If you are a true christian you don't take candy, you take the holiday altogether and use it as a tool to convert everyone else.
Think Easter....real Christians don't care about candy, or culture, they care about conversion and spewing their dogma.
Halloween to Christians is a time to hand out their particular candy, so coated in good intentions and misinformation that it truly rots the minds, and teeth, of all so unfortunate enough to chew and swallow.

The roots of Halloween are filled with Christianity. All saints day was celebrated by midevil christian Europeans. It was the church that tried to quell the holiday when it found out about the Celtic festival of the harvest. Most of the evil stories and events surrounding Halloween were concocted by the church...

Halloween is not a religious holiday any more really. It's just a fun celebration of scary things. Take the candy. And a "true christian" can mean many things. There are catholics, methodists, lutherans, roman catholics, etc.

it is very acceptable just so long as you are not worshipping the candy as an idol. You know your own heart and that is what counts. It is not a betrayal to God to accept the candy. Try to keep it in perspective.

Sure, if you don't mind burning for all eternity in a lake of hellfire.
Practically speaking, only Pay Day candy bars are worth that kind of punishment. And possibly Nerds gum. If it'sTootsie Rolls or something, forget it.

Halloween IS a Christian holiday. The Pagan holiday it comes from is Samhain, and you're not celebrating Samhain. You're celebrating Halloween, the Christian version.
Don't worry about it.

You can accept it, if the teacher intended it as a "Harvesttime TREAT!" Those are yummy and don't rot your soul like Halloween candy does.
