Re: We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!
Looking forward to putting up the tree and lights on Sunday.
I thought I would do it just after church.
Since the Green Bay Packers play Monday night.
Looking forward to Thanksgiving...
What do the lights represent since they were invented some 4500 years after these pagans?
Maybe it is wrong we created light and are acting as God.....

Winter solace by building a snowman. Maybe.

Brother, if a person wants to preach against something, anything, there is some obscure scripture reference SOMEWHERE in the Bible that they can interpret to back up their belief.
I just think it's ridiculous to try and preach against Christmas trees based on the scriptures you listed.
No offense, just my humble opinion.

Be very careful when you end your statements "In Jesus Name".
You better know your statements are statements that he would support...

Re: We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!
My dog took a leak on a snow angel I made last year.
Does the mean my dog is lost?

Neck, I'm are not careful to answer you in this matter. The xmas is as false as the tinsel that hangs from the dying pine tree.

Brother Phelps you don't have any scripture for the entire practice for xmas.
The celebration is made up of rituals from pagans dating past the first century AD. Baptized by the Eastern and Western Churches and adopted by certian Christians there after.
Brother Phelps I'm not offended, I don't do the Popish festival.
I am glad that you are not offended.
