Here is a quote that I find interesting. http://inventors.about.com/od/sstartinventions/a/Samhain.htm Right they honored the (good) dead and fended off evil spirits... The Church enlightened these people and brought Christianity to the Celtic tribes. They totally refocused the day on trusting in the One, True, God. Evil vanquished.... it's a day for celebration, not condemnation. Edited October 28, 2016 by Teditis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the Church took the next two following days to venerate Saints or people that were solid Christians throughout history. Job 14:4 Quote 4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

I don't think he would used things the devil used to glorify himself to get the glory he deserves. Notice how God was upset with the children of Israel for using a custom(worshiping calves) that was in Egypt and trying to "Christianize it in Exodus 32. Quote And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the Lord. 6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. 7 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: 8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 9 And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephesians 5:11 "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." You cannot dress up a dog or pig to look like a holy saint. It is still a dog or pig. Galatians 5:16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 1 thes 5:5 5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Saints go out in the day to spread the good news! Did Jesus ever do ministry at night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember them from years ago but it looks like they downsized to the very basics on my end. In the little smile face button. There is a search box at the bottom. Most of the stuff I I type in is not there. But if you type in one letter, you get all the emos that start with that letter. In my case I started to type in pumpkin and got as far as the letters p-u-m, and the pumpkin icon pop up. I thought that would do so I used it.

The same can be said for Christmas and Easter. Both holidays that pagans celebrated then changed into Christian holidays by the Catholic Church because they could not stop people from celebrating them. That's the short version of the story. I watch The History Channel. I will talk more later on this topic and I hope I do not hurt anyone's feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
