THE TRADITION OF HALLOWEEN

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT.... THE TRADITION OF HALLOWEEN?
Song of Solomon 2:15 says, "Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes." Foxes sometime in search of food would enter into the grape orchards and devour the grapes and spoil the crop. However, the little foxes were too small to reach the grape bunches so they would chew on the vines and it would kill the whole vine. Instead of the farmer just losing his crop, he would lose his vine which was more disastrous. Spiritually some things we do or allow that we might think is little or insignificant can also be disastrous for us.

Halloween to some, is what they would consider perhaps a little compromise. However it is the "little foxes" that spoil the vines and this little compromise can open the door to other evils. Many Christians do not realise that certain traditions that are celebrated in the world have evil origins. Just because our society partakes in certain activities does not make them acceptable for Christians. We must look to Christ and His Word to see if the traditions of this world are good or evil.

Mark 7:13 says, "Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye." One very evil tradition is the celebration of Halloween.No Christian should partake in the activities of this holiday, nor should they allow their children to do so. We can discern the evil of this day by taking alook at the festivities that are associated with its celebration.Children are dressed as witches, goblins, ghosts, little devils and fortunetellers. All these are representatives of Satan's kingdom. Games played at carnivals promote fear in children as they are ushered through spook houses and horror rooms. Skeletons, black cats and bats represent death and darkness. No carnival is complete without the gypsy who tells fortunes. Satan has gained man's approval to celebrate his day by simply making it a tradition that seems like a fun day.

The opposite is true, however, as more damage and harm are done on this day each year than any other holiday. Children are taught to go door to door chanting "trick or treat." It is unchristian to demand a gift under threat of playing some trick. Police are on the alert for juvenile vandalism and caution parents to be watchful.

Satanists celebrate this as their high holy day and even offer human sacrifices to the devil. Until recently, most Christians have not questioned this traditional celebration, but rather have gone along with it by even bringing Halloween parties into the church. The earliest Halloween celebrations were not held by the early church, but the Druids in honour of Samhain, the Lord of the Dead, and his demons, whose festival fell on November 1.Halloween actually means "holy or hallowed evening." (According to the Roman calendar in which days began at midnight, the evening of October 31 was the eve before the hallowed day; hence Halloween or All Soul's Eve was kept throughout the ancient pagan world.).

It can also be called All Hallows Eve because it is the day before All Hallows' or All Saints' day, a holy day in the Roman Catholic Church, Episcopal Church, the Church of England and the Greek Orthodox Church. This festival honours all martyrs, known and unknown, who have died for the church.During the time of Constantine, these two holidays were merged in an attempt to Christianise the heathen. The church could not prevent these heathen practices, so they thought "taming'" them would be the answer. They were,of course, not to worship their gods on the church's All Saint's day. However, as it is with all compromises, soon the evil overrode the good, and hence we still honour these heathen practices by celebrating Halloween.

<p>As parents you have a responsibility not to allow your children to be exposed to these evil celebrations. What might seem to some as innocent children's games is a "little fox" that can open the door to satanic influence and even demon possession in some cases. Children can be tormented with a spirit of fear that can come through this involvement that stays with them throughout their lives. It also introduces children to witchcraft, making it easier for them to become involved in cults and occult activities. When children are taught it is alright to play with the things of darkness, it does not give them the repulsion and resistance that they need to stand against greater Satanic involvement. When the things of Satan are taken lightly, as games and fun,it sets our children up to accept evil rather than to resist it. This"little fox" is not only spreading evil to children but has been a curse for the church and our nation as well. As Christians, we should spread the word to others about the evil tradition of Halloween.

Ephesians 5:6-12 says, "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret."
