Arguments AGAINST
Halloween
1. Halloween originated
as a pagan holiday, and
it’s still considered the
most sacred night for
those involved in the
occult. Much evil is
committed on that
night by people who
delve into the evil side
of the spiritual world.

2. Halloween customs are
derived from pagan
practices and carry with
them all the symbolism that
points to those dangerous
practices. Children who
carve Jack-o-lanterns, dress
up in costumes, go trick or
treating and tell ghost
stories are unwittingly
identifying themselves with
the pagan practices from
which those customs were
derived.

3. Halloween encourages
people’s interest in the
occult, promoting its
values subtly and not-so-subtly.
As Scripture says,
everything is
permissible, but not
necessarily beneficial.

ALTERNATIVES
Whether we like it or not-
Halloween is happening on
the 31st of October. Question
is . . . “Can we use it for
ministry?” In Acts 17 the
Apostle Paul used the culture
and foreign gods of the day to
introduce his presentation of
the Gospel.

While we have to be
careful of the Halloween
practices we participate in,
we can also use the
occasion to reach out with
the Gospel and provide
Christian alternatives for
our youth to participate in
and even invite their
friends.
