According to that website,
Here are the Seven Fundamental Tenets of Satanism:
- One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
- The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
- One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.
- The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.
- Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.
- People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
- Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
What did Satan do in the garden with Eve? Told her to disobey what God said, do what you will. Those who are evil are also called the sons of disobedience.
Within God’s word, a phrase is often used to describe the state or the way of life of individuals or collective groups, most often from the spiritual viewpoint. Since this is God’s word, we would do well to consider which of these descriptive terms and/or phrases apply to us and, if they are unpleasant or unwelcome, do our best to change that. Let’s consider just a few.
Children of Disobedience. In his letter to the Ephesian brethren, Paul reminded these Gentile Christians that they had all, at one time [before they were converted to Christ], “walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience” (Eph. 2:2, 3). Those “sons of disobedience” were those who lived for themselves, under the sway of the devil, “carrying out the desires of the body and the mind” (v. 3). Simply put, they were living to fulfill the fleshly desires — the very thing our spiritual enemy, the devil, wants us to do, but a life that is at odds with the life God wants us to live.
As long as they [and we] lived for the fleshly pleasures, they/we were disobeying the will of God and could rightly be called “sons of disobedience.” Of course, the one who held us in captivity (cf. 2ndTim. 2:26) convinced us we were really “free” and doing what we wanted, but it was really his will that we were fulfilling — just not God’s will.
Children of Wrath. Paul went on to say that while they lived according to the ways of the world and sought only to fulfill their fleshly pleasures, they identified themselves not only as “sons of disobedience,” but also as “children of wrath, like the rest of mankind” (v. 3). Here’s the description that is not so pleasant to hear, for many men love to live the ungodly, worldly life without thinking about the consequences of such a life. Many love to live as if they will face no consequences and certainly not as if they might be condemned to an eternal hell.
While many live as if these things were true, it is only wishful thinking. Paul reminded the Christians at Rome that they could not live as they were, doing the very things for which they condemned others, and expect to escape the righteous judgment of God. To them, he asked, “Do you suppose, O man — you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself — that you will escape the judgment of God?” (Rom. 2:3); he would then remind them, “But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. He will render to each one according to his works” (vv. 5, 6). As they then lived, these men faced the wrath of God and, as such, were rightly called “children of wrath” because that could be their only expected outcome. They were the product of a life that indulged in fleshly pleasures and sin, and which demanded retribution from God for their transgressions. Every man who lives as one who has not been forgiven of his sins, everyone who does not obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, can expect this because we deserve it. It is only by God’s grace and mercy that He established a way for us to be forgiven and to escape that wrath.
Children of the Flesh. While we might be tempted to think this is simply another way of saying the same thing, Paul used this phrase to describe those who emphasized their fleshly heritage, rather than their true spiritual relationship with God. The Jews loved to tell others that they were children [descendants] of Abraham, but Paul cautioned them, “it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise” (Rom. 9:8); in other words, just because they were fleshly descendants of Abraham did not mean they were going to inherit the blessings of the promises made to him by God — particularly the blessings of forgiveness that came through the seed of Abraham, Jesus Christ.
It is somewhat ironic that we still have the problem today of people trusting their fleshly lineage as some sort of guarantee they are saved. Many, many people come to God’s word and find that what they have believed all their lives and what their parents taught them is not the right way, but then fall back on their fleshly lineage and heritage as the “surety” of salvation, rather than what they read in God’s word! While men may not be appealing to Abraham, they are still appealing to some fleshly relationship as a sign and assurance they are saved, instead of their true spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ.
Let us be reminded that Jesus Himself said plainly, “Whoever loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me” (Matt. 10:37). Sometimes, we are blessed to have had parents who raised us according to God’s will but, sometimes, we have been led astray by those who love us. When it comes down to it, you may have to decide between being a child of your parents, or being a child of God, because they are not always the same thing.
