from my understanding of satanism, its basically just concern for yourself, that you're better. the reason its called satanism is because the person who came up with it matched this lifestyle with the biblical Satan.
To go to Heaven, you have to believe in Jesus. To go to hell you have to do nothing because Satan already has you. Why would anyone worship someone that only wants you in hell with him someday?
...I'd go for the "best offer"...um mm ? comparison shop !
I like Gods offer best... eternal life after earthly death... but then it's your choice.... you might like eternal darkness and hell and-all...mum ? (Oh ! ...it's no joke).
I've read the satanic bible, and its more an exercise in saying that you should live for fun and your own self, which is very much opposite to the bible but not particularly to worship ping Satan and being evil for evils sake. Most satanists would be better considered as pagans or in modern philosophy objectivity's. The ones who do dress up in black goth make up have rebellion issues and wish to draw attention to themselves.
Hi, I am a Christian;
Satanism is no joke. It's the wrong path, its dangerous, people do not know what they are dealing with, etc etc - but a "joke" it is not.
I am talking about those who truly, and with knowledge, choose to worship Satan.
The original manuscripts are quite clear that Satan has children on this earth today.
They are direct blood descendants. How could this be? Eve's sin in the garden was not eating fruit: she had sexual relations with Satan, and Adam participated. God told Eve He would multiply her conception;
he did: by 2, exactly. She was pregnant with twins. One pregnancy of two separate fathers. Abel was Adams son; but Cain was Satans son. When Eve was in childbirth, your Bible tells you that "Eve bore Cain and Again bare his brother Abel". In the manuscripts, however, the word "again" is actually "continued in labor". When you have a baby and then your labor continues and you have a second baby, what does that mean? Twins. Both boys took their offerings to God at the exact same time, because they both reached the age of accountability at the exact same time: twins.
This is the reason there was so much hate between the two brothers.
When Cain was thrown out of the Garden, a mark was placed on him: the mark of his father, the devil. Ever hear of the "mark of the beast"? This is its beginning, right here in the Garden, on Cain. Cain went off to the town of Nod, where many of the 6Th day creation of all the races were living, and Cain married a woman. Cain had many descendants, called Kenites. Translated, that means "sons of Cain". These Kenites even made it Thur the flood of Noah, and you will find them alive and well, and doing scribe work for the Tribe of Judah, in 1Chronicles 2:55. They called themselves "Jews", but were only Jews by geographical location - because they lived around Judea, so legally by Geo. location they could legally be called jews. These were the ones who yelled "crucify him!", not the true jews, which is short for "Judah".
The Jews have suffered greatly thru the years because of these Kenites. They are the offspring of satan, and they are in the world today. You will find them anywhere that there is a seat of power. Certainly, you will find them in what God calls the four hidden dynasties that they will work through in the end generation: Education, Politics,
Economy, and last but not least, Religion.
Satan loves the pulpit.
This is why it is written that in the end times,
the Spirit of Elijah will come to turn the hearts of the children back to their fathers.
That word "fathers" is plural for a reason:
there are two fathers at play here. We are not all of God the Father. So don't be too surprized at those who blatently worship satan, or who you find constantly mocking and ridiculing God. Their hearts are being turned back to their rightful father, and the deeds of their father, they will do.
Okay, I have personal experience here having dated someone who was a Satanist. Yes, he worshiped Satan. He did this because he believed that the Bible misrepresented Satan. Satan is supposedly the God of free will. Completely ridiculous but that is what he believed at the time. Then he quit reading Anton LeVay and grew up.
Depends on which form of Satanism you believe in. There are the Satanist who believe in Jesus and God but worship Satan.
Then there is a newer form of Satanism which doesn't believe in Christianity. They use the word Satanism to show that they are being the opposite of Christianity.
I thick that knowing all the choices is a better way to make an informed decision, conversation and argument. Read this, it's about the newer Satanism. I include this link not to convert you, I'm not Satanist, but because knowledge is the best tool we can have:
Well, you have a common misunderstanding of Satanism. Most of it's practitioners do not believe Satan exists. Some call it hedonism. Some call it Humanism (and by mainstream religions definition, this is Satanism - but in reality it isn't). Most Satanists I have ever met do not worship anything. Some become Satanists for the very fact that it stands in opposition to the actions of some of the followers of Christianity.
The type of Satanism you are referring to, I have only found in displaced teens, whose parents really don't have anything to do with them. There may be others who are seriously into that type of thing, but I have not met any who go there with it.
first off someone who taught you all this taught you wrong maybe you should read up on Satanism some more. People should have the right to warship whoever and whatever they want whether you personally see it as right or wrong.
I am christian. I dint see it as wrong I just personally see it as another persons beliefs and I think they should be respected. I live with a satanist and she doesn't just worship the devil and hairiness evil and stuff inside her, in fact she doesn't worship the devil at all.
Try to keep an open mind to every religion even if you dint believe in it and maybe try doing some research please.
