The scripture that you have chosen has shown no support of trick-or-treating. It shows the support of if you want to eat food given to idols. The background of the tradition od Halloween deals with people dressing up as costumes and masks to scare away the evil spirits and other things that deals with witchcraft. Even though when it has came to the U.S. the bases and essence of the religion is still present even though Americans have changed the reason of dressing up. Even though the meaning has changed the same thing still applies of dealing with witchcraft, sorocery, and other things not of the Lord. By giving candy to the kids in rheir costumes you are accepting the principles of the previous origin of the holiday as being ok. As christians we are not to conform to this world and by giving out candy to a holiday that has such a bad origin you are accepting it because the world does trick-or-treat. The world is not our final authority, but the Word of God and the Lord Jesus Christ is. posted by: Isaac (reply) post date: 12.11.04 (3:17 pm) Why can't you see past the carnal and see the spiritual? While Christ was here on earth and spoke to the Pharisees and Sadduccees, He told them that the point of the law and the commandments was to (1) love God with all that you are, and (2) to love your neighbour as if you'd love yourself. And if you go through the commandments, and all of the law, you would see just that, and Christ told them the spirit of the law. So if Paul wrote this by the Holy Spirit, what's the difference between meat and candy? Can you see through to the spirit of what Paul is trying to say? By giving candy or dressing up in costumes, even though I know that witchcraft is false and all that practice witchcraft practice in vain, am I partaking in the same falseness that they're indulging in? Even if I worship the one true God with all that God's given me to praise Him with? Absolutely not. Knowing the truth, to me eating candy is eating candy. And dressing in costumes with friends and having a fun time is just that. Do you have faith? The fullness of the earth is God's. No food, whether its meat or candy, can destroy the work of God. All things are God's, but it's a sin to the person that eats without faith that God gave them liberty to eat it, which He did. The Epistle to the Romans Chapter 14. Verse 21, "It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak." Verse 22, "Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth." Then this: Verse 23, "And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin." But Lampra, I'm happy that you call the Lord Jesus Christ your Lord. Even though I might offend you, I'm happy that you're not offended in Him. From last night... The word "satan" doesn't appear in the Epistle of James, but... "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." It calls satan "the devil," like in Revelations where it says, "the one called the devil and satan." And in Christ's parable (in Matthew Chapter 13): Verse 38, "The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;" Verse 39, "The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels." It calls satan the devil there, too... Verse 40, "As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world." |
