![WHY SHOULD CHRISTIANS STUDY THE OCCULT, WITCHCRAFT, AND SATANISM?
[1 of 2] So many times in the Bible, God tells us to stay away from the occult practices that are glamorized by Hollywood and ignored by most in the Church, including those who go online to comment that we Christians don't need to learn about such evil. But that advocates burying our heads in the sand, which helps no one and only facilitates the continued demonic consequences for unsuspecting men, women, and children. Warnings against occult practices like witchcraft are all over the Bible because they are ABHORRENT to God. The reality of where it leads, to evils like demon connections and human sacrifice, should be disturbing and serious enough for Christians, that it prompts us to deal with it in a biblical way. As vile as the information is, at least we will have been biblically trained on how to deal with this evil. | image tagged in satanism,occult,witchcraft,god,bible,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4ejway.jpg)
![WHY DID GOD CREATE HELL? Here’s what one guy says: "Think for a moment of what the devil has done. If you could design a place to make him pay for what he's done in your life and the lives around you throughout all of human history, what kind of a place would you design for him? Well, God has designed such a place. It's called hell. Hell was originally designed by God to make the devil pay for bringing evil and rebellion into His creation [Matthew 25:41.] It was a place where God's anger, His rage, and His wrath, would go uncut, unbridled, and uncensored. It was designed with the devil in mind; not for people. But hell does not discriminate between a person and a demon. It's like a wood chipper that you throw big logs and branches into. It grinds them up into a mulch. That's what hell is. It's God's divine wood chipper. Nobody cringes when they see a log roundup. But imagine if someone grabbed a log and as they threw it into the chipper, a piece of the limb grabbed their pants and started to pull them in. What would you do? Would you not grab them? Would you not pull on them? Would you not scream, 'Turn it off! Turn the machine off!' Why? It's because the chipper wasn't designed for grinding humans but the chipper doesn't care if it's a human or a log or a rock or a stone. It's designed to crush. And so it is with Hell. It doesn't care if it's a demon or a human. It's designed to crush and destroy and to heep pain and suffering and agony on rebellious angels, including Satan who dared to rebel against God. There is no escape. There's no turning back. They are doomed and so it is with anyone who has the audacity to rebel against God;
human or devil. The divine wood chipper is there to suck them in." | image tagged in hell,heaven,eternity,god,life,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4lwqns.jpg)
![WITNESSING TO THOSE CAUGHT IN "NEW AGE"
As with any witnessing, get equipped by learning about New Age at GetALifeMedia.com. And then, don’t try to win a debate; instead, love them to Jesus.
It’s a spiritual battle so pray God's Spirit removes the scales from their eyes and the hardness from their heart.
Keep it simple; always avoid Christianeez jargon like, "washed in the blood, glorified, sanctified, justified, or deep fried."
Points to focus on: Our source of authority is the Bible; what is theirs? What about the nature of God, the personal work of Jesus, the nature of man, and the means of salvation. Specifics for New Agers:
Focus on the fact that God is personal and they can have an intimate loving beautiful relationship with God, Who is the one and only God and the Creator of the Universe.
They basically believe Hinduism that says there is a "force." New Age also has some Buddhism, which is more atheistic, with humans ending life as nothing. But the great news is that's wrong, God is real, He's a personal relationship God, and they can have that with Him.
Emphasize relationship because they don't have it. To them it's just the great unknown. Jesus Christ is unique and not one of their avatars. New Agers say Jesus is just like other great teachers.
No, He's not. He is absolutely unique and fully God, as well as fully man. Buddha, Muhammad, and the great confused one [Confucius], did not die for them. Jesus did! So He is radically different! | image tagged in new age,hinduism,buddhism,bible,jesus,god | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/3hvuds.jpg)
![ARE CHRISTIANS TO BLAME FOR THE CRUSADES AND THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS? [2 of 3] The people convicting witches and carrying out death sentences made two mistakes. First, the witches were tried in court during this Christian Age ruled by our New Testament, a New Covenant of grace. Those meting out the punishment for the convicted witches were applying the Old Testament standard that has not been applicable for this past two thousand years of the Christian Church Age. Persecutors of witches during that time of unchristian sentencing in the courts were jumping back to Old Testament directives like those in Exodus 22 and Leviticus 20:"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live,” and "A man or woman that hath a familiar spirit [demon,] or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.”; So, the people in that day cited Bible verses like those as the reason to give the death penalty to some of the convicted witches. But, if that were the true way to handle it, then why does Acts 19 show Paul not doing the same when he was ministering to Ephesus with new Christians that had been witches and other occultists? Those people burned their expensive witchcraft books and confessed their sinful deeds. Instead of stoning them as required in the Old Testament, Paul welcomed them when they confessed and repented of their sins. Why? Because today and throughout the New Covenant under the New Testament, we don't kill witches. Like Jesus would, we witness to them. That does not mean we
condone occult behavior but we do want to witness to them. | image tagged in witch trials,witch,salem,god,bible,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4qj6e1.jpg)
![WHY IS WICCA WITCHCRAFT MASSIVELY INCREASING?
[2 or 3] While secular society is heavily promoting every aspect of witchcraft and other occult practices, the Church remains silent, allowing it to rise quickly. God called this out 2000 years ago with Paul's excellent instructions for young Pastor Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:1-5:"In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the word..." Is Paul telling Timothy to pick and choose whatever he’d like from God's Word? No! And besides chopping out prophecy, Churches today have also stopped talking about sin, hell, and repentance. Pretty soon the only topics left have to do with the biblical table of weights and measures. Is that what Paul is suggesting young Timothy should preach about? No! Paul said to preach the Word, which means all of it and not just what people might like! Paul continues:"Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage..." According to that, it looks like two thirds of the time should be correcting and rebuking. The people should be squirming in their seats as they are corrected and rebuked by God's Word in the Bible. If you're at a Church where you never feel corrected or rebuked, someone is not teaching the Bible. Think about that. In quoting from the Bible, if all you ever get is encouraged, someone is skipping two thirds of the Scripture and that's not a faithful preacher, teacher, Sunday school helper, or whoever it is. | image tagged in wicca,witchcraft,occult,christian,bible,god | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4qnez5.jpg)
