Do you like celebrating Halloween? If so why? If not, why not? What does it mean to you? People are always saying they just like to go out for the candy but to me it's like "dining with the devil," my opinion. What's your's? I would love to hear it!!
Yes I like halloween. My mom doesn't let us celebrate it but my dad does. So when she's gone we have tons of fun with it..

I am and never was allowed to celebrate halloween.
As much as the thought of going round doors to get free candy was genreally very inviting. I can see why my dad and mum never really approved of us doing it. Not to mention it is rude lol. We never got sweets and we never gave out sweets.

But timjim - its not helloween its halloween as far as I am aware.
yes, helloween is a crappy band, halloween is a fun holiday.

If you guys can pray for my brother, that would be greatly appreciated. He loves to watch shows with wizards and spells. I try hard to get him to stop but i'm only human and he doesn't seem to respect the fact that i'm two years older then him so that isn't really working out very well. He's not into Halloween though which is good cause our family was raised not to celebrate it anyways. Thanks guys.....Love ya!!
Why don't you tell him you're praying for him; that will help him to see that what he is doing is wrong(not that he doesn't know it already). Anyway, I don't know him, so I don't obviously know what will work. But yeah, anyway, we'll pray.

I wish I had a Halloween party to go to, so I could dress up. Halloween parties are really the only excuse for adults to dress up, since we can't trick-or-treat anymore.

You know it is kind of interesting to see people these days they look way off to the far left and see something derastiic happen and think, " oh well that must be the work of Satan. They have no idea he's in a lot of things they take part in, twisting it and sugar coating it to make people think it is ok. And no marvel for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:14 Witchcraft is still fluent today were do you think all these missing children are going. In order to be a 33 degree mason I'v heard, (I know you can't believe every thing you hear but i've been doing a lot of research)you have to perform human sacrifice and they claim to help people. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Ephesians 5:11 . I have a question If satan isn't in halloween or anything else were in the world is he. Jesus told us in John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. You can say well I think this or I think that but a man's reasoning means nothing. I like to base all my decisions on the KJV Bible. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 16:25. I just became a Christian 2 and a half months ago and I told the Lord to completely direct my paths and its amazing all the things He's brought to my mind. Before I didn't want anything to do with God, Now I can't get enough out of the Word. I'm not perfect by any means but the Bible says to strive for perfection and that is what I want to do. You are right Enoch the church does tend to steal concepts from other religions that is why it is so corrupt. I've been trying to find one for the past couple of months and I have been having a hard time finding one that preaches doctrine and just tells the people what they want to hear. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2 Timothy4:2-4 I would rather have a preacher rebuke me now and tell me what I am doing wrong then for the Lord to say, " Depart from me I never knew you." So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Revelation 3:16. You must remember I am not trying to be that guy who is trying to ruin people's fun but I've been delivered from a life of being tormented by the devil and I want to expose his deceptions and help others along the way. There are plenty of others ways children can have fun, they are just to precious to be exposed to the occult at such a young age.

I think halloween is only the devils holiday if you allow it. Christians can celebrate it as long as we go about it the right way. I also see nothing wrong with a kid dressing up as the devil no biggy. When I was little I would dress up as half devil half angel because that's how my personality was and still is.

Well when my dad and mum were young you went round doors, and said a joke or sang a song.
But now a days you just chap on nice folks doors and ask for sweets and you get them. I just think its rude that u just see 'trick or treat' and you get a bunch of sweets that you havent payed for or earned lol

That's funny!! I never thought of it that way. LOL!!!! I just don't understand why scary things like witchcraft, dead people, the devil and demons, e.t.c should be celebrated. For all the terrible things they did to us, we should be fighting against them.

I agree with that totally; the "powers of darkness" should be fought against, not endorsed by Christians.

As as been mentioned before, Halloween is an historically Christian event. The dressing up etc. might not be explicitly Christian, and as with all things the secular has managed to creep in. However, there is nothing inherently wrong with dressing up and having a bit of fun. The idea that Christians shouldn't celebrate Halloween is a rather modern idea (probably from the evangelical wing), but to dress up on this date is no more devil worship than putting up a Christmas tree is pagan.

I personally am not a huge fan of it, but I'm not exactly against it. Kids are just having some fun getting candy. This year I'm going to the starfield concert on halloween, simply because it'll be an amazing time of worship, and it is a great excuse to stay away from the halloween parties.

October 31st is halloween yes we all know that, did you know that the date october 31st is also reformation day, i have a difficult decision to make this year, i have never been trick or treating in my life and i dont think im missing out either, last year i was invited and i denied. This year, my best friend has invited me to her birthday party wich 5 other of my good friends are going to. Its going to e on oct 31 and they like usual will be going trick or treating, my other christian friend that is going cant go trick or treating either, but i canrt say no to going to my friends party, ill be letting her don, im the one she wants the most to be there and ilol feel awfull as well as sad for not gooing to it, she might not be the same around me, but it isnt enough for her to cancell halloween, ive been told im not aloud to go trick or trealing but how do i attend the party and not do so? if i cancell the partyb all together i hurt my friend.... this is a tough tie for me. As a christian i know it shouldnt be, as God should come first, and to me halloween is like slappung Him in the face,

As Christians we are called to "test everything,Hold onto the good. Avoid every kind of evil" 1Thesalonians 5:21-22 None of us can say that any part of halloween isnt evil, for example witches, monsters, demons, the devil, ghosts, they all portay evil of some sort
.Christians are to ..."have no fellowship with the unfruitfull works of darkness, but rather reprove them" Ephesians 5:11

Is Halloween a simple holiday? not for the some that get caught up in destructive behaviour that vandallises other property and homes, who could bring that on, a work of evil.... candy that is booby traped with razors and poision, even needles, these incidents are common enought for as silly as it sound for hospitals to offer free x rays of halloween treats in order to prevent those from being harmed?! why even particuipate in the cunning twist of innocent lollies??!! By all this, decorations, dressing up, on the 31st of october, satanic power is being glorified weather you see it like that or not!
Some may say it is all in good fun, but halloween is serious buisness for satanists and witches, those who organize satanic rituals, who cats spells to delibratley go against christianity and the church, and to offer blood sacrafices to satan!. participation in halloween, even a simple trick or treat places you in ememy territory, forbidden!!! and that is dangerous ground.
HALLOWEEN HARMS!

Light has come into the world but men love darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. John 3:19-20

Let no one be found amoung you who sacrafices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sourcery ,interperates omends, engages in witchcraft , or cast spells, or who is a medium or spiritualist , or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord, and because of these detestable practices the Lord you God will drive out those nations before you, you must be blamless before the Lord you God. The nations you will disposess listen to those who practice sourcary or divination but as for you the Lord you God has not permitted you to do so. Deutermony 18:10-14


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE EXCUSE MY TERRIBLE TYPOS, IM IN A RUSH!!!:):):):0:0:)))

I love the scriptures that you gave. I can't really make the decision for you whether to go to your friend's party or not. But if it makes you feel better.....I'm not doing anything for Halloween. I'm hanging out with my friends, watching a good movie, and playing the Wii. I'm not even opening my door when people come for treats. What I think is that if God says no, why try to find a way around it?
