DEFINITIONS
OF SATANISM
1. The worship of Satan, a fallen
angel.
2. Having to do with the devil.
3. A lie and a deception. Specifically, something that is put forth as truth, but, in fact, is the opposite of
truth.
For example,
if a group claims to be loving, but they murder, steal
or rape, then this is Satanism. In
this sense, Satanism is a total reversal of truth or total falsehood.
4. Anything that is anti-Christian,
anti-Christ or against Jesus, meaning to mock Christ or Jesus.
5. Something evil or horrible.
6.
The word satanic can be used to mean something that is the opposite of what it
appears to be, or is supposed to be.
This
is a very important definition.
DOES
DEVELOPMENT SCIENCE FIT THESE DEFINITIONS?
No. Development science is ancient and
found in the Old And New Testaments of the Bible. The Bible urges everyone to work on themselves to become closer to God and to walk with Christ
more closely. This is the
beginning of development.
Development
science then uses modern biochemistry and nutritional science to help improve
the health of the body to assist in this process.
The emphasis
on proper food and diet, plenty of rest, sexual restraint and other aspects of
development science are necessary today.
They were less necessary several thousand years ago when the Bible was written, so it is not found there in much detail. Also,
nutritional science was not as advanced, and this is another reason it is not
found in the Bible.
Some people say that one does not need all
this knowledge. They say that one
only needs what is in the Bible.
Then the Holy Spirit will teach you the rest of what one needs to
know.
We agree with this, in theory. However, in practice, most of us are
not that in touch with the Holy Spirit so we are not told each
and every day what is best to eat, and other important details about our
lives. The articles on this
website are intended to help with this problem.
Some
articles in this website also discuss topics with which some Christians are
uncomfortable. This is a constant
concern of this author. It is best
to avoid these topics for some people.
Others, however, want to explore these topics in a safe way to learn
more about our universe, the body, and other things. Please skip over these articles if you prefer. They are not satanic, devil worship or part
of a new age religion.
The
rest of this article discusses various topics related to the above.
DEFINITIONS
OF NEW AGE
1. A new religion on earth. Among its characteristics are:
a. Opposed to traditional
Christianity. Some New Age
people do not endorse the Bible and the Ten Commandments at all. Instead, they believe in alternative
lifestyles such as homosexuality, abortion on demand, moral relativism, loose
sexual behavior, and other such doctrines.
Some New Age
people, such as those who attend Unity Church, for example, do endorse the
Bible, but with qualifications.
b. An earth
religion, meaning some of its members worship Gaia or
the planet, and many of its followers are ardent environmentalists.
c. A more
pagan religion, a throwback to the older earth religions
d. Usually
associated with socialism, communism, and anti-capitalist sentiments.
e. A sort of selfish Ôme
generationÕ approach to life.
f. Heavy on
the use of affirmations, amulets, candles, stones, reading angel cards,
throwing the I-Ching, divining using pendulums,
speaking with the dead (spiritualism), use of ouija
boards, often in an effort to invoke the power of the universe to get what one
wants.
This is very
similar to witchcraft. It is the
opposite of the biblical approach of ÒThy will be doneÓ and following the Ten
Commandments, for example, in order to succeed and prosper in this life.
g. Often, an open-minded and
tolerant attitude toward unusual phenomena and new sciences. This can range from an interest in
flying saucers to witchcraft or homosexuality.
h. Often
interested in natural lifestyles and holistic healing. This causes some Christians to be
opposed to holistic healing, which is unfortunate.
Holistic
healing, including nutritional balancing science, is just basic healing science
that has been suppressed because the medical
profession is ruled by the drug industry.
I explain this in detail in several articles on this website such as Why Double-Digit Inflation Of Health Care Costs.
