Read what I wrote more carefully.

If the focus is truly on the Lord, then a Christian can participate in Halloween and celebrate Christmas.

Participate, I would say, in Halloween because it is about death, which is the reason why in our society today it is growing every more dark as well as very popular with adults.

Christmas, on the other hand, can be celebrated.

As Christians, our life is about working for God, not against Him. It’s funny how it’s clear that if you work for the United States government patriotically during the day but are a traitor to it off the clock, that wouldn’t be all right. But in the church of the Laodicean spirit, if one “works” for God by day, then God and His will can be forgotten about on “one’s own time.”

Our work is to be lights in this world, and that work will bring us true joy and fulfillment, not the empty satisfaction that leaves a spiritual hangover which the world has to offer.

So we certainly can celebrate the Lord’s birth, which is recorded in Scripture. How many hearts are touched by it, with even atheists saying it has some draw for them?

The differences between what Christmas, when the Lord’s birth is the source of its joy, and what Halloween celebrate are quite plain.

quote-The differences between what Christmas, when the Lord’s birth is the source of its joy, and what Halloween celebrate are quite plain.

Based on His Creation and His Word, The Word became flesh when the sun clothed the woman and the moon was under her feet.(revelation 12:1)

That sign could have been seen on September 26,2014, October 14, 2015 or October 3 2016.

Each of those days represent a ‘day’ the Father gave to Israel to set apart each month-
A day where the temple was to be open and banquets were held and markets were closed.

and that ‘sign’ is nowhere near December 25. And with study, one can know where that sign was 2,000 years ago (not where it sits today in His heavens- it has moved)

But December 25 fits Rome’s calendar- so does their commemoration of His circumcision on January 1st- and their commemoration of Him being presented in the temple on GroundHog day- feb 2nd.

Amazing what His Word and His Creation can tell us-

8 days after those days would have been the 7th Day Sabbath, according to scripture- when the Word was circumcised. and 40 days from His birth, The Word was presented in the tomb on the 10th Day of the 7th Month- the Holy Sabbath of Day of Atonement.

Almost impossible to tell the difference between Truth according to His Word and His Creation and the world’s times and laws today.

prophetic!
imagine how fast babylon falls when its holy days become weak and beggerly..
