So then why do we continue their pagan practices
today?
“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. They deck it with silver and with gold; they
fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move
not”
Cutting down a tree and bringing it into your house is a vain custom anyway you slice it.
Whether it’s in a shape of an idol or just as a decorated tree, it doesn’t matter.
It’s a pagan form of worship.
God clearly tells us to not learn or practice these things.
