It seems to be a “thing” now...

It was a thing 20 years ago too. Hipsters gonna hipster. The real Christian question is why a tree at all?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78042466


Because it is a holiday taken from the ancient druids. Druids would have never chopped down the tree though. That meant death because their gods lived in them. Hence why they would decorate them and leave presents under them.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76984449

the druids also decorated trees with the heads of their slain enemies...

Yeah they did some gruesome things. Hence the Christmas balls.

Re: Upside down Christmas tree....Why?
Awhile back, with the game Portal, people would mount their Christmas tree upside down on the ceiling or sideways on a wall, with the portal light halo around the base. This made it appear like the tree was sticking out of a portal.

That aside, these new ones are probably meant to be some sort of inversion of the Christian attachment to the holiday.

Christmas is a pagan holiday masquerading as a Christian one. Even though Christians perceive it as a satanic inversion (and it probably is), its meaning falls short because a Christmas tree has nothing to do with Jesus whatsoever.

Since it is ingrained in our minds, however, the effect is the same; it is seen as blasphemy, because of the attachment we place on it.

For non-Christians, it is just more of the same... a satanic agenda aimed at hearts and minds, to turn us away from God and embrace ever more depraved and openly, blatantly satanic themes, causing worship of the beast system.

If you’re not with God, you’re against him. Something to think about.

It was popularized by Queen Victoria because her husband Price Albert grew up with those types of decorations in Germany.

They can’t debunk what is historical. The RCC is the one who took pagan holidays and tried to Christianize them. They polluted first century Christianity.

Re: Upside down Christmas tree....Why?
I look at it this way, the Christians can have their Jesus' birthday holiday and celebrate it any way they want to as far as i am concerned but I do think the modern expression of Christmas is an intentional commercially motivated distraction from that meaning that tends to being out the greed in children and confuse them as to the true meaning of it from the christian perspective.I suspect this is largely j*wish plot.

That being said, it's nice to have all the lights, decorations, happy children and partying at the darkest time of the year which is what I think the holidaze are really all about for me and most people.

Re: Upside down Christmas tree....Why?
It's a way to praise fallen angels (Greek Gods). As above, so below - as Hermes was to have said. It sounds crazy to many good hearted, hard working people who haven't gone down the rabbit hole.. but once you have; there's no going back. EVERYTHING is connected to Greek mythology, it's all evil too. Hollywood, is a modern day tribute to the mirror lake in Italy known as 'Holywood' Diana was the Goddess there. People thought 'Dirty Diana' the song by Michael Jackson was about a fan, a regular woman.. not so much. He was very well versed in history, mythology and was dropping hints like crazy. Poor fella never stood a chance..

Yeah. Late September early October. The weather would have been good then since the shepherds were out with their flocks. Excellent traveling weather unlike rainy cold December.

Because December 25 is a demons birthday. Of course Satan would do that to Jesus. We don’t know the exact day of his birth but we do know the time frame and isn’t December. Jesus didn’t even celebrate his birthday. None of the Jewish people did. It was pagan. We know the exact day and hour of his death though. If God wanted us to celebrate Jesus birth he would have given us the day and even the hour. Jesus said to remember his death because that is what saves us. Not his birth.

Re: Upside down Christmas tree....Why?
Christmas trees are pagan, from pagan orgins. Nothing has changed today except more people embraced paganism.

Jeremiah 10: 1-5

10 Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:

2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
 Quoting: 44 Legend







Well, that was interesting!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78160941


Not really. Here's are some insights from David Guzik's commentary on this passage in Jeremiah:

" Nevertheless, there are many reasons to believe that despite some similarities, the differences are even greater and do not prohibit the modern custom of the Christmas tree.

· Jeremiah spoke regarding the customs of the Gentiles, and in the modern world the appropriate celebration of Christmas is an expression of believe in God and His Son, not a custom of unbelievers.

· Jeremiah spoke of believers borrowing customs of unbelievers; in the modern world, when an unbeliever has a Christmas tree, it is a case of unbelievers borrowing the customs of believers.

· Jeremiah spoke of a tree regarded as an idol, and (properly understood) the modern Christmas tree is not an idol. If for a family it is or becomes an idol, it should be discarded with.

· Jeremiah spoke to a time in history when trees were often directly connected with idolatry, either literal trees or their representations (Jeremiah 2:27).
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78141960


God has never sanctified anything pagan. Once pagan, always pagan. Christmas was started/influenced by Constantine who incorporated the pagan traditions of the winter solstice pagan rituals. That is why it is on Dec 25th, near the winter solstice and not in the fall when Jesus was actually born.

Just like Easter incorporates the Ester egg and the Easter bunny, symbols of fertility worship which was used in the spring pagan worship.

Re: Upside down Christmas tree....Why?
For those of you who say Christmas is a "pagan" holiday steeped in pagan symbology, i say this...horseshit.
Festivals around the winter solstice are as old as history itself, and not inherently "evil" in any way. It was a celebration of the lengthening of the day and the promise of the return of spring, just as Easter is fertility festival celebrating rebirth in springtime around the vernal equinox .

the symbols can mean whatever you want them to mean and the meaning of the holiday is whatever you make it out to be in your own mind. There is nothing "wrong" with having fun or celebrating things that people were dependent on for survival.

It is not a comfortable time of year and definitely bad for traveling. Since Jesus was 33 1/2 years old when he died in late March early April that would have put his birth 6 months later. Not in December.

Re: Upside down Christmas tree....Why?
Yeah, because the original Messiah and followers celebrated pagan shit, LOL!!!

The ONLY feast days mentioned or alluded to in the "NT" where the same ones in Leviticus 23.

Yeshua and the ORIGINAL taught ones ONLY celebrated the Feasts found in Leviticus 23, along with weekly Shabbat.

Sunday, "christmas", and ishtar/easter were NEVER kept by Yeshua or the Original taught ones. All those PAGAN days were added by the "church fathers", Constantine, and roman catholic "church", etc.

Most of you think you are following Messiah, but if you truly examine what He taught and kept, you would realize that you are following the imposter.

He even warned you that imposters would arise:

Mat 24:4  And Yeshua answering, said to them, “Take heed that no one leads you astray. 
Mat 24:5  “For many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they shall lead many astray.

IMO if the fable is true which i sincerely doubt), the "golden calf" was a scam cooked up between Aron and Moses to defraud the people of their gold....After Moses came down from the mountain after" communing with god", he feigned disgust and warned them of eternal damnation by his jealous "god" if they didn't destroy it, and it was burned in fire. They never got their gold back, but since gold doesn't burn (or dissolve in water), somebody did..guess who?

have a NICE day!

Re: Upside down Christmas tree....Why?

For those of you who say Christmas is a "pagan" holiday steeped in pagan symbology, i say this...horseshit.
Festivals around the winter solstice are as old as history itself, and not inherently "evil" in any way. It was a celebration of the lengthening of the day and the promise of the return of spring, just as Easter is fertility festival celebrating rebirth in springtime around the vernal equinox .

the symbols can mean whatever you want them to mean and the meaning of the holiday is whatever you make it out to be in your own mind. There is nothing "wrong" with having fun or celebrating things that people were dependent on for survival.

The use of pine trees is an old pagan tradition. It has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus. So whatever your intentions for it are is up to you. Most people just like them. Kids really like them.

Re: Upside down Christmas tree....Why?
it is an interesting truth that the killing of Jesus took place on a FRIDAY on eve of the "Passover" which itself had it's origins in the fertility festival and tied to the phases of the moon and vernal equinox, it takes place on the first full moon after the vernal equinox, modern Christian Easter always occurs on the first Sunday after the paschal full Moon and closely corresponds with Passover , as Christmas does with Hanukah , and since all of the j wish holidays are tied to the phases of the moon, does that mean their god was the moon and they themselves were pagans and astrologers?

perhaps..

I see how the ornaments looks so much prettier, I saw one with an under water mermaid thing and it was beautiful but...as a Christian it just feels wrong.
