How Christians Should Dress Up Their Kids For Halloween

Ephesians 6:11 (KJV)

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Halloween is a wile of the devil deviced to lure many Christians and their kids into worshipping him and to gain an early grip in their lives.

So Christians should not continue being ignorant of the devil's devices and keep dressing up their kids in demonic costumes in the name of Halloween.

Instead they should dress them up in the full armour of God, with the Helmet Of Salvation, Breastplate Of Righteousness, Belt of Truth, Shield of Faith, Shoes of Peace, and The Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, so they will learn to withstand the wiles of the devil early right from their childhood.

God bless.

Ancient Origins of Halloween

Halloween’s origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago, mostly in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1.

“This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31 they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth

You don’t need to preach to me. I’m a Christian too. I don’t celebrate Christmas to observe the winter solstice nor do I go to church on Sunday to worship the god of the sun. I do it for the same reason other Christian’s do.

But you have to know your history and don’t be unnecessarily defensive about it. We could’ve very well chosen the real date of Jesus’ birth to celebrate his birthday or worship on the day of sabbath as written in the Bible instead of letting a Roman emperor change it for us. And blindly we accepted to celebrate with the so called heathens and unbelievers.

I was born catholic. We celebrate All Saints and Souls’ Day. Two separate days of praying for the dead souls to find peace and rest. And praying to the saints to intercede on behalf of the living.

Halloween is a similar concept. They celebrate it on the eve of All Saints’ Day. The day people honor their lost loved ones, and put on costumes to “ward off” evil spirits. If so many Christians weren’t so up on their high horses, they’d recognize that many cultures have shared similarities with us. A lot of our practices we actually borrowed from them
grin Jesus is a scam. That’s where it all begins from.

You guys go to church on Sunday not the sabbath and celebrate the birthday of Jesus on the day of the pagan Winter Solstice Festival. Pls rest.
What you celebrate is more important than the day you celebrate. No day has more hours than the other. So the day I choose to do the right thing does not matter

Here u are condemning the Celtic Samhain while u accept the Celtic deity Esus or Hesus or Aesus. What is the difference between Jesus and Hesus?

If that is true, then, u would have considered shifting ur Christmas and Easter away from days celts celebrate their fertility deities like Ishitar and stop using their symbols like Christmas trees and flip flop lightings and Easter eggs. When will u people stop deceiving yourselfs?

Why not
Not every one celebrates Christmas on the 25th of Dec

Not everyone even celebrate new year on Jan 1

No one has the monopoly of the day...period. I can choose any day to celebrate whatever I believe, if it clashes with whatever you believe, it's not my fault. We all have access to the same day

grin U miss my meaning! Jesus has no link with scripture. Human beings like u and I started it. Not scripture.
The scriptural link is that there was never Jesus in the Bible until he was smuggled in.
Or how did the name Yehoshua become Jesus?

The feast of Christmas has a date. It’s a public holiday, if it falls on working days. It’s a church service day too. So u mean u go to work on the day? and u reject service on the day? or u don’t eat refreshments served by those celebrating the day? What u mean?

The proof is that a man’s name suddenly became another name. Yet everyone carries on as though they cannot notice a strange switch. How did Yehoshua turn to Jesus?

No, it’s ur answer that’s daft. Cos how come a name springs up in the New Testament that cannot be found in the name pool of the Old Testament? Where did the name Jesus come from? If you dodge my question this time around, then, I take it, you have conceded that it is from the Gaulish Esus, who was worshiped by impaling people to trees and stabbing them death wounds,

grin There is nothing simple about any answer you”l find.
Hebrew Yehoshua was abbreviated to Aramaic Yeshua in one of the most dubious manner ever imaginable.
Then Yeshua was TRANSLITERATED to Greek IESOUS Which is as meaningless as premium gibberish
From where IESOUS was further TRANSLITERATED to a more meaningless Latin IESUS, which was then TRANSLITERATED yet again to the most MEANINGLESS word on planet earth, English JESUS. Because what on earth does Jesus mean??
Now for those who do not understand transliteration. It’s attempting to rename a concept by the sound it makes to you. e.g when the Binis first got introduced to the Portuguese, they thought the name was Kpotoki. Then Kpotoki got transliterated to the Yoruba Kpataki. Both Kpotoki and Kpataki are as far from Portuguese as heaven is from the earth as to be MEANINGLESS.
But in the case of IESOUS, many believe, what the transliterators were trying to establish was really HAIL ZEUS. Since it’s naming based on sound. As for Jesus, they were probably trying to establish the Celtic Esus, or Hesus. Since Jesus in Welsh is Iesus .So, why should anyone’s name go thru such rigmarole if fraud is not intended?

■ You don't know bible The bible tell us Salvation is from the jews
John 4:22:"You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews."
■ Celebration of Jews Festivities Leviticus 23:2:
Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed festivals, the appointed festivals of the Lord, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.'" This verse outlines the importance of the Jewish festivals, which Christians can recognize as significant moments that foreshadow aspects of Christ's life and ministry
■ Any Christians that doesnt recognise Jews is going to Hellfire
1. Stop being silly! Jesus Christ, the same person you quote there equally made it abundantly clear that the Salvation He came to give belonged only to the Israelites(Jewish sects of Israel included). So, what has that to do with you, a non-Israelite? Or are you trying to tell us that you are of the bloodline of Jacob? undecided

2. Celebrations of the Jews Israelites Festival? Are you high? The details of the Festival you referenced are contained in the Books of the Law and nothing of that Festival suggests that the the dorning of customs. What is wrong with your people? Why must you inject your delusions into what is written every chance you get? undecided

3. The Hellfire was invented for your Christians by your pastors, right? This is because Jesus Christ said, again, that He was sent only to the Lost Sheep of Israel(those who are of the bloodline of Jacob) and not your Christian religion which is ruled over by those He said would trample that which is Holy— non-Israelites. undecided
