There is nothing in the Bible that is anti-Halloween since Halloween wasn't known about during Bible times. Any mention of witches in the Bible has nothing to do with Halloween. Please instead research the history and meaning of Halloween and All Saints' Day to find out the reason for the witches and such.
Also, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on Halloween, 1517. Find out why.

The Bible is most definitely against all that Halloween is about.
Interesting post considering your avatar is a representation of a devil.Quote:

We still live for eternity. Where in eternity is another question.Quote:

Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake. 11 Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Egyptian magicians also did the same things by their secret arts: 12 Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs. 13 Yet Pharaoh's heart became hard and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.
For a belief to be true or false, there must be fact to substantiate either claim. There simply is no human being who is qualified to declare other peoples' religious beliefs as true or false.
It's surprising that supposedly intelligent people can make such asinine statements.
Sorry, Charlie. You're telling that to the wrong person. I lucked out being born on Luther's birthday, so the story of his nailing of the 95 theses and the meaning of Halloween was a story entwined with the story of my birth, told by my minister father. (My birthday's next week, so don't forget to send me a card!)Quote:

Man IS a living soul means man = soul.
So you're saying you agree with me? If someone believes that there's a soul within them, something that departs their body and floats off somewhere, that belief is contrary to what the Bible has to say.Quote:

Silentrascal = soul. WG = soul. You and I are distinct and separate persons; you and I are distinct and separate souls.
A soul is not a thing, not a three-dimensional object like a liver or a kidney but is an immaterial entity. It is who you are.
Some of these answers are getting way out of hand. I have been searching my Bible for some text to support my question and so far I found "Acts 8: 9-24". Can any one else locate some similar texts?
Deut 18:10-12Quote:

Ex 22:18

Acts 13:6-9
6 Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus, 7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
NKJV
So if you find such a person you are compelled to kill her?Quote:
