I know, Born Again Christians are *always* criticizing the culture. Comes with the territory, I suppose.

Anyway, I was just thinking...are we that much different from ancient Rome? Or the ancient cultures surrounding what would become Israel?

I was just thinking...OK, so we have...open sexual immorality, child sacrifice (they used temples to Moloch, we have abortions), drugs abuse galore (sorcery), increasing fascination and involvement in the occult, easy divorce, an over-sexualized society, and...

...and I'm thinking maybe this isn't anything new, its just history repeating itself. Maybe its a bit worse, what with modern technology and all. Oh, and slavery...we have human trafficking now, plus super low wage illegal alien labor.

What do y'all think?

nope.pot meet kettle. we are very much like rome. we have the style of parties like the plebecites and patricians. plebecites are the dems and the republicans are the patricians and both didn't do much for the common folk.
 
I have been thinking by reading current events, news, and etc. but you are correct with your statement below.

History doesn't repeat itself, but only becomes modernized by how culture deals with it to make things seem right to do, but yet go against Gods will just as in the beginning as it will and ever be until the end. So no, nothing has changed from the original Rome.

Without a doubt.
 
No. We still got church infiltration and Christian slandering. Aleister Crowley's agenda is growing in which he wanted Christians fed to the lions.

The Bible did say that towards the end times there would be a falling away from the truth and people would become more degenerate and violent. So i see the fall into roman type decadent culture as a sign of the end times and the soon return of the Messiah Jesus.
 
I think it has more to do with human base instinc than Rome. Rome is an example of what happens when power is used for sustaining corupt systems. However I think we can simplify it even more.

We as people yearn for food, entertainment, rest, power/freedom, and sex.

As a society we will do what it takes to get that said power. What we are seeing now ia that the US has managed to make food, sex, leisure, entertainment, and ecen wealth easier to get. So we then find something new to fight over or control.


We are wired to find conflict and to alwaya want more. Its survival instincts. Just that when we give power to some that arent conxerned with the general welfare, then we see mass problems.

Crowley, not all Satanists are like him and i think he was an atheist who said and wrote the satanic bible as a parody.

Aleister Crowley was a 33rd degree mason and illuminist. Anton Levay wrote the satanic bibel. They're no joke. Ephesians 6:12

uhm, the army trained me on what Satanism is. there are how many Satanists in the army? not enough for one chaplain. they have asked for one to be in the army but that was one church of satan in Oklahoma. if what you said is true, then well being that we have cemeteries everywhere. especially in my small town, it would well noticed if a stone was desecrated. there Satanist that don't do that. they are odd and out there but they do whacky things and say it but never would harm you.

does satan one day have some lady walk nude to work and you give in have sex? NO. he uses subtle means, ever think that the church was too lazy and sorry to simply tell the aclu in America. fine we don't need to have sanction prayer but we will have rooms to ask all that would come to pray. then they couldn't do squat. so what if they did make it illegal. are they mind readers? pray anyway. pass notes or message each other. pray at this time for this. I have prayed while doing this.
meter number 40150 read 88050 , next to the water, while walking, no one hears it as its in my mind. Lord bless that person that I passed, she looks upset, remember my pastor. not hard is it?

If you want real training on what satanism is, check out Russ Dizdar. You're right. He's subtle. That's what conditioning is. It's subtle. The externalization of the hierarchy. This is why no one cares when they're told. Even "Christians" who should have a supernatural worldview are seeing things today as mythical. Ephesians 6:12. It's real.

real training? uhm the army like the jails and correction system keeps tabs on all faiths. we have had members post stuff from the kkk to the t here. word for word. since the acts of Satanism are a crime, the jails and corrections and the army mp will know about it

I guess America should be a Christian theocracy because masonry pushed for the removal of the crown and separation of the church and state. note, not all masons are illuminati. I have met one master mason that hated the illuminati. sorry you are connecting the nuts to assume they they are all doing that. I know my county.its small. the older people here really don't like nuts. trust me they don't. If you are out there they will not support you.

we have no open Satanists in the county seats. you assumed that its the government doing that when its the aclu with the court ruling. the aclu is started as a jewish organization.while they have gone to far with a lot. we did push and force kids in some states to pray and learn the bible. jesus said compel not mandate by law. I neither like the masons much but again what is satanic isn't that by large.

here me this man. there a sad case of deception. read his posts.

the man claims Christ and is a gay roman catholic. if you didn't know the word that well one would fall into that. what most former occults Satanism is , in fact isn't.one can go to the church of satan and read their stuff. I have.if I am going to refute their position. I must know what it is first.they also say many Satanists don't follow the their bible nor are a part of the church of satan. they claim to be disciples of Crowley.

Not all Masons are illuminati. All masons are under Lucifer whether they realize it or not. Albert pike said Lucifer was the light, and Manly P Hall said the seething energies of lucifer is in their hands. Many Masons have left freemasonry because of this. Aleister Crowley didn't start the church of satan. Anton Levay did. Luciferianism and Satanism are different but the same. See Russ Dizdar.

Master Mason is the third of the first three degrees by the way. Which means most of his knowledge is yet to change subtly.

You'll like this little jewel of insight that came to me about a week ago, brother Yosef.

The illuminists say there is true occulted wisdom in their 33 degrees, but there was one named Jesus the Christ who's 33 and 1/2 year life came to disperse their false and blinding light and shine as a beacon of truth and glory forevermore. One-upping the evil one, that's how my God rolls!

And how many of the angels fell? 1/3. Or 33.3%
