Halloween for the Christian. Is it right or just plain evil?

Asked Oct 28, 2011, 07:32 AM — 10 Answers
I'm on FB and there is a dicussion going on about Halloween. Personally I just don't get it. I see nothing in the world wrong with it. It may have started as a pagan Holiday but didn't Christmas and Easter also start that way. It is what YOU believe about it.

And as far as the satanic roots, am I crazy or didn't Christ's work on the cross put Satan under our feet? The only thing satan can do to the Christian now is accuse him. Lets not forget that Jesus WON the battle.

And last but not least Paul says for the Christian today, whatever is not of faith is sin. I have no issues with Halloween and trick or treating. I did it, my kids did it. It is a cultural thing TODAY. Some say that it is Satan's day. Please EVERYday is Satan day. Am i way off here? What do other Christians think?

Yes, most of our holidays are pagan in origin.

The Devil can do more than accuse. He can send his minions to tempt, harass and cause division. The work of Christ has given us victory over death. The Devil is not dead or powerless. On this day of the year, the veil between the worlds of death and life are the thinnest. Therefore, on this day more than any other, more spells and rituals are done because they have more effect. This day is more powerful than any other for those of the pagan, wiccan, Satanic persuasion - or as I put it, the left-hand path.

My family and I don't "celebrate" Halloween. We let them have basic costumes, but nothing of a violent or bloody nature. Most often, we take them to a church function such as a "fall festival" where they play games and have candy. There is no Biblical commandment against it that I can find. It is completely up to an individual what they do or don't do on this holiday.

Note: in my work against darkness and evil, I find that I have the most problems around this time. So, more often than not, I'm a little too busy "working" as opposed to celebrating. Spirits both "good" and "evil" are more active during this time.

Peace...
