Halloween is the best holiday.

Jesus used to do it so why is it a sin?

very nice! thank you for this message.

Excellent content on this topic ..

Great video!

Joyce Meyers got two tattoos one on her shoulder, and another one down around her ankles somewhere.

I was saying that about people who justify any kind of tattoos being a teardrop your child's name, I've seen people get scriptures tattooed on their body like their glorifying the Most High it was sickening.

I can't stand them, I always thought they make people look dirty. I never had any desire to get tattoos and all those body piercings. They are gateways for the demonic possession. Along with other things

Ask yourself: Does All Hallows' Eve celebrate Christians?

Many people tend to associate modern Halloween with three things: The old Celtic celebration of Samhain (asserting that most of Halloween’s customs originate with ancient Samhain celebrations); Satanism (asserting that Halloween’s origins are Satanic, as evidenced by the many Satanists who use this day to promote their beliefs); and All Saints Day (asserting that the early church established the holiday to “Christianize” Samhain). Let’s delve into the world of historical fact… It seems no matter where you look, from various educational websites to entries in dictionaries and encyclopedias, and even in (some) scholarly articles, Halloween is always connected to the ancient Gaelic celebration of Samhain (that’s ‘SAH-wen’). And, of course, that comes with the full gambit of all the myths, legends and lore that have surrounded the holiday for well over 1.000 years. I’m sure you’ve heard some of these before….. “Halloween is the worship of the devil! Halloween comes from heathen roots! Trick or Treat comes from an ancient pagan custom: Satanic worshiping Druids would go from house to house seeking a virgin to sacrifice! If you complied, they left a jack-o-lantern outside your door with a candle inside … made from human fat! If you did not comply, a terrible ‘trick’ would be played on you! The Catholic Church perpetuated the pagan legends with its Feast of All Saints. If you let your kids celebrate Halloween, you expose them to the possibility of demonic possession!”, etc., etc., etc. ad nauseum. But don’t these facts about Halloween’s origins prove that it is an abomination? The question that arises is, is this connection between Halloween and Samhain legitimate, and are all these “facts” about it actually true? For a serious researcher, perhaps the most difficult aspect of researching these various origins, traditions, and assumed ‘truths’ about Halloween, is sifting through all the data and separating what is historical _fact_ from the myth, legend, and, frankly, religious paranoia of what is historical _fiction._ It’s not an easy task. Indeed, what makes this even more difficult, is that so many of these ‘’facts”, suppositions, and assumptions are so ill-researched and have been repeated for so long, that they have essentially become accepted as truth. As I previously noted, one can find these asserted ‘facts’ in everything ranging from various educational websites to entries in dictionaries and encyclopedias, and even in (some) scholarly articles. What we find after close examination and scrutiny, however, is that the accepted origin of most Halloween traditions/beliefs comes from the latter (historical fiction), rather than the former (historical fact). Completely contrary to what many would have one believe, Halloween is _not_ a holiday that has close ties to the ancient past, nor does it have some ‘pagan’ antecedent, nor is it a continuation of several ancient pre-Christian customs. The truth is, to say Halloween’s connections to ancient Samhain, or anything “ancient” for that matter, are, at best, extremely tenuous, would be grossly overstating the facts. A direct connection between Halloween and Samhain has never been proven. Least of all with any legitimate satisfactory evidence to back the claim. Halloween just does not have the “pagan precedent” so many people seem to desperately want it to. Even the concept of ‘Trick or Treat’ is a relatively new phenomenon, originating from right here in the USA from about the 1920’s or so, and represents a mix of cultures, capitalism, and accommodation. To be completely fair, a few customs associated with Halloween do have a very old past; most notably, the carving of root vegetables and bobbing for apples. Without going into all the lengthy details, the carving of root vegetables dates to around the 1700’s - it’s just not historically attested any earlier than that. Bobbing for apples is a fall activity not specifically connected to Halloween, and comes from a British woman’s courting custom historically attested to about the 1300’s. Neither custom is associated with, nor can they be historically attested back to, Samhain. The simple truth is, what we definitively know about Samhain, facts that can be historically documented, would fill about a page and a half of paper. What is definitively known about Samhain (that's SAH-wen, BTW) would fit on about a page and a half of paper. What gets passed around the Internet as “history” and “fact” is mostly speculation and utter nonsense. The primary source of what is known comes from the books of the Ulster Cycle. By most historical accounts, Samhain proper was preceded by three days, and followed by three days. In some accounts it’s only a three-day celebration (not a seven day). Samhain seems to have been a time to prepare for winter, to welcome in the dark half of the year, cull the herds and celebrate the final harvest of the year. One particular activity that these old Gaelic texts seem to suggest was very popular at Samhain was…. horse racing. That sounds a lot like many European holidays today from October-January. The texts also speak of it as a time to pay tithings, gather taxes, and the holding of a judicial assembly (much like the Manx ‘Tynwald Day’). There is zero evidence that it was a religious observance, that it entailed any ritual, that it was a celebration of the dead, or that it opened the Celtic year. Anything else asserted to be associated with Samhain is either pure wishful thinking or absolute nonsense. Masks, costumes, trick or treating, Halloween games etc. all either have known traditional Christian origins or simply cannot be linked to anything definitely pre-Christian. I was hesitant to include this, but since it does play a part in the subject of this discussion, let’s take a closer look at it: the assertion that Christian All Saints Day/All Souls Day replaced Gaelic Samhain. To state it briefly, the date of 1. November for All Saint's Day was practiced in continental Europe _long_ before the date was formerly fixed by the Church to November 1st, and _long_ before said change got to what is now the UK & Ireland; which was _centuries_ after the time of Druids and Samhain proper. In addition, most people are not aware that Samhain itself is a _movable_ feast day; the exact date varies from year to year depending on when the autumnal equinox and winter solstice fall. In 2020, Samhain proper fell on 6/7 Nov. Samhain sems to have been associated with the ‘Seven Sisters’, the Pleiades - it is said to have occurred at the culmination of the Pleiades (when they reach the highest point in the sky). In modern times that equates to about 21.November, but in more ancient times, due to changes in the calendar, to 1.November (currently 6/7 November). To assert that the establishment of All Saint’s Day (and All Souls Day on 2.NOV) was the early church’s attempt to “Christianize Samhain” just does not stand to reason. Think about this logically for a moment, why would the church change a major feast day affecting _all_ of Western Christendom just to accommodate a small group of Christians who lived on, what would be considered at that time, some remote group of islands in the middle of nowhere, centuries after Druids and the observance of Samhain? One scholar has suggested that November 1st may have been chosen simply so that the many pilgrims who traveled to Rome to commemorate the saints “could be fed more easily after the harvest than in the spring (when it was originally celebrated).” That certainly does not seem out of the realm of possibility. Though this may not have been the predominant reason, I’d be willing to bet it was taken into consideration and was a contributing factor in the change. All three holidays, Halloween, All Saint’s Day, and Samhain share a common date and perhaps a “feeling”, but that’s really about it. Indeed, so much of Halloween “feels” Pagan that attempts to connect those things to ancient Samhain simply “feels right”.

PART 2 Ah, but what about all those Satanists out there?? After all, as some people will be quick to remind, the author of the Satanic Bible himself even said "I am glad that Christian parents let their children worship the devil at least one night out of the year.” Hard to argue about that! Halloween's association with Satanic worship and practices though real, is a very *modern* phenomena (1960's to present), and, of course, has zero connection to the pre-Christian Celtic holiday Samhain. Most people do not realize that the connection here is no more than 50-60 years old. For those who observe Samhain, Satanists are regarded with just as much disgust and disdain, indeed, if not more so, than Christians regard them - Satanists are responsible for appropriating this day to not only promulgate their beliefs, but to completely twist the day into something it simply never was. *Not* to defend them in _any way,_ but, again, to be completely fair, it should be noted that most supposed practices of these groups are, again, based upon complete misinformation and supposition: not actual fact. Many of their assumed and supposed practices stem from the so-called “Satanic Panic”, a conspiracy theory that swept across America in the 1980’s and early 90’s. It seems however, that some Christian denominations are doing their darndest to bring it back. Interviews and ‘testimonies’ from ‘Satanic Panic’ holdovers, as well as newcomers such as John Ramirez, and so-called, self-styled, ‘ex-witches/ex-Satanists” are just one of many examples. Others, such as the late Anton LeVey, completely capitalized to the extreme on people’s fear and assumptions about Satanism. LeVey’s brand of Satanism actually had nothing to do with Satan at all. LeVey was an atheist; his brand of Satanism is an atheistic philosophy and is not at all theological. There is little to no evidence that he ever gave the (in)famous quote attributed to him. It’s an urban legend that originated with certain Christian groups. It’s only among some of these certain groups that the quote can be found. If he actually said it, he was probably being sarcastic. He took full advantage of an opportunity to capitalize on some people’s fear and assumptions about Halloween and, more to the point, Satanism. Not to defend him in any way, but it should further be noted, that LaVey _explicitly_ condemned, amongst other things, the harming of children and animal sacrifice. Again, that’s just documented fact. And, of course, there are also without fail, those Christian denominations that seem fixated on associating the holiday with the Devil/Satan. As with the association of Halloween with Samhain, for these individuals, it somehow just “feels right”. As in the secular world, the majority of their conclusions come from material which has clearly not been researched (at times, rather painfully so) and largely based upon misguided fear and assumptions. These assumptions are repeated over and over again, year after year, until they are taken by the faithful and accepted as ‘gospel truth’. This rhetoric is often accompanied by various Bible passages (Ephesians, Deuteronomy and Corinthians seem to be favorites) which have been taken completely out of historical and cultural context, to evidence and confirm their misinformed suppositions. One of the things that one inevitably sees are videos that ask, “Can a Christian celebrate Halloween?” and open that with “What does the Bible say?” Let’s be honest here, the Bible says absolutely zero about Halloween - accept that. Don’t cherry pick verses taken completely out of cultural and historical context and try to make them fit. Further, the verses used typically refer not to the historical facts concerning the origins of the holiday, but rather the legend, lore, assumptions and myths that surround it. Moving on, many will be quick to argue that Halloween is a day which “glorifies evil” or does “not glorify God”. When one participates in Halloween, one is not participating in ‘evil’ or ‘death’ per se; rather one of the points of the modern holiday is to mock these things. I think that’s a major point many people seem to completely miss or not quite understand. On another philosophical/psychological level, it allows people to explore their “darker side/psyche”, if you will. A time to explore a side of themselves they would not normally expose or perhaps even consider. It’s a part of being human. I somehow don’t think God would object to humans being human. It is a time to play on a few of the basic/core fears of man - fear of what lurks in the dark, and fear of death - the aspects of these fears that people just don’t like to think about, are now exposed for all to ‘see’ and ‘experience’. A sort of annual self-check to make sure that part of our humanity is still there, so to speak. In the end, most people realize it for what it is. As one commenter puts it from an Orthodox Christian view - “This smear campaign against Halloween, in which it has been scapegoated among Christians as the ultimate manifestation of secularism and satanism in contemporary culture, only goes back to fairly recent modern times when certain Christian groups resorted to any fanciful tale to counter the emerging counterculture of the 60's and 70's that they perceived as corrupting youth. Christian leaders since then have clutched us in a guilt trip ever since about a holiday which, prior to this extreme reaction, was indeed harmless for the most part like any other holiday and had no connection with satanic rituals. It was a cultural festival which, though mischievous at times, really posed no threat to society until we were forced to believe that it did.” Samhain/Halloween is to some people a very spiritual and magickal time of the year; for some it’s a time of fun and candy, perhaps a way to celebrate Fall in general. Still for others, perhaps a time to contemplate their own mortality, since the modern holiday mocks death. With the beginning of the dark half of the year, it is also a time to play on a few of the basic/core fears of humankind - fear of what lurks in the dark, and fear of death. Some perhaps are not quite sure what to make of it and prefer to steer clear of it; in the end however, we are forced to conclude that, like it or not, Halloween is only ‘evil’ for those who choose to make it so.

NO NO NO NO PHEOBE WAS NOT A DEACON WRONG INTERPRETATION 😮

got me thinking........🤔

No Tattoos here. Never had em, never wanted them

Amen! nothing left out! He is the truth,life and the way. All praise and and thanks to our savior and redeemer. Forever on the throne and loves us too! Put your faith in him and him alone. The king of all kings!! ✝️ Jesus Christ of Nazareth baby!!

"GOD" BLESS you brother❤ Thanx for this video!!!!

When you’re an ignorant Christian EVERYTHING is demonic

anything that is not natural to ur skin is demonic, like fake boobs, fake markings, fake body parts, fake everything

Christianity is just borrowed gnostic pagan stories that was stolen and literallized by rome.

I like your style!

There is no such thing as sin. It’s BS!

don't the mark of God is given in the tribulation by angels

No, the question should be is there such a thing as being gay? No.

Yes it is

Its an abonination to God ....why do you think God destroyed Sodam and Gomara

Being gay is absolutely a sin. Split hairs as much as you like, it is a sin. So is eating pork. So is eating shrimp. So is not stoning your neighbor to death if you find him working on the Sabbath. So is wearing fabric made of wool and linen. So is not circumcising a new born member of the Chosen on his 8th day, (Yeah, go tell a gay guy that it's a sin not to be circumcised if you want membership in the club). As for J.C. re-writing the law in the name of Dad when he dictates his New Testament novel, hey once you start lying, it's hard to stop.

Even hear about the cities of Sodom/Gomorrah? It's in the Bible. Old Testament.

Homosexualality is indeed a sin. Being gay isn't necessarily a sin--following that temptation and doing it is a sin. All one needs to do is look at either the old testament or new and it will be quite evident. A believer in Christ can be tempted, but relying on the Holy Spirit will help us with that temptation. We are sinners saved by what Jesus did on that cross!

Being homosexual is an abominable sin the Bible says it is unnatural and God does not tolerate it

Yes it is a SIN

Uh,yeah it is,The Bible says a man that lies with another man,it is an abomination,he shall be put to death,that means cast into the lake of fire

Fifty percent of men admit that they masturbate. The rest lie about it.....

I totally understand the Biblical part. But the Dr says it helps the prostate.. I am A Christian also.. if it’s in the Bible don’t do it..

I cannot believe there are actually ppl out there that curse out the Lord and Jesus Christ. They don’t believe and they are very hardened and cold about God and anything to do w him. It is absolutely heart wrenching 🙀🤦🏽‍♀️😒💔 I pray for their deliverance.

Yes masterbateing is a sin something i wish i would had never started when i was younger it led to more things to make u sin even more fighting it every day to stop doing now im older but lust gets in the way something esle i fight so bad to make it stop

Yes is demonic !!!!

Should be known but while LBGTQ (moreso same sex relationship) is considered to be a sin (as marriage should be between a man and woman stated in the Bible) we shouldn’t disrespect or push away these individuals. I’ve seen a good amount of those who call themselves Christians mock and try to ridicule the LGBTQ which is something God wouldn’t want. We should love everyone and share that love! Let them know of how much God truly loves them and that they don’t need to change who they are because they were already perfect and beautiful in Gods eyes. However, don’t push them to changing, still give them the freedom and will to choose. God gave us all free will and the ability to decide. Let them decide on their own. Spread the word but don’t force it. Hope this helps and have a great day!

THE GREATER SIN IS THAT OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH BECAUSE THEY LIED TO ALL OF US JESUS LEARNED MISTICISM FROM THE EGPTAINS WHO LEARNED FROM HERMES

THE BIGGER SIN IS THAT OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WHICH LIED TO ALL OF US JESUS LEARNED MISTICISM FROM THE EGPTAINS WHO LEARNED FROM HERMES AND THAT IS A WORSE SIN

The Catholic church sees masturbation as a sin and places much guilt and shame on this, there is no clear scripture that says so, any scripture can be used out of context to say it is. First is a person doing this with pornography or lustful desires? of cause if so, this would be a sinful behaviour and addictive in nature. If not can anyone with any clear judgment say it is? In 1 Corinthians 6 :12 regarding flee sexual immorality "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be dominated by anything. The rest of the text (to the saved) is referring to adultery and fornication your body not joined to a prostitute. It's very easy to be legalistic on a subject without having clear scripture text regarding masturbating. From a lot of the comments there are so many Christians that are suffering shame and guilt thinking they are not saved or have lost their salvation because of masturbation. Pornography is a sin and any sexual behaviour that gives pornography a hold on our lives needs to be confessed and seek God's help and deliverance from that bondage. God Bless At first you give godly advise to help especially Christians that struggle with porn, BUT as with your web page as well as other Christian web pages that talk about this subject you (they) mention the porn sites or shown a logo of the porn sites, this is totally wrong the people struggling with porn known the sites and do not need them shown or help advertise them on your behalf even though it's not any ones intention to.

Thank you so much for this information. I’m a 15 year old teen that not only struggles with mental health but also struggles with trying to seek professional help while keeping my faith. Trying to maintain my faith while struggling with mental health is hard. Thank you again

Literally the reason why this is still even a question is because there’s people who don’t want to stop and have normalized it in their minds. Masturbation always requires you to either look at a woman lustfully, set wicked things before your eyes or accept and entertain perverse thoughts and imaginations which are explicitly contrary to the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:5). We have the obligation of renewing our minds and casting down vain imaginations if we want to walk in true holiness and freedom. God states we are to flee idolatry as well, and a form of worship is sacrifice. Deuteronomy 4:16 goes in to say that an idol in the form of a man or woman can even be made to be worshipped as well. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10 that sacrifices made to idols are actually made to demons. When you’re done with the masturbating you just sacrificed your seed(male) or discharge(female) to a demon! So You’re literally worshipping/sacrificing your seed to either physical,digital or mental images of a man or woman when you engage in masturbation. Make no image in the form of anything in this earth to bow down to it or worship it! Destroying masturbation and pornography is twofold: you must first deal with the root of lust which is rejection, as a result of no receiving God’s love from Him directly or from people the spirit of rejection comes in and distorts your perspective on love and acceptance and you’ll start seeking it in people and things especially sexual immorality. Many turn to it because that little bit of pleasure and satisfaction is enough to make the person feel or perceive they’re loved, wanted and accepted but God’s love far surpasses anything this world has to offer so to destroy rejection you need to receive God’s love by believing and receiving knowledge of the fact that Jesus was despised and rejected by men therefore familiar with our pain and forsaken by even God Himself the moment He died on the cross, taking our pain and suffering upon Him all so that we can be accepted in the beloved (Ephesians 1:6) The next part is getting filled with the Holy Spirit so you can crucify your flesh and walk in the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18-19 says don’t be drunk on wine which leads to debauchery (lustful behavior similar to what’s seen in clubs) but be continually filled with the Spirit. Then it goes on to say in verse 19 that part of being filled with the Spirit is singing to Lord from the heart. You get filled and stay filled, you must be filled afresh everyday. Paul then says in Galatians 5:16 “so I say walk in the Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh” why? Because 2 Corinthians 3:17 states “the Lord is the Spirit and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is freedom from all bondage”. The Bible makes it clear the Holy Spirit lives in us and as we submit more and more of ourselves to Him He can fill us transforming us from the inside out. This marks the importance of praise and worship because they cause you to meditate on/think deeply about God’s love for you. When you know what love is you’ll also know what it’s not. You’ll know a woman seducing you or having thoughts of being seduced are not real live but fake therefore empowering you to reject them because you have knowledge of God and those things are contrary to it. Jesus states in John 4 if you drink the water He gives you’ll never thirst, anyone who drinks water from other wells will be thirsty again. Stop drinking from the wrong wells!

Human habit, one makes one think of lust. Helps muscle relaxation to induce sleep. Humans do this long before they know what sex is.

It is. However, the difference with other sins today is that pride seems to be settling in on the people who commit it. No one is proud of deceit, stealing, cheating, violence, agression, wars, but these people are proud of this sin. We are all sinners, but we are not proud of ours sins, because believers want to please God.

Second comment about Immanuel, the real prophet who was crucified

Immanuel, the man falsely known as Jesus, did not die during crucifixion, he rode after 3vdays and he moved to India, where his tomb still exists today. He died at 115 years old. Read the Talmud Immanuel, which is the source document for the story of the prophet Immanuel, known later as Jesus. The current story is antithetical to truth. He lead by example. Read the real truth. Look up "Talmud Jmmanuel ", he was a human, and reincarnated billions of times, he brought the truth which has been altered to be devoid of spiritual truth. Read his real words written by his best friend, Judas Iscariot, the real betrayer was Juda Ihariot, a Pharisee who was responsible for his death , but it was blamed on his best friend, Judas, who went to India with him when moved to India after the crucifixion. Today's religions are misguided false cults, his real teaching was the creation teaching, the truth that the creator and creation are one.

Yes, sucka it's a sin. Folks in this comment section make the argument that just because God did not explicitly say that it is, then it isn't necessarily a sin. Ok then. I mean God never made it clear that raping underage children is a sin, yet we have the competence to discern wickedness and righteousness from each other and see CLEARLY that pedophilia is a sin. Furthermore, masturbation is literally just having sex with your OWN body. Paul warns us that unlike other sins that are outside the body, sexual immorality is sin AGAINST THE BODY. Additionally, God speaks about how these jars of clay he gave us are to be his temples. He wants to dwell in them. Theologically speaking, how do you believe his spirit could dwell in a person who sins against his own body? If one of the FRUITS of the holy spirit is SELF CONTROL, then that would be contradictory to a person who CANNOT control themselves. You're not exactly being led by the Holy Spirit when you give into sexual desire, which is lust. Lastly, I see folks that are like "wE ShOuLdN't Be tO hArD oN oUrSeLvEs GuYs. wE hAvE a SiNfUl NaTuRe AfTeR aLl." Oh yeah? 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?" We who have chosen Christ are called to be DEAD to sin and ALIVE in Him. God wants to sanctify you of your sin through his Holy Spirit, so you put off the works of the flesh and be strengthened that you may bare the fruits of the Spirit, like SELF CONTROL for example. But He's patient and He's giving us many warnings through his people that have come before. Let us NOT forget that the sexually immoral will NOT inherit the kingdom of God.

YES.

The question is misplaced. Nowhere in the bible masturbation is prohibited. It's not even mentioned a single time in the entire bible! Consequently it's a non-issue for God. Why do you even bother to make it an issue for you???

Why is adultery and porn always put in the same context when it can be done without that stuff. It actually relieves headaches if need be.
