This video and the comments posted underneath are heartbreaking. These poor souls don't realize that they are both deceiving themselves and being actively deceived by the devil.
What people don't realize is that we are also truly *children* of God in the sense that we are naturally naive and easily manipulated, just like literal children are. This is why the Word of God emphasizes that we need to trust in our Heavenly Father and not lean on our own understanding.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6, MEV)
"Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your body, and strength to your bones." (Proverbs 3:7-8, MEV)
"There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death." (Proverbs 14:12, NKJV)
It's not just that we lack the wisdom and understanding to know better, but because of our fallen state we are naturally prone to commit evil. I and many others can attest that the devil is real and he's evil beyond human comprehension. It is his goal to deceive you and tempt you to commit all sorts of sins so that you stand condemned. Believing in Jesus and accepting Him as your Lord and Savior will help give you a blessed life while on earth on top of eternal life in Heaven. Please open your heart to Him. It's never too late to change your life around and love your Heavenly Father. He is waiting for you with open arms.

"If you confess with your mouth, โJesus is Lord,โ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation." (Romans 10:9-10, HCSB)
>The skies over Wayrest are stormy and changeable, more often gray than blue, but some mornings in Second Seed the sun rises into heavens blue and clear, and a mild, warm breeze blows in from the Iliac Bay. It was on just such a morning, under trees fragrant with blossoms, that I was welcoming several new novices to their vocation in the House of Dibella.
>They were full of questions, as the young always are. "Holy Sibyl," asked a young oyster-catcher from Aldcroft, "is love truly the answer to every question?"
>"It isโif the question addresses the heart," said I. "Rarely if it addresses the mind."
>"Holy Sibyl?" asked the shy engraver from Alcaire. "Is it true we must dance for the worshipers while โฆ unclad?"
>I smiled. "That is as your spirit shall willโand as the weather shall allow!"
"I have one, Holy Sibyl," said the clever child of a Wayrest banker. "If the Aedra sacrificed themselves, each to add something to the making of the world, what did Our Lady contribute to the world?"
>In reply, I scooped a double handful of fallen blossoms from the sward and rained them over his astonished brow.
>"I am troubled, Holy Sibyl," said the hostler from Northpoint, "for I know not who is my father."
>"That is naught to the Goddess of Beauty," I gently replied, "for she says, 'No matter the seed, if the shoot is nurtured with love, will not the flower be beautiful?'"
>"What if a congregant seeks me as ardor-partner," said the knight's scion of Evermore, "but I find her without favor?"
>"Love whomever you may," I sang, "but love coerced is not love at all."
Unfortunately it's become all too typical for troubled souls to reply to my threads with off-topic nonsense, or otherwise falsehoods. I pray that whoever needs to be led to the truth of the gospel the most is given the inspiration that they need.

>>40569094 (OP)The real "Satanists" are those, like yourself, who promote dualistic habits of thought. I rebuke thee.
>>40569169Why do you reject the God of Love and His righteous ways?
You're just giving yourself an excuse to sin however you want and as much as you want, telling yourself that you're somehow being "non-dualistic" and that that's a good thing. I will pray for you.
This is a wonderful example of how God will give you a sign when you need it so that you're led to Him.

"That book was not there by accident!
I had been wanting a King James version of the bible for some time, and I found one in a trash can at work while doing my due diligence, and it was being untouched by any actually filthy garbage!
There are no accidents! God is with us!!"
"In my 50 years as a Christian, I agree with you there are no coincidences, and God is a miracle working God"
"Amen! God is calling his children home!"
>>40569190You're a troll, a sower of contention, a Pharisee aligned with the Synagogue of Satan. All you are doing is pushing people away from the truth of Christ.
The child in this video is very lost. I pray that God has mercy on her and gives her the signs and blessings that she needs in order to turn to Him. No doubt like all of us, she needs His love so that she can feel whole.

"The irony here is that all the principles of the Church of Satan revolve around worshiping the human being. They don't have a problem with worship. The problem is who is being worshipped."
"God does not need or require us to worship him we choose to worship him out of love devotion and reverence for him"
"God doesn't need to be worshipped!! The worship comes from His children that love Him!!"
>>40569297That's a baseless accusation. I assume you believe in a false christ who doesn't condemn evildoers? It doesn't make sense otherwise why you would be saying that.
Feel free to share who you believe Christ is. But please understand that Jesus isn't whoever us sinful humans choose for Him to be.
"If we say, โWe have no sin,โ we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say, โWe donโt have any sin,โ we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us." (1 John 1:8-10, HCSB)
>>40569094 (OP)>What people don't realize is that we are also truly *children* of God in the sense that we are naturally naive and easily manipulated, just like literal children are.Speak for yourself. I am a "child of God" in the sense that I possess a theomorphic nature and am endowed with the highest faculties of contemplation and understanding.

"A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; **she must be quiet**. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearingโif they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety."
1 Timothy 2:11-15
>>40569392my tinder dates love it when i quote that
>>40569371My friend, you are suffering from pride.
Several verses in the Bible speak about the dangers of pride and the blessings of humility. Proverbs 16:18 states, "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall," highlighting the negative consequences of pride. Another verse, Proverbs 11:2, contrasts pride with humility, saying, "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom". James 4:6 also speaks to God's view of pride, noting that "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble".
>>40569392You are wickedly trying to use scripture to silence any women from speaking the truth and sharing their testimony of Jesus saving them. The scripture you're quoting isn't even related to the context of the testimonies I've been sharing. God have mercy on you.
>>40569413You are the one suffering from pride, since you appoint yourself a "shield" or a shepherd or what have you, lecturing people from a position of presumed self-superiority. I do not speak from pride but from truth. God made us in his image as his highest creation, and we bear his nature within ourselves. And that nature is to be wise, good, and virtuous. And the Lord made us such because he is strong, good and generous. I am not going to dishonour his gift by pretending to be dumber than I was created.
Ex-satanist gives an emotional testimony of how he was saved by Jesus and blessed with His love.

>>40569413>God have mercy on you.If you were really concerned about God having mercy on me rather than using the phrase as a deniable expression of aggression while you're larping as righteous, I don't think you would feel the need to type it out. God will have mercy on whom he will have mercy, and if you want to provide him with suggestions about someone who might benefit from a little mercy you can do that privately.
