QuoteThe Danger of Celebrating Halloween
By Kimberly Daniels
Guest Writer

CBN.com â€" Halloweenâ€"October 31â€"is considered a holiday in the United States. In fact, it rivals Christmas with regard to how widely celebrated it is. Stores that sell only Halloween-related paraphernalia open up a few months before the day and close shortly after it ends. But is Halloween a holiday that Christians should be observing?

The word "holiday" means "holy day." But there is nothing holy about Halloween. The root word of Halloween is "hallow," which means "holy, consecrated and set apart for service." If this holiday is hallowed, whose service is it set apart for? The answer to that question is very easyâ€"Lucifer's!

Lucifer is a part of the demonic godhead. Remember, everything God has, the devil has a counterfeit. Halloween is a counterfeit holy day that is dedicated to celebrating the demonic trinity of : the Luciferian Spirit (the false father); the Antichrist Spirit (the false holy spirit); and the Spirit of Belial (the false son).

The key word in discussing Halloween is "dedicated." It is dedicated to darkness and is an accursed season. During Halloween, time-released curses are always loosed. A time-released curse is a period that has been set aside to release demonic activity and to ensnare souls in great measure.

You may ask, "Doesn't God have more power than the devil?" Yes, but He has given that power to us. If we do not walk in it, we will become the devil's prey. Witchcraft works through dirty hearts and wrong spirits.

During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches.

Even the colors of Halloween (orange, brown and dark red) are dedicated. These colors are connected to the fall equinox, which is around the 20th or 21st of September each year and is sometimes called "Mabon." During this season witches are celebrating the changing of the seasons from summer to fall. They give praise to the gods for the demonic harvest. They pray to the gods of the elements (air, fire, water and earth).

Mother earth is highly celebrated during the fall demonic harvest. Witches praise mother earth by bringing her fruits, nuts and herbs. Demons are loosed during these acts of worship. When nice church folk lay out their pumpkins on the church lawn, fill their baskets with nuts and herbs, and fire up their bonfires, the demons get busy. They have no respect for the church grounds. They respect only the sacrifice and do not care if it comes from believers or non-believers.

Gathering around bonfires is a common practice in pagan worship. As I remember, the bonfires that I attended during homecoming week when I was in high school were always in the fall. I am amazed at how we ignorantly participate in pagan, occult rituals.

The gods of harvest that the witches worship during their fall festivals are the Corn King and the Harvest Lord. The devil is too stupid to understand that Jesus is the Lord of the Harvest 365 days a year. But we cannot be ignorant of the devices of the enemy. When we pray, we bind the powers of the strong men that people involved in the occult worship.
Halloween is much more than a holiday filled with fun and tricks or treats. It is a time for the gathering of evil that masquerades behind the fictitious characters of Dracula, werewolves, mummies and witches on brooms. The truth is that these demons that have been presented as scary cartoons actually exist. I have prayed for witches who are addicted to drinking blood and howling at the moon.

While the lukewarm and ignorant think of these customs as "just harmless fun," the vortexes of hell are releasing new assignments against souls. Witches take pride in laughing at the ignorance of natural men (those who ignore the spirit realm).

Decorating buildings with Halloween scenes, dressing up for parties, going door-to-door for candy, standing around bonfires and highlighting pumpkin patches are all acts rooted in entertaining familiar spirits. All these activities are demonic and have occult roots.

The word "occult" means "secret." The danger of Halloween is not in the scary things we see but in the secret, wicked, cruel activities that go on behind the scenes. These activities include:

* Sex with demons
* Orgies between animals and humans
* Animal and human sacrifices
* Sacrificing babies to shed innocent blood
* Rape and molestation of adults, children and babies
* Revel nights
* Conjuring of demons and casting of spells
* Release of "time-released" curses against the innocent and the ignorant.

Another abomination that goes on behind the scenes of Halloween is necromancy, or communication with the dead. Séances and contacting spirit guides are very popular on Halloween, so there is a lot of darkness lurking in the air.

However, Ephesians 1:19-21 speaks of the authority of the believer and the exceeding greatness of God's power in us (the same power that raised Christ from the dead). It goes on to say that that Jesus is seated in heavenly places far above all principalities, power, might, dominions and every name that is named. The good news is that because we are seated in heavenly places with Jesus, the same demonic activity that is under His feet is under our feet, too!

People who worship the devil continue to attempt to lift him up. But he has already been cast out and down! Many are blinded to this fact, but the day will come when all will know he has been defeated once and for all.

When we accept Jesus but refuse to renounce Satan and his practices, we are neither hot nor cold but lukewarmâ€"and the Word says that God will spit us out of His mouth. The problem with lukewarm is that it attempts to mix the things of the devil with the things of God. It is God's desire that we serve Him alone.
Second Corinthians 6:15 asks the question, "And what agreement has Christ with Belial?" As believers, we need to answer that question in our hearts. We must avoid the very appearance of evil. I would not want a demon spirit to mistake me for an occult worshiper.

There is no doubt in my heart that God is not calling us to replace fall festivals and Halloween activities; rather, He wants us to utterly destroy the deeds of this season. If you or your family members have opened the door to any curses that are released during the demonic fall festivals, renounce them and repent. I already have. Then declare with me: "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!"

Or perhaps they should lighten up and realize it's about kids dressing up and getting buttloads of candy.

Hismikeness

LEAVE HALLOWEEN ALONE!

About 5 or 6 years ago, I remember that Halloween was on a Sunday, and some fundamentalists were pretty pissed and said the same sort of things.

My dad put it bluntly with something like "What's so demonic about dressing up as Lance Armstrong?"

I love Halloween. <facetious> I plan on breaking out the Ouija board and practicing some necromancy to my great overlord Lucifer after I carve my demonic turnips into lanterns to light the way for all the souls pouring forth from the underworld to await judgement on this fine and breezy Samhain.</facetious>  Or maybe just take the progeny trick or treating.

Geez!  Can't we have a frickin' holiday from another culture?  Must these people take over effing everything?  I mean really, one entire holiday survived relatively unscathed and managed to not be completely and totally distorted in some bizarre way by the Catholic Church and these people will never get over it.

<facetious and Celtic>Someone sick some fairies on this CBN moron.</facetious and Celtic>

What does CBM stand for?

Anyways, holidays aren't about serving the lord. They're about getting wasted off your rocker, eating a bunch of good food, and praying at the porcelain altar.

* Sex with demons
Is that different than sex with angels? (Gen 6:1-2)
* Orgies between animals and humans
Like in Ezekiel 23:20?
* Animal and human sacrifices
That's like half the Old Testament and exactly what happens to Jesus in the New Testament.
* Sacrificing babies to shed innocent blood
Like the binding of Isaac? (Gen 22:1-24)
* Rape and molestation of adults, children and babies
Yeah, that's all over the Bible, too. (Judges 21:10-24, Deut 20:10-14, Deut 21:10-14)
* Revel nights
Huh?
* Conjuring of demons and casting of spells
Hey, if you can prove it's happening with verifiable evidence, I'll help you stop it.
* Release of "time-released" curses against the innocent and the ignorant.
Hahaha... what are they, gel-caps?

^  

I had a teacher in 5th grade who wouldn't let us celebrate Halloween cause of stuff like this.

Quote from: "Will"* Release of "time-released" curses against the innocent and the ignorant.

ROFL.   lol

Very good. On another note, I would have sex with a demon, they are bound to know some pretty amazing tricks in the sack.

I also liked this part of the loony's position

What on earth does he think Christmas is all about? I am willing to bet he chooses not to believe it was based on the winter solstice.

Really? But isn't it the perfect time to pass out Bible verses to the kiddos?

Children are victims of their parents. If their parents want them to focus on representations of evil, then children will do so. But to answer your question, yes, children live in darkness. The only difference between children and adults, is that children live in darkness out of ignorance and adults who live in darkness do it because they enjoy evil.

Either we got a cuckoo or a troll. Jesus, I hope it's a troll.

Carico, preaching is against HAF rules, if you want to continue making claims about children (or adults) "living in darkness" you are going to have to back them up with some sort of reasoned argument.

Actually, you are partially right. Millions of children in the US are indoctrinated every year into religion before they are mentally developed enough to make their own decision as to whether there is or isn't a god. In that respect, religious parents force their children to focus on representations of evil, as you put it. That evil being religion.

I'm incredulous that it is allowed to happen on such a massive scale, frankly.

Carico, somnabulism insofar notwithstanding particularly between matter of taste, the means by which you have rectally regurgitated antiquated sophistry imprimateurs upon the camaraderie of this forum. With elegant, yet fictional posturing through which I concede no antiquated pointedness, I acquiese nothing from your neuronal antipathy matter, thus the intellectual posturing through which you also acquiese nothing is rendered inchoate and incomprehensible, as well as dismally unsatisfying.

Soh 'git.
