It's pretty simple for me. Regardless of the origins, the current iteration in the culture is very dark, and light has no fellowship with darkness (2 Corinthians 6). I'm reminded of 2 Kings 18 where Hezekiah destroys the brazen serpent of Moses because people had turned it into an object of worship. Even if it started out as something good, it can become an idol.

Have some grace for people who have different convictions than you do and be able to lovingly back up your point if need be. Someone I know puts it this way, "We don't participate in Halloween, etc but we don't condemn others or try to sway others that do".

It would help if you listed the sources in the description that we could look into these things ourselves. It won’t change our mind on the holiday being totally evil at its roots, but I’d like to give the different beliefs on the origins when we discuss with our kids, or what we believe may be the closest to truth.

I know after back sliding for several years, when I came back to the Lord, I couldn't watch stranger things. It actually gave me an internal feeling to flee from it. Also, if you ask John Ramirez (ex satanist) he might have a differing opinion on why we shouldn't celebrate Halloween. Even so, many years ago when I was first saved, I got that internal feeling at anything that was wicked, including skulls on things, of which I used to love when I was in the world. I find it interesting how we go on theology, rather than the instinct God gives us to discern what's good and what's not...

Fix Halloween don’t abandon it. Same for Christmas. Don’t give up innocent fun to satan he corrupts what is good. Halloween is supposed to be about spooky costumes and candy for kids to overcome fear with a candy as a positive incentive. Not about satanism and paganism. Jackolanterns are to ward off bad spirits? It’s literally about warding off wickedness. You’re letting the wicked gaslight you and take over more of our culture.

Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2 Is it going to bring spiritual improvement? ““I have the right to do anything,” you say-but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”-but not everything is constructive.” 1 Corinthians 10:23 Does it further the gospel? Are you going to cause a brother or sister to stumble? Are my actions going to encourage sin in my neighbour? “For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more;” I Corinthians 9:19 Will it cause me to be enslaved? “All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.” I Corinthians 6:12 NKJ Does it violate my conscience? “But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.” Romans 14:23 Does it glorify God? “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” I Corinthians 10:31

Guys you dropped the ball on this one. History bears witness that just like most Catholic festivals Saints day or whatever was placed in this already pagan selebration day. And Samhain was already a pagan holy day. Which probably dates back 300 years bc or more. The first written mention of the day officially dates back to the 2nd century. A Gaulish calendar found in Coligny France which has the first day of the year as Samonios or you guessed it Samhain in October 31st. There was always a harvest festival done i this day by the druids and is very consistent with all the megalithic burrial mounds in the area where they did religious selebrations. Im not a historian or anything but I think you are wrong on this one. God bless

You're on the right trolley. So was Grandpa Simpson with his turnip talk. It's been a few years since I looked into things or listened to Stephen Dollins, but to my recollection: the druids would go door to door demanding households give someone up to be a human sacrifice. If people refused, someone in that home would die that night regardless. Usually of fright, but the people believed it was a curse or something. If the sacrifice they were coerced into giving was pleasing, the druids would place a carved turnip at the door. I believe it was also the druids who would dress up (when the veil between the world's was thinnest) in an effort to fool the spirits of their deceased enemies. (I may have some details confused, so anyone knowledgable please correct where I am wrong.) Some of these traditions carried on when they left their homeland, turnips eventually replaced by pumpkins. Once known as All Hallow's Eve, it also preceeds Devil's Night. Why would that be? 🤔 People should ask themselves that. They should also ask themselves if anything about the "holiday" glorifies The One True God and His creation. Whether or not I have my facts confused; the bottom line is nothing about it honors Our Creator. Even the joy of gathering sweet treats is celebrating gluttony. It's also symbolic of gathering sacrifices. Blood sacrifice still goes on, it's just more hidden in this day and age.

Quite honestly, it doesn’t surprise me that they are saying this. These men (and many associated with Apologia) admit to filling their minds with movies and shows that do not glorify God yet believe they are “redeeming” these things. Been there, done that, and I truly feel it stems from wanting to fit into the world. So many issues I could pick apart with this podcast, but suffice it to say I found this very disturbing. These are the people we are looking to to direct us to the Bible and how we are to discern things in our culture in this day. Not celebrating Halloween doesn’t have to be because we are fearful, it can be because Christians want to stay clear of the satanic - an abomination to God. No one can convince me that Halloween isn’t satanic in our day and you can’t redeem sin by joining in. Disappointing.

Halloween's pagan origin of Samhein is undeniable. There was an attempt to Christianize it by Catholicism but nobody can deny its origin. I deal with this by citing academic resources (rather than regurgitate unverified narratives like the Cultish podcasters) in a video teaching on the topic. However, as bad as the origin is, we need to consider how it is viewed by culture today. The fact that it it is seen as dark and occultic by culture should be a clear indicator of how the holiday should be viewed by Christians. One of the most bizarre parts of this podcast was from 35:00 - 35:37. A case is made that Christians should celebrate Halloween in the way it was intended to be celebrated. Paraphrasing someone he heard on another podcast, he says, "Christians, if we're not celebrating Halloween in the way that it can and should historically be celebrated as Christians, we're actually contributing to Samhein." And then he went on to explain a few things about Samhein and its connections to Halloween. Which is extremely illogical and contradictory to the entire argument that was made to say that Halloween is not connected to Samhein. If Halloween does not originate from Samhein, than how can not celebrating it be contributing to Samhein? And if Halloween does originate from Samhein, then you must have faulty research. You might want to think through that logic...

God majorly convicted me with participating in Halloween, so my family does not. We don’t because in my opinion it’s not pleasing to my Lord. We also don’t celebrate Christmas or Easter in the traditional way. It’s not been easy pulling away from American holidays, but like I tell my children…. I don’t want to stand in front of God and he tells me I didn’t listen. I want to stand in front of God and have him tell me he is happy that I heard, and listened to what he wanted me to do. I’m not convicted out of fear. Actually, my flesh wants to celebrate these “Holidays”…. That should be a big red flag in itself right!!!!

Regardless of how Halloween has been historically celebrated, each Christian needs to examine scripture and pray about whether or not their taking part in celebrating the holiday that Halloween has become today is glorifying to God in any way. All other opinions of man (and those are many!) come second to the conviction of scripture and the leading of the Holy Spirit in each Christian's life. Personally, I understand how Christians can use Halloween as a day to intentionally be a light to their neighbors. For my family, my husband and I are raising 5 young children so taking part at this stage of our life would be extremely confusing to them given what we are teaching them biblically about spiritual warfare, satan, witches, and the "host of wickedness" (Ephesians 6), yet that doesn't mean that we go hide from our neighbors or are rude when they stop by. Each Christian family just needs to be seeking the Lord's guidence on how He wants them to approach this day based on their own life circumstances and not worry about the opinions of others.

I was decorating up until last year. I chose only things like spiders, bats etc. but God convicted me of that. Now we decorate for fall and just leave those up. We do pass out full size candy bars with tracts taped to them. The fact is, God has let Halloween continue. He could stop it if He wants to. So if kids are going to come to my house and ask for candy, they are going to get candy with the love of Jesus attached. One year I gave out candy with a tract to this girl about 13 or 14. She left and then came running back and said “That’s really cool that you are handing these (tract in her hand) out!” I said thank you!!! That one girl gave me hope. I refuse to hide inside my house and let Satan try to rule that night. It’s a great night to share Jesus and an important night to share Jesus!

As a former witch, now redeemed thanks to God through Christ, it makes me so sad to see more and more evil decorations and costumes at this time. It is true that covens pray against Christianity on Halloween night, conduct animal and human sacrifices, and work to summon evil to effect people. I keep my cat inside the few nights before that night, and if my husband and I feel like interacting with trick-or-treaters, we hand out Bible tracts and tell them to be safe. Samhain, a witch's holiday, is a major sabbath. There are 8, and samhain is one of the major 4. It's steeped in evil, and it's horrible to see "Christian" churches and families cavorting in costume and denying the power of evil. God bless! We should be focused on the ways of God, His working through us to be salt and light in this deeply dark world. Yes, Jesus is Lord over all, but it's obvious He wouldn't smile at kids dressed as devils, even if they're just "having fun". Be safe out there friends! And God bless!

These are high holy days for the kingdom satan because during this time the veil between the spirit realm and the physical is at its thinest.

Gospel tracks do nothing but make people roll their eyes and harden their hearts to Jesus even more. Because it’s shoving something in their face that they most likely already have negative associations with and didn’t ask for. It’s time we start sharing the gospel the right and affective way: through sacrificial, loving relationship in our communities. Truly SHOWING people who Jesus was by how we care for and invest in them and then speaking of what God is doing in our lives. Not in a “I have to share this with you because I’m trying to sell you something” kinda way. But in a “This is something that is truly such a part of my life that I can’t help but talk about it” kinda way. And they’ll already know us and our character so well, our words will actually hold weight and impact.

The majority of kids were dressed up as “skin walkers”, I don’t even know what that is, some kids dressed as the Chuckey doll, zombies, grim reaper, witches, and many had demonic looking masks. I don’t think adults, Christian or not, should be watching or exposed to that stuff and kids DEFINITELY shouldn’t be exposed to it. I realize that’s the parents choice, I just don’t think it’s a good choice. Those kids dressed as skin walkers were really terrifying.

It'll only get worse, my kids don't need to think this is something I'm ok with.

It’s not up to us to start new missions like taking back what the devil or world has stolen. What we have and what is coming is far greater. We have more important things we are supposed to be doing than considering the past and fighting for what was. We are here to shine the light of Christ in the world and expose unbelievers to the kingdom.

When God convicts us from a holliday or things we have always done, it is because we are to put Him first. Once we learn His Feast, His ways then He returns to us our feast days, Hopefully to better it all. He teaches the right way to do things instead of the worlds ways. If we are to let our light shine, then we have to learn how. Remember God is spirit, we are both flesh and spirit. God created both and loves it all. Our ways are corrupt, He will fix all who want to change for the better. Many times when we try to do things His way we miss, just as any child incorrectly copies his father. But we try and one day we will be good at it and we can walk perfect as He is perfect, and be Holy as He is Holy. We also need to remember God's laws was given to a nation so no one person or family can do the whole law. It takes a nation. Our job is to find people willing to learn from God by obeying what they can from His Word, all of it. We have to be doers and not just hearers, or set back and let the world take what we know was or is good.

I enjoy Halloween. I also love Jesus. I think when believers operate in our God-given freedom, it'll shame the devil. Because he's trying to mock God, but God turns everything meant for evil for our good. Also, no day belongs to Satan. God made the day, blessed it and called it good. So, believers shouldn't be so quick to give something that belongs to God over to the Devil. Redeem the times.

@@gypsywoman9140 Santa/satan? That this happens to be an anagram seems irrelevant, except perhaps as a temptation to superstition and distraction. I’m not going to defend the modern day commercial myth of Santa Claus. It’s at best a distraction from the real meaning of Christmas and at worst a fostering of greed and fantasy in place of the holy reality of Christ’s incarnation from the Virgin for our salvation. Santa is from the Latin for Saint and Claus is a version of Nicholas. The Feast day for the great 4th century Bishop and apologist for Trinitarian Christian faith, St. Nicholas of Myra, is celebrated on December 5/6. This is the true original Santa Claus, but he obviously has nothing to do with greed, gluttony or elves at the North Pole, or Satan, whom he defeated in his own life. He was, however, known and loved for his generosity to the poor, humility, compassion and staunch defense of true Christian faith in the face of heretical ideas about the nature of Christ. Look him up…. In the meantime, come celebrate the Nativity Fast and Feast in an Eastern Orthodox Church and find out how the Christians in St. Nicholas’ day prepared for and then celebrated the Savior’s incarnation. It is opposite to its commercialized, secularised counterpart in the modern West.

If you don't want to celebrate it then don't, just don't get religiously haughty and start thinking that makes you a better Christian. Romans 14:4 Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand. 5 One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. 6 Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.

All this episode was, was giving the actual history that is often accused of being what we now celebrate as Halloween, which, as a Christian, I do not celebrate, however, I appreciate the truth. The truth is all that these fellow believers were presenting and they were not supporting the evil that is honored on today’s modern Halloween. I cannot believe, from the very first comment, the hysteria in the comments from professed Christians. How is this a frightening episode??? How is this episode supporting the celebration of Halloween?? This is just a history lesson because Christians need to be sound minded and know truth so that they do not make stuff up. America’s Halloween is not associated with the Harvest celebrations of the Ancient Celtic people. All Saints Day is also not related to what is celebrated in this country. The truth matters and we should expose the truth of what Halloween celebrates today in the country and why, as Christians, we should not have anything to do with it. Thank you For this episode! It is very informative and helpful to keep a truthful explanation of this subject.

And even then, it can be easy to forget your current middle ground is someone else's stumbling block or vice versa. My point being those clashes come out EVERY YEAR with Halloween especially.

A LOT of people here are blinded by pre-held biases and pride. When I faithfully did the research on Halloween - through scripture AND history (not blogs, ACTUAL historical documents)- I was surprised by my findings and how not black and white it is. It's origins are not what everyone says it is - its not as evil as what they say. However, in other cultures, Halloween is indeed a dark holiday (but then again, so is Christmas - there are many Satanists whom do occult rituals on this day. Doesnt mean the day is bad though). If you are a Christian and are at all offended by this video or what Cultish says- maybe that's your pride and you should check in with a humble heart. Remember to be kind to those who have different convictions, you will end up in heaven with them anyway.

Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you. I Corinthians 9:22-23 Halloween is one of the easiest ways to spread the gospel. I have my little trick or treat bags ready with a gospel track and candy. Someone's getting saved tonight! My husband and I are going to pray over it. We are planting the seed so someone can water it so the Lord will get the increase. I wish churches would tell their members to give out candy with gospel tracks in there. If they did that you would see an increase, b/ how else are you going to get to some of these people. They're coming to your house!!!! Why not come to a Christian's house and get some candy that has been prayed over and have a life-saving tool in there. I used to be against completely, but I think God for wisdom and for his word. I am not for celebrating it, but I am for sharing the gospel everyday and all day. Do it for the gospel so that some may be saved.

The guys are correct in their historical analysis. However Samhain was indeed an ancient pagan festival, celebrating the end of the lunar year etc. Megalithic tomb engravings(3-4000yrs old) demonstrate that this was an important time of the year for the people living in pre-Christian Europe. And although the etymological origins of the word 'Samhain' may bring into dispute the origins of Hallowe'en, the significance of this yearly pagan festival was profound. And yes All Saints Day is also very antiquated. What is gleaned over by a lot of modern day researchers is the context in which early Christianity spread through Northern Europe. The early Christian missionaries arrived in Ireland, for example, to find a population who had festivals and celebrations throughout the lunar year, and what happened was a ‘grafting’ or blending of Christian beliefs onto the pagan annual cycle. This can be envinced by simply observing the remains of ancient Christian Churches in Ireland, they were typically built upon sites where the local pre-Christian people congregated to practice their pagan rituals and festivals. Many people overlook the idea that in Ireland there was fostered an archaic form of Christianity that was a blend of Celtic and Christian ideals, this is the real root of Hallowe’en, all this changed with the reformation of the Catholic Church under Charlemagne, where Catholicism became the hegemonic European superpower we all know in the history books today.
