Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?

I would like to hear about your experience. I won't argue or debate as I am done with that. But I would like to hear about it all. 

that's not possible here LadyKay.   I would not want people looking into it for it could put anyone who did in direct contact with all kinds of the dark ones and possibly Lucifer himself if one caught his fancy....   He's always looking for bright people to do his will, and he has much of the world to offer in getting that done.    

It is only by the grace of God that I am here as a born again Christian for He interfered before I had to make the decision...   back in the 70's I'm not sure I could have said no for I didn't even realize who I was dealing with.  Anyway this is why I am here.....   to offer ways out to people who have found themselves in that position and just don't know what to do...   I've seen several people a year come by and ask for help.   Usually by email when they run across posts like this and many never even post on the sight

My quest of it all started with a book....   "Chariots of the Gods"   and looking into past history about what that book leads to is dark and ugly.   We see only a glimpse of the devil in the Bible, but in reality you can't even imagine how despicable that entity is.

I dont understand. I thought you said babies were being sacrificed in every country at midnight on halloween. That's a mass sacrifice and would actually have featured in international news if it were to happen. 

So you witnessed these mass murders in real life or partook in them then? 

I have not partaken in them but have met people that have back in the 70's.   One can find video's if one wants to journey into the dark web but that's not a safe place to be.   That's where all the kiddy porn people and human traffickers hang out among the dark spiritual folks and there is special software and expenses involved....   

Left studying that group of people in 1978 and don't want to even be around them anywhere.  I still occasionally get invites...    Satan never gives up on anyone...  

Anyway sorcery and witchcraft is not just a figment of people's imagination.  It is real and it is all tied into the worship and following of Lucifer in one way or another...

And that's why I personally don't take this holiday lightly.....    giving kids candy is one thing but the rest of it is deadly serious.

I think our world view is too Radically different for us to find a middle ground with this one. 

Thanks for the conversation,  I wish you well.

This is hardly a nothing. But there's a bigger issue here. Why does anyone want to celebrate Halloween, we know it has evil origins. The answer is because a person likes it, they feel it's fun. It can be fun, but it's not a godly fun. Deception is wrong so just dressing up in a costume is wrong because it's being deceptive. And I think it's noteworthy that a favorite costume for young women is to dress up like a street walker, something that girl would never do but she enjoys pretending for one evening. As for the guys, I once saw 1 young man who dressed as a "dirty old man" and when he opened his coat he had a fake thing there. My point is this is a holiday based on evil. The only rationale for participating in this is the person enjoys it. Well if the person doesn't claim to be a Christian we really can't say much. Even the apostle Paul recognized that he couldn't expect non believers to live up to the codes of behavior he laid down for believers. 

And if Halloween is just fine & dandy because a believer enjoys it then what else becomes okay? Some people like watching severe traffic accidents where death and mutilation occur. Christians ought not to watch such things but why not if the person likes it. Suppose a man enjoys goosing a girl's behind in bars, we all know girls hate this but if it's fun, why not. Even horror movies are something Christians shouldn't watch but many do. This list can go on & on until it's 100 pages long.

  But Jesus told us we may be in this world but we are not to be like the people of the world. We have to different, very different. If a person isn't willing to give up the pleasures of this world that person has no business calling himself a Christian. He's not fooling the Lord, but he may be influencing a new believer or a youngster who doesn't know what a man of God is. 

I say we need a new reformation. Luther's reformation was tto get people to pay attention to the Bible instead of the rules of men as laid down by the corrupt RCC. But now we need people to obey the Bible and not the corrupt churches that say anything is fine with God.

I'm not speaking to other-one's claim being right or wrong, but i would simply point out that this country allows (indeed largely supports) the murder on average of somewhere around 1700 babies or so every single day of the week. Through that lens, such claims are not all that outlandish to me.

My thoughts about it are in the following poem I have written:

 

Oct 31st Child's Play??

Where's the atmosphere of fear
On this unholy 'holiday'?
While the church turns a blind eye
And pretends it's child's play?

Satan and his minions laugh
At the flippancy expressed,
As the church believes a lie
And his schemes go unaddressed.

Who's the mastermind behind
This dark time of Hell-oween,
When it's in the name of 'fun'
So much wickedness is seen?

The grotesque and the bizzare
Get exalted every year;
Yet the cuter costumes counter
And distract away from fear.

The author of confusion
Does that thing he does so well;
For when he appears angelic
The mixed messages prevail.

Is the candy so inviting?
Is the 'innocence' so sweet?
Can we do it for God's glory?
(What the world calls 'Trick or Treat")

The occult becomes so active.
It's a time to watch and pray;
But the 'ostrich head is in the sand'
Within the church this day.

May the ones whose eyes are opened
Do their best to stand above
All the compromised excuses.
May we "speak the thruth in love."

 

If we don't stand against evil now, while we still have freedom...what will we do later when we don't?
 
I love you guys...but I firmly believe in being a God pleaser, rather than a man pleaser.

"For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God?" Galatians 1:10
"not by way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart." Ephesians 6:6

"whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31

 
My policy in life is: If I can't do it for God's glory...I don't want to do it.

What I will be doing this Halloween is praying for the safety of the children. Please join me in this, brothers and sisters.

@Steve_S This is a valid point. Thank you for posting it. Abortion is a subject Christians once spoke against frequently back in the day. I was there in the early 1980's doing so (not too long after Roe vs Wade passed in '73. I was a kid then.) Compassion for children is still something close to my heart.

Do you think it makes sense to say you know women are getting babies aborted legally at clinics so that means that it is more likely that there is global secret mass baby sacrifice at midnight halloween every year in every country that noone knows about?
