Halloween HORRORS

I'm going to skip a couple of the passages I had mapped out to post about to share with you the HORRORS that God will afflict upon you if you disobey him.

Deuteronomy 28: 25-29...You shall become an object of horror to all the kingdoms of earth. Your corpses shall be food for every bird of the air and animals of the earth, and there shall be no frightening them away. The Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt, with ulcers, scurvy, and itch of which you cannot be healed. The Lord will afflict you with madness, blindness, and confusion of mind; you shall grope about at noon as blind people grope in darkness, but you shall be unable to find your way; and you shall be continually abused and robbed, without anyone to help.

Anyone think Hitchcock got some of his ideas from the Bible? Huh? Huh?

Rebellious Children

Deuteronomy 22:18-21 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father and mother, who does not heed them when they discipline him, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his town at the gate of that place. They shall say to the elders of his town, "This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard." Then all the men of the town shall stone him to death.

Talk about tough love! This passage is another perfect reading for Halloween. Any kids engaging in tricks rather than treats in your town? Instead of milky ways, give them some pop-rocks this year. ;)

So if you're under 18 and planning on getting eggs for some "fun" this halloween, make something out of it (see above) rather than risk getting stoned to death by townspeople.

Punishment

Leviticus 26:27-29 But if, despite this, you disobey me, and continue hostile to me, I will continue hostile to you in fury; I in turn will punish you myself sevenfold for your sins. You shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.

Wow, THIS is old testament. I'm scared. Anyone else out there scared? I almost peed my pants.

A passage about eating flesh? It's definitely a great for Halloween, like Silence of the Lambs or something Steven King. So great I'm probably going to check the locks two or three times tonight. Good luck going to sleep, Heather.

P.S. Like how I put the scary text in scary red? ;)

P.P.S. How great is this carved pumpkin? I wish I had a talent for carving pumpkins like this.
