Introduction (A Message First Given October 29, 2006)

But the shocking statistic that exists today is the growing number of professed Christians who are participating in this American holiday which has become second only to Christmas in popularity and revenue.

What is it about Halloween that is so enticing to so many Christians? Why, after being delivered from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light, are they so eager to run back to the kingdom of darkness?

Why do so many churches and denominations sponsor Halloween parties and festivals? The situation quite frankly is very puzzling for me. To the best of my recollection of the scriptures, Jesus brought light into the world, not darkness.

He came that we might have eternal life.

Most Christians whole-heartedly embrace these scriptural facts. Yet, once a year many of them turn their focus to Satan and his kingdom, all the while denying that it really actually means anything.

In my two-plus years here at RBBC, I have never done a message on the subject of Halloween. We have, however, encouraged folks to view the film “Trick or Treat” that was put out by Jeremiah Films in 2004.

And I would still encourage you if you are a Christian here today that is still celebrating Halloween or still participating in some way, to spend $20 and one hour of your time to view this film that will change your opinion of Halloween forever.

This year I felt compelled to do a message on the subject of Halloween because I believe that there are so many Christians who are still in the dark on the origins of Halloween like I once was. Growing up in the small town of Buffalo, Minnesota I can’t remember missing out on one Halloween going door to door trick or treating.

Today I want us to examine this American holiday and see if the celebration of Halloween is really as “innocent” as people say. I want you to leave here today with a clear answer to this question: Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?

And in order to help you start answering that question, let’s first take a look at the origins of Halloween. Now how many of you can honestly say that you know the origins of Halloween?

The Origins of Halloween

You see, whether we like it or not, we must accept the fact that Halloween is not just some made-up holiday. Matter of fact, if you do your homework, you will find that Halloween is part of the ancient pagan religion of the Celtics which originated in Ireland and Britain.

It’s a religion that is heavily involved with the spiritual realm and many, many pagan gods. This ancient “new age” religion has four Major High Holy Days (or festivals) each year.

And one of the festivals is called Samhain (sow-en). Now when you look at the word Samhain (sow-en) on paper, it looks like it’s pronounced “Samhain” spelled S-a-m-h-a-i-n.

Do you ever remember growing up hearing somebody say, “Where in the Samhain are you going?” I use to say it to impress all my buddies. “Where in the Samhain are you going?” That was the “politically correct” way to say it in the church, because nobody in church would be caught dead saying the word “hell.”

The funny thing is, I, along with a lot of other people, we are actually mispronouncing the word. Samhain is actually pronounced “sow-en”, with “sow” rhyming with cow. Samhain is celebrated every year on November 1st.

It is considered to be one of the most important celebrations as it is thought to mark the beginning of the Celtic New Year. According to the Celtic religion, the day before Samhain (October 31) is the last day of summer (and last day of the year) and the day after Samhain is the first day of the winter (and the first day of the new year). Follow?

And since Samhain is considered to be “between” the seasons or years, it is considered to be a very special time. The Celtics believe Samhain is a time when the division between the spiritual and physical realm becomes very thin, when hostile supernatural forces are active and spirits are free to wander as they choose.

Several traditions have arisen with the celebration of Samhain. One of these is “trick or treat.” While the origins are not clear, there are few legends that have come down to us over the years.

The first legend is that when beggars would come to the door, people would give food in return for blessings from spirits of the dead. Failure to supply treats would result in demonic retaliation.

A similar second legend said that beggars would go from village to village begging for “soul cakes” made out of square pieces of bread with currants. The more soul cakes the beggars would receive, the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of the donors.

A third legend has it that since the fairies were abroad on this night, an offering of food or milk was frequently left for them on the steps of the house so that the homeowner could gain the blessings of the “good folk” for the coming year.

Now I don’t know about you, but this third legend has an amazing similarity to the current false teachings in some parts of the church today regarding giving “seed” money to get a “harvest” of blessings for yourself. Many of the households would also leave out a “supper” for the spirits of the departed.

One thing that I have come to know in studying church history over the years is that Satan doesn’t have any new tricks. He just keeps re-packaging his old ones.

Another Halloween tradition is the “jack-o-lantern.” It also has two legends that surround its beginnings. One such legend states that originally the Irish would carve out turnips or beets as lanterns as representations of the souls of the dead or goblins freed from the dead.

However, when the Irish immigrated to America guess what? They couldn’t find many turnips to carve into jack-o-lanterns, but they did find an abundance of pumpkins.

The other legend has it that a man named Jack tricked Satan into a tree and trapped him there. After making a deal with the devil to let him go, Jack went on his way. He eventually died and the story goes, he was not allowed in heaven or hell and so was doomed to wander between the two realms.

The story concludes with the devil giving Jack an ember from the flames of hell to help him light his way. Jack placed the ember in a hollowed out turnip.

According to the World Book Encyclopedia, the jack-o-lantern is a symbol of a damned soul. Candlelit pumpkins/skulls at a home signifies that the occupants were sympathetic to Satan and therefore received mercy from spirits and trick or treaters on their Halloween rounds.

The tradition of dressing up in demonic costumes came from the idea of trying to blend in with the evil spirits so that they wouldn’t recognize you-so that they would just “pass you by.”

The tradition of “bobbing for apples” is derived from a Celtic pagan marriage custom. A lot of marriage divinations had to do with apples. In Celtic tradition, the fruit was associated with female deities who controlled the ways of love.

One of the most popular divinations was for young unmarried people to try to bite into an apple floating in water or hanging from a string. This is something like the bouquet toss that still plays a part today in wedding receptions. The first person to bite into the apple would be the next one to marry.

The tradition of bonfires is perhaps the most sickening of all practices where human sacrifices occurred at midnight. Both adults and children would be thrown into huge fires while the celebrants danced around them in demonic fits of abandon. By morning, only the bones and ashes would remain.

And so that’s where we get the word bonfire from-it actually comes from the root word “bone.” So as you invite people over to your house in the future, no more bonefires. Camfires only!

Black cats were thought to be the re-incarnation of the evil dead and were thought to be possessed with supernatural power and knowledge.

Broomsticks and witches hats were objects that when used in witchcraft supposedly transformed the sexual energy released during orgasm into psychic energy. And speaking of witches…

Witches, warlocks and witchcraft are dominant themes of today’s Halloween. Witches and warlocks generally believe themselves to be followers of the ancient religion called Wicca. This is a religion which worships nature and is an attempt to return to worshipping ancient Norse, Greek or Celtic gods and goddesses.

And whether you want to believe this or not, the Wicca religion is growing incredibly in the United States today. According to some sources, Wicca is currently the fastest growing spiritual path in the United States.

Wicca witches are currently allowed to practice their pagan rituals on United States military bases. Fort Hood gave official sanction to the first Wiccan group by giving them a place to conduct their rituals, endorsing their selection of a priestess and providing them with an Army chaplain. That’s the fruit folks that we are seeing in this country from the “Freedom of Religion.”

So that’s just some of the origins of Halloween. Once again, I would encourage you to spend $20 and an hour of your time to watch “Halloween: Trick or Treat” for more in depth information. You can purchase a copy of this video at http://www.chistiananswers.net.

Should Christians Celebrate Halloween? (Part 3)
Published October 31, 2009 by Pastor Adam Gislason

How did this happen, folks? Our natural tendency would be to just brush Halloween off as harmless fun, believing that it has no real meaning.

That same lie is behind Harry Potter.

That same lie is behind Pokemon.

Parents, in this day and age, you need to do your homework. Study what you’re allowing your kids to watch. Study what you’re allowing your kids to read. Study what you’re allowing your kids to play. There are so many subtle ways that the enemy is trying to get at your children without you even realizing it.

Halloween is not an innocent holiday. It is taken very seriously by those of the Celtic (including Wicca) religion and is considered one of their most holy days. And if that’s true, why would you want to participate?

Satan has worked very hard to get us, especially Christian, to think that Halloween is really harmless. In fact, part of the work of Satan has been to convince the world that he doesn’t exist.

And by doing so, satanic rituals such as the celebration of Samhain, are seen as not being real. When Christianity and the world celebrates the Festival of Samhain and the powers of darkness by masquerading as evil creatures or decorating their homes, schools, businesses and churches with occult symbols-Satanic power is glorified.

We are living in an age of plurality, but plurality started a long time ago. When Christianity spread to parts of Europe, instead of trying to abolish these pagan customs, people tried to introduce ideas which reflected a more Christian world-view.

Hmmm…now is that happening anywhere else in the church today-this blending of the world into the church to make Christianity more palatable? Do not be deceived folks-it’s Christianity Lite. It tastes great, but it’s less filling. This kind of deception is hitting the church today from every direction with very little discernment.

And because of this pluralism age we live in, Halloween has since become a confusing mixture of traditions and practices from pagan cultures and Christian tradition.

The Romans observed the holiday of Feralia which was intended to give rest and peace to the departed. Participants made sacrifices in honor of the dead. They offered up prayers for them and made oblations to them. This festival was celebrated on February 21st which was the end of the Roman year. However, in the seventh century, Pope Boniface IV introduced All Saints’ Day to replace the pagan festival of the dead.

It was observed on May 13. In 834, Gregory III moved All Saint’s Day from May 13th to November 1st and for Christians, this became an opportunity for remembering before God all the saints who had died and all the dead in the Christian community. October 31st thus became “All Hallows’ Eve” (hallow means saint).

And then somewhere, somehow down the line of history Satan tricked the church into coming up with the idea that it had the power to adopt pagan holidays and declare them holy to the Lord.

We see this in some of our Christian traditions of celebrating both Christmas and Easter. I hope if you are a Christian here today that you have noticed some things about both Christmas and Easter that have absolutely nothing to do with the Lord. That’s because the origins of Christmas and Easter are pagan. Do your homework.

The last time a checked, there is no scriptural basis for the church to adopt pagan holidays and declare them holy to the Lord. In fact, only the Lord is able to declare anything holy.

There is no evidence in scripture, in either the Old Testament or New Testament, of Moses, Joshua, the prophets, King David or Solomon, Jesus or the apostles ever “remembering before God all the saints who had died.”

Hell House

A recent particularly strange phenomenon within many churches is the introduction of the “Hell House” program. Quoting from one website that promotes the program:

“Hell House is an outreach event that is structured very much like a typical haunted house that people visit and walk through. Hell House capitalizes on the “Halloween” time of year, when people are thinking about ghoulish and frightening images and attractions.

Hell House is much more than a haunted house. It is a spiritually-based adventure that takes people on a 7-scene journey, each scene depicting the hell and destruction that Satan and this world can bestow on those who choose to not serve Jesus Christ. Literally, choices that can also have an end result of ushering people into hell. There is even a “Hell House Outreach Kit” available.”

One of the greatest difficulties with this “program”, and there are others like it, is that it boldly states that the Word of God is not powerful enough to change someone’s life-so instead we need to put real satanic fear into them.

Another problem is this: The program doesn’t cause someone to humble themselves before God and submit to Him for who He is. Rather it focuses on the person so that they won’t have to spend eternity in hell.

In other words, the basic message is “save yourself from eternal damnation” instead of “worship the Creator, the God of the Universe, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob simply because He is worthy to be praised.”

The truth is we all deserve to spend eternity burning in hell for our sin because the Bible says that the penalty for our sin is death (or in other words hell). And it’s only because of God’s great mercy and His love for us that He has provided a way though his son, Jesus Christ, that we may spend eternity with Him.

The website goes on say, “Hell House is cutting edge, it is shocking, it is offensive. But it is Truth.” You know terrorism is also cutting edge, shocking, offensive and true (in the sense of reality), but I would not want my child to be in the midst of a terrorist attack in order to “understand” it. Would you?

Nor do I believe that a child must see an abortion being performed (or a dead unborn baby) to understand that killing babies is wrong. We do not have to see or experience these things to know that they are wrong or to come to know the Lord.

The Bible says that faith comes through hearing and hearing the Word of God. It’s sufficient, it’s powerful, it changes lives. The Word of God causes us to realize that we can’t make it on our own.

The Word of God causes us to come to the end of ourselves and makes us aware of our sin. The Word of God causes us to see God for who He really is-the Creator of all things, the only truly perfect and good thing in all of eternity.

The Word of God brings us to the understanding that we must come to know that He is the only One we can trust and that only by His mercy can we be redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.

Is fear the method that God uses to draw someone to Him? Not according to Proverbs 29:25 which says, “The fear of man brings a snare, but he who trusts in the Lord will be exalted.”

Not according to Psalm 23:4 which says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.”

God draws men to Him through love. For God so loved the world John wrote in John 3:16. It is Satan who draws men through fear. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

And in 2 Corinthians 13:11 Paul writes, “Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.”

You see what God laid down in His Word should be sufficient-right? And if that’s true, then it’s is wrong to think that we must add the things of the world in order to make the Word of God more powerful or more palatable-right? Why have become seeker sensitive?

The Biblical Perspective on Halloween

What does Scripture have to say regarding the things of Halloween? You know the city of Ephesus was considered one of the centers of occult in the world during the first century. Paul told the church there in Ephesians 5:11 this, “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”

The word “reprove” means to expose.

So according to this passage of scripture, not only are we to not have anything to do with the deeds of darkness, such as the celebration of pagan festivals, we are to expose them for what they are as satanic, evil and of the devil.

Ephesians 5:11 is a strong scripture for those Christians who maybe don’t buy into all of Halloween, but are still planning on just letting there kids go trick or treating. Is that really what you should be letting you kids do on Tuesday night?

I guess the question that I would ask you is this: Is that or is that not fellowshipping with the unfruitful works of darkness?

In the next verse (12) says that we are not to even speak of these things: “For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

In Deuteronomy 12:30, God commanded Israel to not inquire after their gods saying, ‘How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?’

Paul told the church at Rome to reject these things of the world. Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Contrary to some of the teachings in the church today, we are not to be conformed (or to conform the Word of God) to this world. We are supposed to renew our minds with the Word of God so that we may preach His message, not the message of Satan.

We cannot seek after God and the things of darkness at the same time. Paul new that. In 1 Corinthians 10:21-22 he wrote, “Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?”

We must separate ourselves from the world. It doesn’t matter if we look strange or if we are not “accepted”. Jesus Himself had much to say to His disciples (and us) regarding this very topic.

He said in John 15:19, “If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. In John 12:25 he said, “He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.”

A part of the reasoning from Christians who celebrate Halloween is that their children are part of this world and they want them to be accepted. They don’t want them to “miss out” on something.

This usually goes along with the belief that Halloween is not real anyway so what difference does it make if we celebrate it or not. And I can sympathize with wanting to be accepted.

However, as a follower of Jesus, we must die to the flesh, which is what is demanding to be accepted. Think about it. We don’t let our teenage children have sexual relations outside of marriage just because it is acceptable in the world today.

So why would we worry about their not being accepted because they do not celebrate a demonic holiday? We must point them to the light, not to the darkness.

The deception of the celebration of Halloween is so subtle folks. For some, it’s hard to see it as demonic and evil. After all, it’s just some children dressing up as monsters and witches, going door-to-door “trick or treating”, right?

Is there any real harm in it? People ask the same questions when reading horoscopes. Most people think it is just foolishness anyway, so why not do it? Is it just foolishness? Does God really care if we celebrate Halloween (or read horoscopes or Harry Potter)?

I would submit to you this morning that He does. Look again with me at or scripture for today: Deuteronomy 18: 9-14. God speaking through Moses to the Israelites said them, 9 “When you enter the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those nations. 10 “There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12 “For whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD; and because of these detestable things the LORD your God will drive them out before you. 13 “You shall be blameless before the LORD your God. 14 “For those nations, which you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice witchcraft and to diviners, but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you to do so.”

And again in Exodus 22:18, “You shall not allow a sorceress (witch) to live.”

John in Revelation 21:8 heard a voice from the throne saying, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” God declared to Israel in Micah 5:12, “And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers.”

There are Christians around the world who are being persecuted for being “different”. They will not conform to the ways of the world. That’s a great lesson for us to learn in what it means to really be a Christian.

We are not enter into the ways of the world. We are in the world, but not of it. Can you see Peter and his wife taking their children “trick or treating” if it had existed at the time? Can you picture Jesus passing out treats at the door to the little children that He loved so much?

I don’t think so. Why, then, would the followers of Jesus do it?

By participating in the customs of Halloween whether in fun or ignorance, we are continuing in practices which have been consecrated to Satan. People who love the Lord should stand in separation from these things and not compromise.

Christians can gather together on Halloween and use the night to educate themselves on the dangers of paganism. They can hand out tracts that tell the real truth behind Halloween. They can pray against the powers of darkness in their community because the fight isn’t against flesh and blood.

The apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Amen.

Now What Do We Do?
Published October 7, 2009 by Paul Proctor
NewsWithViews.com

Even the money we use to buy and sell with – the world’s reserve currency – is an illusion that is quickly losing its appeal in the global marketplace. Americans may soon be the only people on earth that take U.S. dollars for goods and services – but for how long is anyone’s guess.

As I write, the Independent is reporting “the demise of the dollar” – that “Arab states have launched secret moves with China, Russia and France to stop using the US currency for oil trading.” Japan and Brazil are reportedly following suit. And, there’s no reason to believe it will stop there.

Because the dollar has long been the world’s reserve currency, most of it has been in circulation and in storage overseas. Imagine what will happen to its value when all of that unwanted currency comes back home to America from the countries that no longer want it or need it.

Remember; the more there is of something, the less it’s worth. An item’s rarity and desirability are what determines its value – not the numbers printed on it.

Take a rock from your front yard down to McDonalds and see if they’ll give you a hamburger for it. My guess is, they won’t since the owner of McDonalds can’t buy more hamburger meat and buns from his supplier with rocks that customers offer him over the counter because rocks are not rare and therefore aren’t valuable. A homeless man can fill his pockets with rocks off the street – but they won’t buy him a hamburger no matter how many he gives the guy behind the register or what numbers he scratches on the rocks that he offers. They’re still just rocks.

When Americans wake up and realize that the dollars they have in their wallets and purses and on account at the bank are little more than surplus paper, they’re not going to desire them anymore than China, Russia, France, Japan or Brazil. When this happens, it’s going to be like shopping with rocks.

The day is coming when food is going to become a lot more rare and desirable than green paper with numbers on it. Even though I’ve never tried it myself, I’m quite sure that money is not very tasty, nutritious or sanitary, for that matter, though it could be filling, I suppose, if you ate enough of it. And, if the gas and electric company quit taking dollars, we could always burn them in our furnaces and fireplaces, if we had to, to stay warm in the winter.

As if our declining economy and currency weren’t enough to bear, we Americans are losing our country as well, along with all the rights, freedoms, privileges and responsibilities that came with being a citizen. In fact, it would appear the United States no longer belongs to its citizens. Even the word “citizen” has lost its meaning here. No, our country belongs to men of great wealth, power and privilege who rule from the shadows, recognize no borders and fear little in life but the light of truth.

From the pew to the pulpit – from Main Street to Wall Street and from the voting booth to Capitol Hill – it’s mostly a charade now – driven by “the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.” (1st John 2:16)

Should we be surprised? After all, this isn’t the Garden of Eden – nor is it the Promised Land. That means we have no eternal guarantee from God that He’ll sustain us as a nation indefinitely though He did give warning long ago about the hell that awaits nations that forget Him. But, as great and powerful as America once was, I have yet to find any mention of it in scripture. That ought to be humbling and a little disquieting for professing Christians here.

You see, empires come and go. History has taught us that their “15 minutes of fame” is a little over two hundred years which means America has statistically run its course.

So, what do we do now?

Do we take up the sword and our own perceived morality to exact vengeance on those we believe are to blame for the fall of our kingdom or do we take up our cross and follow Jesus to His?

This is the controversial question before us.

America is collapsing not because we have failed to fight our enemies, but because we have forgotten God, and in doing so, have made Him our enemy. Sure, we vehemently claim Him as our own but live day to day like He’s not there or doesn’t care what we think or say or do – like America is God’s home and we have some divine right to reside here forever.

But, that home has become a vain, vulgar and violent place under the throne of a righteous and holy God whose kingdom is not of this world. And, foreclosure is coming friends, because we’ve been living large on borrowed money, borrowed blessings and borrowed time.

“…Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” – Matthew 4:17b
