I wasn't speculating, my statements were from Wikipedia.Ya, let's focus on REAL history and not
YOUR speculation.

It appears that you are right, and that Halloween has its origins in the Catholic doctrines about dead saints.
Many pagan practices came in, as it was celebrated. So unlike christianized pagan holidays, Halloween is a paganized Christian Holiday.
How Ironic that it is demonic.
I'll add another H here for how humorous that this thread has turned out to be. I had an absolute ball last night and if this were any other website I would have been banned for joking around like that. It's great!!![]()
Not in CS Lewis books.That is not even intellectually honest.
The Bible is from Gods perspective,
horror films are from the devils perspective.
If you want to focus on what is real, then here is the reality.
1. Satan is the adversary (enemy) of God, Christ, Christians, Christianity, and in fact mankind. His agenda is to STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY.
2. Satan is already condemned to Hell, and he knows that his time is short. Therefore he is redoubling his efforts through his minions such as BLM, Antifa, the Democrats, the EU, the UN, WHO, etc.
3. Satan wants every human being in Hell, and fights against the Gospel and God's truth daily and viciously. He seems to be gaining the upper hand.
4. At the very least, Satan wants Christians to believe that there is nothing wrong with things originating with Satan and evil spirits. And he has managed to deceive many, in many different ways.
5. There are too many Christians failing to resist the devil. Therefore devilish things have crept into Christian lives, Christian homes , and Christian churches.
Not in CS Lewis books.

You were speculating that your source was referencing the oldest history, then I posted a source tracing the festival much further back. Now is the time for you to acknowledge that you were informed that history of the festival goes further back then you thought.
TV, no offense, but you come off as a little pushy sometimes. Maybe a LOT pushy sometimes. You sure this is the best way to minister to people?
God bless,

Thank you for the caution Hidden. I will try to tone down being pushy.

You just gained a bit more of my respect and I'm listening more than I was listening last night. I'm still not changing my opinion but now at least you finally got my attention. :)
Thank You for that.
I would be a hypocrite if I didn't weigh in the correction of a fellow believer like I have suggested others do.
Yeah no offense man but you were WAY out of control and demanding last night and that's not how you earn friends. Feel free to share your POV but please tone it down a bit would ya?
Yes, I apologize for being out of control.
Shalom.
That's all you had to say apology accepted and I apologize for yanking your chain last night for the record but I really didn't mean any real harm,.. I was only doing it to show you how ridiculous you were acting but now,.. it's no biggie. :)
Apology excepted. I was only frustrated.
Not hurt at all.
I did not assume you the type to do those things you just mentioned and I didn't doubt that you walk with the Lord so please don't worry about that.
We are all on a different part of the same road to Christ.
Shalom.
I'd be a willing participant minus my pushiness.
