And since God created lucifer, it's okay to participate in things that glorify him .....I see. Thank you for explaining...
Not a good sign was it dear sister . Not a good sign at all .
Something is not right about this at all . WE IS gonna stay glued to the scriptures and follow THAT CHRIST .
many men have come within and have allured many through the lusts of the flesh into another view and image of GOD and of HIS CHRIST .
I no likey the others one response either . It whiffed a bit foul to me .

While I got to as a child, overall it is just a worldly thing done, just like Christmas.

While I will go to my mom's for Christmas this year, I don't care much for it, it is one of the seasons which celebrates the Lord and I am okay with that.

Ill watch horrific movies at the theatre sometimes... but over all it is just worldly things. It doesn't account for anything in the afterlife.

In short Samhain of old, and contemporarily speaking, is not what our faithful insist it is. The ancients did not worship our devil.

But somehow, we always seek a way to make an enemy of those not like us.

Even in the church. Denominational fracture and conflicts.

Halloween today is children dressing in costume and pretending to be their favorite character in dress, while looking forward to sweet treats.

Not glorifying Satan

Maybe if we gave thanks for the harvest, we would appreciate those meals that adorn our tables when fields are fallow and the earth rests during autumn and winter, as God ordains.

However, we have no concern for eating in these times because we are able to obtain food from various sources around the globe year round.

We work for a paycheck but we rarely work for our living.

And while we may say grace at every meal, it is sustenance afforded the efforts of others. We are just blessed to be able to afford to eat it.

The gods of the old religion become the devil of the new. In the mind of those faithful to the new.

God created Lucifer.
And all people by his will and plan.
the worship of any other god is the worship of satan . HE IS the king of all false religoins and myths .
A fact folks need to hurry and to learn . Satan works through all false religoins
heck he sadly even works through a lot of churches even in christendom .
IF by the ancients you mean all those other pagan pratices , WELL they were worshipping satan .
Satan has many names , He is the muhammed of the koran , the budda , the idea of atheism ,
ANY idea or religoin that dont serve GOD , HIS CHRIST , well it do serve satan .
Even pual knew we were all once under the influence of satan . Even JESUS told the UNBELIEVING jews ye are of your father satan
and HIS WILL YE DO . SO oh yeah all other religoins cometh OF SATAN , PEROID .
But i do have good news . JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD . THE ONLY NAME whereby one must be saved .
The preaching of the DIRE NEED To believe on HIM is STILL DIRE .
And beware because many even within christendom preach another jesus and another gospel . IT AINT OF GOD
NOR OF CHRIST , it too is of satan . Wont save a one of them either .
TIME we open us some bibles and stay GLUED in them pages and be a learning .

If you're sincere, then, and you want truth .... you're willing to hear testimony from people who have come to Christ, out of satanism and witchcraft. And I will share more testimonies from people who have come to Christ out of satanic families.

Mark 4:23
[23]If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

You obviously don't take the Word of God seriously.

Jeremiah 10:2
[2]Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

1 Thessalonians 5:21-23
[21]Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
[22]Abstain from all appearance of evil.

[23]And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18
[14]Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
[15]And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
[16]And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
[17]Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
[18]And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Hosea 4:6-7
[6]My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

[7]As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

Well, as I mentioned earlier, there is recognizing the departed family members and honoring them. And even setting a place at the table they once shared.
You left out the worst part about welcoming evil spirits:
Samhain is seen by some Wiccans as a time to celebrate the lives of those who have died, and it often involves paying respect to ancestors, family members, elders of the faith, friends, pets, and other loved ones who have died. In some rituals the spirits of the dead are invited to attend the festivities.

And what the druids did in the old days was unspeakable.

I disagree. Yahava allows me freedom to choose. He deals me justly. Where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. :)

I hear you, brother. My uncle (and his wife) who was one of my cult handlers was mormon. One of my earliest memories (age 2) was a torture/trauma that was so severe, it shattered me and I left my body.

This same man took me as a 4 year old to the mayan pyramids to be used on the altar as a gateway during a 3-day satanic ritual, where infants were sacrificed daily. :(

My mother's side of the family are Illuminati and masonic bloodline (Scottish Rite) ...and actually founded that branch of freemasonry. My father's side were bloodline as well ....which makes me bloodline (illuminati/masonic). BUT GOD!!!

Halloween would have never existed if it were not for All Saint's Day.
The ASD mass (church service) and subsequent feast became one of the most boring and painful services they did every year. Nobody wanted to go as they all "had an ox in a ditch" on this day.

So the priests came up with a new tactic...
Instead of making the service more pleasant they decided to "scare" people into the services the next day with tales of werewolves, bloodsucking monsters (vampires), zombies (walking dead), and of course ugly witches wanting to curse you....
Then there's the demons and devils that would come after you....

The children, of course, would be enlisted to help...and got gifts of apples and popcorn and other treats (later became candy)

This whole notion of All Hallows Eve (like Christmas eve but different day) being a pagan holiday is just a myth...perpetuated by Hollywood and expanded upon to ridiculous levels. Because no other nation upon earth celebrates it except those involved in the ENGLISH Reformation.

So...if you think about it all the tales of gouhls are Christian themes...
The history of halloween and all hallows has been traced more than 2,000 years back to samhain. Even secular sources admit this.

Yes, and what they get communion with at that point is communion with demonic familiars who pose as those loved ones. I've seen it. When we open a door, satan and his imps walk right through it.

Thank you for your testimony.
People think none of it's real until it happens to them. We need people who have been through things like you to share and wake people up.

@JohnDB Im not even really a big movie buff or anything… I might just go to see a movie or something. People are really uptight about what people entertain themselves with. Halloween is just another one of those things. So can people who foster children, and the sleep with the children. Or a Father taking on his daughter… or even a Mother taking on her son… a lot things fleshly desires come from this world overcome people especially when they are still sitting in the dark pits of death itself. Many blame the devil, but many things are done to people and learned from people at a young age and the cycle continued.

Only one solution, Yeshua… and while people may judge me for going to see a movie, the child predator needs helps and consideration too… there are also those who are steeped deep into religous bondage, and the only way out is the death, burial, and resurrection of Yeshua… and abiding in him having faith and praying every day. Thank God sins have been paid for and those who come to him are able to ask him to cast out any bad thoughts or their own voice that starts to make them desire something that shouldnt be had.

Love does no ill to its neighbor.

Ephesians 5:6-17
[6]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
[10]Proving 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.
[13]But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
[14]Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
[15]See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
[16]Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
[17]Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Not freedom to practice witchcraft.
Scripture also says to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness and do not suffer a witch to live. But hey, that's in harmony with confusing freedom in Christ with do as thou will from Aleister Crowley.

I dont play with witchcraft anymore. Used to though. If i did it today, …. I wouldnt do it today, there is bad things that come with that stuff. Movies i dont think so as much. However people can be uptight about certain things.

I know a Christian family who keep the ashes of their dead child in a beautiful urn in his nursery.

His birthday was a week after he passed. They had all the decorations, and the cake prepaid for his pending party.
They celebrated his birthday.

We take flowers to my sister's grave, and other family, on special occasions days. Birthday, anniversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter. And, on the anniversary of their Baptisms.

Do you visit the grave of dead loved ones and pay respect?

Pagan peoples believed in an afterlife. They also believed at Samhain the veils between the living and the dead were thinned, and departed loved ones could visit their living families.

Early pagans were also animists. They believed their gods and goddesses energy was part of all they had created.


We know, all that exists are of and from the Father.
