If you went to church on Christmas day, it is very possible the small children were invited to come forward and sit in front of the nativity scene. (Every time I see those little figurines – sheep, a cow, a donkey, the manger, Mary, Joseph etc., I’m reminded of Jethro pursuing Moses in search of his “stolen” idol).
After which the pastor/priest says something to this effect:
“Children, Christmas is all about you.”
Yes, if Santa is you saviour .
What do you think about this? http://www.scripturaldoctrines.com/articles/birthdays/
Thanks for the link, John. I agree with the article. What did we do to get Born! Nothing. What does a person do to get born Again? Nothing. In the first birth there is no desire to be born (except maybe “it’s time; let me outta here”), in the second birth there is a desire; but that desire is granted from above.
I don’t think babies desire to come out of their mother’s wombs. It all happens without them choosing anything. Choice is a work. Salvation is not by works. Arminians are not believers. http://www.scripturaldoctrines.com/articles/arminians-are-not-believers/
I was joking about the babies. When it is time to be born, the body knows when.
