If one person repents, then it's worth every ounce of humiliation. Also, some people have never heard the Bible, so how shall they hear without a preacher?

Deuteronomy 18
9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

These laws are forbidding anything pagan, a Christian who keeps pagan holidays and traditions should skip over these verses an act as if they aren't there lol, not saying you keep any pagan abominations, but if we are against Halloween, let's not forget Christmas, Easter, or Valentines day, and the worst of these is Christmas and Easter.

I didn't hear the Gospel being preached in that.

Do you believe those folks were open to hearing about it?

The bible has never called the act of knocking on a door saying trick or treat, a sin.

You have no right to either.

Do not shout out and persecute Christian any day of the week

Wallowing in this wickedness you imagine on this particular day of the year shows who your father is

You will reap what you sow, which is your choice.

On Christmas I celebrate the incarnation. That's kind of a non-sequitur.

God will get his message across in the end even if mere man isn't the messenger.
He did it before in the Old Testament.

The devil wants to keep his day identified as his day, but not in an honorable way like we honor Martin Luther King.
Satans minion's are working hard to get that accomplished by posting on message boards.
Problem is, all days were created and belong to, God.

That doesn't change the fact that Christianity adopted the high holy Babylonian ways from Rome out of Anti-Semitism where the feasts of Jesus were used to target anyone who tried to follow Jesus, they were vehicles of death that marked not only the Jew for persecution, but also any Gentile who would come under the covenant of Jesus, and that's why no Gentiles have come under the Covenant of Jesus.


By law, keeping pagan ways is against the law and is defined as abominations before God, idolatry, and adultery against God and his people, and his people have greatly suffered from these things.


Just saying, if a Christian has a problem with Halloween, if he is keeping Christmas and Easter, then he shouldn't point a finger at any other Christian or person keeping Halloween.

The Days were created by and for, our Lord.

Any Day we choose to celebrate our Lords death and resurrection is fine. Christmas, Easter, doesn't matter

We don't dictate what God owns and our honoring of him, by what unbelievers did in the past.
