God said he reveals things to us in part so each body of Christ member knows in part

No one is contradicting another you just use God's words to further Jesus good news that is the main goal

And God word is sharper than two egde sword it means it two way stream

Bible shows that celebritng special days or not celebrating it is a personal choice so it not a sin

Bible also shows that some people think certain days are special and other people think all days are the same
So each person should decide the one he wants to accept because it not a sin to do any of them.
And it not a sin not to do it

So this shows if you want to believe in, celebrating Christmas or sabbath day or new year or birthdays

It is your choice non of them is a sin bible says Jesus is greater than all those things

And those days event were created by God and men to serve you to rest on those days and it not for you to force people to believe in it..

Dude doing Halloween for fun to scare people to put fear in them
Is not a big deal

After all fear has little advantages it will make you move closer to God and pray...

It is worshipping the Halloween
That is a sin.

So
Halloween celebration not a big deal

Examples Jesus was walking on water and he probably was shining on top of the water because his disciples taught he was a spirit and they were so afraid until Jesus told them to calm down that it was him... Fear makes people to cry to God for safety...


So note the difference

God even wants to lead you to the valley of shadow of darkness to show you nothing can harm you

Explain what Paul meant in this verses:

No; but I say that what the nations sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers with the demons. 1 Corinthians 10:20

Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness? Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Beʹli·al? Or what does a believer share in common with an unbeliever? 2 Corinthians 6:14-15


Is Halloween celebration for God or demons? smiley

Note
the secret of that verse lays in this point

but I say that what the nations sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God;

Now Paul is stating that first the
Old Covenant animals sacrifice have been done away with after Jesus died and rose up

So any new sacrifice of animal to any thing is a sacrifice to demons

So paul is saying some nations still practice this sacrifice and
HE saying it is a sacrifice to demon

So tell me is there any Halloween celebration that they tell you to bring animals so they can sacrifice it to an altar during Halloween celebration

So is it only animal blood that's involved in what is called "SACRIFICE"?

What about time, energy and resources?

Guy SACRIFICES involves much more than just animal blood people SPEND time, energy and resources during any festivals all SACRIFICED to whatever they call it!

Yes

As long as it not animals or human blood sacrifice that is not a sin

If you include time and energy and resources as sacrificing characteristics then

That means going to work is a sacrifice to demon

And watching football is a sacrifice to demons and staying online on the Internet is Also a sacrifice to demon

So you must seperate this events and blood own

Only adding blood to an altar that is dedicated to devil is what demonic sacrifice means

You must understand the difference

Sorry o, so people shouldn't do anything simply because Halloween is paganism shey?

Guy go and preach your god to people out there don't forget to tell them that Halloween is not wrong according to your god so far it doesn't involve animal sacrifice! cheesy

Halloween
Is not wrong it is not a sin

But worshipping Halloween
Is wrong it is a sin

So trying to put everything as paganism
Will make you stay inside the house forever you will fear any event and any thing you see in the world

And that is a wrong way to live life

Do you know all the days of the week Monday Sunday is a paganism name

Some good music is paganism name even some food is

Many event which we do without knowing it source what made it pupolar is from paganism in the past

So if you continue to investigate you will see many pagan events you have done without knowing it from paganism activities

So that why you will even see Paul saying in the bible that the Jews should not force new believers to follow that nonsense laws of touch not and taste not laws

Which no one could keep in the past

Jesus has set us free from all those paganism
Events and sheed his blood once and for all
So we can be free from those things

So they no longer have any power even if the place you live in do those events

Paul even said those demons sacrifice no longer have power over child of God in another verse and they are actually nothing to us

So if you want continue to think paganism
Without blood is sin

It up to you...

Then for you saying days
Should be a sin because that Monday is the day to worship morning god

Sunday is a day for sun god

Saturday is the earth god

Etc

Good luck in that

Read 1 Corinthians 8:1-8
Let me use it to explain

Note the ones in bracket ((()))
I add for easy explanation because they are related to the thing in the bible

1 Corinthians 8 :1-8


8
1.Now regarding your question about food that has been offered to idols. Yes, we know that “we all have knowledge” about this issue. But while knowledge makes us feel important,
it is love that strengthens the church.

2 Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn’t really know very much.

3 But the person who loves God is the one whom God recognizes.

4 So, what about eating meat that has been offered to idols?

((or doing Halloween or Masquerade festival))

Well, we all know that an idol

((or Halloween or Masquerade festival))

is not really a god and that there is only one God.

5 There may be so-called gods both in heaven and on earth, and some people actually worship many gods and many lords.

6 But for us,

There is one God, the Father,
by whom all things were created,
and for whom we live.
And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom all things were created,
and through whom we live.

7 However, not all believers
..... Like ((MaxInDHouse))

know this. Some are accustomed to thinking of idols as being real, so when they eat food
that has been offered to idols, they think of it as the worship of real gods, and their weak consciences are violated.

8 It’s true that we can’t win God’s approval by what we eat.
Or by ((doing Halloween or Masquerade festival))
We don’t lose anything if we don’t eat it,
((Or if we don't do Halloween or Masquerade festival))
and we don’t gain anything if we do.

That perverted thinking

Now God spoke and physical world appeared from inside God

So the word of God is so powerful that when he speaks physical things appears

That is the same way he prepared Jesus body

He spoke and the body of Jesus appeared in the womb of Mary

If you are an African even ordinary herbalist can hold a drink and make some incantation and poison will appear in that drink and when you drink a sealed bottle you won't know poison is inside it

That principles they got it from God's power

So there is no sperms involved in preparing Jesus body
