Christianity and Halloween: A Critical Examination | Paul Washer, John MacArthur



In this thought-provoking video, we delve into the complex relationship between Halloween and Christianity. Join us as we examine the historical origins of this holiday, its connection to pagan practices, and its potential conflict with the core principles of our faith. With unwavering conviction, we explore why devout Christians should consider refraining from participating in Halloween. Discover how our commitment to Christ’s teachings can lead us to walk in the light of righteousness, love, and grace, and how embracing Halloween may diverge from this path. Join the discussion and consider the impact of Halloween on your personal walk with Christ, as we strive to shine as beacons of His love in a world that occasionally embraces darkness.

  1. Don't celebrate any holiday or birthday or anniversary…then take all the money you saved and put it in a bag and hand it over to your Pastor!!! Oh and that's in addition to 10% of your gross income and don't forget to support all the church functions in addition to that with your time and your money!!!

  3. Um… wearing a suit while you say not to dress like the world….. should you also be terrified? Modern day Pharasees are real. However, it is true that we should be set apart from the way of the world. That takes wisdom and discernment.

  4. Legalism! What Halloween is, today, is has nothing to do with pagan activities of years ago. I've ministered to many people caught up in real witchcraft, both males and females, and they are nearly always deceived into believing they will gain power from it. And that is a huge problem, that people seek power. Satan gives to people what they want when he can trap them.

    I spent twenty years, full time, dealing with witches (and others) in a deliverance ministry, and most had been told it's an earth religion to do with herbs. They might even admit they worship 'Mother Earth.' Wicca is a worldwide religion, promising power. Then when a candidate has been initiated, they may, at a later date, be offered more power by receiving the 'Book of Shadow.' It's not a book at all, but the desire for more power traps them. The details of this ceremony include being drugged, and then raped by thirteen men to ensure a pregnancy. The victim is told that the coven will take care of their medical needs. When a child is born, the victim is told their child didn't survive the birth, when in fact, the child is taken and sacrificed. It's all neatly planned and carried out, and nobody outside the coven knows what happened.

    Many women who become Wiccans are runaways from home because of violence and/or sexual abuse. Male Wiccans watch out for young women on the streets who look lost, and offer them a place to stay and food to eat. Little children dressing as ghosts or similar, and going trick or treating, has no resemblance whatsoever to any form of witchcraft. The ministers who make these videos need to get involved with real people caught up in real witchcraft. Children don't become witches because they dressed up and went door to door for candy once a year.

    When you've spent as much time as I have with real witches, and helping them come to Christ, you realize that Halloween is harmless, but preaching against it makes for good, dramatic videos; that's all! And by the way, many of the young women are prostituted to make money for Wicca. The youngest I helped was only twelve years old. Get real, ministers, and deal with the real issues, if you're not afraid.

  5. Halloween items give satan open door portal permission to curses, as Proverbs 26:2 explains ' a bird can not land without a branch, so a curse can not causeless come ' Jesus would never sat treat Me or I will trick you!

  6. Christians should not celebrate Christmas either. No one truly knows when this "christ" was actually born. The folks who made up this stuff honestly didn't seem to care what day this son of a goat was born.

  7. I hope that this is taught for all the pagan holidays Easter, Christmas, Halloween, New Year’s they are all renamed and stem from pagan roots yet because Christians continue to celebrate in the name of the MESSIAH be ye separate really means be separated if we are doing all the same things something is wrong

  8. Yup. I couldn't have said it better. We had our lights off tonight and have no trespassing signs as well as signs letting people know they're being recorded. Kids still tried to run up here for candy and one fell down on a paver stone right next to my vehicle while the parent kept watching at the road just standing there. That tells you what type of parent they are to let their kids run in such a manner onto a very darkened property. The only light is the street light, enough to see the no trespassing signs. Aside from that, the rule of thumb always has been to never go to a house unless the lights are on outside. I was quick to deal with the situation in a reasonable and logical manner. I went outside with a stern voice and let them know to please go. I told them we don't celebrate this holiday and have our lights off for a reason. They still tried to come up for candy. I told them go away and made a motion with my hand to leave. I kept the recordings for a file to be used in case the parent tries anything legally. They had no right to let their kids run up here when the lights are off and clearly having the yard marked with three no trespassing signs that could be read from the street. I don't blame the kids. I blame the parents. I wish no harm on anyone, but hopefully the child and parents that let it happen will learn something out of it from tonight. We do not celebrate satan in this household. Next year I plan on making huge signs with Bible verses and another sign specifically stating something like if you celebrate halloween then you are celebrating a pagan holiday that loves and follows satan. We love God in this house and don't celebrate anything related to satan, God's enemy.

    I'm sure our neighbors will just love my enthusiasm for God.

    P.S. – I don't want to see kids hurt physically, mentally or spiritually even if it means I have to look like the bad guy. If my idea saves even one child then my efforts are worth it.

    God bless you.
