Some ministers say yes, and that you can fix your unrighteousness by giving them more money. But today Micah Gunn and Mitchell Moss discuss what the Bible says about righteousness and blessings, and expound on our video on the Prosperity Gospel.

For hundreds of years, many Christians have denounced Christmas for its pagan influences, but now, many respected Christian thinkers are arguing that the reverse is true—that pagans actually stole Christmas from Christians—or they're dismissing paganism as a problem altogether. But paganism was never the whole problem. 

Today, Magnified host Micah Gunn sits down with co-host Mitchell Moss to respond to some of the most common defenses of Christmas and get into the real problem with this man-made religious festival.
