In this special program (recorded originally from Bob’s broadcast show on 12-2-18) Bob goes through the history of Christmas, starting with a defense of miracles such as the Virgin Birth for any who would claim that the Bible is unscientific and therefore unreliable. Bob then moves through the history of the Christmas holiday itself.

Topics include:

-A God who reveals Himself to those who seek Him

-A reconciliation of Jesus’ genealogies in Luke and Matthew

-Why the Messiah HAD to be born of a virgin in order to avoid a curse placed by God upon King Jehoiachin (also called Jeconiah)

-A response to skeptics who claim that the records of Christ’s birth  in Matthew and Luke contradict ancient history

-How several early church leaders suggested December 25 as the date of Christ’s birth

-How the Roman festival of Saturnalia on December 25 eventually became Christmas

-Why the conversion of a pagan holiday to a Christian holiday is not a problem

-The rowdy Christmas celebrations eventually banned in England

-The real St. Nicholas

-The development and origin of various Santa Claus legends in Europe and America: Where did ideas such as elves, flying reindeer and North Pole habitat originate? How Rudolph was invented as a store product.

-Additional Christmas trivia: trees, egg nog, Poinsettia plants, etc.

(Repeat program: First podcast- 12-10-20)

NOTE FROM BOB SIEGEL: To clarify some facts that could have been better worded:

Christ’s birth was estimated between 3-4BC

King Herod died in 4BC

Ramsey was educated in the late 19th CENTURY and made significant discoveries in the  EARLY 1900s.

The Puritans banned Christmas from 1659-1681.

Bob and Dana Siegel take opposite positions in a playful, lighthearted fashion, expressing dissent in their view of Hallmark movies. Bob illustrates (with a generic story) just how predictable they all are. On the other hand, Dana loves the predictability, craving happy warm-hearted endings, especially in this day and age.

It is common for atheists and other skeptics to challenge Christians when they claim answered prayer for something that could just as easily be attributed to natural circumstances. On today‘s podcast, Bob shares a conversation he once had with a skeptic college student. Bob had recounted a time when he witnessed an amazing intervention of God and challenged the student to “explain it away.” He was unable to do so and instead expressed with terrific enthusiasm, “If something like that happened to me, I would become a Christian!

Dana Siegel joins Bob and reads over the air a variety of questions submitted recently from radio listeners and others.

Questions include:

-Will babies be raptured into heaven along with believing Christians?

ALSO: Bob addresses a statement submitted by email which insists that church and state is not as separated as it should be and that Christians are infringing on the rights of the unreligious.

A Note From Bob Siegel: While listening to a playback of the show, I noticed myself quickly glossing over an interesting point which I failed to clarify: The relationship between Emperor Nero, Emperor Domitian, and the number 666. Domitian, (90 AD) was considered the most evil emperor since Nero ( 64 AD ) This belief amongst the Romans is represented in the Book of Revelation with the number 666 which in Hebrew numerology spells Nero. I. E. The ultimate final anti- Christ will be SOMEONE LIKE NERO. And, as John teaches, we have already had antichrists as foreshadows of the ultimate future anti Christ.
