I don't get how you can have an "evil" game with no "direct" influence from Satan. (oxymoron?)

Should Schools Celebrate a Illegitimate and Fradulent Holiday called Valentine's Day.

I am asking this since we are being forced to PC the CHRISTMAS and EASTER HOLIDAYS and now call them WINTER FESTIVAL and SPRING FESTIVAL.

Plus the Holiday Violates the So-called Separation of Church and State since it is a Pagan Holiday.

No. Angels, yes. No scripture for fairies. I did an on-line Bible search for "Tinkerbell" and came up with 'no matches found.'

Anything that us humans have ever voiced in the history of mankind that satan can use to try to deceive someone can most certainly exist in some form or another.

I believe that fairies do exist for some people because that is what satan's little demon buddy is looking like for them. Others of us may see the same little demon buddy as a leprechan (sp??), ghost, or anything else that our minds have imagined and our tongue has spewed forth for the hearing.

I believe there are very few true 'satanists' in the world.
Don't get me wrong... most of the world follows satan.. but they do it in the name of allah, or buddah, or athiesm, or 'goddess earth', or materialism.

Its true most who follow Satan dont call him that...new Agers, witches etc....but I do believe there ARE organized groups more then people know. Yes there was some hysteria some years ago but you cant go the other way and deny these people exsist totally.

Whoa!
I can definitely see this happening:
--Satan tried (and is trying, albeit not worldwide...yet) persecution of the church, and the church only grew.
--Satan tried mixing Babylonian mysticism (sp?) and paganism with Christianity when Constantine converted. It worked for twelve centuries, until the Reformation.
--Satan is trying rationalism, atheism, communism, cynicism, Islam, etc., to minimize the effect of the church in modern society (letting "wise men scoff"). It's been working for the past half century.
--Satan is reviving his mixing of Christianity with other stuff, only infiltrating it now with ecunumicalism and New Age stuff (Mary-worshipers, National Council of Churches, Universalism, even Benny Hinn, etc.). So far, it's been working for the past half century.
--Now, it would appear as though Satan is physically infiltrating churches with Satanists and New Agers, with the attempt to bring us down financially. Make them appear like they're Christians, then do a scandal, get 'em in trouble, and mess up the entire Body.

I definitely pray that Christians will be able to discern the sheep from the wolves.

I had a friend who was in an organized satanic cult.

She got saved the one day, moved to another city anonymously, and one day one of the group members came to the bookstore she worked at, and told her, the master wanted her back.

This was before the internet or any of those kind of things, and she hadn't even told her family where she was.

We had a special unit back home in the police force, that dealt with satanic ritual murder. The colonel was a Christian, and would often go around the country, to various churches warning them of this very thing.

Satanism is very real, folks, and is everywhere. And while teenagers are frequently inducted into the lastest "groups", there is a much deeper level involvement by committed followers.
Can they get into our churches? Inside the walls of our buildings, yes, and they are already there. In fact, I was present in a church a few years back when a woman on the back got up and began dancing. This was not a worshipful experience - it was a demonic summonsing. She was placing a curse on the pastor (as he himself later confirmed). This was in NC.

So your saying that God is just made up in the human mind? Wrong. God talks about this in James. If you doubt when you ask, your as unsteady as a wave on the sea being driven by the wind. Also, how can God do what you asked Him when you don't belive your going to recive what you asked for?
Sounds like your brainwashed into belive God isn't real and you don't want anyone to tell you otherwise.

Because there is no other God's but the God of Heaven and Jesus Christ, His Son. Ok, answer this: When you pray MagnaGei, do you get a answer from your god(s)? I do when I pray to my God in the name of Jesus.

Aw come on, moderator, I don't even know what a "jumped up wanker" is. I heard somebody use it and it really struck me funny, I thought I would try it on Galiel, since he is leaving anyway. I think it is somthing people in England say. I tried using that expression on my dog but got no reaction.

[<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible?language=english&version=NIV&passage=judges+11%3A29-40">Human sacrifice</a> in the Bible?]

Judges 11:31
"Then whatever or whoever comes forth from the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the Ammonites, it shall be the Lord's, and I will offer it or him up as a burnt offering."

Judges 11:34-36
"When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, who should come out to meet him but his daughter, dancing to the sound of tambourines! She was an only child. Except for her he had neither son nor daughter. When he saw her, he tore his clothes and cried, 'Oh! My daughter! You have made me miserable and wretched, because I have made a vow to the LORD that I cannot break.'" ------------------

"Ah, WinAce, I suppose you've already made up your mind to ignore everything anyone says? Good for you. Now, on with the answering...and the laughing.

While Jephthah states that he will sacrifice his daughter as a burnt offering, there's no real indication that he does. The later verses [like "At the end of two months she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed. She never mated with a man...."] just don't support this (and considering the Bible usually states these things in vivid detail...). In fact, the later verses would tend to support the view that the girl was to remain a virgin.

Why else would she bewail her virginity? Why else would she be so very sad about not being married? You all might want to keep in mind, as well, that Leviticus 22:18-19 only allows male cattle (or whatever other animal) to be sacrificed as a burnt offering. The far more likely conclusion to this tale (and the sacrifice) was his daughter's virginity being permanent (making him none too happy since he'd have no male heir).

Just to make sure I've gotten my point across, I should probably mention again that the text never states that his (Jephthah's) daughter dies. All we have is a girl bewailing her virginity and the text only stating that "she was a virgin". Now you may proceed to dismiss this with high and mighty sounding words.

They can believe in evolution and still be a Christian, but that goes to show that they are: 1) In need of taking the Scriptures more seriously; and 2) In need of taking science more seriously (especially the laws of thermodynamics). Evolution is a philosophy and it is a religion, it is far from being a science. After all, it is the "theory" of evolution.

Which do you take more seriously, the Bible, or "science" ? If you question the creation, do you also question the Garden of Eden, the Flood, the Tower of Babel ? Do you believe Balaam's ass spoke, with a man's voice ? Do you believe the "Fourth man in the Fire" story in Daniel ?

Even the originators of the "theory/hypothesis" of evolution come to a point where they must admit that their belief in evolution is simply because they do not want to bow down before the great Creator of the universe and own Him as their Master. That would be an admission of subservience and a logical outcome would be if Christ/God is my master, then I must obey His commandments--which the natural or unsaved man is unwilling to do. Thus the theory of evolution was devised as an alternative to belief in God Almighty.

Yes, animals were not carnivorous before Adam and Eve sinned (Gen. 1:30). As for Dr. Hovind, I am not saying that I agree with him all the time, but hey, there is $250,000 for the taking with proof of evolution! Besides, if we want to call people extremists and such, well, I would have to say that those comprising the clear teaching of Scripture with absolutely no good reason rather extreme.

Sham, you say that god killed the fist born in Egypt. Well yes that is very true. Moses went into Egypt and warned the Pharoah over and over and over again, let my people go or else. So just like you, I will say to you, turn to God or else. But if you do not turn to God, and then he punishes you, whos fault is that.

God isn't trying to scare anybody. He doesn't have to. He just kills everybody who doesn't agree with Him. When Our Lady and the Saints try to warn people, they are not trying to scare anybody — they are just trying to warn people. But me? I don't care. So I'm just trying to scare you. But God? Just as soon kill you as look at you. He's way beyond caring what people think. Do you care what ants and roaches think?

Now, there is a philosophy of Law that asserts that extremely harsh punishments enforce themselves. For instance, every where in the World now car theft is treated as almost a slight misdemeanor, and everywhere in the World now car theft and stolen car parts are huge illicit industries. But what if you were to specify the most elaborate and torturous deaths for anyone convicted of car theft? You wouldn't need any police. No one would dare steal a car. Like in Malaysia, when they made Drug Trafficking a capital crime, they cut their drug enforcement departments in half, because they knew drug traffickers would avoid Malaysia. In short. If a society wishes to discourage certain behaviors, publishing an extremely stern punishment is a tried and true method of deterrence.
