Halloween Tracts

[Guest leejosepho]

Levi:

Yes, certainly we are to witness to pagans, and yes, one or more of us (but not necessarily all) must at times go to where they are in order to do that.  But the question here is this:

Should one participate in pagan ritual in order to allegedly witness to pagans?

Did you not understand that, or were you intentionally trying to confuse things with rhetoric?

...

TJ:

With contemporary uses and definitions of these terms in mind:

Can you show us "changed lives" or "lives impacted for Christ" in / from Scripture?

If you look closely, you will discover those are merely slogans used to sell religion, morality, philosophical comfort, and possibly tracts ... as in / for "reaching the 'unchurched'", and/or "churching" (religionizing) people.

Please do not misunderstand: Tracts and morality have their places.  But for the typical, Western Christian, they have in many cases become but convenient hide-behinds.

Blessings!

I see nothing wrong with handing out tracts instead of candy at Holloween.  I also see nthing wrong with preaching the Gospel at Holloween.  After all, you get a kid saved and the next year there will be one less trick or treater!

Even Paul said that he was all things to all people that the gospel of Christ could be preached.

To All:

I have said this before but, it bears repeating:

Jesus said He would build a Church which the "Gates of hell would NOT prevail against."  Gates are stationary devices meant to keep persons out of the "gate protected territory".  He wasn't saying He was building a Church that would be able to stand when hell or satan came against it, He was saying His Church would be on the move into satan's territory taken back what rightfully belongs to God.  So long as we do not participate in the "rituals" of the paganism associated with the Holidays (this includes Easter and Christmas) but rather, give all credit and glory to Jesus Christ always and on these days, what wrong are we doing in the eyes of God??  ABSOLUTELY NONE!  Some would be legalistic and claim if you acknowledge the days at all even by handing out tracks, spreading the Gospel, etc... you are still celebrating satan.  That is a lie of fear and satan loves it!  If he can prevent the Gospel and the Church from doing the work of Christ by claiming the day or certain days, he wins on those days.  God made all including the days, weeks, months and, years.

satan is just a thief and continues to try to rob the days or at least certain ones for himself just the same as he attempts to steal everything else from God and us.  If you are worshipping cultic demonic celebrations and are a Christian, shame on you but, if you are doing the Lord's work and celebrating Him daily and even on those days like Halloween reaching out to the children, God Bless you and you go girl/boy!  The devil wants the young.  Take them back with words or tracts or both!

God Bless.

To all Christian debaters here on WorthyBoards:

Peace and Joy ... in spite of yourselves!

It amazes me so many Christians have ears full of bananas and cannot hear simple words.

TJ:

You have in typical Christian fashion sarcastically asked, "Did it hurt when you fell on your head?"

To all Christian debaters here on WorthyBoards:

Peace and Joy ... in spite of yourselves!

It amazes me so many Christians have ears full of bananas and cannot hear simple words. So, one more time:

1) Nobody has said tracts should never be handed out;

2) Nobody has said "no tracts" handed out on Halloween;

3) Nobody has said "no witness" to others on pagan holidays.

Are any of you hard-heads listening to what IS being said

Truly, I sometimes wonder if you can hear anything at all!?

Blessings anyway ...

Your response/reaction is quite typical of many Christians:

Can't handle what is said?  Attack!
