...It is not of God. Why? Too many scriptures being said about it if we look around. Jag

So did soccer and football~ Soccer was invented by the Mayan and Aztec Indians in Central America. At the Mayan Ruins, in the city of Copan, Honduras, they have a one of the first soccer fields ever. This civilization dates back to more than 10,000 years ago. In this civilization, Soccer teams would compete against each other and the captain of the winning team was sacrificed after the game. The act of being sacrificed was considered an honor to these people. Soccer was played as a game by Roman soldiers, who used the heads of their enemies in a game with simple goalposts. So it's understandable why there is a rule against touching the ball with your hands. Just kick it again. |

Satan is so sly. I often hear, "But it's just little kids having fun and getting candy." That reminds me of his speech with Eve, "Eat for thou surely won't die." He tells half truths and many people fall for far too many of them. I know of a so-called church, never did know the name of it but it was close to where we lived for about 2 years or so. Every Halloween eve they had a goat tied up outside the church and the next morning it was gone... I was personally condemned in my spirit. I am not saying this to be judgemental but it is coming from my experience and conviction. Willow99 |

We do not celebrate it. We also do not celebrate Kwaansa, Hannukah, Ramadan, Ash Wednesday, RoshHashanna, the full moon...
We do celebrate Christmas (Happy Birthday Jesus!), Resurrection Day (Easter), Passover, Independence Day, Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Birthdays, New Years Day, Valentines Day...but we celebrate the PURPOSE of those days...not just an excuse to get together for a BBQ.

But not Amenrican football Violet- although I suspect many idolize that now. Halloween has no godly redeeming virute I personally can see. I was watching the Glenn Beck show last night. He was commenting that the old costumes ( witches, demons, etc) were no longer as popular but now moms were dressing their kids scantily like moraly bankrupt celebs- yuck. Anyway my kids don't take candy from strangers- come to think of it niether do I. As I said previously - I judge no one- each follow his or her conscience towards Christ. Hmm- perhaps each should pray and get His take on it.

Halloween, as popularized in the US, has no point whatsoever really. Part of why I'm so apathetic about it. Even the pagans have a halfway decent purpose for the day. I think it's "admirable" (sorry, can't think of a better word) to remember friends and love'd ones that have passed on, and even our ancestors. Though, as a good Christian, you should definitely draw the line somewhere before the actual "summoning of their spirits" for communion.
I do find it funny, that both Christians and pagans have gotten disgusted by the entire thing, and for much the same reasons.
