Bible Question: This posting is about a dead guy named Joseph Campbell. Many of you may or may not have heard about him. My mother, loves this guy. He's in Hell right now I guarentee you. He embraced "everything" as my mother says. Shes a New Age person or whatever, along with my grandmother, whom my mother lives with. My sister as well loves Joseph Campbell. She is a wicken. All three of these people have something in common. They don't know Christ. I have tried everything, and yes I am still praying for them. My mother's embraced this "New Age" stuff for about 9 years and my grandmother for about 12 or 13. My sister is the one I am really conscerned about. She's only 13 and is already saying to me that basically Satan is comforting her. She has these drawings on her door in which display a hideous creature that has fangs and a sort of upside-down cross right in the middle of the face. The fangs are dripping with blood (I am being this detailed because I need the type of advice I am looking for). There's a girl version of this as well and both, she saids, are going to be used in a science fiction/fantasy book she is going to be writing. She's so vulnerable to Satan and IT JUST PISSES ME OFF WHEN ALL I CAN DO IS JUST SIT BACK AND WATCH HER LIFE GO DOWN THE DRAIN!! I know where she is becasue I have been there. I used to be Satanist. I don't want God to reveal Himself to her in the way that He revealed Himself to me. I just want to see her go to heaven. I don't want to come home one day to find out that my sister died of suicide or something and feel like I could have done somthing else. Is there anything I can do? Please help me. How can I counter attack this Joseph Campbell guy with Gods love, grace and mercy? Is there anyone out there who can give me some advice? |
Bible Answer: Jesusfreak: Regeneration is a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. It is accomplished solely by the power of the Holy Spirit through the instrumentality of the word of God. Therefore, your role in your loved one's spiritual lives is limited to two things: You can be the messenger who brings the message of the gospel of Christ to them. And you can pray for them. But don't take either role lightly. The gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Rom. 1:16), and effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much (James 4:16). ..... While is is probable that your post was written with fervor and under some emotional strain, I still think it appropriate to enjoin you not to use on this Forum such coarse expressions as the one that appears in all caps in your post. Christian ladies and gentlemen and perhaps children read these pages; therefore, let's watch our language! --Hank |
