NOTR - THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS SHOW - 12.26.2022
Monday, December 26, 2022 at 5:46PM Today's Show: THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS SHOW - 12.26.2022
Chris discusses the controversy over the annual Christmas holiday, confronting some of the arguments which claim that it has "pagan" origins. Is this really the case? Of course, no one truly believes the stories about Santa and the elves in the North Pole, or many other traditions that have crept in over the centuries. But we examine whether or not the annual observance of the birth of Jesus Christ into the world (as recorded in the New Testament) was originally practiced by the ancient churches as an event to honor the Son of God. Or was it somehow taken from a pagan festival? And if so, is there an historic record that proves the point? What do early church historians tell us? We hear some of the arguments from the opposition, and examine the claims from both a Biblical and historic perspective.
