Sermon: Valentine’s Day, Christianity, and Islam
The Continuing Church of God is pleased to announce this sermon from its ContinuingCOG channel:
What are the origins of Valentine’s Day? Are the origins Christian? Should Christians celebrate Valentine’s Day? Why February 14? What are the connections to Lupercalia and Juno, the Queen of Heaven? What has ‘Christianity Today’ written? What have Catholics written? What have Muslims written? Could Valentine’s Day be tied back to Nimrod? Where do Valentine’s Day traditions originate? Did early Christians keep it? What does the Bible teach? Does the observance of Valentine’s Day contribute to the way of truth being blasphemed? Dr. Thiel addresses these questions and more.
