Thanks for the link. Amazing that a so-called Christian site like that above can be so deceived as to partake in occult feasts and even post the devil's horns handsign on their website. Amazing that such deception can still exist when there is so much information available. Surely they will be without excuse for their sin and blasphemy. The children of Israel in the Bible were deceived into worshipping Baal, Molech and other false gods. Those false gods are still worshipped today through various feasts adopted by the Christian church today. Yeshua said, "Ye know not what you worship." That applies today.
It is amazing too that an atheist, Sir Francis Dashwood, sees the hypocrisy and warns the Church but they will not hear.
The whole world should have taken note on November 1 when the headline read "Quake Kills 23 in Central Italy" and we saw the biblical number of death posted yet again. It cannot have been a coincidence that Jezebel's children died celebrating a satanic feast. Judgment starts at the house of G~d but doesn't end there. Those who believe must do so in a manner that reflects what G~d says rather than what the world says.
SAN GIULIANO DI PUGLIA, Italy –– An earthquake jolted south-central Italy on Thursday, sending a nursery school roof crashing down on a class of preschoolers during a lunchtime Halloween party. At least 23 people were killed, nearly all of them children at the school, firefighters said. ...Ro 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Re 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel [see post #20], which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
Lu 13:3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
[repeated for emphasis]
Lu 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Re 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Re 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Just because someone is a Christian or a person who uses the basis of belief as a means to form an argument, I will not dismiss their argument as false if it is in a valid form of propositional and/or categorical logic. I will also not accept an argument as true based on a false interpretation of a body of literature (like the Bible). I have read the Bible.
It is also helpful to have an ability to read.
Secondly, 'fantasy is the medium of infinitization.' This idea comes from a Christian philosopher (Kierkegaard) who was the progenitor of existentialism in the West. Hobbes had similar observations: "...these are the images which are originally and most properly called ideas and idols, ..."
Funny, most existentialists unknowingly espouse a philosophy of Christian origin. Fantasy is also a form of idolatry. Think of the many idolatries of modern society, there are a myriad of them.
With all that said, there is more for you and others to learn. I have read a lot of books. I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but do like to share my opinions/observations. I am particularly interested in secular drama and the idolatries involved there. Think of television as a religion or a revival of Plato's Cave Allegory. I am also wondering what you think of this thread: Ethereal Explorations
