Quote WJ – I can see some merit in the way you deal with this, trying to turn something bad into something good (reminded me of that passage in Genesis 50 where Joseph said to his brother “you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good….”). –Is 1:18WJ, I agree. I truly believe you are trying to do good and you believe you are. You…[Read more]

Quote Halloween also is benign and we may use that day for the Lord. –thinker.Then do as you say and “use that day for the Lord.”The “Lord” conquered the world and kept separate from it's ways. The Lord did not embrace the world, but rather was hated by it because he chose to be different.

Quote But if what you are saying is true then even if I give the Tract without the candy then it would still be the same thing.–WJWJ, we know you won't and can't give the tract without the candy.

Is 1:18 has stated:Yes, but spending time with publicans, sinners, and tax collectors doesnt compromise your spiritual wellbeing. Would you attend a seance?
