Point I am making Brad, is your idol, on here seems to be sowing discord.
is it? because I view things differently its discord?
It can become stagnant, so I attack things differntly there etc.
and I do - doesn't mean its not true though does it?
I show you scripture, and you only bring up you opinion
show me scripture on the rabbit and eggs then - you can't of course. see, you're attacking character, not the issue at hand - I suspect because YOU were chasing the rabbit on Sunday too
One either believes in the Holy Bible or they don't Brad.
show me where its got Easter Egg hunting and the Rabbit then. You can't but you CAN trace the eggs back to the Pagan's that it originated from.
now, you want to talk about Scriptures and using pagan worshipping symbols and how that all ties together?
Ok, to answer a question, do i take my kids Trick-or-treating? No, actually, our church hosts a Kids Candy Carnival on Halloween evening at out local shopping mall. The kids come dressed in costumes, play games, get candy and other prizes, go through a maze, listen to a Christ based comedian or juggler, and just have fun.
sweet - so instead of using the pagan rituals in the community, you've turned the pagan rituals into something "fun" to do at church. sweet ..... uh, but there is one problem, you're still celebrating Halloween, just with a different twist.
Now that said, as Christians are we suppose to not do anything at all and isolate our kids and not participate etc?
The Chrisitian in me says yes, thats exactly what we're suppose to do. I mean, its not biblical in any way, shape or form, is it?
Bottom line, you want your cake and eat it too, don't you? You want everything that non-Christians do, and make believe Chrisitians do, but you want to self justify it so you can do it and not feel badly about it?
Right?
I just don't know that it works that way.
I'm leaving for home, my day is done. I'll leave this one alone, it doesn't belong inte compoundforum anyway
