Wow that quote has absolutely nothing to do with what I said.

It’s a Christian holiday now. Just like Christmas and Easter. If you discard it because of its root you’re giving it back to the pagans, surrendering a hard fought victory. That’s not Christian. That’s a lot more not Christian than the current Halloween celebration.

Don’t live in fear. Faith is supposed to be a shield. But you’re running in terror for the past, both yours and a day’s. Use your shield.

It has everything to do with what you said. We are to be separate. If we look just like the world and celebrate a wiccan holiday with them, how are we different? It isn’t fear, it’s having ones eyes opened. If it doesn’t honor God, we don’t do it.

Faith is supposed to be a shield.

You believe as the Nicolaitans did?

The doctrine of the Nicolaitans appears to have been a form of antinomianism. (Antinomianism: A belief that is based upon a recognition of the mercy of God as the ground of salvation, but it makes the fatal mistake that man can freely partake in sin because the Law of God is no longer binding. It held the truth on the gratuitous reckoning of righteousness; but supposed that a mere intellectual “belief” in this truth had a saving power.

If so, you need to read Rev 2:12-17
