Jeremiah 10:3-4 has NOTHING to do with the very MODERN practice of putting up a Christmas tree in your home to celebrate the incarnation.
There was NO such idea in ancient near eastern culture. This verse was explicitly talking about the pagans and how they’d carve idol gods out of the trees they’d chop down and worship them.
Solomon used trees and overlayed them with gold to built Yahweh’s temple in 2 chronicles 3:5.
Let’s stop butchering the text.
