Satanism is the Origin of the New Age Occult

[notforgotten]

1 Timothy 4:1. The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

2 Corinthians 11:14. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

"And any teaching or doctrine that is pushed along side Lucifer/Satan should be dropped immediately. This is the enemy of Jesus Christ, who is trying to deceive and lead people into sin and deception before his time is up. Just like he deceived Eve, he baits people with promises of god-hood and ascension, if only they study esoteric knowledge and refuse to obey/follow/seek God. This is the same lie found in the first book of the Bible."

Yeah I can believe that. Pretty scary stuff.

Many decades ago this leader of a Satanic cult in California committed suicide because he believed that he would be granted the right to return at the head of an army of demons. His reappearance has as yet to be seen.

What is the goal-besides to take as many people from God?

Do you think satanic cults would exist if the Bible didn't mention the enemy?

A lot of Old Testament cults were involved in nasty things, and that was before the Bible was even around.

Perhaps not specifically identified as such. However, they would still exist in the form of worshipping false gods. Please note that the worship and sacrifices devoted to such gods are considered to be offered to Satan's demons.

1 Corinthians 10:20 ►
New International Version
No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons.

I've not noticed this happening.

Why did the Bible mention the enemy knowing what some sick people would admire him?

Why did the Bible mention the enemy knowing what some sick people would admire him?

Because mankind deserves an explanation as to why we are in the dying condition that we are in and who are the ones responsible for the whole mess.

John 8:44
New International Version
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

So you think the cults that exist would exist without the mention of the enemy

They would exist but not identically as they exist now. People would worship false gods whom would have been identified with the heavenly bodies such as the sun and moon. Or gods identified with good harvests or catastrophes.

In their efforts to feel in some measure of control of their world people would still have appealed to such imagined gods for assistance. So Satan, though not known as described in the Bible, would still receive worship in that indirect way.


BTW
Satan usually gets worshiped indirectly anyway since most people don't openly acknowledge that they worship Satan.

Why do you think they would still exist?

You are correct.

Scripture says it best;

1 Timothy 4:1. The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

They are being sinfully foolish.

 

[Radrook]

Why do you think they would still exist?

Why wouldn't Satan exist simply because God did not reveal or identify him?

 

[H4wk]

I was watching a couple documentaries on scientology last night. Wow, they would give the north korean govenment a run for their momey in a "who is worse" contest. The satic link was made with the founders having a connection to alister crowley. A very popular satanist you may be familiar with.

I'm talking about cults and people that do crimes.

It would be worse if God did not reveal Himself.

It would be worse if God did not reveal Himself.

Why are the crimes called satanic crimes then?

 

[notforgotten]

Why are the crimes called satanic crimes then?

Because Satan and His demons are real entities.

Would those groups exist?
