1 | Is santanism real? Spiritual World? | Eph 6:12 | journey_me | 153261 | ||
My mother-n-law says that we have to be careful in not knowing about the spiritual world. She says withcraft and santanism is out there, whether or not we give power to it. Raising of the dead, and calling the spirits are all mention in the bible. I always believed that God is the only power and that if you believe those things exist that you were giving power to them. She says if you are not aware of them, you could be opening your house to those bad spirits. Where in the bible does it talk about these spirits. I have read the new testaments, and I know Jesus talk to the legion of demons, but are they really spirits. When the bibe talks about demons and devils, I always thought they were talking about people and sins, not some spirit. Just because someone practice witchcraft doesn't make it real, right? Any book suggestions. Where in the bible is Lucifer cast out of heaven? Are the link of angels? What does that mean? |

2 | Is santanism real? Spiritual World? | Eph 6:12 | SMO | 153262 | ||
Hello journey, If you read Ephesians 6:12... For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. I'm not entirely sure, but i beleive that witchcraft, satanism, wicca and all that are out there, but they are all governed by the same ruler, who is the devil. They are the devil's schemes, which are there to deceive people who arn't wearing the armor of God. When people get into those cults/religions, they are openly rejecting God altogether, so the devil can do anything he wants with them. However, i don't think these things are any worse than say, Buddhism for example. Because it follows the same principle; that it is there to deceive and mislead people. But yes, demons are real. Just as the angels in heaven are. However, we are given, as sons and daughters of God, authority over these powers of evil, as Jesus Christ promises (mat 10:1). The trickiest thing about the devil is that sometimes he makes these people believe that what they are practicing (such as witchcraft) is actually working... so the blindfold is pulled further over there eyes. So these things technically arn't true, because the devil devised them to be a distraction from God. |
