Should Christians participate in Hallowe'en

[Guest Kandi]

This is a good read about the origins of Hallowe'en. As far as I can tell, it is not all ghouls, and witches, and evil spirits, and such. I have yet to come across anything in life that has absolutely no good in it at all. Just IMHO

Nah! I think I'll pass. You'll just be quoting out of the bible and I have been quoted to death. Thank you anyway.

Well quoting from the Bible is great so long as it applies!

[Guest Kandi]

Nah, the quotes are too easy

I like to use my mind, my brain and if you try hard enough, you will find something good about everything, but you have to work really hard at it. Looking in the web for what you want is too easy.

"I like to use my mind, my brain and if you try hard enough, you will find something good about everything, but you have to work really hard at it. Looking in the web for what you want is too easy."

What would be good about murder, stealing, adultery etc.

Paul said in Romans 7 that no good thing dwelleth in his flesh. Was he lying? Did he just not look hard enough? Or could it be that some things are in reality evil and not good?

Rom 7:18

We are not supposed to looking hard to find things that are good as far as we are concerned. we are supposed to be looking for things that are pleasing the the Father. We, as christians are not supposed to do things that are traditional or to please the kids or the neighbours or because it's the in thing or because it's fun or because everyone else does it. I, for one, cant find anything good in Halloween no matter how I look. But if some christian parents think that dressing their children as witches and devils and sending round the neighbourhood and begging for lollies, is pleasing to the Father, then they are missing something from their bible studies. I realise that I do some stuff sometimes that isn't pleasing to the Father, but at least when I do, it's usually unintentional and I always repent of it and ask forgiveness for it. I dont deliberately flaunt it in His face and think it goes unnoticed.

Hey it's your life and your soul you are putting on the line. This is not directed at you personally, Kandi, but to all that think God doesn't make note of things that are not in His teachings and not pleasing to Him.

cheers.
