I once asked the kids in church what Halloween was…one said “the devils birthday” I wasn’t too put off by his statement. What bothered me were the adults nodding in agreeing. Smh
I'm pretty sure Halloween is a day of creativity, costumes, candy and sending small humans out to annoy your neighbors as much as possible for an hour or so.
Pretty sure what does that even mean it means you don't know because you don't if you knew you wouldn't do it if you knew you were doing the satanic ritual you wouldn't do it but you don't know you've been deceived by thinking it's just the costumes and fun nonsense the creativity that it has is from Satan nothing but death.
Christmas goes a lot deeper too. So does Easter. And marriage and architecture and education and language and rhetoric and cuisine and clothing and literally everything in the world because we don't live in a vacuum. If it bothers you, don't participate. But I'm going to continue to talk ask little ones if they're going to dress up as Elsa again this year, and find peace in the genuine delight that beams out of their faces because they haven't had to grow up searching out and accentuating only evil in the world. @@jesusfreakmeyer7446
@@jesusfreakmeyer7446 "we might not be doing anything horrible, but we still take part in it" I'm fucking done with of you people. It's like talking to a wall. Explain to me how exactly does that make any kind of sense to you???
Just like Paul said to not eat or do something which isn't wrong but may cause a brother to stumble (Romans 14:13 and onwards, 1 Cor 8:9 and onwards), I think we should also be cautious about celebrating anything close to what the world does during halloween.
This is way too vague of a point. If you don't like Halloween -- fine, it's your prerogative to not celebrate it. Nobody is saying otherwise. But trying to strain Scripture to condemn innocuous Halloween parties or dressing up in costumes is a dead end. No pun intended.
@@root1657 Your question makes zero sense since all ex-wiccans, ex-satanists, ex-occultists etc all say that Halloween is very much something they realised they should avoid when they become Christian. At no point were they considering Halloween as good, so if someone stumbles because someone told them halloween is closer to the darkness than the light, maybe it's not the halloween that's the issue
@@Jimmy-iy9pl No, because as Christians we don't live for ourselves but for the body of the Church and Christ. Saying that our actions should not affect someone else's life is just naive. And no, it's not a vague point because since the beginning of Scripture we are told to be set apart from what the world does and considers as dark and evil. In that case sure it's not evil...but when you have ex-occultists saying that they realised the darkness of halloween when they became christians, maybe that should raise a flag
@@lclyd I appreciate the fact that some ex-Occultists have issues with Halloween, and I don't doubt theur sincerity, but being an ex-Occultist doesn't give them special biblical interpretation skills or knowledge of history. You're literally making the opposite argument of what St. Paul said in his letter to the Corinthians. Eating sacrificial meat was okay so long as Christians didn't worship or venerate the gods along with their pagan neighbors. The sort of "anti social" attitude you're advocating is really bizarre to begin with when you consider that Christians are supposed to go into the world and make disciples of all the nations. You couldn't do that if you were being logically consistent. You would have to leave pagan nations because of how evil and anti-God they were before even beginning your mission. Like I said, if you don't like Halloween, I don't care. I don't think anybody should be forced to celebrate the holiday. But Halloween is not inherently evil nor does it violate any biblical standard. And most arguments against Halloween either fail because they prove too much or just don't make any sense.
@@Kaws13 Man you must be a boring and sad individual to think that. Giving out candy is human sacrifice? Do you hear yourself? I used to do trick or treat when I was kid. Am I satantist now in your eyes?

So warning off evil is a bad thing to Christian’s ? This religion is starting to make more and more sense on what it really stands for and I don’t think I like it
Brother respectfully Halloween is not pagan It comes from All Hallows Eve which is the Eve of all saints Day a Christian Holiday to honor the Saints and Martyrs Not the pagan holiday Samhain The only reason we confuse the two Is because Satanists from the modern time claim it’s stolen from them You wouldn’t trust a satanist would you? Over time All Hallows Eve became associated with the dead and Samhain It wasn’t until European traditions with All hallows eve blended in America is were we have the modern Holiday of Halloween Like the tradition of trick or treating or dressing up So Halloween is an entirely Christian Holiday though it has evolved to overtime into Halloween today
@@hernandezstopmotionangamin9298your so wrong. first of all, people that die stay dead. there are no such thing as souls wondering around. and there is no such thing as celebrating saints because halloween is all demonic. maybe you should go back to history and learn a little more. also read the bible to understand god more and his points. i’m not a christian, just a believer in god.

As someone who grew up JW and didn't celebrate Halloween growing up, I can tell you know as an adult, there is nothing to fear about Halloween, nothing to fear about giving out candy to children. It's about fun for the kids. Kids are not going door to door for candy in the name of satan. Kids want candy because its candy and they are kids. Halloween may have certain motifs some may choose to pursue, but to me, it's about charity. Giving freely to the community. No demon can overpower love for Jesus no matter the day.

That doesn’t mean you openly allow Demons to enter your home don’t think you won’t and can’t be attacked by the evil one cuz the Bible is very clear on that to stay away from the worldly people and there traditions Halloween is evil, so is Christmas, it is not about Jesus and so Easter if you truly believe participating in this stuff is OK and reevaluate your relationship with Jesus and Halloween is for the kids you’re right, it’s for demons to roam around and have your kids participate in demonic activity dressing up, like monsters at night having much of scary movies and scary things that actually project in open portals if you don’t believe this, or understand this, you do not understand the spiritual world, where Jesus resides and you need to study way more

Halloween is a Catholic holiday that has no relation to Samhain, which is usually celebrated on November 1st or the 7th. Halloween preceeds All Saints Day, which is November 1st.
In fairness i don't think she's focused solely on spiritual danger it may pose to us but also, if not moreso, focused on separation from things that are demonic, evil etc as she described it being. Not saying i agree with her conclusion necessarily but i think that was her point
Then do not eat pork, shellfish, fish without scales, mix your fabric fibers, work on the Sabbath, go to funerals, sing songs with repetitive lyrics and beats, etc. Oh, and don't celebrate Christmas, Easter, your birthday, or any other holiday while you're at it.
Tbh, I used to celebrate Halloween a lot but, now that I’m Christian, I don’t celebrate it at all. Not because I’m afraid some witch will put a spell on me or I will be harmed. But I’m not going to take part in something where people can dress up as a Devil or Demon or a drag queen or anything else. Yes I know others can dress up as Superman and all but still, my personal opinion, I won’t be supporting dressing up as something your not. Personally, I don’t think Jesus would celebrate it either so I’m not. Early church actually went against something exactly like this, just not called Halloween and their was not candy handouts.
@@Angle98411 dude once again, not a debate just an opinion. When you dress up as a demon or a Devil, it’s toleration of such an image.

That's exactly right! I'm fairly conservative as a Christian, maybe a touch more conservative than IP, or even WLC, and I don't fully agree about the Halloween stuff. I do think that incentivizing (with candy) emulating witches, wizards, ghouls, goblins, and whatnot isn't the greatest idea, but Christians often don't seem to recognize the broadness of the freedom Christians have in Christ. It's utter nonsense to pretend that people who do these things can't be truly saved Christians.

There is no single day that is untainted by evil, yet we can celebrate on other days? It makes no sense.

You’re presupposing what she means by “Halloween.” She didn’t mention anything about costumes and candy. The reality is, you’re both right because you are both operating off of different assumptions about what Halloween is!
Please don't give her the benefit of the doubt when she's trying to make declarations about what a "true Christian" should do based on blatantly wrong information. She's wrong. It's not compassionate to tell her that, if we reinterpret her advice in some way by redefining words for her, she's speaking something that sounds like a truthful statement.
Nah, she just has her own viewpoint and conscience about how Halloween appears/feels to her, and you have yours. These arguments remind me of the new testament arguments about eating meat offered to idols and how people have different thoughts and understandings of these things but how love is what links us in Christ. So I would choose not to let something like this create some big divide between siblings bought by the Blood.
@@TitusCastiglione1503 It's both true that people should stop thinking and acting like she does, as Jewish Christians thought and acted in Apostolic times, and that we should try to act with love, charity, and grace toward our brothers and sisters that think and act in such ways. That's basically the explicit teaching of Romans 14. As Adam Clarke points out concerning Romans 14:1: "Not to doubtful disputations - Μη εις διακρισεις δια λογισμων. These words have been variously translated and understood. Dr. Whitby thinks the sense of them to be this; Not discriminating them by their inward thoughts. Do not reject any from your Christian communion because of their particular sentiments on things which are in themselves indifferent. Do not curiously inquire into their religious scruples, nor condemn them on that account. Entertain a brother of this kind rather with what may profit his soul, than with curious disquisitions on speculative points of doctrine. A good lesson for modern Christians in general." Verses three and four basically encapsulate this point. Verses five through nine are examples of this and explicates the point. Verses ten through twelve talk about the one judging the actions of others and the one despising the other that judges, and it shows that both are nonsensical ways of being, both feeling and acting. Verses thirteen through twenty-three tell us how we are to act and why. It says that we should not despise those like this lady that has peculiar, perhaps incorrect, views, so long as it is not a truly important issue, even if they judge others.

@@TitusCastiglione1503 *"Perhaps I should have moderated my tone somewhat. But, I don’t despise her personally."* The word "despise" there, at least in the Greek, doesn't necessarily have the connotations that it has in English.

There's actually a good example of this where a Pharisee thanks God that he is not like a tax collector (Luke 18). The word used in verse nine, where it said they treated others with contempt, is the same word. The Pharisee despised the tax collector by merely thanking God that he was better than him. *" It’s just that her claims are utterly absurd and she’s insisting if they’re true when they’re manifestly not."* This is true. That thought process and way of being is a trend in evangelical Christianity that I really despise. *"That brings dishonor on the church unnecessarily, and people have the right to respond."* True, except--perhaps--for the right to respond, but shouldn't such be done with tender love for her, charity, and grace?

I'm merely encouraging my brothers and sisters to be exceedingly kind and loving. *Edit:* changed "mean" to "meaning" and "trend" to "a trend".

IP I usually respect your perspective on things. But it seems to me that you, like so many other Christians (particularly those with kids) have a blindspot here because you WANT Halloween to be ok, and you WANT to be able to dress up with your kids. This blind spot makes it so that you ASSUME God's protection and you ASSUME that nothing bad can happen because "you have Christ in your heart", but I think you assume too much. I suggest you ask a reformed born again Christian who is a former Satanist or occultist, what they think about Christians celebrating Halloween, and see if it broadens your perspective a bit. Cheers
Honestly, I'd have to agree with her on this one. I understand that you're saying that we're not doing any satanic rituals. But we as Christians just need to keep ourselves separate from the dark things of the world. Even if it's a kid in a skeleton costume. I know that probably sounds ridiculous, but think about it for a second. Like a skeleton is the internal framework of a human being. And in this case it'd be the framework of a long dead, rotted human being. It's messed up. But over time we've become accustomed to these things. We don't bat an eyelid. I think we as Christians need to actually separate ourselves from this world and it's ways. And at the very least avoiding things like Halloween. To be honest, I'm speaking as someone who knows demons more than the average guy. Sadly enough. They tormented me for years. Like, engulfed my mind and my emotions made and basically every second of my life a wrestle. I know you might be asking "What does that have to do with this?" And it's this: Demons have literally no morality. And we know that the devil is called the ruler of this world. So when I see this, I see a pretty messed up plan to keep allowing children to take part in this day of "dark and spooky" stuff as if it's normal. And using sugary sweets (Or child kryptonite lol) as an incentive. Seems a little bit suss to me. Now, I don't suggest freaking out about what the devil's doing in the world, and looking under every couch cushion for a sign of a plan or anything. But taking a step back from some things and going "Well, actually..." And I mean in this case. Bloodsucking creatures who live in coffins, flesh eating dead people and just all round creepy themes made to appear cute and funny. Uhhhh, it just kinda seems like a no to me. And as for the big question "What do I do when a kid knocks at the door?" Idunno, maybe get some kid friendly Bible tracts and some candy? I know that sounds weird after everything that I've said. But you're not gonna stop the neighbors from dressing their kids up. And it'd be pretty a unfruitful effort to attempt to persuade the kids to stop. But one could use the opportunity to reach the lost and keep the kid happy by still giving them candy. We can't stop it. But just closing our doors and saying "We don't give out candy." does nobody any favors. But even if one kid or their parents get affected by the message, then that's a good thing right?
Yeah, I usually agree with you on most topics. But the way you cherrypicked that... "Children dressed as princesses and superheros" as if the majority isn't dressing up as rotting corpses, ghouls, or literally loads of glorified wicked things. Yeah. You don't see evil as evil? The Bible literally says that one should be able to discern the fruits of darkness. Michael, my man, please rethink this. Children dressing up as literal demons (a fact of reality) is not bad or evil? What? I guess dressing up as a drug dealer is okay? I mean-- there is a serious cognitive dissonance in this one. Your passion for holidays and other things, is seriously blinding a major display of logic and truth.
I agree. Love Michael's content. But I see the holiday getting darker. It felt innocent in my childhood & I made costumes for my kids & took them out. But I feel differently today due to the times we live in-my town is nuts for zombies (how I miss the pirates!) & the night is more & more taken by adults.

My daughter and her cousins didn't want to interpret the wolf in The Three Little Pigs with puppets. Because the wolf is the bad guy and little kids want to be the heroes. Adults supposedly get over the childish egocentric phase and understand interpreting a bad guy doesn't make you a bad person, or promoting evil. Children have to overcome fears. Monsters often are metaphors for fears like diseases, body changes, darkness, death, etc. And they can be transformed. This is like the discussion about laughter and fears in The Name of the Rose. A character thinks laughing is dangerous because it's ridiculing the devil and losing the fears. Another thinks the caricatures and jokes made by the monks are important, even for religion. Nevertheless, according to Statista, the most popular Halloween costumes for children in 2018 were princesses and superheroes. US News says "Comic books and superheroes remain a popular choice". Web pages about Halloween costumes for children mostly show costumes of Disney and Marvel characters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Barbie, and Super Mario.
@@lancethefilmguy9392 It's referring to the ways of the heathen. Christ was not celebrating the holidays of the Greeks and Romans. He was celebrating the holy days described in the Bible.

I really like & enjoy your channel and the vast majority of the time, I agree with what you have to say. I have never been a fan of Halloween. I chose not to do the traditional trick or treating with my girls. We always did fun alternative activities generally associated with the church and they still got their large bags of candy. I have been observing the behaviors associated with the holiday over the years; they always seem to celebrate with fear & terror inducing, as well as destructive activities. It doesn’t seem so innocent anymore, at least what I have seen. Many, many of the costumes I see are anything but princesses & such. Blood & guts, ghost, demons, murderous characters that represent evil seem to have become more the norm. There is a lot of evil in this world, and and yes we need to represent the good. I am not afraid of the Holiday, I just don’t think it represents good. So I guess I don’t have a real problem with what she’s saying.

Where I'm from (The Netherlands) the Halloween traditions may not be so innocent. A few years ago they erected a fake graveyard for a dance party. That's way out of line in my book. In my area of The Netherlands all traditions center around death and the spiritual world, so I try to stay as far away from it as possible. Not because I am scared of curses and such but because of the way the holiday is celebrated.
exactly, i think IP only thought about the childish side of halloween of the candies and games and that's why he said there's nothing bad with it. But there's this celebration that non believers do that the woman was trying to expose as being satanic because it promotes death.
Maybe, but not exactly. I don't think you realise what Hallowe'en celebrates. It is part of a three day holiday called "allhallowtide". First day (31st Oct) is Hallowe'en, or "All Hallows' Eve". It is the night before 1stNov. 1st Nov is All Hallows' Day. It is a day to commemorate all Christian saints ("hallow" means 'holy' or 'saint'). Dead, alive. Famous or unknown. From those cannoninated and celebrated on a day, to those that aren't and need a day to be commemorated. That's what All Hallows' Day is. Very Christian. 2nd Nov is the third and final day of Allhallowtide. It's known as "All souls day", and celebrates all souls. Dead or alive. Remembered or forgotten (alas). Family and friends. This is probably where the graveyard tradition of yours came from. It is a tradition to visit graveyards during Allhallowstide. This is a very Christian thing to do, as you pay homage and respect to your dead family, friends, and Christians and Martyrs alike, maybe even lighting candles in their memory and praying for their salvation. Very Christian, indeed. In Eastern Europe, it is tradition to visit dead relatives (as in where they are buried, not literally die and visit them) during Allhallowtide. It is also the start or near the start of the Fasting season, highlighting the link to God. In the Hispanic world of Latin America, Allhallowtide takes a different approach. You've probably heard of Día de los Muertos! Allhallowtide tends to be very self-reserved and perhaps even a sad holiday, as you are commemorating those who have passed away. But Hispanics turn the holiday around, and make it a more joyous party celebrative holiday. I am not Hispanic, so I can't tell you how Christian they keep the holiday, but I find their method of celebration pretty neat because: A• After all, you hope to see those family members in Afterlife (hopefully the good one), and B• Why frown that they are dead? Why instead not be happy that they were once with us, and rather than be sad they're gone, be happy that it happened and celebrated what they have done for us the world? You've probably watched Coco and in Latino films ig, where families would hang a portrait of their passed relatives, and decorate the murial with things the person enjoyed and are remembered for. It's honestly really sweet, and I hope they celebrate it in Christian manner. So I definitely see where your experience is coming from, but they seem to have forgotten the 'true meaning of Allhallowtide'. I'd recommend visiting an actual graveyard Christian procession, or an actual graveyard where relatives are buried. However, if there is no graveyard nearby, or they wouldn't want to visit one because of young kids, I really wouldn't mind if they celebrated Hallowe'en and Allhallowtide by decorating the place as a cemetery, AS LONG AS: A• the focus is not on the graveyard aspect, but rather their dead relatives, friends, Christians, etc and B• they celebrate in the most Christian way possible.
Halloween is a Catholic holiday to celebrate the dead. People didn’t start dressing up in costumes until the 1920s because teenagers in America kept pulling violent Halloween pranks. To stop this, cities started trick or treating on Halloween to decrease the rate of crime. Learn history and have fun
My old Catholic church has celebrated Halloween every year since I was like 5 years old 20 years ago... the priest at the time always dressed up and handed out candy to the kids. It angers me it seems Hobby Lobby has this same dumb mentality.
@@danhightower9500 we do Those that have authority do Authority passed on from the Apostles who got theirs from Jesus Christ That the authority the Catholic Church has If you disagree then don’t worship on Sundays, don’t go to Church, don’t celebrate Christmas and Easter , No thanksgiving
When you have former satanist/witches telling you you shouldn't celebrate halloween if you're christian then you should probably listen... It's more than just handing out candy or some fun kids holiday.
Ah because former satanists and witches have the ultimate authority... Halloween is literally a christian holiday that celebrates the saints. Get it through your thick skull my friend.
He seems to not understand the point she's making. She's not saying you will get demons if you celebrate Halloween. Idk why he chose to focus on something she didn't say. Rather, she is saying it's a sin to celebrate something demonic.
Objectively, there is something questionable about dressing up and pretenting. The mysteries of the ancients were performed with ritual "acting" and carrying out things in pretend, the idea of course, like all ritual, is that what we do in the physical is manifest in the spiritual. This is why there is such a spiritual connection with Hollywood. That aside, it's no leap to see Halloween as being a way to normalize this type of behavior. To see this You must first acknowledged that there is a spiritual connection to dressing up and playing pretend that goes deep into history. I dont wanna argue with anyone, it's just my 2 cents in an effort to build a conversation and learn stuff.
@@standandeliveryI agree. Seems like this guy focuses on scriptural but just cause we don’t see anything wrong with candy doesn’t mean it should just be included Willy nilly
I like how her point is giving the enemy more power he doesn't have. The enemy doesnt just use Halloween. Witches use moon cycles, solstices, etc. so if that was the case Christians would be anxious pretty often...but why wouldn't we? Because greater is He who is in us than He who is in the world. Taking your kid out to eat candy is not goving a demon a legal right to your kid. Doing literally witchcraft, energy/spirit transfer, and making covenants with those demons does. Her point actually promotes more fear.
Fact: Halloween in the Philippines is not celebrated just for fun but to go and visit their loved ones who passed away and giving them foods on their graves.
...I got candy, and I got to see my friends and family and neighbors. Why do I celebrate Halloween now? Because I get treats and I get to spend time with my favorite people while doing my favorite things. The aesthetic is my favorite (minus the legit evil stuff) and it takes place during my favorite season. I was raised in a Christian household and continue to keep that faith in my adult life. It's always been my favorite holiday... because it's FUN.
The whole point of halloween is about spookiness and scariness; fear is ungodly, and while halloween may not be explicitly or directly satanic, inducing fear in others is definitely doing more to serve the source of fear than the Prince of Peace. Secondly, a lot of the gorier side of halloween tends to glorify violence. And finally, while it's not a spiritual issue per se, it is downright rude to just go to people's houses and demand things from them or threaten to do something to them if they don't comply.
Look up Living Orthodox - episode 7 truth about Halloween. It's an Orthodox priest explaining why the practice of Halloween is originally from paganism where the dead spirits coming back would want food.
You're confused buddy. I've noticed in every video you seem to always want to slightly show off your tattoo you're an interesting fellow. Discernment at its best
Judgmentalism at it's best. For one, you don't know if he had that ink prior to conversion, nor do you know that he interprets the Torah regarding tattooing the same way.

@Paris Heard, I'm not defending anyone. The man can defend himself. I'm pointing out the fallacy of your decision to be judgmental, and hoping to bring to your mind the fact that more is expected of us, not the least of which is the ability to determine the truth of a statement without using the appearance of the person making the statement as criteria for truth. What you choose to do with that is a giant steaming pile of not my problem. "The fear of Adonai is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." Proverbs 1:7
Here in Ireland, we learn in school about how it was the old Irish who created halloween. It's not pagan, but there are some harmless superstitions involved. For example, trick-or-treating came from the idea that on halloween, or Oiche Samhain as it's correctly called, the spirits of the dead would return to the earth to haunt their families, and the only way to stop them playing tricks on you was to leave treats out for them on your door-step. Hence: trick-or-treat. Dressing up in monstrous costume was done to trick the spirits into thinking you were one of them.
@@cisuminocisumino3250 There is no idol worship in halloween. There's a difference between worship and superstition. There are professional athletes who have superstitions about what colour to wear during a fight/match. That does not equate to paganism.
@@snopespeerreview Halloween is a harvest festival. That's actually what its real name, Oiche Samhain, means: night of the harvest. How is it heathenism to celebrate a harvest, just because there are superstitions and games involved?
Yes theres nothing wrong with a day celebrating witches, the dead, and even often times Satan himself. It's okay to tell our kids to be imitators of disney superheroes and villains instead of Christ. Let's ignore the fact that the most popular traditions like wearing masks, trick or treating, and arguably apple bobbing came directly from Samhain, which oddly enough shares the same day with All Saints Day or All Hallows Eve "In the 9th century the Western Church endorsed 1 November as the date of All Saints' Day, possibly due to the influence of Alcuin, and 2 November later became All Souls' Day. It is believed that over time Samhain and All Saints'/All Souls' influenced each other and eventually syncretised into the modern Halloween. Most American Halloween traditions were inherited from Irish and Scottish immigrants.Folklorists have used the name 'Samhain' to refer to Gaelic 'Halloween' customs up until the 19th century.

I believe he does. I have mostly disagree with his teaching. There seem worldly. He doesn't seem to have spiritual discernment to me. Most of his teaching are contrary to the Bible. The statement you quoted is not the statement of someone who is Christ minded. But someone who still holds a strong love for the world and it practices. I compare his statement to the one the devil made when he told Jesus to jump and that the angels would protect him. And the one the 3 Hebrews made when they were to be thrown in the fire for refusing to bow down to idol.

I also liked some of his science videos. he believes in the Bible creation account and at the same time billions of years evolution theory.

@@etheligidigba410 The trinity doctrine is not out of the question and should be respected like other interpretations. I don't think you should isolate yourself from other believers because they're trinitarian. The doctrine dates back to before Yeshua, it's not an idea adopted from paganism.

it's not about fear ots about not celebrating a satanic holiday. no excuses. having Christ inside of you all the more reason to not engage in Halloween.
I agree that no Christian should take part in Halloween. Modern Halloween where you dress up as monsters and demons and extort candy from homeowners lol. There’s just no reason for it. There’s no glory for God in any of that.
The problem is that it’s usually not just little kids dressed up in innocent costumes. If they’re out in neighborhoods they’ll get exposed to all the scary stuff including demonic costumes, music and decorations.
I am literally so annoyed with people saying that Halloween is bad or satanic, if you wanna see it that way then so be it, but some people can manage to see it positively and people need to just accept that😤🙄✋
All of you do realize that while halloween is a pagant holiday but so is "Christmas" and "Easter". So are you going to not celebrate those two holidays as well? Plus also you should do some research to know that halloween is plus also originally from a Roman Catholic religion as well. I'm Christian happily while always celebrating halloween since I was baby and will still celebrate Halloween and not changing anything. PS Also for this year I'm dressing up as an Angel for Halloween this year❤
Exactly I’m a Christian and me and my dad have the best set up at our house and it’s so it means so much to me because it’s just a thing that I celebrate with my dad and I love it in my Brother
My daughter likes to dress up and get candy but we throw most of it out since it is full of dairy and food dyes. I replace her candy with healthier dairy-free, food dye-free, organic/non-gmo options at home. Think about it, if the veil is thinnest on that day then that includes in your home too. There is no avoiding the day itself. Just pray harder that day, don't practice any of the witchy stuff, dress up funny or cute instead of pervy or wicked and enjoy time with your loved ones.
I thought it was more of an autumn celebration, it associates with death because it's getting colder and fallen leaves cover the ground, it associates with darkness because the nights are getting longer, and if those things are evil then autumn itself is evil, which seems unlikely.
I love how she says "true Christians..." lol. She is very confident of a position which she obviously has not researched! It is seriously a pet peeve of mine when someone suggests that someone is not a "true Christian" for having a different view on something like this. From what I was able to find a couple years ago in a search for the history behind current traditions, people started to wear masks/costumes in order to ward off evil spirits, not celebrate them!
@@snopespeerreviewNo, it wasn't. Samhain was celebrated on November 7th but modern "pagans" (wannabes edge lords) celebrate it on November 1st. Not very traditional for those peeps, for the "accuracy" they spew.
Excellent all throughout 👏👏 😎. Do I dare look at the comments lol. Also, it's funny that the same extreme legalistic christians that would complain about a holiday are probably the same who would complain about all that make she is wearing in the video.
Lol, maybe so, if they read and adhere to the book of Enoch 8:1 And Asael taught men to make swords, and daggers, and shields and breastplates. And he showed them the things after these, and the art of making them: bracelets, and ornaments, and the art of making up the eyes and of beautifying the eyelids, and the most precious and choice stones, and all [kinds of] coloured dyes. And the world was changed. 8:2 And there was great impiety and much fornication, and they went astray, and all their ways became corrupt.
I hear this almost everywhere on TikTok and other platforms. She’s entitled to her opinion and I do agree that Halloween has some pagan roots, but I don’t see much a problem with eating candy and wearing costumes.
This is what happens when "Christians" forget their Christian tradition. Halloween is a Christian holiday not pagan. The practice of handing out candy developed in America. Its secularization of a Christian holiday.

I'm pretty sure Halloween is a day of creativity, costumes, candy and sending small humans out to annoy your neighbors as much as possible for an hour or so.
Pretty sure what does that even mean it means you don't know because you don't if you knew you wouldn't do it if you knew you were doing the satanic ritual you wouldn't do it but you don't know you've been deceived by thinking it's just the costumes and fun nonsense the creativity that it has is from Satan nothing but death.
It goes a lot deeper than that, we might not be doing anything horrible, but we still take part in it.
Christmas goes a lot deeper too. So does Easter. And marriage and architecture and education and language and rhetoric and cuisine and clothing and literally everything in the world because we don't live in a vacuum. If it bothers you, don't participate.

Just like Paul said to not eat or do something which isn't wrong but may cause a brother to stumble (Romans 14:13 and onwards, 1 Cor 8:9 and onwards), I think we should also be cautious about celebrating anything close to what the world does during halloween.
What if people calling Halloween evil causes someone to stumble?
This is way too vague of a point. If you don't like Halloween -- fine, it's your prerogative to not celebrate it. Nobody is saying otherwise. But trying to strain Scripture to condemn innocuous Halloween parties or dressing up in costumes is a dead end. No pun intended.
@@root1657 Your question makes zero sense since all ex-wiccans, ex-satanists, ex-occultists etc all say that Halloween is very much something they realised they should avoid when they become Christian.

@@Jimmy-iy9pl No, because as Christians we don't live for ourselves but for the body of the Church and Christ. Saying that our actions should not affect someone else's life is just naive. And no, it's not a vague point because since the beginning of Scripture we are told to be set apart from what the world does and considers as dark and evil. In that case sure it's not evil...but when you have ex-occultists saying that they realised the darkness of halloween when they became christians, maybe that should raise a flag
@@lclyd
I appreciate the fact that some ex-Occultists have issues with Halloween, and I don't doubt theur sincerity, but being an ex-Occultist doesn't give them special biblical interpretation skills or knowledge of history.
You're literally making the opposite argument of what St. Paul said in his letter to the Corinthians. Eating sacrificial meat was okay so long as Christians didn't worship or venerate the gods along with their pagan neighbors.
The sort of "anti social" attitude you're advocating is really bizarre to begin with when you consider that Christians are supposed to go into the world and make disciples of all the nations. You couldn't do that if you were being logically consistent. You would have to leave pagan nations because of how evil and anti-God they were before even beginning your mission.
Like I said, if you don't like Halloween, I don't care. I don't think anybody should be forced to celebrate the holiday. But Halloween is not inherently evil nor does it violate any biblical standard. And most arguments against Halloween either fail because they prove too much or just don't make any sense.

Brother respectfully Halloween is not pagan
It comes from All Hallows Eve which is the Eve of all saints Day a Christian Holiday to honor the Saints and Martyrs
Not the pagan holiday Samhain

Is because Satanists from the modern time claim it’s stolen from them

Over time All Hallows Eve became associated with the dead and Samhain
It wasn’t until European traditions with All hallows eve blended in America is were we have the modern Holiday of Halloween

It's about fun for the kids. Kids are not going door to door for candy in the name of satan. Kids want candy because its candy and they are kids.

What Halloween promotes is un CHRIST like.
Tbh, I used to celebrate Halloween a lot but, now that I’m Christian, I don’t celebrate it at all. Not because I’m afraid some witch will put a spell on me or I will be harmed. But I’m not going to take part in something where people can dress up as a Devil or Demon or a drag queen or anything else. Yes I know others can dress up as Superman and all but still, my personal opinion, I won’t be supporting dressing up as something your not. Personally, I don’t think Jesus would celebrate it either so I’m not. Early church actually went against something exactly like this, just not called Halloween and their was not candy handouts.
Dressing up as something you are not? What about it? If you don’t actually believe you are what you dress up and just doing it for fun so what?
@@Angle98411 dude once again, not a debate just an opinion. When you dress up as a demon or a Devil, it’s toleration of such an image. Dressing up as something your not even if it’s not a demonic dress up, still gives acception and toleration to things that are demonic. Again my personal opinion. Not going to change it either, not trying to debate it.

@@wayoftheinspiredword2825 thanks for the question my friend, 1) that verse does not mean to dress up at Paul. it just means to immitate his virtues and his sacrifice that he gives to God and others, you will find that if you read it in context. 2) it goes back to my point, that even if we are to dress up as something harmless, it still promotes the tolerance of dressing up how ever you want, which promotes dressing up as a demon or satan, witch, etc. 3) the early church as well had to deal with a holiday similiar to this and they have advised all christians to not celebrate it. 4) this holiday does not promote christ in the world at all. it is not a christian holliday and it never was and adn never will be. 5) we should not be like the world as christ said, but we should hate it and have nothing of it. celebrate feasts and hollidays that belong to the christians for worship of God and not the world. 6) i also find it very concerning that satanist always point out that they love it when christians celebrate this holiday or how former satanist warn many not to celebrate it as well. thanks for the reply, hope this helps give you a little more of a prespective.

Thank you IP! This "you can't be a Christian and [insert thing that is totally a matter of conscience]" stuff is exhausting. Thank God our salvation comes from the blood of Christ and not what holidays we do or don't celebrate--or other Christian's opinions!
That's exactly right! I'm fairly conservative as a Christian, maybe a touch more conservative than IP, or even WLC, and I don't fully agree about the Halloween stuff. I do think that incentivizing (with candy) emulating witches, wizards, ghouls, goblins, and whatnot isn't the greatest idea, but Christians often don't seem to recognize the broadness of the freedom Christians have in Christ. It's utter nonsense to pretend that people who do these things can't be truly saved Christians.
For real. According to a lot of Christians we aren't allowed to do anything except worship God which God isnt some narcissist that needs us to give up all joy so we can strictly praise
all I know that kids are molested and sacrificed, as much as young as 3 year old girls on the altars, raped, then cut on the bottom of feet wrists and throat, then left there for awhile then stabbed in the heart at halloween or the celtic Samhain,
so I don't really get why Christians in the western 1st world nations are so much advocating for halloween !??????? For what ?
I'm from India, here are many occult pagan religions festivals, Hindu Diwali Kali Puja, Durga Puja, Muslim Eid Ul Fitar ! Punjabi this Bihari Chhat Puja, etc on and on...

Celebrating on a day isn't the same as everything that happens on that day. For example, I bet murders happen on Christmas, and some Satanists probably have blasphemous practices on Christmas. How would this show that we shouldn't celebrate Christmas? So, let's not be silly. Nobody is saying that Christians should celebrate evil things on Halloween; instead, they are saying that it is permissible for Christians to participate in the cultural festivities of All Saints' Day. There is no single day that is untainted by evil, yet we can celebrate on other days? It makes no sense.
Exactly. Last night, my family and I talked about how this is silly. Like how is Halloween and trick or treating opening doors to the Devil and evil? When I was a kid I always loved Halloween, yet no bad things happened.

Nah, she just has her own viewpoint and conscience about how Halloween appears/feels to her, and you have yours. These arguments remind me of the new testament arguments about eating meat offered to idols and how people have different thoughts and understandings of these things but how love is what links us in Christ. So I would choose not to let something like this create some big divide between siblings bought by the Blood.
I would find that argument more compelling if she wasn’t blathering utter nonsense and insisting we obey her ridiculous feelings on the subject.
@@TitusCastiglione1503 OK, I'm with you as long as you don't insist other Christians obey your own feelings on the subject.
@@TitusCastiglione1503 It's both true that people should stop thinking and acting like she does, as Jewish Christians thought and acted in Apostolic times, and that we should try to act with love, charity, and grace toward our brothers and sisters that think and act in such ways. That's basically the explicit teaching of Romans 14.
As Adam Clarke points out concerning Romans 14:1:
"Not to doubtful disputations - Μη εις διακρισεις δια λογισμων. These words have been variously translated and understood. Dr. Whitby thinks the sense of them to be this; Not discriminating them by their inward thoughts. Do not reject any from your Christian communion because of their particular sentiments on things which are in themselves indifferent. Do not curiously inquire into their religious scruples, nor condemn them on that account. Entertain a brother of this kind rather with what may profit his soul, than with curious disquisitions on speculative points of doctrine. A good lesson for modern Christians in general."
Verses three and four basically encapsulate this point. Verses five through nine are examples of this and explicates the point. Verses ten through twelve talk about the one judging the actions of others and the one despising the other that judges, and it shows that both are nonsensical ways of being, both feeling and acting. Verses thirteen through twenty-three tell us how we are to act and why. It says that we should not despise those like this lady that has peculiar, perhaps incorrect, views, so long as it is not a truly important issue, even if they judge others.
@@Real_LiamOBryan Perhaps I should have moderated my tone somewhat. But, I don’t despise her personally. It’s just that her claims are utterly absurd and she’s insisting if they’re true when they’re manifestly not. That brings dishonor on the church unnecessarily, and people have the right to respond.
@@TitusCastiglione1503 *"Perhaps I should have moderated my tone somewhat. But, I don’t despise her personally."*
The word "despise" there, at least in the Greek, doesn't necessarily have the connotations that it has in English. It has, at its core, a meaning something more like to diminish, to treat with contempt, to other them, etc. I didn't mean to imply that you despise her personally. There's actually a good example of this where a Pharisee thanks God that he is not like a tax collector (Luke 18). The word used in verse nine, where it said they treated others with contempt, is the same word. The Pharisee despised the tax collector by merely thanking God that he was better than him.
*" It’s just that her claims are utterly absurd and she’s insisting if they’re true when they’re manifestly not."*
This is true. That thought process and way of being is a trend in evangelical Christianity that I really despise.
*"That brings dishonor on the church unnecessarily, and people have the right to respond."*
True, except--perhaps--for the right to respond, but shouldn't such be done with tender love for her, charity, and grace?
Believe me when I say, I see that you have good intentions and a good heart, and I think that you're mostly right. I'm merely encouraging my brothers and sisters to be exceedingly kind and loving.
*Edit:* changed "mean" to "meaning" and "trend" to "a trend".
Just because you’re a devout Christian doesn’t mean you shouldn’t celebrate Halloween.

Dress up, get spooky, eat candy, the end.
IP I usually respect your perspective on things. But it seems to me that you, like so many other Christians (particularly those with kids) have a blindspot here because you WANT Halloween to be ok, and you WANT to be able to dress up with your kids.
This blind spot makes it so that you ASSUME God's protection and you ASSUME that nothing bad can happen because "you have Christ in your heart", but I think you assume too much.
I suggest you ask a reformed born again Christian who is a former Satanist or occultist, what they think about Christians celebrating Halloween, and see if it broadens your perspective a bit. Cheers
Honestly, I'd have to agree with her on this one.
I understand that you're saying that we're not doing any satanic rituals.
But we as Christians just need to keep ourselves separate from the dark things of the world.
Even if it's a kid in a skeleton costume.
I know that probably sounds ridiculous, but think about it for a second.
Like a skeleton is the internal framework of a human being.
And in this case it'd be the framework of a long dead, rotted human being.
It's messed up. But over time we've become accustomed to these things.
We don't bat an eyelid.
I think we as Christians need to actually separate ourselves from this world and it's ways.
And at the very least avoiding things like Halloween.
To be honest, I'm speaking as someone who knows demons more than the average guy.
Sadly enough.
They tormented me for years.
Like, engulfed my mind and my emotions made and basically every second of my life a wrestle.
I know you might be asking "What does that have to do with this?"
And it's this:
Demons have literally no morality.
And we know that the devil is called the ruler of this world.
So when I see this, I see a pretty messed up plan to keep allowing children to take part in this day of "dark and spooky" stuff as if it's normal.
And using sugary sweets (Or child kryptonite lol) as an incentive.
Seems a little bit suss to me.
Now, I don't suggest freaking out about what the devil's doing in the world, and looking under every couch cushion for a sign of a plan or anything.
But taking a step back from some things and going "Well, actually..."
And I mean in this case.
Bloodsucking creatures who live in coffins, flesh eating dead people and just all round creepy themes made to appear cute and funny.
Uhhhh, it just kinda seems like a no to me.
And as for the big question "What do I do when a kid knocks at the door?"
Idunno, maybe get some kid friendly Bible tracts and some candy?
I know that sounds weird after everything that I've said.
But you're not gonna stop the neighbors from dressing their kids up. And it'd be pretty a unfruitful effort to attempt to persuade the kids to stop.
But one could use the opportunity to reach the lost and keep the kid happy by still giving them candy.
We can't stop it.
But just closing our doors and saying "We don't give out candy." does nobody any favors.
But even if one kid or their parents get affected by the message, then that's a good thing right?
My thoughts exactly well said❤
I always appreciate your videos, and the shorts!
Dang this wolf in sheep clothing makes me want to celebrate Halloween now.
I believe Halloween is wrong, so even if it isn’t, I apply Romans 14. Just be careful, things get heavy that day.
Yeah, I usually agree with you on most topics. But the way you cherrypicked that... "Children dressed as princesses and superheros" as if the majority isn't dressing up as rotting corpses, ghouls, or literally loads of glorified wicked things. Yeah. You don't see evil as evil? The Bible literally says that one should be able to discern the fruits of darkness. Michael, my man, please rethink this. Children dressing up as literal demons (a fact of reality) is not bad or evil? What?
I guess dressing up as a drug dealer is okay? I mean-- there is a serious cognitive dissonance in this one. Your passion for holidays and other things, is seriously blinding a major display of logic and truth.
Fallacy my friend.
Explain how giving out candy is demonic
I agree. Love Michael's content. But I see the holiday getting darker. It felt innocent in my childhood & I made costumes for my kids & took them out. But I feel differently today due to the times we live in-my town is nuts for zombies (how I miss the pirates!) & the night is more & more taken by adults.

My daughter and her cousins didn't want to interpret the wolf in The Three Little Pigs with puppets. Because the wolf is the bad guy and little kids want to be the heroes.
Adults supposedly get over the childish egocentric phase and understand interpreting a bad guy doesn't make you a bad person, or promoting evil.
Children have to overcome fears. Monsters often are metaphors for fears like diseases, body changes, darkness, death, etc. And they can be transformed.
This is like the discussion about laughter and fears in The Name of the Rose. A character thinks laughing is dangerous because it's ridiculing the devil and losing the fears. Another thinks the caricatures and jokes made by the monks are important, even for religion.
Nevertheless, according to Statista, the most popular Halloween costumes for children in 2018 were princesses and superheroes. US News says "Comic books and superheroes remain a popular choice". Web pages about Halloween costumes for children mostly show costumes of Disney and Marvel characters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Barbie, and Super Mario.

I really like & enjoy your channel and the vast majority of the time, I agree with what you have to say. I have never been a fan of Halloween. I chose not to do the traditional trick or treating with my girls. We always did fun alternative activities generally associated with the church and they still got their large bags of candy. I have been observing the behaviors associated with the holiday over the years; they always seem to celebrate with fear & terror inducing, as well as destructive activities. It doesn’t seem so innocent anymore, at least what I have seen. Many, many of the costumes I see are anything but princesses & such. Blood & guts, ghost, demons, murderous characters that represent evil seem to have become more the norm. There is a lot of evil in this world, and and yes we need to represent the good. I am not afraid of the Holiday, I just don’t think it represents good. So I guess I don’t have a real problem with what she’s saying.
Agreed. Superheroes amd princesses are the least of what kids are dressing up as

Where I'm from (The Netherlands) the Halloween traditions may not be so innocent. A few years ago they erected a fake graveyard for a dance party. That's way out of line in my book. In my area of The Netherlands all traditions center around death and the spiritual world, so I try to stay as far away from it as possible. Not because I am scared of curses and such but because of the way the holiday is celebrated.
exactly, i think IP only thought about the childish side of halloween of the candies and games and that's why he said there's nothing bad with it. But there's this celebration that non believers do that the woman was trying to expose as being satanic because it promotes death.
Maybe, but not exactly. I don't think you realise what Hallowe'en celebrates.
It is part of a three day holiday called "allhallowtide". First day (31st Oct) is Hallowe'en, or "All Hallows' Eve". It is the night before 1stNov.
1st Nov is All Hallows' Day. It is a day to commemorate all Christian saints ("hallow" means 'holy' or 'saint'). Dead, alive. Famous or unknown. From those cannoninated and celebrated on a day, to those that aren't and need a day to be commemorated. That's what All Hallows' Day is. Very Christian.
2nd Nov is the third and final day of Allhallowtide. It's known as "All souls day", and celebrates all souls. Dead or alive. Remembered or forgotten (alas). Family and friends.
This is probably where the graveyard tradition of yours came from.
It is a tradition to visit graveyards during Allhallowstide. This is a very Christian thing to do, as you pay homage and respect to your dead family, friends, and Christians and Martyrs alike, maybe even lighting candles in their memory and praying for their salvation. Very Christian, indeed.
In Eastern Europe, it is tradition to visit dead relatives (as in where they are buried, not literally die and visit them) during Allhallowtide. It is also the start or near the start of the Fasting season, highlighting the link to God.
In the Hispanic world of Latin America, Allhallowtide takes a different approach. You've probably heard of Día de los Muertos! Allhallowtide tends to be very self-reserved and perhaps even a sad holiday, as you are commemorating those who have passed away. But Hispanics turn the holiday around, and make it a more joyous party celebrative holiday. I am not Hispanic, so I can't tell you how Christian they keep the holiday, but I find their method of celebration pretty neat because: A• After all, you hope to see those family members in Afterlife (hopefully the good one), and B• Why frown that they are dead? Why instead not be happy that they were once with us, and rather than be sad they're gone, be happy that it happened and celebrated what they have done for us the world? You've probably watched Coco and in Latino films ig, where families would hang a portrait of their passed relatives, and decorate the murial with things the person enjoyed and are remembered for. It's honestly really sweet, and I hope they celebrate it in Christian manner.
So I definitely see where your experience is coming from, but they seem to have forgotten the 'true meaning of Allhallowtide'. I'd recommend visiting an actual graveyard Christian procession, or an actual graveyard where relatives are buried. However, if there is no graveyard nearby, or they wouldn't want to visit one because of young kids, I really wouldn't mind if they celebrated Hallowe'en and Allhallowtide by decorating the place as a cemetery, AS LONG AS: A• the focus is not on the graveyard aspect, but rather their dead relatives, friends, Christians, etc and B• they celebrate in the most Christian way possible.

Objectively, there is something questionable about dressing up and pretenting. The mysteries of the ancients were performed with ritual "acting" and carrying out things in pretend, the idea of course, like all ritual, is that what we do in the physical is manifest in the spiritual. This is why there is such a spiritual connection with Hollywood. That aside, it's no leap to see Halloween as being a way to normalize this type of behavior. To see this You must first acknowledged that there is a spiritual connection to dressing up and playing pretend that goes deep into history. I dont wanna argue with anyone, it's just my 2 cents in an effort to build a conversation and learn stuff.

Witches use moon cycles, solstices, etc. so if that was the case Christians would be anxious pretty often...but why wouldn't we? Because greater is He who is in us than He who is in the world. Taking your kid out to eat candy is not goving a demon a legal right to your kid. Doing literally witchcraft, energy/spirit transfer, and making covenants with those demons does. Her point actually promotes more fear.
Fact: Halloween in the Philippines is not celebrated just for fun but to go and visit their loved ones who passed away and giving them foods on their graves.
...I got candy, and I got to see my friends and family and neighbors. Why do I celebrate Halloween now? Because I get treats and I get to spend time with my favorite people while doing my favorite things. The aesthetic is my favorite (minus the legit evil stuff) and it takes place during my favorite season.
I was raised in a Christian household and continue to keep that faith in my adult life. It's always been my favorite holiday... because it's FUN.
Yes celebrating Halloween is not bad pray for my sister she doesn't like Halloween okay
Avoid the appearance of evil !
Define the appearance of evil. The appearance of evil in 1 Thessalonians 5:22 is not what you may think it is.
@@jihunshin4864 that which is evil is not of Elohiym
@@henryjordan9453 Be more specific, like what?
@@jihunshin4864 homosexuality, other sexual sins such as adultery pedophila ( can’t spell ) Murder envy lying about Yah bearing false witness etc..
@@henryjordan9453 Ah, yes. Those. I agree, now those are the real appearance of evil, NOT something like Harry Potter. ;)
The whole point of halloween is about spookiness and scariness; fear is ungodly, and while halloween may not be explicitly or directly satanic, inducing fear in others is definitely doing more to serve the source of fear than the Prince of Peace.
Secondly, a lot of the gorier side of halloween tends to glorify violence.
And finally, while it's not a spiritual issue per se, it is downright rude to just go to people's houses and demand things from them or threaten to do something to them if they don't comply.
Look up Living Orthodox - episode 7 truth about Halloween. It's an Orthodox priest explaining why the practice of Halloween is originally from paganism where the dead spirits coming back would want food.
that's so true evil happens every day it don't know about time it doesn't have a measure of time
You're confused buddy. I've noticed in every video you seem to always want to slightly show off your tattoo you're an interesting fellow. Discernment at its best
Judgmentalism at it's best. For one, you don't know if he had that ink prior to conversion, nor do you know that he interprets the Torah regarding tattooing the same way. There's a lot there that you don't know, but you're certainly willing to speak out against his messages based on it anyway. Don't look down, or you'll trip over the log, my friend.
@@engmed4400 doesn't matter. Cover it up. Stop defending a grown man
@Paris Heard, I'm not defending anyone. The man can defend himself. I'm pointing out the fallacy of your decision to be judgmental, and hoping to bring to your mind the fact that more is expected of us, not the least of which is the ability to determine the truth of a statement without using the appearance of the person making the statement as criteria for truth. What you choose to do with that is a giant steaming pile of not my problem.
"The fear of Adonai is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline." Proverbs 1:7
Here in Ireland, we learn in school about how it was the old Irish who created halloween. It's not pagan, but there are some harmless superstitions involved. For example, trick-or-treating came from the idea that on halloween, or Oiche Samhain as it's correctly called, the spirits of the dead would return to the earth to haunt their families, and the only way to stop them playing tricks on you was to leave treats out for them on your door-step. Hence: trick-or-treat. Dressing up in monstrous costume was done to trick the spirits into thinking you were one of them.
So it has pagan origins.
Jeremiah 10:2 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.
@@cisuminocisumino3250 There is no idol worship in halloween. There's a difference between worship and superstition. There are professional athletes who have superstitions about what colour to wear during a fight/match. That does not equate to paganism.
@@snopespeerreview Halloween is a harvest festival. That's actually what its real name, Oiche Samhain, means: night of the harvest. How is it heathenism to celebrate a harvest, just because there are superstitions and games involved?
Yes theres nothing wrong with a day celebrating witches, the dead, and even often times Satan himself. It's okay to tell our kids to be imitators of disney superheroes and villains instead of Christ. Let's ignore the fact that the most popular traditions like wearing masks, trick or treating, and arguably apple bobbing came directly from Samhain, which oddly enough shares the same day with All Saints Day or All Hallows Eve
"In the 9th century the Western Church endorsed 1 November as the date of All Saints' Day, possibly due to the influence of Alcuin, and 2 November later became All Souls' Day. It is believed that over time Samhain and All Saints'/All Souls' influenced each other and eventually syncretised into the modern Halloween. Most American Halloween traditions were inherited from Irish and Scottish immigrants.Folklorists have used the name 'Samhain' to refer to Gaelic 'Halloween' customs up until the 19th century.

'Even if it is true that we're practicing wickedness so what? If you have Christ living inside of you there's nothing they can do.'
IP do you actually mean this?
I believe he does. I have mostly disagree with his teaching. There seem worldly. He doesn't seem to have spiritual discernment to me. Most of his teaching are contrary to the Bible. The statement you quoted is not the statement of someone who is Christ minded. But someone who still holds a strong love for the world and it practices. I compare his statement to the one the devil made when he told Jesus to jump and that the angels would protect him. And the one the 3 Hebrews made when they were to be thrown in the fire for refusing to bow down to idol.
@@etheligidigba410 I like a lot of his teachings, like the Samson video he did more recently was one of the best Christian videos I've seen. And he does a great job disposing supposed Bible contradictions and ideas that some stories in the Bible were inspired from pagans. But when it comes to Torah and the holidays he doesn't seem open minded or honest. He doesn't present the information from all sides and cherry picks scholars
@@rockingpox2274 Yes I agree. I too have enjoyed his Bible and pagan conspiracy videos. I have also enjoyed some of his bible contradiction videos. But at the same time, I am weary of them. He is a strong Trinitirian believer and that seem to guild a lot of his biblical interpretation. I also liked some of his science videos. he believes in the Bible creation account and at the same time billions of years evolution theory. Also his teaching on near death experiences, I'm not so sure about those two. Basically I'm careful with the things I take from him.
@@etheligidigba410 The trinity doctrine is not out of the question and should be respected like other interpretations. I don't think you should isolate yourself from other believers because they're trinitarian. The doctrine dates back to before Yeshua, it's not an idea adopted from paganism.
@@rockingpox2274 I do not isolate myself from Trinitarians believer. But since I am not one of them, I tend to be careful about Bible interpretation that is base on that.
I appreciate this channel because it has good theology AND pushes away people that take random stuff to an extreme. THANK you
it's not about fear ots about not celebrating a satanic holiday. no excuses. having Christ inside of you all the more reason to not engage in Halloween.
I agree that no Christian should take part in Halloween. Modern Halloween where you dress up as monsters and demons and extort candy from homeowners lol. There’s just no reason for it. There’s no glory for God in any of that.
Who cares
What is the expediency of celebrating this even if Halloween is not sinful? Have we so easily forgotten Paul's instructions to the Corinthian church?
The problem is that it’s usually not just little kids dressed up in innocent costumes. If they’re out in neighborhoods they’ll get exposed to all the scary stuff including demonic costumes, music and decorations.
I am literally so annoyed with people saying that Halloween is bad or satanic, if you wanna see it that way then so be it, but some people can manage to see it positively and people need to just accept that😤🙄✋
"So what?" Get behind me Satan!
All of you do realize that while halloween is a pagant holiday but so is "Christmas" and "Easter". So are you going to not celebrate those two holidays as well? Plus also you should do some research to know that halloween is plus also originally from a Roman Catholic religion as well. I'm Christian happily while always celebrating halloween since I was baby and will still celebrate Halloween and not changing anything. PS Also for this year I'm dressing up as an Angel for Halloween this year❤
Exactly I’m a Christian and me and my dad have the best set up at our house and it’s so it means so much to me because it’s just a thing that I celebrate with my dad and I love it in my
Brother
Does this mean I can listen to Somebody’s watching me and Thriller without feeling bad about it?
No
My daughter likes to dress up and get candy but we throw most of it out since it is full of dairy and food dyes. I replace her candy with healthier dairy-free, food dye-free, organic/non-gmo options at home. Think about it, if the veil is thinnest on that day then that includes in your home too. There is no avoiding the day itself. Just pray harder that day, don't practice any of the witchy stuff, dress up funny or cute instead of pervy or wicked and enjoy time with your loved ones.
Let's focus on the Christian origins and deny the evil attempts to hijack the feast.
I thought it was more of an autumn celebration, it associates with death because it's getting colder and fallen leaves cover the ground, it associates with darkness because the nights are getting longer, and if those things are evil then autumn itself is evil, which seems unlikely.
It’s literally a Catholic holiday that’s been commercialised just like Christmas
I love how she says "true Christians..." lol. She is very confident of a position which she obviously has not researched! It is seriously a pet peeve of mine when someone suggests that someone is not a "true Christian" for having a different view on something like this. From what I was able to find a couple years ago in a search for the history behind current traditions, people started to wear masks/costumes in order to ward off evil spirits, not celebrate them!
The devil has only as much power as we give him.
NOTHING she said was true or accurate.
Didn’t Halloween originate from the church?
Edit:☠️I comment too early
The Catholic Church
It’s a feast month for saints( I hope I titled it correctly)
It’s just been secularised into what we see today
halloween was a druid celebration where they would sometimes sacrifice people on
@@snopespeerreview that was not the name given to it
But a celebration was made in that time period where Druids performed human sacrifice
@@snopespeerreviewNo, it wasn't. Samhain was celebrated on November 7th but modern "pagans" (wannabes edge lords) celebrate it on November 1st. Not very traditional for those peeps, for the "accuracy" they spew.
This is one of those times where I'ma just keep scrolling. Good day
She said true Christians, clearly if you celebrate it your aren't true Christians.
Thanks for clearing that up brother!! Much Love!!
Excellent all throughout 👏👏 😎. Do I dare look at the comments lol. Also, it's funny that the same extreme legalistic christians that would complain about a holiday are probably the same who would complain about all that make she is wearing in the video.
Lol, maybe so, if they read and adhere to the book of Enoch
8:1 And Asael taught men to make swords, and daggers, and shields and breastplates. And he showed them the things after these, and the art of making them: bracelets, and ornaments, and the art of making up the eyes and of beautifying the eyelids, and the most precious and choice stones, and all [kinds of] coloured dyes. And the world was changed. 8:2 And there was great impiety and much fornication, and they went astray, and all their ways became corrupt.
I hear this almost everywhere on TikTok and other platforms. She’s entitled to her opinion and I do agree that Halloween has some pagan roots, but I don’t see much a problem with eating candy and wearing costumes.
Let's be honest, you need to DESTROY your phone if u want to leave that crab bucket.
This is what happens when "Christians" forget their Christian tradition. Halloween is a Christian holiday not pagan. The practice of handing out candy developed in America. Its secularization of a Christian holiday.
My daughter wants to be a unicorn princess this year! Pure evil, of course 😅
Keep participating in a demonic ritual by sending your kid out trick or treating then.
Lot of luke warm, cultural compromising Christians here. I bet your kids will be transgender too.
Mermaids and superheroes are children of the fallen angels though
@@nikokapanen82 Superheros are children of fallen angels? OK im going to give you time to realize how ridiculous that sounds. So spiderman is a nephiliam?
@@MinhNguyen-pk9qk
Yes, all the superheroes are modern-day men of renown, the children of the fallen angels. People think since they are not physically real, then they are not real but spiritually they are real, people are obsessed with them, children adore them, idolize them want to be like them. This is the work of the fallen angels.
Halloween should not be celebrated by Christians. we need to pray during this time because babies and children and others are being sacrificed during this time.
Babies and children are being sacrificed everyday though through abortion
By Trick or Treating?
