Demons are Evil. Now there may be some rational argument for saying "Maybe adults should not dress as demons because children may confuse that with glorifying evil." But even then, that's doing a disservice to your child, because it assumes they are stupid and cannot learn the difference.

Now, if you're actually practicing witchcraft, I do not condone that as a Christian. The rules there are very clear.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2 ESV

https://bible.com/bible/59/rom.12.2.ESV

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
I Peter 5:8‭-‬9 NKJV



You need to know that the devil is cunning

Any can use anything to make it look good but is actually bad

If you're letting evil have claim over a date, then it is exactly that. You are ceding ground to them. Why?

Abstain from every form of evil.
I Thessalonians 5:22


Halloween is a day of evil, when they come to my door can feel evil and nothing good can come from Halloween

I do not believe so. I feel mostly nothing when children dressed for fun come to my door.

If you are not glorifying God then why participate in halloween

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isaiah 5:20

So when someone dressed as a disney princess rings your doorbell and asks for candy you can feel evil exuding from the interaction?

May sound strange but yes

Actually, you can Glorify god on Halloween.

Didn't we also have an alternative celebration to subvert halloween, like the harvest festival or reformation day. So folks won't to the witchcraft and pagany thing on the same day. I get how we did subvert evil pagan halloween with trick or treat halloween (or another more "wholesome" activity). 🤷‍♀️

How is that evil though? She’s just dressing up as her role model and asking for candy

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

@Pizzacork

Usually it's an indirect way of glorification. Halloween, at least as I see it, is All Saints Day. Saints are not something you pray to. Saints are simply those who worshipped in life and have moved on. So it's a great day to sit and teach about any remarkable ancestors you have. And many families do have remarkable ancestors who walked in the ways of Christianity.

I don't know how it works but i think the caths do halloween to comemorate "all saints day -eve" like we all get ready for Christmas on "Christmas eve" 🤔

I like to look at it like this kidnappers you use can to get the kids so the car and before you know the kid is kidnapped. Now look it like this the devil is the kidnappers and preying on your innocents by using candy to distract you and take you away from your father which is God

Is it similar to day of the Dead?

I would say yes

Day of the Dead is the Mexican version of saying "All Saints Day."

Can you rephrase the first sentence cause grammatical it doesn’t make sense for what you’re trying to say

Ah cool

Well, spanish.

Fixed

Yeah before big box stores and maddison avenue marketing firms made it a secular holiday to make a killing off selling candy and costumes.

It's a sad thing, isn't it?

@hyperiacob So how is candy a distraction from God? Kids aren’t worshipping candy when they go out. They aren’t praying to it

they are worshipping there Disney princess ect

No they aren’t

The princess is a role model to them that they look up to but don’t worship

For example parents are role models but you don’t worship them

Is this called the mardi gras down in nu orleans?

All Saints Day is the ultimate day to teach children about dead war heroes in your family, about remarkable women who have done incredible things for their families, for people who have overcome hardship and triumphed over it. And you tie it all in and say "They learned to do these things because of the values taught by Jesus. They learned these things from the prophets and the martyrs and the wise men in the Bible."

I dunno.

just saying, many adults these days are kinda stupid and i know of a whole sect of Christians that would believe just that if they saw you dress as a demon :p

Sadly, you may have a point 😔

On the night of October 31, the Celts’ priestly class called the Druids would engage in grizzly human sacrifices. These included having their victims bob for apples in cauldrons of boiling liquid, burning them in a large wicker cage in the shape of a man, carving turnips and other gourds to be filled with human fat and burned to signal to demons and spirits, and going door to door among the villages to collect human sacrifices.

to their credit, those people have less of a chance to fall to glorification of evil
