Halloween in a celebration of the dead or magic and darkness. This is a day that Satan holds dear it is their holy day and I don't want to celebrate it with them.. No one can deny that Halloween is mainly focused on fear, darkness, monsters, the occult and violence. Are these the kinds of things that we should be exposing our brother, friends or ourselves to? ...Halloween is a holiday that glorifies that which is dark, and the bible says: Genesis 4.1 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. This means that we are not to bring up that darkness again. WE are the light in Jesus, and celebrating darkness is the devils work. Jesus is our light and we should not bring the darkness into it. Another verse about darkness: Isaiah 40:10
" Who among you fears the LORD? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD And rely upon his God, and he shall be in the light.

So that is why I do not celebrate Halloween.

The original meaning of the words "Trick or Treat" goes back several years ago where trick or treaters would go up to peoples houses and ask for candy and if you did not give them some candy they would play a mean trick on you. Now in days people don't play mean tricks on you but why sould we take part in a holiday that is not founded on God and does no one a bit of good (except helping your sweet tooth get bigger). 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."
