And personally....I think distorting the truth is a far worse sin in God's sight than putting up a decorative tree.

This is why we cut the roots off the tree, so as not to have ties to paganism!

Good one! 
Makes about as much sense as worshipping your Christmas tree!

Even though this verse has nothing to do with Christmas,it does mention the exchanging of gifts just like Jeremiah 10 mentions a tree.
By the way doesnt the Bible talk about banquets too?  |
LOL!  Bro Trippy you are too much!
I'm going to let the Anti Christmas crowd argue you with on that one

Are you an ultra con again?? This is not a putdown... just don't know where you are at again

I am not in any camp, bro. I am being me, what I believe, and left all the nonsense and letting people pull me. I guess, test the fruit, and let time tell.
