hehe well it is a holiday involved with other forms of worship. it has orgins with wiccan and babaylon customs, riturals. So according to the bible it is not acceptable to God for his people to be involved in that kind of behavior.

Halloween is typically a time for kids to dress up and have fun. However Samhain (a Pagan holiday) falls on the same day. That has nothing to do with any devil or satan, its just time for us to remember our loved ones who have died!

Halloween was originally a pagan festival to celebrate the dead Sammas. With the growth of early christianity the church used these festival days to replace them with christian holidays 'all hallows eve' from where we get Halloween. So no i dont think has anything to do with the devil, that seems more from he commercial side to make it spooky.

There are real forces at work in Creation. In Genesis, it calls
them "waters".
All Souls Day is when the "spirits" are drawn TO the Earth. Some are negative beings. Make no mistake. But many are benevolent.
Did you know Jesus rose FROM the "dead" 6 months later?

It's a celebrating of the fall equinox...and it involves tootsie rolls.
I doubt that the devil is trying to spread his evil influence through refined sugars.

Yes,I believe it was the Druid's New Years Eve, the night they offered their human sacrafices. And isn't that strange the following day the Catholic religion celebrates All Saints Day.

I know it's not of the devil. Research it, you'll find it's just a cultural holiday.
Now, if we want to get technical... Lying is of the devil... even lying about heathens and our holidays. *wink* (not saying you did.... just pointing out how common this one is lol)

....... no i do not agree with that at all ,, Halloween is just a super fun holiday .. kids get to go trick or treating .. every one can dress up as whatever they like for one day.. people should not read so much into things and just enjoy the fun..

Holloween is only of the Devil if you make it of the Devil. Thanksgiving has some somewhat sinister roots also, but nobody questions it...
