What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

When I was growing up as a child, halloween was all about candy. Trick or treat. I learned about it from attending school. Classmates would bring that celebration from what they have been doing into school.

Or the teacher would bring the idea in to introduce it to us kids by just telling it was trick or treat dressing up to get candy. Good, clean, fun as she explained it.

See, I would get candy when I wanted it all year round. And I didn’t see what the point was with this day to make it more special than Christmas. And halloween was always at night.

As a child, I went to bed at night. I didn’t go door to asking for candy. I saw the only difference between halloween candy was the way it was wrapped for halloween.

I didn’t fit in with kids who celebrated it anyway. Those of us kids that got along were teased because we were weird Church brats. That’s okay, considering how those kids turned out as adults. Nothing good.

Wanting to know more about this , I did research. Halloween has Celtic pagan roots from Europe that were brought here. The pagan pagan was of English, Irish, and Scottish peoples. They worshiped the demon Samhain on the 31st of October every year.

I am not telling you what to do, just informing you of what I learned regarding celebrating this event.

You will choose to or and celebrate or not. With anything you do does not have GOD in it and celebrates the opposite of what is righteous, reconsider it. This is your soul you need to protect.

The gathering of your friends and family can be done without adding evil to it. JESUS will return at any time. And to be caught celebrating samhain is not good. 😔

Please research for yourself. Read GOD’S word. Google info on halloween. It is better to repent and right than to regret later from being wrong.
