Excerpt from a Christian teaching referencing Romans 14: points to the responsibility to 'build others up' and avoid being a stumbling block. The speaker applies this to practical behavior—e.g., choosing not to drink if it might cause another believer to stumble—and warns about participating in Halloween because of perceived demonic influences and the risk of leading others into spiritual harm.
Romans 14, 19, 21 really calls us to seek what builds others up and avoid anything that causes others to stumble. That's a big one. As far as even, you know, you may be able to drink and you have a drink or two, not get drunk and you're okay. But if you're around somebody that may stumble by seeing that drink, well, we're called to not drink that. Yeah, right. We don't want to be a stumbling block for others. So our participation in Halloween, with us knowing. Knowing that the demonic spirits and forces and fear and all the witchcraft that's involved in it, if we participate in kind of a harmless way, we have to be careful that we're not stumbling somebody else who's not aware of those things, and they're now on this road of being tormented by demons because they want to celebrate Halloween. Yep.
