(Reported By Billy Hallowell) Should Christians celebrate Halloween? That’s a controversial question with the power to spark intense debate among the faithful. After all, some see the holiday as rooted in evil, inappropriate and simply unworthy of being celebrated by believers. Others, though, have no qualms about partaking in the more fun-filled and benign aspects. Pastor Mark Driscoll, formerly of Mars Hill Church, recently tackled this question in a video he uploaded to his website. Driscoll primarily argued that, rather than immediately jumping to a “yes” or “no” response, it’s essential for believers to turn to prayer for guidance on how to
observe holidays like Halloween, as The Christian Post reported. “These are the three options – receive, reject, or redeem,” he argued. “You may be wanting me to tell you ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ but I really think this is something to study through, to pray through.”Of his own experience, Driscoll said he and his wife initially rejected Halloween, though he said they eventually moved into the “redeem” stage, encouraging Christians to ask themselves how they can stay faithful to their beliefs while still loving people as they observe certain calendar events.

Are people really this ignorant of Yahuah’s scriptural truth, that one would really need to ask this sort of question…..people really need to read their Bibles to see and know what Yahuah requires of us, and what we SHOULD be observing, which are all His Moedim/Set-Apart Feasts, Festivals and His Sabbaths…..all of man’s observances are an abomination to your Elohim….and if people are still under the belief that His commands are or have been done away with, then you should not be a believer in Messiah, because He set the example of what we should be doing, nothing was done away with…
Matthew 5:17-20
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets.*n5 I did not come to destroy but to complete. 18 “For truly, I say to you, till the heaven and the earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.*n6 19 “Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the heavens; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens. 20 “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees,*n7 you shall by no means enter into the reign of the heavens.
