I like to give out bible tracts with candy.

Doesn't dressing our children up as bible characters seem to be in conflict with:

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

14Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."

17"Therefore come out from them

and be separate, says the Lord.

Touch no unclean thing,

and I will receive you."

18"I will be a Father to you,

and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

While I do believe halloween is tied with alot of ungodly things, witches dont actually believe in Satan. So that is not entirely accurate.

Then what do they beleve and do on holloween. There not christians they pratice wicca. What do they need to know wicca for if they don't worship satan why need spells.

They worship false gods and dieties and a bunch of junk. Essentially they are worshipping satan yes, but the wiccans do not recognize it as such.

The book of Enoch states that the fallen angles (satan's followers) brought witchcraft among other things evil things. Now weither or not the Book of Enoch is the word of God is another story.

Regarding what Lenoard said I agree that its a nice idea for even Jesus himself said the below however for a different context. <- very important point..

Rev 3:20

"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me."

But why must we make a replacement for sin? God doesn't..

Now here is my question.

In the Book of Kings of Israel. What did GOD do to all the Kings who did not obey God and remove all Pagan things from the land? Lets look at Elisha's final prophecy for one of them.

2 Kings 13: 14- 18

Elisha

Anothrer perspective to think about......how would you feel......

If you marry someone who was married before, and that person said they loved you, but instead of celibrating your aniversory or birthday, said sence I'm used to celibrating the days of my ex, I'm still going to use those days, but rather than thinking of my ex, these days are yours.

I know that it's not excatily our anaversory, the the day I'm used to celebrating on for an aneverory, I won't be thinking of the past, but us. I will also take the day I used to buy the ex presents for an now buy you present for your birthday.

Would this be OK with you? Because this is exactly what we are doing when we take days to celebrate that He never set for us.

Just something the Lord put on my heart.

Much love in Christ,

Sister Bridget

The Festival of Halloween was an ancient Pagan celebration of the end of the fertile period of the Celtic Goddess Eiseria. It is said that when Eiseria reaches the end of her fertile cycle the worlds of the dead and the living interlap. This happens on October 31. Several millenia ago, masks were originally worn to show respect for the Goddess Eiseria who, like most Celtic deities, does not wish to be seen with human eyes. The day also preceeds All saints day (an adaptation by The Roman Catholic Church), which was at first the celebration of the start of a new cycle of fertility for the celtic Goddess Eiseria. Couples incapable of producing children thus tried their luck on All saints day.

What really goes on holloween besides the candy.

Well, I'm planning on dressing up as Tony Stewart in a spandex jumpsuit that I bought on sale in the boys' costume section at Rite Aid and going to watch "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," then maybe to go hand out candy with my friends who live off-campus.

But I'm probably not typical.
