But suppose the whole notion of a God who visits the earth in the person of his Son is as mythical as the prince in the fairy story? Suppose there is no realm out there from which the Man from heaven arrives? Suppose the Christmas myth (the invasion of this side by the other side)–as opposed to the Christmas history (the birth of the man Jesus of Nazareth)–has to go? Are we prepared for that? Or are we to cling here to this last vestige of the mythological or metaphysical worldview as the only garb in which to clothe story with power to touch the imagination?

What Paul taught in Rome was hijacked by certain people who crept in un awares, being devoid of the Spirit, not understanding Father, Son and Holy Spirit but being from paganism they they used carnal reasoning to develope the trinity.

God has no birthday if HE is eternal with no beginning. The Christmas idea is birthed in the pagan trinity and was kept by pagans before they became the Catholic Church . The Pentecost church did not observe the birth of Jesus. Christmas is a pagan invention by people who did not understand the truth of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
