So
Why would you assume that glorifies God?
A tidy yard is merely typical suburbia.
A person's heart can not be discerned by looking at their yard.
You never use the word looks when asking about my yard. You asked how is my yard glorifying to God and I have told you.

Nothing in their decorations is glorifying to God whatsoever. My judgment is just.
Stick to your Righteous Judgments, Snack.s I believe in you and the proper Judgments that you make.

If people understood the reality of God and the real presence of Evil Spirits, this demonic display would be repulsed upon by the original installer of such "equipment." But today's modern-day "christian" is totally clueless. Totally. There is virtually no genuine Fear of the Lord coming from fake "christians."

What about you yard? Is it glorifying to God? What about it glorifies God?
Or is this some hypocrisy?
I'm 100% certain that Snacks doesn't celebrate the dead, as you are suggesting that we do. Ridiculous. Good luck to you when you meet our Powerful, Almighty God.

The more stupidity I read in this thread the more powerful your words are for sure.
It isn't easy being a member of "christian" forums, is it? "Christians" at forums are amongst the rudest people I've ever held discussion with. I fear for every new Christian that finds their way to forums such as this one. The vast majority of posts are utterly false . . . laced with that ignorance that only the Sinful Nature could produce. Most are not saved . . . thus it is critical to remember that as well as shed patience and understanding upon these . . . people.

Clearly, you are here to cause division. This kind of activity is not birthed by God, but by the Devil. If this is how you want to be know . . . suit yourself.

Sure... Play pretend with fantasy is the real evil in this world......meh.
May the Lord heal your heart soon so that you might Spiritually see, hear, and walk with the Lord.

John 9:39-41 NKJV - "And Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind." Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, "Are we blind also?" Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains."

It is s waste of time. To attempt to have a balanced conversation with someone who remains under the Curse of the Lord is utterly futile. People who remain Cursed are Cursed into confusion, thus Spiritually matters will never be properly understood.

I hate to be the weird one here...
I'm new here(I believe you know that already).
I believe that we all are God's Children.
We are all supposed to have a particular mindset as regards things like this...

So why the arguments??

Why such division?

Unfortunately, the arguments exist because not all are Children of God. Just as the Pharisees, Sadducees, and teachers of the Law thought that they were True, Right, and accurate regarding the Word of God, they were completely blind to the Truth. God Himself placed them into a "deep sleep" so that they could not understand regardless of how hard they tried.

The point of the Bible, which is also the Purpose of Christ, is to Redeem us from the Curse of the Lord so that we can be Righteous, Holy, Blameless and Pure as our Father of Faith, Abraham. No one can be like Abraham unless they receive the same Spiritual Circumcision that he received. Again, this is the "Heart" of the Bible . . . which revolves around the condition of our "heart."

I agree with what you are saying.
I'm just really sad that christians don't agree on most things.

It's sad.

I also want to point out something to you.
If you look through the life of Jesus, you will notice that Jesus never condemned anyone, not matter how filthy they where.

The Bible says blessed are the peace makers for they shall be called the children of God.

Your response and reaction to something that seems wrong is the key to either winning that person over or driving them away.
I'm not going to go beyond this.


It was nice having this conversation with you by the way☺️

And I also appreciate our exchange.

I would say, however, that a person being won over is not the work of humans, but it is the Work of God, for it is He who brings all things in proper order.

Ephesians 1:11 NLT - "Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan."

Because the Lord has an Eternal Plan and because He is in total control, I don't worry about things as I once did.

Oh, by the way . . . Jesus did plenty of name-calling in the Bible, and even gives the prediction that He will, in fact, be condemning many, many people, if indeed they are "people."

Matthew 7:22-23 NLT - "On judgment day many will say to me, 'Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's laws."

How have I suggested that you or anyone else does anything. That is a false accusation.

And abuse of scripture... Wow.

Funny thing is, I like Dirtman. Until this thread I thought he was above the fray. I believe he’s a good brother in Christ but this Halloween stuff is just something we disagree on.

Its ok to disagree.
My real concern here is that christians get caught up in trivial stuff while real threatening things are happening.
There is real evil happening, real witchcraft and paganism promoted in the zeitgeist; in schools and colleges and in social media and tv and books.
For example Joe Rogan promotes spiritual use of hallucinogenic drugs. Religious use of a certain hallucinogenic has been approved in Canada. This is real danger. No one is going to look at that yard and be actually lead into witch craft. But we have actual real threats.

It’s not either/or, it’s both. The scenarios you share as well as the magnitude that someone is celebrating a pagan holiday is concerning.
