Did Mary Know?

<p>Episode 866 | Adriel Sanchez and Bill Maier answer caller questions.</p> <p><a href= "https://corechristianity.com/resource-library/episodes/is-there-historical-proof-that-christ-was-really-born/(opens%20in%20a%20new%20tab)"> Show Notes</a></p> <p><a href= "../../../content/CoreChristianity.com">CoreChristianity.com</a></p> <p><!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --></p> <h3>Questions in this Episode</h3> <p><!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --></p> <p>1. Was Jesus actually born on Christmas Day? I have heard theories that he was born sometime in October.</p> <p>2. Do you know that Christmas song, “Mary did you know?” I know some people make fun of that song, but I thought that that question was pretty good. In Luke 1 it doesn’t quite seem to allude to the fact that Mary knew her son was going to bear the sin of his people. So, did she know or was it a surprise to her?</p> <p>3. Is it ok to tell my kids that Santa is real?</p> <p>4. Does the Bible command or forbid us to celebrate traditions like Christmas? I have heard both views from various churches. I know Catholics are big on celebrating Christmas and I have heard some protestant groups and even Jehovah’s Witnesses say that we shouldn’t.</p> <p><!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --></p> <h4>Today's Offer</h4> <p><!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><a href= "https://corechristianity.com/product/philippians-bible-study/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Philippians Bible Study</a></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Request our latest special offers <a href= "http://corechristianity.com/resource-library/special-offers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a> or call 1-833-THE-CORE (833-843-2673) to request them by phone.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Want to partner with us in our work here at Core Christianity?
