Jeremiah Christmas Tree
They fasten it with hammer and nails so that it cannot move jeremiah 10 2 4 esv.
Jeremiah christmas tree. For one cutteth a tree out of the forest the work of the hands of the workman with the axe. The christmas tree is at best a symbol. It is not something we worship as a god. Many have used this passage to argue that the bible condemns the use of christmas trees.
For the customs of the people are vain. Is it something we can do without. Thus saith the lord learn not the way of the heathen and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven. They decorate it with silver and gold.
A tree from the forest is cut down and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman. There are superficial similarities between our christmas tree and the tree of isaiah or jeremiah. Jeremiah 10 and the christmas tree. People today do not normally associate christmas with the winter solstice but that does not change its pagan origin.
For the heathen are dismayed at them.
