How about the “profit” Jeremiah giving a perspective to a pagan practice

It's the "prophet" Jeremiah

But rest is correct about the Bible on "Christmas" Trees

Just saying...

[Hieronymus]

But rest is correct about the Bible on “Christmas” Trees

---

You are banking an awful lot on a very narrow reading of English words capturing precisely the original Hebrew—or perhaps you hold that the translation that you favour is more inspired than the original.

I’m fairly sure that my tree was cut down with a chainsaw, it is not fastened with nails, it moves all too much, and there is no silver or gold—but even if you can discount these things, and by some chance Jeremiah was dealing with Christmas trees, the passage does not close “get rid of them”but
“be not afreaid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”

Merry Chirstmas!!!

Superficial similarity does not amount to sameness... sigh.

This was a description of a practice by which a cut tree was actually worshiped. Noting that nobody does that with a Christmas tree should be “the end of the story.” Too many Christians get hung up over this kind of fantastical-legalistic, superficial similarity and end up going nowhere spiritually.
