6. Yes they do. Both male and female reindeers have antlers.
7. Macy’s in the 1947 version of the film. (If you answered "Coles" you're thinking of the 1994 version of the film.)
8. Alabama. In 1836 Alabama was the first state to make Christmas an official holiday.
9. Seven. Most people only find 4, because they overlook the F’s in the word “of.”
10. You should have noticed that the word “THE” is repeated twice in both.
11. To compete with a pagan celebration. Christians chose to celebrate the birth of Jesus on December 25th to offer an alternative to the pagan celebrations held near the Winter solstice (the shortest day of the year).
12. Did you say you’d be “nice” or “naughty”? Here are a few of the Ten Commandments so you can test yourself. Have you ever told a lie? If so, what does that make you? (A liar.) Have you ever stolen anything (even something small... a ball point pen, a piece of gum)? If so, what does that make you? (A thief.) Jesus said that if you’ve ever looked at another person with lust, that you’ve already committed adultery in your heart. (Matthew 5:28) Have you ever done that? If you answered yes to those three questions, then by your own admission, you’re a lying, thieving, adulterer at heart... It’s not looking too good is it? (Remember there are seven other Commandments we haven’t even mentioned.)
Many people don’t know that God will use the standard of the Ten Commandments to judge the world. Forget about Santa, “naughty” and “nice”... how will you do on Judgment Day? Will you be innocent, or guilty of breaking God’s Holy Laws? Listen to your conscience. You know that you will be guilty. Now for the big question, do you think you will go to Heaven or Hell?
If you answered Heaven, is it because you think that God is so good that He will overlook your guilt? Well think of it this way... if a judge in a criminal case has a guilty murderer standing before him, and the murderer says, “Judge I think you’re a good man, and therefore you’ll let me go.” The judge will probably look at the criminal and say, “You’re right about one thing, I am a good man. That’s why I’m going to make sure justice is done!” It is the same with God – He will make sure that the guilty are punished.
But perhaps you think it’s been a long time since you’ve done anything “really bad”... or maybe you think you’ve done enough good deeds to make up for your guilt? Ask yourself this question... If a man rapes and murders a woman in January, and then spends the rest of the year doing good deeds... isn't he still a rapist and a murderer? Of course he is. In the same way, your guilt cannot be erased either by the passage of time, nor by all the “good deeds” you could ever do.
Perhaps you don’t believe in Hell... or maybe you don’t believe in God at all. Consider this carefully... people on drugs sometimes believe they can fly – but if they jump out a window they end up dead. It doesn’t matter how strongly or sincerely they believed they could fly – when they go out the window they suffer the consequences of breaking the law of gravity. If you don’t believe in Hell, or don’t believe in God, you need to realize that your belief cannot change reality. Imagine if you are wrong. The Bible says you will be in Hell for all eternity. That should alarm you. The Bible describes Hell as a place of eternal torment where God pours out His just wrath on those who have broken His Laws. The Bible says that includes liars, thieves, and adulterers. (Revelation 21:8, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
I don’t want you to go to Hell. I hope you are sensible enough to not want to go either. There is only one answer. The Bible says God showed His great love for us in this: while we were guilty – with no hope of rescue – Jesus died for us (Romans 5:8). When He died on the Cross, He was actually stepping in and suffering the punishment you deserved for breaking God’s Holy Laws. Even though Jesus was sinless, He suffered the punishment that liars, thieves, adulterers, blasphemers, idolaters, and murderers deserved. He stepped into the courtroom and paid the fine for us. Then He rose from the dead and defeated death. The only thing you can do to be saved from God’s wrath, is to repent (turn 180 degrees) from your sin and put your faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord. The minute you do that you pass from death to life (John 5:24) .
You can pray something like this now, “God, please forgive my sins (name them). I turn from them and place my faith in Jesus Christ as Lord (Master) and Savior. Please change my heart and grant me your free gift of everlasting life with you. Amen.” Now you should read the Bible daily – without fail – and obey what you read. God will never let you down. This “Christmas Quiz” was sent to you, by someone who cares about where you spend eternity. That person is praying for you.
