I know that most of us were raised with having a Christmas tree since we were kids and it may be hard to believe that God doesn't want us to have them. I read in KJV this
Jeremiah 10:2 KJV Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3* For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4* They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
To Me it sounds that God does not want us to have Christmas trees in the above passage. I believe that it's a Pagan tradition what are your thoughts on this??? Am I looking at it the wrong way??? Let me know what you believe Thanks!!!
