Hello again, dear bloggers. Today's topic is "The truth of Halloween" and although we Oct, not do you any harm inform you about this party.
What we now know as Halloween was celebrated 3000 years ago by the Celts. The Celts celebrated the end of the year with Samhain, a pagan festival.
Halloween means "the eve of the dead." The Celts believed that every October 31 of each year, a door between the living and the dead opened, and they went to the world of the living. If found they had left them gifts or food, they would avenge the dead. That is why the habit of leaving gifts to the dead arose.
October 31 is a date associated with the dead, lost souls, witches and spells. These features are due to its proximity to the day of the dead, which caused the Catholic Church and which falls on November 1. The Celts practiced human and animal sacrifices in honor of the god Samhain, lord of death.
Today, there are still people who are part of satanic sects, and celebrate Halloween in the way that the Celts celebrated: human sacrifices. Now maybe you understand why October is the month in which more children disappear and then appear but dead.
Halloween is not the cheerful and happy holiday that many believe to be the truth is that it is a Satanic holiday, and we must not let our kids involved in this. It is not a game, unfortunately many people do not give it the importance it really has.
What does God think about this? Remember that God is our priority and we must abide by what he sends us, you may not understand why, but God always does things for a reason.
Ever, have you ever wondered why dress up in Halloween?
Well, to answer your question, as I mentioned earlier, the Celts believed that the dead would come to the world of the living. Because of this, demons disguised themselves in animal skins, as well, the dead would not harm them. Over time, that changed and now dress as characters and animals.
Back to the subject, the Bible does not mention exactly to Halloween, but it gives us some guidelines of which can guide us.
Halloween is represented by ghosts, pumpkins, devils, cobwebs, etc.
Are there ghosts?
Many people believe in ghosts. Several claim to have seen a family now deceased, and other have heard his voice. Well, 1st place, according to the Bible we die once. In Hebrews 9: 2, the Apostle Paul says that "it is appointed for men to die once, and after this the judgment." So no souls out there lurking in your house or in the house Matusita. But that's another story.
When Satan rebelled against God, because I wanted to be more than a third of the angels supported him and expelled him. These are the demons. The word devil means "be smart". They have power, are more powerful than us and attempt to deceive. Perhaps you say, "If there are ghosts, then what was that voice I heard when I saw that relative died?" Or who was it? As I mentioned demons are intelligent. And to answer your question, that voice you heard and what you saw was the work of a demon. They have power to make freak out, and can also mimic a voice perfectly.
Should we be afraid? No. God is Almighty, the demons fear him, while we are under the protection of God, there is nothing to fear. What is lost is protection? When we let go of the hand of God, when we turn away from him. What separates us from God? The sin. He puts a barrier between you and God. Remember God does not give you back, you can give it. What should I do? Repent and pray. Do not think that there will be no punishment, because man reaps what he sows. But it is no longer as strong as before, but you had repented. If you do not repent you are sinful, filthy before God. To repent is to turn away from evil and return to the path of good.
Why pumpkins?
The custom of hollowing out and carving a pumpkin to make it a lamp called Jack-o-lantern has its origins in the eighteenth century Irish folklore. By all accounts, Jack was a drinker, a gambler and notorious slacker who spent his days lying under an oak. Legend has it that n one occasion, Satan appeared intending to take him to hell. Jack challenged him to climb the oak, when the devil was in the tree, carved a cross into the trunk to prevent fall. Then Jack made a deal with the devil: he would lose if never again tempt to gambling or drinking.
The story goes that when Jack died he was not allowed into heaven for their sins in life, but could not enter hell because he had tricked the devil. To compensate, the devil gave him an ember to light his way through the icy darkness why I should wander until doomsday. The ember was placed inside a hollowed bucket "called turnip" to burn like a lamp for a long time.
The Irish used turnips used to manufacture their "Jack's lanterns", but when the immigrants came to the United States warned that pumpkins were more plentiful than turnips. For this reason, the custom of carving pumpkins for Halloween and transform them into lanterns introducing a coal or a candle inside emerged. The lantern was not intended to summon evil spirits but keep them away from people and their homes.
Parents who read this. They have no excuse not to celebrate Halloween. Not compromise their children. They are innocent, they do not deserve to hurt them. If you've decided to follow God, there are things you have to change things before you did out of ignorance. But now that you know is wrong, there is no reason to. Do not risk.
Before closing, I want you to observe this passage: 1 Timothy 4: 1: "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and doctrines of devils." Do not let that fool you, is not a harmless Halloween party, there is much more behind costumes and candy.
There is a reason that today God wanted to read this. Hopefully not in vain.
God Bless and Protect of all evil.
Mary is reported and outside.
