Do you use a lot of Christian spoons and knives also? Are there Christian forks? Is there a Christian fork dedicated to Jesus?

No we can't, because there is no strong argument for ornaments placed on trees concerning Jesus Christ.

No, that's in the Bible. The tree, and the jewelry that goes on the tree along with the 25th of December is NOT in the Bible. Therefore we can deny the Tinsel Tree of the Catholic Faith and teach our children the same.

Homosexuals getting married and affecting the politics of our nation, and am going to worry about one month out of twelve? No thank you, we have bigger fish to fry. I suggest we 86 the warm fuzzies and start winning souls in Jesus name the other 11 months.

Go for it, and you will only prove to the world that you are a religion like any other religion. Man made, like a hand grenade.

So you should not be worried that anyone socially might take your right away to worship or assemble to worship.

Because you do not want the world to see you a religion.

How about they just see you as a Christian?

Let the spoils try and call us what they want....

It is amazing how much Jevoha Witness....Witness we have in the house...

Hey, Neck, you are foaming and running down the rabbit hole! Come back, Neck, come back! What does the above have to do with the Catholic Tree mass being unbiblical? Neck? Mellow, mellow, mellow.

I'm not Roman Catholic. See what religion? Oh, maybe you're talking about Mirthraism?

Seriously, it's once a month! You want to make a grandstand statement once a month?

Every Christian value is under attach because men like you have given up the fight on the frontlines by taking the name of Christ our of a season.

That has the attention of 2 billion people on earth.

I have never associated the tree that we decorate each year as a memorial or alter to Jesus Christ.

I worship it no more than I worship the pagen fork.

Again you pervert the holiday as saying everything associated with the day is about Christ.

The birth of Christ and affection one for another and the giving of gifts.

Is in memory of Christ.

Again we do not pray to nor worship the tree....

Neck you defend it like you were a Catholic Crusader, dripping in blood of the heretics.

Interesting, very interesting. You know you must of brought up the fork deal at least three times. Can you show me were pagans worshiped a fork?
Also where did the Catholic or Protestants churches ever adopt the fork into their faiths and pass it down unto the other Christian sects?

I pervert it? Where did you get that from? You have a pagan Catholic holiday that has a Tree with jewelry on it and claim it represents Jesus Christ's birth, and you say I pervert it? My dear fellow poster, you cannot pervert something that is already tainted.

Try out some Charles Dickens, his wish was that it was kept round the year.
Sad thing is you seem not to be doing that? Forget the green trees and practice your faith year round.

From the looks of this thread and your posts, you would be hard pressed to prove otherwise.
