Halloween as an American "holiday" is only a marketing scheme and not evil in nature. Only those that purposely seek its origins worship its darkness.

^that too

I mean dressing as witches and such is either way really disgusting

True

In the UK, very very few Christians celebrate it so I am always amazed by the amount of American Christians who do

Yea churchs bring Halloween into churchs which is idols basically

Not exactly...

Tbh I'm going as a zombie this year

I feel like it depends on how far you go with it

My church does this really cool thing called a "Night in Bethlehem" every November where they build this really big area that looks like Bethlehem and tell the story of Jesus Christ.

Neat

I have video I would like to share its 30 mins long

@Chuck Norris' beard🇮🇱 We have something in a Nearby Town called Bethlehem Revisited and they hire actors and bring animals and they tell the whole story and it’s really awesome.

Oh nice! We have a few people from church volunteer for the acting, and the animals are amazing! What state is that in?

@Chuck Norris' beard🇮🇱 it’s in Kansas. It’s called Bethlehem Revisited. I can’t quite remember what town it’s in though. 🤔

Just got back from The Ark experience and Creation Museum, the videos on The First 6 days and the cosmos at the museum will make you feel small and insignificant

Ooooh nuce

Nice*

That's ken hams place right?

Yeah @Chuck Norris' beard🇮🇱

Where my Presbyterians at

I’m non-denominational

noice

Does anyone know the difference between denominations? I know how Catholicism is different, but not the others

So I am not a super knowledgeable and person but to put it simply: they’re differences in practices, differences in dogma/doctrine, and differences in government

Like in my church we don’t care about the bishops or pope, we are governed by elders in each congregation and our pastors do shenanigans with the denomination (EPC, PCA, PCUSA)

Yeah I don't like the catholicism system with hierarchy, in my church we only had a pastor and the nice ladies who worked at the church

Evangelical here

Yesterday my church had a costume party at Awana for the kids and one kid was dressed up as the devil smh

Haha, testing the boundaries huh

I bet his parents thought” yep I raised this boy *sigh

@Deleted User in Catholicism the pope is the representative of God

So he basically gets to make dumb laws And stuff

Like he recently endorsed Same Sex marriage

how is that dumb

Because... the bible says Man was created for Woman. And vice versa.

No I know how Catholicism is different, I don't like the theocratic setup with one man in charge

He recently endorsed Same Sex marriage in the sense of civil unions, not within the catholic church. Two things can be true at once. (1) Catholics do not agree with gay marriage from the religious union of marriage, but (2) from a civil/governmental standpoint, it doesn't make sense to deny the right to be married in the eyes of the government.
