Is it a sin to eat halloween candy...

...if someone else thinks it is a sin?

Candy offered in celebration of witches and devils, for their favorite day, is not going to defile us, unless we do honor them... remember in the early church some meat was offered to idols that Christians would buy... Paul said it was all right to eat it, just not to honor those false gods, just eat the meat... the only restriction on the food was not to drink the blood...

Paul said if one was eating with another family, and one did not know if the meat had been offered to idols or not, and one felt they would not want to, just don't ask any questions, so you will feel better not knowing...

if it bothers someone to eat 'halloween' candy, then don't... if you are not honoring these devils of that celebration, I personally don't see any problem with it...

I don't think so. But going out to trick or treat in a costume is.

Based on what?

"Thou shalt not dresseth thineself in a costume and asketh thine neighbors for candy"

Now now. Don't add your own stuff to the scriptures. But Halloween is made up based on witchcraft and to repel ghost spirits. And you think going out dressed in fantastical clothes surrounded by skulls and morbid decoration
is....? Just because it doesn't say your made up verse in the scripture doesn't mean we're allowed to do it. So since the bible didn't straight up tell us not to watch porn, it's okay to watch porn? The scripture also warns us not to involve ourselves with anything that has to do with witchcraft and sorcery. And if your gonna argue saying that you don't do witchcraft physically, to celebrate Halloween, which is based on witchcraft and created by pagans, is celebrating witchcraft. Don't let that one day anger Him.

That's fair, and a lot more helpful than just stating it as a fact without support.

And I mean I'm not trying to point out flaws of others. I'm really not. I gotta a lot to work on too. And I really don't have the "rank" or the authority to tell you this or that. But if it means to help another christian out then I gotta say that will help them realize and point out so that they can realize what they're doing. Same thing for the person on the other side to me. If I say something ignorant then they would need to point that out to me. Idk man, I just felt I needed to add this to my previous post but got ahead of myself.

In a nutshell,if one thinks it's a sin,it is,if not,it's not.
I don't believe it is.

That works. But as long as it ain't too deep of a sin. Like murder.
