What should I do about my son?

Praise the Lord! what you are seeing and experiencing, is God at work in your son. It is God because what kid on their own, will give up candy for God unless he IS of God and belongs to God?

Thank Jesus for this, you may live to one day see your son grow to be a great man of God.

I am happy for you, genuinely happy! Amen.

EDIT: "Blessed are they which hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled." Matthew 5:6

And there you have it.......in the words of Jesus Christ himself!

Some children are more sensitive than others at a young age. He has been alert in church and paying attention. He knows that somethings are evil and are not Godly and children dress up as Star Wars Dark Vader and other scary characters.

At our church we have people in every classroom handing out treats so that our children do not have to go door to door. Our preacher ask the parents not to dress their children in a custom that represents evil and no one does. That way it is a fun time for all and the little children are not scarred.

If your son does not want to go trick or treating don't make him and turn off your lights so no children will come to your home. I never liked Halloween either and still don't. That is one holiday I wish we would do away with because to much mischied goes on that night.

Your little son is right for I don't think God would be happy about Halloween either.

Personally, I myself wouldn't be concerned. I think it's awesome that someone so young would want to please the Lord. However, you're his father and honestly, you DO already sound concerned. I'm a bit confused as to why though. You say that your family goes to church and as a church goer I would think that you'd be stoked. I understand that you want your son to make his own decisions about his faith, but the fact that he feels that God is more important, is something worth celebrating. And although family, friends and school are important, God should always come first in life if you're a believer.

(3)"You shall have no other gods before me. (4)You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. (5)You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, (6)but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments."

~Exodus 20:3-6 (New International Version)~

Well, the question is where did he get this idea from? Is it part of your beliefs, which you have simply not imposed on him so as to allow him to have a happy childhood? Or is it not something you believe, which means he would have had to have picked it up elsewhere? If that is the case, ask him why he feels the way he does. Talk to him about it, and let him know that you don't think god minds him having fun as a kid. If, however, this is the viewpoint of your religion, then there's really not much you can do but accept it.

Someone has said something to your son I know that for a fact as no one just says they think God is more important. If he goes sunday school at your church then as halloween is coming up it was probably the teacher that told the class that people who celebrate haloween upset God

I'd be concerned only if somebody else were introducing ideas to my son/daughter (if I had sons/daughters). He seems too young (6 years old) to have come up with something like that. But who knows, maybe he did. I guess you'd be the best judge on whether or not your son could come up with such an idea.

First ioff let me commend you for letting your son find what spirituality means to him, however you have to realise by doing this you have also open up the possibility for him to think that trick or treatng is against god, not saying there is anything wrong with this belief, but obviously religion is important to him, so why not have a christian themed halloween party? You know dress up as biblical characters, and what not.

Show him that you can still have fun and be a christian.

I don't think so. I think it's great that he's that young and he's already concerned with what he thinks God approves of. I don't believe in trick or treating either for the same reason your son said. I'm not Jehova witness but I've put alot of thought into Halloween and I've decide that it is the day of the devil.

Did it ever occur to you that God is speaking to your son's heart. Perhaps God has been trying to speak to your heart too ... for many years. You just didn't hear Him. Maybe what your son now wants is best for both of you.

Halloween activities seem innocent enough on the surface, but they are influenced by a dark side in the spirit realm.

In any event, allow your son his wish. It certainly cannot do him or you any harm. And if you look, you may find a Christian church in your area that's having some kind of fall festival that night. Lots of fun without the satanic overtones.

It sounds to me as if he has already made his own decision about his faith. Let him embrace it!

And please, if he doesn't want to go trick-or-treating don't make him. You both could have just as much fun handing out the treats at home, in fact, he may get true enjoyment out of giving rather than receiving. Bless his heart!

yes you don't suppose to think that way until you are ten tell him that god is a character from a story made thausands years ago and that it is not real an tell him that trick or treat is more fun then staying at home and thinking about god you think about god on christms and now it is fun time and not god time so tell him that it should work

good luck if not work i would be concered a LOT !!!!!!!
