The Gospel is God's Law
IN CHRISTMAS, whom we celebrate ..., superman, aliens, Santa Claus, Harry Potter, or Jesus Christ?
The Christians, somehow always reminded God 's love and the wonder that He did when became man and was born in Bethlehem from the Virgin Mary.
Christmas Party to remember that fact of the Gospel would have one day a year since the Christians in the Middle Ages began to build nativity scenes to remember the Christmas Day . It is believed that San Francisco and his friends were who made the first Nativity Scenes. They wanted to remember every year the birth of Our Savior .
But in the last century (XX century), dreamers men, with very little respect to the Gospel, invented another "savior": an "alien god" who come from other planets, called Superman.
Since then, the fantasy of aliens has soared in such a way that neither in the days Christmas, cease to sell books and make movies Superman and the aliens. In these tales, hardly we see signs of Christianity in their fantastic scenes ...
IN CHRISTMAS, whom we hope..., "Santa Claus", or the Child Jesus? ...
Also, in the first decades of the twentieth century, another personage of fantastical tales would come: "a magical god" called "Santa Claus", flying through the sky with reindeer and sleighs and carrying toys to children Christmas Day .
This "god" come from the fantasy world inhabited by gnomes, fairies and dwarfs the forest, seems the only savior of the world at the time of Christmas. In the scenes of his books and movies, hardly we see signs of Jesus Christ or Christianity. It is as if someone had invented this fantastic personage to make children forget the Gospel of Jesus Christ and put their attention on the tales of the men.
It is true that in the early centuries of Christianity was a missionary who devoted himself to take food and toys to poor children in the villages through which he passed. His name was Nicholas of Bari. He had inherited a large fortune from his parents, and he distributed all among the poor .
Some want to see Santa Claus reflected in this Christian personage, but the fact is that St. Nicholas was a Christian, and history does not speak of magic, or gnomes, or dwarves or fairies of the forest, or any fantasy; only talks about his love for Jesus Christ .
The "Santa Claus", however, is triggered fantasy, and in the tales written about him, appears almost no history of Jesus Christ or Christians, and if present, is very discreetly. It is as if they wanted to show that the teaching of love and peace is not come from the Gospel, but from the mysterious world and magic of gnomes, fairies and Forest Dwarfs.
IN CHRISTMAS, whom we wait..., Harry Potter or the Baby Jesus?...
And why talk of Harry Potter, if almost everyone knows the tale?... This tale of magic and fantasy seem to also find a place in the days of Christmas to promote the magic and fantasy and that children forget the true meaning of Christmas.
All these tales, although they seem harmless fantasies, as some claim, however all these tales are united by one purpose: to ignore completely every sign of Jesus Christ and Christianity.
This fantasy world fights against the idea that God became man, and was called Jesus Christ, and also against the idea that there was a Christian culture that existed in at some time in our history.
If this continue in this way, according to the purpose of many men, disappear Christianity , the Gospel, and all signs of Christian culture... and the world would be fodder for tales, of course, tales that never remember there are poors in Earth and that God commanded distribute all the property among them.
This is one of the things that preaches the Gospel: that goods are distributed among the poor... Will be not this the reason why many men full of greed want to destroy it's memory?...
I think this topic in these days is very important to exchange views among Christians and examine it.
