HALLOWEEN SARBATOARE PAGANA, DEMONICA, ANTICRISTICA
HALLOWEEN SARBATOARE PAGANA, DEMONICA, ANTICRISTICA
CRESTINII NOSTRI mai putin dusi la Biserica serbeaza pe 31 octombrie Halloween-ul (acesta fiind al doilea import in materie de sarbatori, dupa celebrul de pe acum Valentine’s Day). Multi considera ca sarbatoarea Haloween-ului (All Hallow’s Eve) este doar seara (ajunul) de dinaintea Zilei tuturor sfintilor (All Saint’s Day), praznicul romano-catolic din 1 noiembrie. Americanii isi amintesc acum de mortii lor, celebreaza victoria lui Hristos asupra mortii si puterilor intunericului, rad de… rau si de moarte. Se considera, deci, ca este sarbatoare crestina chiar daca e importata, dupa toate probabilitatile, din paganismul celt (druid). Greu insa de convins un om rational ca aceasta sarbatoare ar avea duh crestinesc…
Adevarul e insa altul. Ea e o sarbatoare 100% pagana, oculta, “ziua cand mortii, fantasmele parasesc mormintele…”. Ea e cea mai mare sarbatoare a slujitorilor satanei: vrajitori, spiritisti sau satanisti. Americanii au dezvoltat o adevarata industrie legata de aceasta sarbatoare. Se achizitioneaza cu aceasta ocazie accesorii macabre: masti, costume de vampiri, diavoli, dragoni, zombi, leprosi, schelete si nelipsitii dovleci, ajungandu-se pana la vanzari de o jumatate de miliard de dolari anual. Vanzarile filmelor horror cresc in aceasta perioada, promotorii filmelor de groaza speculand si ei interesul mare pentru acest praznic. Industria filmelor horror exploateaza la maxim setea de senzatii tari, dovedind nepasare fata de psihicul omului, caruia nu-i ofera nimic altceva decat angoase.
America face cu ocazia Halloween-ului pregatiri mai mari decat de Craciun sau Paste. Copii se costumeaza in stil horror, se amuza prin sperieturi si merg (colinda) din casa in casa pentru a primi prajituri. Tinerii, mai curajosi, merg in cimitire in miez de noapte si se distreaza facand spiritism. S-a constatat ca in noaptea Halloween-ului se savarsesc foarte multe crime in Statele Unite.
De altfel, in cunoscutul documentar TV Invazia pagana se spunea ca la intrebarea “Cum ati vrea sa serbati Halloween-ul?”, 80% din elevii americani de clasa a IV-a de la o scoala au raspuns zambind : “As vrea sa omor pe cineva…” Acesta este impactul sarbatorii !
Biserica, adica noi, madularele ei vii, nu trebuie sa luam parte la aceasta sarbatoare oribila si demonica.

Un raspuns la postare
Multumesc foarte mult, aveti multa dreptate, cred ca multi americani nu isi dau seama de faptul ca se joaca cu niste spirite si duhuri necurate, Deavolul este real si puterea lui este la fel de reala si nu ar trebui luate in bataie de joc si nici in gluma. La noi in Africa oameni se ingrozesc si sunt infricosati numai sa se vorbeasca de Satanism si vrajitori ,,,,se stie destul de bine puterea lui satan.
Multumesc frumos!Domnul sa va binecuvinteze pe deplin!
Cu multa dragoste!

HALLOWEEN- A CELEBRATION OF DARKNESS
Halloween A Celebration of Darkness
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” Ephesians 5:11
Halloween is celebrated by millions of people around the
world every October 31, and the vast majority of them are innocent
children, unaware of its dark history, and its ungodly promotion of sin
and evil, which is clearly condemned by the authority of God’s Word, the
Holy Bible (Ephesians 5:11).
The
celebration of Halloween is directly connected to the pagan “Celtic
festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes
to ward off roaming ghosts” (1).
“In ancient Britain and Ireland, the Celtic Festival of
Samhain was observed on October 31, at the end of summer…The souls of
the dead were supposed to revisit their homes on this day and the
autumnal festival acquired cats, fairies and demons of all kinds said to
be roaming about. It was the time to placate the supernatural powers
controlling the processes of nature. In
addition, Halloween was thought to be the most favorable time for
divinations concerning marriage, luck, health, and death. It was the
only day on which the help of the devil was invoked for such
purposes”(2).
The same Encyclopedia continues to expose the pagan, occult roots of Halloween.
“Halloween had its origins in the festival of Samhain among
the Celts of ancient Britain and Ireland. November 1 was considered the
end of the summer period, the date on which the herds were returned from
pasture and land tenures were renewed. It was also a time when the
souls of those who had died were believed to return to visit their
homes. People set bonfires on hilltops for relighting their hearth fires
for the winter and to frighten away evil spirits, and they sometimes
wore masks and other disguises to avoid being recognized by the ghosts
thought to be present. It was in these ways that beings such as witches, hobgoblins, fairies, and demons came to be associated with the day” (3).
While it is understood and
expected that many in the world unfortunately disregard the clear
warnings from the Holy Scriptures pertaining to one being a partaker of
Halloween, which is clearly associated with sin, darkness, and the
consequences of death as a result of the wages of sin (Romans 6:23),
many in the apostate church world today who should know better, reject
the Word of God with arrogance and without any shame or regret. Many in
the church world today disregard the clear teaching of Holy Scripture
with regards to the ungodly celebration of Halloween (Ephesians 5:11;1
Thessalonians 5:22), and would argue that the celebration has so called
“Christian origins,” pointing to the Roman Catholic celebration of All
Hallow’s Eve on October 31, the night before All Saints Day on November 1
which was a celebration remembering the church martyrs who died in the past.
However, the Roman Catholic celebration of All Saints Day
does not remember all the genuine, godly, born again Christians who died
in the Protestant Reformation. It also does not account for the false
gospel preached by the Roman Catholic
church that rejects the Holy Bible’s clear teaching of salvation by the
grace of God alone, through repentance and faith alone in the finished
work of the Lord Jesus Christ upon the cross of Calvary, in order for
one to be justified and forgiven of one’s sin, to escape the wrath of
God in hell, and to receive everlasting life in heaven (Romans
5:1-11;Ephesians 2:8-9).
“In the 7th Century AD, Pope Boniface IV established All Saints’
Day, originally on May 13, and in the following century, perhaps in an
effort to supplant the pagan holiday with a Christian observance, it was
moved to November 1. The evening before All Saints’ Day became holy, or hallowed, eve and thus Halloween” (4).
“It is generally agreed that, in church history, Halloween took
the place of a special day celebrated by the ancient Druids, who were
the learned or priestly class of Celtic religion”(5).
Therefore, Halloween is in no
way, shape, or form a Christian holiday that has any association with
true Biblical Christianity, because the evil fruit it has produced
clearly condemns it, and identifies it as having its true roots in the
“…corrupt tree…” of paganism and witchcraft that can only “…bringeth
forth evil fruit”(Matthew 7:17).
As a result of understanding the Roman Catholic holiday of
All Saints Day, and All Hallow’s Eve which was a compromised attempt to
replace the pagan celebration of Samhain, along with today’s promotion
of evil in Halloween, and its evident connection to its pagan roots,
there can be no justification or fellowship of its celebration among
true born again Christians who fear and love the Lord Jesus Christ, and
who will obey His commandments by having “…no fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness” (Ephesians 5:11), and who recognizes “what
fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion
hath light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14).
The dressing of children in costumes is in direct connection
with the pagans of the past, in order to disguise one self from evil
spirits, and saying “trick or treat” which was a custom of leaving a
treat for the dead, so that they would not come back to the home and
cause a horrible trick, or harm the individuals who resisted in
distributing the treat. All of these customs clearly have their roots in the Satanic, and pagan past of Samhain.
Although the clear pagan, and
Satanic past alone should be sufficient for one not to partake of the
evil, wicked, celebration of Halloween, its present association,
promotion, and glorification of evil would utterly condemn it to be a
clear work of darkness, that promotes sin, evil, and Satanic witchcraft.
Therefore, apart from its
ungodly roots, Halloween today is clearly the promotion of evil.
Promoting witchcraft, witches, demon spirits, murder, blood and
dismembered body parts, skeletons, ghosts, haunted houses, horror, pain,
violence, death, and many other areas of evil that cannot be denied by
any one who has eyes, ears, and a clear understanding of the facts.
Witchcraft, murder, contact with the dead or in reality with demons,
along with all the works of darkness are all sin, and an abomination to
God that is utterly condemned by the Word of God the Holy Bible
(Deuteronomy 18:9-12;Galatians 5:19-21).
The Bible says, “Ye that love
the LORD, hate evil” (Psalm 97:10). The true Bible believing born again
Christian has no choice but to hate Halloween and to have absolutely no
fellowship, or association with it, for to do so would demonstrate a
love for this dark, and ungodly world of sin (1 John 2:15-17), a clear
hatred for the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 6:24), and friendship with
this ungodly world of sin, thus making one “…the enemy of God” (James
4:4).
The Bible says, “And have no
fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove
them” (Ephesians 5:11), and to “Abstain from all appearance of evil” (1
Thessalonians 5:22).
Halloween is a clear celebration of evil, and the promotion of Satanic darkness, that is not an innocent time for children, but
a clear indoctrination of witchcraft and every form of evil in the
hearts of precious children who are being sacrificed “…to seducing
spirits, and doctrines of devils” (1 Timothy 4:1).
To celebrate Halloween is to celebrate Satanic darkness, and
no genuine Christian can be saved and have fellowship with the Lord
Jesus Christ and have fellowship with darkness and sin at the same time.
“If we say that we have fellowship with
him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth” (1 John 1:6).
Halloween is clearly one of the many “…devices” (2 Corinthians 2:11)
from Satan to damn as many precious souls to hell as possible (1 Peter
5:8).
There must be no apology in reproving the darkness of
Halloween, for reproving such darkness is obedience to the authority of
Holy Scripture (Ephesians 5:11; 2 Timothy 4:2),
and clearly demonstrates a genuine love for precious souls deceived by
Satan, that need to receive God’s love, forgiveness, and salvation only
through repentance and faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ, in order to
escape hell and receive everlasting life (Luke 13:3; John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 13:6).
If you are reading this
article, and you are not truly saved through the Lord Jesus Christ, you
need to repent of your sins, and receive God’s love and salvation only
through the Lord Jesus Christ by faith alone to escape hell today (Luke
13:3;John 3:16;John 14:6;Acts 4:12;Acts 20:21).
Halloween is a celebration of darkness, evil, and sin that
must not be celebrated by the true Bible believing born again Christian
but rejected, reproved, and rebuked, for we are commanded by the Holy
Ghost to “Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good”
(Romans 12:9).
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” Ephesians 5:11.
