All I ask is that you have an open mind and give serious attention to the things I now bring up. Remember an unexamined faith is a worthless faith.
I. The fact that magic does not work.
After all the talk about the "power" that people can get from magic, I have never known a more powerless group of people.
Many of those who use magic are sick all the time. They go through multiple marriages. They have money problems. Their cars get flat tires. They get their share of flus and colds.
Even more seriously, they cannot beat their own drug or sex addiction. They are usually in bondage and totally powerless to change their life for the better.
If magic really worked, they would never be sick. They would win every horse race in town! They would own Wall Street by now! They would be able to maintain a successful marriage.
But the fact is, you waste a lot of money and time on magic and are no better off. In fact, you will end up worse off.
If magic worked, witches would be picking up the winning lottery numbers every week. But the fact is that when the "rubber meets the road" magic simply does not work.
there always crying about money problems just like everyone else is. What use is her magic if it cannot make you rich?
The Lord Jesus Christ has broken the power of magic and has brought life, love and immortality to light through the Gospel. Jesus is Victor!
A magical world view is internally contradictory and hypocritical.
A. To say, "there are no moral absolutes" is to give an absolute.
B. To say, "Do what thou wilt, this is the whole of the law" has been used to justify everything from black magic to human sacrifice. If there are no standards, then on what grounds can they condemn child abuse, Hitler, murder, etc.? They can't.
I helped to move a girl from Philadelphia to Florida to escape her former occult friends. If they really loved her, why did they try to kill her? If she wanted to leave the group, why did they object to her doing what she wilt?
C. To say, "everything is relative" and "there is no evil," and then to turn around and say that Christianity is "evil" is contradictory.
D. To say, "Everyone has the right to believe what they want" and then condemn Christians for what they believe is contra- dictory.
E. To say, "Do what thou wilt" and then tell Christians NOT to do what they wilt is hypocritical.
F. To say, "that it is wrong to judge/condemn others," and then to judge/condemn Christians is contradictory.
IV. A magical view of life does not correspond to reality.
1. No magic is going to make you thin if you do not stop eating. No magic will make you rich if you do not get up and go to work.
2. A magical view of life is a cop out and it breeds irresponsibility . Instead of taking responsibility for their life, those who use magic always blame "bad luck" or claim that someone is using black magic against them.
The truth is that YOU are responsible for the choices you make in life - not magic.
3. They live in constant fear of the powers they draw down. Hence they need the occult protection of the circles, towers, shields, charms, etc.. What a terrible religion of fear!
4. If you depend upon trinkets such as pentagrams to protect you, you do not have any real power. To think that a stupid piece of metal or glass is going to protect you from a demon you summon is absurd.
5. The lust for blood is evil. It has led to horrible crimes. Killing animals and people for their "energy" is wicked as well as criminal.
6. Sex magic is filthy and gross beyond words and involves child abuse, bestiality, sodomy, etc. You will never have a normal satisfying sex life once you debase yourself in sex magic.
7. Magic is for losers. The greatest magicians always end up broke, alone, and miserable. Check to see what happened to people like Crowley. They were all losers.
8. While there is a lot of hate and lust in magic, there is no love. If you leave or reveal the secrets, they will try to kill you.
9. There is no forgiveness, comfort or salvation in magic. It has no Savior or God who loves and cares for you. The occult is lonely, sad, cold and sterile.
10. The Bible says that true power behind the magical arts is satanic. Those who deny this are dupes of the devil.
The Lord Jesus Christ has broken the power of magic and has brought life, love and immortality to light through the Gospel. Jesus is Victor!
The occult has nothing to offer that compares with the love of Jesus. Turn to Him in repentance. Renounce your witchcraft and the works of the devil. Burn your magic books and mash your altars. Turn or burn. Repent or perish! Jesus is the answer.
John 3:36.
not in worship of the one true God, but in defiance. For he symbolizes that antichrist spirit, reassuring mankind to have faith in himself to be his own god and saviour. Cumbey states succinctly enough: " Humanism has a theology and a god, but that god is ourselves and Lucifer..." (Cumbey, p. 150 )
CATHOLICS-ISIS=SEMIRAMEZ-OSIRIS-SETH-TAMMUZ
The Catholic Church adopted the worship of the mother and child, infant baptism, confession to a priest, and many other aspects of the Babylonian Mystery Religion. That's right.
The mystery religion of Egypt contained almost the same events as Christianity as to Osiris being a god. Married his sister Isis, was killed and reborn.
Isis gave birth to
Seth. The Madonna with child is none other than Isis and baby Seth
and even
Semaramis and
Tammuz.
Isis is also known as the "
queen of
heaven" (Jeremiah 44:18}. Images are no more than Satan. They are real. Demonic real. Images of Mary seen around the country and the world are no more than demonic confusion.
Mary cannot save souls. She did not die for our sins. Once birth is given, one is no longer a virgin. Yet they still report seeing a virgin Mary. Even virgin Mary with baby Jesus. Here Jesus never died for our sins cause he's still being seen as a baby.
Blood and more blood running down walls, statues, crosses with so-called Jesus hanging on them streaming gooey blood, windows and doors with images of so-called Jesus on them with blood running down are all demonic.
Real,yet demonic. Satan can show all kind of demonic copies of anything or anybody he want too. This is the occult at it's best.
The central theme of the whole idolatry in Egypt was the violent death of Nimrod or Osiris (the Egyptian god representing Nimrod). As the women of Egypt wept for Osiris and the Phoenicians and Assyrians for Tammuz -
- their name for Nimrod -- so in Greece and Rome the women wept for Bacchus, whose name means "The Bewailed," or "Lamented one." Japan, China, India, Scandinavia, and Ireland each had their "Lamented One," for which they bewailed annually (Hislop, pp. 55-57).
The Bible tells us!
Semiramis or
Isis was the original
fallen woman that the Bible describes in Rev. 17:1-2: "I will show thee . . . the
great whore that sitteth upon many waters (nations): with whom the kings of the earth have committed
fornication,
and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication" (her character in regard to fornication was well known).
In return, the kings in Nimrod's days furthered her self-conceived system of religion -- the religious Mystery system spoken of in Rev. 17:5 -
- the system formed by the fusion of the true teachings of the Eternal God with the teachings of Semiramis concerning her self-conceived religion
. She, the head of this counterfeit of the true Church of God, gave herself sexually to these kings or civil rulers of the earth of her time in order to saddle her own counterfeit system of Satan-inspired religion onto the nations of the earth.
"BABYLON IS FALLEN, IS FALLEN AND HAS BECOME THE RESORT OF DEMONS AND THE HOLD FOR EVERY FOUL SPIRIT AND A CAGE FOR EVERY KIND OF UNCLEAN AND HATEFUL BIRD" - Revelation 18:2
Ralph Shaffer says: "These [creatures] that show up in archeology and what we would call mythology were not just figments of the imagination. They were literal physical entities that appeared to civilizations of the past.
These types of demigods or demonic beings were represented as part human and part animal in their characteristics like the Bird-human of the Assyrians.
Horse-and-human like Centaurs. Or fish-and-human like the god Dagon of the Philistines ... or part jaguar and part human."
THE ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE DOGONS ,The Dogons are a West African tribe who have known about - and venerated - Sirius A and its Twin, the invisible star Sirius B, for the past 5,000 years.
They have also been aware of other scientific fact, such as, the planets circle the sun in elliptical orbits, the four moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn.
They say that approximately 5,000 years ago, Amphibious Gods transported them to Earth in three legged space ships from the Sirius Star System. They call the aliens Nommos. Since then,
the Dogon have been telling the same creation myth claiming that they originated on that distant planet. The Dogans live far to the west of Egypt, next to Guinea.
