After sharing reel on Instagram about Halloween's origins, it soon became apparent that a proper video would also be necessary. So here it is. Make sure to follow me on Instagram: @thejewishcatholic
Thank you brother for making this! Many Protestants highlight how the world secularizes our holidays, then label them pagan. But if you follow that flawed logic consistently, you’ll naturally slip into extreme fundamentalism where you don’t celebrate any major holidays at all, which is a half baked approach that only isolates yourself (been there, done that, learned the hard way)
In the Philippines,as a Roman Catholic we really observed and practice that way. So impressed of ur preaching & sharing all those things. You r a blessings to everyone.❤ GOD Bless you.🙏
youre awesome for teaching the truth! God says, not all believers should be teachers for his judgement is different than ours. im positive our Heavenly Father has a special room in heaven for you. God Bless!
Yes we must live out our truth and faith and spread truth and debunk the lies that secularism and some Protestants have been spreading around for some time now. Great video you did a great job explaining everything especially All Hallows Eve, but another way people might remember the meaning of Hallow is like in the Bible in the book of Mathew when it mentions “Hallowed be thy name” meaning holy is thy name (referencing God) and holy is saintly.
Great vid bro, and so calmly delivered , I guess in these upset times is hard to be heard but...keep up the good work! It really helps to have contents like yours ☺️🙏🏾❤️
mate I love your channel. Id love for you to show how you and your family celebrate Shabbat as a Jewish Catholic? do you celebrated on Friday or Saturday night? and do you think non-Jewish catholics can celebrate it as well?
I wonder what idea about the origin of Halloween is more offensive to Protestants. Catholic, pagan or occultic. I guess none is good... 🤔 Yet they seem to not talk about the Catholic origin as much. Thank you for the explanation! We don't celebrate Halloween where I am from (though it has been introduced here lately) but All Saints Day and also the All Souls Day when we traditionally go to cemeteries to honor our deceased loved ones and we offer prayers for the souls in purgatory, indulgences specifically for them can be obtained for the whole 8 days.
Another year, another chance to gain plenary indulgences for 8 souls from purgatory => 8 new sainst who may intercede for us! Don't forget, each year there is this beautiful chance! God bless you all!
I looked through your videos, and I don’t believe I saw you cover the subject, but forgive me if you already have. I grew up in a Seventh-day Adventist house my family have belong to the church since its founding. The family members who left the church, still attend, Sabbath, keeping churches, although most of my family are still SDA. For them me becoming Catholic is a very big deal since I am now a Sabbath breaker. I do say a prayer every Sabbath with my family. Thanking God for his creation and giving us rest from work but of course I attend mass on Sunday and that is my main day observance. Do you have any wisdom, or thoughts that you could share with me or in a video to help show them? It’s OK to go to church on Sunday .
Well Saturday vas the Sabbath in the Old Testament and the old covenant. Once Jesus fulfilled the old covenant and started the new one all those old traditions were no longer viable. Similar to why we no longer kill a pure lamb for our sins to be forgiven (like the Jewish people of the old covenant did) God was the ultimate sinless lamb that died so all our sins could be forgiven. Saturday was the old Sabbath Sunday became the new Sabbath in the new covenant. Also in many languages Sunday is translated into day of God ie Domingo in Spanish the root word means day of God. I hope this helps a little and gives you a place to start your research. God be with you 🙏🏼🕊️✝️❤️🙏🏼
@TheJewishCatholic @Daniel I'm praying that your family and you are doing well after the earthquake 🙏🏼 please keep us informed if its possible. Your brother Robert from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
There is a book called From Rome to Jerusalem. Would love it if Trent or another Catholic apologist would read it and comment on it afterwards. It has been said that a bishop in Florida, head over 17 Catholic Churches, read the book and converted to Oneness Pentecostalism. Also, a few priests under said bishop were also converted. If you are Catholic, I highly recommend it, and would love to hear feedback on what you think. Cheers.
I’m assuming that you mean the one by D.G. Hanscomb, based on your description? There’s another book with the same title with the author telling his story of conversion to Judaism instead. That said, I would be interested in a response for either book about this.
K great thx. I appreciate your channel. Good info. However. I despise this hallloween . I am miserable during the time of Halloween. I can’t stand Christmas and Easter. I can not. Jewish biblical feasts for us. It makes me happy that catholic people can find joy in this season.
I grew up in a weakly catechized Catholic home, and we participated in Halloween to a common, low-level degree. It wasn’t that important to us (it was just weird if you didn’t participate). We didn’t see any thing wrong with it. Now, I know better. All Hallows Eve, the Vigil (October 31st) of All Saints Feast Day - November 1st) was originally in the spring. The pope moved the Feast of All Saints to the fall in order to counteract all the demonic effects of pagan fall harvest rituals that we now call Halloween. The original idea was that heathens could dress up to disguise themselves from the evil spirits. The spirits are real, but demons aren’t so easily fooled. For a Catholic to participate in Halloween is ludicrous. Yet, I found my kids trick-or-treating at the Catholic Priest’s Rectory and all the Catholic school parents dressing kids up for their Catholic school Halloween party. I know God understands if you truly didn’t know any better, but why would you ever defend it? If keeping Halloween around is important to a person, I’d venture to say that they don’t have the best relationship with God. Stopping participation in Halloween is a good start. Have a fall feast after praying Catholic Vespers for the Vigil of the Feast of All Saints instead of dressing up as a witch and demanding candy. ❤
Not quite true. Samhain was an Irish pagan holy day. The Irish upon becoming Catholic still embraced Samhain in a non religious way and brought this attitude to America. Halloween is something the Irish adopted from Rome. Samhain is the modern Irish language word for November.
