![WHY WOULD ANYONE DECIDE TO WORSHIP SATAN? [2 OF 2] Besides the irrelevancy of so many apostate Christian Churches today, other reasons people choose satanism are because of changing societal customs, unusually intense pressures when families split, and an erosion of confidence in all our modern institutions. Just like a common reason young men will join deadly violent gangs, people today may decide to try satanism because of extreme loneliness: They feel no one cares about them, so they are excited to be wanted by anyone, even satanists. The devil and his minions try to steer every human toward sin and death. Praise God that we Christians are indwelled with the Holy Spirit—He stomps demons. Like a fatherless boy or girl joining a gang to have a “family,” a desperate recruit to satanism often joins because it’s at least a group that will accept him or her. As mentioned earlier, other converts to satanism do so for
the mysticism: "The influence of Eastern religions in America and continued
emphasis [on] psychic phenomenon and mind-expanding drugs [a huge
part of the occult,] have turned many to the mystical approach to life."; Besides being attracted to magic and other mystic-spiritual teachings, today’s youth also find satanism through a music industry that has saturated our culture with occultism for decades, glorifying Lucifer through satanic lyrics that echo in young minds long after hearing the captivating tunes. Also prevalent with kids are fantasy, role-playing video games, something many adults also obsess over these days. Through those sorts of entertainments, as well as television and movies, our kids are constantly taught that satanism is cool, and can be a great way to gain the power often desperately sought by children and teenagers. Again, home breakups—the decline of intact, American families—are also to blame for easier recruiting by the occult: "The traditional family of dad, mom, and a child or two is getting harder to find. Only 11% of all US households [fit] this description." This means 89% of American households do not have
both parents married to each other and living with the children—that’s messed
up! One satanist admitted that his family situation contributed to him joining
satanism: "If I had a close family relationship, I might not have gotten
into satanism. There was an absence, and Satan filled that." | image tagged in satanism,devil,evil,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5zhxj4.jpg)
![WHY WOULD ANYONE DECIDE TO WORSHIP SATAN? [1 OF 2] People are drawn to satanism for many reasons, one of which is its mysterious nature. However, those seekers quickly find it a hellish life, as this former devil worshiper warns: "I thought at first I could be a Satanist on just a philosophical level, but I could feel Satan wanted me to go on to a bigger level—to sacrificing bigger animals, then maybe to humans, and then even my life." Satanists have a high suicide rate, and Jesus explains that is because Lucifer is more than the father of lies, he’s also a murderer. So, even for non-satanists, thoughts of suicide come from Lucifer and his demons, as opposed to God who always chooses life. Whether Christian or not, no matter what you may be going through, extreme problems are almost always temporary—so suicide is a permanent solution to a passing issue. But lying Satan wants us to die before you and I can
get saved through Jesus; thus, taking us with him to the Lake of Fire.
Besides satanism’s mystery, another reason today’s young people
get duped to join is because they’re looking for answers in places
where the vast majority of recently generations would not go. America used to have an abundance of biblical Churches, but so many of our modern, supposedly Christian organizations are absolutely messed up; they go along with our world’s changing culture, becoming irrelevant and leaving our youth to look elsewhere for meaning in life. Young people want to the know the truth, but today’s Churches are only giving them self-help seminars—"Learn to be a better you!” God’s houses and shepherds don’t want to go against the world and its media-driven progressive culture, so they endlessly supply fluff meant to build the self-esteem of their congregations. But even that fails from the self-focus that ultimately damages people’s self-image, and deprives them of the joy and peace that comes from doing the Lord’s work, focusing on God and helping others come with us to heaven. Young people easily spot the shakiness of the shallow, self-help messages.
They are sick of it. So, when today’s youth get no substance from the
Church, they search elsewhere, even in the occult. | image tagged in satanism,devil,god,bible,jesus,evil | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5zhwrv.jpg)
![WHAT CONSEQUENCES DO WE SEE FROM 65% OF PROFESSING CHRISTIANS NOT BELIEVING IN SATAN? [3 OF 3] Today's Christian Church mostly ignores the spread of satanism around the world. Worse still, some supposed Christians are even promoting devil worship. Here’s one professing-Christian woman praising a satanist’s faith: "I never thought I'd say this, but your faith, satanism, and what you [are] doing is really amazing. And I want to stand with you because it's one area that my belief system, [Christianity,] I feel is failing me." That’s a person in the Church claiming satanism might work better for her, because she will get more out of it for herself. That reveals the selfish Christianity being promoted in the Church today by Christian
shepherds preaching the self-focused human gospel of “me, myself and I,”; the unholy trinity that flows like a sewage pipe from the number one law of satanism: "Do what you will shall be the whole of the law." It has gotten this bad in the Christian Church because congregations and even pastors are constantly violating the Scriptures, as a result of not reading, teaching, and carrying out God’s instructions for life. Instead, they've been constantly letting in more corrupting leaven, and the Bible says just a little can spoil the whole lump of bread dough. Any amount of evil being let in only leads to more and more. Our modern Church is violating Scripture in so many ways that we must take action, speaking up to counter unbiblical, despicable behaviors.
If we sit quietly by, it won’t be long before these satanists will be
pushing for all of America to hail Satan—I’m not joking. | image tagged in satan,god,bible,jesus,devil,evil | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5zhwh5.jpg)
![WHAT CONSEQUENCE DO WE SEE FROM 65% OF PROFESSING CHRISTIANS NOT BELIEVING IN SATAN? [2 OF 3] Satanism is being promoted to our children in schools across America and around the world. They say, "Hey, you allow Christian clubs and teachings. Why not satanism?” The devil cunningly attacks every pillar of society, having his human helpers get a foot in the door by equating devil worship with faith in God, claiming satanism is just another legitimate religion. From there, because the vast majority of people have no knowledge of the spiritual warfare this world is under—the epic battle of good and evil goes on all around us—society rolls over and allows satanists to have huge platforms for spreading their evil. Satanists recruit through government by asking for the same access Christians have gotten with things like prayer in courtrooms and being allowed to put up Christian
monuments on government property, often the Ten Commandments. Satanists work at being able to display their symbols in public areas. Devil worshipers are in both our political parties, but Democrat leadership seems to be more widely onboard with the promotion of satanic principles. Even our US military has satanic groups; again, their justification is that the Armed Forces allow Christian chaplains. Hey, why not let Lucifer’s followers lead soldiers toward evil? Unfortunately, there are enough sympathetic politicians—many put in office through fraudulent elections—that the luciferian cause is allowed to march forward. Satanists are even making inroads into the Christian holiday traditions, pointing out that society allows Christian displays, so satanists should be able to
put theirs up. And that's exactly what they're doing, while
Churches are just rolling over and playing dead. | image tagged in satanism,devil,evil,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5zhw9o.jpg)
![WHAT CONSEQUENCES DO WE SEE FROM 65% OF PROFESSING CHRISTIANS NOT BELIEVING IN SATAN? [1 OF 3] Disbelief in a literal devil is so widely accepted in our world today that even 65% of the Christian Church wrongly agree there is no Satan—just what the Enemy wants. Imagine the even higher percentage in secular society. But those Christians can’t be reading their Bibles, because fallen-angel Lucifer is talked about all throughout Scripture, at the beginning in Genesis when he corrupts God’s first man and woman, and then all the way to the end when Revelation prophecies how Lucifer will corrupt the entire world, except for the new post-Rapture Christians. Why does the Bible warn so much about Satan? Because God is giving us a heads up, so we don't have to learn things the hard way. The wonderful truth for
Christians dealing with Satan and his demons is that Jesus Christ has
already given us total victory over the despicable tactics of the devil. With any dastardly deeds we Christians might come across, the power of Jesus allows us to command the compliance of evil entities to stop and flee. Satan's human helpers are not just hiding in their houses; all around our planet, everyday, they carry out satanic behavior. Why? Jesus makes it clear that Christians are of their Father God, but everyone who does not yet believe in Christ is a child of the devil, so even the average unsaved-person’s conduct will often reflect that nature. Then there are evil humans who have consciously decided to do Satan’s bidding as a way to receive power. And many of those people who
believe Lucifer should lead the world are out in society actively promoting
their beliefs. In fact, today satanists are even demanding we
accept their devil worship, and are on record admitting that
their goal is to replace Christianity with satanism. | image tagged in satanism,devil,evil,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5zhvzv.jpg)
![WHAT IS THE TAOIST (OR, DAOIST) BRANCH OF BUDDHISM ALL ABOUT? [6 of 6] In God’s creation, there is no Taoist-type balance between good and evil. First Peter 5:8 says the devil is like a lion that wonders around roaring. And Colossians 2:15 explains that Jesus whooped lion-like Lucifer when Christ died on the cross to glorify God and save all creation. One of my seminary instructors gave a perfect, biblical description of modern-day Satan, since he was wrecked by Jesus: He said, though the devil can still cause serious harm on earth, he is a defanged lion; Christ easily crushed his claim on our world. So, for today’s Christians, Lucifer is like a starving, declawed, toothless lion, dragging around his emaciated little body, trying to frighten people into doing what he says, but only managing to loudly smack his gums.
What reaction would you have if you saw that coming at you? Would you run, or would you tell that rat-headed liar to scram. Non-Christians face the same old lethal devil, but we who have the authority of Christ’s name wield His power over all evil. Bringing that back to the teachings of Taoism, a Christian’s wonderful life and amazing eternal future—spent with the Creator of the universe—is not what Taoists have; instead, their yin-and-yang mentality (“the force” in Star Wars) has them equating evil with God—which is ludicrous. Still, unfortunate people around the world (now including vast numbers of Westerners and even Christians) have accepted the Buddhist, Taoist, Star Wars mindset. Today, all those people are living a life of running scared, even though God has assured us of these facts: "I am God. Beside me, there is no other,” and “Greater is He [the Holy Spirit, or Spirit of Christ] that is in you [Christians]
than he [the evil spirit of the Antichrist] that is in this world.”
Praise God that we Christians never need to run scared! | image tagged in taoism,daoism,buddhism,god,devil,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5ynhrn.jpg)
