Satanism is very misunderstood. The Church of Satan was created in the late 60's and it was an atheistic system. Now the most proactive Satanic church is the Satanic Temple, and they have carried that atheistic philosophy with them. I left Church of Satan because I am not an atheist. I believe in intelligent design. But when I look to Christian churches all I see are false prophets. Mankind's understanding of God is so wrong. I wonder if anyone in this chat room has it right. Because there is a problem in America, spiritually, Theistic Satanism exists. It is 100% reactive to this problem. So, I am presently church director and assist to the High Priest at Church of Leviathan.
Think about what you are sharing. You are not an atheist because you believe in Intelligent Design for the reason you left the Church of Satan, and yet you claim to have the understanding of God. How? Especially when you had come out of the Church of Satan because of an error in the Church of Satan? How can you be sure that you have that understanding of God?
Are you going to stone me to death?
It is unfortunate that there are some christians that do not know Jesus because by His words, we are no longer obligated to kill any one in doing God's service. That means when John Calvin helped put a heretick to death, he did so by not knowing Jesus.
John 16:1These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
Paul gave instructions to the church to excommunicate those that are astray in 1 Corinthians 5th chapter at this link below:
Bible Gateway passage: 1 Corinthians 5 - King James Version
and in 2 Thessalonians 3:1-6,14-15 at the link below, the command to withdraw was to not treat them as the enemy, but to admonish them as brothers.
Bible Gateway passage: 2 Thessalonians 3:1-15 - King James Version
That means that although John Calvin did not know Jesus enough to not kill any one because he was thinking he was doing God's service,
he was still His. Whether or not he came to that knowledge and had repented later on in life, no one knows but God.
As for all christians not having an understanding of God...if you are referring to a full understanding of God.......
1 Corinthians 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
....join the club of loving one another by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and that God had raised Him from the dead to be saved, because Satan has not done anything for you to prove his love for you.
John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Evidence of demonic possession is hardly painting Satan as the "good guy" as he preys on the unwary believers to seduce them to go astray.
Many believers are caught unaware and are believing every spirit coming over them as being of God when the Holy Spirit is already in them as promised at their salvation when they had first believed in the gospel. Many believers today believe this phenomenon separated from salvation is the Holy Spirit bringing that supernatural tongue which is just babbling nonsense whereas the real God's gift of tongues is of another men's lips to speak unto the people, thus not to serve as a prayer language.
1 Timothy 4:1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
2 Corinthians 11:1Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
They are still saved, but are in iniquity, and unless they repent by ceasing to seek to receive the Holy Spirit "again" after a sign for other things besides tongues without interpretation ( as if they can receive the Spirit again apart from salvation for this tongue which is false as per Romans 8:9 ) , they run the risk of being left behind to be received later on after the great tribulation as it will happen to the parable involving five foolish virgins out to the market seeking to be filled.
Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his............
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Feel free to share any thing about supernatural tongues that is happening in Satanism with any evidence; video or otherwise, but I do hope the Father is drawing you unto the Son to call on Him to be saved once Satan starts messing with you bad.
Romans 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.....8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
2 Timothy 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
