Quiz Answers:

Correct Answer: B (Christmas trees are the product of heathens.) “Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and gold; they fasten it with nails and hammers, that it move not” (Jeremiah 10:2-4).

2.  Is it OK to have holidays like Christmas, even though the Bible does not recognize them?

Correct Answer: D (B and C) But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years” (Galatians 4:9-10). “What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it” (Deuteronomy 12:32). “But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men” (Matthew 15:9).
 

3.  Is it OK to practice secular Christmas traditions (like visiting Santa, hanging up stockings and giving away fruit cake)?

Correct Answer: C (No.  We are to engage in no secular celebration, no matter how seemingly innocuous.)  “For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries.  Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you” (1 Peter 4:3-4).  “Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.  Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them” (Isaiah 1:13-14).
 

4.  Was Jesus really born on December 25th?

Correct Answer: D (No.  In fact, Jesus wasn’t even born during the winter—Jesus was born after the winter, when the rains had passed and shepherds tended to their flocks in the field.)  “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night….And the angel said unto them…For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:8-11).  “It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain” (Ezra 10:9).  “For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone” (Song of Solomon 2:11). 

5.  Is the giving of gifts, as the wise men did, an appropriate way to celebrate Christmas?

Correct Answer: D (B and C.)  “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers.  But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” (1 Peter 1:18-19).  “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem , Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him” (Matthew 2:1-2).

6.  Is Santa Claus a creation of the pagans, designed to replace Jesus in our minds?

Correct Answer: D (B and C.)  “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called the Word of God” (Revelation 19:13).  “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire” (Revelation 1:14).  “But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.  Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men” (Ephesians 4:7-8).  “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good” (Proverbs 15:3).  “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20).  “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” (Matthew 28:18).
