What holidays do you think should be forbidden for a Christian to participate in?

[ThisIsMe123]

It’s not what I say, it’s what God’s Word says.

Of course it's what you are saying, you're posting it here. You're just interpreting it incorrectly. Twisting the word of God actually.

 

[ThisIsMe123]

Anyways, I'm done here, as there are some posters that don't know what they are talking about and giving a twisted view of their interpretation of the Bible.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

Of course I did. Why even question my faith?

Well, I do not subscribe to your words here. I am merely trying to understand how you think that fantasizing about sinful things that God hates like reading Harry Potter books or dressing up as a witch is something Jesus would want you to do as a part of your faith in following Him. When did Jesus ever promote witchcraft or say that fantasizing about sinful things was okay? On the contrary, Jesus taught that sinful thoughts are just as condemning as the physical act (See again Matthew 5:27-30).

Please show us where he twisted Scripture.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

There's a difference between those wack jobs (no offense), and those that simply go trick or treating once a year that aren't even wiccans nor practice it either.

No. Revelation 21:8 still condemns sorcery within the New Testament. So are you saying that God is condemning something that does not exist?

Please show us where he twisted Scripture.

I interpret scripture at face value unless it indicates otherwise like a parable.

2Pe 1:20 - knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation

How do you know yours isn’t a private interpretation?

How do you ensure your presuppositions aren’t clouding your interpretations?

 

[Trumpeter2]

How do you ensure your presuppositions aren’t clouding your interpretations?

As I told you I interpret at face value, hence no interpretation, what it says is what it is, so I don’t have to worry about presuppositions.

Yeah. Okay.

Y'all are still on this? I'm thinking someone needs to dress up as the Energizer Bunny.

This is utter insanity of some that is try to make a Holy Day out of a Pagan Holiday. Trying to share a wican/pagan holiday with them with your own version of it is crazy.

HALLOWEEN DID NOT ORIGINATE FROM ALL SAINTS DAY, which was much later in the calendar in the 1500's, the Pagan Celtic Festival was occurring way before it.

Encyclopaedia Britannica,
In ancient Britain and Ireland, the Celtic Festival of Samhain was observed on October 31, at the end of summer…. The souls of the dead were supposed to revisit their homes on this day and the autumnal festival acquired sinister significance, with ghosts, witches, goblins, black cats, fairies and demons of all kinds said to be roaming about. It was the time to placate the supernatural powers controlling the processes of nature. In addition, Halloween was thought to be the most favorable time for divinations concerning marriage, luck, health, and death. It was the only day on which the help of the devil was invoked for such purposes.

The insanity is trying to make some Christians lesser if the take their kids trick or treating.

Its still partaking in a rebadged with some modification pagan holiday, just buy them some candy. Might as well take em to a gay pride parade too and say to just enjoy the decorations and floats and ignore everything else, as it is the same thing that is pretty much being done with Halloween.

So what message are you trying to convey by posting this verse?

 

[Phil 1:21]

Jhn 10:27 -

“My sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me.

"For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:2

 

[Bible Highlighter]

To all:

Romans 12:2 says,
"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

How is partaking in Halloween not being conformed to this world?
Is not Halloween a thing of this world invented by men?
Does not Halloween display sinful things?
Common sense says we are not to imitate darkness or partake in what the world does that is appears to be dark and sinful.

Romans 12:2 says prove what is good, and acceptable and perfect will of God is.
Is it the will of God for you to celebrate things God hates?
I would say not.
