Answer 1

Could be, and I don't want to argue with you on that comparison.
But historically and of course, that means as a matter of fact here is the origin of Christmas Tree as given by historian Alexander Hislop in his book The Two Babylons:

"The Christmas tree, now so common among us, was equally common in PAGAN ROME AN PAGAN EGYPT. In Egypt that tree was the palm tree; in Rome it was the fir; the palm tree denoting the Pagan Messiah as Baal-Tamar, the fir referring to him as Baal-Berith. The mother of Adonis, the Sun-God and great mediatorial divinity, was mystically said to have been changed into a TREE, and when in that state to have brought forth her divine son. If the mother was a tree, the son must have been recognized as the 'Man the branch.' And this entirely accounts for putting the Yule Log into the fire on Christmas-eve, and the appearance of the Christmas tree the next morning" (p.97).


"The Christmas tree, as has been stated, was generally at Rome a different tree, even the fir; but the very same idea as was implied in the palm-tree was implied in the Christmas fir; for that covertly symbolized the new-born God as BAAL-BERITH, 'Lord of the Covenant,' and thus shadowed forth the perpetuity and everlasting nature of his power, now that after having fallen before his enemies, he has risen triumphant over them all. Therefore, the 25th of December, the day that was observed at Rome as the day when the victorious god appeared on earth, was held as the Natalis invicti solis, 'The birth-day of the Unconquerable Sun.' Now the Yule Log is the dead stock of Nimrod, deified as the sun-god, but cut down by his enemies; the Christ- mas tree is Nimrod redivivus -- the slain god come to life again" (ibid., p.98).

Jeremiah the prophet wrote about 600 B.C., saying, "Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 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. For the CUSTOMS of the people [heathen, pagans] are VAIN: for one cutteth a TREE out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the AXE. They deck it [the TREE] with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not" (Jer.10:1-5).

Doesn't this sound just like the pagan Christmas tree? Notice! This is what pagans do EVERY YEAR, in connection with the winter solstice -- the "signs of the heavens." A small evergreen tree is cut down out of a forest, has a base nailed to it so it will stand upright, is taken to the person's home, and then decorated with ornaments of every kind. In ancient Egypt, it was the palm tree, as we read in verse 5: "They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not; they must needs be borne, because they cannot go" (Jer.10:5).

Of course the bottom line is, there is a being who suggested or inspired the heathens in the past to do just that in rebellion against God and ridiculling his Plan of of Redemption by sending Jesus, His son to die for our sins as our Redeemer and be resurrected again on the third day as was prophesied in the Bible.

Answer 2

The Christmas tree is of pagan origin, not Jewish.

Many of the decorations traditional to it now come from Judeo-Christian roots, however.

"Tree Decorating - There is some debate on the origin of this tradition. Druids (and some other ancient cultures) saw evergreen trees as symbols of everlasting life, because they seemed to live through the winter undaunted by the cold. So using evergreen branches as decorations symbolized the undying strength of the Sun. Decorating the trees may have come from the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia (see below for more on Saturnlia). "

Answer 3

The Christmas tree is derived from several solstice traditions. The Romans decked their halls with garlands of laurel and placed candles in live trees to decorate for the celebration of Saturnalia. In Scandinavia, they hung apples from evergreen trees at the winder solstice to remind themselves that spring and summer will come again. The evergreen tree was the special plant of their sun god, Baldor.

Answer 4

No, it's based off of pagan mythology. As a Christian, if it were up to me I wouldn't have a Christmas tree in the house at all. But I only allow it so as not to be a scrooge to those of my family.

Anoint This - Good one!
