A Christmas Tree is a false god.
If you bring it into your house, you're worshipping it. You're giving it honor. If you decorate it, it is making it into a god.
It's idolatry.
You're not supposed to honor idols in tree form or otherwise. And how does Christmas honor Jehovah?
It's based on a LIE that Jesus was born this time of the year and everybody knows it is just a sham date to give honor to the Sun God, Mithras.
So why are you celebrating a pagan holiday in the first place. How is it that many Christians clearly understand this is not appropriate for them and so many others think it is just innocent fun?
So all I'm saying is that when you bring the tree in your house and decorate it, you have made it into a god and that constitutes idolatry and there is a price for that idolatry.
If you know God hates lies and hates Christmas would you still celebrate Christmas knowing it would displease him?
Do you think God gives you blessings when you bring a known false god symbolism into your home and celebrate this pagan holiday just like the pagans? Is God smiling an blessing you for this.
Or is he displeased and hurt that you're honoring this known fall goddess by bringing her symbolism in your home and decorating it just like all the other pagans?
Anyway, "neither fornicators, or idolators will inherit God's kingdom...."
Why RISK IT?
