Occultist symbols?

<< < (3/11) > >>

lareli:
Very well Rick.. New topic started.  ;)

Kat:

Rick has a good point, we are learning the truths of God here and to give any credence to such things as occult symbols seems inappropriate to me. Any group (especially in the upper class) that is private, "for members only" with 'secret' practices, that in itself creates suspicion in the outside world and it's easy to make what seems strange to fit a theory that you want to believe. Of course there are cover ups, vested interests and corruption, but the actuality is often somewhere in between what mainstream media's says and the conspiracy theorists versions. Being concerned over these occult symbols seems to pull us into worldly politics, and we should not pollute our minds with such things.

I think it is fear and prejudice of the unknown that results in a lot of false interpretations of the symbols seen in geopolitics. It may also be from a Christian conditioning in our background that make us suspicious of things we don't understand and suspect as occultism. Many of the observations may well be correct, but the meanings derived from them are often completely incorrect.

Most of these symbols have conspiracy theorists that tend to interpret it all as occultism and one big conspiracy linked together for various reasoning. As Dave was saying most symbolism generally have a long history and misinterpretation... this type of suspicions were even implied to the original followers of Christ as well. The first followers were highly suspected of wrong, even wicked doings, because of persecution they needed to meet in secret. So they were falsely accused based on misunderstanding, incorrect information, slander, personal prejudice and/or fear... similar to the Salem witch hunts. Just some of my thoughts on this.

Php 4:6  Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
v. 7  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
v. 8  Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

mercy, peace and love

Hi Largeli,

Like scripture says, from the abundance of the heart does the mouth speak and where your heart is be also where your treasure is.

Ray taught us that Satan was never created an angle but was created the serpent, the devil, he was a liar and a murderer from the beginning.

Satan is Like a roaring lion seeking whom he might devour, I don't care about demonic symbol, I care about the things of God because life is in God not Satan who was a liar and a murderer from the beginning..

God bless.

I'm not sure Ray was on the same page since he spent quite a lot of time on TOPHET AND MOLECH IN HINNOM. I would never ever have known this ritual went on in my own country if not for Ray. Understanding that which is around you is not the worst idea I've ever heard. Giving it too much weight in your life, not such a good idea. Today is Saturday- named for the god Saturn. I'm not exactly going to tear it out of my calendar but I do realize that the things of this world are all around me.
   Btw- I believe In God we Trust came at the time of  the cold war- kind of a "in your face "to the Soviet Union. It would be nice if our country actually trusted in God but truly, they do not.

Everything is corrupt except God, I understand that but when God leads one out or away from the corruption one should not return but there are some who do.

King James Bible
PROV 26:11
As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

God bless.
