Click to reveal the answerThe answer is: False
The angel said "on earth peace, goodwill toward men". The word 'peace' from a biblical sense does not mean the absence of war or strife between people, but rather a 'peace with God', a peace that Jesus was to make with God at his sacrifice. Goodwill looks back to the Hebrew ratzah , which is often associated with acceptable sacrifice, thus 'goodwill toward men' means reconciliation through the greatest of all Days of Atonement - Jesus' sacrifice. The alternative textual reading of: 'to men of goodwill', means the same thing: 'peace to men who know themselves reconciled to God through Jesus'. (Luke 2 v 14)
