You guys are going to give me nightmares lol.
Well is God going to send you to hell if you dressed up like a witch or Captain Jack Sparrow and parade around with others who are dressed up as well on a day that people mostly kids though go through neighborhoods and ask for unhealthy food?
Or will God not care because he know what's in your heart?
This thread has been MOST interesting, 'specially re: "darkness" and what it is exactly.....there IS spiritual warfare raging, and it is intense and deadly, and much is of the enemy's wiles are "hidden" in murkiness and deceptions, and may even convince many that it's "harmless" cuz it's behind a "mask" of sorts. It's downright dangerous to be naive about the workings of the enemy and to be oblivious that his aim is to steal hearts, minds, and souls and destroy them as they are oblivious to it.

for instance, this is considered "cool" by millions:
Know what it is?
Symbolism is chock-full of meaning in the spiritual world. Much of it is considered "cool", artistic "expression" and grabbed right up and adopted by minions, who wanna be "cool" too (including young pre-teens and teens)
I am quite familiar with that hand signal and yes it is signaling devil's horns...have seen that in many places, where that has been discussed. However, in sign language, if you put your thumb out, it is the sign for "I love you" so if I catch myself doing the "rock" sign, I will put my thumb out to combat it lol
No I'm pretty sure God would not send you to hell for that. Even if it's a sin, we sin, we don't know when we sin if we will die before repenting of the sin but he won't keep us out of hell because we died with an unrepented sin on our records. So I think even if doing so was a sin, and we died, we wouldn't go to hell for it.
And I don't think that God wouldn't care...I think he would...but whether it's a morally or spiritually important thing to focus on, I don't know. I think we are to be very wary of the devil and his deceitful ways...we're told many times to do that. Remember it says he is like a lion, seeking those who he may devour...and he wants us most of all, even more than he wants unbelievers, because we are God's children...thankfully, God is bigger than him. But if we lend ourselves to some of the things that promote ungodliness, that gives the devil more power over us, in a way. Some would say "only if you choose for it to" but I say, the devil is deceitful...so it may not even be a conscious choice on our part.
That's going a bit deep, I realize, but I'm just talking through my thought process. I do hand out candy to kids on halloween...I don't agree with halloween but I do hand out candy...the reason? they're just kids. And if I can be a nice lady in a pretty bad neighborhood, then that could lead to more opportunities. Now I don't know anyone here in the neighborhood...being Vermont, it's a pretty closed up state, everyone minds their own business...I have attempted to get to know some, but they're not interested. So any time when I have the opportunity for someone to come to my door, I'll welcome it, especially if it's kids.

Thanks RYAI realize what your intent was...I probably should have worded it slightly different so I didn't sound like I was personalizing it
Brinny, how do you find so many of these images?
Then that begs the question, why do people wear black for death or mourning?
