People who put up Christmas trees do not fall down to worship it. The ornamented tree is simply a symbol of festivity, a decoration and, the tree is a symbol of a nation or, a kingdom. It should in this case represent the Kingdom of God's people. I don't know of any Christian who falls down to worship the decorated tree. People don't fall down to worship floats in parades, they don't fall down to worship penyata's and, they don't fall down to worship Christmas tree's. The Lord is talking about people who worship idols carved out of the stock or, trunk of a tree and covered with plates of gold and silver fastened by nails and clad with clothing. The Lord is talking about idol worship, period! Not festivity decorations. Please don't confuse the two. The Holy Spirit has never convicted me for celebrating the birth of Christ with festive decorations and, the giving of gifts to my loved one's and friends. If the custom offends you and you wish to visit me during the Holiday Season I promise to remove the tree for your sake. I will not offend a Christian Brother or, any man for the sake of a custom. I hope this opens the eye's of your understanding.
