  The world Occult means “hidden” or “secret.” It generally is the seeking of mysteries and powers through magical means. Jesus Christ our Lord ]made it clear that He was not an occultist, “Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret.” (John 18:20). There is a heretical sect known as Gnostic Christianity that claims to know secret knowledge, which makes it occult by definition and Jesus clearly rebukes this in the Apocalypse, “But the rest of you in Thyatira have not followed this evil teaching; you have not learned what the others call 'the deep secrets of Satan.' I say to you that I will not put any other burden on you..” (Revelation 2:24). And that is exactly was Occultism is, evil teachings and deep secrets of Satan. In almost all the high occultic traditions and even demonic powers the serpent is a focus. In Egyptian Occult the top powers are Anacon...

  Many scholars and exegetists will claim that Sin came into the world by Man, by Adam. that the codex for Original Sin is Patriarchal, that this explains aggression in man, and why wars happen. This is false, sin did not first come into the world by a man, rather a partnership between The Deceiver Satan and the first Woman Eve:  “You will not surely die,” the serpent told the woman.“For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.  When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it.” (Genesis 3:4-7). It was Eve, not Adam that participated first in this disobedience. She certainly was being Deceived by the Serpent who is Satan, “And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the wh...

  Technology has done many great things for human kind. As Christians we benefit from the breadth of information we can glean from to become more informed in our Faith. At the same time though, Tech like a double edge sword, points an edge at ourselves, and even to God, as it can be used to make war on Kingdom of Heaven in ways that are not as obvious. I have chosen some things that technology has effected spiritually, and will unpack whither this is good or bad.  The Epidural  In the 1970’s a ‘miracle’ was spread that could reduce and even eliminate the pain of child birth. Medical and Science experts were thrilled a tool was given that could calm the mothers giving birth and decrease the chances of harm to the newborn or the mother. However, there is a consequence that    this has had spiritually. In the Garden of Eden, it was Eve that first sinned, who took the forbidden fruit at behest of the Serpent, and then handing it to Adam. God in addition to banishing...

  Skillet, Christian Grunge Metal Rock Band There has been trend for many Christians to adopt the garb of sub cultures such as the Goth, Punk, and other sub cultures. To look like Alice Cooper and Kiss, and something in between to attract people in those communities. This trend I believe parallels the Seeking Friendly Movement, which sought to make churches more appealing to the world with concert like bands, and coffee houses. The problem is that this mutation (latin Mutantar) is not something the apostles did. You do not see the Apostles James, John, Peters, or Even Paul dress up like Children of Darkness to preach the gospel through lifestyle evangelism. No they got up and shared, “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness,righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” (Ephesians 5:8-11...

  I was very skeptical about A Great Awakening movie. I worried it would be the atypical low budget Christian film that would have no heart ans yet have plenty of preaching. How wrong I was. The Great Awakening follows Benjamin Franklin in middle of divisive political tensions that could be the sunset of America after it has barely been born. He seeks solace in memoirs of George Whitefield, a friend and business partner who was a Preacher from England that came to American Colonies. In an iconic scene when Whitefield preaches from a balcony, Franklin verifies that George’s voice could reach 30,000 people! This is actually a true experiment from Franklin and a testament to Whitefield God given voice!  One of Whitefield’s lines is “Awake O Sleeper!” which he says like a drum and then “awake!” Which is from The Scripture, “Awake, O sleeper, andarise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” (Ephensians 5:14). Whitefield makes this a battle ry talking to people as if they are ...

  The internet has become a tool for good and ill. As Christians we can use it to access information that helps us in our faith walk. However, in addition to the benefits is the risks. There is growing trend online where witches and warlocks are using technology to do their spells. One of obvious ways this manifests is in sigils of Satan, pentagrams, and demonic imagery that either flashed subliminally in YouTube videos, or full on rites done on a person they create a bond with. Many are skeptical that magic and crafts can be done over screens, but those same skeptics cannot deny many had to get exorcists after seeing The Exorcist film    () and that movies & music can contain Occultic rites. Why then would the internet be not a tool for this evil? It allows video, art, footage of real rites, and the ability ti embed images with superimposing. In fact, the tools of internet make doing Spellcraft easier, because the symbol can be shared to millions rather than just to ...
