Bible Question: Shalom, brothers and sisters. I know that there has been a few questions already asked about what to do about halloween, for a christian. I do not think it is right for my family to participate. Some people will disagree. That is fine. I have been told I was being "cruel" to my sons for not letting them go trick or treating.Well... only in their eyes. My point is, if you get caught in a similar arguement, stand your ground.1Thess.5:22," Abstain from all appearance of evil". Praise the Lord for you all that are so willing to help everyone that posts on this site. God bless, michael.... |
Bible Answer: Michael, If you feel its wrong to participate in Halloween, then by all means you should not. If we do not listen to the Holy Spirit speaking to us and instead let others make decisions for us, then you will not make it very far. I to do not like most of halloween, my church has a thing they call Harvest Blast, the kids get to come and play games, and its a big family get together. Its free of all that scary stuff such as witches and ghosts and goblins. It doesn't really matter what others say, they might think you are cruel. I have family members who can't understand taht I refuse to lie to my children and tell them about Santa, but I chose to set a good example for them. I know it can get rough when others criticize your way of parenting, however just remember, God has allowed you to raise your children, don't take that for granted. Stand your ground brother. |
