Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?

from what i can gather, TS is quite sure that "evil" is at its peak during this Halloween... dli ba na inig "Good" Friday when the jesus supposedly died on the cross?

so i say, Relax and "celebrate" (or party, that's a lot less evil term). Seriously, donning a witch costume will not increase any "evil" powers' potency nor will it let any foul creatures from spawning somewhere. take a look at it this way, you're partying because its you're way of saying good bye to these evil creatures coz guess what, they're gonna succumb to the goodness soon. (when you finally take off your costume :P).

You probably mistaken HALLOWEEN ang ALL SAINTS and SOULS DAY which is ang Nov 1 and 2 respectively . Sayop ka 'nyor .

These are all TRADITIONS .... no crime done . DOnt forget that without celebrations , walay structure ang Christians unless ang dili Katoliko kay ang celebration na gipasabot kay kana mag wave2 sa kamot unya kuyap kuyap , hilak hilak maka dungog sa testimonies , etc .

what I don't understand is why some people celebrate it by wearing costumes nga makahadlok..

give me enaf reason daw nga na blind ko sko beliefs nga dapat ba mag celebrate ang Christians ug mga demonic festival like hallowen? unsaon nimo pag bind ang Christianity sa halloween?


even witches, satanists, Gothic & Vampire Cults etc... They believe that it is a time when the "Spirits" (demons) are at their peak power and they love Halloween.


regnauld, if you are a Christian and claiming to be followers of Christ, how could we reflect Christ image if you are celebrating this demonic festival of Halloween?

Whats your basis that hallowwen is EVIL...can you give me some references and scholarly research?

Use your CRITICAL THINKING!

Halloween (also spelled Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints, but is today largely a secular celebration.
Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

Asa may naka EVIL ana?

no because instead of offering prayers for all souls in purgatory, our minds are occupied with halloween which is of no effect in salvation
