Star Or Angel Of Bethlehem
I know that for centuries, we've come to believe that the star of Bethlehem in the Biblical narrative of Christ's birth was some sort of supernatural cosmic event. We've also accepted it as such because we trusted Bible translators in deciding to use the word "star". But, was it a LITERAL star? As explained in the Greek Interlinear concordance, the word "star" can be rendered literal or FIGURATIVE! I believe the Bible can clearly demonstrate that it in this case it was figuratively. A STAR IS A SUN We all know that a star is a Sun that is millions if not billions of light years away. Even though God could in His infinite power move a Sun so far away as it would appear in our sky and shine where Jesus was born, it would still not agree with the complete narrative of the Nativity story. ARGUMENTS AGAINST BEING A LITERAL STAR Astronomers, understanding the laws of physics, have a hard time believing the narrative and I would not blame them.
