Go on

222Martins: I believe there is something wrong with halloween. How can we celebrate the dead when the bible said that the living and the dead have nothing in common. If you can spend a few hours to read the book "He came to set the captives free" by Rebecca Brown, you will understand the true significance of halloween.

JeSoul: I don't understand the point of halloween.

And this is not based on the "it has pagan roots" etc etc or else there is plenty in our lives (christians) we would not celebrate at all. Not everything has to be "scriptural" before you ban or not ban it.

My argument is on the surface, basic instinct - what is fun in the idea of celebrating terror, death, gore, blood, evil, horror, darkness etc etc?? I just don't see it. Our rational sensibilities would tell us that its odd - if not for society has accepted it as 'normal'. Someone will say its just fun for the kids to dress up & get candy - can't I give my kids candy without dressing them up in ridiculous looking costumes in the name of whatever?

^just my 2cents.

plappville: @OP, you have heard it, If you are a christian, protect your family from this devilish feast. "HALLOWEEN"

The society we live in today has initiated this feast in schools. But i thank God that My kids don't take part in thier feast.

I have made them understand it has no importance in thier lives so they are not to see it as fun.
They got some invitaions from thier friends, but i rejected the invitations.

I will take them to a better fun place while other children will be celebrating the dead saint days

I cant believe that I missed a chance to debunk Jesoul!


Jesoul is a christian that celebrates the brutal murder/sacrifice of a man Jesus christ. She goes on sunday to a Church that has the ghastly picture o a man nailed to a cross. Can you imagine the pain of being nailed to a cross?

Jesoul does all this ghastly things in the name of her religion, yet she has the mind to call Halloween "terror, death and gore"?


Jesus bled during his whipping and the placement of thorns on his head- gore

Jesus cried in terror "God, God why hast thou forsaken me?"- terror

Jesus died on the cross- death






.......logicboy, exposing religious hypocrisy since 2012......

manny4life: VERY HARMLESS. Just because it has scary themes doesn't add anything otherwise to it.

If you're in the DC area, and you have kids, I free "BOO at the ZOO" tickets for your kids...

dramenda: Halloween is evil,u need to see my street now,RIP SIGN, COFFIN , SKELETON n stuff, we nigerians in united state dont join them in celebrating it. that day is when enemy target themself, cctv cant identify nobody cus of the custume n stuff.

Logicboy03:


lol

dayokanu: Does Christmas not have a pagan root?

Is it not a celebration of the sun god?

plappville:

To me, Xmas and Halloween are wearing thesame shoe

plappville:

You dey abi? This one sweet you for body no be small

dayokanu:

So why are people who celebrate Xmas with pomp suddenly condemning Halloween as being a Pagan celebration

190-the-clown:
if halloween was done in NIGERIA

the real witches would intermingle with the fake ones and there would be blood bath everywhere

everything about Nigeria so backward

Omo Alata: Thanks. I've never thought it harmful as I know we don't worship satan in our house but as I've started studying the word more and praying more, I'm beginning to doubt some certain things we've allowed. For instance, on the 1st of January, there's a tradition that a man should enter the house first, he should be carrying coal and bread and this will signify wealth throughout the new year. It's called first-footing. We've been doing this yearly, on my insistence, with my husband bearing the goodies However, I have banned it henceforth since believing it's not scriptural And hubby is relieved

frosbel:

Well, I am not perfect, nobody is , many of these holidays are steeped in pagan tradition with the involvement of witchcraft etc.

Honestly, every person for themselves but I will never let my kids engage in this stuff.

Blessings.

chucky234: Thank God that Ghana man is finally relieved of carrying coal and bread for first-footing
