What holiday did Jesus' apostles keep. That would be a Christian holiday.
The ONLY observance Jesus said for Christians to keep is found at Luke 22:19.
That is a memorial of his day of death (Good Friday) because Jesus' ransom covers many as said at Matthew 20:28.

Relaxing was allowed under the Constitution of the Mosaic Law so I don't understand your statement.
If Jesus was alive today why Not surf, or golf just would Not be involved in dangerous sports.
I find Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine. Wine was served at the Passover observance.
We can Not read people's hearts but Jesus can and will according to Isaiah 11:3-4; Revelation 19:14-16.
That is the purpose for getting rid of the wilfully wicked at the soon coming time of separation on Earth as found at Matthew 25:31-33,37. - Psalm 92:7; Proverbs 2:21-22.
Many earthly holidays or celebrations have non-biblical roots honoring the creation. ( Wicked Satan is a creation )
Wine during the Sedar was the only time my maternal grandfather drank alcohol.

Halloween is from a pagan origin, not from Satan. Not sure why some Christians want to label anything not from their Bible as the work of Satan and therefore the golfing reference same as some think TV or music is the work of Satan.

Do you agree that these jerk harrassing families participating in a legal and normal tradition were wrong in what they accused the adults of or do you think those guys and the guy at the beach were sharing and promoting love? Statistically speaking more of the parents would label themselves Christian than not.

I thought I'd pretty much heard the dumbest of the dumb arguments from fundamentalists re Halloween, but no. You outdid your comrades here. Congrats.

You are outright making things up here. I've never known a kids' Halloween party to include seances or Ouija boards. It's dressup, treats, and games.

You are dishonest in your drive to judge and show your disdain for others, Rbb1. Shame on you.

P.S. Jesus never taught burning for eternity but taught resurrection - Revelation 1:18.
Actually, yeah, I could. I believe Jesus had to have had a sense of humor. Nobody would have followed a dull, judgmental, humorless drag around.

GMTA.

I should have read ahead.

I'm trying to figure this out. A little 3-year-old fairy princess and a 4-year-old Spiderman come to the door and say "Trick or Treat" while mom and dad wait down at the sidewalk. Am I supposed to tell them that they are evil devil worshipers before or after I give them some candy? I'm sure there are a lot of people that want to know.

Amen. It fits her narrative, MQ.
