The Christian and Halloween

I wonder if members of the Roman Catholic Church to know the truth about where Halloween is celebrated every year the Church.

According to Wikipedia, this festival is the evening of October 31 instead: Halloween is a feast celebrated on the night of October 31 in particular, children wear costumes and go door to door collecting sweets or money. (Wikipedia.Org) And that Halloween was originally a pagan festival. Halloween just ain Ireland as the Celtic Samhain pagan harvest festival. Irish, Scots and other immigrants brought older versions of the tradition to North America in the 19th Century. Most Western countries have Halloween as a part of American pop culture in the late 20th century adopted. (Ibid.) Today, Catholics and other Christian communities are wondering why this pagan festival is celebrated by Christians today. The Apostles and the members of the church of the first centuryChrist celebrated this festival has not been recorded in the Bible or just a part of their tradition? Be ', as he revealed what was up, this festival is originally a pagan festival. Apostles and the church of the first century of Christ do not celebrate each. It 'been a Christian holiday, as Christian missionaries adopted, as it were, already, celebration.The a Christian holiday was a day of religious festivities in various northern European pagan traditions, untilappropriated by Christian missionaries and given a Christian interpretation. (Ibid.) In other words, Halloween is a Christianized pagan festival.

But we think that true Christians are free to celebrate Halloween? To celebrate this pagan festival pagan or God's will?

E 'in the Bible that Paul urged his brethren in the true Church of Christ, which they recorded live as a pagan, "and solemnly 17So I say this in [name] testifythe Lord [as in his presence], who no longer live as the heathen (Gentiles) do in their perverseness [in the vain folly and emptiness of the soul and the futility] of their minds. (Ephesians 4:17, Amplified Bible) "We celebrate the pagan or pagan rituals or celebrations is to live as the Gentiles. But because we, the true Christians, the pagan celebrations avoid? From this verse again, it is clear that the pagans celebrate holidays such as Halloween is stupid and who is notThere are bad people. "17As a follower of the Lord, I command you to stop living like stupid, godless people (Ephesians 4:17, Contemporary English version)" It's not just that this kind of evil for the holidays and the people . so desperately confused "17With authority of the Lord, let me say this:. live no more than the evil [a], these are for you hopelessly confused (Ephesians 4:17, New Living Translation)" This is why the apostles Halloween is not to teach members of the trueChurch of Christ, and celebrating the members of the true Church of Christ is not Halloween, it is not God's will to live as the Gentiles.

Let's just let these so-called Christians, but to celebrate Halloween, because they are not true Christians. True Christians are members of the true Church of Christ and not celebrate this kind of celebration.
