Once I learned the origins of Halloween, my family never celebrated it or dressed up to collect candy.

Having said that, I cannot ever recollect a time, when in dressing up to collect candy, that I or my friends ever participated in such pagan worship. Make no doubt, it is pagan worship.

So, I advise Christians not to participate in Halloween. However, it isn’t the unforgiveable sin.

Well, I guess if we really want to be purist, be better examine December 25 and a few other Dates and Holidays which have been expressions of a spiritual need of man which later Organized, Real Beliefs, True Dogma, THE CHURCH, sanctified for their own use. Winter soltice comes to mind.

OK, I am ready for the flames!

How did you avoid the pagan worship if what you were doing was no doubt pagan worship?
