Summary

The celebration of the pagan festival of Halloween is now a multi-billion dollar merchandiser's market. Fifty percent of Americans will decorate for Halloween (compared to over 80% for Christmas). It is now the third most popular party activity, after the Superbowl and New Year's Eve. This is always a difficult time for Christians, especially those with children. It is also a dangerous time for some, since many of the seemingly "harmless" involvements associated with Halloween can also be "entries" for the occult, and can prove very tragic for the unwary. There is only one true God (Isa 44:6, 8: 46:9). Thus, only one true religion. Scripture declares "all gods of the nations are idols" (Ps 96:5). All false religion and idolatry is by definition involved in demon worship - whether or not the participants recognize it (Acts 26:18). Hence Paul's concern. The spiritual power and reality behind idols involves demons (I Cor 10:20, Ps 106:37). The Bible tells us to shun occultic practices. This series will help you understand the Pagan background to the modern Halloween traditions practiced today. Originally Recorded 1996 First Video Release: 2022 © Koinonia House Inc. 2022

Session 2, Witchcraft and the Occult.

0:47.0

We're going to talk tonight about which, which is which.

0:52.8

Or in other words, we're going to talk a little bit about witchcraft and the occult.

0:57.1

And since we're here at the Telestai Christian Center, and I'm sure you know that the pastor is Randolph

1:01.5

Michelson, his wife is Joanna Michelson, famous for written a number of outstanding books,

1:06.2

one of which is the beautiful side of evil and so forth.

1:08.9

But one of her many, many gifts is her quip for puns.

1:14.6

I know of no one that's more skilled with puns than Joanna. And one of my favorites of her

1:21.1

one-liners is, have you ever found a happy medium? You know. So stealing that line of hers, that could be a subtitle for what we

1:30.5

want to talk about tonight a little bit. We're doing a little series on Halloween. It's interesting

1:36.6

that once a year, we as a culture face this peculiar holiday. And on the one hand, we are immersed in our

1:43.5

culture with all kinds of pagan vestiges,

1:46.0

the names of our weeks, and virtually all the major holidays. Upon research, you'll unravel

1:52.0

the fact that almost all of them go back, at least to Rome, and some of its rituals. Certainly

1:57.0

most of them even go back to Babylon and so forth. And so many of them may trouble the serious Christian,

2:01.6

but none more than the peculiar holiday that we, some,

2:06.4

we sort of dismiss in a childish way, Halloween.

2:10.6

And yet the more we think about it, the more we explore it,
