“What wise men? They were magoi not magi. The Magoi were high officials of the Parthian Empire. A large delegation probably visited Jerusalem, and they rode on horses, not camels, since the Parthians were horse breeders par excellent.”

Must drive you nuts when the “We Three Kings” song comes on the radio. Your point is well taken though. Somewhere along the time line of Christianity the true story of these three men and their journey to find Jesus, was twisted badly.

You were saying ...

Well, if folks would just stick to the Bible they would be fine... LOL...

It's when you get all these so-called "traditions" added to the Bible that you get into trouble.

Just stick with what the Bible says and you'll be fine... (and forget the songs on the radio and all that other garbage... :-) ...)

Now..., I don't mean to not have fun singing carols and stuff like that, but don't make Christmas carols the source of of truth regarding the Son of God... LOL...

The “Three Wise Men” story is just one of many false notions surrounding Christmas. Even the date of the Messiah’s birth is likely all wrong—He was probably born at the end of September, though He was conceived about Dec. 25 around 3 or 4 BC (so I celerate Christmas as the day of His incarnation).
