If a child dresses up as Paul, he is promoting persecution of Christians.
If a child dresses up as Noah, he is promoting drunkenness.
If a child dresses up as Rahab, she promotes prostitution.

If a child is dressing up as a character who gets visions by gazing into crystals, like Superman, then the sin the child is promoting is divination.
That child may not be promoting the sins that the Biblical character commited, but that child is guilty of one thing for sure...
Hypocrisy!
What is a Hypocrite? A pretender; a false professor; insincerity. The Greek word hypokrites referred to a play actor who wore a mask to represent an identity other than his own.
A parent who allows his or her child to wear masks depicting them of being or representing anyone other than who that child actually is, is condoning hypocrisy in that child.
I think so many Christians love the world so much, they have no idea how far they have compromised.

If you bring 'em in with worldly means, you are destroying the meaning of the Gospel. What draws them in, will keep them.

Dressing up or acting for a Christian is evil? I see some of the oddest things here on the BB. No wonder the world thinks Christians are wacky...This is flat out evil for a 'christian' to be a party to.
av1611jim said:Nope. You just were abit further with Rufus' logic and REALLYprovedhis point. folks ought not be playing 'dress up'. Be they 6 or 60!
It is (as someone already mentioned) hypocritical to pretend to be someone you are not.
Forget about Saw wein and the history of it all. Look at it as it is today. Folks PRETEND to be something or someone they are not and then make a party out of it, mocking God's holiness.
This is flat out evil for a 'christian' to be a party to.
