Okay, I'm going to show you the pagan roots and origins of the Christmas tree and that Christmas tree is not new and it goes back to the Old Testament, when the Israelites will be were becoming pagan. Now the common passage that is used to prove that Christmas trees are pagan is Jeremiah chapter 10 which amends to that. I mean Jeremiah 10 proves that Christmas trees are pagan. However Jeremiah chapter 10 is not the only passage or a verse that proves that Christmas trees are pagan. It shows some other scriptures that prove that this practice of decorating a tree or putting objects under a tree is pagan. Second King is 17 and 9 and 10. Second King is chapter 17 verses 9 and 10. And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the Lord their God and they built them high places in all their cities from the tower of the washroom to the fence city. And look at this and they set them up images and grows in every high hill and under every green tree. So they were setting up images and putting them under every green tree, a green tree which is you know ever green's green trees. Obviously you know they might not have had ever green's but they were putting all idols of green images under a tree. Isaiah chapter 57 verses 4 to 5 5 Against whom the sport yourselves against whom the sort of against whom make you a wide mouth and draw out the tongue. Are you not the children or are you not children in transgression a seed of falsehood and flaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, sliding the children in the valleys under the cliffs of the rocks. So again they're putting idols under green trees just like how people will put presence under the tree. It's pagan. Isaiah chapter 6 verse 13 Then shall you know the eye in the Lord when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars upon every high hill and all with hops of the mountains and under every green tree and under every thick oak a place where they did sweet savior to all their idols or did all her sweet savior to all their idols. So again you see this thing are putting idols under trees under green trees under a thick oak. So we see again this concept of putting items under a tree as a form of vis-a-vis worship is pagan. Now the infamous Jeremiah chapter 10. Jeremiah chapter 10 verses 2 to 4. We're going to see this concept of not only putting things under tree but also decorating a tree and putting things under it is pagan. Jeremiah chapter 10 verses 2 to 4. Thus say at the Lord learn not the way of the heathen and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven for the heathen are dismayed of them for the customs of the people are vain for one cuteth a tree out of the forest the work of the hands of the workmen with the axe they deck it with silver and with gold they fasten it with nails and with handers then it move not. Is that not what Christmas trees are? You cut a tree over the woods you decorate it you hammer it down so it can't move exactly what Christmas trees are. It is pagan according to the Bible is practice of decorating trees and putting items underneath it is pagan. But I'm going to show you an interesting article on the pagan roots of the Christmas tree. It's very simple because Google the pagan roots of the Christmas tree and lots of results come up so I'm going to read you this article proving that Christmas trees are pagan. Okay let's get right into it. Okay here is the article the pagan origins of the Christmas tree. So it's going to zoom in right here. It says dating back centuries before Christ cultures brought brought evergreen trees plants and leaves into their homes upon the arrival of winter solstice which occurs in the northern hemisphere between December 21st and December 22nd. Though the specific practices were different in each country in culture the symbolization was generally the same to celebrate the return of life at the beginning of winter's decline. Egyptians particularly valued evergreen as a source of life life's victory over death. They brought green day palm leaves into their homes around the time of winter solstice. The Romans had a public festival called Saturnalia which lasted one week beginning on December 17th and included a variety of celebrations around the winter solstice. Curiously the Roman winter solstice was marked on December 25th of the Julian calendar. These celebrations are our thought to have merged with pagan practices of hanging in mistletoe and burning of the eulog. So the mistletoe was also pagan as well by the way. In Britain the eulog was rich and originally seen as a magical angular and eventually made into the hands of Father Christmas. In Italy the eulog is still burned for the Fiesta di Capo in Catalona. The log is wrapped in a blanket until Christmas Eve when it is unwrapped and burned for the custom of the Furkhaegger LTO and in Serbia families bring the eulog. Notice the bad badgenak into their homes on Christmas Eve to be burned all in a prayer to God to bring happiness, luck and riches. Drewd priests in Great Britain also used evergreen plants in mistletoe and pagan ceremonies and the mistletoe plant was the symbol of the birth of the god. Oh oh, obey God. Caluctive Drewds and Norsemen of Scandinavia also used mistletoe in a mysterious ceremony that was just after Winter solstice or after the Winter solstice. In the May 15th hundreds Germans began using evergreen trees as a symbol of hope for the coming of spring. This practice is likely to have gradually evolved from the pagan rituals of the past and merge with the celebration of Christmas leading to the tree's Christian beginnings. Critical Christian. Drewd priests in Roman Catholic if you look at the histories of it, just the Roman Catholic Church tried to paganize or christianize paganism essentially. There's other information but this is just simple stuff right here but there go the pagan origins of the Christmas tree. So this practice of decorating a tree, you know, putting things underneath it goes back before Christ. It goes back to paganism. So Christmas trees are pagan. So don't if you're a christian, remember what the god said, learn not the way of the heathen. Yeah, don't learn the way of the heathen. Don't bring in a Christmas tree because you're learning the way of the heathen. So there you have it. The Christmas tree is our pagan and it is the way of the heathen. And remember god said learn not the way of the heathen by bringing a Christmas tree into your home decorating and putting items underneath it, idols underneath it. You are learning the way of the heathen. That's why I'm letting you scripture. Christmas trees are not biblical and nowhere in the Bible the Christ or the apostles ever celebrate Christ's birth or observe his birth. Okay, that's not scripture either. No more in the Bible. Is there an activity scenes or that kind of stuff? It's all Catholic paganism. It's just Roman Catholic repackaging of paganism. So don't learn the way of the heathen and just if you want to celebrate Christ's birth just, you know, just don't you know what to do on December 25th because that's one of a lot of false gods or warm. Just, you know, obviously it's not biblical. The celebrated is not required. But if you want to celebrate his birth, do it any day. You know, you don't have the weight till December 25th and you don't have to have an activity scene or do all those other pagan stuff and you don't have to have a Christmas tree out there. It's all paganism. It's all just Roman Catholic paganism. The Roman Catholic pagan church tried to Christianize paganism. So don't be deceived by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Be with all the brethren. Goodbye.
