So as you know we do not celebrate Halloween in our family. There are many reasons and here are some of the Bible verses that back up our decision.
1 Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
So we don't watch scary things on tv or dress up in scary costumes.
Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful
works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with
unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and
what communion hath light with darkness?
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and
all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone: which is the second death.
When we claim to be "Christians" we are saying we are "christ-like". And in order to be Christ-like we need to obey the Bible. Not just parts we want to pick out. We apply the whole Bible to our whole lives and when we do that it convicts our hearts about the things in our lives that shouldn't be there.
Don't get me wrong~we are not perfect by any means but we are trying daily to live "Christ-like". We fail Him every day and make mistakes but He knows the desires of our hearts. Christians are supposed to be "Set Apart" from the world, not behaving just like them.
