Bible Discussion Thread

What is observer of times mean

I am new to studying/learning the Bible . I am doing a study on pagan holidays , so I can tell my family that I will no longer participate in Halloween, pumpkin carving , giving out candy ,

No longer decorating for Christmas or buying Christmas gifts,

No Easter gifts to my grandchildren , which sometimes I did .

Any suggestions would be appreciated on these topics of concern

I need to be gentle loving but wise !

Thankyou

I would recommend reading Romans 14:5. If you feel "convicted" go with your convictions.

Thankyou Gigi for that wonderful answer

Hello McLeansu

Just did a search on this phrase and it seems that it associates with interpreting omen, such as natural phenomena, or weather, or seasonal changes to observe with rituals. Also, one who searches for information about the future through various forms of witchcraft, (spells, tarot cards, crystal ball readings, etc.) It can also refer to observances associated with pagan holidays that happen at specific time in the calendar year.

Hope this helps.

Astrology was/ is a big part of that also.
