Halloween, Protestants, and Scripture

Should Christians celebrate Halloween? It became an official holiday in the 9th century after a pronouncement by the Roman Catholic Pope Gregory IV. Protestants such as Joy Wendling, Kirk Cameron, Hailey Biebber, and Alan Rudnick think Christians should keep it. But other Protestants have issues with that. What about the Church of God, which is not Protestant nor Roman Catholic? What about Martin Luther, the Apostle Jude, the original faith, and licentiousness? Does Halloween have its origins in a pagan Druid holiday which has many of the same features as modern Halloween celebrations? What do Satanists and those who practice Wicca (witchcraft) think of Halloween? Is Halloween the right time to be a Christian witness? What about lewd Halloween costumes? Did a Roman Catholic write, "Catholic feasts are in continuity and fulfill the meaning of the pagan ones"? What did the Apostle Paul write about combining biblical and demonic practices? Did early Christians endorse anything like Halloween or 'All Saints Day'? What is the state of the dead? Should real Christians rely on the Word of God or feelings some ascribe to the Holy Spirit? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
