    Halloween is a celebration of all things against God. It celebrates, spirit, demons, satan, and the occult.

    Notice what the Bible says at Deuteronomy 18: 10-13

    There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, anyone practicing magic, anyone who looks for omens, a sorcerer,11 anyone binding others with a spell, anyone who consults a spirit medium or a fortune-teller, or anyone who inquires of the dead.12 For whoever does these things is detestable to Jehovah, and on account of these detestable practices Jehovah your God is driving them away from before you.13 You should prove yourself blameless before Jehovah your God.

    There are other scriptures that talk on this subject, but this one is very direct.

    In the source box is an article that discusses the origins of Halloween. Please check it out when you have the chance.

    Most Christians think of Halloween as a secular holiday and have no problem with it. However, there are many throughout the spectrum of faith who regard it as Satan's holiday.

    Perhaps if you understood what the holiday of Halloween is all about you would think a little bit about what you're running out of your mouth! Christians have a problem with Halloween because the first Halloween came about as a result of a vicious murder of a family and all there children. Drunken pagans had a custom of knocking on doors and demanding tribute and small gifts the Christians had nothing with which to appease the pagans no booze no drugs and no money.

    So the pagans viciously murdered the family.

    And for the two days later that followed the other Christians buried them and mourn for them. But today nobody celebrates the two days of mourning for the Christians they just celebrate the night the Christian family was viciously murdered by people in costumes! That's why we don't celebrate Halloween it's a day of murder a day of murder of Christians.

    By pagans and that's not a day worth celebrating

  • We have said many times and in many ways that; the so-called feast of halloween is a Pagan, it is dedicated to the demons!

    Modern Halloween celebrations draw from several pagan harvest festivals and many extremist Christians don't like fun of any sort that isn't directly part of their religious tradition. These are the same people that complain about Yule logs and the Easter Bunny.

    Halloween glorifies darkness, evil pranks, cruelty, fear, death and dying. Christianity is all about life, joy, and peace.

    Placing ghosts on your lawn and handing out candy dressed as iron man is every bit as much a Christian observance as inflatable snowmen and kissing under the mistletoe or hunting for painted eggs hidden by a giant rabbit.
