A Eulogy For The Christmas Tree

First Blog published Friday, November 26, 2004

Do you kill a tree at Christmas because Jesus was born? Those who commit the act of participating in the lie of killing a tree for the birth of Jesus at Christmas, in so doing, they suppress truth and teach a lie about the true birthday of Jesus; The Book of Romans. Chapter1: verse 18 Declares that "The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wicked acts that teach lies."

Those who in the pagan acts of participating in the lie of killing and decorating a living tree for the birth of Jesus, at Christmas, in so doing, they suppress truth and teach a lie about the rebirth of Jesus in his resurrection;

Romans. chapter 1: verse 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wicked actions.

Who cares about the living plant, except when we desire to use or eat them? I found the following article in The Almanac for Farmers & City Folk very interesting;

"For some time horticulturist and plant physiologist have been telling people to talk to their house plants if they want to keep them thriving and healthy. According to a recently published report I read somewhere, the latest scientific findings purport to prove conclusively that members of the vegetable class of living things have some type of feelings and emotions. Some plants are said to even be capable of experiencing pain." See Page 26 in; The Almanac For Farmers & City Folk---1993

It is also reported in another scientific article, a scientist accidentally has discovered that certain plants can actually read your mind. Some plants read you mind as you are about to kill them and can actually change chemical resistance because they know that you are thinking about killing them.

Whether true or not after reading these articles about a tree that can feel and can also think, I begin to imagine the thoughts and complaints that could be made by killing the unfortunate Christmas tree at Christmas. The Christmas tree is killed, only because men celebrate that Jesus was born, so I wrote this poem for the tree who is complaining about his wrongful death only because Jesus was born. I name this poem the Eulogy of the Christmas Tree.

The Eulogy of The Chrstmas Tree
At Christmas some celebrate me as a tree god, with the Christ, they make me a stooge;
When some Christians teach the truth about Christmas, other “Christians” will call you a Scrooge.
I cry out in protest but only God can hear me, most tradition bound “Christians” won't listen because I'm only a tree.

In protest I was cut down, in the fire my branches they toss;
For unjust reasons, some say, I was made in the form of a cross.

They forced Him to carry me; the creator of me, to make a miracle, He refused, and I was too heavy, because I'm only a tree!

In Spirit He is God, yet he is in the form of a man, a Crown of thorns is upon his head; He knew our future together, as He cringed in His dread.

My creator and I, we are both cut, and already dying; as the elements of all earth and all in heaven are crying.
I protest for Him, but only God can hear me; the soldiers can not hear, because I'm only a tree!“

They made me His burden, my Creator's half dead; beaten and shamed, up that steep hill, He groans as he bled.
On that high hill together, with heavens Highest Holy See; they drive the nails through Him and on through me.

I'm honored my Creator, to be dying with Thee; both remembered at Christmas by the killing of a tree?

A few days before Christmas, the slaughter will begin; for millions of beautiful young trees, life will come to an end!
I cry out in protest, but only God can hear me; tree cutters can't hear, because I'm only a tree!

I am cut down at Christmas, for a deceitful and unjust cause; to celebrate Jesus, with an impostor named;
"Old Santa Clause.”

All clothed in red get up and false long white beard; he fools little children as he's gleefully cheered.
I cry out in protest but only God can hear me; the little children can't hear, because I'm only a tree!“

“Who cares about life or the beauty of a living tree; at Christmas great fortunes are made by the killing of me.
They decorate my dying branches with tinsel and bright light, flocked with white fluff, what a beautiful sight.

Like a dead man in his coffin, decorated in his best, alongside the fire place they stand me to rest.
To earth and all heaven I'm making my plea, as around me they gather and sing -"Oh, Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas tree.”

I cry out in protest but only God can hear me; the singers will not listen, because I'm only a tree!

A bright star in my fore tassel, I bow so forlorn, as they lie to little children and say; "Today Jesus was born!

They give each other gifts and pay for them later; but not one gift do they give to our loving creator.
Merchants are delighted as they rake in their pay; they're the ones who profit most from a "White Christmas day.”
Many have months of hardship and for some a wretched day; for indiscriminate buying, many hardships they pay.

Giving at Christmas may be good and is contentment to the mind; it's not a time to take a life but a time to be kind.
If you will only refuse to buy or cut a tree this season; the cause to take my life, you take away the reason.
So instead, this Christmas, will you please plant a tree, make some little seed happy and stop the false reason for the killing of me?

I cry out in protest but only God can hear me; “Christians” won't listen, because I'm only a tree!

Greetings and Salutations before Christmas.

If you participate in killing a tree at Christmas, you are keeping a tradition of killing a tree because Jesus was born. As the New Year looms, and "Christmas" comes near, it should be a timely reminder of the billions of dead trees that are cast out of the earth only because Jesus was born. The dead Christmas trees that cause empty spaces and wounds of the earth, is left as a continual reminder of man's ignorance and total waste at Christmas.

The tender remembrance of each other, we should and with benevolent hearts always seek those in need. Disciples of Jesus or Christians should know what they do, when they celebrate the remembrance of Jesus by sacrificing millions of trees at Christmas. Know this, there is no reward but instead a disgrace, if you kill a tree because Jesus was born.

Think for a moment, it was on a tree that Jesus was hanged and nailed to in his horrifying death for us. Our modern science prove, trees have "feelings" and are living comprehensive entities. You may be surprised to learn, in scientific resistance test in plants, it is stated by some scientists, that plants and trees can read our thoughts. If this strange report is true, then what would the lowly trees think of our killing them because Jesus was born? “

As ridiculous as it may seem, giving or sparing the life of a "Christmas tree" at "Christmas," is more Christ like, than to kill a tree, or have some one kill it for you- “because Jesus was born.”


All who love truth should know the truth about “Christmas.” Christmas is not the true birthday of the crucified Christ. Christmas day is at first, the celebrated birthday of the pagan sky or sun god Mithra.

The pagan god Mithras was believed to be born out of a rock On December 25.


The sky god Mithras wore the same floppy hat that is now worn by the modern Santa Clause. In worship on Sunday morning near Christmas, you can see the dying decorated tree and men and women wearing the same floppy hat of the sun god Mithras. Mithras was the favorite sun god of a pagan Roman emperor whom the apostle Paul prophesied would make himself a god on earth or the head of the fourth century church (2Thess. 2:1-12). This ancient emperor’s name was Constantine “The Great.”

The prophet Daniel also prophesied how this pagan ruler constantine would think to change God's Bible time and the times God has set to worship (see Daniel 7:25).


Constantine was one of the world’s most deceptive rulers of the pagan Roman “church.” Modern Catholics identify this ancient ruler who lived all his life thinking that he was the physical god over the pagan church and all the people. Constantine stopped using Bible as doctrine and instead begin to created what is called Catechism for law. He changed the name of of the Christian “Ekklesia of Christ” to the “Church” to stop open polemic debate in the open assembly of the Ekklesia. Constantine wed pagan traditions with the religion of Christians and formed what today is identified as the Catholic Church. Constantine instead of being a Christian he lived all his life as a believer and worshipper of the pagan sky gods. As emperor and the first head over their catholic church as today he is identified by the Catholic church as the “blessed Constantine.” (See Paul’s Warning against this false teaching of this man Constantine 2Thess. 2:1-12.)

Ancient Roman rulers thought, because they were made ruler over the Roman people, they were created as a god on earth by the almighty sun god. Constantine did not believe the Bible. He did think the Christ of all Christians was the same pagan god as his favorite sky god Mithras. The worshippers of the sky god Mithras thought Mithras was born out of a rock on the twenty-fifth day of December. Constantine thought his god Mithras or his sun god Jesus had made him a human ruling god on earth. Constantine thought Mithras (or his Jesus) had made him head over the Roman Empire and over the fourth century church (read Constantine The Great” by John Holland Smith).

The ancient pagans kept the twenty fifth day of December as a holy day, because the sky god Mithras or their Jesus was born on that day. Constantine elevated himself as the head of the ancient fourth century church, believing that Jesus was his god who was born out of a rock. He made the twenty fifth day of December, which was the birth day of his “almighty” sky god Mithras, the same birthday as his sun god J-Zeus or Jesus.

Note the halo over the head is the sign of the sun god. Above Constantine is shown giving Christians their Bible. Notice, carefully, The sign of the worshippers of the sun god, is the sun halo around the heads of all idols, icons, statutes and pictures of pagan deities. In all the idols or statutes, pictures and icons of the ancient Catholic Church, show their earth god Constantine, the infant god Mithra (Jesus) and his mother the earth goddess Mary with the halo over their heads as the sign of the sun god. The sign of the sun or the halo over the head is the first sign of all the sun gods. Now you know the origins of Christmas. Know this truth for certain, the Christ child was not born on the twenty fifth day of December.

Christmas worship of the tree was originally started by the ancient pagan tree worshippers. Also know this; the ancient tree worshippers did not kill the trees to worship them. The same ancient pagan tree worshippers would be horrified to see what some modern “Christians” do by killing millions of young trees each year; “Because Jesus was born.”

As the ancient pagans were converted to Catholicism, they refused to give up their day of merrymaking, worshipping and giving glory and honor to the trees. While trying to pacify this large group of people, in their false worship to the trees and the sun god Mithras, the Catholic Church begins to allow the pagans to keep this pagan holy day of tree worship and worship to the sun god Mithras. The Catholic Church made a lie by calling this day: “The day that Jesus was born.”

The modern pagan ritual of killing and decorating the tree for “The birthday of Jesus” and “Old Santa Clause” permeates close to the elect of the Ekklesia or the kingdom that belongs to Christ.“

God gives the trees to mankind or to all living creatures, to glorify the earth and to comfort the needs of all living on earth. The lowly tree is not a god as the ancient pagans thought, but the tree, in some respects, is created like man, a beautifully created entity. The humble tree is a passive living thing. In the Bible record, God creates the tree, before he creates man (Gen. 1). God gave the man the responsibility to care, beautify and dress the lowly trees (Gen. 2:15).

What a travesty of injustice for the unfortunate Christmas tree, to die because Jesus was born. Know this for certain, God did not create the living tree to be killed as a sacrifice because Jesus was born. Think about that!

What does Jesus think about people killing trees and decorating them in his remembrance, because he was born into the world? Think about that!

The Bible record does not tell us what day of the year that the infant Jesus was born. God did not want us to know or to celebrate the infant birthday of Jesus. The Bible record does tell us the exact supper time moment and exact day when Jesus was reborn or the exact moment of his resurrected rebirth into the habitable world. According to the Greek record, the resurrection rebirth moment of Jesus, in on the night of day one of the Sabbaton, just after sunset at early dark of our modern Saturday night. The beginning night of day One, is the correct set Passover supper time of God to celebrate God’s Passover salvation to the whole Christian world.
Jesus did not resurrect on any part of the pagan first day of the week of the seven sky gods or on any part of Sunday.

The Bible records show, that Jesus fathers again the dead spirits of all Christians at supper time, through the power of the resurrection moment of Jesus (Rom. 4:25; 1Cor. 4:25; 1Peter. 1:3). Jesus was reborn or had a rebirth at supper time on the beginning night of day one of the Sabbaton (the seven day cycle) passing over all sins through his resurrection (Heb. 1:1-7). The spirits of all Christians are saved or all Christians are fathered again through their immersion in water, by the power of the resurrection moment of Jesus, at supper time on the Bible Day One of the sevens of God 1Pet. 3:21.

We as Christians are only authorized to celebrate at supper time, the resurrection rebirth moment of Jesus. Jesus was the FIRST FRUITS or the first born from the dead (Col. 1:18). The re-birthday of Jesus, was at supper time, at early dark on the beginning night of God’s Bible day He names Day One of the sabbaton. The rebirth moment of Jesus, is the true day and true time of day for all Christians to celebrate the resurrection rebirth moment of Jesus. Supper time, each night at the beginning of the first day of the repetition of the first seven days of creation (at sun set on our modern Saturday night), is the true rebirth moment of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.

The awesome supper time moment when God fathers Jesus again from the dead, is at the beginning of God’s day “One. This awesome moment should mark the greatest event of God in the lives of all true Christians. Jesus commands us to keep a Passover memorial of His life, body and blood with reference to his resurrection rebirth moment on God’s day “One of The Sevens of God” (at early dark on our modern Saturday night) (See Judaic Greek of Luke. 22:19; John. 20:19; Acts. 2:1, 13:42, 20:7). This moment of spiritual rebirth, is the greatest set time event of our rebirth or our spirits being fathered again into Christ. The resurrection is the power of the awesome moment when Christians are fathered or through their immersion in water their spirits are “Fathered again” or they given spiritual rebirth, again through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. The resurrection moment of Jesus gives all Christians hope of rebirth from spiritual death to all who would be like Christ.

He is not here he has risen come and see where he lay.


The resurrection of the first born Jesus from the dead was on the cycle of the same awesome supper time moment when God creates the universe at evening or supper time. The rebirth moment of Jesus was on a cycle of the same supper time moment of the new moon, when all Israel was immersed in water and saved by God at supper time in the sea and in the cloud and in a awesome miracle of resurrection for the dead, God delivers all believers from their bondage to sin (Rom. 10:1-3; Ex. 14).

The rebirth moment of Jesus was at supper time and coincides with the exact repetition of the beginning of the first day of the seven days of creation, called Pentecost, it is the same supper time moment that the kingdom of heaven or the ekklesia if Jesus the church or congregation that belongs to Christ was established (at sunset or early dark our modern Saturday night) (see Greek of Mat. 28:1-3; Acts 2:1-2).

There are many other awesome set supper time miracles of God, that coincide with the death burial and rebirth moment of Jesus at supper time of Day One of the Sabbaton.

1) The same moment that God spoke the universe into existence and the beginning of the first whole dark period, parallels the resurrection or the same rebirth moment of the resurrection of Jesus.

2) The same moment that God starts to immerse and save all Israel and deliver them across the sea of reeds (red Sea) parallels the resurrection moment of Jesus.

3) Every beginning moment of Pentecost begins at the resurrection moment of Jesus.

4) The same beginning dark moment the Jesus is entombed at the Greek epiphosko, after three whole nights or dark periods and after three whole days or light periods at the same Greek epiphosko or at the time of lamp lighting is the exact moment that Jesus resurrects from out of hell.

These awesome supper time miracles make the gospel of God in the Bible, the most powerful witness to make believers in God, the good news from God that is written in the Bible.

In a deep study pf Bible times from the original languages of the Bible, we learn that Jesus did resurrect at supper time on the 18th day of the new or dark moon Abib that is the first new moon nearest the Vernal Equinox (March. 21). It was about the seventh day of April in the year of A.D. 30. (The resurrection day is near, but not on the same day of Easter Sunday.) Why do Christians not celebrate that true New Moon birthday or rebirth-day of Jesus instead of a false birthday of Christmas?

Some may scoff at such fundamental thinking, but what would Jesus say? As long as false traditions are being kept by those who think they are Disciples of Christ, they stifle the truth, by keeping their false man made traditions. The truth and the true traditions (the handing down from) God, people cannot understand or accept, when other people keep the false tradition of Christmas. If the true traditions of God are not understood by the Disciples of Christ or the world, lost is Gods’ power through His gospel to convince the most doubtful that Jesus is the son of God. Think about that.

Be honest do not fool self. Do you call yourself a true “Christian?” Do you kill a tree and celebrate the birth of a son of god who was born out of mother earth goddess named Mary on the 25^th day of December. Is your Jesus and the pagan god Mithras the same god? Could you answer these questions if your eternal life depends on the answer? Does it appear to others that you as a disciple of Christ, participate in tree sacrifice because the Jesus you love was born on the twenty fifth day of December? Will you kill, or have killed, a living tree this coming “Christmas,” because the earth god named Jesus you love was born on the twenty fifth day of December?

What excuses will you make to God for killing a tree and celebrating Christmas, because the Jesus you love was born out of mother earth Mary or a rock on Christmas day? Some are complaining that we should not take Jesus out of Christmas. Know this for certain, Jesus was never –in any part of "Christmas" in the first place. Think seriously about this truth and stop suppressing truth by celebrating Christmas.!

Sincerely, in the love of truth and our creator God.
