   “So, you do not believe you should be held to a higher standard?”

   We are all held to the same standard. And we all fail to meet that standard and therefore need to be redeemed by the only human to have ever actually met that standard. There is no higher or lower standard.

   Having any standard to which I must “meet” is legalism.

   Gal 3:1-5

   I did not come to Christ that way and I can not continue with Christ that way.
   1You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? 3Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? 4Have you suffered so much for nothing—if it really was for nothing? 5Does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law, or because you believe what you heard?

   jsm,

   Yes, the “standard” is Yahshua and it cannot be met on our own. That is the higher “standard” I speak of. Just because we cannot meet His standard, it does not give us license to not even try. For years I had to endure WWJD. When asked, “how do you do this”, I would get all kinds of crazy answers. It was rare when I found someone even trying to live like Jesus and doing what he would do. Alas, if you can – with a straight face – state Jesus would participate in halloween, we can end this debate and I will concede the point that Paul is giving us license as well.

    One year, we cut a hole in the top of a cardboard box and put it over my daughter’s head. We attached an empty dryer sheet box and some clothes. We cut a circular “door” in the front and drew on some knobs. She went as a dryer. It was really a hit.

    You know, if we are talking about an engineer this all would be moot. If someone said they were an engineer but never took a class, was degreed or never worked a day in his/her life as an engineer – it would be no problem calling them out and being “judgemental”.

    What I can say with a straight face is: 1. Jesus didn’t get caught up in stuff like this.

    2. I will never speculate on would Jesus do this and not do that.

    3. And that there is freedom in Christianity to or not to participate in matters like Halloween without being condemned.

    The idea that you can decide that Jesus would or would not participate in a thing and then judge other’s behaviors is again quite judgemental soap.

    I have no idea if Jesus would participate in Halloween. Neither do you.

    But we can know clearly that Paul has left it up to us AND the criteria is if it causes a brother or sister to stumble not fear of “paganism”.

    Its both soap. Nothing awkward about it. Read the Gospels. Jesus not only didn’t get caught up in stuff like this the one’s trying to get him trapped in stuff like this were the Pharisees and the Saducees. His enemies that had Him crucified.

    There is no speculation to that obervation. Matthew records several of the attempts by the religious leaders of Jesus’ day to trap him in issues like this.

    So are you trying follow the practice of the Pharisees or a Saducees soap?

    Make up scenarios to trap a person?

    You nor I have any idea what Jesus would do in regards to giving out candy on Halloween.

    But please if you have some inspiration prophecy or revelation about that I for one would like to hear it.

    Nope, nothing awkward about it.

    Not trying to trap you on anything. Again, which of the two of us is judgemental? I simply asked you simple questions.

    Also, you now imply I do not read or know the scriptures.

    Please, continue, who is judgemental?

    Look, it is simple. For me, it beats me how “Christians” can participate in a pagan holiday. It is down on my list (like chap) of things that make me wonder. Near the top is how “Christians” can defend abortion.

    Will not handing out candy to children dressed as the dead (or in other costumes) cause them to stumble? No. Do I believe the Savior would participate? No. Does that cause you to stumble? If so, it is you and not me who is having a real issue here. I do not believe the Savior would participate in a pagan holiday. You can label me (again with the judgements) as anything you want – I am okay with it.

    I agree we just disagree.

    “Not trying to trap you on anything.”

    Sorry but asking a person “What do you think Jesus would do…” is most certainly a trap.

    You do what your faith allows you to do soap. And if my handing out candy does not cause you to stumble then I will do as my faith allows me to do.

    I do not control my behavior based on fear of anything pagan.

    Jesus won.

    There is nothing about any day in particular that means anything. Whether one participates in that day or does not one’s participation or non-participation means nothing. Christianity is not about days, holidays, rules, nor legalism.

    I am free and am so to or to not participate in matters like Halloween. My participation or my withdrawal is based on the impact my doing so, or not doing so, has on others.

    If you are not going to stumble, hey, I’m giving out candy.

    You are quite judgemental in your presentation about the matter. Wish you the best of luck however I do not expect you to see your own judgementalism.

When zombies and vampires knock on your door demanding something of yours for nothing and threaten harm if you don’t hand something to them one night per year, it’s fun- more than that is tyranny.

    We’re dressing up our boys to make an appearance at some neighborhood friends’ houses: the two year old as a lion and our 10 week old as a cow. It’s fun that my wife has a bunch of siblings b/c we get good hand-me-down costumes. I guess I’m cheap- I’d never pay the retail price for them.

    In any case, I don’t bother arguing with people, & I think as long as kids are told that it’s a silly tradition that is not to be taken seriously, I doubt its going to turn any of them against God.

    Except its not true. Same name, different person.
    

    A lot of people visit the White House, up to 100,000 each month, with many of those folks coming to tour the buildings. Given this large amount of data, the records we are publishing today include a few “false positives” – names that make you think of a well-known person, but are actually someone else. In September, requests were submitted for the names of some famous or controversial figures (for example Michael Jordan, William Ayers, Michael Moore, Jeremiah Wright, Robert Kelly (“R. Kelly”), and Malik Shabazz). The well-known individuals with those names never actually came to the White House. Nevertheless, we were asked for those names and so we have included records for those individuals who were here and share the same names.

    Samhain Eve, in Irish and Scots Gaelic, Oidhche Shamhna, is one of the principal festivals of the Celtic calendar, and is thought to fall on or around the 31st of October. It represents the final harvest. In modern Ireland and Scotland, the name by which Halloween is known in the Gaelic language is still “Oíche/Oidhche Shamhna”.

    Bonfires played a large part in the festivities. Even into Christian times, villagers cast the bones of the slaughtered cattle upon the flames, cattle having a prominent place in the pre-Christian Gaelic world. Though a folk etymology derives the English word “bonfire” from these “bone fires,” the Gaelic has no such parallel. With the bonfire ablaze, the villagers extinguished all other fires. Each family then solemnly lit their hearth from the common flame, thus bonding the families of the village together.

    Tonight on 10/30 and gobs of kids go get lots of goodies with the trick or treat. The kids can go as a ‘good witch’ or a ‘bad witch’ Most of our Republic will go for the good, but bho and team are the bad! Do you want the candy of the good to save our Republic? The candy is a nice thing to get all to get into what this bho and team has in store, but your teeth will rot out from the ‘sugar’.

    No, that would be zeroangel. Actually he already creates Hell on earth.

    Look, I know why you are still sore. There’s really no need to be.

    Not so much. He just lives in it and can’t stand folks who don’t.

    Hah! I’m not the one that talks to an imaginary friend.

    Sybil:

    Speaking of Zeroangel…where is he? Haven’t heard from him in quite a while now. Not that that is a bad thing!

    I stayed home tonight, as my husband went to the Gopher game. It is 38 degrees and I was not about to sit in the new outdoor stadium and freeze my a$$ off. That is just crazy. Anyway, I just turned off the porch light. I had exactly two visits all evening. The first was a tiny witch about two years old. The other was two tiny witches about 4 years old. That was it. Years past, we used to have dozens of kids running across the lawns, screaming and giggling and having a blast. No more. Door-to-door trick or treating is just about a thing of the past. Sigh. And what do I do with all this candy???

    Yes, you probably should break out your garlic and magic talismans. You have to be a pretty high-level cleric though for turn-ahead to work on a fiend like me.

    Hey Roland:

    I pointed out that she said something bigoted and rather than recognize that and apologize for her behavior she got indignant and annoyed.

    Happy Halloween everyone!

    We got 8 kids – we usually get 30 to 40. I suspect that the low turnout had to do with the high frequency of flashing blue lights in my area resulting from a greater than usual number of teenage idiots cruising around causing trouble.

    Hi Everyone,

    Yes, I know it’s not Halloween but I just wanted to let you know how much fun I had last night. In my Colorado Springs neighborhood, had about 30-40 kids come by for some candy. Had about 2-4 kids come by, no costume, for a candy handout. How lame. If you’re not gonna dress up, don’t come to my house.

    Anybody else have this problem? Kids, too lazy and entitled to dress up, coming by to trick or treat? How did you handle it? What did you say to the kid(s)?

    I also had fun baking a nice Wilton’s Jack O’ Lantern cake. I’m about to take the Course 1 Cake Decorating course and making the cake is practice. It turned out great! I was really happy with it.

    Hope everybody had a happy and safe Halloween!

    The Pentagon announced TODAY the formation of a new 500-man elite fighting unit called the United States Redneck Special Forces (USRSF)

    These boys will be dropped off in Afghanistan and have been given only the following facts about terrorists:

    1. The season opened today.
    2. There is no limit.
    3. They taste just like chicken.
    4. They don’t like beer, pickups, country music or Jesus.
    5. They are directly responsible for the death of Dale Earnhardt.

    The Pentagon expects the problem in Afghanistan to be over by Friday.
