Dress rehearsal for one West Palm Beach, Fla., church’s Christmas pageant was suddenly interrupted Thursday night when a camel and its rider were thrown onto audience members, the Associated Press reports.
Lula Bell, the camel, did not dip down into her seated position as planned, but rather stumbled and fell onto a number of spectators and her rider. In a Christmas miracle, no one was injured, including the camel.
Unfortunately for Lula Bell, the First Baptist Church‘s pastor decided she won’t be appearing in any more shows.

Posted on December 10, 2010 at 9:58pmIt doesn’t mention Camels or Three or Wise men in the Scriptures. In Matthew, it says that Magi came and that they gave three gifts. There was a tradition of Magi in present-day Iraq. It has always been assumed that they had camels because it is such a long trip and that’s what people used for long trips. And the Magi did not come the day Jesus was born. It says the Magi visited the child Jesus in a house, and suggests something less than two years after his birth. It’s fun to really read the Bible and see what it really says. Read about the second chapter in Matthew for the Magi’s visit. Read about the second chapter in Luke for the Shepherd’s visit.

Posted on December 11, 2010 at 9:04amJ.C. McGlynn, I copied and pasted this from a recent posted I commented on…
What is the “You Know It’s a Myth: This Season Celebrate Reason” billboard’s meaning? I see a picture of the 3 wise men and the nativity scene. That picture is a myth. Jesus was a young child, when the wise men found the Him.
Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
They came to the house, not a barn. Jesus was born when Joseph and Mary were traveling.
Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
It was the shepherds in the field that witnessed this miracle, the wise saw the star from afar. It took them months even up to two years to find the King. The Word did not even say how many wise men came.
_______
The Bible does not say how many wise men can, or how many people can with them. These wise men could of travel for two years and probably had a lot of people (servants) and animals with them for food and transportation. The bible only mentions the 3 gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. The traditions of men translated into 3 wise men.
Matthew 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
So Herod was looking for a child that could be us to two years old.
