Should Christians celebrate halloween? Why or why not?

Answer 1

No becuase its about worshipping the dead. About Hell adn ghosts and evila dn death and killing and anythgin that relates to that. People thinkits harmless cuz its about pumkins and costumnes but its not. If they read and research they will see that it is celebrating the bad thigns that satan represents. Its about monsters adn dying and everything evil. Just read go to this website: http://www.allaboutpopularissues.org/origin-of-halloween.htm and also this too,: http://allaboutgod.com/origin-symbols-of-halloween-faq.htm and lastly this: http://allaboutgod.com/origin-halloween-faq.htm

Answer 2

You don't avoid Church because there's sinners in it, why avoid Halloween for the same reason.

Nothing about Halloween is anti-Christian, so why not. There is no biblical reference to it being the Devil's birthday, and definitely nothing in the holiday that addresses it. It's just silly rumor, with no religious basis.

Celebrating the dead is not anti-Christian. Christ died, and Christians celebrate him. I see more depictions of a dead/dying Christ on the cross than I do of a living Christ. And many Christians pray to Mary, or the saints. Who do you think they're praying to, if not their souls. They're praying to people that are not alive, yet they think that their prayers are heard. Halloween celebrates the souls of the dead too. No conflict there.

Dressing up certainly has no conflict with Christian faith. In the middle ages, Christians had costume parties for Christmas, and Mardi Gras has Christian roots. So the only concern is the selection of some of the costumes. So, don't wear a costume you don't like.

Halloween provides an opprtunity for kids to know their neighbors. Carving pumpkins is innocent fun, and eating candy is, well, eating candy. Go out, enjoy the family-friendly night, break bread with neighbors (or at least share candy), and have a good time.

Halloween is profit for business people big superstore etc are the ones who benefited the Halloween everybody ask about outfits, what to wear, Halloween is a party Christians or not love to jump in.

Answer 4

Sure, my church use to have Halloween parties when I was a kid. no where is it written that it's the devils birthday.... superstition.
All Hallow's Eve is the night before the day of the dead, when a lot of Catholics ( Hispanics mostly) honor dead ancestors. That's how it started.
Now it's just people going around in costume in an old tradition of dressing up to scare away demons that they thought came out the night before the day of the dead....
I personally don't believe demons come out on Oct 31st, but love to dress up & hand out candy to little kids.

Go for it.

Answer 5

I think Halloween as currently done is a secular event, so sure why not let the kids have their fun.

Answer 6

I'm no Christian, but surely if you god had a problem with attempting to scare the wits out of each other for one day it would be mentioned somewhere? I'm an atheist myself, but even my pagan friends think it's just for kicks, so where's the harm?

Answer 7

Answer 8

If they want too yes, because No religion should make a decision for you or they are brain washing your soul.
