is santa claus a christian?

Answer 1

Of course he is a Christian, deceitful Jew. Go eat a baby.

Answer 2

While santa claus has become a mythological being, his origin goes back to St. Nicholas, who was one of th Nicene fathers who helped to standard the New Testament and much of early Christianity. He was apparently a very brilliant and very pious man, who became a Christian at an early age (before Christianity was legal) and was a church leader by his late teens. At the council of Nicene we was the strongest defender for the humanity of Jesus.

Contrary to what the DiVinci Code claims, if you go back and read the minutes and reports of the Nicene council they never debated the issue of whether Jesus was divine. What they debated was whether he was also human because a large group at the time (the gnostics) were teaching that Jesus was only a spirit and had had no body and was not human.

Nicholas is the author of the Nicene creed, one of the early statements of Christian faith, still often quoted in churches today.

He is the patron saint of the Orthodox church. He has more Orthodox churches named for him then any other person, and is second in "most churches" with the Catholics.

So yes, the "real" santa claus was a Christian

Oh, the world's put Santa Claus in the place of the Lord Jesus, sure, but not to the Christian. Now, as we approach Christmas time now, and here the things are decorated all up with Santa Claus instead of Jesus... May you, with arms of faith, likewise, this Christmas, embrace not a Santa Claus, or not exchange a present; but may you invite and embrace in your heart with arms of faith the same Lord Jesus that Simeon held in his arms years ago. If you believe some mythical story, some Santa Claus affair that they tell children, or something like that, you'll never get nothing, until truly in your heart that you believe He's the Son of God, died, rose again, ascended on high, and is living with us right here, and will do anything that He promise He would do in His Bible. So as we focus our thinking towards Christmas, it's too bad that we have to lot it to a myth called Santa Claus, in the stead of the real Christmas that it's supposed to be. Many little children in the land today know nothing more than Christmas means "a sleigh full of toys, and some mystic reindeers pouncing on the house," to only learn later of this myth; to even hurt their faith, when it comes to know the true Christmas story, that it had nothing to do with reindeers, or a man smoking a pipe, with fur around his coat. All the tinsel up-and-down the street of Santa Claus, a German fiction, a Catholic dogma...Christmas don't mean Santa Claus. I don't believe in Santa Claus at all. And Santa Claus is a fiction story. Santa Claus is a Catholic getup about a fellow, a Kriss Kringle or Saint Nicholas, an old German Catholic saint of many years ago who went around doing good to children. A pagan ceremony: when did Santa Claus have anything to do with Jesus? They want Santa Claus. The world's took over; Santa Claus has took over. What's any more of a myth than Santa Claus? Get away from the tinsel of Santa Claus. I know that we people here do not teach our children of such a myth as Santa Claus. But always be sure of this: tell them there is no such a thing as Santa Claus, 'cause it's not right. Santa Claus, commercial, everything, the whole thing is wound up into a big conglomeration. The lights and tinsel is all on Santa Claus, not on Christ. Where Satan has robbed us of this, has made the great commercial, and Santa Claus stole all of the worship. And every one of us play Santa Claus, and decorate trees, a heathenism, and things like that, and then call ourselves Christians? Wherever you heard about Santa Claus in the Bible? But the wise and intellectual, well-trained of the world, still desire to say there is a Santa Claus. But what kind of worship can you get in a church that knows so little of God it puts up a Santa Claus at Christmas and bunnies at Easter?
