Yes Carol but ....
I agree with you Carol and expecially that with good reading and prayer a passage will be interprested for us, by us as God wants us to know it.
But the diversity of God's church is amazing and there must be things wrong. My dislike too is that its a very poor witness to the world.
And don't we put in so much.
Now I'm sick of hearing that Jesus was born in a stable.
The text says that (after the birth) he was laid in a manger but surely the birth was fairly normal and caring and attended by a midwife or more as was the custon of the day. When we get to the wise men from the east, they found the child in a house. This I assume was some months after the birth for they slipped off from Herod and when he realised that he went killing every child under 2 years old. In most Christmas stories the wise men arrive as the shepherds were going out.
