I didn’t write the byline of the article below. If I had I would not have used the words “cozies up.” I would have used the words OPENLY EMBRACES. There’s a difference. Words are very important how they are used, when and where they are used.

Be aware of where Verizon, Huffington Post and individuals such as Penny Lane truly align and what is the force behind them.

Let us no longer ignore nor be nonchalant or dismissive, or denying — let us be very clear. There are two and only two Supernatural forces at work on this earth.

God our Father and Creator, Jesus Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit — the Triune God, the Godhead of righteousness and all things holy. Unspotted. No evil within Them. This is the Supreme Supernatural force in all the universe and all things.

And then Satan and his fallen angels representing all things unholy, unrighteous and evil. Who has dominion here on earth for a season until the Lord returns to defeat evil once and for all. Make no mistake though — there is mighty power in the devil and his ministers. We cannot take them on alone. Never dare try such a foolish endeavor. We always, always, always need the faith in our Lord and God to overcome and defeat the wiles, the beguiling lies and ways of the Evil One. Do not tread in their darkness and evil. Do not become ensnared, enslaved as those mentioned in the article below and countless billions more.

Let us no longer shrug, ignore, turn a blind eye, a deaf ear and minimize what is and what has been taking place — it is DEMONIC. Not just politics, or culture changes, or this or that being reduced, watered down, excused from what the true force behind all the unholy, unrighteous things that occur and the people behind them — they are demonic. They are not serving God, They are not following God and Jesus Christ. Quite the contrary — they mock, ridicule, spit upon, denigrate and defile all things pertaining to God our Father and Jesus Christ the Lord while they worship Satan.

If that isn’t demonic then what is people? What will it take for people to wake up and smell the evil all about them!?

And do not sit there saying it’s no different than it was 20, 30, 50 years ago, there’s just more media today, more information, blah, blah, blah.

What is taking place daily — the DAILY EROISON, the DAILY RISING AND PROMOTION OF EVIL, the rise of witchcraft, all sorcery, idol worship, satanic activities, calling that which is good evil and that which is evil good did not occur even 10, 20, 30 years ago as it is today.

Shake out of the darkness, shake out of the numbness and see and hear what is taking place daily all around U.S.

Let’s finally call demonic activities and demonic people what they are. No excuses. No euphemisms. No sugar coating everything to make it palatable.

Let’s also prepare. Let’s also pray spiritually for the eternal things of God. Let’s also make sure we are continually attired in the full armour of God in the spiritual war taking place and not asleep, not slumbering, denying, hiding or running away from — because there is nowhere to run away from what is taking place. It goes on all around us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with no let up, no timeouts, no vacations.

Time to call evil what it is. Evil. Of the Evil One, the devil, Satan, that Old Dragon, Lucifer, also known as the angel of light deceiving many just as his ministers do likewise.

My daily verse calendar on my desk reads;

The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

Luke 24:7 — King James Version Holy Scripture

Let that not be for naught, nor lightly thought of.

It also reads at the bottom; GOOD FRIDAY / PASSOVER BEGINS AT SUNDOWN.

Let us know this in our heart and spirit as if we can hear the nails being driven into the Lord’s flesh and as if we have peered into the empty tomb with the large stone pushed aside. Let us pray for increased strength, wisdom, faith and put all our trust in Jesus, our Shepherd, our Saviour, our Captain in this daily struggle.

Do not yield to the growing evil. The growing, open and blatant satanic worship, the open and blatant demonic activities.

Do not fear nor despair.

Turn to, live through Jesus Christ the Lord, fed, nourished, strengthened daily in the meat of the Word of God which will defeat all evil in the end of this world’s history as it has been known.

God is not, will not be mocked.

Evil will be defeated.

Prepare.

Prepare.

Equip yourselves dear ones. The battle is only going to intensify and become worse.

And if you’re a Verizon customer? You like going to Hollywood movies? You turn to places such as the HuffPost? You might want to rethink a few things. Really, it’s time to know who, what, where and when. Because there will be no excuses permitted when bowing before the Lord in judgment. No claim of, “I didn’t know.” No excuses. And we’re all going to be judged.

Very little in this life is truly benign.

Top 20 U.S. Company Cozies Up To Satanism

HuffPost published an interview with Penny Lane concerning her documentary about the Satanic Temple, but it failed to note in the article that many of Lane’s claims about satanism, the Catholic Church and evangelical Christian leaders are doubtful at best.

  • The Verizon-owned outlet published Lane’s claims that theistic satanism is a myth created by the Catholic Church, that Vice President Mike Pence is a theocrat who would like to force Americans to obey the Bible and that satanism is a noble cause opposing the threat of evangelical Christianity in government. 
  • The article failed to distinguish between theistic and nontheistic satanism and to note the recorded historical evidence for theistic satanism and claims the U.S. government has made Christianity the national religion. 

 

HuffPost, a Verizon-owned media outlet, lavished unquestioning praise Thursday on satanism for opposing evangelical Christianity and claimed satanism’s evil reputation was a Catholic myth.

The Thursday HuffPo piece “Satan Is Having A Moment” featured a Q&A with Penny Lane, director of the recently released documentary “Hail Satan?” about the Satanic Temple’s history.

Lane, however, made several dubious claims about satanism that HuffPo published without questioning in the article, including saying that theistic satanism is an imaginary construct of the Catholic Church and that Vice President Mike Pence would like to force Americans to obey a Christian theocracy.

“Satanists, it turns out, are everything you think they’re not: patriotic, charitable, ethical, equality-minded, dedicated to picking up litter with pitchforks on an Arizona highway,” the article reads.

The article claims Lane’s documentary “dispels myths about the history of satanism,” namely that satanism involves actual worship of and sacrifice to Satan, and that it surveys “the myriad ways our government has made Christianity the national religion.”

The piece fails to note, however, that despite Lane’s claim that satanism is an entirely atheistic philosophy, there also exists branches of theistic satanism in which followers do worship Satan or a satanic spiritual entity and engage in occult ritual magic. HuffPo instead allowed Lane’s claim that theistic satanism is an “elaborate fantasy on the part of the Catholic Church” to go unchecked.

“The entire history of satanism is one of projection,” Lane claimed. “Satanic panic is one example. All the way up until 1966, there were no people who called themselves satanists. There literally weren’t any. There was a fear that manifested into an elaborate fantasy on the part of the Catholic Church, mostly, if you want to point a finger somewhere.”

Several scholars, including University of California at Santa Barbara Professor Emeritus Jeffrey Russell and French intellectual and author George Bataille, have contended that historical instances of theistic satanic practice can be found as far back as the 17th century, such as the French murders called the Affair of the Poisons. Theistic satanic practices also persist in current times in disparate groups like the Order of Nine Angles and the Temple of the Black Light.

Lane praised atheistic satanism as a tool to expose what she and leaders of the Satanic Temple believe to be the efforts of evangelical Christians to form America into a theocracy. Lane even went so far as to call Pence a “legitimate theocrat” in HuffPo’s article. Though beyond his known adherence to the Christian faith, she offered no evidence for that claim.

“Trump’s alliance with the evangelical community [has] none of the values but all of the power grab. It was very frightening for a lot of people, who ended up with people like Mike Pence, who is legitimately a theocrat,” Lane said in the article. “He would love for the Bible to be the document that we obey as Americans. Then, someone like [Education Secretary] Betsy DeVos: still super evangelical, loves prayer in school.”

Lane also described efforts to defend monuments of the Ten Commandments in front of courthouses and other government buildings as part of American history as “very chilling for me.” She argued that the Satanic Temple’s various lawsuits against local governments over prayers and monuments are necessary to stem what she said is a nationwide effort to insert evangelical Christianity into government.

“I didn’t know the extent to which there’s an organized, very well-funded, very effective lobbying happening nationwide. You don’t have to be paranoid to think, ‘Just because we have a liberal, secular democracy now doesn’t mean we will always,’” Lane said in the article. “It’s not saying it’s gonna happen tomorrow, but it has happened in the past. Iran was a secular nation [until 1980], when all a sudden, it became a theocracy. It’s something that awakened a kind of urgency in me.”

Lane also decried pop culture’s use of satanic symbols as icons of evil, such as the use of Baphomet on Netflix’s “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.” She argued that culture is malleable and that the meaning of symbols can change.

“That’s why they were so mad at ‘Sabrina’ when they ripped off the Baphomet monument and put it in that show as a monument that means evil,” Lane said. “They’re like, ‘We worked really hard to make that monument. All of our lawsuits were proposing a meaning for this monument. And if that monument ever did get installed on a statehouse lawn, the meaning of it would be religious diversity.’”

The article fails to note, however, that Baphomet originated as a symbol of evil in the 14th century and that the current image of Baphomet was created by the occultist Eliphas Levi in 1854 and is therefore steeped in occult connotation. The HuffPo interviewer also did not ask whether Lane would accept the same reasoning she offered concerning Baphomet for other symbols that most view as evil, like the swastika.
