There is no evidence and that came from the Oxford Dictionary of English Folklore. It was a group of scholars and researchers who wrote this dictionary, so I would tend to take their word more. There is no such thing as a god or goddess named "Halloween" or even "Hallow's Eve." If you look up...

Halloween means "Hallow's Eve", which means "evening." Halloween is typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain (whose original spelling was Samiun). The name of the festival historically kept by the Gaels and the Celts in the British Isles is derived from an old Irish and means...

It's not an excuse. Why should I fear the Devil? Why should I judge those who decided to make fun of the Devil because that's exactly how I see Halloween. The Devil is not happy when people mock and make fun of him, which is what Halloween is about. The Devil would be more happy if people...

Christ was the Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world. By taking away our sins, it means that He took it completely away and not just covered it up with His righteous. If He only covered our sins, then that means our sins still remain. Also, when God forgives our sins, it means just...

Could you be more specific in what you think is ridiculous rather just saying one word?

And what makes you more of an expert than Strong's concordance? Why should we believe you and not Strong's concordance?

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with Halloween. I see it as "mocking" and "making fun" of the devil. Afterall, Jesus Christ already conquered death, so why should we be afraid of death or even of Satan. He no longer has any hold over us. We can dress up and make fun of him. That's a...

The four Gospels include Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each Gospel spoke about Jesus Christ and portrayed him in different ways. The Apostle Matthew wrote his gospel to the Jewish people. It is speculated that the Gospel of Matthew was originally written in Hebrew and later translated into...

How sad that they are separating themselves from the rest of the British citizens. It's too bad that you can't ship them back to where they originally came from. I would recommend that your country also do not give in to their demands.

I think that God's message to mankind is written perfectly in the Holy Bible. The Holy Spirit is infallible and He uses fallible men to write down His message infallibly. However, to interpret Scripture accurately, one would need the same Holy Spirit that inspired the sacred author to write...

The writers were inspired by the Holy Spirit, but that does not mean that the Holy Spirit stole their human knowledge. These writers lived thousands of years before Christ was born. They were ancient people who know very little about their world. When Christopher Columbus wrote in his journal...

You would find most flood myths in cultures along coastal areas. Interestingly, my island does not have any flood myth, but one of the outer islands in the Pacific do.

First of all, the Bible is not meant to be taken nor read as a science textbook. God is not interested in teaching us about science. He is interested in our salvation. The Holy Bible is the inspired word of God and was written for mankind's salvation. The six day creation has nothing to do...

All truths is God's truth. There are some things discovered in science that have already proven to be true, which is the reason we are able to build airplanes, buildings, submarines, etc. All these things built by man are truths in nature planted by God so that man can discover them on his...

Hi Aspen, My island is under tropical storm right now. There's a tropical storm in our area, but it's not going to hit us. The storm is passing close to us, so we've been getting a lot of wind and rain. We've also been getting a lot of thunder and lightning. By tomorrow, the tropical storm...

I agree. It was not a literal flood. It was actually a local flood. There is archaeological evidence showing a Great Flood in Mesopotamia. The sacred author who wrote about the flood witnessed a huge local flood. In his eyes, this local flood appeared as though it was the entire world that...

St. Paul says that circumcision of the flesh is not needed. St. Paul was the one who linked baptism with circumcision. What he called "circumcision of Christ" is baptism. Colossians 2:11-12 In whom also you are circumcised with circumcision not made by hand, in despoiling of the body of the...

In the New Testament, baptism has replaced circumcision. In the old Testament, God used circumcision as a sign to show that those circumcised are to be His chosen people. In the New Testament, the new sign showing that we are the sons and daughters of God (His family) is through baptism. When...

That's interesting. My grandmother was a Third Order Francisican.

Hello St. Columcille, The retreat was great. I had another retreat at the Monastary of the Carmelite Nuns recently. It was an interesting experience.
