Jeremiah 10, Heathen Christmas Tree? Or Graven Image?

This video shows that Jeremiah 10 speaks of a graven image as we see in verse 14, and not a Christmas tree as some believe. For Christmas trees don't wear "...blue and purple CLOTHING..." as we see in verse 9.

A GRAVEN IMAGE is made of wood. The wood comes from the tree. The tree comes from the forest. Tools are used to shape it into an image. "Molten" gold and / or silver are then poured on it to finish it. Then it is worshipped as a god. That's the way of the heathen that Jeremiah 10 speaks of, not a Christmas tree.

In the story of "The Five Blind Men and The Elephant", the one who touched the tail said, "It's a snake". Another who touched one of the feet said, "It's a tree". Those who think Jeremiah 10 speaks of a Christmas tree obviously need to read more of it. Verse 14 says,

"Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the GRAVEN IMAGE: for his MOLTEN IMAGE is falsehood, and there is no breath in them."

Look... I take a tree out the forest, I bring it inside , I adorn it with My offerings of gold and silver which I place in it limbs and hang from its leaves , I then light it up and stare adoringly at it as I wait to open the Blessings ( gifts ) I recieve FROM under it's boughs ....HOW is the NOT worship of an Idol ????

@XmassIsALie - The bottom line is that theological "syncretism" is condemned throughout the Scriptures from the beginning to the end. If you are in a "church" that teaches "syncretism" as it's Christianity, you are in a false Church. You are learning from "Nicolaitans", not real Christians. Rev.2:6,15

@shempmocurly It could very well be talking about Asherah's (what many cultures, particularly the Israelites used as worship during these times). They were wood carved into images of Gods and they were dressed up as Jeremiah 10:2-7 states it was. But I don't have Christmas trees just to be on the safe side.

@XmassIsALie If the U.S. Congress thought Christmas was not Christian then that was their opinion. There are opposing opinions on Christmas. Who said their opinion was right? Maybe some people use Christmas to worship other gods. But a true Christian worships Christ when he celebrates it, NOT any pagan god. Another reason not to judge according to Romans chapter 14.

@SRamdhani1 - Even the "Christian" U.S. Congress, admitted in Congressional Record E13461, the REASON they were making "Christmas" a "federal law" was BECAUSE it was (NOT Christian) but the "worship of the Sun" in ancient Rome. The worship of Sol Invictus!!! The "Unconquered Sun". Masons were behind this move, and they are also behind most of this in Christian Churches. They know precisely what it is. They say so themselves. They TELL YOU that is what it is. Please don't remain in denial.

@SRamdhani1 - Sungod religion is dead?!? LOL!! Ok SRamdhani, then ask yourself why does the idol of "Christ" at the Vatican every December 25th, have sun-spikes sticking out it's head, and look exactly like Apollo? Why is it's birthday on the "solar-solstice"? Why the Eucharist (in "Christ" mass) held in a metal "Sunburst"? Why the wafer in the shape of "Sun"? Why did Rome's "Fathers" call their non-Jewish, non-fleshly Roman Christ the "sun of the sun"? Ask a "Mason" if "solar-worship" is dead.

[SRamdhani1]

@XmassIsALie The Pharisee that wrote most of the New Testament was a good one. The sun-god religion is dead,thanks to Christmas & Jesus' birth. No,Christians who celebrate Christmas are not doing Rome's solar-mass to Apollyon. That's your opinion. Based on your judgment, then they who celebrate New Years Eve are worshipping me, because that's my birthday. See why the Holy Spirit gave us Rom.14 ? You may be sincere in your belief, if so, then you are sincerely wrong. But I respect your opinion.

[XmassIsALie]

@SRamdhani1 - No actually, true worship comes from "spirit and truth", which Christmas is not. And you are speaking complete ignorance about pharisees. A pharisee wrote most of the New Testament. Php 3:5 They were condemned for compromising with sun-god worship in the synagogue Re.2:9, then being strict over things that had nothing to do with anything God commanded. They were practicing hypocrites, for the very same reason "Christians" doing Rome's solar-mass to Apollyon as a "Christ" mass are.

@SRamdhani1 - You can call a cat a dog till you're blue in the face, and even convince yourself it is true, It will not make the cat turn into a dog. People being happy Christ was born, had nothing to do with Rome's continuation of the worship of Apollo "as a "Christ" mass. You are simply lying to yourself to maintain that claim, even rejected by secular historians, and Rome itself. Rome itself, the people who invented the practice. How dull can you get? Rome even tells you what they did.

[SRamdhani1]

@XmassIsALie To you,Christmas has nothing to do with Christ.Well, that's your opinion. But like the Pharisees in Lk 19:39, & Judas in Jn 12:1-8, your opinion is wrong. I think you are violating God's warnings in Romans 14. For true worship comes from the heart, & only God can see that.

[SRamdhani1]

@XmassIsALie At Jesus' birth a spirit of great joy came to all people. Because of this both the righteous & unrighteous rejoiced & celebrated when He was born,& still do today. Isn't that a kind of syncretism? Other than that there is none. Attending Church on Dec 25 to celebrate God's gift of Salvation that came when Jesus was born is no syncretism. Is singing & preaching of the virgin birth, giving praise, feasting & giving gifts like the Jews in Est.9 pagan rituals? & fellowship with demons?

[XmassIsALie]

@SRamdhani1 - What I don't understand about your theology, is that you cite premillenialism as your eschatology. Premillenialists do not (and never have) accepted "syncretism", unless this is something brand new that started last year? The Bible from Genesis to Revelation condemns this practice and theology as apostacy. Yet you defend "syncretism", and then claim Luke 2:10 justifies it (admitting it in the Roman Solar-mass as a "Christ" mass?) Do you realize how illogical all that is?
