is Halloween a bad holiday?

Question

do you think God hate halloween

Answer 1

no not really

Answer 2

no hon, halloween is not a bad holiday. It was taken, like all christian and secular holidays, from the pagan practices. It was altered slightly to make it commercial. But, you are christian right? I don't believe your God hates any holiday where children laugh. I won't explain the true meaning behind halloween; it isn't important to you dear. But look at the value of any celebration. And if it makes children happy, then it is not a bad thing. Don't fear what you don't understand. Instead investigate. We have at our disposal so many resources now with the internet. Use them to find REAL PAGAN sites that explain where holidays christians celebrate originate. I promise, we won't hurt you in any way. We are basically just people too. Remember, your God doesn't preach hate dear. Be careful of leaders of religions that are intolerant of other people's beliefs. They warp the true message of any religion.
Have a wonderous day, full of love and hugs and laughter.

Answer 3

Halloween is not a bad holiday at all. Halloween could be identified with the Black Mass, a satanic carnival rejoicing in the pleasures of the flesh. Although I would strongly suggest not to confuse the two. Halloween simply represents an evening where you can live in a horror movie...pretend pretend. Some satanic rituals are held on this night, which mainly concern witchcraft where they celebrate the art of magic and give thanks to Lord Satan for granting them their gifts. It is not associated with human or animal sacrifices at all!! God, I personally think, does not have an objection towards the holiday, for the simple technicality of "free will" which he granted man. I hope you find the answers you seek. Good luck.

The information has always been there it is just that no one pays any attention!


What underlies holidays in memory of the “spirits of the dead”?

The 1910 edition of The Encyclopædia Britannica states: “All Souls’ Day . . . the day set apart in the Roman Catholic Church for the commemoration of the faithful departed. The celebration is based on the doctrine that the souls of the faithful which at death have not been cleansed from venial sins, or have not atoned for past transgressions, cannot attain the Beatific Vision, and that they may be helped to do so by prayer and by the sacrifice of the mass. . . . Certain popular beliefs connected with All Souls’ Day are of pagan origin and immemorial antiquity. Thus the dead are believed by the peasantry of many Catholic countries to return to their former homes on All Souls’ night and partake of the food of the living.”—Vol. I, p. 709.

The Encyclopedia Americana says: “Elements of the customs connected with Halloween can be traced to a Druid ceremony in pre-Christian times. The Celts had festivals for two major gods—a sun god and a god of the dead (called Samhain), whose festival was held on November 1, the beginning of the Celtic New Year. The festival of the dead was gradually incorporated into Christian ritual.”—(1977), Vol. 13, p. 725.

The book The Worship of the Dead points to this origin: “The mythologies of all the ancient nations are interwoven with the events of the Deluge . . . The force of this argument is illustrated by the fact of the observance of a great festival of the dead in commemoration of the event, not only by nations more or less in communication with each other, but by others widely separated, both by the ocean and by centuries of time. This festival is, moreover, held by all on or about the very day on which, according to the Mosaic account, the Deluge took place, viz., the seventeenth day of the second month—the month nearly corresponding with our November.” (London, 1904, Colonel J. Garnier, p. 4) Thus these celebrations actually began with an honoring of people whom God had destroyed because of their badness in Noah’s day.—Gen. 6:5-7; 7:11.

Such holidays honoring “spirits of the dead” as if they were alive in another realm are contrary to the Bible’s description of death as a state of complete unconsciousness.—Eccl. 9:5, 10; Ps. 146:4.

Answer 5

The Bible says let no man judge you on the holidays you keep.

I think it's a matter of heart. When you celebrate Halloween, are you worshiping Satan in your heart, committing sin and atrocities, or are you just having a good time with friends and family and eating some candy? If it's the latter you have nothing to worry about.

Answer 6

No it is not a bad holiday.

Halloween is the time of the year we remember lost loved ones.

Usually when a culture thinks a holiday is evil it usually gets a alturnitive version of itself......i.e. Halloween=All Saints Day Yule=Christams and so on.

Answer 7

HALLOWEEN

Halloween; it's a (GAL.4:8-10)pagan day because I have did the research.
I and my family don't celebrate this day; we acknowledge it as any other day.

To myself, I know it's a demonic day. I have seen on television a long time ago that these people celebrated Halloween and had an evil spirit in their house. The pastor took the evil spirit out, but next Halloween, it happened all over again.

I wished people came to realize how Halloween is evil and that noone should celebrate it.

But as the saying goes; they have a choice of what they want to believe in; no matter if it hurts God or their children or themselves.

IS HALLOWEEN HARMLESS FUN?

EXODUS 20:3 = "Thou shalt not have other gods before me." It tells us in verse 5 = "not to bow to them nor serve them".

Here are the texts of gods that should not be worshipped:
EXOD.20:23; 32:3,4,8-10,19-23,30
DEUT.4:19,28-31; 11:26-28; 17:3
JER.10 talks about the christmas tree
EZEK.8:13-18
DAN. 3:1-18 (tried to make Daniel's friends to bow to the image, but they didn't)

New Testament Texts:
GAL.4:8-10 (pagan feasts are: New Year's, Valentine's-Cupid, Patrick's Day, Easter-Ishtar, Halloween, Christmas, Sunday-sun{from sunset Sat. to sunset Sunday = GEN.1:5), Monday-moon-{worship after sunset Sunday which would be Sunday evening(Sun.even to Mon.even)= considered to be Monday according to GEN.1:8}. Birthdays come from pagan origin too. = (only 2 birthdays are mentioned in Bible; they are: Pharoah and King Herod)
You can find most of things in sources like encyclopedias, history, etc. that tell you it's pagan or that it comes from pagan origin.

Answer 8

No because like some human beings might want to need to imagine or maybe trust, Halloween isn't an "evil" vacation it truly is an afternoon the position you get to gown up, and get loose sweet get some scares and snigger it truly is now to not be taken so heavily it truly is unquestionably my well known time of the three hundred and sixty 5 days. satisfied Halloween do not allow peoples critiques scare you far flung from it : )

Answer 9

It is a really bad day on that day you are celebrating the devil .And on Halloween when you say trick or treat you are really telling satan if you give to me I'll give to you, and that gives him a lot of power. On Halloween if you decorate your house with ghosts and skeletons you are just telling all the bad spirits that they are invited into your home. If you don't believe me look up on YouTube, satanics giving up their story

Answer 10

Halloween as celebrated in America is a mysteryn to the rest of the english speaking and christian world. For its pagan links and for allowing children to walk the streets unsupervised.

Answer 11

No, I don't think God hates Halloween. I think he dislikes anything that takes our thoughts from him.
