Up and down the island of Malta at Christmas are these nativity scenes this one was in Valetta, the figures are lifesize, and as you can see theatrically lit, I believe they run tours around the various nativity scenes.
It is so good to see nativity scenes like this one. Here in Canada there are few if any during the Christmas season. They are considered "offensive' to those without faith. Glad it isn't that way everywhere.
It's getting close to that point here in the US. But people are going to keep on putting up things like that, as long as they can.
I've been listening to something on youtube about the situation in Canada, on how the Canadian government is trying to put the clamps on Christian beliefs because it is offensive to minority groups that don't want to hear the gospel preached, because it is offensive, to their activities and beliefs. Well Jesus said it would be like that. Look at it this way, Jesus was crucified, Stephen was stoned to death, and Paul was beheaded, and all because of the message of salvation through Christ. There were RIOTS because of the message the apostle Paul was preaching. They call the Christian message hatred preaching, and yet the so called anti hatred laws being foisted on the public, and in particular the Christian believing church, is the authorities hatred of Christ and His church.
Its the new age, pagan, and Massonic teachings that God is in a sense two beings, Adonai and Lucifer, that He God, is this dual nature, light and darkness, good and evil, and then the roles are reversed, that Lucifer becomes the good part of God, and Adonai the evil. The Bible teaches that God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all. Yes these so called anti hate laws are creeping into Britain, but it is mainly directed at the Christian faith, to surpress the Christian gospel.
