We are warned about halloween from the East and the West…but most of all…we are warned about halloween by our conscience. This will also be my last post on this subject since the thread has descended into a series of insults. Like Portrait, I have made my stance very clear. I will end…not by using my own words…but by summarizing what I have posted in the past using the words of: A saint from the Eastern Orthodox Church…direction from a bishop in the Coptic Orthodox Church…and the words of a Vatican priest and Liturgical expert from the Latin Catholic Church.

It is clear that we, as Orthodox Christians, cannot participate in this event (Halloween) at any level (even if we only label it as “fun”)…
St Nikolai Velimirovic

The effect is especially dangerous for our children. By normalizing evil in society, Halloween makes the power of Satan more relatable to them. It very well may be that most children today know nothing of Halloween’s pagan origin, but the fact remains that the normalization of evil is creeping into the collective conscience of our children. People may say that the form of evil depicted in Halloween is “cute” and “innocent,” but we respond with St. Paul’s teaching to “abstain from every form of evil” (1 Thessalonians 5:22).

That’s three people down. Only thousands and thousands more to verify. 😉
 
So basically everyone’s going to hell except for you, right Mickey? I’m sorry…with all due respect, your judgmental attitude is really, really getting annoying.:mad:

The key words are “i think”. I know you want to be non bias but this “I will find out” connected to lost souls is too shaky and had intent.
 
…hoping no one has forgotten that October 31st is the eve of All Saints Day … 👍
