⁹ When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. ¹⁰ There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, ¹¹ or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. ¹² For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. ¹³ You shall be blameless before the Lord your God. ¹⁴ For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the Lord your God has not appointed such for you.

–DEUTERONOMY 18:9-14 (NKJV)–

Halloween might have been turned into a pop holiday for cute kids’ costumes and going door-to-door for candy, but the spiritual substance of Halloween, if people would just stop and think about it, is essentially devil worship, Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA), Wicca, and Druidism. Even human sacrifice! Not to mention devil-glorifying horror films which bring demonic oppression and hauntings into people’s lives. If people want to give attention to fear in October, then use this time to preach hellfire and brimstone sermons, not to glorify the devil. Trunk-or-Treats are a sign that even Baptist and Pentecostal preachers don’t have enough faith in the first commandment: “You shall have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3)–allowing kids and parents to dress up like Harry Potter or some witch AT CHURCH! And to not rebuke ’em for it! The fact that idolatry, worship of other gods, and outright lying to kids right there in church is going on, goes to show that American tradition is more important to such preachers than the Ten Commandments. It also shows us that SUCH PREACHERS DON’T BELIEVE IN THE SUPERNATURAL; AND ARE ACTUALLY UNBELIEVERS. If they did, they wouldn’t allow this watered-down Satanism into the church, and PREACH AGAINST THE MIRACULOUS GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AT THE SAME TIME! –J.B.
