COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n The Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> is pleased to announce this sermon from its ContinuingCOG <\/a>channel:<\/p>\n <\/strong>First Baptist Pastor Alan Rudnik has posted seven reasons he feel that a Christian should celebrate Halloween, which he ties to ‘All Saints’ Day’ as well as the Druids. In this sermon, Dr. Thiel challenges each of those seven reasons and gives biblical and historical rationale for Christians NOT celebrating Halloween, All Saints’ Day, All Souls’ Day, and the Day of the Dead. Dr. Thiel even mentions the ties to the Pantheon. While Alan Rudnik only cited one scripture, Dr. Thiel cites many and explains not only what the Bible teaches, but what the practices of the early Christians were related to holy days.<\/p>\n Here is a link to the sermon: Halloween: Are there 7 reasons for Christians to celebrate it?
