Quote (Lightenup @ Oct. 21 2009,16:09)So, I went to a Bible study tonight and feel like the Lord showed me something that might be of interest here.This is an excerpt from the story about Gideon:Judg 6:25-2825 Now on the same night the Lord said to him, “Take your father's bull and a second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Oct. 21 2009,14:27)I think some here have forgotten these truths:”Greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world.”””Everything is permissible”–but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible”–but not everything is constructive.””To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Oct. 20 2009,20:04)All,I am willing to concede something; Halloween's ancient roots are of evil nature. . . . I cannot escape the true meaning of the original festival.  While it WAS indeed a time of one season ending and another beginning….the ancient folks DID believe in ghosts reappearing and their abilities to interact with…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 20 2009,11:05)HI NOT3, At the very least halloween glorifies witchcraft and the occult.We should think about it.I don't know……Ask a child what Halloween “glorifies” and I bet you wouldn't get witchcraft and the occult. You would hear things like, the harvest, pumpkins, candy, parties, trick-or-treating, special food…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 21 2009,11:14)Hi not3, Rugby is a winter sport and naked women stay at home.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 21 2009,11:04)Hi not3, So we should treat both with the same reservations?Or is halloween somehow holier?I think we have to be careful not to condemn ourselves by what we approve!

Quote (david @ Oct. 21 2009,09:59)Mandy, how did you finally come to this conclusion, about the darker side of halloween. Before you had said there were different stories.I read an interview with a witch.There are other stories and legends that are harmless. But it would seem that the majority of explainations of Halloween include one or more of…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 21 2009,09:43)Hi not3, The sons of God are led by the Spirit of God. God did not give us halloween did He?Of course not. But God didn't give us rugby mixed with those half-naked commercials either.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 21 2009,08:06)Hi TT, So servants do what they are told not what seems right or good enough?But we are also family.We obey out of love. That's the only way our Father wants it. He tried making us through the law (and we saw how that worked). Now he doesn't demand anything of us. We choose whether we love him enough to…[Read more]
