Many seem to think that Satanists are simply people that worship Satan voluntarily and practice witchcraft. However, that is wrong. I would like to widen the definition of "Satanist" to all those who do not accept Christ. As Luke 11:23 says, all those who are not with Christ are against Him. By not accepting Christ, one supports Satan, regardless of whether he/she knows it or not. Every rejection of Christ grows Satan stronger.
Jews and Muslims think they oppose Satan, although they are actually supporting him by not following Christ. Members of non-Abrahamic religions and non-religious people lack a belief in Satan, although they are actually supporting him by not following Christ.
Not accepting Christ as the Savior is showing support to Satan, and supporting Satan is what Satanists do.
I for one know what you're trying to get across, and agree with you.
Man cannot serve 2 masters.
If your not FOR God your AGAINST God.
There is no middle ground.
If your life doesn't belong to God, it belongs to something or someone else.
As the Bible says: Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
See my post 38.
Mom and Dad must have left the computer unlocked last night.
So if a couple isloated their child from christianity, would just the parents go to hell, or would their innocent child go to hell as well?
Oh the joy....Kitty on the move! ;)
LOL!
While the post was pretty bad, especially as a “first post” - there is a shred of truth to the statement - though the now-banned poster would have been better served had he at least used some scripture to back up the claim.
John 8 includes an exchange between Christ and some of those “good ‘ol boys” the Pharisees.. all trying to catch him speaking something other than the truth (which they never did, mind you). Later in the exchange, the debate widens - and Christ specifically tells the Pharisees that - because they do not “hear” His testimony, they are of their father, the Devil... The clear line is “drawn in the sand” - you are either For Christ, or you are of the Devil.
So - as the original post was pretty bad - and at most should have been posted under the religion section (and even then... it was so bad that it didn’t really deserve to be there either) - there is a factual point to the post.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death
Romans 14:23 and whatever is not from faith is sin.
Looks like the NT can be pretty harsh to
Demoralized democrats trying to entertain themselves?
You must be thinking about that other religion. The one that stones people to death.
LOLOL!
Thank God He looks at us from the eternal point of view and not as we are now.
Just as one can’t serve two masters, by rejecting the Master, one serves the other. He’s right but I wouldn’t have posted this.
“Jews . . . . think they oppose Satan”
Actually, Judaism rejects pagan dualism.
