Just wondering how many "Christians" out there celebrate the 31st of this month.
Maybe, we should post a copy of Luther's 95 Theses on our front door...?though we have never done anything for it...
Kind of tough to answer - it's a kid's "holiday". What does "celebrate" mean in this case? I don't attend any religious service. I may or may not attend a Halloween party of some sort - is that "celebrating"?Just wondering how many "Christians" out there celebrate the 31st of this month.
Now, do any of you know who Anton Lavey is/was? He founded the Satanist church and he was glad that Christians celebrate that day once a year.
For its true meaning is not of light. At his point of death he made known how he regretted doing the enemies work but it was done.
Now tell me I am wrong for believing the Living Word of The Living God.
Just curious, do you observe the days of the week? Monday = Moon Day, observance of the moon; Thursday = Thor's day, the day of a Norse deity (false god)...Just wondering how many "Christians" out there celebrate the 31st of this month.

We can really extrapolate out a lot of pagan/non-Christian references in a lot of things. January is the month of Janus, the Roman god, for example - is someone going against his or her Christianity because they observe the first month of the year as "January"??? How about Christians who celebrate Easter by that name "Easter" which is also after a Germanic goddess? The actual Christian name for "Easter" is Pascha, which means Passover, because it is the Christian passover where the paschal lamb is Christ. But despite that, I have no problem that people use "Easter" - let no man despise you in observance of days, etc. We can get carried away by parsing out every silly detail that has no nefarious meaning anymore.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. ~Hebrews 13:8~ I would not try and change what the LORD has said. The WORD of THE LORD endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.~1 Peter 1:25~ Just because times have changed does not mean our faith should. And wow you know so much. I would thank God for that insight/knowledge. Yes we are blinded into soo much but what we can choose willingly to abstain from, why not do it to honor THE ONE TRUE GOD. It does not cost a thing and yet could cost eternity if we hold to them for vain reasons. Their are biblical celebrations we can easily choose to replace the pegan ones. Saying the names is one thing but actually carrying on the rituals is another.Just curious, do you observe the days of the week?

And as far as things having nefarious meaning anymore, many do for the enemy of our souls does not sleep and he uses the same tired tactics. There is nothing new under the sun. We just need not worship the gods that are recently worshipped until this day. Its simple why make it complicated. And as far as the rituals are concerned they are not nefarious. In fact they are multifarious.Just curious, do you observe the days of the week? Monday = Moon Day, observance of the moon; Thursday = Thor's day, the day of a Norse deity (false god)...

We use the term Resurrection Day. We incorporate the story of Rahab and her red cord as a type for the first Gentile Passover that (no pun intended) ties back to the Hebrew one.The actual Christian name for "Easter" is Pascha, which means Passover, because it is the Christian passover where the paschal lamb is Christ.
Feel free to do your research like I mentioned. Listen to the testimonies of those I mentioned. There is a great spiritual reality behind it. Even the jack o lantern. its just simple, why take a chance of inviting the dark spiritual things that are not needed. I am not here to debate or argue or anything of the sort. not everyone wants to know. or cares to know for that matter. the information is all there for those who want it.Is dressing up like Batman and asking neighbors for candy a ritual? That seems pretty anemic as far as rituals go. What, exactly, is the spiritual significance?
