Howdy! What kind of costumes do you think Christians should or shouldn't wear in Halloween?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

We hope the site problems here are now solved, however,

I think anything that isn't unnecessarily gruesome or immodest is fine. Lots of kids go as Disney princesses, superheroes. I think that's wholesome & fine.

I heard some people saying dressing up as a nun, priest or monk is disrespectful toward Lord's servants.

I am personally dressing as King Arthur (the character of my profile picture). I just love his stories.

Halloween is not mentioned in the bible. Go do some research on it.
Halloween - Wikipedia
Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
How does celebrating Halloween give glory to Jesus? Are you thankful for it? If you dress up as an angel ... does that make it ok?

We give glory to Jesus in all chances, not only the ones we "think" we do.

Halloween became stupid to me by the time I was 20; now that I'm 42 my view hasn't changed. Guess I was mature for my age at the time.

I would wear a costume for a Halloween party. If there was a party I may go as a butterfly.

Many things are not mentioned in the Bible. Computers, for example, are not mentioned, but you are typing on one.

You are comparing using a computer to celebrating Halloween? LOL
well ... I guess if you are convinced there is nothing wrong with it and believe the Lord puts His blessing on it, then that's between you and the Lord.

I am sure that God is offended by witches who celebrate Samhain today. However, I don't think He objects to children putting on costumes and collecting candy. As I said in a similar thread, if you disagree with trick or treating by all means do not pass out candy tonight.

I live very remote and have not had tricker-treaters ever, 25 years. Before I became Christian I did allow my child to trick or treat ... but that was before I was aware of its origins as (I was brought up in a non-christian home) and by the time that happened he had "grown out of it" and had no interest in it. And yeah, if my living circumstances were different yeah ... the light would not be on as one has the choice to participate or not ... and that don't make a person mean or anything ... just choose not to participate just like in a lot of things. Doubt the Lord we hold be accountable for not participating.
