Trees do make good fuel for fire. But pine and soft woods burn up very quickly while hard woods like oak burn slower. I wonder how long the lake will burn on the soft wood evergreen trees from all time that have been used in pagan holidays?

Well some elephants eat it, and a lot of it can be used for other goods. I know a lot of people create much which is awesome, and if they don't a lot of places do to keep the amount thrown out down. I think although not exciting it is kind of interesting. Also I would just like to you let you know, and I am sure you know. Your Father loves you very much. I'm sure we will see each other again sometime, shoot me a instant message sometime. I now must sleep to go back, to um wild people with returns tomorrow. Hope you and your family are having a great one.

Mulch* I always forget to proof read and check my comments and posts. Sorry about that, well I guess it could just not read at all. I am not rambling, and now must really go sleep.

Mulch often stinks - in my experience. I wonder why...

They should know it is the wrong date. Even the pastor at FBC in Trenton preaches that from the pulpit - that Dec 25 IS NOT THE MESSIAH'S BIRTHDATE.

I guess somehow that doesn't matter though - because people still keep celebrating a pagan holiday in the name of one not born on that day. Lil baby Jesus really is the biggest fig leaf cover up for Christmas. "But I'm just commemorating Jesus' birth" they say. Okay. It had nothing to do with TRADITIONS. FAMILY. PEER PRESSURE. GREED. LUST. RELIGION. etc. Right. Just blame the whole rotten mess on lil innocent baby Jesus. And you say you love him???

sarahma2ews January 10 2006, 04:51:29 UTC

you all are nuts. and im not being funny. seriously, what "shieldofdavid" just said, is possibly the stupidest thing i have ever heard. dec. 25 was set aside to celebrate jesus' birthdate, just like we celebrate our birthdays. and when i celebrate on christmas it doesn't have to do with tradition, peer pressure or any of that, but it does have to do with religion, duh! religion came from jesus being born and then dying, and then coming back to life. honestly, i think everyone in the world knows that jesus wasnt born on dec. 25, no one knows the real date because the calender was so different then than it is now. we just set aside a day to celebrate him. which is what i do. i dont know about you but i give thanks to him for everything he did for me throughout the year and i also tell him happy birthday. :) so, i think you guys need to rethink things before saying that everyone that celebrates christmas is going to burn in there stupid christmas trees. that is possibly one of the stupidest thing i have ever heard.

Sarah lets look historically at the practices which you do on Christmas, where it origanated, they are all INTERMIXED with PAGAN things. Not one thing is originally "christian", except the idea they do what the pagans did and say they do it to celebrate "JESUS"! With the scriptures i post, i left them with the mistranlated names so that you will see this is not our interpretation, but that Jeremiah and others warned us against such pagan practices ( ... )

Re: pagan merrittsse June 25 2006, 01:06:53 UTC

all very good points, and a good response to the one who didn't know about the origions of x-mas. but what about jeremiah using the word "palm" tree? Could this be a different tree that he's talking about? What is the historical interpretation of this scripture (other than the obvious, that we've just stated)? I don't doubt that you're correct in your application of the scripture, but I think we should be aware of alternate readings.
shalom to you.

Re: pagan chester_77 June 25 2006, 02:31:45 UTC

Lets think about it, lol. In the area around Yerushalem they hvae palm trees. IN the area around germany and russia they have pine. The point istn the type of tree, in fact many places do not use pine, cause it doesnt grow there. The point was that the practice of setting up trees and using them as idols was around way back when.

Never seen you post on my journal before. Thanks for your encouragement, please dont feel like im bashing you. IF you ever need or want to talk try my email its more effeciant, christdisciple06@gmail.com. Later dayz. Shalom!
