From Stinker: Maybe Im wrong. but im not going to deny my kid a fun time on this night, alot of good memories for me, im trying to let my kids have some too.

On page one of this post, did you happen to read the reply from Adam423? Did anyone who wants to celebrate this nastiness READ? How can our Beautiful God approve of this filthy celebration? And you say it's all in the name of fun? What about the Precious Name of Jesus?

Yes, Im sure Kurt cameron will have the right answer.

I will skip it, thank you.

We always give out candy. We moved 2 months ago to live with our son in the country. He said last year he did not have any kids come to his place but he did not turn the light on.
This year I am going to buy some candy we all like and leave the light on just in case. I would not mind having less kids than last year when we had about 100 kids, but it would be nice to have a dozen or so.

My kids will not be a part of Halloween.

"An old proverb says, "When you sup with the devil, use a long spoon." Presumably, NO genuine Christian would want to sup with the devil at all and yet many may be doing so in ignorance.

As a former witch high priest now saved by Jesus, I was astonished by how many Christians let their kids celebrate Halloween. Some churches even sponsor "haunted houses" and similar events on what is the Number One satanic "helliday" of the year. Halloween used to be called Samhain, and is still celebrated as an ancient pagan festival of the dead by witches all over the world. Unfortunately, just giving the date a "holy" name like All Hallows' Eve or All Saints' Eve cannot change its grisly character. Halloween is an occasion when the ancient gods (actually demons) are worshiped with human sacrifice. The apostle Paul warns us: "But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils" (1 Cor. 10:20).

If you are a Christian parent, God has given you a precious responsibility in your children. Remember, their ability to resist spiritual wickedness is much less than yours. If you allow your children to participate in Halloween (Trick or Treating, costume parties, etc.) you are allowing them to play on "the devil’s turf," and Satan will definitely press his home court advantage. You are opening up doorways into their young lives for evil by bringing them into a kind of "fellowship" with these ancient "gods."

We are commanded not to become involved with the unfruitful works of darkness (Eph. 5:11). Both from my experience as a witch, and since getting saved, as a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I have seen far too many examples of how breaking this command works out in lives. Remember, while we have God's promise of protection for ourselves and our children, that promise may not hold if we allow our children to celebrate this dark holiday. Case after case has come to us of children in rebellion. In many of these families, the problem can be traced back to the children being exposed to Halloween at a young age. It is hard enough to raise children these days in a Godly way without exposing them to Satan's realm.

In his book, Lucifer Dethroned, author William Schnoebelen describes his search for spiritual power that led him on a journey from simple witchcraft to blood-lust vampirism that was only terminated years later by the cleansing blood of Jesus. His book will help you avoid or escape occult involvement and lead others out of similar bondage."

A very impressive post. Well said.

I am 20 years old and never participated in Halloween in all my years, thanks to my parents having the knowledge about the true nature of Halloween. When I have kids, they won't participate either.

I see a lot of people saying that it is a day the Lord has made.

I haven't, though, seen anyone complain about October 31st... we're talking about a ritual that takes place on that day...not the day itself.

Big difference.

You know, when I first saw this thread, I said to myself, "This is going to get ugly".:rant:hairout:rules:confused::huff :furious :bash:force :frust

1 Thessalonians 5:22
Abstain from all appearance of evil.

What do most people do on Halloween? Dress up in scary costumes, go to haunted houses, watch scary movies. There is also a darker element out there that takes the old pagan roots of the day very seriously, for evil purposes.

What else happens? People have dances, parties, hayrides, stuff themselves with candy and treats. There are fall harvest festivals, with social activity and community spirit.

See the difference?

You don't need to celebrate the dark side of the season. You can have a Fall Festival or Harvest Celebration. You can have costume parties with no evil or scary costumes. You can pig out on caramel/candy apples, popcorn balls, and chug some cider. Bob for apples, go on a hayride.

Don't mimic the evil stuff. Turn the day back into what it should have been...a celebration of the end of the harvest season. But give the glory to God for the season, the harvest, and fellowship with others. It becomes more of a...Thanksgiving day... in that sense!
