Christmas Questions

In ten days, we will be celebrating the most significant holiday in history, the incarnation that gives hope to all. Most of us think we know the events leading up to and including the event and what took place after. If you got your information mostly from TV, Christmas songs and Christmas programs you may be surprised. So, today’s communique will be on a light side to test your knowledge with a few questions. These could be used with your children and or following Christmas dinner. You will need a bible in hand to check the answers from Luke 1-2. You could read Luke 1-2:21 before answering the questions.

Many Ways

Recently it was reported that a very high-profile denominational leader stated that all religions are paths to the same God. This was said to Christians living in Singapore. It’s like different religions are simply a different language talking about the same God. Really!? Can we lump all the world’s religions into one basket and say they all lead to the God who created and redeemed us? Hardly! They all have their own god and sacred writings and none of them completely agree on everything, therefore, religious doctrine will be contradicted.

Reputation

Paul writes to the Christian church located in the heart of the pagan Roman Empire, a church he did not establish or visit prior to sending his letter.
