![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 DID MARK TWAIN SAY ABOUT CHRISTIAN SCIENCE?
Gerald Bergman, PHD, wrote about the time Mark Twain encountered a Christian Science practitioner—and set her straight: “On a vacation Twain fell off a cliff in Austria and ‘broke some arms and legs and one thing or another.’ After being rescued by local peasants, he searched in vain for a doctor. Finally, a Christian Science practitioner was located who was vacationing in the village. Unable to come immediately she sent Twain the message to relax because there was nothing wrong with him, and his feelings of pain were ‘imagined,’ therefore he needed no treatment.
The practitioner, a large middle-aged woman with an austere face,
later came to help Twain deal with his imagined broken bones. When trying to convince Mr. Twain that the pain he was then experiencing didn’t exist, she accidentally raked her hand on a pin in her dress, said “ouch” in pain, then tranquilly went on trying to convince Mr. Twain that pain doesn’t exist. Needless to say, she failed to convince Mr. Twain that his bones did not hurt and there was no such thing as pain. Fortunately, Mr. Twain survived, no doubt because he found someone who was concerned with setting bones instead of selling a dangerous pseudoscientific religious philosophy. Mr. Twain’s
book is written to bring many chuckles, but the religion it discusses
is about the serious business of death. Many tragic deaths
have occurred due to [Mary Baker] Eddy’s teachings.” | image tagged in mark twain,christian science,cult,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5zavih.jpg)
![WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RELIGION OF “CHRISTIAN” “SCIENCE”? [2 of 2] In 1879, founder Mary Baker Eddy whipped up some repackaged paganism, as explained in A.C. Dixon’s 1908 article, The Truth About “Christian Science”: “When Mrs Eddy declares that matter has no existence, she simply echoes the teaching of pagan philosophy. And when she denies the existence of a personal God, saying that God is all in all, in the sense that He is universal principle, she announces what is known in philosophy as Pantheism.” Pantheism is the claim that everything is God, which is completely wrong because God’s creation is no more God than you are the sandwich you made for lunch. Here is more from Dixon: “While [Christian
Science] claims to be progressive, [it] sets a premium on ignorance."; Christian Science counts on followers checking their brains at the door, because the doctrine is full of flimflam jargon that is not meant to make sense—because it doesn't. He goes on: “The microbes which produce cholera, yellow fever and bubonic plague are illusions of mortal mind. The sewers that germinate these microbes are also illusions. Pay no attention to filth or microbes… If the vagaries of “Christian Science” were really accepted and acted out, it would drive the world back into the dark ages and increase the sufferings of humanity a hundred-fold. Blot out all knowledge of sanitation, of anesthetics, of surgical
skill, of the human body, and you have multiplied the pain
which humanity would be compelled to endure.” | image tagged in christian science,mary baker eddy,cult,god,bible,religion | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5z0tkh.jpg)
![WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RELIGION OF “CHRISTIAN” “SCIENCE”? [1 of 2] Do accidents really happen? This quote (from a well-written 1908 article by A.C. Dixon) explains The Truth About “Christian Science”: “The basis of ‘Christian Science’ is the proposition that ‘God is everything and matter has no reality, but is an illusion of mortal mind. Sin, sickness and death have no reality, but are illusions of mortal mind. All evils such as plagues, tornadoes, cyclones, fires, earthquakes and accidents have no reality, but are illusions of mortal mind.’ ” These crazy ideas are the false teachings of Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy, who taught about the supposed “allness” of soul and spirit, and the nothingness of matter. Even today, the religion of Christian Science gets all that wrong because they follow her teachings as their ultimate source of authority, rather than the true Word of God in the Bible. They need to rely on Scripture, rather than Eddy’s false teachings that corrupt biblical truth. And the lies put out by many cults were ultimately given to
them through contact with lying demons. By that, I mean organizations like
the Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, and Seventh Day Adventists. Whenever unfortunate followers of those false faiths get back to the Bible, they start to understand how their corrupt founders and leaders, like Mormonism’s Joseph Smith—from a family of practicing witches—put out false claims that contradict the Bible. Charles Taze Russell and Judge Rutherford, the first two leaders of Jehovah’s Witnesses, produced loads of anti-biblical teachings. Like Christian Science and its double-talking founder Mary Baker Eddy, followers of Seventh Day Adventists are taught to ultimately rely on the unbiblical teachings of Ellen G White. But reading the Bible for ourselves forces us to choose one set of ideas over the other, because the Bible contradicts mankind’s corrupt teachings—both cannot be true. Those cult members who finally get into God’s Word, inevitably find their group lied to them. As Christians, our goal must to get duped followers of false faiths to see their Bibles as the ultimate source of authority, the roadmap for life that truthfully explains the nature of God and man, the understanding that sin is real, and the personal work of Jesus that has saved us
from an eternal penalty in hell, if only we would humble ourselves enough to
accept it. We are all immortal, made in God’s image. Where we go after
this life is our decision—will we accept Christ’s help, or not? | image tagged in christian science,mary baker eddy,cult,religion,god,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5z0swm.jpg)
