Jeremiah describes a Pagan Custom very similar to Christmas​

In the following passage, Jeremiah describes a pagan custom that is very similar to Christmas in terms of its customs.

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 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. (Jeremiah 10:2-4)

In other words, decorating Christmas trees is pagan and not biblical.

Jeremiah was not talking about Christmas trees. He was talking about how the pagans created idols by using wood - that comes from the tree.

You are using and copying the ###'s teachings surrounding theological history, contextual language and modern day Christian holidays like Christmas. Christmas is an event to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, not to literally mark the birth of Jesus Christ.

Do not sow division in the Christian community by telling us to celebrate the Jewish holidays, to follow the 400+ laws (food, customs, clothing and so on) of the Old Testament. Jesus lived a perfect life, followed laws that we cannot follow, and died a perfect death, suffered a perfect resurrection for our sake! Not that we may become slaves of the law, but slaves of Christ.

Praise God, not the work you do!
