Some believe it is like desecrating the temple or holy place set aside for God, Because it is claimed/preached as such(Gods house with the platform and alter area being the most “holy place” because that is where people commit/encounter/meet w God. Is that generally the way it is thought of across the board in Pentecost, “House of God set apart for worship to God, sanctuary being the most holy place, and the platform and alter area maybe being considered the holy of holies area? If not what is the breakdown? FTR I don’t see a church bldg that way, but I’m discussing it because many do.
So with that said, why are decorated and adorned trees called Jesus trees set up there?
In the OT food that was once offered to idols, was not allowed to be eaten by Gods people. Yet nowadays trees adorned and fastened upright and called by Jesus name above every name, are set up on display, and surely even gifts placed under them. That seems to desecrate/defile the Saviours name “Jesus” above all names, by calling an adorned tree by his name. He’s not a tree. He’s our Saviour, THE annointed One.
So my question is, what idoes an adorned tree called a Christ tree being set up for display have to do with our Saviour Jesus Christ, and why would it be set up on display in a special holy place dedicated unto worship of that Saviour alone?
Benincasa, I read the first sentence of your response post and stopped there. I will not read your responses. You are a rude smart alloc, lacking the fruit of the Spirit, and an embarrassment to the forum regarding Christian character, as has been pointed out time and time again by many other posters in the past. You don’t quite go far enough to get banned, because they don’t ban people for talking to others like they are trash. Again I ask, please abstain from posting on my threads, and I will gladly do the same for you.

There are so many "idolatrous" practices within
every.single.church.
The days of the week, the months of the year, all our holidays... everything our country is founded upon, could somehow be traced back to an idolatrous practice. It is almost impossible to root it out. Talk about the "high places". Yes, we've got them, everywhere.
I don't think you will find a single church anywhere that doesn't have some form or function in their midst that could be traced back to some idolatrous practice.
