Halloween Free online reading

The celebration of the pagan festival of Halloween is now a multi-billion dollar merchandiser's market. Fifty percent of Americans will decorate for Halloween (compared to over 80 percent for Christmas). It is now the third most popular party activity, after the Superbowl and New Year's Eve.

This is always a difficult time for Christians, especially those with children. It is also a dangerous time for some, since many of the seemingly "harmless" involvements associated with Halloween can also be "entries" for the occult, and can prove very tragic for the unwary.

There is only one true God (Isaiah 44:6, 8: 46:9). Thus, only one true religion. Scripture declares "all gods of the nations are idols" (Psalms 96:5). All false religion and idolatry is by definition involved in demon worship - whether or not the participants recognize it (Acts 26:18). Hence Paul's concern. The spiritual power and reality behind idols involves demons (I Corinthians 10:20, Psalms 106:37). The Bible tells us to shun occultist practices.

This series will help you understand the Pagan background to the modern Halloween traditions practiced today. After listening to your study on Halloween, and being a former pagan high priestess of 10 years, then coming to know Christ in 1999, I have to say that the study was very accurate!

Please do all you can to keep warning others about this dangerous time of the year.
