Side 1: Halloween is not a gospel issue — two opposite errors to avoid
Mike's first analytical point: proper categorization of the issue
Elevating Halloween to a gospel issue causes unnecessary division and clouded thinking. A Facebook meme claiming 'true Christians have nothing to do with Halloween' citing 1 Thessalonians is an example of dangerous error — questioning someone's salvation over candy is a pride problem. The opposite error is equally wrong: assuming that because something is not a gospel issue it therefore has no moral weight (parallel: eating healthy isn't the gospel but still matters). Both extremes are failures of discernment.
