If you still celebrate December 25 as a holy day, then yes, you should abandon it. It is, as you say, naught but a Pagan holy day usurped by the papists to coerce Germans into being papists as well. Why do you think people have Christmas Trees? It was to appease the temperamental Goths (Germans), and make them think they were included in the Roman culture.

Butterfinger. Stinking amazing. And church of Christ as in, old fashioned beliefs and traditions. Difference is, I try to keep from instantly judging anything that i don't approve of as instantly satanic and anyone who thinks otherwise will burn in hell for having an opinion that disagrees with me. I look into it, use some common sense, then form my own opinion. Not.instantly.damn.it.

[Carl the wop]

What is this "opinion" you speak of? The Word of God is not subject to "opinion". It is sacred and inviolate, PERIOD.

How do you know it was on that day? Give me one scripture reference.

So, I should abandon the day I celebrate the birth of my Savior just because it happens to conincide with a pagan ritual from thousands of years ago?

From what chapter and verse in the Holy Bible do you read Jesus was born on the 25th of December?

Well that very much sums it up. If people would just stop trying to use common sense (which doesn’t even exist in the first place; prove me wrong by defining it), the world wouldn’t be such a God mocking place. If people wouldn’t constantly try to form their own opinions, they would stand a chance of NOT ending up in Hell. It’s really simple. It’s not like you have to use your confused brain to figure anything out yourself; it’s all written down for you in the Bible (KJV 1611). It’s all there!

He can't, Mary.. He's deflecting as any false prophet would do.

Hiding your identity, trespassing, begging for candy and disturbing the peace is "community strength building"? A strong community meets on Sunday afternoons for Bible Study and praise of Jesus Christ. It's been proven time and again.

I intend to call the police the second I see any miscreant juvenile delinquents in my yard.

What's wrong with Halloween? Slut-0-ween. They even make young girl slut costumes like catwoman and sexy nurse. If your daughter is a teen she is going to go out in one coverup costume and then strip down to her slut costume which isn't much more than a black bra and short skirt and maybe some blood makeup. It gets worse as your child becomes a young woman and gets addicted to this slut lifestyle and pretty soon everyday is slut-o-ween with your beautiful young daughter giving it away for a hot dog or a free slice of pizza.

A father's only option is to say NO to halloween and make the girl stay in for the night and do something productive like read the Bible together. No one does that enough these days.

I'm well aware He wasn't born then. It was sometime in the spring. I just celebrate it then with my family and friends then

What branch of Coc do you follow? It it the one that allows queers and women to preach or the better but still damned branch that believes in works for salvation and no instruments in church?

Revelation 12:7-9
7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Here you go. Prior to that he was called Lucifer.
