    In your opinion do you believe world is about 6000 years old

    So you think you know better than God what He meant, seeing as how I noted that this came from a prophetic word Personally I will be going with His interpretation over yours.

    In your opinion do you believe world is about 6000 years old

    Not sure where to begin, and not entirely sure I know what you are getting at. The passage in Hosea is suggestive of counting the days after Jesus died on the cross - something which happened since man has been on the Earth (after time became a thing) and unrelated to the question of the age of...

    In your opinion do you believe world is about 6000 years old

    That passage doesn't say anything about time. That would be you adding your own interpretation onto Scripture.

    The Bible speaks of both testing things (1 John 4:1, Romans 12:2, 1 Thess. 5:21, etc.), and the gift of prophecy (1 Corinthians 12-14, etc.). So for you to deny these things exist is to deny Scripture. If you don't know what it means to test biblically, or you don't believe the gifts of the...

    God has said quite clearly in prophecy to stay away from Halloween. Test this with Him for yourself or don't - It's up to you to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

    Why not both? Isn't that what the ancient Israelites tried? Instead of worshiping God or Molech they decided to go for both. Not sure what is really best, but there is definitely an argument to be made against "both."

    You think (s)he is disappointing them? When my aunt got trick-or-treaters she told them she had some oatmeal mush they could have if they really wanted. But since when is not disappointing children the highest goal? If you really love someone you tell them the truth.

    I'm not the one you asked, but God hasn't said anything against birthdays to my church though He has expressed issues with Halloween, Christmas, & Easter. In fact when we had a Pentecost party, He told us "Happy Birthday" since it celebrates the birth of His church.

    Not wrong to reference facts (though even those need to be vetted and considered in context), but as Christians, let's be sure to look to God and the spirit as our primary source since that is what really matters.

    Unless you were being facetious, please allow me to be. - It's just so honoring of Christian saints to follow the pagan tradition of warding off evil spirits with jack-o'-lanterns, playing with fear (somehow my Bible is missing that fruit of the Spirit), and by dressing up as witches.

    Not sure if I want to bite. Are these holidays pagan - Yes for Halloween, Christmas, and Easter. Is it appropriate to be celebrating them - Depends on which one you mean and how. Is it worth getting into - Depends on who is listening and why. I guess I will say, and fairly categorically, that...

    In your opinion do you believe world is about 6000 years old

    Prophetically, God has said the age of the earth is a "meaningless question" because time didn't exist when it was created.

    Hello. I strangely can't write more than one character per line. Anyway, kind of cool. In elementary school I was always a lonely kid who didn't even have any other names listed for my birth month as written around the room, so I am glad for the company in June
