Help! I want to know if bạn celebrate Holloween like go trick hoặc treating for the kẹo and thats it is that bad? I wanna know because I just go for the kẹo and I'm a christian.

Go get the candy.

If the pagan roots of the holiday bother you, consider this-- The other name for Halloween is "All Hallows Eve," because it's the night before All Saints Day, a Christian holiday.

Also, it's OK to indulge in a bit of the spookiness on Halloween. Years ago, before ti vi and the Internet, families would gather together on giáng sinh Eve and tell ghost stories. Perfectly Christian families.

If you're the type of person who gets upset when their child celebrates Hanukkah with their Jewish friend, hoặc burns Harry Potter books, then maybe bạn won't be big on Halloween. But if that's the case, then in my opinion, your missing out on a lot of God's great gifts in life.

Well, first off, don't give Satan a single day. Go out and celebrate Halloween, and celebrate God while you're at it.

If He's your Light, why be afraid of darkness? In fact, let it entertain you. bạn have nothing to fear.

Well, my family stays in and watches a movie. Plus, if bạn only like Halloween for the candy, bạn can do what I used to do: just go out and buy the candy. Sure it'll cost bạn a few bucks, but it's worth it :]

well, I did when I was younger. My brother still does. I don't really see how it's wrong. The Church hasn't taken a position on it saying it's bad hoặc it's ok, so I don't really see what's wrong with it. I mean, bạn dress up and go out to strangers' houses to get the free kẹo they're giving out. It's not getting piercings hoặc hình xăm hoặc something like that. It's not stealing. It's just fun. If someone does know why exactly it could be considered wrong, could ya tell me?

Hmmm.... Tricky one this. I think it's fine as long as bạn don't indulge in the darker side of Halloween; that is, to dress up as something demonic hoặc evil. For example, this năm if I get invited to a Halloween party I'll go as a Samurai :)

Well I think It is find but maybe it depends on ur church... Cause the church I go too go trick hoặc treating too.... and I am a christian too but i sometimes dress up as like dead brides and witches and even Goths but is dat badddd? i dont think it is... but i have never dressed like a demon hoặc the devil.... i think it is a fun way to give and recieve

oh jeez, go get candy! the thing is, it's not bad to go trick hoặc treating, whats bad is celebrating the true reson of the celebration, (which cant realy be called a celabration) so go nuts, just make sure bạn dress up!

no its not bad just think of it as reformation (if your a lutheren) i cant help u if u arent but i go for the kẹo to so do all my friends

I think that bạn should be carful and to try and research thêm about it because haloween isnt as innocent as as it seems. Little things like trick o treatin and celebrating at parties, even though bạn might look at it in a differnet way its still celebrating in a way haloween (a pagan festival)

I think it's bad

I prayed to God and explained to Him where my tim, trái tim is when it comes time for Halloween. God already knows our hearts, but He wants us to talk to Him anyway! So my tim, trái tim in NOT into the devil crap (sorry!) and all the evil stuff! It's just a FUN day, a ngày that is not like any other!! A different ngày from the norm!! kẹo is yummy and dressing up is fun!! Oh and I'm against people who dress up like a priest. Not only is it bad taste, but priests are men of God.

Well, I'll say this. I don't celebrate Halloween. I used to when I was younger, but I don't any more. Whether there is anything wrong with just going for the kẹo hoặc not, I don't know. I do know this: The Bible says we are to obstain from all appearances of evil, and going trick-or-treating can appear... evil, if bạn will. Now I'm saying we make 100s at it, but it's just something to think about. Hope I've helped. Truthfully, it's just something you'll have to pray about and answer for yourself.

Personally, I don't see the issue with trick hoặc treating. Some have an issue with the roots of the holliday but many of our celebrated hollidays have roots in alot of different places and religions. I think it's a personal choice..if a person celebrates Haloween to "celebrate the Devil" in any way..then there's obviously a conflict with Christianity. However, if a person just has fun on that ngày bởi trick hoặc treating hoặc hanging out with loved ones hoặc friends..then I really don't see the issue.

I agree that as long as bạn don't celebrate the darker aspects of the holiday, if you're just going to have fun with Những người bạn and get some candy, it's fine. When I was younger I wasn't allowed to dress as anything demonic, but I did go as a Powerpuff girl, a tiger, and the tooth fairy. bạn can even turn it into something better. Now on Halloween I still dress in costume and go out and trick-or-treat for canned goods before having a horror movie marathon.

Anyway, I think as long as you're not dressed as anything demonic, you're good to go.

I still go and i'm a christian. i just advise bạn not to dress up as a witch hoặc anything bad then your ok

Well my family doesn't let me hoặc my sisters trick-or-treating anymore. They use to let me and my older sister(I'm một giây out of five and my siblings didn't exist yet) go out when we were younger. After that, I guess my family realized how evil it was, they đã đưa ý kiến that little innocent children that were specially born and didn't have any records at all, would be killed as a sacrifice to Satan. Even though that happens, I wish my other sisters knew how much fun trick-or-treating can be .
