Is it a Trick or Treat ?

KEY VERSE :

2 Corinthians 6:17
“Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 

What’s you’re sign?, asked by a co-worker, I told him, what do you mean? Then, he said, your “horoscope men!”
Oops Sorry I don’t believe that I say.., Almost everyday we see and encounter similar things like this, right ?

Horoscope, Fortune Telling, Feng Sui, Lucky numbers, lucky things, pati na Lucky lotto, and here in Canada Halloween? Ano bayan kabayan?

Akala ko nun ng nasa Pilipinas pa ako ay myth lang yung tungkol sa Halloween, yung bang pang komiks lang, yung pala celebrated pala dito yun, I really could not imagine people doing this, celebrating Halloween, sabi nung iba observing lang daw, pero ano ba yun diba ganun din yun, observing lang ba yung bumili at mag suot ka ng costume na nakakatakot, bumili ng pumpkins to create a jack o lantern, to do trick or treat or make a Party out of it?. And imagine in even big Establishment were supporting this, not to count even some Schools are ewan ko ba. Nakalulungkot isipin pero, dapat ba akong mag walang bahala na lang ba?

Ano bang sabi sa Bible natin?

“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.  For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.”  Ephesians 5:11-12

 

Anong sabi?  I determine daw natin yung pleasing sa Lord at I exposed yung mga mali

Ano ga bang Mali? Come to think of it sino bang sine-celebrate or ano bang sine-celebrate?

 

Ignorance of the Law exempt no one, Juan!

 

Sabi nila pag tumawid ka sa bawal ay huhulihin ka miski di mo alam na bawal duon,

Eh bakit ito, o sige para sa di nakakaalam at para di na mahuli

 

“The first observance of October 31 as a holiday began well before the Christian era.  This day marked the end of the Celtic (Irish, Scottish and English) calendar year.  It was the festival of the dead, celebrated by the Celtic pagan cult called the DRUIDS in England who had the idea that people needed to be cleansed after they had died.  The soul of the departed was transferred by magic to the body of an animal.  During the night of October 31, the enchanted souls were freed by the Druid god and taken together into the Druid heaven.  During the festival, the dead rose and wandered; divination and soothsaying were practiced; fairies, witches, and goblins harassed the people of the countryside; and Druids demanded contributions of food to support their special diet — “Trick or Treat”!  Pumpkins carved to show a face are related to the turnips carved into death masks, which were carried by the Druids during the Festival.

During the Reformation, Halloween was revoked by Protestantism.  But in spite of continual attempts by the church to destroy these pagan religions and practices, they have survived.  During the middle ages, such practices found an outlet in a tremendous surge in the practice of witchcraft, which was devoted to the worship of Satan himself.  One of the special “sabbaths” for this worship was October 31.  Witches were said to travel to these services on broomsticks accompanied by black cats.”

 

Kung titignan natin yung concepto ng gawaing ito, malalaman natin na ang Halloween involves death, darkness, deception, fear, pagan rituals, and Satan. Obviuos naman diba?

Regarding Fortune Telling, Horoscope at Feng Sui or lucky things……

 

Bakit ba may nagpapahula

if you understand this deeper di ba it only boils down to simple no Trust and no Faith in God,  ( God is the same yesterday today and tomorrow, )

 

Bakit nagpapa Fengsui

Being a Christian sana maunawaan natin na lahat ng bagay sa mundo ay di nakasalalay sa Luck kungdi sa Tinakda ng Diyos sa Atin, may Christian joke nga duon dib a sabi  “Wag tayong maniwala sa Swerte, Malas daw kasi yun”

Siyasatin natin yung Puso natin, asan na ba tayo ngayon sa Harap ng Panginoon, Ilang beses naba nating ininsulto at niyurakan yung kakayanan nyang pasaganahin yung buhay natin. di ba isang napakalaking insulto sa kanya kung sa Swerto tayo magtitiwala kaysa sa Kanya na may lalang ng Lahat

Sabi Trust in the Lord with all your heart with all you’re soul and with all you’re might and lean not to your own understanding

Let’s practice Ephesians 5:11, “…have NO fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove (expose) them.”  Christ is not honored by doing this. The Bible teaches that.

 

It is not my intention to judge or condemn anybody, but to share my heart’s burden, Being a parent like me it’s hard sometimes to explain to my kids that things like this are not good, but what is good and bad if almost everybody is doing it. It is my prayer that you will search the Scriptures, examine their message and determine in each of your own hearts whether Halloween, Fortune Telling, Horoscope, and the Rest are a Trick or a Treat.

Passionately His,
