Should Christians celebrate Christmas, Halloween?

What kept you from responding?

I did try. The web page was the problem.

The same people screaming about kids coming to their door asking for a candy probably don't have a clue what their kids are watching on their phones or ipads.

I'd imagine that is true... but, I found a better deal!

Not having any kids in the first place!

Some crazy people say that's better for the environment.

I don't care about the "environment" but it sure is easier on the mind and the pocketbook too!

I decided to not have kids back when I was a kid because my parents fought so much over the kids that I thought since kids are so much trouble for the adults, why bother having them at all?

I am sorry to hear that.
It certainly does not line up with the word of God.
Children are suppose to be a gift from God.

There's no commandment requiring that we all have kids.

Yes, kids can and should be a blessing but I decided long before I knew any of that to not have kids and all things considered... I'm glad I didn't.

Well whatever.... but it says in Genesis be fruitful and multiply.
Besides that, the Bible declares children to be a blessing.
But hey, do whatever you feel like. Suite yourself.

If you can show me where God's Word teaches in the New Testament that it's a sin to not have children... I guess I could get a mail order bride and impregnate her so I don't go to hell for not having at least 2 kids.

I know there's nothing in the New Testament that says not having kids is a sin... but you can play like their is if it makes you feel better about your claim.
