Around this time half of Christians scream about how evil Halloween is with full intention to celebrate Christmas in a couple months and Easter in the spring.

But Halloween is no more evil than the others and no less. It is infact just like Christmas and Easter simply “other”.

It belongs to other people in other places in other times and should be understood that way.

The only thing more evil about Halloween than Xmas and Easter is the physical appearance and decore.

In reality one is no worse or better than the other and each by our kind ought to be avoided. Not as if it were a satanic tradition or some form of devilry more dire than the rest but as the celebrations of foreign peoples and as with the others far removed from who we are as a holy people and who we are trying to be in Messiah.

The rumors should not be accepted that Halloween is a satanic holiday just because the satanists have adopted it in response to general Christian aversion of it. And no righteous person should be blindly believing the testinony of devil worshipers or supposedly former devil worshippers about what this holiday is and means.

Halloween came from the old Irish celebration of Samhein (Sah-win) named for the month it started. Christmas a merger of old roman Saturnalia and Norse Yule. And Easter came from the old british month of April.

Babylon was not involved. Belial was not involved. And Baal was not involved.

Each heathen holiday celebrated now as holy among Christians or arbitrarily avoided for bad appearance is no more than people remembering their own ancestral heritage and passing it on….and forgetting that we were called to leave behind those beliefs and practices leftover from the old days and to be set apart.

Being set apart is not what happens when we avoid Halloween as sinister and accept Christmas and Easter as saintly. Being set apart happens when we refuse to participate in any of the pagan ways of the nations even if the nation is our own or our ancestors’.
Being set apart happens when we keep the covenant as written in Scripture and it’s customs and commandments.
