Of course Christmas is a lie. But you knew that, right?

I thought Jebus supposedly made the laws of the Old Testament obsolete but you Christians quote the OT when it suits you, talk about cherry picking.

There are ten commandments, I don't have a problem with any of them

[capleton]

The stuff in Jeremiah are not the 10 commandments though.

Matthew 5:17
Christ Came to Fulfill the Law

17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

No they are not , Jeremiah says not to be like the people who cut down trees and decorate them.


What it does show is the bible recognizes the custom of cutting down trees and decorating them belong to others and tells us not to follow their custom

You spelled Jesus wrong. I corrected it for you.

Matthew 5:17
Christ Came to Fulfill the Law

17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

“Do not alter quotations”
It’s right there in the rules joe.

Jerry was talking about Christmas trees? That some verbal gymnastics right there.
I guess he would have said that about the internet too, seeing it not of his custom, best log off cutter.

The last time I checked no one is worshiping their Christmas tree.

[1nick]

That’s debatable.

[Glacier]

Making something beautiful doesn't mean you worship it. I make beautiful snakes with clay, and don't worship them.

[1nick]

It’s a pot plant Glace.
Now I’m curious about your snakes.

Nick1, what Jeremiah says is not to do what they do , it describes people cutting down trees and decorating them.
No it does not use the word (christmas)

Kind of funny you feel the need to argue about a bible verse that actually supports what you are saying.

Let's think about that. People decorate their trees , put presents under it, gather around it to open presents , take pictures and share them to show how good their tree looks ect.

As a Christian, how does this practice worship God?

I think it’s funny you’re making a big deal out of a Christmas tree.
Sounds like a barrel of laughs around your place this time of year.
You must be one of the best christians around. Been to any good stonings lately?

Giving presents was to imitate the offerings of the three wise men. Geez Louise.
