Now think about it, if the pastor does not know the Bible on such a basic subject then how much more ignorant are the people under his teachings.

I heard a very well known mega church pastor preach that there were five(5) witnesses to the birth of Jesus in the manger. The witnesses would be the three wise men and Mary & Joseph. This information is false. The three wise men came sometime after the birth of Jesus. Jesus may have been 2 years old already. The three wise men first saw Jesus living in a house and NOT when he was born in a manger.

Matthew 2:1-2:
"Now when Jesus was (past tense) born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,


Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him."

Jesus was a young child when the wise men came and not an infant. Notice they visited a HOUSE and not a manger.

Matthew 2:11 "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him..."

All this time you have been accepting something as being fact when it was totally false and not even close to being true. Now think about it, if the pastor does not know the Bible on such a basic subject then how much more ignorant are the people under his teachings.

Matt 16:6And Jesus said to them, "Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

Matt 16:12Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
