Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?

Yes.

As long as they leave Saint Hubertus day alone!

Define “celebrate”

It is always amazing how many people feel the need to tell others how to live their lives.

Celebrate? Does anyone? Participate.. sure go ahead.

We have to save a snort of Jagermeister for the day.

Had a previous pastor

Was against Halloween
Would ridicule and shun members that went to Disney World/Universal Studios
Would berate people for watching ABC television programming

But was ok with having an Easter egg hunt on church property. I called him out on that one. lol
He was sputtering like Sylvestor the cat.


Deacons overruled him on us having a Trunk Or Treat parking lot alternative to door to door and parties.

Deacons sat his squirrelly ass down and told him like it was. Dude didnt even have a seminary, was a truck stop screamer we picked up. Dumped him after two years of him cattle shuting kids thru coerced Baptisms at VBS.

Jesus doesn't care.

If they truly believed, Christians would never celebrate anything. They'd live their entire lives in masochistic self-denial, sacrifice, and suffering to be worthy of the infinite rewards they expect when they're dead. Enjoying anything repudiates their faith.

Oh go polish your rocket.....

Cancel Culture. Sounds familiar somehow.

I actually listen to his points as it was just 5 minutes, first time I've listen to someone's link...

God bless him but it was dumb... not harmful, just dumb.

Kent

Hahaha!

People tell me I look better in a mask..
So I have that going for me, which is nice.

Osky

We "Christians" celebrate other holidays with pagan origin. What' wrong with one more? Sol Invictus became Christmas, the pagan fertility festival was co-opted for Easter. What's the harm? And if it is harmful maybe Christmas and Easter need to go.Jesus himself addressed this when he pointed out that John was criticized for living a life of self denial and he Jesus was criticized for drinking and eating. I think Jesus was very social, not self denying, and enjoyed eating and drinking.

This video is geared towards believers. Unbelievers can (and do) do anything they want. There are no rules.


As a believer, can anyone name something Godly about halloween?

No.

Thats retarded.

Or Valentine's Day, or Ground Hog Day, or a birthday, or President's Day. What is the problem that a Christian would have unless you're into witchcraft or Satan worship? For the record, I do not participate in Halloween.

Amen Jim

There's nothing Godly about combing our hair, driving a car, wearing cloths, hunting, fishing, following laws, Labor day, using toilet paper, veterans day, forth of july, washing dishes... you can not do anything physically or metaphorically Godly... or UnGodly.

Kent

I concur.

By the way, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg, thus lighting the fire of the Protestant Reformation on Oct. 31st, 1517.

As was said, it's all in the way it's celebrated.

This is just so wrong, I don't know where to start... Some of the happiest people that have been in my life were Christians to the core. Why would anybody be miserable after they find Christ? Christ didn't say you were exempt from hard times in you life, but he sure helps you to get through them. He also never said you must be miserable to follow me.

Never read that in the Bible either,however, if you listen to some"christians" it certainly would seem that way.

Is the Pope Catholic?Is Monty Python a Saint.What day is the true Sabbath?Was Jesus actually born on December 25th?Was Mary a Virgin?Is Happy Crapper a Virgin?Does Jesus save and Moses Invest?How many stupid topics can Happy Crapper come up with?An inquiring mind wants to know.

If you listen to all these "Christians" who do nothing but scream about the rules, you begin to understand why HOA's are so common.

Pastors should know better. Christians commonly celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ often throughout the year. Many set aside Easter on the calendar for recognizing the same resurrection following the sacrifice.
To accommodate the pagan influence of fertility worship or practices is wrong. Hide and seek of children and prizes any other time of year just for fun and not as a pagan practice is one thing.
But I don't think the Lord is pleased with us teaching children fertility games like the heathens.

Deuteronomy 11:28
"And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known."

18:9,10
"When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch...",

Yup, and they should hang effigies of witches from the trees in their yards with Let’s Go Brandon signs around their necks, thereby offending both Wokesters and Demoncrats simultaneously.

Except for Satanists and other crackpots, Halloween is just an excuse to dress up and eat too much sugar.

Leave them kids alone!

What supersedes that amazement is how many people open up such threads knowing what it will contain just to protest free speech and religion.

Instead of Trick or Treating, the kids should be watching Gladiator movies.

Knew HC couldn't resist.

Jesus did not celebrate darkness and death. He celebrated light and life.Jesus was certainly not social with the pharisees and sadducees. He made them hate him by telling the Truth. I don't believe you know the Truth. You prove it every time I read a post of yours about faith and the Bible.

Here's 5:

Huh?

Big jimmy be like, "Hey, Ho's, don't be messing with my grocery sacks full of candy......

Having kids participate is fine by me. Long ago I enjoyed the fun each year. I'm betting that today's kids do too.

I dont have much of a sweet tooth.


Maybe if they handed out jerky.

So is Fireballz.

And wabigoon.

Good question.

There's all kinds of old and new Testament prohibitions that God gives against the pagan rituals that Halloween is based upon.

Extortion
Fear of devils
Darkness
Death
Satanism and the occult
Child sacrifices

According to the Bible, you and Wabigoon are smarter than those who despise wisdom and instruction from God's Word.

Proverb 1

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction."

Of course it is.

Retarded is as retarded does.

A mother dressing up her little girl in a cute outfit and taking her around to friends and neighbors' houses to share in her joy and excitement at playing dress-up and receiving candy is not ungodly.

Kids aren't symbolically worshipping Satan when they dress up as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and eat Snickers bars.

It’s unfortunate that the American version of Christianity gives that impression. A right understanding of the Christian faith is that we are free to enjoy all the good things that God has given us. It’s unfortunate that America evangelical and fundamental thought left Christianity behind decades ago and replaced it with varying forms of moralism.

I already addressed that with this video.
https://youtu.be/TFLrH_2ojEU
The children are not satanists. Of course kids like to pretend and play dress up. Why must parents refuse to learn what God thinks about it?
Kids are the innocent victims of crimes throughout the ages.
They were burned alive by the evil druids to the demons they worshiped. There's a very sinister foundation to Halloween that parents and grandparents on the forum should be aware of. It is still a serious satanic unholy day celebrated by Satanists, witches, and various occult religions. They take it seriously. Using a cultural practice that parents raised by gt traditions doesn't change that fact. The devil does everything he can to influence the young to change society. Christians should shape society with God's Word and Good News, Not the devil and his followers.

Arkansas State Capital idol of satan with children looking up to him.

Yea, Ricky's religious position is on the way out there, Young Earth Creationist side of things.....

Or maybe some of us just like hot babes in skimpy outfits:

How many people have been tortured and/or murdered in the name of Christianity?

Here's a half dozen torture methods used by the Spanish Inquisition:

https://historycollection.com/snap-crackle-pop-torture-methods-of-the-spanish-inquisition/4/

I like to think of Jesus as He lived on earth, as a man. I’ll bet He would have a blast watching His children dress up and walk door to door getting candy. It’s a ritual that unites us in our communities.

And I’ll bet He would sneak all the fun size Butterfingers out of your pillowcase at the end of the night, too.

Oh, but that's "different"

🙄

Come again happy? You addressed it in the video?

That means you made the video, right?

Especially people who want to call themselves "conservative."

You make a good point. I've met some Christians whose whole attitude was this. "If you're having fun, you're committing a sin." WTF?I wish I could remember his exact words when President carter came out with hit 55 MPH speed limit. It was, IIRC something to the effect of drivers having fun with their automobiles and the fun coming to a stop. I didn't much care for him anyway and that only made my dislike even greater.
I was dating a girl in high school and we could go out but movies or school dances verboten! They were sinful. She didn't quite go along with mommy and daddy's beliefs. Guess I was damned lucky she didn't get knocked up. Good Christian people. The skipped out on owed rent and grocery bills telling the guy they left the money with me. But they did go to church every Sunday and Wednesday night.

I'm not down on Christian people by any means. I'm a Christian. But I've foregone the pleasure of church, thank you very much. My late wife got me to finally go back. There was one woman who had a reputation of stealing husbands from wives, yet they let her stay. We left when she hit on me right in front of my wife and I told her to F off in no uncertain words. We picked another and between the pastor with his Brooks Brothers sit and multiple Rolex watches, his constant badgering the congregation for money and sermons that left us feeling guilty, we said bye bye church. He was always one who gave you the feeling that if you were enjoying yourself you were sinning.
Halloween? Can't speak for anyone else but when I was a kid it was our day. knock on doors and get free candy, cookies and other goodies. All good clean fun. Never gave any thought to anything but just big a bag of candy we could get before 9PM, out curfew set by our neighborhood. The occult? What was that? We had no idea. FWIW, our time frame was from about 1944 to maybe 1954. At the end I had to go along as escort tp my younger sister.
Paul B.

That's NOT Christianity.

The Inquisition was carried out by a pseudo"christian" sect that called itself THE Church. Jesus wasn't a part of that religion,some of whose officers carried out the torture of millions of peaceful true believers in Christ.
I saw the book describing such torture yesterday.
My friend asked me if I knew what it was. I did because a former friend, before I trusted my Lord, revealed that he was a satanist as I read from his library.
Like you, he also justified his religious views and animosity toward those So-called christians. That doesn't make you a satanist, but you use the same worn out argument to try to paint the Jesus' true followers to be those evil inquisitors of the Dark Ages.

Unbelievable.

And I don't mean that as a figure of speech.

That’s funny as fugk. I have a borderline retard Democrat Obama loving sister-in-law that says the same thing. Equates current, modern Islamic behavior with the inquisition that was how many hundreds of years ago? Lol. They weren’t even Christians they were papists.

Made a comment last week knowing Mr. "Christain" HC would make a thread about this very subject.

🤣🤣🤣😱😱😱😱😱🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😱😱😱😱🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Fugging Azzclown....
So predictable......

How about it happy?

As a kid, my church put on a safe place to trick or treat and had good candy and other snacks. [bleep] the libtards.

Yes, they those events were carried out by Christians.
You just committed the "No True Scotsman Fallacy".

No true Scotsman, or appeal to purity, is an informal fallacy in which one attempts to protect their universal generalization from a falsifying counterexample by excluding the counterexample improperly.[1][2][3] Rather than abandoning the falsified universal generalization or providing evidence that would disqualify the falsifying counterexample, a slightly modified generalization is constructed ad-hoc to definitionally exclude the undesirable specific case and counterexamples like it by appeal to rhetoric.[4] This rhetoric takes the form of emotionally charged but nonsubstantive purity platitudes such as "true, pure, genuine, authentic, real", etc.[2][5]

Philosophy professor Bradley Dowden explains the fallacy as an "ad hoc rescue" of a refuted generalization attempt.[1] The following is a simplified rendition of the fallacy:[6]

Person A: "No Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge."
Person B: "But my uncle Angus is a Scotsman and he puts sugar on his porridge."
Person A: "But no true Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge."

It's not the Liberals who are against Halloween.

It's the Far Right Conservatives such as Slappy Hampster....the one's who are so far right they have to worry about falling off the edge of their young, flat earth.

Man...you are on a tear today.

Where ya been?

JIm, been busy with life. Hope life's going well for you and your bunch.

There are always people that take anything to the extreme, no matter what it is. People that want to insult Christianity always point out the ones that are fringe, hoping their hate sticks.. I've know some people that are just miserable, wallow in it, and they inject it into everything, including their faith. I can say there are some fringe "churches" that are the same way. They are only doing harm to the Gospel and give the haters ammo. Thankfully, these people are a minority.

Soon we will all be back to a good peine forte de dure for eating candy on the 31st of October.

As well as we have a right to.

Good to see you back.

Flat earth fable is another one of those lies propagated by atheists, satanists and various other a who hate christianity. Your argument is intended to discredit christianity and it's Founder by interjecting false narratives that were not held by christians.
BTW, I know what a true Bible believing Christian is.
They weren't the poope's and Cardinals' inquisiting soldiers.

HC.

Short of reference to a video, how do you know that you are a Christian?

Still waiting. Are you pimping your own videos on here happy?

I have a Baptist preacher friend who is a young earth man and a complete inundation of the earth flood man. He proves the flood by the seashells in a cave somewhere in Latin America at 8000 feet elevation. I found out his young earth belief when I told him a rise of the colliding plates of1/4 inch a year would only take 384,000 years to get that cave 8000 feet above sea level.

Three observation of Halloween is a recognition of the Taurid meteor stream. Nothing else.

I like Reese's peanut butter cups.

Brach’s Candy Corn and Mellowcreme Pumpkins are the bomb too.

I’m stocking up on both the day after Halloween. 😬

Half price sale Baby !

Reprobate!

Mixing of races??????



Theys Miscegenated!

Tomás de Torquemada was a Dominican friar. The Dominican order was approved by Pope Honorius III via the papal bull Religiosam vitam on 22 December 1216. In other words the leader of the Spanish Inquisition held membership in an order approved by the papacy.

My favorite. Snickers come in a close second.

It's also interesting how you disavowed the flat earth, but not the young earth. Both movements are driven by fundamentalist Christians, some are just more extreme in their fundamentalism than others.

White chocolate Reese's are the best. Nothing regular shidt colored chocolate is not better in white chocolate.

I have arrowheads older than Shem, Ham and Larry

What does it matter to observe, participate in, or celebrate Halloween?

Many have posted that acts don’t matter. Only one’s faith and acceptance of the jesus.

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!

Halloween is a day of preparation for All Hallows Day, a celebration only important to Catholics. All Hallows Day is a day to celebrate those who the church has declared to be saints. The Bible calls all believers saints with no special appointment by the church. For those who believe the Bible, it's a day to celebrate all believers, not just those singled out a a church.
Since the Catholic saints are unimportant to all non-Catholics, their day is equally unimportant. It's just a day to dress up and play boogy-man.

On judgement day, I doubt God will give a hoot about my Grandson dressing up as a can of Flex Seal and getting some free candy....Only the false prophet Adults can turn a Kids game into something evil..

You know, we celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, July 4th…..I take Christmas for what it is, a day for the family to get together. Thanksgiving is a day of celebration, but I was mostly deer hunting during that time.. Halloween can be enjoyed just like any of the other Holidays. Just keep in mind that it’s a celebration and not a worship service.

Mom died on October 31, 2009 in the morning, I don’t celebrate the day due to that. Love you Mom, you were more than I deserved.

I've thought it was a stupid holiday since I was about 11 yrs old, almost 50 yrs ago.

We are saved by Faith, works build a place in Heaven.

Heretic. White chocolate is an abomination.

Demononic even.

Oh well I guess the world should just cancel it.

White chocolate isn’t even really chocolate. But I still like it.

Those individuals were just as certain that they were christian and doing God's work as you are.
They were probably right..........

I don't often find fault in Gruff's postings. Tonight is no different.

George

Todays kids aren't even allowed to be out after dark around here.. All the towns have a set time for trick or treating and it's all during daylight hours. If it's supposed to rain on Halloween they move it to an alternate day. There's a curfew for everybody under 18. No teenagers out after dark waxing windows, smashimg pumpkins, shave creaming and toilet papering the streets and sidewalks. It just isn't allowed. Halloween in the 21 st century is lame and the kids are little pansies.

Do you ever post anything worth a fock? It s seems like your constantly running a campaign to be the "post whore " of the year winner. Get a life
Mb

That'll go right over his head.

happy camper likes to holly the weenie.

A Christian would read their Bible and ask God this question.

Trolls more interested in the Devil's work go to the internet to distract Christians from God's work.

Which one do you think fits this thread?

So HC, which one of these two guys is the "real Christian"?

At our Lutheran church we celebrate Reformation Day. It's also on October 31st. We always include the hymn "A Mighty Fortress is Our God".

It's not my cup of tea as such, but if society wants to dress up in costumes and party for the night, it is their right to do so.

According to Philip Melanchthon, 31 October 1517 was the day German monk Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses on the door of the All Saints' Church in Wittenberg, Electorate of Saxony in the Holy Roman Empire. Historians and other experts on the subject argue that Luther may have chosen All Hallows' Eve on purpose to get the attention of common people, although that has never been proven.


Sounds as good as any of the others.

Gee ,I wonder if I did not give them a treat,would they turn a trick?

Phaggy Camper is not only the biggest liar on this site but he also inserts his supposed faith and Gods name into his constant lies. Still the other holy roller idiots have his back which makes them all one steaming pile of schit. JMHO

It could be what you think are lies is merely a lack of education on your part.

Yep, including which truck I should buy, etc., etc. etc...

Beef or Chicken/Pork? Most of what you are offering is cable BS by a piss poor actress who is sshhitty in her presentation. She is paid to look like a Biittcch like the liberals want.

Crappy Hampster is bullshit extraordinaire, bar none. It is an indisputable fact. The evidence is his history of posts.

Your fellow hunters “Fudds” tell you that! Ask them to decide between Ford-Chevy-Dodge….

That apparently you read. Why even comment?

Same reason that you just did I suppose.

Postings are always going to be subject to constructive criticism - you got a problem with that?

It's a public forum. If you post something controversial, you might get "constructive criticism " or you might get the reaction "happy camper" seems to crave.

If you can't handle that, don't post here.

Thank a Catholic if you observe Halloween.

Or hate one like Happy Camper.

these are the type of people to be leery of and watch out for.......these are the false prophets and deceivers of men.....bob

Yeah, especially when he's pimping his own videos on here.

Not one thing.

We didn't do it with the kids nor did we lie to them and tell them there was a Santa Claus They turned out fine.

Halloween is of Christian origin, so why wouldn't Christians celebrate it?

This from wiki .......... It's pagan.

The person that made this video is seriously damn dumb.

How did you derive that it's pagan from that excerpt?

Halloween has turned into a bizarre schitshow. It’s a stupid excuse for weird people to really get weird and semi-normal people to pretend they’re weird. Non event for us.

Just do some research on it as we did many years ago. There is much on the subject out there. It goes back pre-Christian and like Christmas has been assimilated into main stream culture including Christian circles.

One thing is for sure All Hallows Eve has changed since I was a kid.

Absolutely not.

This is non sense. Your comments are based on complete Biblical ignorance.

Ecclesiastes 2:24 " There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment[a] in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God,"

No.

It is worse than that. The holiday is pure paganism and celebrates death. Modern pagans know this full well.

This is ignorant atheistic tripe parroted from the internet.

The "No True Scotsman Fallacy" does not apply if indeed there are real definitions for a Scotsman and said definition is relevant to the argument. IOW, Scottish people really do exist. Christians REALLY do exist.

No, you are uninformed.

People who are against Halloween are those who know it's pagan and celebrates death.

True words.

Your contributions continue to be empty.

And you think Rocky was serious.

You are still a retard.

HC likes to jale the weenie.

It doesn't matter if he was serious or not. The words needed refuting. That's how truth works.

Tell us about the Easter Bunny next you fugging dope.


Is he real or not???



Kent makes you retards look like you are standing still.

Non sense. You have no idea what Christianity is if you think such a thing.


Beyond that, it makes no difference what the origin is. The modern celebration is being embraced by the current pagan revival in the west. This alone tells you it should be refuted by Christians.

https://www.goodfight.org/articles/cults-occult/halloween-satanic-holiday/

Old Bat would not know the truth if it poked him in the eye.

Most of your dumb schit came from the Pagans and the Zoroastrians.

Changing the subject is a sign of a weak mind.

The Easter bunny is pagan. Easter is a real celebration of the resurrection of Christ.

I agree, children going around the neighborhood collecting candy is the most heinous of devil worship.

NO KIDDING????


Are you saying the Easter Bunny isn't real??

This is a baseless internet claim. You were reading some web site and now you are parroting what someone else's bald claimed.

It apparently really puts a burr under Jesus's saddle.

That is a thin facade of what Halloween is about.

Believing Halloween is about collecting candy is like believing drag queen story time is about dress up.

Sorry dumbass. Its true.


Your Holidays are nothing more than co-opted Pagan and Zoroastrian celebrations.

Jeeze...you are gonna have to do something about this!

Careful Jim he'll cast a hex on you.

These fuggwits like OH and HC are the kind of people that bring you things like Sharia law....and they should not be tolerated in any capacity.

You are mistaken. Christ was born and resurrected.

That pagans existed before Christ demonstrates nothing other than the obvious.

Next you are gonna say that Santa Clause doesn't come down the chimney. and that Christmas Trees are a tool of the devil.


Like everything else you retards get involved in, you have fugged up spirituality as well.


Thats the kind of stuff God hates.

You don't understand Christianity. The pagans engage in black magik. Christians do not.

Its starting to look like another topic you dont understand either.


At least you are consistent.

What do you believe about spirituality?


What I have found is that the vast majority of people on the internet will not say what they believe about spirituality because they know it will not hold up under scrutiny.

I know I will be out collecting the Dad tax from all of my kids Halloween candy this year.

Of the ten most im;portant things I have to be concerned with today, whether or not my grandkids should go trick or treating is number four thousand six hundred and seventy nine.

Under scrutiny?


Like spelling magic with a "K"?


Why did all the big "holidays" start off as Pagan holidays?

Lord please save me from your ‘followers’………

Heck, I'm not sure I could argue with anyone who thought I look better wearing a mask.

The vast majority of people in the world think just like you. I'm fully aware saying Halloween is satanic is not popular. I understand.

1 Corinthians 2:14 "The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned."

1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."

So kids in scawey costums give hat the willies.

What do you believe about spirituality?

That you fugging idiots have ruined it for millions and seem to like nothing more than causing divisions and strife.


Decidedly un-spiritual. You will have a lot to answer for.

Jihad on haloween!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

THIS. Christians and Liberals...the most " open minded" sectors of the population, simply can't stand it when someone has a view that differs with theirs....

Christmas trees aren't Christian.


We should ban them.

If they had only succeeded in banning Elvis.....none of this would have ever happened.

What came first, All Hallows Day or Halloween as we know it? Who established All Hallows Day and why?

Honestly haven’t even seen this thread until now and went right to the end so I know this is a lot I may have missed.

The thread’s title addresses Christian’s (of whom I am one) only… and at that, expresses an opinion held by a minority of them.

According to that reading (again recognizing I likely missed a lot along the way) isn’t it I who has a kid going trick or treating who should be “offended” or whatever (I’m not; I don’t care) rather than those who aren’t Christian’s?

That sounds suspiciously like a scientific, evidence based approach to the question Paul.


Science is the tool of the devil you know. And Elvis.

Them hip gyrations were straight from the devil

Old Hat spoke the truth.
Besides, this question is addressed to Christians, Not to trolling unbelievers.

You two already put a terrible curse/ hex on your own lives (and your families), by rejecting the ONLY means of salvation linked in my signature below.

Jesus, Almighty God Himself, said,

"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

John 3

The solution, NOT a hex, is there.
It's the satanists and witches who cast hex's and spells by summoning help from evil spirits that enjoy the culture promoting death, fear, darkness and the occult.

You are no Christian. Christianity isn't a HOA, and your ad revenue is not going to buy your treacherous ass into heaven.

Any homos try to rape you today Happy?

Kinda like the “open minded” virtue signalers here who castigate and ridicule others because they like to watch college football and the NFL. That’s ‘always’ good for a laugh.

Depends how you define "Celebrate."

Quite a difference between carving a Jack O Lantern and seeing the grandkids in their costumes....

Or

Slaughtering a goat, smearing your body with blood and dancing around a fire under the moonlight singing praise to Pan.

😬😬😬🥴🥴🥴🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣

You are an artist!

Why do you avoid the question.

I haven't.

You are a retard and I will not discuss my spirituality with a retard.

Make sure not to put up a Christmas tree this year.

It's Pagan.

Christmas isn't Christian.
It is the relabeling of the Sol Invictus Festival.
The return of the invincible sun.

Why do the two of you hide behind such a shallow set of words.

You both have morals and dogmas that you believe are the correct way to live life. I can guarantee you you tell people who will listen about them.

No one here is forcing anyone to believe or do anything. Christians are simply stating what they believe. On the contrary, it is the radical Christian haters who try and shut down the discussion.

Christ was born. It is Holy and good to celebrate His birth. That the day chosen coincides with what some pagan believes is of no importance.

You are no better than a radical Muslim and your end result is to drive people away from Christ.

Hahahaha!


Did you read that?

You did not read my response or the link.

How is Christmas any different than kids playing dress-up on halloween then?

What are your spiritual beliefs?

If anything, you have proven yourself intellectually lazy.....just like the earlier men who just decided to change the names of the Pagan holidays and call them Christian holidays.

Don't ask questions already answered. Read the thread and the links.

Also, just because the catholic religion co-opted a pagan holiday does not mean Halloween has absolutely any Christian association.

Nice dodge.

Zoroastrians getting a call out.

Don Diego Vega approves.

It's in his link dontcha know!

That is a fair point. I don't think it is a sin to send the kids off to trick or treat.

On the other hand teaching them the truth from the beginning and not hiding what is really going on is also not good at all. Once people know and believe what is really going on I find people who love the Lord Jesus Christ naturally want to disassociate from such a horrid holiday.

Nice dodge.

You are confused. I read the link.

"OldHat is so stupid"

"HOW STUPID IS HE?"

"OldHat is so stupid every All Hallows Eve instead of candy he gives out [BLANK]."

Old Hat, did I miss your response to this?

Papists are the Devil leaflets.

Do you teach your kids that Christmas was originally a pagan holiday? Do you want christians to disassociate from it too?

And Jesus was a whoremonger.

Hat, most people can’t tell you how many States there are in the US. You worrying about, or thinking parents should be teaching their kids what and where Halloween originated from is incredibly short sighted today. Hell, it was short sighted 30 years ago.

Not pertaining to any individual person or persons here on this board specifically, I believe you make a very good point above sir. Some followers of Jesus choose not to ‘belong’ to a hostile and quarrelsome, disputatious and deservedly infamous group.

A lotta people have quit being a ‘Christian.’ They’re out. They remain committed to Jesus but not to being ‘Christian’ or to being part of organized Christianity. Their faith in Jesus is still central to their lives, and being an optimistic believer in a universe created and sustained by a loving God is crucial to them. But following Jesus does not mean following His followers. Jesus is infinitely more important than Christianity and always will be, no matter what Christianity is, has been, or might become. Their commitment to Jesus remains at the heart and center of their lives, and transformation in Him is ongoing and radical. Some simply feel called to be an outsider for Him, to step away from the words “Christian” and “Christianity,” it’s something that their conscience pretty much demands of them.

Do you really think that other's spirituality is any of your business? Who appointed you as the arbiter of "true spirituality?"

Who made you the judge of "the vast majority of people on the internet?"

These questions, if asked of me, always find me asking the person “What is their favorite sexual position?”

Seems only fair ~ one personal question deserves another.

We always do Christmas, but the kids were taught it's origins.

I believe in God.
The only Higher power.....

And not what others think I should beleive per their own beliefs...

And I don't believe in all the spin off series branches of christianity, nor the various bibles man has, created, cut, copied, added too, or deleted thruout the centuries to suit his own purposes or too create his own branches of christianity.

Usually done by those of influence seeking power or Benjamins for ages....


That answer your question????



Next!!!!!

By not reading it?

You got it………others don’t/won’t see it.

I’ll go with this answer as well.

I know if it was back in the day of me and my buds out trick or treating .

Those weren't eggs, they were Satan seeds

It's easy for a Reprobate to lie like this. /\
I have gained absolutely absolutely No revenue from this forum although anybody that deals with you deserves much payment for their trouble. My gospel IS FREE and based on the meritless kindness that God has to offer. It cost Him His life and you have fought against His proclamation of this since I joined the Campfire. FAITH IN THE SAVIOR, NOT YOUR WORTHLESS "GOOD" WORKS IS THE RIGHT RESPONSE.

BTW It's pronounced KAMP, Not kramp fire unless you have a speech impediment.

Happy, choosing between big Jim and you is no contest.

Why didn't you ever answer my question about "your" video that you posted?

II Timothy 3

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God"

So, is that ‘your’ video or not?
You’ve ducked that question a few times and your OP doesn’t take ownership.
Lies by omission………..

Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?

Good question.

There's all kinds of old and new Testament prohibitions that God gives against the pagan rituals that Halloween is based upon.

Extortion
Fear of devils
Darkness
Death
Satanism and the occult
Child sacrifices

According to the Bible, you and Wabigoon are smarter than those who despise wisdom and instruction from God's Word.

Proverb 1

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction."

He is a false prophet.

I already addressed that with this video.
https://youtu.be/TFLrH_2ojEU
The children are not satanists. Of course kids like to pretend and play dress up. Why must parents refuse to learn what God thinks about it?
Kids are the innocent victims of crimes throughout the ages.
They were burned alive by the evil druids to the demons they worshiped. There's a very sinister foundation to Halloween that parents and grandparents on the forum should be aware of. It is still a serious satanic unholy day celebrated by Satanists, witches, and various occult religions. They take it seriously. Using a cultural practice that parents raised by gt traditions doesn't change that fact. The devil does everything he can to influence the young to change society. Christians should shape society with God's Word and Good News, Not the devil and his followers.

Arkansas State Capital idol of satan with children looking up to him.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ourney-to-the-arkansas-capitol-building/

The guy in the video is a megapuzzy.

I'm not going to waste my afternoon with you Grammer police who twist everything the Christians say and lie boldly without so much as a blush. Just so I don't repeat myself, that goes to the Con man, Pole smoker, knine, rastaman and every unbeliever that wants to jump on the flaming hay wagon to defend satanism, Halloween, trick or treating from a thoroughly unchristian, perspective... uninvited on this Christian thread.

Calm down Happy, no need to get excited.

God called up his trusted servant Happy on the red phone and said Halloween makes him mad.

So………you fee you can define someone as an ‘unbeliever’?

Simple question; is that your video or not? You avoiding the question doesn’t make you seem very honest.

I’ll sleep just fine despite your ‘judgement’, since it has no weight in this life or the next.

Exactly what the idol sitting in the chair would say IF he could talk like you. He'll let you speak for him.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ourney-to-the-arkansas-capitol-building/

Kinda brings to mind writings about paths and one being wide and straight, the other narrow and difficult. Ever heard about something like that?

You are correct with the first definition, but no need for the "and."

"Straight" means narrow, not difficult. Context is comparing wide to narrow, but that's where the definition is about salvation through the one narrow way of Jesus the Good Shepherd.
The difficult works of religious rituals, behavior and the law are numerous. Jesus way is rejecting those ways and focus that object of faith upon that Shepherd, to follow the analogy.

Matthew 7
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."


Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

What JIm Con and others should do is quit making excuses for their refusal of Christ, like .....Christians are meanies and don't like me falsely accusing them, trolling and blaspheming their Savior....instead CHOOSE the one and only path that leads to the sheepfold.

This

You are a false prophet and no Christian.

Go back to your Westboro style revenue drive.

I can agree with that. I even acknowledge that Paul spoke a good bit of truth.

Antlers: You have a way with words. Thank you for entering this discussion. You and I don't completely agree but we both try to follow the real Jesus. I believe Jesus was exactly what and who he claimed to be. It is some of his self proclaimed friends I don't much like.

That was pretty dang good.

I answered it in the reposts and grammar correction if you care to read on this page. I posted the video and agree with it. No, I am not Pastor Roger and No you are not getting personal information.

If you read what is written, you will also learn the answer to your simple question with the simple answer. If you have further questions about this subject, I can be reached by PM.

I’m not wading through all the BS in these pages, nor do I want any of your personal information. I was simply curious if you were the Pastor in the video, yet not being transparent. You say you’re not, and I’ll take that at face value.
You have a better chance of seeing God than having me PM you about anything.

I figured it would get my personal quick response if you were sincerely wanting an answer. Otherwise, there would be half a dozen trolls or more I'd have to wade through to find your Q.
I was transparent and gave you a clear answer on THIS page.
I don't have to respond to all of those trolls to give them more ammo for free. They are like swine looking for scraps when you toss them pearls.

So, now Crappy Hamster has set himself up as the arbiter of who is a "true" Christian and who isn't, who is a reprobate and who isn't, as well as who is a sodomizer and who isn't.
In his TBI muddled brain he seems to think he's quite powerful.
His minions Old Hat, Ruger4Life seem to think a great reward awaits them for following this pathological lier to whatever end he meets.
Good Luck!

Not in Crappy Hamper's or OldBat's minds.

Why do you think anyone owes you an answer to such a personal question, especially knowing what kind of stupid ridicule you'll spout as an answer?
You're as clueless as Crappy Hamster.

Do you even know the origin and the true meaning of Samhaim, commonly known as All Saints Day, All Hallows Day, and the Feast of All Saints. Do you know what happens on that day? Obviously you don't, but as usual, the Church Religious propaganda pushers spew their ignorance in some kind of proclomation and call it Christian truth. But oh boy, when Christmas gets here they are all about Winter Solstice with some of them knowing it was not the birth of Christ. Sad, so so sad.

But Halloween is?

This thread will be a minimum of 50 pages.

Can we get more pictures of nasty girls in Halloween costumes?

LOL, Crappy's frothing at the mouth, foam all over his keyboard!

For the OP, lighten up, Francis. God knows your heart. Lots of bigger things to worry about. Like maybe all the hateful rhetoric posted online by some self described Christians. You might even have a splinter in your own eye.

With all of his repeat performances, is old hat one of uncle jag's socket puppets?

I get a cup of Joe, stand in front of the sink at sunrise, and I can tell when the Equinox is.



It's like my own personal Stonehenge or Nazga lines.

Does the statements of Jesus have any bearing on this world or the next?

John 3, Jesus said,

"That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

I base my definition on who is or who is not a believer on what the Bible says in this one book exactly 💯 times.

Jesus excludes those who think that their good deeds/ works have anything to do with the Free Gift of Eternal Life that He offers to you and to everyone with ears to hear and eyes to read it. Details posted everywhere I post. Hint.... signature...V

Christians get more than a little tired of the preacher making everyday Sunday, and being told the are going to hell because they may question parts of the serman...

There are more than a few who are saved, know they are sinners and don't need it shoved into their face on a daily basis by the HC's of the world who think they have all the answers..

HC started slow and with time and posts, eventually reached the point he had to make the majority of his posts related to his "ministry". He even added a few shooting posts, thinking it would make him more readily accepted....All so obvious.....

Why did those preachers want to kill you Crappy?

8/16/21 – (H.C. narrowly escapes death at the hands of preachers.)
“It reminds me of the time I was staying the week with some preachers while seeing a week at a Church near Fort Worth Texas. This was back when I taught Sunday school, but hadn't considered ever Preaching. At 3-4 AM I was woken up with a pillow crushed against my face and two of the preachers holding my arms down, so I would smother to death.”

Yes, he's quite the shooter!
He's also quite the pathological lier.

6/23/20 – (HC single handedly wins concealed carry law for West Virginia by praying.)
"I was invited to speak to the local Nazarene Church.
Had no idea that the denomination took that stand.
I used to carry concealed without the license. It was a big risk. One of my fellow ushers at the time came up to me to shake my hand and discreetly the other on my weapon to let me know that I was printing. I needed to use a different holster for summer carry.

Then started seriously praying for the Lord to intervene and motivate the state law makers to pass Vermont style carry laws, not just for handguns but for any weapons that God's people choose.

Guess what? He kindly responded to the request and we gained victory to do just that!!! Knives, batons, etc I was shocked!
He is very kind and we are fortunate that He is our King. Feel free contact me, PM, anytime you want to pray for that to happen in your state."

6/30/20 - (HC finds that an AR15 is too much for him to handle)
"I was told many moons ago that I shouldn't get an AR.
I was told that you can't put them in the mud and expect them to run like you can an AK.
Another did me the favor of letting me shoot his.
I'm plinking away, and after a magazine or two I'm wondering why my trigger finger is sore? That's never happened before.....
He told me that I must not be using it right.
Ok then, show me how it's done.
After seeing my trigger pulling technique was kosher, he said it's just something that I have to get used to.
I never got one to see if I could get used to trigger slap."

7/22/20 – (The first time 8 year old HC shoots a rifle, it’s a 15 shot one hole group at 100 paces with an 8mm Mauser.)
"Reminds me of getting yelled at my first time at a range. The first rifle that was put against my shoulder as an 8 y.o. boy was a 98 M in 8mm. My target had one hole after fully loading it around 3 times. It Made mom's second husband mad for wasting all that expensive ammo. Red face, yelling, cussing, not a good first experience. He thought I missed the target altogether until we went to get a close look. Not a bad rifle at 100 long paces."

And then.....






And he knew two others they killed prior....Now get ready....those Preachers were also medical Doctors who had killed others....

Amen to that, Brother Battue.

This is clearly paganism.

Bat,

You get tired of the evangelical messages once on a Sunday, but Not tired of the vicious Names my Savior is called throughout the entire week. That says something about us both.
There are Christians that listen and appreciate many of the messages I've been told. Those who don't want to listen, don't listen. It's normally posted Sunday and obvious by the title and by the video link.
It's not like there aren't a million other posts for you to choose from on non Biblical topics. I wish I had the same foreknowledge to know to not enter a thread with God's Name blasphemed.
I started posting sermons when most were home on Sundays due to the CV scare or a lack of good church in their areas.

You said, " Christians get more than a little tired of the preacher making everyday Sunday, and being told the are going to hell because they may question parts of the serman..."

Everyone sees that is a lie. They will not be deceived.
There is one sin that people go to hell for in spite of the tens of thousands that are committed.
Listen to the brief explanation in my signature.

They probably had the same damned spirits in them that is in YOU.

Conspiracy to commit murder?

Did HC pray for some tools or a socket set or something??

Did you or did you not get aroused whilst being manhandled by the clergy.

Yes, at one time believing the earth rotated about the sun was too.

Nevermind, that would qualify as TMI

I’ve noticed a pattern of this OP posting stuff I am not a fan of so the vast majority of the time I don’t even look.

When I do I find it interesting what I see.

Invariably you have HC doing his thing, and then there is a group of individuals saying that everyone is free to think whatever they want about religion, and that HC’s willingness to condemn people for their opinions means he is going to hell… or that there is a hot spot there for him… or something like that.

Let the circularity of that sink in please.

Its telling that people in a place that is predominantly Conservative/libertarian get caught up in this. We’re the ones who are supposed to stand for reasoned, civil debate at best, or at worst tolerance?

My parents repeated a mantra to me as a kid, “I may not agree with what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.”

Doesn’t seem to be the ideal anymore, especially for those who most doggedly claim open mindedness as a first principle.

In 70 yrs. I have known a lot of Preachers, whether radio, TV, or at a pulpit, from Catholic, to Methodist, Church of Christ, Nazarene, Lutheran, Episcopalian, Pentecostal, Baptist, and a few I'm sure I've left out. All them have had the same issue, Oh brothers, I was called to Preach. Yes sir, God called me.....................and to that I say BS, just as God said in Jeremiah 23. I have yet seen or heard a God called Preacher and I've come to the conclusion that in the Land of the Blind they do not exist. I do know lots and lots of Preachers who have destroyed and scattered the Sheep thinking they knew what they know the Word.

Please define "good church" so I can be sure all the ones in my area are fitting. I'm sure some will be deflated when I tell them their church is not "good" though.

And don't forget that infallible book claimed that God made the Sun stand still.

First thing first......
Find a pastor who believes and preaches the clear message of the gospel uncluttered by works. The details are in the first 18 verses of John and described below in the links.

I Corinthians 15:1-4
"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved,...For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures':

So now you purport to speak for everyone??

You're more FOS than a Christmas turkey, don't presume to speak for me or anyone else on here, it's painfully obvious that you don't speak for most of us.

\
Why would I want to follow a traitor, a Judas if you would?

Hint: I, and others apparently, don’t give a single sweet [bleep] about your signature, posts, or beliefs.
I’ll be judged accordingly at the end, as will you. All the preaching you do here won’t open the gates.

It's obvious that HC speaks for very few here, and fewer with every thread like this.
He's just a self absorbed, pompous, clueless, lier.
Self appointed judge of all things religious here.

Can I have the little one on the bottom? She cute.

OK, I'll go around and canvas them all, and get their answers...........................then run them by you to make sure the church they are preaching in is a "good church".

Maybe to save some time Geno, you could just find out if they are faithful followers of Brother Anderson.

Next Sunday Crappy will present a sermon on how the Devil is in the turkeys and the Pilgrims were Satanists.
The Salem Witch Trial judges were just practicing to become "Independent Baptists".

They should come up with a special symbol to put over the church doors?

Maybe for evening services they could use a spot light like one, similar to the Bat Signal?

Would save a fella from having to run around trying to figure out which was the "good church". A person might just spend all their life looking, only to find out they done run outa time.

Well it beats working for a living.

Very good points. From what I've read halloween is a pagan holiday. So I see no connection to it and the church. There seems to be a deeper problem in the church world today though. We have more programs for this or that and have elaborate and costly buildings yet our nation is diving deeper into sin. Many here opine the state of America and our gutless leaders and many of those same people tear into the OP as often as possible. So what can be done to fix what's wrong with America? The simple answer is an honest to goodness conversion that Jesus Christ died on the cross for. If everyone made Christ the center of their lives many of the problems we see would be gone. Now back to bashing whoever and forget about any honest debate about fixing things.

Maybe if they played that on loudspeakers like they used to play the bells at 6PM on the Catholic Church?

Or like the muezzin on the minaret?

We would know which church was a "good one" and just walk or drive over.

Those who are certain that they are the 4th member of the trinity do more to drive away, than attract.

Ouch!

6/23/20 – (HC single handedly wins concealed carry law for West Virginia by praying.)
"I was invited to speak to the local Nazarene Church.

I used to go commando without my shorts. It was a big risk. One of my fellow ushers at the time came up to me to shake my hand and discreetly the other on my dick to let me know that I was printing. I needed to use a different undies for summer.Then the Lord provided me with Duluth Trading Company shorts.My boys did not print anymore.Praise The Lord.

That's your job.
You asked a question and I can offer guidance from God's Word. I can't decide for you. Every decision is your own.
Im not the one who has to live in your shoes.

Who's that?

I’m getting a pumpkin this afternoon

Just to set it on my deck and what it transform into a pile of goo come a few hard freezes.

Maybe ask the other three.

I like pumpkins too, but they sure don't keep nearly as long as a good winter squash. I plan on chunking and sticking mine in the freezer tomorrow evening. Sometimes it's hard to tell when they are starting to go.

You made the accusation.
Who is claiming to be God?

Put a pie tin under it. If you leave one out until March, it kinda welds itself to whatever it sits on.

Or so I've been told.

So yours is a "spin off series branch".

You are also claiming to be an arbiter of correctness as well, obviously. You judge truth and fiction everyday in volume. This entire forum is one big sht show of people judging the rights and wrongs of society. The depth of ignorance on the campfire is stunning. People have no ability to self analyze their own words.

I don't ask because anything is "my business" ... "nanana boo boo". LOL I ask because it is obvious the forum is a crew of gad flies. No one here has any ability to logically support their own beliefs. They believe non sense and then cast stones at Christ.

Yes, I have told my loved ones that Christmas and Easter have pagan trappings. I already answered your second question.

My wife and I are debating on what to do with 3 nice fresh pumpkins we have now. We need to decide soon. I want to can some pumpkin pie filing, but she says it is way to much and a waste of time. She is always right. LOL

Why are you obsessed with this video?

We should only celebrate the day if Biteme or Hilry or Piglosi keels over.

Me or Flappy_Clamster?

Just helping you earn your martyr badge! 👍
You can thank me later.

Did you tell them that you are a lying piece of schit too? Suddenly you are all up on the Pagan....

It's about the truth you know.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Well done! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Holy schit!


Hahahahahaha!

Plain, unadulterated bullsh*t.

The only ones I'm "casting stones " at are you and happy. And you'll never find me criticizing or asking another to defend his spirituality. I'll leave that to you two.

They believe they are seated at the right hand of the Father.

No one here is casting stones at Christ. The stones are being cast at asshats like Crappy Hamper and you.
Why do you two keep lying about who these comments are aimed at when you know damned well who?

LMAO

He's kind of slow, doesn't pick up on things too quick.
It's all those brain injuries.

LoL!
Can't beat pumpkin pie. Just ask her to keep making pie filling for as many as it takes. You'll take care of the rest.
I don't like to can and will only freeze it to keep it right now. I just need to use it soon so there's room for game. At least that's the plan.

Happy be like, "let's just talk about pumpkins........".

All holidays are metaphorical... none are Godly or unGodly. If you believe a day or hour or minute or second or millisecond is more Godly than another, you are to invested in the physical over the spiritual. The following of Christ isn't a calendar or clock to circle or set the alarm on.

Anyway Halloween, today's halloween came from all souls day... souling and guising, masquerading as ghosts... poor accepting gifts to pray for the souls of dead relatives of the rich. This was church sponsored, there is no 'holiday' for satan or witchcraft. Trick or treating started and was pushed hard by the candy producers in the mid 1900s.

You are wrong about the origin. The origin of Samhain is Gaelic festival for the harvest and has to do with pagan Celtic festivals. In the 9th century the Irish who observed. The Church had shifted the date of All Saints' Day to 1 November, while 2 November later became All Souls' Day. Over time, it is believed that Samhain and All Saints'/All Souls' influenced each other, and eventually syncretised into the modern Halloween.Folklorists have used the name 'Samhain' to refer to Gaelic 'Halloween' customs up until the 19th century. Since the later 20th century, Celtic neopagans and Wiccans have observed Samhain, or something based on it, as a religious holiday. This is similar to Christmas which Constantine inserted into a pagan festival also. It is apparent that if the shepard's were watching their flocks by night as the story informs us of, that they would not be in the open fields during the coldest time of the year. They would be tending the flock in an enclosure at home.

Metaphors are symbols. That is why they are metaphors. The spiritual is all about symbols. This is very, very clear if you spend any time studying any/all religions. Symbols are used to communicate extensively. Halloween is not wrong because of the day or the second. Halloween is wrong because of what it signifies. satan comminicates in symbols. The occult communicates in symbols. He is all about profaning the simple things in life.

Dig deeper all souls day is a pagan knockoff involving the occult. It was added to satisfy the pagans. I gave the link above. It is easy to find. Goodfight ministries is a good start.

Dump Wikipedia.

And the Beetles, and Rolling Stones. After all, Sir Mic asked for sympathy for the Devil, we can't have that.

Was he?

Sound wisdom.

Does not all of creation…including the days themselves…display God’s design, power, and goodness…?

Does “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it” only apply to some days and not others, or does it apply to all days…?

No, that won't solve the problem. The problem will only be solved after he and his ilk browbeat every other parent into doing the same.

Hey AS. You’ve not been around for awhile. Hope all is good. Welcome back.

You know who Bart Ehrman is, and you know he’s an agnostic scholar whose writings frequently speak out against Christianity and its truth claims. He says “Whether we like it or not, Jesus certainly existed.”

Ehrman, Bart D. (2012). Did Jesus Exist?: The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth. HarperOne. ISBN 978-0062206442.

I was gonna give up on this thread.

Glad I didn't now!

And perhaps they're both acts for the obtaining of "fame", a component of "pride" which if I remember correctly is on some list of things which are big no-no's

And according to oral history recorded centuries later was probably an OK guy?

Did OldHat really say... The spiritual is all about symbols... holy chit... metaphorically... or maybe not metaphorically.

I hope kids have fun and get lots of candy.

Not sucky candy either...


I will probably hand out a dozen handfuls of 5 or 6 bars each kid.
Snickers, kit kats, Milky way.

Rest outta that big ole combat sized 20 dollar bag.
