KJV Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
KJV Deuteronomy 18:14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
NIV Jeremiah 29:8 Yes, this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have.
NIV Micah 3:7 The seers will be ashamed and the diviners disgraced. They will all cover their faces because there is no answer from God."
NIV Zechariah 10:2 The idols speak deceit, diviners see visions that lie; they tell dreams that are false, they give comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep oppressed for lack of a shepherd.
NIV Malachi 3:5 "So I will come near to you for judgment. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive aliens of justice, but do not fear me," says the LORD Almighty.

13 I will destroy your carved images and your sacred stones from among you; you will no longer bow down to the work of your hands.
14 I will uproot from among you your Asherah poles and demolish your cities.
15 I will take vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations that have not obeyed me."
NIV Nahum 3:4-6
4 all because of the wanton lust of a harlot, alluring, the mistress of sorceries, who enslaved nations by her prostitution and peoples by her witchcraft.
5 "I am against you," declares the LORD Almighty. "I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations your nakedness and the kingdoms your shame.
6 I will pelt you with filth, I will treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle.
NIV Galatians 5:19-21
19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions
21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Halloween is a pagan holiday, a celebration of those who have passed on. It's supposed to be a wake type thing. Guess what? Pagans don't believe in Satan!! Does it bear repeating? Satanists believe in Satan. Pagans have no deity of supreme evil in which to blame every bad thing on!! Over the centuries, Christians have proclaimed Nov. 1st to be All Soul's Day, a rememberance of loved ones passed. The Christians assimilated Halloween (originally called Samhain) so the Pagans would fall for the trick of interchangeable holidays.
So it's both a Pagan and a Christian holiday. It can be celebrated by both. Pagans don't have a problem with other people celebrating it. Oh, and the Pagans won't try to get you to convert, unlike other faiths.....

All Hallows Eve, or Halloween was a pagan ritual from a thousand years ago. Christians can celebrate the day as do any others but it can be the Harvest Festival, or Fall Festival. The candy for the kids can be the same and we can do without the devil costumes. Why would anyone want to glorify Satan by emulating him?

This is a satanic holiday, I haven't read about it for years now, so am not crystal clear with it, but it's a night when evil spirits are celebrated. Need I say more?

Some Christians don't like some of the costumes (devil), it's just like the whole witchcraft thing. You can still celebrate it, just more as a fall thing.
