Satanic Group to Lead Prayer Phoenix City Council

[Sword of the Lord]

I did read what you said. You want Christians to put their religion in a box and stick it on the shelf and only pull it out when it's convenient and politically correct.

Pretty much. We will know them by their fruits. We can choose to be the wicked servant that took his masters money and buried it or the good servants who multiplied it.

I just posted something in a different thread today that summarizes my view of the present state of the world. So rather than typing it all again, I'll just quote what I said.

I agree the morals of society have gone down hill but I still find it hard to believe that a Satanic worshiping cult is going to take over the world.

There are way to many Catholics

 

[AHH who-stole-my-name]

well. I don't know what an invocation is, but they surly got the response I think they are looking for. They've certainly have taken away you guy's peace.

Not at all. I have peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ and greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world.

But it is an interesting story I think that merits our attention and discussion. We do need to be aware of our enemy and his devices.

You are missing the point. Abortion is satanic, so-called "same-sex marriage" and "doctor assisted suicide" are satanic. ISIS is satanic. And this satanic cult is another sign, especially that they are being endorsed by the state.

So itbhas come to this. We lived in a depraved society.

This is what Political Correctness has gotten us. I would stand and turn my back if I were there. My what has our country turned into! I would hate to be in such a room with such insanity being allowed.

I'd loudly pray the Lord's Prayer. Don't like it? Oh well. Wanna kick me out? Don't care. To hell with satanism (literally).

Is it any surprise that this is a godless world that is out to include as much as possible to feel good about themselves. They look to a society that is drowning in instant gratification of self interest which is about as hedonistic as possible and this is news?
These people's juvinile attempts at being recognized would not be as fulfilling unless those who are religiously opposed to them grant them the free publicity by acknowledging them as anything other than themselves.

They aren't being "endorsed" by the state they are being "allowed" to pray.

Yes, there are satanic things that go on in the world but to say that a satanic cult is going to take over our country is a whole different thing.

Christianity has been a part of our government since it's foundation.

I don't see where those passages speak concerning Satanism. You do know who the LCMS considers the man of sin to be don't you?

Matthew 24:10-12 “And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.”

I don't see where those passages speak concerning Satanism. You do know who the LCMS considers the man of sin to be don't you?

The Book of Revelation speaks about the dragon set loose on Christ followers in the end times. The word also speaks of scoffers and lovers of oneself.

The whole book of Revelations speaks on how the dragon-satan knowing his days are short and how evil and violence against the Saints will reach a fevered Pitch.

The word is very clear that either we follow Christ or we follow the great deceiver.

It is easy to extrapolate frommreading the word that there will be a rise in those who choose to follow satan.

Not really interested though in who the LCMS consider the man of sin to be.

But does that mean that a Satanic cult will rule the world?

No we just don't want the 10,000th person who thinks they are clever and have unique insight into the word of God and attempting to teach us Catholics said insight.

Jesus preached what people didn't want to hear and was hated for it.

Amen. The world wants to hear the self centered sales pitch of the Satanism, not the self sacrifice of Jesus.

I consider that to be the same as an endorsement. This thing would not have been imaginable to people just 20 years ago. So the point again is how the culture and the government now openly accept Satan.

No one said satanic cult. We said satan. Bob Dylan wrote the lyrics "your going to have to serve somebody. It may be the devil, it mabe the Lord, but your going to serve somebody"

If your a satanist, your following satan. If your an abortionist your following satan. If your a murderer your following satan.

Look around you, there is violence and murder , lack of morals, sexual promiscuity. This is following satan.

There is a definite increase of immorality . A group of simpletons calling themselves satanist is just another example.

They think all religions as wackjobs and don't want to offend anyone. That's hardly accepting anything.

By letting it in and giving it their permission they accepted it.

we are the only one's who acknowledge there is a difference, is what I'm saying. To them they are just another group who claim to believe in a quote/unquote mystical being.

St. Paul said there'd be a strong delusion. People are denying that the devil is real while letting him run their life.
