Would you be shocked and appalled if I told you that Halloween was invented by Christianity?
Halloween is the 3rd most popular holiday in America according to ChatGPT. 15% considering it their favorite Holiday.
Halloween is believed to have stemmed from Celtic origin. The day was called Samhain pronounced Saw-ween. When Rome conquered the Celtic nation in 79 CE, they began to mix this custom with their own dead worshiping holiday.
In short, Halloween is a mixture of many foreign religions brought under the single umbrella of Christianity by the Roman Catholic Church or known in early Christianity as the “Universal Church”. Why was it originally called the “Universal Church” because from its inception Rome envisioned a single Religion or Church that would house all of their pagan deities. Since Christianity was becoming such a sensation all throughout Rome and Asia, what better religion to use than the Christians, since there were so many. By 380 AD Christianity becomes the national religion of Rome, only a facade to merge all of the Roman pagan deities both from Rome itself and the lands which they conquered into a single religion.
At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself, does celebrating the dead on Halloween honor my creator? Does my participation on Halloween pay homage to Yehovah my God? Is there any scriptural basis for celebrating the dead?
I hope your answer would be, of course not! Then why do we look at holidays like Halloween and think to ourselves "It's just harmless fun"? This is exactly what Yehovah warned us about in Deuteronomy which is an Old Testament book and another reason why seemingly well meaning Christians today do not know these things. Because the Old Testament has "passed away" according to mainstream Christianity.
Let's look at what God has to say about this;
Deuteronomy 12:29-31
29 “When the Lord thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them and dwellest in their land,
30 take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after they are destroyed from before thee, and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods? Even so will I do likewise.’
31 Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God, for every abomination to the Lord which He hateth have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burned in the fire to their gods.
But Pagan Rome became so anti-semitic that they wanted nothing to do with the God of the Hebrews because they had a new shiny tribune God called Jesus Christ along with the Virgin Mary. They polluted the name of Jesus by merging him with all the other pagan gods and their rituals which we today see as common place. This is exactly what Yehovah warned us about in Deuteronomy;
Deuteronomy 11:16
Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside and serve other gods and worship them;
The Jesus that is worshiped in Christianity today is largely a false Christ. Yehovah said it in Isaiah;
Isaiah 43:10-11
10 “Ye are My witnesses,” saith the Lord, “and My servant whom I have chosen, that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.
11 I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no savior.
The thing you have to ask yourself is simply, does this honor Yehovah God? Not only Halloween, but none of the man-made holidays on our calendar pays any homage to our Father in Heaven nor to Jesus Christ.
So what are we doing celebrating these pagan deities and doing what the other nations do?
