Episode notes
Halloween's Name And Historical Roots
- Halloween's name comes from 'Hallows Eve' tied to All Saints Day, a Christian feast celebrating deceased believers.
- Elijah argues many claimed pagan origins are shaky and the holiday has long Christian roots.
Strict Definition Of 'Demonic'
- Elijah defines 'demonic' strictly: something is demonic only if it literally comes from a demon.
- He warns against watering down the term by labeling secular decorations or costumes as demonic.
Prioritize Others' Conscience
- Follow Paul's guidance in Romans and Corinthians: avoid actions that wound a weaker believer's conscience.
- If you lack faith for a practice, abstain rather than cause a brother or sister to stumble.
