Can we as christians celebrate halloween? Some christians say yes while others say no? State your opinion and why..

I grew up with halloween. I never thought there was anything wrong with it. My Christian parents didn't either.However now I see it for what it really is. Virtual devil worship. I have to say that no it's not ok.

I agree with you 100% and that's all I'm saying

Well, I can only say that, growing up my family celebrated Halloween and it didn't take away MY salvation. However, being more informed about Halloween, if I ever have children, I think I'll let them go to an "Autumn Celebration" at a church, and dress up as something nice rather than doing the traditional thing.

I don't celebrate Halloween because I'm suspicious of it. It doesn't glorify God in anyway.

 

[Lycana]

Well, that's true enough

I dont celebrate Halloween , because i was convicted by the Holy Spirit not to, and to not give glory to satan. I feel that is an invidual decision that needs to be prayed about .

 

[Slayton]

Im sure we all do many things every day that does not glorify God...Im just not seeing how people can perceive halloween as evil unless they choose to let it be evil.

Im just not following how 5 year olds are worshipping satan by dressing up as kittens and eating candy...

I know how you feel but if Jesus were here would He be making plans to celebrate with you?

I mean I use to take my kids out too and couldn't see depriving them of this fun night...till I realised that this was an abomination to God and He Hates this day....

I know it has to be something that God shows you by his Spirit so please don't feel like I am judging, as I am just sharing my experience...like I said I was doing this in my past so who am I to judge?

If Jesus were here, I think that He'd be making plans to celebrate every day with us. God makes every day - each day is an opportunity for us to celebrate God and enjoy His creation, including October 31. I really don't think that God hates that day. I'm sure that He hates some of the things that are done by some people on that day - but then I'm sure that He hates some of the things that are done by some people every other day of the year too.

Psalm 118:24 This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

That verse applies just as much to October 31 as to any other day of the year.
