Then you shouldn’t celebrate that pagan holiday in December either

Or the one in spring.

Halloween was never a celebration of the devil. The reason for dressing up on Halloween is to scare away demons, evil spirits, and ghosts that were thought to be free to wander the earth on the eve of All Hallowed Day. In other words, it is the opposite of celebrating evil.

Presumably, demons are terrified of tiny three year old princesses mumbling "Twick o tweat."

where in the bible does it say to dress up and scare away demons? Or to go out and collect bunches of candy that can trigger life long bad habits/addictions leading to disease etc? There really is NOTHING good about Halloween to celebrate.

Halloween was a man created annual event based on misbelief, fear etc.

Why do we want to promote or continue something that is rooted in those things?

I’m all for celebrating God for abundance, even dressing up specially, for sure thanking God for family and loved ones past and present, yes have fun, but I don’t think it pleases God when we try to justify our twisting a bit of His word/truth into an old man made ritual that was rooted in fear and misguided beliefs of man trying to eradicate evil spirits with costumes and such at best.

Just how many times do we think we know better than God before we slip into “real” sin of some kind? why teach our kids to test or go against God?
