Halloween Celebration, What Does The Bible Say? by slimchimex(m): 8:41am On Oct 30, 2022 |
Halloween has generally been regarded as an American holiday. Yet this celebration has become popular in many parts of the world. Additionally, there are other festivities that are like Halloween in that they celebrate the existence and activity of spirit creatures. Shown here are some of the popular holidays like Halloween around the globe. North America - Day of the Dead South America - Kawsasqanchis Europe - Day of the Dead and variations of Halloween Africa - Dance of the Hooded Egunguns Asia - Bon Festival THE BIBLE’S ANSWER The Bible does not mention Halloween, a holiday that many observe on October 31 each year. However, the ancient origins and traditions of Halloween conflict with Bible teachings. Notice the following verses that show how God views the beliefs associated with Halloween: 1: “There must never be anyone among you who . . . consults ghosts or spirits, or calls up the dead.”—Deuteronomy 18:10-12, The Jerusalem Bible. Meaning: God does not approve of efforts to contact the dead or even of giving the appearance of trying to have contact with those who have died. 2: “The dead know nothing at all.”—Ecclesiastes 9:5. Meaning: Because the dead are unconscious, they cannot contact the living. 3: “[Do not] be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too.”—1 Corinthians 10:20, 21, New International Version. Meaning: Those who want God’s favor must avoid any connection with demons. 4: “Stand firm against the crafty acts of the Devil; because we have a struggle . . . against the wicked spirit forces.”—Ephesians 6:11, 12. Meaning: Christians should oppose wicked spirit forces, not pretend to celebrate with them. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/halloween-origin/ https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/g201309/truth-about-halloween/
