  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

So just how do we worship the devil?

Devil worshippers typically do not worship. They are the godhead of their faith, they are supreme, no one else is equal to them. If you are truly interested in learning more, you can always buy the Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey. There are probably a few different factions of satanism, LaVey's is just one of them.

Simple. You worship (give primacy to) the devil every time you do something that is not what God wants. Evil is simply the absence of good, the refusal to do good.

At every moment, a person is either with God or with the devil. The trick is to continually try to stick with God rather than the other guy.

Why do you want to know? Learning about the occult can be a slippery slope that is hard to come back up.
Mainly I'm curious. We have the Bible and other 'religious texts', but not one explicitly from Satan.
If God and Satan are real I think Satan would make a big fuss over himself.

One would think that, wouldn't they? It's a common misconception.

Satan is most successful when he convinces people that he does not exist. Because if he does not exist, then Christianity and many of the other religions are completely baseless.

As somebody who has faced down his minions before, I can assure you that he is very much alive and well.

Satan is more subtle that. Satan's greatest deception is to get us to think he doesn't exist and to not be on guard. Likewise, if Satan revealed himself explicitly, many people would know he was real--and consequently they would be more likely to acknowledge Jesus is real.

Very good point! I hadn't thought of it that way.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, F3 wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, F4 unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Galations 5:
13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." F18 15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, F19 fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, F20 drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Romans 6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

From my travels and what I have heard....its called the necromicon. Remember though, Satan lies and decieves...that book (whatever its called in case I am wrong) may appear to speak of good things to you, but they are not good things...it only plays to your weaknesses to make you think its all good

There is NO such thing as 'the satanic bible' in the sense that Christians would imagine it.

Anton Laveys Satanic Bible contains Antons personnal philosphy.

The Necrominicon is a work of complete fiction that sadly some try to use as a grimoire (grammer) to the occult.:doh:

There isn't a whole lot in LaVeys basic ideals I've ever had a problem with...such as his commandments if they can be called that ect.
but this is Satanism to worship the devil is called that "Devil Worship" and u listen to Venom and other Satanic bands ect LOL :)
God bless
Does listening to Venom or other death metal bands really make a person a satanist?

LaVey's ideals include indulging oneself on anything and everything (feel like having wanton sex with fifty girls? Go right ahead! Don't let Christianity make you feel guilty for it). They also include only helping those who "deserve" to be helped, whatever that means. Not to mention, their worship ceremonies involve sacrifices to Satan/Satan worship.
