Should Christians Celebrate The Halloween? Or Is It Against The Bible?

Is participating in Halloween a sin? The association of Halloween with ghosts, goblins, and witches, all of which are not godly means that Halloween is not something I should take part in. In the past I used the “I just want the candy” excuse, and I don’t think attending Halloween events has affected my Christianity. But is that true? By choosing to do something that I know isn’t godly, I’m sinning and sin always distances you from God.





What’s your stance on Halloween? If you are not a fan, would you let your children go “just for the candy”?

Celebrations That Displease God

“Keep on making sure of what is acceptable to the Lord.”—EPHESIANS 5:10.

“THE true worshippers,” said Jesus, “will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him.” (John 4:23) When Jehovah finds such individuals—as he found you—he draws them to himself and to his Son. (John 6:44) What an honor that is! Lovers of Bible truth, however, must “keep on making sure of what is acceptable to the Lord,” for Satan is a master of deception.—Ephesians 5:10; Revelation 12:9.
2 Consider what occurred near Mount Sinai when the Israelites asked Aaron to make them a god. Aaron acquiesced and made a golden calf but implied that it represented Jehovah. “There is a festival to Jehovah tomorrow,” he said. Was Jehovah indifferent to this fusion of true religion with false? No. He had about 3,000 idolaters put to death. (Exodus 32:1-6, 10, 28) The lesson? If we want to keep ourselves in God’s love, we must “touch nothing unclean” and jealously guard the truth against any form of corruption.—Isaiah 52:11; Ezekiel 44:23; Galatians 5:9.
3 Sadly, after the death of the apostles, who acted as a restraint against apostasy, so-called Christians who had no love of truth began to adopt pagan customs, celebrations, and “holy” days, which they dubbed Christian. (2 Thessalonians 2:7, 10) As you consider some of these celebrations, note how they reflect, not the spirit of God, but that of the world. Generally speaking, worldly celebrations have a common theme: They appeal to fleshly desires, and they promote false religious beliefs and spiritism—the hallmarks of “Babylon the Great.”* (Revelation 18:2-4, 23) Keep in mind, too, that Jehovah observed firsthand the disgusting pagan religious practices from which many popular customs originated. No doubt he finds such celebrations just as offensive today. Should not his view be what matters most to us?—2 John 6, 7.
4 As true Christians, we know that certain celebrations are not pleasing to Jehovah. But we need to be firmly determined in our heart to have absolutely nothing to do with them. A review of why Jehovah is displeased with such celebrations will strengthen our resolve to avoid anything that might hinder us from remaining in God’s love.

Not every European is a christian. Take note!    Many of them profess NO religion. And that is their right. Some Europeans will tell you OPENLY that they are a witch whilst in some other parts of the world they will hide under the cloak of christianity and practise their beliefs under the cover of darkness.

As for Nigeria - Halloween is not an Africa thing! So next topic!
