Sin (defined by the Ten Commandments in God's Word [=the Bible])
God’s standards are so holy and high that none of us could pass judgment without being condemned to death (read my blog post titled "Good Friday" in March 2008). "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 How? Look at the Ten Commandments and see how you, yourself personally, measure up. Read Exodus 20:1-17 in the Bible (NIV(New International Version) is an easy version to read) Deuteronomy 5:6-21
1. Have no other god before Me Deut. 5:7 (Jesus Christ is the only way to God John 14:6)
2. Do not worship any idols. Deut. 5:8
3. Do not take the Lords name in vain Deut 5:11(Jesus Christ as a "four-letter word)
4. Keep My Sabbath Holy Deut. 5:12
5. Honor your father and mother Deut. 5:16 (who is my mother, brother Mark 3:33, Matthew 10:34-37)
6. Do not murder. Deut. 5:17 (Jesus says if you have hate in your heart towards anyone you have murdered Matthew 5:21-22) murderers have part in the lake of fire
7. Do not commit adultery (Jesus said if any [hu]man lusts after [someone] in their heart [mind] then they have committed adultery Matthew 5:27-28)
8. Do not steal [this includes "petty" items, i.e. pens, pencils] (all thieves have part in lake of fire Revelation 21:8)
9. Do not lie (all liars have their part in the lake of fire Revelation 21:8)
10. Do not covet (desire to have others items without your own gain; perverse jealousy Deut. 5:21)
If you say you haven't broken any, you're deceived, and you just lied breaking the 9th. Still not convinced? Take the "good person" quiz @ http://www.wayofthemaster.com/goodperson.shtml and see how you line up in the light of God's standards (not human, not our own). If you desire to be set free from God's wrath in the life to come you must make Jesus the Lord of your life here on earth. This is His standard, His way. He says "I am the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except by Me." John 14:6 But the good news is He's paid the price for our sins, so instead of death we may have life, thru His Son Jesus Christ. If you desire to escape the wrath to come, then pray the prayer below to Jesus Christ and read the Bible daily and get in a church based on the Bible alone as it's standard.
What to avoid: Lake of Fire
... CAUTION: children/minors: it is highly recommended that you get parental supervision/permission before pressing play
What to gain: Redemption for your soul through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord over your life!

It beats me how professing Christians can celebrate Halloween.It reeks of satan worship. In India we cannot imagine celebrating pagan festivals at least informed born again Christians.
OK let me tell you about 1 Cor 2;14- 3;;9
14Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged. 15But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, and he himself is judged of no man. 16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ
1And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ. 2I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able to bear it: nay, not even now are ye able; 3for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men? 4For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men? 5What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him. 6I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: but each shall receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9For we are God's fellow-workers: ye are God's husbandry, God's building.
Three types pf people are mentioned in this passage
The Natural man - who is spiritually dead - or unsaved
The spritual man who is alive to God and living in Christ
The fleshly man - or carnal man who is an immature Christian. He knows Christ but is not groing in the things of God and is coaught up in petty things and is worldly mined
Yes, sadly some give in to popular peer pressure,not even aware of it's source... or not caring...falling into immature Christian....or young in the Lord...:(
