Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Oct. 20 2009,17:12)Quote (Lightenup @ Oct. 20 2009,16:37)I do believe that my messages often get lost in your interpretation.  My cousin can have a fall, many day event, and it be good and God honoring and even open on Oct. 31st.  His event isn't just on Oct. 31st.Its your own interpretation I am having a problem w…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ Oct. 20 2009,16:47)Quote (Lightenup @ Oct. 21 2009,08:37)When we encourage joining in with the dressing up and the hoarding of candy, we blend in to the pagan practices.Just out of curiosity Kathi, do you put up a Christmas tree?  Do you have any of the Easter trappings (bunnies, eggs) around Easter?Of course you know where I'm…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 20 2009,15:52)Hi LU, The birthday date is incorrect and for most the arrival of the Son signs their death warrant as they ignore him and his message of salvation. Those who are in Christ have useful things to do rather than joining with the world in an excuse to party surely? Why would they join with the worship of a man,…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Oct. 20 2009,15:44)Quote (Lightenup @ Oct. 20 2009,14:34)Why couldn't my cousin just have a corn maze, a farm tour and presentation of God's role in it, pumpkin patch (not to promote jack-o-lanterns but fall decor and pies/bread, etc) hay ride and a petting zoo.  Why does there have to be a haunted barn, cobwebs all…[Read more]

Nick,God did give us His Son as a baby with a birthday, and God did resurrect Him from the dead. God did those things and He did those things for us and we celebrate that, not some winter solstice or fertility goddess. So I know you believe that God did give us this so why do you say “God did not give us?” He didn't tell us to make an annual…[Read more]

Hi Mandy,I appreciate the inner struggle and I am sifting through all this as well. As far as “roots” of days go, the roots are good. God made the days and He declared them to be good. So, the roots of any day of the year is good. Therefore the argument about “roots” of a day being pagan is a non-issue with me. Evil has turned the good into…[Read more]

I am appreciating the discussion here aside from the name calling and the judgements being thrown about. Personally I would be thrilled for halloween to just go away and not be celebrated. I do not feel the same with Christmas or Easter though. I don't believe that they are viewed by the general public as a “Christian” twist on an evil…[Read more]

Thanks Irene and happyman for your prayers for my sis-in-law. She is not doing well…keep praying. Also, my dad is doing some better thank you all for your prayers. Please continue to pray for him because he has a long way to go yet.Blessings,Kathi

Quote (RokkaMan @ Oct. 13 2009,11:02)Today a remarkable phenomenon has hit my understanding, which came through divine revelation.I asked God to show me and he did in a remarkable way.Is Jesus God?The answer is no, he is a reflection of God. Yet as the Sun shines in the sky, we experience it's rays.So as if God is The Sun, Jesus is his Rays.…[Read more]

Rokkaman,It is great to read about your new understanding and I would like to discuss this more with you when I have the time.Blessings,Kathi

Gathering with other believers can take many forms Keith and we can't be legalistic about that as to how that must happen. Kathi

Thinker,You said to Irene:Quote All the 71 year old ladies I know are going to church and ministering to people and taking meals to shut-ins and meeting together for prayer. But you choose to use your few remaining years judging those who do not agree with you. You don't even worship God but have the audacity to judge those who you think worship…[Read more]

My two cents on halloween…I wish it would go away because I do think that the people that worship satan do so even more on this day. I used to think all year long what costumes to dress my little kids as for halloween parties that my Christian friends had. I never dressed them up as deathly creatures or evil beings. They dressed as bag…[Read more]

Hi Irene,Iritis is an auto-immune disease regarding the inflammation of the iris. My sis-in-law is 35. She has to put steroid drops in her eyes once every hour while she is awake. Keep praying.Thanks,Kathi
