So do we go through this same discussion ever Halloween? Lol
And Christmas and Easter. About 6 months out of the year is spent with people arguing about 3 holidays.

you are not avoiding Halloween..you are choosing to do a different activity on Halloween...that in no way means u are avoiding it. Avoiding it would be treating it like any other day. What you are doing is just another example of how Christians take things that they consider "worldly", put their stamp of Christianity on it and now suddenly it's okay.
Alright, if you say so.

You seem awfully eager to point fingers and judge.
He clearly states that he is leaving his home so that he can avoid dealing with trick or treaters, and going to his church for dinner and fellowship instead. Why are you so adamant about twisting that into something bad?
And u accuse me of judging? Nice.

i was trying to point out that his choosing to do something else on Halloween, instead of partaking in the traditional trick or treating, doesn't mean he is avoiding it, it just means he is starting his own tradition , if u will on Halloween night. Not saying what he is doing is wrong or bad...but it's pretty much the same thing.

Then i hope you don't wear a wedding ring. And did not have a traditional type modern wedding. Both of those have pagan roots. So, if you're wearing a wedding ring you are putting your stamp of Christianity on something pagan and suddenly it's ok.
But let me guess. That's different.
Do you use the normal names for the days of the week? Saturday, Sunday, Monday, etc..? Uh oh. They're named after pagan gods. So if you do, there you go again, putting your stamp on it and saying it's ok.

The best solution is not taking sides.:) Just blow bubbles and forget it.

Your rabid insistence on being right and trying to push him into accepting your skewed view of the thing doesn't sound like 'i'm not saying what he is doing is wrong or bad'. Everything about your posts sound condemning and critical and pushy. What's the point of arguing with him on it if you think he's doing nothing wrong?

Now i remember why i avoid these threads. I'm out. You can go back to forcefully 'not' judging.

I don't think condemning people is right. That is their perfect, precious time of when the HOly spirit does, and if he does, it is not our job to condemn people. I celebrate EASTER YAY'LL AND THANKSGIVING, read enough of the cons about that too. It dosn't effect me. 4ced81643aff12e11cc7c0d2fb55525e.jpg

what are you talking about?

I said this is what Christians do when they Condemn days, like Halloween, yet still meet together and pretend it's different than what everyone else is doing. I have no problem with going out trick or treating on Halloween. Might even dress up like a zombie for fun. It's like saying " i love heavy metal music but I'll only listen to christian metal cause everything else is from the devil". It's ridiculous.
I also have no problem with the days of the week, daylight savings time, or wedding rings. For the record.

Be careful where you tread with this...

2Sa 6:6 And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
2Sa 6:7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

Uzzah's intent was not evil, he still died.
This was a CLEAR statement: And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying . . . And when Aaron and his sons have made an en of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary as the camp is to set forward; after that the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation. Numbers 4:1,15 So when Uzzah put forth his hand and took hold of it . . . the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah. God made a proclamation concerning touching any holy thing - Uzzah touched it therefore God had to honor what was said previously.

I am not under OT law and that was a law for Israel. How come no one understands the different administrations? I can go in any church today and touch the altar, the baptismal and I am not struck down.

If you think kids dressing up and getting candy is against God - don't do it. Simple as that.

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Rom. 14:5

And it I know something is evil and don't warn others...

Eze 3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Eze 3:19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

So, I guess I have said enough, do what you will with the information.
