For so many halloween presents a dilemma, what do you do with a holiday with roots in the occult? It would be something like walking home late at night, past a grave yard, you notice that there is a celebration going with people dressed in death-glorifying or satanic costumes, beckoning you to come in and join them. Let's make October 31 a day of great remembrance (and educational opportunity) of our Reformed heritage. -by Brad Winsted http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/onlinediscipleship/halloween/refo rmation_day.aspx size 41805 bytes indexed 7/15/04 Hits: 801 halloween is big business, but how did it start and where did it come from? Satanists still offer sacrifices to the Devil at halloween. The observance of halloween is a serious business for the large number of wizards and witches˙ covens in the country today. Halloween is not harmless fun, nor should it be treated as such. http://www.loughbrickland.org/Articles/halloween.shtml size 9554 bytes indexed 10/1/03 Hits: 340 Everyone seemed to have forgotten that a different minority had, only nine months earlier, banned Christmas songs as offensive to their beliefs.

Churches will fully sanction the event with parties that will be decorated with witches, cats, brooms, jack-o-lanterns and bobbing apples. What is the harm? How did this originate? -by Gloria Phillips https://web.archive.org/web/20120503153311/http://www.believersweb .org/view.cfm?ID=612 size 6786 bytes indexed 3/9/98 Hits: 277 Every year at the end of October we are treated to the sight of excited children masquerading as witches, pirates, devils, ghosts, vampires, and other symbols of evil. From door to door they go yelling "Trick or treat" collecting candies and tidbits. http://www.champs-of-truth.com/books/hallowee.htm size 8910 bytes indexed 10/28/05 Hits: 764 We are celebrating that this week. On October 31 we celebrate not halloween and not a pagan festival, not the superstitious nonsense of ghosts and goblins, but, as Christians, we celebrate a great work of God in the church. That great work is when He brought the church back to the gospel. Martin Luther, October 31, 1517, nailed 95 statements of belief to the church door in Wittenberg. -by Rev.

The posting of these theses may have caused great uproar all over Europe, but it did not bring about the decisive act of secession (yet). -by P.
