@goldendoodlelover. None of this is your fault. It’s a good question and a topic well discussed. Thanks to those that participated. Until the next topic, God bless!
This has obviously gone farther than the topic of halloween. I understand that there are differences. But this group isn’t for arguing over beliefs. Debating, maybe. But this had gone a bit farther than debate. If you would, please stop going around and around. Onfire247, you said you didn’t want another argument like before. But you are continuing one right now. Both of you guys, that have a great impact on this site, aren’t helping this cause because of differences that won’t really matter for eternity! If you would, please calm this down a little.
Just saw this. I will be praying that all goes well today. I have lost several family members to cancer and I know that none of us here want to lose you. You have made such an impact on this site. Thank you so much. May God do amazing things through is. Another place that people can put prayer requests out is the Prayer Request group.
I agree that we don’t need to have another argument. One problem is that we accuse. Even I do that. In this group, we ask questions and give opinions. Not to try to reprove the other because he/she has different beliefs and convictions! Can we try to do that?
@annaA; That was uncalled for. I will not have accusations be made like that. @Goldendoodlelover, I am sorry for that. I understand that you go to church. I was just wondering if you father pastored one. If not thats fine. Next time please tell me instead of evading my questions
Thank you very much mrsmoo for your input. As a teenager, I have seen and heard too many things; as a retired public school teacher I’m sure you’ve heard and seen worse. Thank you all for sharing.
One thing that I don’t like is the “trick or treat”. Not saying that giving candy out is bad. (I liked you idea of it, onfire247) but some people aren’t very nice to kids. I’ve met a Police officer that said that halloween is his least favorite night. Not because of its meaning and history, but because he watches over several parolees that have been charged with assault, child abuse, ext. I’ve heard of multiple kids that have gone missing halloween night. I think that there needs to be more supervision! And I know that there are tricks that aren’t very nice that are handed out.
@onfire247 never be ashamed for speaking you mind when you feel it’s right. Honestly, what you have said really needs to be practiced, even by me. Thank you for being honest. We need more people to do that. There are lots of things we could talk about in this group that can go like this. A lot of it comes down to opinions and beliefs. Again, thank you.
Thank you guys so much for your inputs. That is what this group is for. I completely understand where all you guys are coming from and I honor your opinions. When it comes to Song of Solomon, I usually cringe when I read it as I read through the Bible. There is definitely a purpose for this book as it is in the Bible. I just haven’t figured it out yet.
Sorry, pushed the wrong button. In continuation: They want to be just like that thing. Which is pretty much idolatry. Again. Look at the history and base of halloween. It’s not what it seems to be.
On halloween, I believe that it is based on devil and idol worship. Call it extreme but look at the history behind halloween! Why do you think people dress up in their favorite characters or animals or whatever? They want to just like
Already had fall break. You haven’t answered my question. What church does you dad pastor? Also, I would rather not have halloween advertised in this group. Please don’t mention it again. If you would like to know why I stand against halloween, put a question in the Biblical Discussions group. Thank you.
I was arguing with a flat-earther on what shape the world is. He told that he was going to walk to the end of the world to prove that the earth is flat.
I know this is kinda late but I have a prayer request to make. Next week, I will be flying over to Kenya, Africa 🇰🇪. I’ll will be going with my Grandpa and Aunt to help a missionary with some construction projects. Mainly flooring. I am really excited but there are a lot of details in this. Here are a few things that you could specifically pray for: Safety, Negative COVID test, and construction goes well. Maybe someone here will know of Missionary Michael Rains. We are going to be helping him and his family. I will be flying from Chicago, IL, USA, to Paris, France, and then to Nairobi, Kenya, Africa. If there are any questions on this, I will gladly talk to you. God bless!! Jappel.

Most definitely. But in all "seriousness" there are people that can shove out their stomachs even if they aren't fat at all. My uncle, tall and skinny, can make himself look potbelly just by sticking it out there.
Now you may wonder why I threw my uncle under the buss, but just a disclaimer, I can...can...can do it to. It is weird in a way but I am the only one that can do it in my Family. They believe I got it from my uncle, of whom I am somewhat alike.
That is a good question, there is a group that is called Biblical Discussions. There, we discuss different things about Christianity, religion, and other random topics. I suggest you put your question in there. There are people that would definitely like to discuss topics like that.
