Questions we must know how to answer – Halloween II – Should a believer celebrate Halloween?
NO. It is a deception. Elohim gives us some clues.
Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who change darkness into light and light into darkness, who change bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter!” CJB
Halloween extended itself into the catholic church celebrating saint’s day which, later became hallows day. It comes from the Celtic (Irish) catholic culture in which the druids celebrated a day of ghosts, diviners, and omens. Halloween is a celebration of witchcraft and communicating with the dead. The word Halloween comes from Holy – Evening. Hallows Eve. It is a celebration to remember the dead (All Saint day). The people will give gifts for protection for the coming year from ghosts.
Luke 9:60 “Yeshua said, “Let the dead bury their own dead; you, go and proclaim the Kingdom of God!” CJB
Deuteronomy 18:9-12 “9 “When you enter the land ADONAI your God is giving you; you are not to learn how to follow the abominable practices of those nations. 10 There must not be found among you anyone who makes his son or daughter pass through fire, a diviner, a soothsayer, an enchanter, a sorcerer, 11 a spell-caster, a consulter of ghosts or spirits, or a necromancer. 12 For whoever does these things is detestable to ADONAI, and because of these abominations ADONAI your God is driving them out ahead of you.” CJB
There are several scriptures about communicating with the dead; here are two.
Leviticus 19:31 “31 “‘Do not turn to spirit-mediums or sorcerers; don’t seek them out, to be defiled by them; I am ADONAI your God.” CJB
Psalms 115:17 “The dead can’t praise ADONAI, not those who sink down into silence.” CJB
Halloween’s principalities are inherent in darkness. Even if you are not dressing up as a dark character or engaging in harmless activities, you are participating and opening yourself and your child to dark principalities of the spirit world and engaging in a holiday that is against the character and commandments of Elohim God.
Isaiah 8:19-20 “So when they tell you to consult those squeaking, squawking mediums and fortune-tellers; [you are to answer], “Shouldn’t a people seek their God? Must the living ask the dead 20 for teaching and instruction?” For they will indeed give you this unenlightened suggestion.” CJB
1 John 1:9 “9 If we acknowledge our sins, then, since he is trustworthy and just, he will forgive them and purify us from all wrongdoing.” CJB
