Christ must be horrified at Christmas

* Luís Alberto Alves

Curious as there is a Christian worshiping Christmas tree and even speaking that Jesus Christ was born in the month of December. They ignore the second chapter of Matthew, where the birth of Jesus Christ is narrated in the rule of Herod and in the city of Bethlehem of Judea, without, however, specifying the day and month. Even so, they sign below that Jesus was born in December and that's the end point.

Sadder in this story are teachers of theology hitting the foot that the Lord was born even this month and we should celebrate his birth, entering all this wave of the Christmas spirit. If you look at the entire New Testament, in no book, letter or epistle you will see any reference to the birth of Jesus Christ. Why did no apostle write about this subject?

In Jeremiah, chapter 10, from verse 4, God condemns the setting up of a Christmas tree in the house, custom of the Babylonians. Even so, this class does not accept. If the Lord clearly says that this is abomination, why do they insist on this tremendous error?

I have no doubt that from the highest heavens, Jesus Christ must be displeasing with this kind of reverence for a tree. Some say that this gesture helps evangelization. Christ does not need a cane to reach someone's heart. Nor much less the use of a pagan feast to worship Him.
