In this teaching, we take an academic and theological examination of dendrolatry—the worship of trees, the veneration of trees, or the treatment of trees as sacred—and its place within the broader context of Scripture and history. This presentation will explore how ancient cultures practiced dendrolatry, how the prophets spoke against it, and how remnants of these practices can still be observed in modern traditions. This video delves into the historical and cultural veneration of trees, tracing its roots from ancient pagan practices to its manifestations in various spiritual traditions. This teaching invites viewers to consider the spiritual consequences of syncretism and to pursue a deeper understanding of purity in worship according to the Word. So join us as we consider the biblical response to dendrolatry and reaffirm the call to pure devotion to Yahweh alone. Come along with us, and learn the God Honest Truth about dendrolatry. #Dendrolatry #Asherim #TreeWorship #Christmas #Christmas2025 #Idolatry #Messianic #ChristianTeaching #Yahweh #Yeshua #Theology #GodHonestTruth #ScriptureStudy #ChristianApologetics #TorahStudy Video Chapters: 00:00 Teaching Introduction 01:21 Teaching Trailmap 03:42 Dendrolatry Defined 09:05 Dendrolatry Down the Decades 22:07 Scripture Regarding Dendrolatry 36:03 Possible Push-Backs 47:46 Christmas Trees: Thought Experiment 1:01:28 Summary Article Post: https://godhonesttruth.com/wp/2025/08/29/oh-christmas-tree-and-dendrolatry-christmas-in-detail-01-live-stream-08-29-2025/ God Honest Truth is a Messianic Ministry based in Western North Carolina. Our goal is to teach the truths of Yahweh’s word to anyone seeking to further their education and walk in faith. We believe in the inerrancy of scripture and that scripture alone, not any church decree or any word of man, can define what is and is not salvation. We will always strive to do Biblical things in Biblical ways instead of allowing the traditions of men to get in the way of scripture. https://www.GodHonestTruth.com [email protected] Donations: Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/GodHonestTruth Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/godhonesttruth Social Media Links: https://godhonesttruth.com/wp/connect-socially/ Music: TheFatRat - Kingdom Come Watch the official music video: https://tinyurl.com/tfrkingdomcome Listen to Kingdom Come: https://thefatrat.ffm.to/warriorsongs Follow TheFatRat: https://ffm.bio/thefatrat ###################################### Disclaimer ###################################### The information and content in this content is for documentary, educational, and entertainment purposes only.
