Maybe true but I don’t think that is the question. Not only MSNBC is it smearing Sarah Palin thet are also slandering Christians. So MSNBC holds themselves out as theological determiner of what the Christmas Tree that is traditional with Christians represents? The fact is that Christians worship the birth of Christ at Christmas whether Christ was born in December or not. No one worships a tree. MSNBC is pointedly disparaging Christianity, not the tree. Joy Reid should have also have noted what Christ said.
“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you”
Matthew 5:44
For me It’s not about worship of a tree, it’s about obedience to the one true God.
Psalm 1
King James Version (KJV)
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
