The War on Christmas Isn’t New: The Battle That Defined Christianity

Описание: The war on Christmas isn’t about trees or slogans—it’s about whether the baby in the manger is truly God.

In this episode of Everyday Reformation, Nick Carter and Pastor Brandon Scroggins take listeners back to the year 325 AD, when the church stood at a crossroads. The question was simple—but explosive: Is Jesus truly God, or merely the greatest of created beings?

At the Council of Nicaea, scarred pastors who had survived persecution gathered to defend the truth of Christ’s deity. What emerged was the Nicene Creed—a confession forged in crisis, declaring that Jesus Christ is “true God from true God, begotten, not made.”

Seventeen hundred years later, the same error has returned.

Modern Christianity increasingly presents a soft, tame Jesus—safe, sentimental, and stripped of lordship.

Drawing on church history, Scripture, and the Ligonier State of Theology survey, this episode shows why Nicaea still matters—for the church, for Christian households, and for how we celebrate Christmas today.

This is not academic trivia.
This is a battle for Christology, worship, and everyday faithfulness.
