of the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, sanctification, Holy Ghost Baptism. Are you telling me your churches, as a part of the COG, are not experiencing these things? Does the outfit determine holiness based on your tastes or opinions, or on God’s desire? Interesting…

    I ask a truthful and serious question,
    If that is the actual way you feel,
    Why have you waited so long?

    Can two walk together except that they agree?

They wouldn’t have been that cruel to Mary, would they, to put her in a feed trough to give birth? After so many generations away from living on a farm, the new Christmas songs are starting to get really messed up.I was reading the ‘inn’ may have been a mistranslation. England in the 16th century and before had inns to stay in, not up to Motel 6 standards, but inns of a sort. But the passage may be referring to a guestroom rather than an inn. Joseph’s relatives may have promised the guestroom to many other relative and hospitality customs would keep them from retracting the offer. I’ve also heard that they may have put them in the living room or a room they used to store grain and other food. But, be that as it may, there is no reason to think Mary got in the feed trough to give birth. Would any of you woman have done that________________

  2. The Bible doesn’t say she gave birth in a manger. It says she laid him in a manger. I have never heard anyone say or imply differently.Have you ever heard the story/theory of Migdel Eder________________More of Him…less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name

  5. There is a Christmas song I’ve heard a few times over the past few years, one that sounded like it was written to be sung with a bit of ‘soul’, not an old one, that says ‘born in a manger.’ I tried to look it up, and apparently there are other songs that say Jesus was ‘born in a manger.’Quora had a question about Jesus being born in a manger, and one of the responses said it was a common saying that Jesus was ‘born in a manger.’ I hadn’t heard that other than in the songs, though. I grew up in church and heard the Luke passage about Jesus being wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger________________

How would this be different than other baby if it was a common practice? Maybe the combination of the swaddling clothes and lying in a manger was the sign to them. The way indoor mangers are described though, you’d think some mother might have already used one as a cradle. But maybe they set something up away from the animal feed in situations that were less crowded________________

  8. The malon (מָלֹון), or kahn, typically was square in shape with casement walls, or chambers designed for quartering and protection. The compartments opened into a courtyard that served as lodging for donkeys or camels. There were no furnishings, no food, no utensils – just a place to bed down for man or beast.one possibilit________________God-HonoringChrist-CenteredBible-BasedSpirit-Led

  9. The focus on being wrapped in swaddling cloths might be something we are intended to connect to the linen cloths later on in Luke (and Mark).

  6. It appears he was laid in a manger right after being born. Most likely, she was standing as she gave birth – probably pretty close by the manger. Who knows – maybe she dropped him straight in.It doesn’t say.I don’t see any great factual mistake with it, however________________

  7. Two or three Christmas songs I’ve heard say He was born in a manger. That would have been rough on Mary________________
