That is what the first part of this chapter is speaking of. The first part speaks of an idol that is created from wood. I have heard some try to say this is the same thing as a Christmas tree, but I would have to disagree. It is clearly an idol, which means it is something that a person would bow down and worship. I have never worshipped a Christmas tree. The latter part of the chapter is warning of judgements, that are going to come upon Judah. I doubt that is what you are refering to, but if I am wrong, could you please clarify things? my Bible says not to learn the 'way of the heathen', that means anything-anywhere Forgive me, perhaps there are sub-contexts in another Bible, i'm not aware of.

But what does it mean to learn the ways of the heathen? Does that mean anything a heathen thinks of to do? I mean, where do you draw the line? Even the internet on which you are posting may have been created by the heathen? To me it comes down to if something is sinful. I have no reason to believe it is a sin to have a Christmas tree, if that is what you are refering to. At the same time, it is a great sin to bow down to idols. the Command is God's. draw the line as you have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
