I just wrote a tract to hand out for this time of the year, to Christians who celebrate it.
Why Do Christians Celebrate Halloween?
Can we agree that halloween is an evil day?
This should be obvious to born again bible believing Christians. But today, many Christians, even most Pastors, celebrate halloween in some form or another.
They claim that they are not celebrating evil but countering it with good activities like trunk or treat, and the like.
Former and deceased pastor David J Meyer, stated in his halloween tract, “Halloween and the Forces of Darkness”:
“Halloween is the most important of the eight sabats in witchcraft and is known to the witches by the Scotch-Gaelic word “Samhain”,”.....”It is believed that on that night, the barrier between this world and the next, known as the astral plane, becomes very thin.”
Shouldn't we be praying against such things, instead of joining in on it?
Not convinced yet?
Psalm 101:3, “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.”
If we are not to set anything wicked before our eyes, wouldn't that also include giving place to halloween?
Can you make something evil, good?
Romans 3:8, “And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,)
Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.”
According to this verse, absolutely not.
This verse also goes on to conclude that those who do such, bring damnation upon themselves!
Ok, but what about dressing up as a 'good' witch?
Deuteronomy 18:10-12,
“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,
11 Or a
charmer, or a
consulter with familiar spirits, or a
wizard, or a
necromancer.
12
For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.”
No where does God distinguish between a 'good' witch and a 'bad' witch. All witches are an abomination to God.
Here is a list of some works associated with witchcraft and halloween, that can damn the soul:
Galatians 5:19-21, “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery,
fornication,
uncleanness,
lasciviousness,
Idolatry,
witchcraft,
hatred,
variance,
emulations,
wrath,
strife,
seditions,
heresies,
Envyings,
murders,
drunkenness,
revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
Since halloween is evil, and can not be made good: What does it mean to take something evil and try to make it good?
Isaiah 5:20, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
Look out!
Brothers and Sisters, we shouldn't be messing around with anything to do with Halloween.
Steer clear of it for your souls' sake.
Proverbs 29:2, "...when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."
Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
Revelation 3:11, "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."
Matthew 28:20, "...I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
