What Does The Bible Really Say About Halloween?

Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?

Is Halloween Really A Satanic Pagan Holiday?

Does Scripture Tell Us Anything About It?

This is a short introductory study. If you would like to learn more of what the Bible actually says see the full study at this page Full In-Depth Bible Study

Why is it on October 31st everyone celebrates Halloween, including many Christians? What is its purpose? Do witches celebrate this day as the "Feast of Samhain"? Do they try to speak with the dead? Should Christians celebrate a pagan holiday like Halloween?
Did the founder of the church of Satan himself say that celebrating this holiday means you allow Satan to be a part of your life? Did he rejoice that Christian parents allowed their kids to participate in this day of devil worship? So should Christian children participate in any way? Did John Ramirez, a general in the kingdom of darkness, warn parents there's a much darker side of Halloween beyond candy and costumes that most of us know nothing about?

What is the Christian view on trick-or-treating, including "Trunk O Treats" where kids get treats in a Christianized version of Halloween from car trunks at church? Why do Christian children and adults dress up like evil characters that present themselves as the opposite of God's image? Do the Scriptures say anything about celebrating pagan feast days? Is it all just harmless fun? Why would a Christian encourage their kids to celebrate a holiday that is all about the very evil that God hates?

What does the Bible say in 3 John 1:11, Ephesians 5:11, 1 Corinthians 10:21, and Romans 13:12 about all of this? Read my full Bible Study below.

If Satan is a master of deception, what does Jesus think about Christians being deceptive and masquerading as evil? 2 Corinthians 11:14 says something about this very point.

Does God plainly say anything in the Bible about pagan holidays? God has a lot to say about witches, witchcraft, and sorcery in the Bible. Does God say He HATES it in Isaiah 1:14? So should Christians participate in Halloween activities when our Creator says He "HATES" it? What does God say in Zephaniah 1:8 that He will do to us if we participate in pagan holidays? Will He even punish Christians who follow pagan customs?

Have you ever noticed how many times the Bible speaks against witches, sorcery, and the occult? Galatians 5:19-21, Micah 5:12, Deuteronomy 18:14, Leviticus 19:30-31, Exodus 22:18, and Acts 19:19 all speak strongly about these subjects. Read my full study below to see more details.

Does Romans 12:2 tell us not to conform to practices of the world? How about 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22, 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, and 1 Thessalonians 5:22 telling us not to have fellowship with darkness, to reject evil, and to abstain from every form of evil? How can we participate in evil and reject evil at the same time? Does Scripture warn us in 1 Peter 5:8, Ephesians 6:12, Ephesians 4:27, and John 3:19-20 to be alert, giving no opportunity to Satan, and to expose his works of darkness rather than participate in them?

Are Christians supposed to be the light of the world, setting the right, godly example? Isn't this what Matthew 5:14-16 says to us? Should we participate in a pagan holiday that promotes all forms of evil and occult practices? Absolutely not! If you are a Christian do what the Bible says and don't celebrate pagan Halloween! Be a light!

Scripture says we should obey God. If more Christians do things God says and got in alignment with His WILL this would be a better world.
