Halloween is now the second most observed holiday of the American people next to Christmas. That means Resurection Sunday or what some people refer to as Easter Sunday falls under it. Sad!

I say that no matter what Holiday, and no matter what time of the year, We should use that time in season and out of season to give an answer to this lost and dying world for our hope! The method may vary, but the message does not. Jesus is still the Answer!

I agree.
When I was a new believer (30 years ago), I couldn't wait for Halloween. As an unbeliever, I had never cared for the occasion at all but, as a believer, I saw it as an opportunity to share my new found faith. I carved crosses in pumpkins and handed out tracks with candy. I'm not really bothered by Halloween one way or the other, satan has used much less obvious, and much more successful, ways to infiltrate our society.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,… (Ephesians 3:20)

AS I was saying,.... well I forgot what i had typed...so just say I don't do this.. and its not a happy time, children are kidnapped and sacrificed on this high satan nite..
It is dangerous for children to be out , because more are kidnapped at this time of year than other times..
I don't understand how Christians can be so down on keeping the Ten Commandments, but have no prob with keeping a pagan day.. yell and condem anyone keeping days that are mentioned in the Bible, but will spend money .. actually, I have heard the people spend more money on halloween, than they do any othertime..
Halloween( Pagan ) .. the people of God are commanded by God not to take on the customs of pagans..
halloween is the name for the eve of samhain , a celebration marking the beginning of winter as well as the first day of the new year within the ancient celtic culture of Brithish Isles.
The time of Samhain consited of eve of the feast and the day inself Oct 31 and Nov. 1 .
On this occasion , it is believed that a GATHERING OF SUPERNATURAL FORCES OCCURRED as durning no other period of the year.
The eve of Samhain were characterized as a time when the barriers between the human and supernatual worlds were broken.

Otherworldly entries , such like the souls of the dead,were able to visit earthly inhabitants, and humans could take the opportunity to pentrate the domains of gods and supernatual creatures .
Sacrifices of animals and human beings , this was to appease supernatual powers..to put it bluntly, it was and is a blaten time given in appeasing demonic spirits and the dark side of the spirit world.. no Christian should take any part in this, have no appearance of this time in anyway

don't acknowlege it with anything, in anyway ..
