I don’t know what to think about Halloween but since I look so much like a real life yard gnome I would love to get the chance to dress up like one before I die. Bucket list. It would be a Kodak moment.

You should believe the ones who have experienced it. If you don't believe me, then how do you expect anyone else to?Halloween is a night for kids to get candy. If someone is killing children, they should be arrested, tried, and punished.
I'm not aware of any kids who don't enjoy soliciting candy.
I haven't talked with anyone who has experienced it.You should believe the ones who have experienced it. If you don't believe me, then how do you expect anyone else to?
So be it.... ignorance is bliss, but it doesn't do a thing for the victims.I haven't talked with anyone who has experienced it.
I don't know you so I have to take your words with a grain of salt.
Yeshua hamashiach, savior of the nations!I am so sorry. I was like you also. Being totally indoctrinated with the false doctrines of men, antisemitism, replacement theology etc etc. There are unfulfilled prophecies in Jerimiah, Ezekiel and Isaiah that specifically teach about the House of Judah and the House of Israel being joined again into one stick i.e. one man. No house of Christianity or Gentiles mentioned. The law being written on our hearts instead of stone. Guess what it's the same Law. Paul teaches we have become citizens of the Commonwealth of Israel, we are grafted in to Israel. Paul is Jewish and a Pharisee after what many assume as Paul's conversion he himself testified I am of the Tribe of Benjamin, a pharisee of pharisee's Paul didn't run around saying I am a Christian and we have replaced Israel. He was an Israelite!
They were known as "of the way" which was regarded as a branch of Judaism. Now I am not saying Judaism is right either IT IS ALL ABOUT MESSIAH YESHUA.
Shalom
Over in the U.K. we use the above expression when we doubt someone’s words because they have a history of lying, it’s not really used in the context you have used it. We would say ‘ I reserve judgment because I don’t know enough or know you very well…….why not check out TLHKAJ testimony …..then you would know her a bit more and understand her posts here in context. …..http://www.christianityboard.com/threads/understanding-mpd-did-sra-mk.34962/I haven't talked with anyone who has experienced it.

Change from within...like He did with ancient Rome. Like He does with us...if we repent.Some people have told me that it goes back to something called "All Saints Day" or All Hallows' Day, or Hallowmas, which I guess is Nov 1. So I guess Halloween is the eve before, like Christmas eve.
To my thinking giving glory to us people as opposed to God is just asking for trouble!!! Jesus said of us, "If you being evil".
We are sinners in need of our Lord. If we believe in Him we are reckoned as righteous, but being righteous and reckoned or counted as righteous is not the same thing.
Gen 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
So it seems to be a foolish and prideful thing to start glorifying people, even people who know the Lord. It is taking our eyes off God and putting them on evil, selfish, prideful people. I don't even think it wise to glorify angels either. The angels that serve the Lord are incredible but when you talk to them they glorify Jesus Christ, and are not willing to take glory of worship to themselves. So why would we think that is a good thing to do? I don't believe it is, and it give the devil the opportunity and a door to get at us.
Specifically Jesus said if you being evil know how to give good gifts - so we wind up giving candy to kids. Maybe a little candy as a treat is not so bad but do we over do it. And a little party might not be so bad, but it seems like we often over do those too. Then we wind up honoring even the wrong types of people, often dressing up as some of the worst people in our society. And we even go worse than that, often dressing up as demons and the dead.
There is one thing good about Halloween. It shows how we people really are - "evil" just like Jesus said. So perhaps we can look at it and learn from it. And so it is that the church I go to, and I am sure others too, make an extra effort to combat the evil in it and try to focus on the better parts of it. They still give out lots of candy, and dress up, but they do it with reverence to the Lord and try to keep it fun for everyone.
There is something written about how God takes what was meant for evil and turns it to good for those who love Him. Isn't He awesome?

Rita, I appreciate this so much. Thank youOver in the U.K. we use the above expression when we doubt someone’s words because they have a history of lying, it’s not really used in the context you have used it.

Yes, she is .....praise God!!Hello my very strong sister. This depth of evil is hidden so well, specially with the veeeery rich and influential. Most have zero empathy T. unless they themselves see, read, or are a victim of this monster.
Joy, as we know, has up close and in your face abuse from childhood...she is being put back together by God, Amen.
You are much loved and, I hope you will keep at this sister, it will NEVER be on the "news"

Yeah , about this . The new covenant does not teach us to honor evil . But to deny evil , to deny the fleshChrist replaced david as king Lk 1:32-33
The new covenant church replaced old covenant israel matt 21:43
supersupresionism
Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
1 Tim 2:5 one mediator not two
the Jews must convert and be baptized like everyone else! Acts 2:38
OH yes, for sure there is but ONE mediator between GOD and men . THE MAN CHRIST JESUS .Christ replaced david as king Lk 1:32-33

Yeah , about this . The new covenant does not teach us to honor evil . But to deny evil , to deny the flesh
to deny unholy days like helloween . HALLOW is a term for GOD alone .
And remember this well , can we partake of the cup of devils and of GOD , of CHRIST . NOPE . that is called heavy deception .
To honor evil by calling it good , wont never make it GOOD . no matter what we tell ourselves at night
in the end , GOD never desired us to partake of evil . SATAN DID . ITS Why he dressed up this day to make it seem harmless .
Satan aint taking a nap my friend . HE is causing not only the world but most all churchs now to worship him .
HE has always desired the worship , he ceases not to decieve . LET US LEARN OUR BIBLES and beware of men who teach contrary .
