    The question isn't "is it a sin?" The question should be "will this open a door to allow demonic oppression?" Then if you know better and still do, that's sin.

    Thank you! I wished I lived in Arizona to go to your church! We need a pastor like you at our church!

      He confirms to the world, not to the word don’t be confused we live life to serve God we don’t twist God to conform to our lives. God bless you.

    Having previously had spiritual demons, vampires, and practicing witches in my life, it’s a hard pass for me. Don’t even want those dressed up as them at my door thinking it’s funny and entertaining.
    It’s a hard pass for me to fellowship with.

    This holiday celebrates witchcraft, darkness, evil, death and horror! All of this is opposite to biblical teaching and Christians should not participate in evil.
    Repent! Turn to the light!
    Do not listen to false teachers and pastors!
    “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”
    ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬ ‭

    Naw, it doesn’t honor God. It’s a holiday that celebrates darkness… God is light. I’m not saying it’s a sin, but won’t be celebrating or exposing my young children to this. Just too much at stake…
    I totally get the redeeming point and there may be opportunities for that (spirit lead) but unless the spirit guides me to try to do so, no Halloween for us.

      It definitely is sin and worldly ,and we can win people to Christ by doing it the bible way we don't need to meet people where they are at ,the Lord and his apostles said to repent

    Why do people always look to a pastor for their answers why don't they follow the holy Spirit speaking to them everyone has thier own convictions I mean it's good to receive a good message from a trusted pastor but why do people only put trust in a pastor or a mentor pray and test the spirits

    food for thought: some Christian holidays like Resurrection Day have fallen precisely on wicked observance dates. I consider this question carefully every year.

    Young in the spirit and the walk with God is tough but He has me, I'm grateful so much so that I will obey Jesus and I know if Jesus said he came not to abolish the law but fulfill it then I know that we must not partake in pagan holidays, no way you sugar coat it, it still speaks volumes how soft we Christians have gotten at apply the Word to our daily lives. As a pastor you lead sheep to Jesus not astray, Halloween if allowed into a Christian families will open doors for spirits to have legal access into the home and that's where we start to complain as Christians why things aren't going our way because we gave Satan permission in and he will gladly jump at the opportunity. Don't be afraid to be lose congregants for telling the truth!

    If there is any chance that something would be offensive to God I prefer to err on the side of caution.

    Wow, he’s conforming to the world. That’s how I see it. We’re supposed to change our life to serve God not change God to conform to our lives.

    Mark Why do you guys ever actually read the Bible? Mathew 27: 51-53 sounds like zombies and from the ground opening up bit I'm sure it smelled like zombies too.

    Shouldnt celebrate mothers fathers day The origin of both of these celebrations is based in paganism. Baal is the biblical king/father of Father's Day and Astharoth (/Ashtoreth) is the queen/mother of Mother's Day.
