It's supposed to be about the true meaning of Christmas from the point of view of children who go to a particular church - the Methodist Church and is sponsored by the United Methodist Church. It starts out alright with various kids claiming that Christmas is about Jesus and his birth. But then here are two quotes: "He was born to help the world." "He made the world a better place". I don't find either of those quotes to be true at all. Am I making a mountain out of a molehill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd disregard their commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true.He preached Himself.There was something so wrong with the human race, that it could only be rescued by His Shed Blood.He came here to die.Both statements in the commercial are true, but only to the extent that He put His Holy Spirit in those that trusted Him and they are better people for it.The world is a fallen , sinful entity, but I would hate to think what it would be like without His Spirit dwelling in many individuals.
