We all know about the real Christmas. Don't we? Mary and Joseph. Away in a manger. Donkey. 3 wise men and the shepherds. Of course you do. You probably even played a shepherd or a wise man when you were 5.

Now you're older and it's all Noel Edmunds, booze, bills and unwanted visits to relatives.

This film brings Christmas back to it's roots. The real Christmas. Where the manger mings, the baby cries and where a star really shone. The Christmas that is for everyone, everywhere.

    Couple of Questions:

    -You said in 07:30, That - 'God taken the initiative to come and get to know us.'

    Why does God need to take initiative to get to know is if He is the one who created us, isn't he All knowing All Wise?

    - Can God create a rock that He can not lift? This is the same issue as can God become or be a Man (Jesus) ?

    - People who where believers, before Jesus, at the time of Moses for example, they worshiped One God, and he was not a man. Why is the necessity to worship a man if previous generations of righteous people didn't?
    Why the old Testament speaks of a different Ideology of worship (to worship One God) and New Testament speaks of worshiping a man?

    - Adam, may peace and blessings of God be upon him, was created with no mother nor father, so why isn't he a son of God as opposed to Jesus who was created just with out a father?

    Thanks
  • Thanks, Kirill, for taking the time to record your reflections on this.

    07:30 in the video is not expressed as clearly as was intended - thank you for drawing our attention to this. The point is that God needs to take the initiative and make himself known in order for us to get to know him. He is indeed all-knowing; we are not. We need God's revelation; the incarnation of God in Jesus is the most personal and intimate form of divine self-disclosure there has ever been. (Read John 1:1-18)

    Christians believe in a triune God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). The full doctrine of the Trinity is expressed mainly in the New Testament but there are hints of it in the Old Testament too. Both Old Testament and New Testament believers worshipped God, but through the incarnation and Jesus's teaching about himself in relation to the Father and the Holy Spirit, the New Testament believers knew more about the nature of the God they worshipped and who has made himself known in Jesus.

    There is a difference between being created by God and being a Son of God. Adam was created by God, and in God's image, but because of the Fall (Genesis 3) neither he nor any of us are naturally children of God, because the relationship with God is broken. Through Jesus, God's only-begotten Son, who died for us, we are offered the possibility of becoming God's children (see John 1:12-13; Romans 8:29; John 3:3-5), being born again, and this is an essential prerequisite for being part of God's family and kingdom.

    I hope this helps answer your questions. Thank you again for writing.

    God the Most Merciful, send Messengers and Prophets, through which he teached about Himself, He does not need to become a Man, become creation. You still has not answered the simple question, that Christians because of their believe in God becoming a man, can not answer:

    Can God, create a stone that he can not lift?
    Can God become a creation?
    Why does God need to become a man, when in previous generations (time of Moses) he did not?

    Also, did Jesus himself said that he is God, in the bible?
    not who someone else send, but Jesus Himself!?

    You have mentioned trinity, which is even more confusing ideology, since the christian scholars them self can not explain it fully.

    God is ONE, ever lasting, He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent!
    Worship him alone, making no partner with him. This is TRUE monotheism.

    May God guide us All to the true path, and open our hearts to truth, and make us willing to except the truth when it is shown to us. Ameen!
