-
- Christianity
Every year when Christmas rolls around, we start seeing the Christmas story featured on cards and magazines at the checkout counter. A question then often comes up this time of year: Is the Christmas story actually historical or is it just a myth?
In this episode, Scott and Shawn discuss this big question and some of the information presented in the gospels to address some common objections:
What should we make of the differences in the four gospel accounts – aren’t there contradictions?What about the differences in genealogies between Matthew and Luke?Weren’t the gospel accounts written too late to be considered historical?How can we even evaluate the supernatural aspect of the accounts?For related resources, visit https://preparedtoanswer.org/topics/faith-and-reason/is-the-christmas-story-a-myth
⭐ Get access to “So Much More Than Sex” — a video-based Bible Study Series for young adults that is focused on rediscovering God’s eternal purpose for human sexuality.
