Read the Scripture it is easy to understand. The Christian is not under the law, but the law and the old testament exists for teaching and understanding. Once you understand the origins of the Pagan Tree (as phallic symbol to a Sun god) that was “Christianized” by the Romans you will understand why they were banned by the Puritans and why I no longer put one in my house.
I challenge you to find one piece of scripture from the KJV Bible justifying a Christmas Tree.

I also don't use King Jimmy. We don't speak that way anymore and he had the translation done as penance. The NIV uses the earliest texts available for translation. I prefer it.
