WHY CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN

Halloween has strong roots in paganism Closely connected with the worship of Satan dark things light of Jesus Christ Glorifies dark things of this world, rather than the light of Jesus Christ Costumes & decorations are scary, and getting worse each year Grotesque is increasingly glorified in North America (TV & games)

Origin dates back to 2,000 years ago - Druids honoured the dead (Celtic culture in Ireland, England & Northern Europe) Celebration based on superstition Celts believed souls of the dead roamed at night – tormenting the living To be friendly, gifts and treats were offered: “trick-or-treating”

We are NOT “missing- out” by NOT participating in scary costumes As Christians, we are different, and not of this world As Christians, we are different, and not of this world “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul” (1 Pet. 2:11)1 Pet. 2:11

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS … "Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil.“ 1 Thessalonians 5: Thessalonians 5:21-22 "keep oneself from being polluted by the world“ James 1:27 James 1:27 "do not imitate what is evil" 3 John 1:11 3 John 1:11 “Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.“ Romans 12:9 Romans 12:9 “do not learn to imitate detestable ways, including spiritists, sorcerers and witchcraft” Deuteronomy 18:9-14 Deuteronomy 18:9-14 "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness … live as children of light" Ephesians 5:11-12 Ephesians 5:11-12
