Old Testament Religion

When we conjure up the idea of the devil and the demonic hordes in our mind, we are often thinking in the context of how Christianity has portrayed them. The devil and his supposed horns, the Exorcist’s battle with the demon possessed, the inverted cross, the Osculum infame (The Infamous kiss) or the Black Mass in which a young woman is sacrificed to Satan. All these are mostly influenced by Christian ideas in some way or another. The Prominence of Christianity in the study of demonology cannot be denied.

As we know, Jesus established His church when talking to Peter those many centuries ago. ”And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18) During the centuries that followed after Jesus made this statement to Peter, His church has been assailed almost constantly by various false teachers. I believe it is just as relevant today that we guard ourselves against the false teachings of those who would deceive us as it has been at any time during the past 2000 years.

Beloved, God wants you to be joyful. But, don’t get joy confused with happiness. Happiness is a feeling that is apart of joy. But, happiness is just that - a feeling. Feelings are fleeting. They aren’t dependable because they are usually dependent on the state of situations. Happiness is too flimsy to base your strength on.

The book of Judges is the seventh book of the Christian Old Testament and the Hebrew Bible. It contains several stories that are cyclical in nature. The stories give various examples of where the Israelites have shown a lack of faith and as a result suffer from great oppression. In turn the Israelites repent and are sent a 'judge' by God, to deliver them from oppression. Includes the story of Deborah, Gideon and Samson, to name a few.

IN his inmost heart every man seeks good and loves God. But God is great, and man is small; good is complex, while passion is simple and insistent. Hence all men forsake the good, and disobey God. This, in the concept form of philosophy, is the truth contained in the historical-pictorial representation that Adam was created holy, and subsequently fell. External quest of goods less than the best is easily forgivable: internal habits of hugging self and pushing God and the good away, though harder to eradicate, are still forgivable. Only the confirmed perversity that hates and despises ...
