A Lutheran Satire Christmas -- Updated

I suppose this is as close as it gets for a box set of Lutheran Satire Christmas.  Here is a string of Lutheran Satire videos which maintain a Christmas theme.  Two of them feature Horus, and the third one gives a nod to him.  

After Horus is shown that all efforts to discredit the veracity of the Christmas accounts in the Bible are based on lies, he is stunned to learn how many Christians have rejected the Biblical confession for the sake of diversity, inclusion, and equity.  Then you get to hear why Lutheran Christmas hymns are to be preferred to more shallow efforts (even if those shallow efforts have greater popularity).



NOTE: I concur with the plug for The Word Endures with Pastor Will Weedon.

I, regretfully, omitted this video about various Nativity sets.


Bonus material: Horus reads the internet.

Lutheran Satire -- Christmas hymns

Good hymns are to proclaim the promises of God and what God done to fulfill them.  Sadly, we often get distracted by sappy and sentimental melodies that tug at our emotions that the lyrics of the song get lost.  We are not very discriminating when it comes to the lyrics because the song is pretty.  So, while some hymns are beloved, they do not proclaim God's promises and works very well.

Lutheran Satire to the rescue to highlight this fault in our discernment.  Here, Pastor Hans Fiene illustrates the difference between Lutheran hymns and Anglican hymns (though not true all the way across the board).

One final note: The ribbing at the end regarding the accent suggests you are familiar with another of Lutheran Satire's videos: Horus Ruins Christmas.  You should watch that one too.

Enjoy!
