Exaclty! If someone is celebrating the original intent of Halloween, then they are not choosing the way of God. If it's just kids going from door to door for candy and dressing up like their favorite superhero, I don't think it's a problem. Likewise Easter. If one is participating in the original pagan celebration, that's bad ... if they're celebrating the day the Lord rose from they dead, that's good.

I don't agree with that. A day is being celebrated that stands for something that God is against. How an individual celebrates it doesn't matter. The fact that it's being celebrated is enough. Celebrating or observing it in any way only strengthens and promulagates it.

Are you saying that God is against us celebrating the day Jesus rose from the dead on a day that used to be a pagan holiday?
