The Battle Continues

In a recent talk at Liberty University, Cameron associated criticisms on the pagan origins of holidays to Chinese food, using sarcasm to mock those who would object to celebrating over pagan concerns. Cameron ended the talk by stating that the earth is the Lord’s and everything it contains, everything God created is sacred, and the whole earth belongs to Him, implying that Christians are allowed to enjoy worldly traditions.

Wordweb's definition of Sacred:  Made or declared or believed to be holy; devoted to a deity or some religious ceremony or use 

Gendron, however, counters Cameron’s stance: “Kirk needs to realize that Satan attempts led people astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ which is what Halloween has done (2 Cor. 11:3) For him to encourage people to have a little fun by taking part in the unfruitful works of darkness is not honoring to God or pleasing to the Lord Jesus Christ (Eph. 5:11).” 

Let's set aside tradition, sarcasm, and Chinese food for a moment and just address the notion that everything created is sacred.  We can all agree that trees are created.  The Garden of Eden was specifically created, detail by detail, yet everything in it was not "sacred."  The tree of knowledge of good and evil springs to mind!  Eating the fruit of that tree was specifically NOT a sacred thing to do!
