http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/10/kirk-cameron-halloween-masks-mocking-obama-celebrate-jesus-defeating-satan/Fundamentalist actor Kirk Cameron recently urged Christians to embrace Halloween, arguing that it was a holiday that pagans had tried to steal from them.
In an interview published by The Christian Post on Monday, Cameron explained that the real origins of Halloween had to do with a Catholic Church tradition of remembering the dead before All Saints Day.
When you go out on Halloween and see all people dressed in costumes and see someone in a great big bobble head Obama costume with great big ears and an Obama face, are they honoring him or poking fun? the actor asked. They are poking fun at him.
Cameron observed that mocking President Barack Obama with a Halloween mask was similar to when Christians would dress up in costumes as the devil, ghosts, goblins and witches precisely to make the point that those things were defeated and overthrown by the resurrected Jesus Christ.
The costumes poke fun at the fact that the devil and other evils were publicly humiliated by Christ at His resurrection, he continued. Thats what the Scriptures say, that He publicly humiliated the devil when He triumphed over power and principality and put them under his feet.

(40,416 posts)I specially like the ease of entry claim, which kind of invites the question, Is Ray Comfort still talking about a banana? Or, is the banana a metaphor of something else? What say you Kirk? You seem to pal around with Ray a lot. Please inform us more about bananas.

(14,530 posts)Kirk. If Satan has been defeated then why do preachers still preach about defeating Satan. Why do republicans blame all the sex scandals on falling prey to Satan?
If Satan has been defeated, why does Pat Robertson say he is in things like clothing from Goodwill, Atm machines and stomach aches?
