Bible Question: What scriptures should I refer to so I can answer questions on Halloween? |
Bible Answer: Halloween is an ancient celtic holiday. I would suggest doing a search for the history of this day.As for the belief that the dead walk the earth on this day there are a vast number of scripture that inform us of the state of the dead. The one that I find the most compelling is in Ecc. 9:3-6,This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the hearts of the sons of men is full of evil,and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope:for a living dog is better than a dead lion. FOR THE LIVING KNOW THAT THEY SHALL DIE:BUT THE DEAD KNOW NOT ANYTHING,NEITHER HAVE THEY ANYMORE A REWARD;FOR THE MEMORY OF THEM IS FORGOTTEN. ALSO THEIR LOVE AND THEIR HATRED,AND THEIR ENVY,IS PERISHED;NEITHER HAVE THEY ANY MORE A PORTION FOR EVER IN ANY THING THAT IS DONE UNDER THE SUN. How are we praising God on this day? Halloween has nothing to do with the bible. That is why you can't find anything . I hope that was of help Candy Lee |
