No Pagan rituals incorporated into Christian holidays, huh?
There goes Christmas and Easter!
Interesting side note, I ALWAYS had a problem with the whole Easter Bunny/Santa Claus bits when I was a believer. I thought they were sacrilegious. And that was even before I knew their roots and how 12/25 was just the agreed to date to convert more believers from the Pagans.
As far as the party question, It depends on who was throwing it. Jesus would go to a sinners house for dinner and chastize the religous for throwing one. figu
Spiritual goatee reminds me of when a gay man doesn't want to be known as a homosexual and brings a woman along as his "date" or companion for an event. She is known as the gay man's "beard".
Good observation Chris, that we must step back from ourselves with introspect and see if we're hiding behind anything to excuse sin or compromise in our lives.
Hopefully this doesn't seem like a dumb question, but what are your thoughts on Valentines Day? I've heard some Christians say it's just a way to sell sex, or something like that. I don't really care either way, don't really need a holiday to remember I love my wife lol anyway great vid, good message.
God even knows the things no one on this planet knows about me. Not only because he is all knowning but because I believe he is the only one to share those things with. I tend to hide from people, I can't and wont hide from god though, I hope.
And I do agree that Jesus would probably not sugar coat events like Halloween. I really would like to see his reaction to trick or treating kids though. What would he tell them? Would he just give them candy as I did this Halloween? Would he correct them?
It's always the lack of knowledge of the father that leads to family's spiritual corruption. After all, he's the head of the family.
We think we've the right to put the blame on our children when they disobey us... Think again. WHO ARE THE ONES WHO FIRST LETS THEM DISOBEY? The character of a child is normally formed at the age of 7-9. We let them actually MANIPULATE our families!
We don't train our children ===>
WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE ANGRY WITH THEM FOR OUR OWN MISTAKES!
Well of course most people dont consider it satanic, which is why its accepted.
Maybe jesus would not have tossed the people out of that church.....maybe he would have just told you to not be like them and place no emphasis on such things. Like one who abstains from meat and one who doesn't. One who thinks sex is holy and one who thinks celebacy is holy. Surely there is more depth to truth than these things.
You know the bible does refer to Pagans as 'God fearers'.

HalleluYAH Our Father.
Mat 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
Mat 15:1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
Mat 15:2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Mat 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

Chris,
Before you say anything as to my last comment, please watch this sermon by Paul Washer concerning basically our children's spiritual growth:
Educating, Training & Disciplining Your Children - Washer
Just copy that title above and search it, it should be uploaded by Tim Conway, also known as " I'll be honest ".
GOD BLESS YOU
