Comment on Is Halloween A Celebration of Evil? by Jamie

I believe the origins of Halloween are indeed evil (scarifing for false gods and worshipping false gods… and thinking leaving food out for spirits will help you get rid of them) you just been lied too and I believe. The word of God is evidence to that… and saying you have to actively be praticing in it to make it wrong is not true. Ex: your friend is stealing and he asks you just to be a look out?? or you see it happening and you don’t say anything?? well your not actively particing or practicpating but you are involved. I may not know the bible front to back and no… I’m not perfect… but I do know my God, and I do know when He is speaking to me about certain areas in my life that need change. Even though I do agree that dressing up like clowns and princesses and receiving candy is not a sin. But exposing a child/person to it may leave an open door to confusion. Myself being a mother I would prefer not to be reponsonable for bring confusion to my child… let’s face it we only dress up cute and cuddly in the begin when we are about 1-5 yrs old, because this world has convenienced us after a certain age being innocent isn’t appealing… now a days we see teenagers and adults dressing up in horrifing customes or very skimpy outfits… and if you don’t believe me that’s fine… Read the Bible (the living word of God) and believe God, then turn on your TV and really start watching some of this shows that influence our lives on a day to day basis. (I’m not saying every single person dresses skimpy and super scary, and that every show is the devil. I’m going based on what I know)… And since I have chosen to follow Christ my eyes have been open to a lot of disturbing things in this world and things that I myself use to do. It’s really creepy how we supposably love to be “scared”(I use to be that person)and then wonder why we have nightmares and some of us can’t sleep at night and feel like we are being watched. We love to be scared and it’s fun right? but when some really happens then what? It isn’t fun anymore. Halloween opens doors that shouldn’t be open, the devil is known as a deceiver and manipulator well because that’s really all the power he has… until you start believing his lies… And please I want people to understand that Christians aren’t perfect… God is the true definition of perfection… Christians should always show love and encourage and help those who are lost in darkness to see the light… The light being Jesus Christ. The only difference between Christians and the world is that we acknowledge we have a need for a savior, some one to hold us up when we can’t, someone to guide when we don’t know which way to go. We depend on Jesus at all times!! or at least we should… Even the bible says that we all fall short of his glory!!! That is why we need to confide in the Lord to pick us up where we fall short. Halloween is just another skim the devil uses to confuse people. And though yes it may not seem evil to the untrained eye, but the devil knows this world better then you think, this is his domain… so he knows exactly how to fool you and he is not going to do it in a obivious way… he’ll do it in the most subtle way, and if you don’t believe me look at the world and read the newspapers and turn on the news and take a look at the world not just yours… but the whole world!! Everyone has their own temptations and their one doors that they must keep close. For instance, if you are addicated to drugs… and you decided to get right and get cleaned, and you did. Once you get out of that rehad center, your goal is to stay far away from the doors that open that addication. In other words don’t associate yourself with things that will tempt you to go back to it… don’t put yourself in situations you can’t get out of… that is what the bible teaches me, don’t leave doors open to temptation and confusion… at those moments draw near to God…. Keep his word ingraved in your heart and know who He is. Halloween for you may seem like nothing but that is only you out of billions…. you don’t know what the next person is going through and that is why I trust that with time God will open everyones eyes to the truth. God bless you all!!

Jason, I don’t get it. 5+2>5000. I suppose you are referring to loaves of bread and fish feeding 5,000 with food left over.
Elijah is just as amazing not fearing a bunch of heathen priests but fearing one woman then running to hide and living on less than one person could survive per day, for years.
Many of the stories in the Bible sound like Greek and other religion’s myths.

I used to use the bible to try to tell me the answers, but I ended up failing math. It kept telling me 5 + 2 > 5000

Yes, Jason, According to the Bible the Messiah was put in the tomb Wed.about 6 P.M. and came from the tamb exactly 72 hours later. The Jewish secular-religious history figured it that way.
It was the Catholic Church that used Adonis-Tammuz worship of Eze.8 for their Fri.buriel and Sunday sunrise service.
Some preachers such as Dan Schaeffer and others I could mention accept the Bible account encyclopedias.
There are many other things, such as the history of Cyrus that encyclopedias have denied which have had to change since archeologists have found evidence to prove the Bible.
I realize you know the Bible back and forth and are fluent in Latin where I wonder if you studied for Priesthood.

Lying about Halloween? Why not? Christians still tell them to believe that two of every animal crammed into a boat for a world-wide flood. Dead rise from the grave for one day? Of course not, don’t they realize that it takes three days?!

Taking the encyclopedia over the Bible? Of course, only Christians believe the Bible can take the place of actually learning anything.

You’ve not read anything I have actually said about the day, or you would see how incorrect your last sentence is. I don’t love Halloween, I have no opinion of it either way. It’s a commercial day, a ploy for large companies to make money. It is a day that holds no significance to me either way and it is a day I do not believe should hold any more significance than July 24 or April 16 do to most individuals. My statement is that any day of the year is meaningless except for what the person observing it puts into it. A Christian holiday means nothing except to those who apply their own meaning to it, a pagan, Jewish, Islamic or Hindi holiday is no different. Halloween is no different, it’s only evil if people celebrate evil on it. Most individuals who do something do not. I don’t believe it is an inherently evil day, I believe it is a day that holds no true significance unless a person makes it so.

As for being hate-filled, far from it. I only speak the truth, one that some people have a hard time coming to terms with. Christianity is filled with those who are consumed with pride and egotism. Those who are quick to tout their own accomplishments and faith while condemning the actions of others they consider beneath them. Those who have long since abandoned the attitude held by those very individuals they study in the Bible. Someone can do all you want in the world, but an arrogant attitude will render it all meaningless.

The worst part is that many have no idea of their own vice. In fact, they relish in telling others of their piety and refusing to listen to what others have to say because they believe they are purer and holier. You say I don’t know you, and that’s fair, I don’t. Nor do I doubt that you have done many good things for many people in your time. At the same time, you don’t know me or anyone else but have no problems throwing such accusations. That is hypocrisy. I do not hate you, I have no reason to do such. I think life is too short to be consumed by hatred of anyone.

There is no reason to continue this further. Those who are consumed with themselves aren’t capable of recognizing such until they realize it. If you have done all the good you have said you have done, that is very well and good, but it does not give you room to levy accusations at others whom you do not know.
