PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

George Offerman

For those expecting a movie review, I will not be giving one now, or ever.  I will not see this movie under any circumstances and I will take it a step further and state no Christian should go to see a movie like this.  I have read reviews and watched a couple of the trailers on you tube, and that was more than likely even too much.  The little I did see is what I suspected when hearing of this movie: that it is filled with occult material and advanced spiritualism.  While I am sure it’s intended to be ‘pure fiction’ one ought to consider the overall purpose of a movie like this.  Does it bring about a fuller understanding of our humanity in a way that inspires us, or does it distract us with images that impede our walk with the Lord?

I have heard and read on the various blogs and comment sites about how many adults want to get ‘psyched up’ for the ‘holiday’ and this movie does the trick.  I have also seen many comments about how people in their 50’s still look under the bed before going to sleep, shutting the closet door, and having night lights.  And these same people state these movies are ‘harmless entertainment’.  Then why go through the rituals as if there are monsters, spirits or demons in one’s room if none of it is real?

The problem is that most people (and I’m referring to Christians here) are very unaware of how the spiritual realm works and what happens when it is accessed.  I covered this in one of my hermeneutics postings, forbidden knowledge and the mystery religions, and will briefly go over this again.  The spiritual realm is superior to our realm, and as such if one accesses this realm, they are subject to its rules.  God has revealed enough information pertaining to this realm, and has warned us in the strongest of terms to stay out of it.  Doorways to this realm come from the most menial, and what appears to be harmless activities, and then infects the person and begins to make changes in them that are fear based.

Sure, many may argue that they have nothing more than occasional nightmares, but what justification is that when considering one uses their free will in allowing this garbage into their minds to begin with?  The problem in watching these types of movies, and the justification for doing so demonstrates the lack of knowledge concerning spiritual matters and the need to be vigilant concerning them.  Most Christians lack a good understanding of the spiritual realm due to the Churches not teaching about them, or actually debunking them.  But ignoring or denying the spiritual realm does not negate the reality of it.

So, when people deliberately expose themselves to material that opens up this realm, they are not equipped and they will then be subject to disturbing dreams, fears pertaining to this realm that go beyond reasonable, and may begin to develop phobic reactions and some compulsive behaviors, such as sleeping with the lights on, checking underneath the bed before going to sleep and many other practices that give credence to these things.  If most people understood the nature of these movies, that they truly are gateways into the demonic realm, they would never see them in the first place.  But since they do, they discount the demonic, and by proxy the power of God as well...  These folks do not think about putting on the Armor of God, but insist on doing these things themselves.  They then have to deal with these realms on their own, and they do not acknowledge it is beyond their individual ability to do so.

This is how Satan has so much power today.  Most people don’t believe in a literal Satan, and the churches minimize its discussions on evil, demonic activity and hell.  There are fewer than 100 exorcists in the U.S. and most of the other Christian churches pay little attention to evil.  So not only are people not prepared in ways of combating evil, they are actually lead to believe it does not exist.  So evil flourishes, while holiness and sanctity are downplayed.  And our society continues to dabble in occultism and demonic materials in the name of ‘entertainment’ while continually going down on a negative trajectory.

I know many will have problems with this, and want to jump in on how this is being exaggerated and hyped.  I also believe many people, who would make this claim also believe all Christians, and most people will go to heaven no matter what they do, and evil and sin is an ancient and outdated concept.  While they may have all the right in the world to believe this and continue to go to movies like this, I want them to think of this as they may trash me and others who think like me: I sleep well with the lights off, I close all of my closets, and never check under the bed before the lights go out.  I love looking at the full moon and can sit outside alone for hours looking at the stars and listening to the wild life without experiencing bizarre thoughts and images.  If those folks who watch these movies can say the same, then keep doing what you’re doing.  Otherwise stay away from this demonic trash, as you ought to.

HERMENEUTICS 101: FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE AND MYSTERY RELIGIONS

George Offerman

***warning to reader***

This posting is going to address topics that will explore areas that should not be tampered with. The occult and mystery religions are not to be toyed with, and can have lasting effects during this lifetime as well as eternal if accessed.


The thirst for knowledge is central in the struggle of man in his current state of sin. Wanting to know the future, coupled with the obsession of avoiding death and the desire for paradise is deeply honed into man’s psyche. It transcends time and society, and is evidenced everywhere in history. We also have ample evidence that many will ‘sell their soul’ to tap into the esoteric and mystical aspects of our reality, but they ultimately pay a much larger price for this knowledge than they can ever imagine.

Forbidden Knowledge

Forbidden knowledge is somewhat distinct from the secret knowledge of the mystery religions, in that it is publicly accessible, and the methods by which it is accessed are becoming more acceptable and mainstreamed. Forbidden knowledge opens doors to evil and the realm of the demonic world, which is spiritual, a well as superior to the empirical world we exist in. The spiritual realm exists with an order that parallels our world, and once one enters that realm, he is subject to the laws that govern this realm. In other words, if one tampers with powers greater than his abilities, he is subject to those powers, and these powers have rights over him.

This forbidden knowledge is clearly spelled out in the Bible. The prime example is God’s warning to Adam and Eve, to not eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God’s warning had to do with sparing Adam and Eve, and by extension, humanity from the curse of sin. It was also a test of free will to see if Adam and Eve would freely worship God out of love, versus fear and coercion that Satan has accused God of. This act began the age of sin, and the beginnings of the pursuit of knowledge that has resulted in the advancement of sin.

At the fall of man, the nature of knowledge took a turn. God propagated open knowledge and has laid out the terms of salvation for all to see and know. Satan, has hidden his knowledge, and has used the curiosity factor in enticing man to follow his ways. Satan has also abused his authority of being the prince of this world in ‘rewarding’ those following in his path to deceive those into believing the ‘light bearer’ actually has more earthly authority than the Living God in Heaven. In essence, ‘crime pays’, as evil advances with apparent ease, and those following God are persecuted and seemed to be vilified. It is in this matter, that many men fall prey to learning about the esoteric ways and explore realities they have no business interacting with.

Forbidden knowledge involves matters that attempt to glean the future, contacting the dead, manipulating the environment and people for illicit gains, and all other matters that discredit the sanctity and Holiness of God, and call into question his word as revealed in the Bible. The methods of accessing forbidden knowledge ranges from items that appear harmless, such as horoscopes, movies, like Harry Potter that glorify witchcraft, new age practices that touch upon meditation and entering altered states of consciousness, to the more occult in séances, Ouija boards, palm readings, tarot cards, satanic symbolism, certain types of music, psychedelic drugs, the practice of white magic, and practicing of Wicca and other dark arts that call upon the realm of the demonic for power. These forces are very real, and ‘playing’ with them can result in anything from mood swings to demonic possession. Any form of this occultist material should be removed from the home immediately, and destroyed.

Mystery religions

A mystery religion, unlike forbidden knowledge is a closed system. The nature of mystery religions is the passing on of hidden or esoteric knowledge to an elite inner core for the sole purpose of controlling other people and the environment. There is usually a continuous recruit by the particular groups, and the initiate enters at the basic level, to be tested by the elders and elites. There is deliberate disinformation propagated at this level and the main purpose is to cover for the real purpose and existence of this group. The group from the outside, is always painted as harmless (like the current Bilderberg, Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission), and any violation of protocol at the initiate level is expulsion from the group. The group maintains loyalty through ‘brainwashing’ the individual to ‘appreciate’ the privilege of being considered for the group, and pledges of moving up in the ranks if found ‘worthy (Freemasonry).

Mystery religions worship a deity, and without exception, it is the devil (sometimes recognized a such, but not in all). There are the themes of the fall, the need for a savior, resurrection and salvation. Many of the initiation rites play out mock deaths and practice psychological breakdowns to access very personal information that can be used, if needed to ‘keep wayward’ members in line (Skull and Bones). Once one has reached the inner circle and has accessed the true nature of the esoteric, there is no way out other than death, as this is seen as the ultimate betrayal, and would expose the true nature of the group to the outside world. That is why all satanic worship is secret and guarded very well.

For the sake of time, the mystery religion that exists today will be covered. This is an anti Christian form of esoteric knowledge, and is in direct contrast to the Bible and what is believed in the open. The core belief of the anti Christian mystery religions centers around the conflict between God and Lucifer, the ‘light bearer’. In short, Lucifer questioned God’s authority and accused God of being a ‘cosmic bully’ in that God restricted certain activities, and truly did not give or allow beings to exercise free will. Lucifer was able to convince one third of the angels to rebel against this ‘tyranny’ and in effect was cast out of heaven upon losing this first insurrection.

Upon being cast down, Lucifer became Satan, and began to practice and violate the few restrictions placed upon all created beings, and used his free will (Which Satan still insists he does not have) to corrupt creation. Satan, as the father of lies, has been able to convince God’s creation, man, that God is truly evil, is a tyrant, and can be defeated. Satan, as prince of this world, has the cosmic authority to give to whomever he pleases, and by granting wealth upon his closest followers, assures allegiance and loyalty. This system also persecutes the righteous, and gives the appearance that God is a liar, in that righteousness is not rewarded, and that God is not actively involved in day to day life and that ultimately, Satan is more powerful than God.

Satan, in giving God’s creation and gifts to his followers (through thievery) appears to be the ‘light bearer’ and appears to be benevolent, kind and caring (traits Satan hates about God) while subtly passing on ‘knowledge’ that scarcity is the reality, that these elite deserve to have control over their fellow man, that they are entitled to be the masters of the earth, and live lavish lives. Satan has also promised a share in his kingdom (when) God is defeated (the future Babylon), and ‘guarantees’ paradise and peace. In the teachings, reincarnation and/or immortality are taught as being attainable, and are central tenets of the religion, along with the ‘special knowledge’ of attaining this state. Christianity, the ultimate enemy of the mystery religions and secret societies, is under constant attack and debunked at every opportunity. By undermining Christianity, this group is able to advance their agenda with little resistance.

The very modern version of the mystery religions has managed to infect society with such concepts as evolution, that discredits God as creator, relativism, that questions all belief systems and makes all equal, and the idea that scarcity is the rule of thumb, and that for the survival of mankind, the population must be controlled, and scarce resources must be rationed. This will take ‘overlords’ to accomplish this and Satan has the authority to give this to whom he pleases. So, from our current perspective, it looks like evil wins, and it gives credibility to the false premises sown by Satan. This system, however, has an end point, and will not go on forever.

Forbidden knowledge and the mystery religions are satanic and straight from hell. They are to be avoided at all costs, and serve no other purpose than to bring death and destruction to those who partake of this ‘forbidden fruit’. But there is a need to at least be aware of these forces to understand the times we live in, and to gauge our own actions and beliefs concerning the very influential aspects of these beliefs. The Georgia ‘guide stones’ are the perfect example of the goals of the modern mystery religions, and it is there or all to see. The dark powers are becoming bolder in their moves, and are becoming fairly open as to what they are up to. The dark powers are near transparent in their endeavors, and are getting very close to their goals of a one world government as dictated to them by their demonic master.

TROUBLE WITH THE CLERGY?

George Offerman

There is a very disturbing article on the spirit daily website that addresses the possibility of Satanists in the Vatican, and the claim by an exorcist that it goes as high as some of the Cardinals. If true, this scandal would be of such a magnitude, as to make virtually all of the other scandals child’s play in comparison. It sure would also go a long way in explaining why the Church is so silent on many of the critical issues in which it should be taking the lead, such as legalized child killing.

http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/spanish_exorcist_addresses_claims_of_satanic_influence_in_vatican/

As well, one should be skeptical to some extent in which such a broad charge is levied against a large group of individuals. But like all things, we are challenged to test them out and discern the evidence presented and always pray for our leadership.

However, what seems to be true, and I have witnessed it first hand is the numbers of clergy who do not believe in the devil, and by extension, demons. There are truly significant repercussions of this belief, and they directly impact the ministry of the clergy who hold these beliefs. Scripture is filled with examples of Jesus casting out demons, and openly refers to Satan, the Devil, Father of lies, etc. so it is difficult to understand either of these positions that deny the devil, or worshiping him.

If we consider the first, that clergy, and possibility that some Cardinals are Satanists, it would require that these individuals totally disregard the scriptures and traditions of nearly 2000 years and embrace the so called mystery religions, with its forbidden knowledge. (Mystery religions and the forbidden knowledge would be several postings by themselves, so I’m just mentioning them here). These individuals would have to have been seduced into this, and Christianity and mystery religions are mutually exclusive. But in a nutshell, these individuals would be worshiping the created versus the creator, and siding with an inferior being, who is a liar and a betrayer.

The implications of this would be lawlessness, as their master would be instructing them to violate the Laws of God on a regular basis. Legalized child killing would be the crown jewel for Satan, and being silent, or actually advocating policies in which to continue this practice would be the order of the day. Propagating their errors would be the most important item on the agenda, as it would ‘normalize’ this activity and condition the population for further draconian changes that their devious master has in mind.

The second group, which does not believe in the devil or demons, in effect, would be really declaring that they do not believe in God as well. Jesus was clear that God is truth, and if Jesus spoke and cast out demons and the Devil, and the clergy deny this, they in effect are calling Jesus a liar, and this would disqualify Jesus as being God. It also calls into question the efficacy of Scripture, and once one can find ‘errors’ in matters of faith and morals, then it would call into question whether Scripture is actually a book to be believed. At that point, one would be able to pick and choose what they believe, if anything and soon chaos will reign. Does this sound like the days we live in?

The implications for this belief, as above, would be lawlessness, but for different reasons. If one believes there is no devil and demons, then by extension, there is no hell, and thus, no condemnation. If this is true, then there is no need for a redeemer, and the whole story of Jesus has no meaning or value, as all of us are going to attain whatever is in the afterlife, and there is no real need to worry about how we live down here. Morals and ethics would then be in the eye of the beholder, and no ones morals would be superior to another’s, and relativism would then reigns. The only judgment would be against those insisting on absolutes, and the authority of the Living God. Behaviors like legalized child killing would be seen as neutral, since there are no penalties for behaviors, and the ethic of tolerance would trump the life of these children.

In both accounts, the devil is absolutely thrilled. The devil wants to be worshiped, and he demands of his people their allegiance, and obedience to his will. His crown jewel is the destruction of God’s most precious creation, that of babies. It is the blood sacrifice in which Satan glorifies himself, and by tricking the two groups, he effectively gets what he wants. When the clergy has a crisis of faith, it necessitates the spreading of this error, and the circle of unbelief gets ever so wider, until it is nearly impossible to resist. It seems we are at this place now, and it will take nothing other than an incredibly strong faith in God, coupled with enough brave souls to put leather into action, and turn this around.
