Black Mass Again!!!

[Chrystal-J]

But in order to warn them of its dangers, first the people who are considering it need to actually have a Christian background!

We're dealing with a largely secular or agnostic, cynical, skeptical, angry culture that is quite rebellious. Most teenagers have lousy parents in this country. They're fed up with it, too. Many have no direction or live in a world of drugs, "hook-ups" and text-messaging being their holy trinity.

If Christianity is being "sober," and they don't know Christianity anyway, then trying the "black mass" isn't a drug for them. It's just another cool, anti-establishment, tick off the conservatives and traditionalists iconoclastic hijinx for them. It's just silly and playful to them.

We can't warn them until they realize the GOOD guys are Christians!

I was raised mainly around atheists. So, I didn't know about the harm the occult can do to you. Although, I was young when exposed to the occult, it would of been nice if someone had given me the other side of the coin--praying to Jesus for help. I had to battle the after-effects of being exposed to the occult on my own--awful! It is much easier to deal with when you're leaning on/believing in Jesus. Don't assume that just because someone's involved in the occult, that they're doing it because they think it's the greatest thing. They might be doing it blindly and would gladly go toward Jesus if shown the way.

I'm not saying to speak out against them cuz it'll stop the promoters. I'm saying warn uneducated people about this so they don't fall into the trap. I realize there are those seeking this out, but there are also people who naively think Black Masses are harmless. They're the one's who need to warned. It'd be like someone running around saying heroin is great--but, not explaining the over-dose/addiction aspects of it.

I agree with you. People need to be educated about how dangerous Black Mass is. We can say "the world has many awful things, so the Black Mass is not that big a deal." But isn't that "history repeating itself"?

Abortion, adultery, witch craft, cohabitation, wars and many more things that not only exist in our present time but people are totally fine with it, cuz it's been drilled in them since they were just started to talk and walk, maybe before that even. Through movies, books, media, music, etc. soon Satanic religion and practices will be totally fine, and the world won't think of the devil as the bad guy, of evil being evil. People will think, oh Satan is not all that bad, he is just misunderstood, he needs to be accepted for who he is and be loved. Actually there are already children's' and teenage novels that portrays Satan as not so bad a guy, while making God seeming to be the "unjust, revengeful, egocentric, unkind man", this is leading children, especially uneducated about God to start taking the devil's side. This might sound unrealistic to you, but trust me it's real. The sad thing is that even some if not most Christian families are loosing their kids that way. The kids are so excited about the dark side nowadays, thinking that it is "COOL" and "AWESOME". Just like teenagers who are thinking that loosing their virginity is the COOLEST THING EVER!!! And the younger they do it, the more they can brag about it when they are older! Bragging about alcohol, drugs, even theft!!!

So let's sit back and not care about the Satanic Black Mass, it's not effecting us, so why should we care? It would only effect our kids, grandkids and future generations by spreading through the media, books, movies, etc, making going to a Black Mass sounding much "COOLER" than going to a real Mass. Because in the future, Black Mass will be the new norm. Plus there is so much evil in this world, why should this be more important or more evil?

I guess I don't get why you keep down-playing the serious dangers of the Black Mass. All the evil things you keep talking about spring from Satan himself. The Black Mass celebrates that--it's not a game to be taken lightly.

I agree. Satan's goal is to get people to worship him. He even tried to get Jesus to worship him! Satan will erode people's values before he begins his real agenda of fooling people into worshiping him. The Black Mass will be promoted (in the beginning) as a "silly fun" for people interested in something "different". But, it's not. Look at the Ouija Board--it's sold in the toy department as a harmless game! The Black Mass is no harmless, silly, ritual. It conjures up demons at the very least. I can't imagine people thinking that's harmless.
You're right about things being "cool". Look at the TV shows these days, every other one is about werewolves, vampires and now there's one about demons. There's a show called Dominion that has scripture totally twisted. In it, the angel Gabriel is satanic and the "Jesus" character has a girlfriend. I'm sure the producers will say that it's not supposed to be considered a Christian show, but then why make it so similar to Christianity? A lot of people don't understand that true Satan worshipers will do anything to mock God. Since Satan is the "father of lies", they're not going to come right out and tell you what's going on. They're going to lead you blindly into their beliefs, with the hopes you get pulled in completely. And the things that go on with the occult are real. If you've ever been around that kind of thing, it's so dangerous to your mental and spiritual life. I'm still dealing with the after-effects of it and it's been 35 years since I've been blindly around it. (I've been around it since then, but knowing about Jesus has made me able to deal with it. And I was able to spot it and avoid it.) I wish someone had told me how to cope with it way back then instead of just blowing it off as harmless.

Again, I agree with you. Satan's ultimate plan is to worship him directly (not just through sex, greed, etc) and renouncing God. So we need to warn people before they are lost forever, and as Christians we have a responsibility to guid people to our faith, though ultimately it is by God's grace they are saved, still, we are his body on earth and he works through us.

God bless you dear
