You are banking an awful lot on a very narrow reading of English words capturing precisely the original Hebrew—

That could be said about every word in the Bible through ALL it's translations.

But don't worry.

All I said I agree it is in the Bible.

Not that one is going to Eternal Damnation because one puts up a tree out of custom, an evergreen that has lost all its original nordic-pagean meaning.

Maybe if you are are offering sacrefices to a long forgoted nordic deity.(any Thor, Frieda worshipers here?)

If you accept the Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I don't believe you're be held wanting on the Day of Judgement if you hang a little mistletoe(another pagaen custom) on a certain day(date) of the year(which is also pagaen in origins)

This is for the the purist who say "if it ain't in the Bible, Jesus wouldn't approve."crowd

(Don't get me started on the Sunday vs. the Saturday Sabbath)

This is the spiritual equivalent of the drive-by shooting.

“Ah, it’s in the bible” and then to pointedly fail to identify the proper referent.
