Halloween/Samhain/ Devil's night has its roots firmly planted in paganism and is well know to be connected with worship of the Enemy of this world, Satan. The people trying to sacrifice your black cat or poison your children's Halloween candy.
It is a time that glorifies the evil things of this world, rather than the light of the One True God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
Have you noticed how costumes and masks are getting more bloody, gory, and whorish each year?
Unfortunately, the gruesome and grotesque and the occult are increasingly glorified in secular society. Not only on Halloween, but throughout the year in frequent movies, tv sho-ws and video games. Like that show about Gypsies.
My family is not allowed to celebrate it or participate in it. We do not believe that our children are “missing out,” and neither do they or else.
Other days are used for costumes and parties like Jesus' birthday CHRISTmas that is purely wholesome and does not have any Pagan roots. (I dress up like Joseph. My wife as Mary.)
Thankfully we are better Christians than those who allow their children to celebrate Halloween, all of our children have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior so they don't dare to whine to be allowed to trick or treat. We have found that Halloween provides an excellent time to remind our children that, as Christians, we are better than other people, and not of this world (Heb. 11:13-16; 1 Pet. 2:9-11).
What about church “Harvest Festivals” held on October 31? We understand the rational and good intentions behind them, but you are not nearly as good as we are if you allow them, as they are rooted in paganism too!
It also assumes our children need something to take the place of Halloween, since they won’t be participating in the secular and pagan celebrations (though they totally are with a harvest festival
). It suggests our kids are missing out on something. And indeed they are, if we allow them to spend Halloween in celebration of Satan's special day!
If we are to make our children to be soldiers in the God's army, why would we sign a pass for them to go on leave when the spiritual battle is escalating and the demons are assembling on the front lines?
No, it is better to lock you and your family in their respective prayer closets and pray that Jesus will protect your house from being egged the whole night. Halloween should be a night for spiritual warfare against Satan's forces not joining in them!!
