 |
|
| I saw a video on you tube and I heard that we bow or kneel down before the tree to put Christmas presents under the tree, how is that worshiping the tree, what if a person has one of those trees that turn slowly when it is on, my family has one of those Martha Stewart Christmas trees that had lights on it when we bought I forgot how long we have had that tree, it is not a real tree though, anyway do people worship their Christmas tree when the bow before it to put Christmas gifts under the tree.this question was posted by Santa on May 5th2008-Sunday |

| I'm so short I don't have to kneel. I just drop it.Tree-worshipping...That's something new. |

| Not I. It may be a pagan tradition to have a Christmas tree, but it is a lovely tradition. (:Edit: Quiet.Buck, I hate to tell you this, but Christmas is a pagan holiday. Christians have adopted many of its traditions, including the Christmas tree. It doesn't mean that you can't still celebrate the birth of Christ even though He was born in summer. |

| Christmas is not a holiday about Christ, but a Pagan holiday brought over to convert Pagans to Christianity. Bible is very clear that we are not to bring over traditions from others. For they are not things for us. Remember, we were brought out to get away from such practices.2Thessalonians 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Master Yahushua the Messiah, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after the Messiah. It is also clear about the so called Christmas tree that so many like to decorate and set up.Jeremiah 10:2-4Thus saith YHWH, 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 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 with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.Recall the story of Moses getting the tablets?. Those with him while waiting made a holiday unto G_D. But G_D did not make that holiday, in turn He punished those who made it.Christmas is the same thing. A holiday for G_D that we created and He did not. And Jesus's birthday was not in winter. |

| I would be more inclined to worry that we are worshipping the presents instead. |
