Where in the Bible(AV) does it say he was born on the 25th of December?

Thirteen days after Western Christmas, on January 7th, the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates its Christmas, in accordance with the old Julian calendar. It's a day of both solemn ritual and joyous celebration.

So if your family is from the East, more than likely, you'll be celebrating Christmas in almost two weeks.

If you're in the West, you celebrate it today.

To anyone who claims to have a pope,
Read Revelation 17.
Your "church" is mentioned in the bible, not in Acts, but in Revelation. She has a name: "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
John wrote in Rev 17:6, "And I saw the woman druken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: And when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

If the Roman Catholic Church is this Whore of Babylon and the Pope is the Antichrist but also the most pro-marriage, pro-family and pro-life leader on the planet, something in your logic is twisted.

(1.) Very few singles, Christian or othewise, are equipped by God to remain single (abstinent) for a long period or for a lifetime.

(2.) People confined to the unnaturalness and abnormality of singleness are some of the most forgotten and tragic figures in this post-marriage, pro-fornication culture.

(2.) Mother Teresa (and almost every other formal Christian saint) was single and didn't live a forgotten and tragic life. And neither must you, even if you're called to a life of singleness.

Even "Sola Fide" is not from us but is infused in us by Jesus.

And as important as Faith is, the greatest infusion from Christ is Love.

For without Christ I am nothing. I am His problem. But with Christ in us we have it all. For He is our everything.

May His love increase in me and I decrease.

When the Church keeps this unholy day they remain silent to its evil and in turn do more damage by keeping silent; you cannot be an effective witness when you keep the very things you’re supposed to be witnessing against.

Pelikan correctly understands that the Catholic Church holds the Protestant church in Her arms.

If it's Monday-Friday I get up and go to work so I can glorify God and get paid so I can support my family to do likewise.
Check.

If it's Sunday I get up and go to Church to glorify God and to support my family to do likewise.
Check.

Buuuuut, if it's Sunday *and* Christmas simultaneously I stay home to ________________?

The only non-negotiable plank in his platform is: Abortifacients of every stripe for every girl and woman -- free for the asking. Akin to the "bread & circuses" at the fall of the Roman Empire.

But what drives a President to be so savage?

You are essentially equalizing the power of Christ (no one can snatch them out of my hand or my father's hand) with the power of Satan and sin, which is what homosexuality is.

Not losing your salvation is biblical truth, not just reformed theology.

Point out a "soundly-saved" Christian and in 5-10 years, I'll show you a porn-addicted divorced apostate.

Reformed: Once saved always saved.
Homosexual: Once gay always gay.

For the reformed camp, one can never lose his salvation.
For the gay, one can never lose his homosexuality.

However if the RCC had the Autographa, how could you identify it?

Loads of sinning Catholics who've disobeyed the Church's 2,000 year constant teaching against birth control. They've taken up the gateway drug to liberalism: The Pill. And voila, they're devout liberals with merely a Catholic heritage. They've cut themselves off from God's mercy through their lack of faith, self-love and disobedience.
