They also don’t know anything about TV ratings.

Some people should NOT be allowed to hold a Bible in their hands, let alone quote one on TV. What an idiot.

They only go by script. No brains or thinking required.

Trolling the Bible. Nice.

Is Steve Doocy the son of the Fox Doocy?

This is jaw dropping stupid.

The word “tree” when mentioned in the Bible automatically becomes a Christmas tree? Unbelievable!! Why can’t the tree be a Maple tree, an Elm tree, a Chestnut tree, a Palm tree?

Has anyone seen any Christian walking around carrying a Christmas tree?

A tree is wood. Plain and simple.

BTW, Jeremiah was a bull frog.

Sooo... I guess there's no reason for the ACLU to ban Christmas trees or Santa from courthouse lawns, because they're not in the Bible.

Ergo, not "religious".

Especially when it's from an Old Testament reference.

Not an ounce of anything Christian in Santa. He’s 100% pagan blood.

They’re banning one of their own. LOL

“and a craftsman shapes it with a chisel” into “idols that cannot speak”

Context is important, but it doesn’t appear they have the intelligence to sort it out. Not to mention, scoring a cheap shot against Sarah is just too tempting.

I’m a Fundamentalist Baptist and I can tell you that almost nothing about Christmas is Christian, including the tree which has its roots in Babylon. Trees, Presents, Yule Logs, wreaths, tinsel, holly etc......Are the traditions of Man with roots in ancient Pagan rituals.

And BTW, MSNBC is correct with the Bible Scripture they quoted; its just that most Christians prefer the Traditions of Man over the word of God.

It is both amusing and irritating when non-Christians decide how a Christian should live and then condemn us for not conforming to their standards.

Satan dares to interpret Holy Writ.

Fundamentalist Baptist

Well hoop-d-do... I wasn't aware that Baptists embraced Herbert W. Armstrong...

In case you weren't aware, that's what you have linked to... Note this, particularly the bold section, copied from information on their "about" page...

"In the past, God’s people all accepted the simplicity in Christ’s Matthew 16:18 statement—“I will build My Church”—and that it was solely fulfilled in the Worldwide Church of God, under Herbert W. Armstrong’s leadership."

MSNBC is correct with the Bible Scripture they quoted;

Correct in what fashion? Correct in that they actually managed to quote it correctly, or correct in their exegesis of the verse with careful consideration to the context. As you know I'm sure, a text used out of context is usually a pretext.

But then as a Baptist, you should know how to rightly handle the Word of Truth...

Okay, Jeremiah couldn’t have had Christmas trees in mind, if only because he was prophesying about six hundred years before Christ and about two thousand years before Christmas trees.

Really now. Is Ms. Reid trolling, or is she genuinely a special kind of stupid?
