in a world that condones people to lie to one another to get them to tell the truth wher do we put that on the value scale. we start our life beleiving a lie our parents tell us. there is a santa clause. now seems harmless but it is a bold faced lie and we then pass it on to our childeren. then we justify our lies by our worldly perspectives on things and we forgett that we are called to be honest with eachother and ourselves and what we do to eachother we do to God to. The truth is out there but if only one person knows it and there is someone else who needs to know it is that even fair or right. should a man have to die to find out some things that mattered here on earth but don't there in heaven.

Return all the presents you got from Santa Claus and any you got for your children if the TRULY bothers you. Worry about what your own children are taught and not others. I see no harm in teaching children moral and to love others, as long as they are not threatened with damnation if they don't and understand that God always forgives them.

The truth is in the bible.
It is the only book survived as long as it has and it says
I am the way the truth and the life.
Santa is a dirrivitive from Saint Nick and
is a traditional thing amongst children.
I never felt bad about that with my kids because why tell them the truth and then they ruin it for someone else on the playground... it's kind of a catch 22 situation.
I hardly think that it's going to amount to much in the afterlife that I told my kids to be good as Santa is coming... bought all the gifts and put them under the tree and took no credit for breaking my behind to get it under there.
But I could be wrong.

There is the truth out there. God said that if you draw near to him , then he would draw near to you. Study the King James Version or New King James version Or the New International Bible Version,,,,,study and study BUT most importantly, be in constant prayer, especially when you don't understand a certain part of the bible. Another words, don't just study, but be in prayer at all times.

We are all connected to each other at the base level. What most people do not realize is that we are what we make ourselves.
If you look for all the injustice in this world you will find it. Unless you are preparing to fight it, you should try to find the good things.
There is a long article about this, you can find it in the link below.

That is why Jesus tells us to go out and be "fisher's of men" to share his gospel and spread the good news! "Faith comes from hearing and hearing the word of God" Romans 10:17
Those that hear it and do not care, well they will be held accountable on judgment day- but we who love the Lord and know of His great salvation should always be ready to give a defense to God's word and share His wonderful truth!
Romans 10:15
And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
The truth is JESUS CHRIST! (John 14:6)

Santa Clause is the first big lie and God is the second big lie. Why believe in one and not the other?

Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life."
If all I had was that, it would be enough for me.
