Seems to me, Buzzfruit, that the question Whiteknuckle asked was more of a "does it matter" one. I agree with that. It shouldn't matter, but since folks want to make it an issue, it should be discussed. I for one, don't believe that Christianity is a white man's religion, or whatever is being...

It's not really an issue with me, other than it was brought up....So I talked about it....

By the way.... Add me to that list. I don't celebrate either. I will remember the resurrection, but not the traditional way of "easter". Any holiday that is named after a pagan goddess is a dead giveaway that something is wrong! But who knows... Maybe Oxford says easter really means "Sunday".

I looked up the word "hallow" in several sources, more specifically, Strong's Greek and hebrew dictionary, the Oxford dictionary, and dictionary.com. I find no connection of the word "hallow" to simply mean "evening". All references lead to "to make holy". So I'd like to know where you got...

Prentis, how are we sanctified, or by what means are we sanctified?

No prob! :)

I'm with you 100% on all those points.... My only purpose was to show that Halloween and All Saints day may have a connection.

What did Paul say about eating meat sacrificed to demons? If I remember correctly, he said it won't harm you unless you think it will. However, did he say you should participate in the ritual? Honestly, can't remember.

I too would be interesting in hearing the reasoning why you are recanting Catholicism.

I have heard that about Simon of Cyrene... He was from Lybia, so it is up for debate.... ANother one may have been Moses second wife. If you go to Numbers 12:1 and on down, we see that Miriam and Aaron (Moses' brother and sister) were upset because Moses married and Ethiopian woman. That...

It seems to me that they are slightly related. If you read the article at history.com (I posted a link earlier and I think someone else did too) you can see how. In short, it was the Catholic Church's attempt to Christianize Halloween (or so it is believed).

I read the letter. I can't really comment because I haven't read to what this athiest is responding to (Ray's Letter). I do believe that Christians should be ready to give an answer of the hope that lies within them, and preachers should do their part with support of their congregation to...

sa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

God created evil too. So it's ok to be evil?

I'm pretty sure everyone realizes that Halloween's roots are in the occult and even Satan worshipping. I just want to know if and when it changed. Is it different now that it's viewed as "fun" for the children? And do you believe its only just for children? It seems many adults with or...

Nope

It isn't the best thread to talk about it. I for one am not defending homosexuality. I know it is a sin. I am not a homosexual either (happily married to a member of the opposite sex, and totally devoted to her). I'm not defending any sin, even my own ones. I'm defending grace: that it...

I realize I'm a bit late on this conversation.... I don't venture over to this board too often. Veteran, I have a few questions and comments for you. I actually do believe in the "Church Ages" theory, though I assume that there are different takes on it that I wouldn't agree with totally...

Wasn't laughing at your sleep problems or really your conversation with Prentis. I read a little bit about this theory of yours on the debate board and from what I see (and if I'm not understanding you correctly I apologize) is that you believe Christ came to show us we could live a sinless...

All I can do is laugh, shake my head and say I hope that works out for you Vengle.
