This document discusses arguments for and against Christians providing Halloween alternatives to reach youth. It outlines three arguments against Halloween: that it originated as a pagan holiday sacred to the occult; its customs derive from dangerous pagan practices; and it can promote interest in the occult. However, it also argues that Christians can use Halloween as an opportunity for ministry, like how Paul used pagan culture in Acts to introduce the Gospel. By being careful of practices, Christians can provide alternative celebrations and games for youth and invite their non-Christian friends.
The document summarizes the biblical story of the Widow's Mite, in which Jesus observes a poor widow donating two small copper coins to the temple treasury. While others gave large sums out of their wealth, Jesus notes that the widow's small donation was worth more because it represented all she had to live on. The story teaches that God values sacrifice over gift size and that small gifts can be used by God. The document also discusses applying the story's lesson through mite boxes, which children can fill with coins to learn giving principles.
1) Halloween has its origins in pagan rituals and Druid traditions that involved human and animal sacrifices to appease spirits.
2) The Bible warns Christians against participating in pagan practices or having fellowship with darkness.
3) The document encourages Christians to celebrate Reformation Day instead of Halloween and to engage in spiritual warfare through prayer.
Halloween has its origins as a Christian holiday known as All Hallows Eve, which is the vigil to All Saints Day on November 1st. It was established in the 8th century by Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV to honor saints and martyrs. While some elements of Halloween celebrations have roots in pre-Christian Celtic harvest traditions, the holiday itself is not pagan in origin. Some Christians have opposed Halloween due to anti-Catholic sentiment and claims that it is a pagan ritual. However, for Catholics and other Christians, Halloween can be celebrated as a way to honor saints and remember Christian beliefs about souls in Purgatory.
The document discusses the origins and traditions of Halloween costumes and trick-or-treating. It suggests that the modern traditions of wearing costumes and going door-to-door collecting treats on October 31st are linked to medieval European practices of mumming and souling on the eves of All Saints' and All Souls' Days. People would wear costumes, sing, and engage in mischief-making while mumming or go door-to-door offering prayers for the dead in exchange for treats like soul cakes during souling. Over time, these traditions merged with the modern celebration of Halloween.

Halloween originated as a Celtic festival called Samhain celebrating the end of the harvest season. On this day, the Celts believed spirits of the dead returned, and people would wear costumes and light bonfires to scare away the spirits. When Christianity spread across Europe, All Saints Day on November 1st incorporated some of the traditions. Immigrants brought Halloween to America in the 19th century, where it evolved into a secular community celebration focused on children's activities like trick-or-treating. By the 20th century, Halloween had become a holiday directed mainly at young people involving costumes, parties, and collecting candy door-to-door. While the religious and spiritual meanings have faded, Halloween remains an annual tradition that brings

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

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.
www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com
4. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
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.
www.CreativeHolidayIdeas.com
5. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
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.

The argument for Halloween
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.

careful of the Halloween
practices we participate in,
we can also use the

the Gospel and provide
Christian alternatives for
our youth to participate in
and even invite their
friends.
