This Christmas movie is an insult to Christians everywhere

Some ignorant, self-centered and unbelieving Hollywood writer has dared to name a movie “The Man who Invented Christmas.”

Charles Dickens was a wonderful writer, and who doesn’t love the book A Christmas Carol? But Dickens’ goal was the redemption of Scrooge by exposing him to the true meaning of Christmas: love. But this has just gone too far.

This holiday is about a wondrously beautiful and amazing gift from a very loving God, who sent his only son Jesus Christ into this world to save us. Christmas is our celebration of his birth. This was an act of grace through unfathomable love for a world that did not deserve it. Unfortunately too many still have not accepted his gift.
