Bible Question (short): Two Christmases? |
Question (full): Tonight I heard a song on the radio. The lyrics: "Let's all give thanks to the Lord above, 'cause Santa Claus is coming tonight." ...... Tonight I read in Isaiah 9:6: "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." ..... There are obviously two Christmases: the Christmas the world celebrates and the Christmas Christians celebrate. Are they compatible? Why or why not? --Hank |
