Baphomet, the character pictured here, is a popular figure tied to many pagan rituals and organizations. He has also been referred to as “the talking goat’s head”, “the goat of Mendes,” and “the horned god.” Because this idol has ties to so many pagan groups, no one is 100% certain who used it first. Groups throughout history who have used depictions of Baphomet in their rituals include (but are not limited to) Islamic mystics, the Knights Templar, Kabbalah, Roman pagans, Greek pagans, Druids, witches (both Wiccans and black witches), satanists, and Freemasons. If anything, it shows that false religions have spiritual ties to each other and since they have those ties, it is no wonder that there is a push among all false religions to have a one world religion that preaches about all roads leading to “God.”
The picture here of Baphomet was drawn by a man named Eliphas Levi, whose name appears in the lower part of the picture. He was a 19th century Kabbalah mystic in France who established many teachings followed today by those involved in magick and the occult. His real name was Alphonse Louis Constant and he at one time had the desire to be a Catholic priest but eventually left the seminary and the Catholic Church to embrace occultic teachings, beginning with Rosicrucianism. After leaving seminary, he changed his name to Eliphas Levi, which he thought to be the Hebrew version of his birth name.
This idol drawn by Eliphas Levi is chock full of occultic symbols. One of the first things you will notice is the pentagram on Baphomet’s forehead. The pentagram, whether upside down or right side up, is a very prominent occultic symbol. According to Levi in a book he wrote on transcendentalism, the pentagram symbolizes the power of the mind to dominate the spiritual realm in order to interact with “legions of angels and hosts of fiends”, or, as we Christians would say, it is symbolic of interacting with devils.
On Baphomet’s right arm is the word “solve” while on his left arm is the word “coagula.” Together the words form the phrase “solve coagula” or “solve et coagula.” This phrase means “solution and coagulation” and is a philosophy based on medieval alchemist practices. Alchemy was the belief that base metals could be changed to gold, that panaceas existed to cure all ills and needed to be discovered, and that with enough experimentation, one could discover an elixir to give longevity to life. It also included the use of occult magic in an attempt to bring these theories to reality. The phrase “solve et coagula” was the mantra used referring to the process of breaking down elements and hardened positions (solving) so those elements could be changed, or transmuted, to be united in a different form (coagula). Levi thought this phrase applied to the religious/spiritual realm where people’s unenlightened beliefs could be broken down and then changed to more enlightened paths that would unite everyone to a new perspective that would put everyone into agreement. In other words, he wanted to break down the Christian belief that Jesus is the only way to God, or other “divisive” doctrines, so that all mankind could unite to follow his god in a one world religion.
If you look at Baphomet’s hands, the index finger and second finger on each hand are up. These hand signals (the “peace” sign) are symbolism used in the occult world as well as in the Catholic Church and Eliphas Levi applied this signal to his own occultic ideas. Actually, the two philosophies symbolized in this hand signal, whether they are used in the Catholic Church or in occultic settings, are both false doctrines. The Catholic portrayal of Jesus below shows a Catholic Jesus (a false Christ) using the hand signal. The two-fingered signals used by Baphomet and the false Christ symbolize 1)Apostolic Succession, and 2)Temporal Power.
Apostolic succession in Catholicism is the doctrine that only the Pope is the true head of Christ’s church on Earth and that he sits in the seat of Christ (i.e. he is the “vicar of Christ”). Temporal power is the doctrine that the Pope has authority and sovereignty over all the rulers of every nation on Earth. To the occultist bowing down to Baphomet, apostolic succession is translated into the belief that Baphomet is the god in every religion, therefore all religions lead to god. The doctrine of temporal power is translated into the belief that Baphomet has universal power to rule all nations. It is only through the acceptance of his doctrines that peace, victory, and unity can take place on Earth and in the universe, according to occultist teachings.
The two-fingered sign with one arm up and one arm down also symbolizes the “As above, so below” mantra that is used in various pagan, occultic, Hermetic traditions (see this comment below). It has several interconnected meanings within each occultic tradition which intentionally muddies the waters of specifically pinpointing its definition for the sake of confusion. Generally, it refers to a universal balance between positive things and negative things, the physical and the spiritual, which appear to be opposed to each other, but end up working in unison for the benefit of those who use the mantra. To Eliphas Levi, it meant the use of Chesed (creativity, kindness, light) is balanced with the use of Geburah (severity, fear, judgment, dark) for universal power. (added 12/29/2015)
In Baphomet’s lap, you see two serpents criss-crossing up a pole with a hole in Baphomet’s abdomen. Two serpents going up a pole is the ancient symbol of the staff of Hermes in Greek paganism, and the caduceus of Mercury in Roman paganism. This occultic symbol means Baphomet opens the path to Kundalini energy (taught in Hinduism), also known as the “Serpent Power”, that when released causes the occultist to transcend to higher levels of enlightenment to unite the body, mind, and spirit in well-being. It is also a phallic symbol representing the act of generation (especially sex outside of marriage) and promotes the occultic/pagan belief that sex brings the person who participates in it great power and control in their own lives and control over the individuals they have sex with. For more on the ungodly symbols found in depictions of Baphomet, see this comment below which has quotes from occultist Eliphas Levi.
Those who buy into all of these evil doctrines that Baphomet represents are terribly deceived. Baphomet’s pentagram may promote contact with devils, but God’s word says, “…I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils,” [1 Corinthians 10:20-21]. Devils, although they transform themselves into angels of light, are nothing but deceivers who bring darkness and like thieves come only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. But Jesus Christ has come so we can have life more abundantly [John 10:10]. Baphomet may claim he wants to “solve coagula”, but this is nothing more than a plot to blaspheme God’s name as he opposes God in a feeble attempt to exalt himself above God.
Those who follow Baphomet may seek to destroy the true church of Christ, but upon the rock of Christ God has built his church, and the very gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Greater is he that is in Christian believers, than he that is in the world [1 John 4:4]. Peace, victory, and unity may be promised by Baphomet by his claims to have all power on Earth, but true peace can only come through Jesus Christ, the true Prince of Peace. Real victory over sin, death, hell and every work of the devil only comes through the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone has been given all power in heaven and earth [Matthew 28:18]. True unity can only be displayed when there is unity of the Holy Spirit and of godly faith in the believers of Jesus Christ. Baphomet promises enlightenment through his serpent power, but in reality it is the entrance of God’s word into our hearts that gives us light and understanding [Psalm 119:130]. God’s word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path, providing us with more understanding than any ungodly teacher or ungodly elder [Psalm 119:99, 100, 105]. So who is this Baphomet? None other than the great deceiver known as Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, Belial, and the devil.

This is, truly, an excellant article. It is not focused on too much today in (various) churches but it is indeed true that, “[…] we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12, KJV).”

I thought “solve et coagula” was Latin, meaning “loose and curdle”.
In other words this image is pointing out the two opposites in life, negative and positive or loose and solid etc.
Meaning things like milk curdle , becoming solid and would also be where the word coagulate comes from a term used to describe the thickening of a liquid substance to become solid.

No it actually only has one meaning as it is a direct quote from the emeral tablet which is a teaching that any great work cannot be accomplished without the spirit.

Sam,
To say it has no dual meaning simply because it was taken from some ancient tablet is an illogical statement. Occultic practices and doctrines like the “as above so below” mantra are almost as old as creation since it is tied to Satan’s false doctrine that he started in the Garden of Eden when he got Adam and Eve to question God’s word when he asked “yea…hath God said…?” The “as above so below is tied to the Hermetic tradition–an occultic and Satanic tradition. It’s meaning is fluid in the same way that people in the Hermetic tradition falsely believe their gender is fluid. In the same way Eliphas Levi used that as a basis to depict Baphomet as gender fluid.

Hermetic alchemy is not occult or satanic. It is not religious in any way and if you say the phrase can have dual meanings even though it is a direct quote from a centuries old tablet then you would agree that the Ten Commandments have dual meanings also since they are direct quotes from tablets. Read a book, educate yourself, and leave the westboro Baptist Church.

You are such a Satanic liar with your doctrines of demons. By your words you continue to prove how unChristian you really are. To say that God’s word is the same as your occultic Hermetic tablets proves you have no regard for God’s word. God’s word is proven true by its accurate history. accurate prophecies that continue to be fulfilled, and by its accurate science. Alchemy isn’t accurate. It’s fake science that teaches the false idea that any base metal can be changed into gold. That has been debunked several times over, yet you want to attack me for speaking truth even as you tell lies. God’s word, therefore, is far superior. Any real Christian would know that.
You should also stop bearing false witness. I have never been affiliated with Westboro.

So I am going to throw out some things here. Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness. The serpent in the ancient culture always represented Kundalini. Kundalini is the hot and cold that Christ wants you to be in Revelations. It is the masculine and feminine side. The light and dark. Good and bad. Duality that needs to be transcended. Christ means anointing. What is the anoiting? Paul says that Christ within is the hope of glory. The Bible is a book about Kundalini Awakened people and their experiences in parables. You can only understand when the anoiting opens up your eyes. So much more can be said about the Bible although there is a reason why it is the most read book by both Christianity and occultist.
Peace.

penultima,
Thanks for your comments. I left out the crescent moons because I couldn’t find anything on them and didn’t know what they meant. But after further research, I was able to find out more information when I tracked down a translation by A. E. Waite of Eliphas Levi’s “Dogma et Rituel de la Haute Magie.” In English, the title is “The Ritual of Transcendental Magic.” On p. 82 of that book, Eliphas Levi makes the following blasphemous statements about Baphomet:
“Now, all the fathers of the Church, who have concerned themselves with Jewish symbolism, have recognized in the immolated goat the figure of Him Who assumed, as they say, the very form of sin. Hence the Gnostics were not outside symbolical traditions when they assigned this same mystical figure to Christ the Liberator. All the Kabalah and all Magic, as a fact, are divided between the cultus of the immolated and that of the emissary goat. We must recognize therefore a Magic of the Sanctuary and that of the wilderness, the White and the Black Church, the priesthood of public assemblies and the Sanhedrin of the Sabbath. The goat which is represented in our frontispiece bears upon its forehead the Sign of the Pentagram with one point in the ascendant, which is sufficient to distinguish it as a symbol of the light. Moreover, the sign of occultism is made with both hands, pointing upward to the white moon of Chesed, and downward to the black moon of Geburah. This sign expresses the perfect concord between mercy and justice. One of the arms is feminine and the other masculine, as in the androgyne of Khunrath, those attributes we have combined with those of our goat, since they are one and the same symbol. The torch of intelligence burning between the horns is the magical light of universal equilibrium; it is also the type of the soul, exalted above matter, even while cleaving to matter, as the flame cleaves to the torch. The monstrous head of the animal expresses horror of sin, for which the material agent, alone responsible, must alone and for ever bear the penalty, because the soul is impassible in its nature and can suffer only by materializing. The caduceus, which replaces the generative organ [penis], represents eternal life; the scale-covered belly typifies water; the circle above it is the atmosphere, the feathers still higher up signify the volatile; lastly, humanity is depicted by the two breasts and the androgyne arms of this sphinx of the occult sciences. Behold the shadows of the infernal sanctuary dissipated! Behold the sphinx of mediaeval terrors unveiled and cast from his throne! Quomodo cedidisti, Lucifer!
The dread Baphomet henceforth, like all monstrous idols, enigmas of antique science, and its dreams, is only an innocent and even pious hieroglyph.”
It’s obvious that these devilish doctrines are affecting what we see going on in the world. The caduceus is a phallic symbol promoting fornication and Baphomet is androgynous–having both female and male body parts. Androgyny is what we see promoted in rock-n-roll and in the world at large when people espouse bisexuality, transgenderism, or homosexuality.

You are all doing what is exactly what is wanted. Quarreling over your beliefs is a means to achieve nothing, for if only Jesus can save, then even trying to preach gods word is useless, as you do not hold such powers. If not to preach to lift a veil then your breath is wasted and time is spent not worshipping, but feeding the ego. Bickering over beliefs has led to wars. If, instead of debating on a internet forum, you would go out and bring good to the world, you would surely be more god-like. One should be happy enough in their belief that they shouldn’t feel the need to explain or preach it, as I said, Jesus is the only one who can save, right? So, your spouting of who is wrong and right, is meaningless. This is to everyone on this forum, I simply replied to harry. None of this matters after our physical bodies have passed, so why concern ourselves with discussing these beliefs? That’s the real evil if you ask me. Go do something good for someone in the physical world instead of discussing this for such an extended period of time. While this world is only temporary, regardless of what you believe in, you may find some happiness in helping others who need it. You may never know how simply holding a door for someone may help them feel joy if you are too preoccupied with a screen with letters on it.

Do you know what the “law of noncontradiction” is? It simply states that if a statement contradicts itself, it cannot be true. Your statement contradicts itself and cannot be true. You claim debating about beliefs is a waste of time, yet your comment is debating us about our debating. You say spouting off about who is wrong and who is right is a meaningless exercise, but by your very statement you are claiming you are right and we are wrong. So you’ve contradicted yourself–which means you’re not practicing what you preach.
You should also take a closer look at your statement about wars. Wars take place when certain people believe they have the right to violate other people’s rights by unjustifiably using violence with intent to murder with the help of an armed group. “Bickering” about beliefs takes place all over the place every day, but most places in the world aren’t having wars.

This essay while completely biased on the christian side unfortunately shows the author did the most minute amount of research but surely the eyes were afraid to dig too deep into what they were affixed. Baphomet is a symbol and nothing to do with pagan. Unless by pagan you assume one means because they don’t believe in christ? Ponder this thought on the highest levels and you may assume a minute amount of enlightenment. That which could be thought is false! From a completely unbiased (I.E. Agnostic(I don’t assume to have any answers because there are no questions.)) point of view there is but one meaning of this beast! Baphomet represent qualities attributed to the forces that created the great world weather you call that force God Jesus Mahammed Jah Jehova Iam whatever makes no difference. This is the symbol they taught their followers to respect creation, life, death, continuence, love, imperfection, the universe, all summed up into one symbol which by the way is a card among the taro deck. The taro being a wheel representing the cycle of life and the story of the forces that created it. The moons you seem to misunderstand represent the movement of the moon, orbital. The position of the moon, waxing and waning. The harmony of both the dark (eclipsed) moon as well as the bright (enlightened) side of the moon appearing to balance an equation. Does this mean worship the goat head, no it simply means stare at this symbol and you will find universal truths. To call all of this devils and to say that jesus (ha) is the only way to attain knowledge obviously you don’t know the internet that well. You assume to read a few articles on a symbol you have no knowledge of that you are of merit to post a report of venomous slander against that what you do not understand. Such disrespect is a quality of christians passed down from their predecessors. That’s my two cents care to debate I won’t be back on this page contact me directly Crazedlude@hotmail.com.

I’m rather glad you won’t be back on this page. Yes, I have a bias in favor of Christianity just as you have a bias in favor of your beliefs. Biases, when based on the truth of God’s word, are a good thing and are pleasing to Jehovah, the God of the universe. I’d much rather please him than be concerned about offending you or any other unbeliever.
By “pagan” or “heathen” I mean anyone who does not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, which is what the Bible teaches. As far as your attack on my research goes, I went to the source of the one who depicted Baphomet and the other pagan resources who discuss him. I even quoted in my comment from Eliphas Levi’s book for his meaning of the picture of Baphomet he drew. And you’re disputing information that has come directly from him. The fact that Baphomet is a representation of the devil and devilish beliefs is not venomous slander, it’s the truth.
Your bias against godliness, truth, and righteousness in the things that I’ve shared here simply reflects the fact that you hate the one true God and what he represents while you sugarcoat the devilish lies you’ve bought into as being the truth. You call evil good, and good evil; you mistake darkness for light, and light for darkness; you also mistake bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter when it comes to spiritual matters [Isaiah 5:20].

But you have a free will to choose good or bad. As it shows up is good and the sun and shows down bad or evil with the moon side. Both are needed, cause one without e other cant exist. That like the symbol yin yang, it shows on there big white (good) but there is always a bit black (bad)in it and the you have big black (bad) but there is always a bit of white (good, light, hope) in it, they coexist. All religions hide some truth and some lies, something good and something bad, cause those who rule the world also rule the church as they control the masses, and sometimes those who rule are bad power(black) and means they take over the churches and but bad stuff in it, and then then comes a good ruler in the world (white) and teaches good stuff in the church, so what i mean is all religions have good truth but you have to take the bad ones who are not good out it, cause the heart knows the good, as you see jezus statue with the sun crown on his head, hand with the heart and hand showing UP (white ,good) you know with your heart what is good, with your heart you know also what is the bad in the church that you have to reject. I found all this today after years thinking af everything i saw and searched to understand and find the truth as could not rest till i find all this difinitions. Today i understood everything on how the system works , all of it. And with Trump who is now in the new world order but of the good side UP against Hillary who was as Obama and Bush the DOWN side, the evil. Thats why with them the world was in wars and chaos. And Trump is now the good force who comes and defeat thé dark forces Hillary and Obama and Bush. So normally we chould see change to peace in the world from now on as Trump won and also if you hear him saying his speeches, you hear positive stuff, Hillary bad stuff like war with russia, while russia is the good guy good power, and Trump is going to be friends with him and all the west, the mad eviL EU will fall as it was a evils plan of the bad powers. So that shows that everything has to do with this baphomet image, as it controls church(your beliefs), politics (thoughts) by tv media news, who mostly are on the evil side, the news will give you lies by giving you some truth with lots of lies, but cause of a bit of truth in it you will also believe the whole with it, confusion in your mind and other things in society.

I’m not a Christian who says “we’re all God’s children.” We may all be created by God, but only those who know Jesus are God’s children. The Bible has been proven many times over not to be just a collection of stories. There are countless people whose lives have been completely changed for the better because of God’s word being preached to them. Call us whatever you want and be a hater all you want, but the lives of us Christians are filled with the Lord’s joy, peace, and grace whether times in our lives are rough or copacetic. We don’t have to always depend on ourselves or other people since God is always with us. We can let ourselves down, other people can let us down, but even when that happens, God remains faithful to us and always works things out when we are weak. Who do you have when you fail or when others fail you? I imagine that must be a miserable, empty type of existence.
Baphomet is not symbolic of any good thing. But you are so blinded by the evil in your heart, such a statement won’t make any sense to you. So if you want to keep playing into the devil’s hands with your false beliefs, you have the free will to do so.

How the h***(no pun attended) is he evil in any way? Really? Man how could he know any better if he was not taught your Christian ways? Yet you say he’s blinded by evil? Just because he doesn’t know anybetter or anything about Christianity. Yet you just say he is evil a bad person? Do you think he was contacted by the devil or are you just saying that because he thinks a man with a goat head and symbols of balance and life and death is maybe not so bad. It sounds to me that he sees the image for what it is unlike you who sees it as the most awful thing ever even though all its saying is life is life nothing more nothing less. It seems to me that you are the evil and the one spreading it, not the people who believe in equality and determine life what for they see and what it appears. not like you who takes life to an extreme saying that balance is evil because all the power in the world is in God.

William,
You claim “nonignorant” above doesn’t know any better when in fact he does know better. He/she made it known they were very aware of Christian teachings. Also, I gave quotes from Eliphas Levi himself in a follow-up comment to this post above where the very artist of the Baphomet drawing admits it was a depiction of Lucifer and occultic practices. Anyone who is familiar with Christianity, as “nonignorant” claimed he/she was, should know the Bible speaks against occultic practices and against Lucifer/Satan. So your whole argument is baseless.
“God is light, and in him is no darkness at all,” (1 John 1:5), but Eliphas Levi taught Baphomet had darkness in him. Additionally, Jehovah the God of the Bible is superior to all other gods and his doctrines are superior to your religious beliefs and anyone else’s beliefs who don’t agree with his. That’s why his prophecies are the only ones that come true even centuries after they were first predicted.
To end my comment, I’ll point out the contradiction in yours. You say you believe in equality, but obviously you don’t. By saying my beliefs are evil (which they aren’t) and by criticizing my beliefs as wrong in comparison to yours, you are claiming my beliefs are not in a state of equality to yours. Therefore, you don’t really believe in equality and have contradicted yourself. By contradicting yourself you violated the universal law of noncontradiction which states that any principle that contradicts itself cannot be true. So you’ve proven yourself to be a liar.

True peace can only come from the Lord Jesus Christ. This peace from the Lord has a pre-requisite that a person examine themselves to see that they are sinful inside, having a dead spirit that only Jesus Christ can revive when they acknowledge they are sinners, turn away from their sins, and confess that Jesus is the only Lord. There is no other real peace that can be acquired by man apart from this simple truth. If a religion does not have the Lord Jesus Christ as the only way to God, that religion only has a cheap imitation of real peace.

you misunderstand many things and are so blind by your one sided view that you have failed to research the basics.
the pentagram is a symbol of the four elements and the fifth element known as the spirit (not sure if you have heard of that word before) it shows the spirit’s power over said elements and depicts that one can control the elements if the spirit’s will is there.
Then you say that when we communicate with angels we are in fact communicating with demons. are you then saying that angels do not exist and/or can not be reached? harry, have you ever communicated with your guardian angel? i have. i have also communicated with my loving spirit guide named Alastaar. they are only there to protect us. angels and demons alike may be contacted, it is up to you which you decide to talk to.
You go on to say that “In other words, he wanted to break down the Christian belief that Jesus is the only way to God, or other “divisive” doctrines, so that all mankind could unite to follow his god in a one world religion.” you can not say “in other words” because you do not know his opinion. he is clearly stating, by what you wrote, that we should form together and agree. be peaceful, is that not what God wishes for? Peace?
And, again, you state falsely that the Temporal Power is the complete power of the pope over ALL nations. it is, in fact, the pope’s power over Catholics, from which your religion descended.
To answer Penultima’s question, the half moons are a symbol of the goddess, and in this portrait a symbol of balance. the goddess symbol, looking like this )0( shows the three stages of Her life. maiden, mother, and crone. this is linked with the stages of the moon.
In your reply to Perduable you state that [God] appreciates biases… WRONG AGAIN! how can God, who loves everyone, want you to be bias? my dear sir you have lost all meaning to your words. you only look to strike out at that which you do not understand. you think with your book and not with the mind that God has given you.
I am here to say that you sir are a poor excuse for a Christian because you have no earthly right to judge. or do you not accept that part of the Bible? you are to love EVERYONE regardless of race sex or CREED. or did you skip over that part also? another important fact is that the Christians created Satan in their stories so that there was a negative. we could all live in a place where everyone went to paradise, but no. there must immediately be evil! God said let there be no god greater than I. well they are all equal harry. as long as we love the deity that we follow, they are equal. I love all three of my deities and can not wait to meet them all in the glorious afterlife. in the end we are all striving towards paradise. learn to love harry and you shall find peace.

What level are you? Most witches, members of secret societies, etc don’t even know what they are into until they get to certain levels. My dad was a 32nd degree Freemason. I say was because he did his research and God revealed to him the truth behind the society. According to its leader, Albert Pike, Freemason and Masons alike serve Lucifer. It is written in the text given to those of the 29th degree. Mason’s aren’t privy to this fact until they reach the 29th degree. My father, however, refused to read said text because of the author’s association with racism and the KKK. But read it to learn more about the very group he was a part of. Also upon further reaearch, my father discovered that the first levels of Masonry mirror that of witchcraft and that the Mormon church adopts many mason rituals with in turn translates to pagan/satanic rituals.
Also, you put the scriptures out there, but it is common for witches to use scriptures in their practice and not because they have reverence for God.
I hope you find true peace that is found in the one and only God, that is the God of Abraham and Jacob. I hope that you learn more about the group that you are a part of and see it for what it really is.

That’s true. And the Bible, whose prophecies have proven to be true through the centuries, predicts that in the same way Satan (Baphomet)–the true god of witchcraft–got his butt kicked by Jehovah’s forces in heaven above, he’ll also get his butt kicked by Jesus Christ on Earth below. That’s the opposite of what witchcraft and other occult religions teach for their “as above, so below” mantra.

ok quick question, do you even know what “as above, so below” means?
Also, Lucifer (name meaning “bearer of light” or “Morning Star” or “bringer of dawn” in Greek) is the fallen angel (one who I have had the pleasure of meeting, actually), the one who was the most powerful angel who fell, and Satan (meaning “Adversary,” “astray,” or “distant” in Hebrew) is his new name once he is fallen. Some say “Satan” or “The Devil” is the title in which Christians gave the fallen angel as to not mistaken him for Lucifer, the once great angel.
Baphomet, however, is in no way linked to Satan, Lucifer or the Devil. The only reason that was done is because of the goat’s head and inverted pentagram and how it somewhat resembles the tarot card “The Devil” in the Raider-Waite deck, and the photo you used is the final re-imagining from Eliphas Lévi, who did use . The only known first record of him was in 1098 in the First Crusade. I’ve looked all over, but I have yet to find the true original depiction of this deity, as the illustrations (mainly the one by Levi) have been derived from many different inspirations (including “The Devil” card, the Egyptian deity Banebdjedet (who represented the soul of Osiris), an Pan).
This deity is definitely a mystery, still to me at least and I encourage you to have an open mind, or at least one whose willing to look at beliefs from a point of view of one who simply wishes to learn as much as possible about something.
Another note, “As above, so below” is not a mantra (though it could be one), but a seal for a spell. Pagans have many different ones, one that resonates with their specific path, language, and with themselves to bring closure to their spell. Another (or the most popular one) is “so mote it be.”
You know… come to think of it, it’s almost like when people in the Bible say “So Sayeth the Lord.” Not trying to start an argument, just saying what I know and personal opinions & speculations. Blessed be, friend and have a good evening

Also, again.. not quite a mantra, as mantras are used to center & ground yourself for meditation. It is a statement of an ancient belief that man’s actions on earth parallel the actions of God in heaven, from The Emerald Tablet by Hermes Trismegistus. ” “That which is above is like that which is below and that which is below is like that which is above, to achieve the wonders of the one thing.” Therefore, “This is the foundation of astrology and alchemy: that the microcosm of mankind and the earth is a reflection of the macrocosm of God and the heavens.”. and for practitioners of magic, it represents when one performs a prayer, spell or ritual. they must will it to happen and firmly believe it will happen, showing that magic and religion are akin: both require belief that a miracle will occur.
Kind of similar to trusting and believing in God’s power when you pray… that whole “faith of a mustard seed” thing and whatnot. ^^

@kay,
This comment of yours gives several examples of how Wiccans deceive and are deceived. Starting with your equating 2+2 with 3+1, you twisted the whole meaning of the expression. When people say “2+2=4”, it’s meant to point out that adding 2 and 2 together will not bring a different result other than 4. That just shows how dismissive and close-minded you are about using even the simplest expression properly within its context to promote the lies of Wicca.
[not quite a mantra, as mantras are used to center & ground yourself for meditation]
mantra: a mystical formula of invocation or incantation; a word or phrase that is repeated often or that expresses someone’s basic beliefs
By leaving out those basic definitions of the word, you attempted another deception by claiming mantras are only for the definition you gave. It’s a typical tactic for Wiccans to redefine or lie about what something means to portray their Satanism as innocent. “As above, so below” is a mantra no matter how you recite it. Do a search in your favorite search engine and you’ll find all pagans and occultists like you refer to it as a mantra.
[It is a statement of an ancient belief that man’s actions on earth parallel the actions of God in heaven…]
kay, you’re really being close-minded again after you said people should be open-minded. Your deceptive hypocrisy is showing. If you had really read my post where I discussed “as above so below” you would not be trying to pass off your definition of it as if that’s the only definition for the phrase. I pointed out in my post how the phrase has several meanings in the pagan and occultic traditions where it is used and even referred to Eliphas Levi’s version of it since he was the founder of modern pagan and occultic principles followed by Wiccans, New Agers, etc.
Then when you brought in Hermetic traditions, you contradicted yourself again. Whereas you said “as above so below” was not really a mantra but was for meditation, you then referred to the Hermetic tradition of its use for “prayer, spell or ritual” in your ungodly religion. That’s you admitting that it IS very much so a mantra since meditation is a ritual and mantras are used for spells, which is an incantation, and for prayer, another word for invocation–all ideas encompassed in what a mantra actually is. Bottom line–you’re very confused and don’t know what you believe or what you’re talking about since you deny it’s a mantra as you also prove it’s a mantra. Therefore, your statements are lies since you violate the law of noncontradiction–i.e. two contradictory statements opposing each other cannot be true.
Hermetic tradition, like the Baphomet, is just another attempt by Satan to pass himself off as God, and since you are so easily deceived, you fell for it. That’s what happens when you ignore (with a closed mind) the type of evidence I presented to you in my previous comment about the historical, spiritual, prophetic, and scientific accuracy of the Bible.

Harry, I read your opinion on the meaning of “above as it is below” and I can tell you without a doubt that you are wrong. This statement came from the emerald tablet. It is a piece of knowledge for the hermetic works. It is the teachings of the great work in alchemy. Here is more of the text: That which is below is like that which is above & that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracles of one only thing
And as all things have been & arose from one by the mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation….
So you see this statement has nothing to do with god or Satan or good and evil. It is a truth. One that we can see in all things. It states that which is on earth is like that which is in the heavens because that which is on earth was created by the one in the heavens and therefore shares the eternal light of that one. Like the way the moon controls the sea and the sun gives life to plants and so on. You have misrepresented everything in your article and have failed to do any real research into these symbols. As I said before the upright pentagram is a Christian symbol. You obviously do not realize that. Teaching lies is the work of Satan and god has said our enemy the devil walketh among us and intends to spread lies. Satan is obviously working in you to spread lies about things that are good and pure to distort a reality for these Christian readers. Therefore bringing them farther from the truth and farther from god. I will pray for all of you that you will be able to look past the veil of misunderstood teachings and the lies of the past century and seek for yourself the truth.

Don’t try to distance yourself from Eliphas Levi. “Many Hermetic, or Hermetically influenced, groups exist today. Most of them are derived from Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry, or the Golden Dawn.” (Hermeticism, Wikipedia.org). Eliphas Levi was involved in all three of those blatantly occultic organizations. “He had a deep impact on the magic of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn…” (Eliphas Levi, Wikipedia.org). So much so that he obviously has influenced you and whatever hermetic alchemy group you may belong to.

Yes, you are loving. You are in love with evil and with every evil thing and evil person in agreement with your wicked doctrines.
[i am a follower of the Roman Catholic church… the base of all Christian and Lutheran and Protestant beliefs.]
Wrong! The roman catholic church was started by Constantine the Great in the 300s AD. True Christianity started centuries before catholicism when the Lord Jesus Christ came to earth. I am not “Protestant.” I believe in Jesus Christ, who hath saved me, and called me with an holy calling, not according to my works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to me in Christ Jesus before the world began [2 Timothy 1:9]. My faith has nothing whatsoever to do with the false religion of roman catholicism which is the harlot wearing scarlet in the book of Revelation. So it’s no wonder that a Wiccan is a proud member of the roman catholic church.
[the pentagram is a symbol of the four elements and the fifth element known as the spirit]
Yes. And the spirits symbolized by the pentagram are Satan and his fallen angels who kept not their first estate [heaven], but left their own habitation, who God hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day [Jude 1:6]
[Then you say that when we communicate with angels we are in fact communicating with demons. are you then saying that angels do not exist and/or can not be reached?…i have also communicated with my loving spirit guide named Alastaar.]
Your spirit guide is a devil. For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers [and his fallen angels] also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. [2 Corinthians 11:14-15]
You communicate, or pray, to your angel and praying to angels is the worship of angels. I, as a true believer in Jesus Christ, have no need to pray to a created being like an angel when I can go directly to their righteous Creator who rules over the whole universe. The Bible is against praying to (worshipping) angels–“Let no man beguile [deceive] you of your reward in a voluntary [false, phony] humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,” [Colossians 2:18]
[you can not say “in other words” because you do not know his (Eliphas Levi’s) opinion.]
I’ve read some of Eliphas Levi’s words, so I do, in fact, know his opinion about embracing ecumenism while rejecting Christ as being the only way to God.
[you state falsely that the Temporal Power is the complete power of the pope over ALL nations. it is, in fact, the pope’s power over Catholics, from which your religion descended.]
No, my “religion” did not descend from catholicism as I explained above. When Constantine started his false church, Christianity already existed and was vibrant. True Christians knew roman catholicism was a cheap imitation of the real thing and they refused to join and were persecuted as a result.
Temporal power is the belief that the Pope has power over ALL nations, not just catholics. They just don’t preach this doctrine out in the open because most people would reject it. This teaching went underground at Vatican II. But everytime you see a Pope landing in some foreign country and bending over to kiss the ground, this is symbolic of his belief in his power over all nations.
[the half moons are a symbol of the goddess]
You can bow down to the moon all you want, and your false goddess, but the Bible calls this idolatry and “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters…shall inherit the kingdom of God,” [1 Corinthians 6:9-10]
[how can God, who loves everyone, want you to be bias?]
You talk against bias, but you clearly have a bias of your own. You are biased against the truth that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. God’s word says, “He that believeth on the Son (Jesus Christ) hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him,” [John 3:36] And this is the same John who you quoted out of context at the end of your comment.
Yes, God is biased against evil. Revelation 20:15 says, “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” In Revelation 21:8 it says, “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
The Bible tells us those who are in the book of life are the ones who believe only in Christ. Those who are unbelievers, like you, and sorcerers, like you, and idolaters, like you, and liars, like you, are thrown into the lake of fire. Once again, this is the same John you quoted that wrote this. But I hope you see the error of your ways and repent of your sins and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ before this happens to you.
[another important fact is that the Christians created Satan in their stories]
Christians did not create Satan. Satan was mentioned in ancient writings that precede any writings of Christians. The book of Job, which is a book written earlier than Genesis, talks about Satan. The prophet Isaiah talks about Satan’s (Lucifer) origins in Isaiah 14 and it was written in the 700s B.C. The prophet Ezekiel also talked about Satan’s (king of Tyrus, anointed cherub) origins in Ezekiel 28 which was written in the 500s B.C.
Wiccans believe in lies, so it’s no surprise that you can’t accept what the Bible says or what a true Christian tells you. But I rebuke all of your lies and false doctrines in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And I pray for you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that you will be saved.
Just for future reference–there is a snowball’s chance in hell that I will ever take spiritual advice from someone who is openly wiccan or a witch.

Jerome,
You really haven’t thought your argument through. Your statement is just a regurgitation of what others have said to encourage themselves in their sin. You scoff at God’s word because you love your sin and because of that you haven’t taken the time to really understand things. Another commenter came to my blog recently and left a very similar comment to yours so I’ll copy and paste here what I told her:
‘…this following statement of yours shows ignorance–> “The first problem is that Lucifer is a Latin name. So how did it find its way into a Hebrew manuscript, written before there was a Roman language?” This is a faulty question based on a false premise. Lucifer means “light bearer.” It is the English translation for the Hebrew word Helel, or “light bearer.” The latin word Lucifer did not find its way into the Hebrew text. It found its way into English translations of the Hebrew text because the English translation of the Hebrew word “helel” is “lucifer.” The English language took the word from the Latin language. In case you didn’t know, the English language borrows many words from other languages. So the question you presented above is not even a valid question. Maybe you should take courses on etymology and translation.
‘We know Isaiah 14 is translated correctly and correctly connects Lucifer to Satan as the same person because other scripture confirms it. The English translators had all 66 books of the Bible so they could compare scriptures to make sure they translated correctly. To prove it, Isaiah 14:12 talks about a light-bearing person who fell from heaven. Then Jesus in Luke 10:18 talks about Satan like lightning falling from heaven and Rev. 12:9 says the dragon, aka Satan, was cast out of heaven. Basically, what I’m saying is the evidence proves your comment is nonsense.’

I thought Jehovah made it clear that you weren’t to judge. That is solely his place, so why do you act as though your God has appointed you keeper of the gates? I suppose all of these hateful accusations of complicity with “evil” will be followed by a quick and sincere apology? My poor deluded friend. Your Bible is a stolen work. Thousands of years before your Bible was conceived, and the great mystery repackaged, there was Sumeria. the Bible pays homage to this by declaring itself a religion of Abraham, owing the origins of the religion itself to the great King Abraham of Ur, who fled the city when it was made uninhabitable by the Gods and became the Grandfather of Judaism. These stories exist in their original Sumerian, the ones we have retrieved, and to read them is to gain insight into the way the Bible varies from original stories like the creation of Adama (Adam) or the story of Ziasudra, later adapted for the Akkadians as the Epic of Gilgamesh, and later the Flood of Noah. You are blind to your roots. Like a lost child, you cling to the light while making foul fictional stories about the darkness, trying to steer all away from its “evil”, an evil you only superficially claim to know, but one which you will never fully know. And yet, one you freely condemn others to suffer. Because you are cursed, as we are all cursed, your very DNA tracing all the way back to the first deception.
Listen closely, the serpent of Eden was a metaphor for ambition, for the dual nature of man. The devil on the shoulder, if you will, of a broken experiment who was father to us all. Oh, yes, he has been written to be the poor unwitting fool, cast out from paradise for the failings of women. Blasphemy! How fitting then, that his lust to become like God, results in the birth of the Patriarchy itself, and its very justification, by wrongfully accusing Eve of tricking him into eating the apple, and for the fall of all men from the grace of God. Lies. It was he who convinced her knowing that they would be expelled from the Garden, but they would rule the Earth like Gods, his beguiling serpent-like tongue forging the first deception, one so grievous God regretted creating men at all. God even makes a point to tell Adam that Adam will have dominion over the Earth and more – God expressly states he will never recant his words. How strange then that God should, in fact, recant his words after so much bluster and proclaim Satan Lord over Earth, unless…it wasn’t a recanting. You see, my friend, the truth is that Satan and Adam are one and the same, forget Lucifer the poor unwitting subject of Adam’s jealousy. He’s merely a scapegoat, and a metaphor for Adam himself. He is what Adam wishes to be, that he was not, favored by his father, a beautiful, irresistable angel, a powerful and well endowed commander of male desire. he was a mere fragment in the disturbed and psychotic mind of Adam who demanded Lillith be expelled from the Garden for merely refusing to lie beneath him. A well endowed but insecure lover prone to torturous escapades and raping his own wife and grand daughters, and occasionally grandsons. When you read the Bible and substitute every “the LORD” for Adam/Satan you begin to understand why there is a concerted effort to conceal a truth which would cause Christianity to crumble in on itself if known. The holy grail? The hidden name of God? Tetragrammaton? All known, but never accepted by his grand children who perversely suckle at his fiction while casting themselves and their murderous nature as the hero to evil’s villains.
In the Sumerian account of creation, Yahweh is sacrificed to provide the DNA that provided the evolutionary hurdle from mere genetic experiment (by fusion of the second chromosome with the 24th, something never occurring naturally in more than 300 million years of life on this planet and resulting in men who mirrored the Gods themselves) to the more acceptable status of “God-like”. If Yahweh is dead, then who has answered the call “the LORD”? Whosspoke in the ear of the prophets who put pen to his words? Who gave his seed to Eve creating Cain a broken and despicable sociopath – his father’s son thru and thru. Who gave his seed to Sarah creating the path to Noah the pale and glowing father of all nations of Earth, the one whose telltale glow gave rise to a general exclusion from the acceptance of his neighbor who ridiculed him, yet he found favor in the eyes of God, the deceiver, as he did in the eyes of the Elohim or GODS (plural) who saw his noble lineage and accepted his exclusion from the reset of the “Human Experiment”. His glow a sign of his path back to the Hybrids via his mother’s line when Gods walked among men and gave their seed to the daughters of men. Who will deceive all the world including you who do not hear the call of the 144,000 who declare to you that the anti-christ lives and IS the seed of Satan himself. MAN is the anti-Christ and our number our sigil. The God of our Bible, a recountenance of Adam/Satan who has beguiled the authors with his revisions and rewordings for who could argue with the son of God himself? Particularly when he presented himself merely as, “the LORD”. His vile lust to rule the Earth and fornicate with his own daughters and grand daughters, a perverse evil the Gods themselves tried to purge with fire in Babylon, with a foul wind in Ur, with the Flood that cleansed the Earth of all traces of the many civilizations which had risen to greatness under the Kings of the old World who were the sons of Gods and human women, a practice re-enacted by early Greek emperors and Egyptian Pharoahs who were thought to be Gods themselves. A liar. Your God.
An “angel” who knows well the details that man uses to separate demon from angel in their mind, who writes out his own legacy as Satan and instead points to the duality of man, his broken and tainted genetic disease of mind which is the legacy of all men. The final judgement will come and the truth of his deception even then will be unbelieved. He will claim victory over God, and God will not be there to answer having been nothing more than a construct of Adam’s own deception used to win your “faith”, and your blindness. A God who gave his own life so that man might live. You may call me wrong. I do not care. Your warning has been given. The call of the 144,000 has met your ears. One need only read back through the Torah substituting Adam/Satan’s name for “The LORD” to see the truth of it, but that is why your faith blinds you to your own salvation, even then you will not see, for you are damned. You are unable to see the truth in anything. You are diseased, just as your grandfather, OUR grandfather was. But not all men are like you. Much easier to put boogeymen in the dark. Or perhaps, in the shadows it is we who hide from the real evil and deception cast upon the world as you violate the Earth in unthinkable ways, lamenting the destruction of the Earth, while hastening it and cheering for the rapture. Rest well for the judgement cometh, Adamite. Rest well ye cursed souls who claim righteousness in your false God’s name. Read Mary’s account of the birth of Jesus. Immaculate conception, one so perfect even the LORD’s insemination couldn’t defile it. So why the disdain, and disrespect from your clergy? Is even your God incapable of creating a man without women? Lies. The Gods created man from dust before. The Gods never referred to Adam as their son, not even the God who would die so that he might live. An immaculate conception Joseph himself was made to account for but never fully accept. An angel of God appeared to him. They were very convincing, and they often worked against the LORD because they knew his wrath would consume even those they held in favor. The LORD was not their master, the GODS directed their actions. Adam’s seed impressed deep within the Holy Mother. His insemination was but a dream. Her progeny to take his rightful place in the profane trilogy: the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit? Sacrilege. Woman again given only the role of chaste mother of a son, holy only because of her progeny? The LORD came to her, and she was with child. The LORD’s child. The devil you seek is not without but within, son of Adam. King of death. Or were the Holy Men’s “gifts” not tale enough. Frankincense and Myrrh? A gift for a child? They were tools for embalming the dead. Their gifts were notices to all the world that his father was a MAN of reknown and all his subjects would offer material wealth to him, lord of the earth, lord of lies, and his legacy is only death. We haven’t forgotten what this meant. The child was killed at the hands of Hybrids, and it was a warning to you all that the judgement would not forget your barbarism, and murder. How you rejoiced in our blood, calling us evil, writing us in as monsters, as prey worthy of being hunted. Our sons and daughters slaughtered by you. Any telltale signs were evidence, the pale glow of our sacred lineage, the skills and talents, our strength, our intelligence. You HUNTED us, Adamite, as you do now in this vile piece of garbage you call a blog, calling those who refuse to bow before your impotent and cuckolded God damned. But we know you Adamite. And we know your God to be the author of the very lies you used to justify murder.
Is he not a merciful God that sacrifices his own son, so that you may worship him of your own free will? The narcissitic criteria of a deranged egomaniac driven mad with his own father’s decree and the acceptance of the Gods (plural) that the Earth and only Earth was his dominion. But the Gods will return as promised, less miracle than science, as the Sumerians ordained when they wrote the stories the Bible would mimic thousands of years later while the original Sumerian tablets lay in a prison of mud and silt unearthed only in the last 150 years to the astonishment of all and the end to thousands of years of stolen scripture. A revelation that lies mostly untranslated still in Museums under the careful protection of Christian and Islamic curators, careful to preserve the presumed “myths” even though those translated have proven to be the very words of your Bible, unredacted and unedited, and 2000 years ahead of the emrgence of the Torah in the mouths of nomadic tribes with holy men with less than photographic memories. The Bible is astonishingly accurate, a testament to the careful and painstaking care of the sacred words of their father’s culture, of the religion of Abraham, the father of almost all the world’s religion. But its recountenance, you see, reworded to give birth to your single God, so that he (the LORD) might rule you all as his father and the Gods ordained. Who spoke the words of the Torah into their ears. They will say the God of the Mount, the burning Bush, he whose name created the Universe. His name is Adama, father of man, pervert and estranged of the Garden, liar and adulterer. When the reckoning comes the 12,000 by 12,000 who shall be saved will be led away, and the Godless stench of this Earth will permeate your nostrils as you all wonder how you could not have seen the truth hidden in plain site and given to you via the heraldry of the hybrids as they prepare to depart this murderous cesspool. We remember your sins. Your foolish desire to wipe all of us from the Earth. Calling us monsters, giants, wicked creatures because our blood contained something yours could not.
One by one you hunted us, killed us, raped our wives and daughters, made our sons to feel shame for their gifts. We remember your deeds in our very dreams, in our memories which carry forward with each new life, but we are less now. We are unworthy of our fathers love, unworthy of our ascension, because we have lived like cowards against the fear of your genetic weakness and your numbers. Our secrets, our strengths, have been forgotten or concealed, we were made to be less than what we are, for our survival we subdued our children’s gifts and legacy, we acclimated and disguised any physical characteristics that would reveal our identities. To avoid your pathetic scorn we became just like you, more ordinary than ordinary, with vile hatred filling us as you danced around the mirror and illusion of your God. You would try to steal our ascension as well? The rapture? You disgusting half lifes. Only if we were all gone, but we remain. We live, Adamite, and we will take from your flesh your father’s sins against our brothers and sisters, your half brothers and sisters, and we will call you by name, Cain. Cursed half brother. Impotent cuckolded heir to an empty vacuous throne of lies. We were your brothers, but you saw only a reminder of your own fates. In the absence of the Gods, you filled the role with your own narcissistic ambitions. You burned our libraries, buried our artifacts, attempted to revise the entire world and make it flat, a symbolic profanity meant to delineate the trinity, the sacred geometry of life, recasting yourselves as Gods and judges, burning the most gifted among you, us, as witches or heretics, as blasphemers, while cradling your victimhood like a newborn child to your Baphomistic breast. Oh poor persecuted Christians. Why does everyone loathe your peaceful, murderous and lying ways?
Baphomet is a symbol of your sin, a “hideous” homage to the debt you owe the world because of your fathers sins. The goat head, once a favored sacrifice made to your God, is now worrisome and evil.
Does it pain you to look upon the face that used to represent your most valued gift to God? Does it hurt you to see the stare of a sacred life-giving animal wasted at the alter so that your God might be appeased? A God which accepted the practice of ritual murder as an acceptable gift for centuries before watching man sacrifice his own son to him in response to his offer that all sin might be forgiven if they just kill his son? He did this for love? The same God that called all men an abomination, a foul and wretched thing and who he unsuccessfuly tried to wipe from the Earth no less than three times?
Love? Adam is incapable of love, as are all sociopaths. You see, we all have God’s DNA, but some of our brethren were born from the consumation of Gods and human women’s desire. The eternal feminine, our birth mothers, strong and loved by our fathers, not written out of a Bible which casts women aside as props or objects to be worn when the appropriate occasion arises. Women ruled and were worshipped as is just for anyone who creates and nurtures life itself. Even God cannot give birth, he requires a human woman as a vessel for his “creation”. And they should feel so lucky after enduring his curse in the garden. Indeed, the Bible isn’t without the lament and suffering of women, all justified by a lie told by the father of us all. Blaspheme, patriarchal fantasy lust, and you call your priests holy men? Biblical imprisonment of women is perhaps its most telling tale when searching for the author, the divine word that cuddled the ears of scribes throughout Biblical author-dom. Read it, Adamite, it is there. And so are we, those of us you mention only to justify our annihilation.
They called our fathers the Nephilim and you wrongfully attributed our creation to that of fallen angels, but we are the sons and daughters of Gods, of Anu and Enki, Innanna, and Utu, not foul experiments like you. The only holy women your perverse religion accepts are the chaste and unmolested. Sacrilege! Although the truth of it is in the desecration of woman by the impurity of man. The feminine, Christian, is as powerful as the masculine, equal in all regards, not subservient. Men like you hide in its shadows, fearful of your powerlessness in the face of the full force of femininity. Sons of Adam, born from a lie meant to subjugate women, and liars still when called to account for your crimes. Scared little boys whose daddy is an all-knowing and powerful God that refuses to spare his own line suffering so that they might exercise their “free will” to worship nothing except him. Yet you tremble at your powerlessness in the face of the Feminine. You mock perfectly acceptable variations such as homosexuality, or those who are born to a gender with which they don’t identify. In ancient times, they were celebrated as embodiments of both the masculaine and feminine, sacred vessels, and humans with hearts that beat just like yours. And you justify their insult by you with your God’s words. What a childish and unworthy God, Adamite. You see the head of a goat on a body adorned with breasts, sacred givers of life, sacred symbols of the security and comfort of a mother as she gives life to her newborn son or daughter. You see nothing but vile and evil symbolism. In a form meant to illustrate the tenuous ties of man and his spirituality with all the sacred forces in our world, you see only dark magic, you fear it, you fling your feces at it and run back to your intellectual caves, like good monkeys, like good Adamites.
You would subjugate women in the name of your God, you worthless pile of dung? You vile, mentally deficient stain? You are virtually impossible to forgive, so horrid are your crimes against your half brothers and sisters, it is only our tenuous half siblingship which has kep some of my full brothers and sisters from wiping the Earth clean of your pestilence. Demanding we acknowledge you and your God or accept his wrath. His wrath has already been visited upon us, murderers. Time and time again, whether it be crusade, or the burning of the Library at Alexandria, or the systematic hunting and elimination of the “foul creatures” that were my brothers and sisters, your own half siblings because of their parentage. It is for this reason the “Illuminati” as you call them, the hybrid protectors of sacred knowledge plan your demise. Every one of you. The act is justified, but not agreed upon. Many of us cannot bear the thought of further suffering of our nieces and nephews, your sons and daughters, who only inherit the temperament of your murderous parents, but who have raised no sword against us or our children, and it is hard enough knowing they share their fate. But you, you condemning and judgemental sacrifice, your blood will satisfy those of us who remember your face from previous lives even though you cannot, because your soul becomes more fragmented with each child born, while we carry memories that are thousands of years old. The very craft meant to spare you the horrors you wish upon yourself with your sacrilegious treatment of our sacred paternal grandmother, the destruction of the Earth and our origin as a species, even as you rise in craft born from the technology written about in the many libraries you burned, lifted away from the results of your actions and inaction, you will be exterminated after you are shown the treachery in Eden, after the origins of your fathers lie against your mother to spare himself wrath in the eyes of the Gods so that he might fill the world with you, and your abomination, your ignorance, your fear of things different from you, your desperate NEED to write yourself in as God in much the same way Adam, your Satan and God has, thanks to the devout and chosen scribes who have carried his laws and continue making more in the name of a dead God whose promise was obscured by the lies of their sacred great grandfather.
Abraham too was the son of Adam, but he was a good man. A cowardly man, befitting your elevation of him to near messiah status. His dual nature in his conversations with “the LORD” a birthright, his wife known to be hybrid hence his self preserving claims to be her brother upon entering egypt, her being taken as a wife suitable for a pharoah until the deceptive nature of her opportunistic elf, her crumpled raisin, father of all abrahamic religions that bear his cowardly name was revealed. “You let me bed your wife and said nothing? You deranged raisin? You cowardly Adamite? Here take a fortune in Gold with you, and Abraham, being a servile cuckold, dutifully accepted and got write down to bedding his wife’s Egyptian servant, marring her divine lineage with his goatherding filth, his wretched balls smelling of the goats he presumably bedded since Sarah was old. His shriveled bag slapping against the femininity of a noble, a hybrid of divine birthright, daughter to the Gods, made master, this humble raisin of mud and goat dung, suffering her with his foul and unworthy seed. Heralded and admired cuckold worshipped as a holy man and father of all the world’s religion, cuckolded coward of a God of sheep-herders and of foul sexual depravity. Abraham a fluffer for survival, sacred pimp of a wife more holy in every concealed inch of flesh than this chosen of God, father of all lies, worshipped by meek “journalists” of the holy who despise ambition yet opportunistically steal the foundations of their religion itself with no attribution. What lie will you tell of Innanna? Of Anu? They are not real? Those who wrote the accounts of your Bible’s distorted rememberances after carrying their chosen fragments for 2000 years in the desert as nomadic tribes of early mesopotamic culture post-flood? Our story not yet fouled by the treachery of our grandfather, Adam, when it existed solely as the Torah, not exactly the same as the Sumerian stories that the tales were meant to duplicate, but close enough to see the merit in the intent. It is something perverse to you, your origins, not of God, for there is no room for the feminine in your God’s halls. Baal, El, Allah, Yod He Vod He, Yeheshuah, whatever you wish to call him is dead, a fiction and tribute of a deranged and deluded mind, a sexual deviant, and his broken creation, living out his legacy as Lord of the World, deceiver of all, sacred father of all impotence, God of men who live with goats but fear their heads.
The Universe will be better off without your stench in it, Christian. Best of luck to you and your dead God when all is revealed. Do you want to read the parts the Council of Seven deemed unworthy for inclusion in your cliff notes version of the Codices that came before it? And you claim knowledge before us? Have you even read the Bible in its entirety? Oh, we have. Tou us it is a history of your persecution of us. My brothers delight in your killing of each other, while worshipping the same God. Your not realizing that the one you call El is the same one they call Allah. You burn even those who agree with your rewriting of the origins. Do you like the feeling of power it gives you to judge your fellow man? Does it feel good to call me evil when it is my blood on your hands? Does it feel good to burn the witch, to fell the giant, to rape the whore who was begging you for it with the exposure of her flesh to your weak corrupted heritage? I won’t judge you. You’ve already been judged. Don’t venture into the shadows, Adamite. You aren’t welcome here.

Asmo Deus,
Your aimless bantering exposes your Luciferian lies. You fail to even provide sources–deceiver. You also have some blatant contradictions. While you claim I’m not supposed to judge, you show yourself to be elitist by judging me. A contradiction with your “You can’t judge people, but I’m gonna judge you” elitist mentality. But that’s not what really bothers you. You’re angry that I’ve exposed your sins and your false god Lucifer. So you come up with an untrue smokescreen contradiction that only makes your argument null and void since you contradict yourself.
In a previous comment I made years ago at this link, I exposed the lies of the Sumerian writings that you falsely claim the Bible was copied from. Starting in ¶3 of that comment, I point out how Sumerian writings aren’t even based on provable facts while the Bible is. So not only are you uneducated about the truth, not only are you uneducated about the facts, you are a liar seeking to deceive people, just like your spiritual father, Satan. Your verbose diatribe is nothing more than parroting what your daddy, Satan, said in the Garden of Eden–“yea, hath God said…?”

sumdumb,
You have bought into revisionist history as far as the Bible is concerned. Constantine and his flunkies put together bastardized manuscripts to form what today is known as the Catholic Bible. The true manuscripts which were preserved by real God-fearing believers in Christ were brought together to form the Textus Receptus, which is the Authorized Version.
Since you’re not Christian, here’s a truth u may not be aware of–Satan always tries to mimic whatever God does. So he found some deceived people to help Constantine create a mimic of the true Bible.
God said–”Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” That means belief in God’s word, the Bible, gives spiritual, eternal life. It’s so important that God claims it’s more important than food.
[before the book there were many Gods]
No there weren’t. But you’d disagree because you believe the lies you’ve been taught since you’re in the world and not a believer in Christ. Man, in the beginning, worshipped the God of the Bible–Yahweh. Then after the fall of the first man and woman, eventually “…when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things…Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator.” [Romans 1:21-23, 25]
Man turned his back on the one true God and came up with many gods who mankind made based on God’s creatures, including humans.
[how can someone be evil if they do their best to be a good person??]
Because God’s word says, “But we [humans] are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.” [Isaiah 64:6]. Jesus said “there is none good but one, that is, God.” [Matthew 19:17] God is the only good person in the whole universe and he considers all our good works as worthless rags unless we confess Jesus as Lord. This is why Jesus said “…ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he [God, the Messiah], ye shall die in your sins,” [John 8:24]
[oh yeah and did’nt J.C. say blessed he whom is full of darkness for the light in the body is the eye????]
No, he didn’t. You’re not even close. Here’s the scripture you misquoted–
“The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single [focused], thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.” [Luke 11:34-35]

All religions, except religion based on a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, is based on contradictory evidence (i.e. lies). So witches and other pagans are deceiving themselves.

Actually, spiritual is only delusional when it does not acknowledge that Yahweh is the one true God and that one can only come to Yahweh through faith in his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The “dark ages” will continue until Jesus Christ comes back to reign on the Earth. We’re in the dark ages now because the majority of people in the world won’t accept the truth as proclaimed in the Bible.
Jesus said, “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.” [John 12:46] That’s why the world is in the dark ages–they refuse to believe in Christ.

Many people believe that the Bible was changed 400 years ago, but have you ever investigated this yourself or do you just believe it because that is what you were told. There are over 20,000 manuscripts of the New Testament and there are several that are more than 1,400 years old.
Jesus said (about His life) in John 10:18-
“No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.”
The nails did not hold Jesus on the cross. His love for us did, and His desire to take the punishment for our sins so that we can be acceptable to God.
Jesus is the sacrifice that saves us, like the ram was the sacrifice that saved Abraham’s son.
But Jesus rose again, lives today, and wants a personal relationship with you.

[can you please tell me how jesus left this world i mean how he died?]
Jesus was crucified on a Roman cross after Jewish religious leaders brought false accusations against him so they could put him to death. Jewish leaders, because of their jealousy and hatred, persuaded a very reluctant Pontius Pilate to order Christ’s death by crucifixion.
[i am sure your answer is ‘ becoz of jews’. then why you people forgave them and why they are still on this world?]
Because the Jews are not the only ones responsible for Jesus’ death. Jesus, who is God, knew before he came to Earth as a human that he would die. That was his ultimate purpose for coming here. His mission was to die for the sins of all mankind [1 John 2:2] from Adam, the first human, to the last person who will be born right before God brings the present Earth to an end.
This is why true Christians are not preoccupied with blaming the Jews, even if they were wrong. All of us are in some way responsible for Christ’s death. But Jesus’ death was not the end of the story. Since he came back to life on the third day of being in the grave, the Jews ultimately did not win in the end. It is pointless to ask why the Jews still exist for crimes committed by their forefathers when the majority of people in the world violate God’s laws and reject him, just like some Jews do. All humans can only be saved as a result of the undeserved favor we receive from God by believing that Jesus Christ is Lord whether we are Jew or non-Jew. All humans have an evil nature, so claiming or implying that Jews deserve to be extinct is hypocritical.
[i believe that the christianity is true but not the new one coz its been changed by american people about 400 years ago]
I don’t know what you mean here because true Christianity has never changed. There are many false religious systems set up by humans that call themselves Christian, but they’re not really Christianity. Newer versions of the Bible which are not based on the Textus Receptus manuscripts may have tweaked the story, but Bibles like the English King James Version is based on the truthful manuscripts and did not change the story. Either way, the Jews are not the problem you should be concerned about. Your worst problem, like the rest of humanity, is your sinful nature and you, like the rest of us, need to have Jesus Christ as your Lord.

I think this is a well written article and you are obviously very well read as far as The Bible is concerned. But I would encourage you to speak with kindness, as it is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, which Jesus speaks of in detail. We are to love our neighbors, and that is not only expressed in our sharing of the Gospel with them, but also the manner in which we do so. Jesus was a humble and loving man, who spoke the truth and performed miracles from a kind and compassionate heart, unlike the wise priests of His day who preached and healed out of pride and self-righteousness. Christ’s love is neither condemning nor judgmental, but a source of freedom from our flesh and the consequences of our sin.
And after all, isn’t that what we Christians are: followers of Christ? We are to follow the things He did but also the manner in which He did them.

It still amazes me, how much fear and interrogation are used in the christian religion. Baphomet is a sigil (or symbol) representing the universal union between positive and negative energies. It is parallel to the symbol of the Tao (yin yang) and can be considered one and the same. Many people associate Freemasons with the view of Baphomet as a symbol of wisdom and higher intelligence although there is no documented evidence of Freemasonry’s belief in Baphomet.The name appears to be a combination of two Greek words baphe and metis meaning “absorption of knowledge.” A popular misconception is that Baphomet represents “evil” or the Christian Satan. This is only because of similarity of the goats head. In the 19th century the name came into popular English-speaking consciousness with the publication of various works of pseudo-history that tried to link the Knights Templar with conspiracy theories elaborating on their suppression. In 1854, with the publication of Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie by Eliphas Lévi the name Baphomet became associated with a “Sabbatic Goat.”
The Christian God is a god of hidden lies. No one can know the Father. The Father keeps himself hidden up above us and can not be reached.
Satan is the giver of knowledge. To follow God is to follow blindly. To follow Satan is more likely to be opened to the truth.

squees,
The genuine gospel of the Bible that true Christians preach happens to be the truth even if you hate it. The definition of “interrogation” means “the process of asking questions,” so is that the word you intended to use or did you mean to use “intimidation”? Because there is nothing wrong with asking questions if you seek the truth in a harmless way. But if you mean intimidation, you are not accurately describing true Christianity. It is pagans who have tried to intimidate, persecute,and kill Christians since Christianity began because you hate it when the truth about God, sin, and the consequences of sin are preached.
As far as your argument that Baphomet is an innocent symbol, if you wanted to use examples of its innocence, you should not have used Taoism or Freemasonry as examples. They are both steeped in occultic deceptions. But then again I guess you are too, based on your comment.
Baphomet was tied to the Knights Templar by their own admission in the few historical documents that remain that they themselves created centuries ago. So it started way before Eliphas Levi came along. So you’re either lying or you’re ignorant of the history you claim to know. Personally, I believe you state this false history from a deceptive heart since you believe that Satan is the giver of knowledge.
Your spiritual father, Satan, is a liar and deceiver and you have embraced his character which makes you a liar and deceiver just like him.
To follow God is to follow spiritual truth to understanding why things are the way they are on Earth and in the universe. God has proven that he says the truth and is the originator of truth since throughout the ages the Bible has proven true in its history and its science. Archaeology has proven the Bible true time and time again and cosmology even shows that what the Bible says is true and I have given all kinds of scientific proof of this in several other posts. But we Christians have accepted by faith that God has spoken the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It is when we accept what he says that we then see how he backs up what he says in the Bible.
Your god, on the other hand, is the one that people like you follow blindly. Satan has blinded your mind and you’ve willingly given in to the lies he has told you. You really need to wake up before it’s too late.
You think you’re on the right path, but there is a way that seemeth right unto a man when the end thereof is the way of death. And that’s the path you’re on. Oh, BTW, God has shown us Christians how things will turn out in the end. Even when people like you will continue to cause the death of Christians and will promote your hatred of God–even when it looks like Christianity is losing the battle against your evil–GOD WILL WIN IN THE END AND SATAN WILL LOSE! Satan and all his followers will end up burning in the lake of fire. BELIEVE THAT!
So maybe it’s time for you to switch teams by turning away from your sins and bowing down to the true God–the Lord Jesus Christ.

I just read up on this! Thank gods I didn’t have to re-find all of the books and articles I read up on yesterday about Baphomet. I do remember reading that the Church of Satan used the inverted pentagram with Baphomet’s head on it as a symbol, though through Pagan belief, he is not in any way the Christian’s fallen angel, Lucifer.
I definitely intend on continuing myy research on this deity. Thank again for this info, @squees

I forgot to add in my other comment. I grew up Baptist Christian for a good portion of my living years thus far (I am only going to turn 21 within the next couple of months). Just because I have changed my personal path, it does not mean I have turned from some of the teachings from Jesus, I have simply found more truths and answers through personal experimentation and research of other beliefs. For instance, did you know the 11 Satanic Rules of the earth promote nothing but integrity, respect, is completely against rape, and to do no harm unless repeatedly provoked? Rule 9 itself says “Do not harm little Children.” The law of Thelema is “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the law, love under will.” The Wicca’s Rule of Three represents whatever energy a person puts out into the world, be it positive or negative, will be returned to that person three times. I’ve personally found pagans wish to spread peace, unity, love, respect for nature and connections with their Deities. Are there people who take advantage of their pagan belief and commit crimes to further their path? Yes. However, same goes for Muslims, Hindus, and Christians. The best known are the Crusades.. And actually those in the Knights Templar who were taken into interrogation by the French King Philip were indeed tortured into making false confessions to the king’s accusations. The truth of which is actually that because of their financial and military power and the fact that the French King owed them money because of the war with the English, and although he wanted to have his debts erased, he was worried that if he didn’t pay in time, they would post a military threat. Thus, he had them arrested and charged with heresy in October of 1307, after the crusades.
Again, not trying to start a fight, just wishing to share knowledge and wisdom that I have learned through my personal exploration and research. Whether you decide to think I made a good decision or not, you cannot deny that those rules and laws of the other beliefs are not only logical, but also very intelligent and ones worth considering.
(Also, yes, I am aware the 11 Satanic rules also have what seems to be extreme alternatives like rule 11 which says “When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.” However, that only says to “destroy” only if he continues to “bother” you, like I previously stated that they are not to harm unless repeatedly provoked. Similarly, rule 4. “If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.” Although sounding extreme, your lair is your home, and your home is your palace, where guests are to give you respect. If they tried to take advantage of you, your kindness, your godliness, and your hospitality, would you not want to be stern and tell them to leave your home for such great disrespect? My belief? If they don’t pay the bills, logically they really have no right to say anything about your home or how you live in it as long as it abides by the laws of the government).

Thanks for your transparency about your background. However, the Bible says those who endure to the end are the ones who are the real Christians (Matthew 24:13). You turned away from God because you never really were a Christian since those who submit to God’s power of salvation remain there.
You have forsaken God’s law for Satan because you would rather praise the wicked–“They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them,” Proverbs 28:4. I am familiar with the false doctrines of witchcraft you have embraced and their Satanic underpinnings–>https://sunandshield.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/ties-that-blind-wiccas-dance-with-the-devil/
The Crusades had nothing to do with Christianity. That is nothing more than revisionist history courtesy of the fake Church–Roman Catholicism.
[I’ve personally found pagans wish to spread peace, unity, love, respect for nature and connections with their Deities.]
You’re deceived or you’re intentionally lying since Wicca is really about being controlling. Wiccans regularly work in the music industry to speak their spells over popular music released to the masses with the intent of releasing devils for mind control over the airwaves. They cast curses on people who don’t agree with their agenda even to the point of wishing for them to be killed. That’s neither unity nor love nor peace. Jesus Christ teaches us to do good to and love our enemies, including forgiving them.
What you are doing is closing your mind to the historical truths, the spiritual and prophetic truths, and even the scientific truths that the Bible has proven, simply because you hate God and love sin as evidenced by your embracing the author of sin himself, who cares nothing about you except to use you via your ignorance for his evil ends. Repent and turn to the Lord Jesus. He’s the only one who can save you from your sins and from Satan spiritually blinding you. “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him,” John 3:36.

Oh, I definitely don’t disagree that I was never one to begin with, because I grew up in a Christian home. I felt like my faith was theirs, not my own and that is why I spread my wings and explored my own faith. I personally firmly believe in “treat those as you wish to be treated,” as well as the fruits of the Christian Spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control and I practice all of those within my faith, however at the same time there is such a thing as being too kind and all of those to the point where you are taken advantage of and trampled on like a doormat. As for “… simply because you hate God and love sin…” I never once said that I hate God, nor have I said I loved Satan. I have just simply shared my opinion and my knowledge of extensive research, practice, experimentation, and conversation.
Do pagans hex and curse? Yes, some do. Some do it selfishly, and their karma returns tenfold if now by three, but for most who are experienced and well versed, they know it is only appropriate to hex or curse if they have been pushed to their limit and seek the justice deserved by all who have been wronged by that individual. Even then we do not always hex or curse, but simply bind that individual from causing any other harm to anybody else. I myself am one of those practitioners, and even then I wish not to cause any harm to anybody unless they antagonized me or my loved ones to the point of affecting said loved one’s well-being, be it mentally or emotionally. I believe what goes around comes around, and in a few rare cases, I am the one who pushes it to come back around. So I’m not sure what pagans you’ve met, but just because you ran into a few bad apples doesn’t mean there is a whole abundance of peace-bringers and those who wish nothing but love and light.
I wish you peace and pleasant days to come.

Odd statement since you said you grew up a Baptist Christian in your previous comment. You called yourself a Christian, now you say you never were one. You’re really confused and contradicting yourself. That’s why I’m praying for you in the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

In other words, you became close-minded toward God and his word and opened yourself up to Satan’s many lies–one of which is Wicca.

kay, you’re trying to deceive again. I’ve pointed out several of your contradictory lies in your comments and those violate every last one of the things you mention here. So you’re lying yet again. Those things can only be given as gifts to those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and have his Holy Spirit–which you admittedly do not. What you have are worthless imitations of these things. Sad.

Liar. You said in this previous comment that you once had the “pleasure” of meeting Lucifer aka Satan. In this previous comment, you claimed Satanic rules in the Church of Satan “promote nothing but integrity, respect…” So, yeah, you admit you love Satan. By default that is admitting you hate God, according to the scriptures, since friendship with the world (Satan is the god of this world system) is enmity against God (James 4:4). By disbelieving God’s proven truth, i.e. the Bible, and his testimony regarding his enemy, Satan, you falsely accuse God of lying while you embrace and love on the one who is actually the father of lies.
[ it is only appropriate to hex or curse if they have been pushed to their limit and seek the justice deserved by all who have been wronged]
More lies. Wiccans by nature promote selfishness. Therefore, when someone rubs you the wrong way by getting in the way of your selfish desires (even if that perception is unfounded and the person is innocent), you use hexes as revenge even to the point of wishing them to be killed. It’s the Wicca MO. That’s why all those Wiccans got together during the Women’s March against Trump a few weeks ago simply because Trump is against murdering unborn humans no matter the reason–a callous practice promoted by Wiccans.

It all started as, and still is metaphor. It is fine as metaphor, but people start loosing it once they pass that point.
You mock a wiccan like they’re delusional and then say
“Actually, spiritual is only delusional when it does not acknowledge that Yahweh is the one true God and that one can only come to Yahweh through faith in his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The “dark ages” will continue until Jesus Christ comes back to reign on the Earth. We’re in the dark ages now because the majority of people in the world won’t accept the truth as proclaimed in the Bible.”
So people are delusional if they don’t believe that: a talking snake is the cause of all evil, that god used to like blood sacrifices and genocide, that god (omniscient, omnipotent) expresses REMORSE after flooding the earth and promises not to do it again… even though he could have just seen the future, that there is a huge amount of literature that is far older than the oldest found copies of any books of the Old Testament that tell stories that the Old Testament could have simply modified (one example the Epic of Gilgamesh and other Sumerian tales), there are many biblical prophecies which never came true, god demands that people who work on the sabbath be condemned to death and also rebellious children who drink too much (Leviticus), and that in all of his wisdom… God couldnt think of any better way to try to save humanity than to send his son on a suicide mission in Jerusalem, and that the entire planets way of averting ETERNAL torture is to believe in him and only him, and that a book that is supposedly written by God himself but in strewn with inconsistency. There really wasn’t a better way?
The answer is… Yes, there is.
How do we answer what the Bible really is then? Since even a small amount of literary criticism instantly shows it isn’t the infallible word of God.
It is a collection of writings (with huge amounts of alternate texts from the same period omitted, read them and you’ll see why) by a group of Bronze Age and approximately 1900 year old men who were trying to make sense of the world based on observations, and based on mystic experiences that became dilluted into theology. Read Exodus, Moses was learned in the Egyptian tradition, an initiatory mystery religion. They were savage and warlike, and their God became savage and warlike. Then a Jewish Mystic named Jesus comes along and tries to overturn the violent Jehovah into a God of Love and Forgiveness, he is killed as a revolutionary and after his death diefied and the hell filled guilt ridden visions that were in the scribe’s minds polluted what probably started as a decent philosophy.
But who knows, I don’t have the false sense of absolutely being write as you do so it probably won’t matter to those running Christianity 2.0 as their operating system, but to anyone not brainwashed beyond hope… Look at the stars at night, feel the fresh air, be thankful that you are alive now, give up your ego-games, make amends, raise good kids, love your spouse, and be kind and never stop learning. Not because you are afraid of punishment, but because you are a thinking human with the humility and awe you should have while revolving through infinite space on a planet around a star among billions of stars.
Peace.

Your comments just prove my point about people being delusional who don’t believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
First of all, a talking snake is not to blame for evil in the world. Adam and Eve are to blame for listening to what Satan told them. And your attacks against the Bible only show your ignorance about the God who created the Earth and the rest of the universe.
Not all prophecies in the Bible have been fulfilled yet because those unfulfilled prophecies will be fulfilled in the future (duh!). You can’t sit there and say that some of it’s prophecies haven’t been fulfilled as long as the Earth still exists and history is still in the process of being made every day. The Bible has had enough prophecies fulfilled in the past and in today’s times to prove how truthful it is. Your criticisms are nothing more than you accepting without question what you’ve been told by people who hate God like you. You’ve neglected to do your research, because if you actually did research, you would find that the Bible is one of the most historically accurate records ever written and that it is also scientifically sound in what it says.
And if you did some research, you would know that the story of Noah pre-dates the story of Gilgamesh.
I have covered the criticisms you raise in several of my other posts so I won’t go into them here. The basic reason you can’t understand the Bible and what it teaches and why Jesus Christ had to come to save mankind by his death is because, for one, you’ve allowed Satan to blind your mind to the truth, and secondly, because “the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” [1 Corinthians 2:14] Since you don’t have the Spirit of God, your spirit inside of you is spiritually dead and you can’t understand who God is and why he does what he does.
So the bottom line is that you are deceived and therefore delusional. Even if someone explained everything to you concerning the Bible and proved to you how true it is, you still wouldn’t be willing to accept it because you embrace your deceptions, just like the Jews of Jesus’ day who knew for a fact that Christ rose from the dead, but still devised lies to steer people away from the truth.
If you’re so convinced about the lies you believe, why are you wasting your time trying to debate me about the Bible? The Bible existed way before you or I did and greater people than you have tried to snuff it out but they have all failed and they will always fail. You will fail too. Why? Because God’s word will never pass away, it’s truth will never pass away, and the God who gave his word to us will never pass away.

Harry,
I have been reading your replies to your readers and I had to stop here to say something: While I agree that your statements are quite true, the delivery is threatening. People just don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. This is a modern statement of how loving first is the only way others will consider your statements.
While there are so very many passages of scripture that are purely black and white such as the path to eternity being through Christ alone, there are also many “best practices”, if you will, that can be applied in a myriad of ways. None of them right or wrong as long as they are done in love. Proselytizing, for example, can be done in many ways. While the intention is good, the delivery can have the opposite effect if not done purely out of love.
For example, calling someone a sinner or a liar because of their potentially ignorant association with new age cults, or another religion will likely be received the wrong way. While the statement remains true even if not said, humility and love is lacking. The bible says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. This is universal and includes you and me. If I was an unbeliever who received a response such as these, I would find Christianity demanding, condemning & without freedom. I would miss the fact that Christianity is quite receiving, loving & with more freedom than you felt before. Most view the God of Christianity as demanding when it’s quite the opposite.
Hopefully, this message is received as constructive since I mean no attack on you personally or other. In fact, your firm grip on biblical knowledge can have a drastic impact if delivered with humility and love just as Jesus did. Hopefully you can do it, because I find it very difficult holding my tongue when I know I can deliver that last blow that will take them down! But then what…?

I cannot see how people can believe that the Baphomet is Satan, and that Satan represents evil. Nor that people can believe in a God. What Christianity doesn’t understand is that there is NO proof whatsoever of an existance of a “god” of any form. The only person that one should worship is oneself, as that is the only consistancy in your life.
Also, I would like to comment on the so called “Seven Deadly Sins (SDS)”.
These are simply traps to keep people always begging “God” for forgiveness. These so called “SDS” are actually the path to self-fullfillment, and keeps Christians from achieving higher in life, for example :
Avarice (greed) + Envy + Pride = Aspiration to better oneself, and to revel above others in society.
As I said, the SDS were carefully selected by Christianity so that man would always be sinning, and therefore is a trap made by Christianity to keep men begging for forgiveness to “God”.
Anton Szandor LaVey had the right ideas. LaVeyan Satanism is the way forward for humanity.

If you read history to see all of the crimes against humanity and evil committed in the name of Baphomet and Satan, then you would clearly see how they represent evil, unless, of course, you have no conscience.
As for your statement that there is no proof of God’s existence, that is completely wrong. If you would take some time to search out how accurate the Bible is in its historical statements and events, you would know that it tells the truth. I have done several posts here showing how the Bible predicted events that were then fulfilled years, decades, or centuries after the prophecies were written. I even did a recent series proving scientifically, without using the Bible, the existence of God. You can read them for yourself if you click on my “science” subject in the cloud on the right side of the screen.
Basically, the Big Bang theory, the 2nd law of thermodynamics, the fact that the universe is expanding, the radiation afterglow existing in space from the Big Bang, the existence of great galaxy seeds in the radiation afterglow in space, and Einsteins theory of general relativity all point to the fact that the universe had a beginning from nothing and that a Supreme Being had to have created the whole universe. This fact has already been attested to by great scientists like Einstein, Hubble, Robert Jastrow, Arno Penzias, Robert Wilson, and other scientists. All of these scientists, with the exception of Jastrow, got Nobel prizes for their scientific discoveries and admitted that the Bible was accurate in its account of the Creation and in the existence of God.
So for you to sit there & say there is no proof of God’s existence just means you’re just too lazy to do your research and that you would much rather embrace a false doctrine that caters to your faulty, sinful way of thinking. You would much rather have a god created in your own evil image. It’s easier that way and doesn’t require too much thought on your part. Furthermore, you just couldn’t fathom how off-base you are. Then you would have to admit to yourself (gasp!) that you’re actually wrong, and the Bible is right.
Since the Bible has already been proven to be accurate, anyone who has researched the history recorded in it and who is logical can conclude that the God of the Bible must exist and that the Bible is telling the truth. Therefore, what he says about sin, Satan, and salvation must also be true. But then they must have faith to embrace that truth and apply it to their lives.
Anton LaVey was a pervert and a miscreant. He was a disciple of Aleister Crowley. Crowley, who LaVey followed, was involved in sacrificing humans (mainly children), committed every type of sexually deviant behavior he could get away with from bestiality to bisexuality to pedophilia, called up devils in seances, abused every drug he could get his hands on, just to name a few things he did. Then Anton LaVey came along and did the same twisted, ungodly things. How is that supposed to be the way forward for humanity? If anything, he’s reverting humanity back to barbarism and illogical, immoral, anarchist behavior that would make us worse than beasts who roam the wild.
But thanks for leaving a comment. That means you automatically go on my prayer list since I know you stopped by. And I’ll be praying for you in the name above every name–the Lord Jesus Christ–with the hope that you will one day surrender to the true master of the universe and experience freedom from slavery to sin.

And it doesn’t really seem like ‘God’ influences us or the world, if he does exist, that is.. No one can really deny the existence of Wicked people living really happily (whatever happened to the righteous god) and God-fearing, pious people, who’re so ‘in-love’ with God, that they’re living the rest of their lives miserably. What do they stand to gain, at the end of it all ??
Just have to admit that it just sucks fot the people who are putting all their faith in God, for they would have ended up much happier if they had put that very faith or trust in themselves.
Finally, forgive me if I’m being a little rude, but for all you know te Bible (I think you’re thorough with it), you’re just acting like most priests now-days- get this feeling in your head that ONLY you are going to be saved and ALL the others are going to suffer. I don think CONDEMNING everyone else around you who doesn’t necessarily believe what you do is what your GOD wants. If god can’t really help the suffering, i really don’t think there’s any need to worship him. It’s not worth arguing that those who’re suffering are actually BEING PUNISHED for all the evil they’ve been upto or by saying THEY’LL BE REWARDED IN HEAVEN…

After all that God has done for me and after all the promises he’s kept and after all the prophecies that have been fulfilled from his word leads me to say that I will never give up. The very thing that unbelievers find fault with–the Bible–has been proven to be factually accurate time after time. For instance, there was a time that people didn’t believe the Hittite people existed like the Bible says, then in 1906, ancient clay tablets were found that gave the history of Hittites and their empire. People didn’t believe that Canaanites were as evil as the Bible says they were in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, then ancient clay tablets were found in Syria from 1929 to 1937 and 1948 that talked about the Canaanites and all of their immoral practices like sacrificing their babies to their pagan gods and their bestiality.
The Bible also said the Earth was round [Proverbs 8:27, Isaiah 40:22] centuries before scientists discovered it was really round and Hindus, Buddhists, and Muslims had all said the Earth was flat. With the exception of Revelation, the New Testament was complete by the 60s AD and in the gospels, Jesus predicted in the 30s AD that Jerusalem and its temple would be overthrown by the Romans and his prediction came true 40 years after his prediction in 70 AD. People doubted that Pontius Pilate existed like it said in the Bible until ruins were found in the ruins of Caesarea in Israel that named Pontius Pilate as the Roman “Prefect of Judea.”
So history and science prove the facts mentioned in the Bible. Those who don’t believe that it’s completely true lack faith based on facts and they are historically ignorant as well as scientifically ignorant.
God helps suffering people every day. You just don’t see it because you’re not really looking for it. You’re just looking for some way to justify your own sins since you love sin, so God’s not doing what you want, when you want, and how you want is just your way of justifying your wickedness. Those who genuinely put their trust in the Lord are not miserable as you claim. By your statement I would say you really don’t know any genuine Christians and this is just another way you’re trying to encourage yourself in your evil.
If unbelievers are so happy, why do they drink so much or use drugs or cheat on their spouses or sleep around with so many people like they do? Then all they have to show for it is their own unhappiness. Why do so many unbelievers commit suicide? Why are they so unhappy even when they get lots of money? True Christians, on the other hand, are rather well-adjusted in our society and are content.
I serve God because he has proven that he can be trusted. My faith is in him because the record has shown century after century that he is reliable.
And I’ll end by saying that if you want to get your point across in a believable way, you should probably use a spell-checker and work on your grammar a little bit.

Sorry to post so many times, but I can’t help myself 🙂
I would like to point out to your readers that becoming a Christian and following Jesus doesn’t suddenly make the entire universe easy or all of your bad habits & additions go away. In some cases, people are set free from it, but in others, it still remains a battle.
I have fought with drinking, smoking and other bad habits in my life, but God is always gracious & forgives me. Christianity is a walk and sometimes you trip or fall, but it makes you appreciate the days you can run. It doesn’t guarantee that every day of your life will be joyous and happy. It does guarantee that at the end of the day you can put your mind at rest by trusting God and placing your worries with Him.
I have known Christians who fall into alcoholism & even one who committed suicide. Temptations still exist, but shifting your focus to God helps with this. Becoming a Christian is the very first step, but certainly not the last. We still have daily choices to make; some of which can make us very unhappy and maladjusted.

Anonymous_2,
Unfortunately, when people hear about Christians, they think of fire, brimstone, the crusades & going to hell if you don’t turn from your wicked ways. A summary of the Christianity from another person just won’t cut it. You have to research it for yourself.
People constantly think that God is this “cosmic Santa Claus” that sits in the sky and will do their bidding if they just pray hard enough. The truth is, He has a will of His own much like we have plans for our own lives. It all comes down to choice. God has choices just like we do. However, it is not in His nature to be evil therefore He doesn’t (won’t) sin, but He still has the choice to do it just like Jesus had the same choice when he was 100% man. It’s difficult to understand that the choice is still there even if you never take it. Satan, on the other hand, is evil by nature and interacts with this world to a large degree. There are terrible things that happen in life that are most certainly a direct result of someone’s choice. What I’m trying to say is that we, as humans with a sinful nature, are headed down the path of evil which ultimately ends up in that “hot place”, for lack of a better way to describe eternal damnation in fire and torment. GOD doesn’t send us there… we send ourselves. Without the choice to worship God and choose eternal life through Jesus, what better are we than robots created to do God’s bidding? Love is a choice. If you made someone love you with no other option, how would that make you feel? It’s ultimately just you loving yourself.
A world without choice wouldn’t exist. It would be fabricated like a computer with programmed emotions. Is that really love?
Some punishments in life are just a result of a bad choice. You wouldn’t blindly put your fingers into a table saw and blame God or the devil for your missing fingers, would you? In the same way, some wars are started simply because of a poor choice. While God could certainly have put an end to it with a wave of His hand, we wouldn’t learn from our choices. Unfortunately, those choices can impact innocent people.
We were created free to love and hate. God deserves our praise even if the most He ever did was chose to give us life and the ability to love. Would you want life any other way?

Jesus of Nazareth was born a Jew, but came to fulfill the Mosaic law on our behalf and to die for our sins. God established the Mosaic law as a temporary fix until it was time for him to come to Earth as the man we know as the Lord Jesus. Therefore, if we believe by faith that Jesus is the Lord (i.e. God), that he died for our sins, and that he rose from the dead, then he saves us from sin and from the punishment of hell to live with him after our physical death. This is all that is required to become a Christian. Then after we are saved, we do works in our lives to please God. These are the basics of Christianity.
Roman Catholicism falsely teaches that we must do works to be saved, like baptism in the Catholic Church, membership in the Catholic Church, taking the eucharist, etc. But it is by grace (God’s unmerited, undeserved favor toward us) that we are saved through faith, not by works.
I would then have to ask–are you saved based on what I just said? Then I would suggest you get a King James Version of the Bible and read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John to get understanding about who Jesus really is. And in the meantime ask God to reveal to you which church or what believers he wants you to associate with for worship. The Holy Spirit will then lead you in the right direction if you listen to his guidance as you continue to read the Bible, his word.

The baphomet doesn’t deserve respect and people who are offended by this article are hypocrital cowards who have the gall to dismiss Jesus Christ as some illogical and childish fable.
When obligated to choose a path, I chose Christianity because I despise hypocrisy, oppression and genocide which are the very things those who either follow Satan as an actual fallen angel who opposes God or “Satan” as a supposedly harness virtue of adversarial enlightenment are being led into via these false promises of enlightenment. There is no need to stand up against God who created us by choosing some other route that is said to bind it all together. These people who believe they must find some other way that doesn’t deem their actions as sins are in for a rude awakening in their efforts to unite the world as one without “all that ‘god’ nonsense”. There is no secularly united world with no major problems. The most major of all problems is trying to build a global society that is completely Godless and ungodly in the first place. Revelation 6:4

The Bible is indeed full of wisdom but if one does not come to the realization that it highlights man’s ultimate need, then none of the wisdom in it will do you any good. And man’s ultimate need is to have a restored relationship with God by being saved from the evil nature all humans inherited from the first man Adam. That salvation can only come through Jesus Christ, the sinless Lord whose blood is the only thing that cleanses us from sin. The only thing Anton LaVey’s teachings or Satan can do for you is lead you to the everlasting punishment of hell. They cannot save you from your evil nature to which you are enslaved. Genuine freedom can only come through Jesus Christ.
I am not arrogant, but confident in what the Bible says and in the unfailing, righteous, almighty power of Jehovah. LaVey’s so-called power could not save him from death. Satan’s power could not keep him from getting kicked out of heaven and won’t prevent his ultimate doom in the lake of fire. But the Bible gives us a more sure word of prophecy to let us know that the power of people like LaVey and his spiritual father Satan are anemic in comparison to the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent Jehovah.
And about Albert Einstein, no one is completely sure where he stood spiritually. But his theory of general relativity backs up what the Bible says about time, matter, and energy having a beginning whether he believed in God or not.

Sadly Ha-satanism stands in both direct opposition and defiance of God, thus anyone choosing ha-satan hates The God of Heaven. When I was 7 years old I knew ha-satan was real and The God of Heaven. However I saw God as imperfect because He created an imperfect being, which He did not, ha-satan rebelled. I could see all the bad things in my childhood directly caused by the Evil one. This was how I came to Salvation when I found out God Created ha-satan perfectly, and the faith light came on in my heart and I truly believed ALL of God’s Words at that moment and Truly Saw God in Holy Perfection and was saved that same day. Also your comment about Wisdom, your wisdom without God’s Holy Spirit is as corrupt as ha-satan’s is:
Ezekiel 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty,
thou hast “corrupted thy wisdom” by reason of thy brightness:
I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Ha-satan knows Scripture backwards and forwards and has used one in particular to trap RCC followers and others:
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
There is no fear before your eyes if you are following ha-satan.
The truth is the truth, even if no one believes it.
A lie is a lie, even if everyone believes it.
For those of you who speak of Karma that is real crap as if retribution just falls right out of the wispy cosmos here is the Truth of it.
God is a God of Faith, and it is impossible to please Him without Faith:
There is no such thing as coincidence/Karma, coincidence is just God’s way of staying anonymous.
No one can understand God’s Words on their own:
NO HOLY SPIRIT, NO UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURES
KNOW THE HOLY SPIRIT, KNOW AND UNDERSTAND ALL SCRIPTURE:
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
The Truth hurts, but denying The Truth will hurt eternally.
No Christian is 100% perfect, nor 100% correct for 100% of the time, only God is.
In Error once, doesn’t make them 100% incorrect, nor 100% incorrect for 100% of the time
One is a choice out of ignorance…the other an open act of defiance.( ha-satanism)
A wise person speaks because they have something to say, a fool speaks because they have to say something.
Better to be a Half Wit that knows something,
than to be a foolish dim wit like you who thinks they have all the answers and knows nothing.
But Faith without Christ, is misplaced faith in the first place, and only leads to one place and it is not Heaven!
I don’t want my words to be a witness against you come judgment day, but I pray my words will witness to you to help you to find the narrow way, to Eternal Life thru Jesus Christ My Lord.
“That which Mercy can not Rehabilitate–Justice will eventually Annihilate”
Ask yourself which is better: upholding the Creator’s laws or beholding the Creator’s wrath?
“Discernment is not a matter of simply telling the difference between what is right and wrong; rather, it is the difference between right and “almost right” & “the difference between truth and error is not a chasm, but a razor’s edge.” (Spurgeon/Murray)
“Happiness keeps You Sweet, Trials keep You Strong, Sorrows keep You Human, Failures keeps You Humble, Success keeps You Glowing, But Only GOD keeps You Going.”
Ever since Jesus Christ has come into my heart my life has been fuller, more robust, peaceful, and filled with love than I ever had unsaved. I have gone thru many trials, but The Lord has been right there with me.
No Jesus, No Hope.
Know Jesus, Know Hope!
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
You see when God made Hell He only made it for ha-satan and his angels, now fallen man occupies it to. When God Creates a New Heaven and Earth it will not be contaminated by the fallen spirits of ha-satan, his angels, and man. That is why the Lake of Fire is Before Christ’s Throne:
Daniel 7:10 A “fiery stream issued” and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
Christ feeds that lake of fire, the worms do not die, intense heat, and bound hand and foot, utter darkness, and all you will hear is cacophony of screams for all all eternity while the smell of sulfur fills your nostrils.

You said “You don’t know the truth, and neither do I”, but is that really true? If you don’t know the truth, then how do you know your statement is true? In order for you to declare that I don’t know the truth, you have to base such a statement on something you believe to be true. By default, you have implied that there is absolute truth, otherwise you cannot claim that “‘true, false, right, or wrong’ have no place in religion.” If there were no truth, you could not make this declaration. Since you claim that you don’t know the truth, this means I can dismiss everything you said because it isn’t true.
Your statement is utter nonsense, poppycock, and folderol and shows how blind you are because this statement is self-defeating. Since you “do not profess to know the ‘truth'” then you have all but admitted how foolish you are for even leaving your comment to argue against me. If you really believe you don’t know the truth, you would’ve kept your nonsensical comment to yourself. Therefore, in your self-defeat you have proven that absolute truth exists. If it didn’t exist then how could an architect build a safe building according to exact measurements and standards? If all of his builders could not agree on 1 foot equalling 12 inches because they all had their own truth, then any building they would build would not be safe. If I punch you in the face because I believe this is the true way to handle my dispute with you, then you would be wrong to object to my punching you, since you don’t know the truth. And a police officer trying to arrest me for assaulting you would be wrong to do so. That’s just how ridiculous your argument is.
But, you may ask, what do these examples have to do with religion? It is good religion that prompts us to make laws that tells us we should avoid doing things (like building unsafe buildings) that threaten people’s lives and to treat people as we ourselves want to be treated.

When was this article written? 2009? I read Alphonse Louis Constant, aka Eliphas Levi’s books back in the 90s. I see it took you a good 20 years to catch up, and it seems you new comers “know it all” (as usual). I don’t see anything negative or bad about Alphonse Louis Constants works, such as “Transcendental Magic,” or “The History of Magic.” In fact, for those, like myself, who have actually studied and read these works (which obviously you didn’t), we know that Jesus Christ is spoken of VERY HIGHLY. Eliphas Levi also holds the Bible in high esteem, that it is God’s Word, and Jesus is the Son of God. I believe you are ignorant and blind in your “fundamental christianity,” and cannot penetrate the great notions Constant has shared.
This symbol has little or nothing to do with the devil, or Satan, and has everything to do with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. In fact, it is designed to frighten, or scare off those who are not ready, profane, and unworthy.
Acts 2:3 “They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.”
These “tongues of fire” are none other than the 3 pronged torch/flame on Baphomet’s head — the Holy Spirit — that which obviously you have never experienced. I have.
Baphomet is an atbash cypher for “Sophia.” Sofia is Wisdom. What does the Bible say about Wisdom?
Proverbs 8:22 “The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old”
Now, as someone who has personally experienced, first hand, what this engraving, “The Baphomet,” is — as someone who has “become Baphomet,” — someone who has received the true and real Holy Spirit, the tongues of flame “γλῶσσαι ὡσεὶ πυρός” — I can say the OP (Original Pos[t]er) really doesn’t know what they are talking about, and is steering people away from truth. You meant well, but are truly causing more harm than good.

Baphomet is Satan and that’s who you worship, so get thee behind me Satan, for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Jesus is the only rock that the church can be built on. If you’ve got any other rock as the foundation, it’s the wrong foundation. Jesus said, “Thou art Peter (a small stone), and upon this rock (huge boulder) I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
The rock, or huge boulder, that the church is built on is the fact that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God. All those who confess that same confession that Peter did are on the rock of Christ, not the rock of Peter. At one point Jesus called Peter “Satan” when Peter tried to say Jesus was wrong about his own death by crucifixion.
The true church started way before Henry VIII’s shenanigans. Roman Catholicism began when Constantine saw that he couldn’t get rid of the true church so he made a cheap imitation and claimed that the early leaders of the true church (like Peter & Clement of Rome) were the Popes of his false one. Your account is revisionist history pushed by the Vatican. You’ve been brainwashed with false info.

[Love is more important than knowledge in our faith]
So in other words we should just overlook the false doctrines Catholicism has for the sake of going along to get along & just don’t mind the truth if it brings conflict. That’s not genuine love. Genuine love is when someone cares enough about someone else that they see is on the wrong path to lovingly and firmly show them they’re wrong. Then they lovingly and firmly point out the right path to them. The love you’re talking about isn’t really love. It’s the fear of men. It’s fearing men so much that you avoid mentioning truth so as not to get them upset with you because you’re more concerned about someone liking you more than you are about pleasing God.

There are several reasons we know that you & the rest of us aren’t gods. You don’t have power over your sin or death like the true Godhead does. You can’t predict things down to the details like the true Godhead does. You haven’t made an accurate, detailed prophecy that has then come to pass like the true Godhead has. You are confined to space, matter, and time, unlike the true Godhead.
If a god is to be worshiped, that god has to be proven trustworthy, non-contradictory, and must provide accurate, true information at all times. If they don’t, then that means they are prone to mistakes or are liars and everyone who has lived or will ever live knows that liars cannot be trusted and are not worthy of worship. You have shown yourself to be a liar, therefore you cannot be trusted and are not worthy of worship or to be called a god.
How do I know you’re not a god? Wouldn’t a god know how to give correct spelling & grammar at all times since spelling & grammar render information? Yet, you misspell words & use incorrect grammar in your comment. If you can’t even get that correct, how do you expect us to believe you’re a god?
If gods must provide accurate, true info at all times, then how can you say every religion is one? If something is one, it never contradicts itself. Buddhism was started by a Hindu who became disgruntled with the Hindu teachings & practices. So Siddhartha started his own religion on the basis that he believed Hinduism was incorrect and full of lies. Islam was started hundreds of years after Jesus Christ and he criticized Judaism & Christianity for not fulfilling the correct teachings, then added his own teachings as an additional revelation to what the Bible says. But his history in the Koran have been shown to be inaccurate in the facts.
Even Taoism contradicts other religions & itself. Taoists claim the idea of non-action. That aggression or competition are unnecessary to make things happen or to win battles. But in order to get a job, they have to submit a resume to a potential employer and have an interview that has to be competitive in order for them to be hired. They contradict themselves. Tao, a term meaning “the way,” espouses that it’s philosophy is the only correct way, which by default places itself in competition to all other beliefs and practices. Therefore, contradicting itself.
Now if all religions are one, then they would not be in competition with each other in their basic teachings and none of them would have their claims of exclusivity. Since they all have claims of exclusivity, it is up to us to figure out whose exclusivity clause is telling the complete truth. If one were to be honest with oneself, Jesus Christ is the only one who gives us complete truth.
Since you have shown yourself inaccurate on these points about the religions and have shown yourself to be a liar, you are not a god. I can’t place my trust in you and you aren’t worthy to be worshiped by me or anyone else, including yourself.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Leviticus 18
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man… Matthew 15 [emphasis mine]
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Mark 10 [emphasis mine]
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6 [emphasis mine]

Very interesting article, but what’s more interesting are the comments that follow. Believers will always be persecuted for teaching the truth, but it is up to us to respond to that persecution in a manner that would glorify God. Rather than stooping down to the level of those that anger you, respond in kindness, the way that Jesus would have. Father forgive them for they know not what they do. Mr. Gaylord, I pray that you let not your good works be ill spoken of because you go from informing in your article, to judgmental, critical and hypocritical in your replies. Even though I can understand why, for a site like this, this is far from the depiction of Christianity you want. If the only Jesus people ever saw was the Jesus in you, what kind of Jesus would you be showing them?

@Cyntrell,
[…it is up to us to respond to that persecution in a manner that would glorify God. Rather than stooping down to the level of those that anger you, respond in kindness, the way that Jesus would have.]
Jesus and his apostles respond in various ways in various conversations. For you to assume that I didn’t respond in a manner that fits your own personal preferences to Jesus’ responses doesn’t mean I’m wrong. It just means you have a different preference. I responded in love and righteous anger to some comments and responded in love and gentleness to other comments. Neither Jesus nor his disciples were always soft-spoken when it came to addressing false doctrine. Here are some examples:
“12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” Matthew 21
“39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.” Luke 11
“51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. 52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:” Stephen in Acts 7
“16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.” Acts 17 [emphasis mine]

I’m late to the party i know that but i had to throw my two cents in for whatever reason. I read your article to learn more about Baphomet and was pleased at the detail you provided. But as i kept reading, i suddenly noticed how your article is oozing at every paragraph with preconceptions and generic bible banther. You did not create this article to educate about Levi or Baphomet – instead you turned it into a blunt instrument to damn everyone who isn’t in accord with your beliefs. I was disappointed ofcourse and proceeded to read the comments to see what others thought about it. I’m telling you my good man, you would have made a fine inquisitor when the job was still in demand.
You, friend, are a parrot. You do nothing but quote scriptures. You have no opinion of your own experience. I think you must have had some kind of traumatic experince in the past that you couldn’t get past by yourself. I’m happy that you have found your peace, in one way or another but i am concerned that you have lost your individuality and your power to reason. I’m sad that you need a constant father-figure in your life to make you feel better. It shows that you have not matured spiritualy and that you have stopped seeking the truth because you have been led to belive it could ever be captured in a book. The fallacy of saying that the bible is the actual word of a supernatural being seems to not bother you at all. Your claim that the bible has any historic or scientific merit is absolute b*%#!~^t. I will never belive that i am the incestuous offspring of a man and a woman who ate some apple because a snake told them it was a good idea. When will you bible-parrots ever learn that the truth is something you have to search for yourself, with utter dedication and complete sacrifice. It will turn you into an outcast, a weirdo and a dissident. That is what Jesus was. He had found his own truth and because he loved us so much he didn’t care about what would happen to him if he started preaching it. He wasn’t the son of a bearded man in the sky, i’m afraid. He was a man like you an me who saw his own light and knew that we all had a light inside of us, and wanted us to seek at aswell. Not HIS light, our own. The rest you learn about him are mythological exagerations that the romans and subsequently catholics used to create fear. Because evil knows – fear is a much better incentive than love. That’s why you keep rambling about hell and lakes of fire – your own fears.
I also made a mental note at some point to laugh at you for slandering Taoism. Are you serious? You will shamelessly discredit any philosophy and religion that isn’t your own? Usualy bible-bashers such as yourself pick one thing to slander and lie about (sex before marriage, pro-life, homosexuality, etc). You on the other hand choose to throw poo at every direction. Not so wise and it makes you look like a narccisist and a sociopath, cause only those types of personality claim that they’re view is right and EVERYONE else is wrong.
In conclusion, i urge you to begin a process of introspection and to start asking questions again about the things you hold to be rock-solid truth. Look up meditation, yoga, other practices that differ from your own and apply them whole-heartedly. Then, and only then, will you know anything about them and about yourself. Even if you find them untrue, it will be so of your own experience, not because you read in some books that x is good and y is bad. And even then, it will not mean that your truth would EVER be someone else’s. Please understand how utterly unique each of us are. Please understand that you are NOT inherently born evil because someone supposedly ate a fruit. Do not mock the beauty of life with fear-mongering of demons and b@%^*!$t. Thank you and namaste.

Ben,
You’ve given plenty of examples in your comment that you don’t know what the Bible says, or historical facts, or scientific facts. What’s more is that you should really work on your spelling skills. You all but butchered the actual account in the Bible of Adam & Eve. Then you claim the Romans thought up myths surrounding Jesus when historical records from the 1st century prove he did the things recorded in the Bible. The historical records from that era also prove that Jesus & his apostles were persecuted and killed by the Roman government. They were looking to exterminate Christianity, not prop it up to make people fear as you imply.
[He had found his own truth… He was a man like you an me who saw his own light and knew that we all had a light inside of us, and wanted us to seek at aswell]
You contradict yourself like so many other critics of Christianity. You assume we should be responsible for finding our own truth & not be concerned with what others think about it, but if that were true then you are not in the position to criticize me either for my beliefs. If we’re not supposed to discredit other philosophies or religions, then why discredit mine & tout your own as better than mine in your comment. Contradictions, contradictions. Taoism is like all other religions–it promotes itself as the truth in opposition to all others.
Bottom line–your comment is nonsense.

Hey Harry.
Let me just say I agree wholeheartedly with this article. I’m aware of the occult/secret societies/global eltists that run this world. I mean just looking at the entertainment portion of the world, you’d be a fool to not see a pattern in each example.
I’ve been a believer all of my life and I will never denounce or reject God and his son Jesus Christ. Lately, I’ve been slightly struggling with my faith. I guess you can call this a help request? I don’t know. I just deem you a credible source for information because we have similar ideological backgrounds. (I too know about how the Catholics/Freemasons/Rosicrucians/Skull&Bones/Luciferians all intertwine in some sort of fashion)
Ok. So here it goes. (Sorry for the length but I feel as if you should know the details of my issue in order for an accurate response)
One day I stumbled on google trying to find what I should call “God”. After all, the Hebrews/Greeks didn’t refer to “God” as God. That’s an anglosaxon word for a deity. I’m confused as to why there are so many names for him. For example, Yahweh is one of his names. Yahweh was associated with wind. However, it tells us in Genesis that “God” or the Elohim created the heavens and Earth. This is a plural hebrew word for “authority” or “power”. Whereas, Yahweh is a singular name used when he parted the red Sea to help the Israelites flee the Egyptians. (source: http://ancientskyscraper.com/330712.html )
The main thing which kind of shook me up is the fact that “God” (i use quotations not to denote but to ask the question what’s his true name?) told Abraham that he is in fact “El”. The canaanites (Abraham’s region) worshiped tons of deities. The fact that “God” said he was “el” kind of strikes confusion within me. He used the term “el” as if he was reinstating Abraham’s familiarity within the popularized pantheon in order to catch his attention.
Also, when the Israelites returned to their pagan ways, Aaron crafted a golden bull to satisfy the jews’ faith. How ironic, that this deity “El” (Which God revealed himself to Abraham) is known as a bull God. This of course made Moses irate. Also, Egypt had a large pantheon of Gods and bull worship was quite common. As a matter of fact, there is a temple dedicated to Jehovah, or YHWH as early as the 14th Century B.C. (source: http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2010328 )
I know, as a believer, I shouldn’t be stumbling upon anything outside the bible, however, archaeology shows that the Ugaritic texts and tablets reveal that El or Baal (Lord) was among the pantheon of which the Lord (our God) revealed to Abraham.
Why is it that “God” has so many names? Elohim, Jehovah, El, Yahweh, Adonai, Baal, El Shaddai (btw that was a common name even among pre-islamic Arab lands)… Are these his names or are they in fact adjectives to describe him?
The ugaritic texts really threw me off. Not completely off. I will always serve and hold Jehovah (I guess thats his name? Or is it Yahweh? Or should i refer to him as the Elohim?) as the most High with his son Yeshua (or Jesus) as my savior. But I need some clarity on this issue so my faith can be renewed…. It’s just hard to stay focused when “God” says there shall be no Gods before me, when in fact, he has so many names from which all have stemmed from a pantheon of the ancient canaanite religion….
Help me brother! Thanks!

Toby,
Your confusion about who God is and what his names are stems from false premises that you assume to be true. And I’m not saying that to slam you. Here are the false premises that I’m talking about:
♦ Google is where you can find what to call “God.”
♦ Yahweh was associated with wind.
♦ God was relating to the pantheon to catch Abraham’s attention.
♦ Aaron made a golden calf called “El”, which relates to God, to satisfy the Jews’ faith.
♦ God revealed himself as El or Baal, which relates to the pantheon.
♦ God’s many names are confusing.
♦ Baal is one of God’s names.
♦ The Ugaritic texts help us understand God.
♦ All God’s names stem from the Canaanite pantheon.
None of these assumptions you’ve made are true. Just because someone writes something with a whole bunch of references that proclaims the above statements over and over as being true doesn’t mean they are true. Until you throw out all of these premises you’ve made and accepted as true, they will continue to cause you to be confused. The links you consulted that you list in your comment are from the Watchtower Society, or Jehovah’s Witnesses, and they have nothing to do with the real Bible or the real God of the Bible.
The names Jehovah & Yahweh are used synonymously and are just different spellings for the same name. The Christian Bible (not the New World Translation of the JWs or the Catholic Bible) is where you find out how to understand God and his names. God introduced himself to Abraham as God Almighty (El Shaddai) and told him to come out from among his people & their gods. So he really wasn’t identifying with any pantheon. He was making the exclusive claim that he is the only true god and the only one who should be worshiped.
God also had nothing to do with Baal worship. Baal was a totally different god for a totally different religion. Many who attack the Bible try to tie the two together to try to diminish God’s importance, but they’re lying and those lies are satanically inspired. God repeatedly told his people to stop worshiping Baal. God also had nothing to do with any Egyptian bull gods. He told the Israelites to forsake the Egyptian gods when he brought them out of Egypt. But throughout Israel’s history they turned their backs on the one true God & embraced the idol gods of neighboring nations, which led to God punishing them with exile. Then some archaeologists and others came along to discover the ancient pagan idols and altars that ancient Israel worshiped, then inserted their own assumptions about God based on what Israel did and formed conclusions based on syllogisms, which went something like this– Jews worshiped the God of the Bible and worshiped Baal, Molech, and other gods. Therefore, Jehovah = Baal = Molech = other gods. Therefore, all religions can be traced back to the same religion.
Those assumptions are nothing but lies. There are two religious systems in the world– the heathen religions inspired by Satan and the worship of Jehovah based on a relationship with Jesus Christ through faith. The false religions inspired by Satan always make the claim they are the same as Jehovah-inspired religion because Satan wants to be worshiped and wants to overthrow what glorifies Jehovah. When you consider that Jehovah is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, then no matter how many names we call him, they could never fully express the complexity and vastness of who he is in all his divinity. So instead of being preoccupied with how many names he has, read the Bible to find out which names he wants to be called no matter how many they are. He answers to all of the names which are correct.

Btw, I’m not here to stir a debate up or challenge you on your biblical/scientific/archaeological knowledge. I posted this to help me break this weight of confusion on my faith so I can serve God with my all. I feel like I’m serving him out of fear alone, you know? I want to serve him with love along with fear. The fact one of his commandments commands us not to be polytheistic strikes me because he has a multitude of names himself. Most of which stemmed from Ugaritic texts and ancient pantheistic religions. That kind of triggers a “How can I take your word seriously” when you are among this pantheon? The ugaritic texts are extremely ancient. Way before Abraham and Job came onto the scene.
Half of me is like “I wish I would have never found this” and the other half is like “You should take this into consideration because the truth shall have no filters”
Thanks upon your response 😦

Toby,
Worship of Jehovah pre-dates the Ugaritic texts. Adam & his descendants kept a written account of things that happened in the early years of man’s existence on Earth. Then Moses took the writings and compiled them into Genesis (Genesis 5:1). Genesis 4:26 says men began to call on the Lord about the time of the birth of Enos, which was approximately in the 3800s BC. This was way before the pagan religions and shows Jehovah had nothing to do with them.

Anti-leviticus,
Right off the bat you reveal that you don’t know your history. The Old Testament (OT) is based on manuscripts that are way before Eliphas Levi was even born. Haven’t you heard of the Dead Sea Scrolls?
[If you read Leviticus you will find lots of satanic paganism and the alter to which sacrifice is given is described as having horns.]
The reason why you try to lump together worship of Jehovah, the one true and living God, with paganism is that you lack spiritual discernment that can only come by knowing Jesus Christ. “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” [1 Corinthians 2:14] Horns on the altar are symbolic of God’s power. The altar had four horns. It was symbolic of Jesus Christ, his sacrifice for your sins and everyone else’s sins, and the gospel message for the whole world. The four horns symbolize the whole world (North, South, East, West) and God is King of all the earth (Psalm 47:7).
[Leviticus is a vile book and I don’t believe it came from any savior]
That’s your choice made by your God-given free will. But you’ve made your decision based on lies. Here’s what Leviticus says:
3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. …
6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord. …
20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wife, to defile thyself with her.
21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 And the land is defiled… Leviticus 18
So the OT speaks against pagan nations like Egypt and their corrupt pagan practices. It speaks against incest, adultery, human sacrifices, homosexuality, bestiality, and more because the nations who God sent Israel to overthrow were guilty of all of these evils. So if you hate Leviticus and the OT, then by default you are saying you embrace one or all of the sins it speaks against. Your attacks against it are just a cover for your being uncomfortable with the Bible speaking out against the sins that you’ve given yourself over to. You’re projecting.
[Christ is explained as coming like a thief in the night. Moloch the owl is a night hunter.]
Christ, who is God, spoke against Moloch in one of the verses I quoted above, so your attempt to equate them has no merit. Christ will come when people least expect it, much like a thief does in the night. But when Christ comes, it will be for good, not evil. Those who don’t like him, such as yourself, will see this good as evil because you are caught up in sin. If you refuse to believe in Christ, you will die in your sins and reap all the evil you’ve sown by paying for your own sins in hell. That’s real talk.
[I think Christ is baph’s alter ego savior by day and destroyer by night just like satanist today]
Your opinion is not based on facts. Jesus Christ never contradicted himself. Your statement is much like the Pharisees who said Jesus cast out devils by the power of the devil, to which Jesus responded, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?” (Matthew 12:25-26). If Jesus were divided as you claim, then his kingdom would not still be around–there would be no Christians and no Bible.
[Only a fool can not see that the new testament is just a reverse of the old.]
Again, you have no proof but are just stating your wishful thinking because you don’t like the fact that the Bible speaks against the sins you enjoy, so you have to come up with anything in your mind to try to tear it down. You’re not doing a good job of it. Here’s a comparison between what the OT says and what the NT says:
OT: Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it… Deuteronomy 4:2
NT: If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Revelation 22:18-19
OT: The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord… Isaiah 61:1-2
NT: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Luke 4:18-19
OT: I believed, therefore have I spoken… Psalm 116:10
NT: We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak… 2 Corinthians 4:13
OT: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…his name shall be called…The mighty God, The everlasting Father… Isaiah 9:6
NT: Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Matthew 1:23
NT: Jesus saith unto him…he that hath seen me hath seen the Father… John 14:9
OT: Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me… Isaiah 29:13
NT: He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Mark 7:6
OT: Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. Deuteronomy 25:4
NT: For it is written in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. 1 Corinthians 9:9
It seems to me that only a fool could not see the OT and NT say the same thing, not the reverse.
[The devils you speak of all came from religions about sons born from immaculate conception way, way, way before Christ.]
This myth has been debunked. So people like you only repeat it because you’ve never read the ancient pagan texts and are looking for any excuse to reject the Bible for telling you your sins are wrong and you’re on your way to hell if you don’t repent.
[Where does the bible say satan knows God’s plan?]
Satan knows the Bible and God’s prophecies. Genesis prophesied about a coming Messiah, Satan just didn’t know the exact time. Satan inspired Herod the Great to kill the baby boys in Bethlehem because Satan knew God’s plan. He tempted Jesus in the wilderness because he knew God’s plan, but he’s not aware of all the details.
[Why would god then model his religion off of satanism?]
He doesn’t. That’s just your assumption based on lies and it’s a faulty assumption as I’ve shown throughout my response to you. You have no legitimate basis to reject the Bible or Jesus. You need to repent of your sins and believe in Jesus, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life,” (John 3:16).

Essentially, Laura, you are being hypocritical here. You hate it when Christians disregard the points of view of others, but somehow, someway, it’s perfectly fine for you to disregard the Christian point of view since it doesn’t agree with your own view. Your statement screams hypocrisy. You say Christians are close-minded as you yourself are shown to be close-minded. If you knew all religions well enough, you would know that all of them claim to be the right one. The only way one can determine which one is really the right one is by examining the facts, which you refuse to do because you are close-minded. Once a person has discovered the truth about something, it’s perfectly fine to close one’s mind, but in cases such as yours where you have not discovered the truth, being close-minded will be your downfall. For example, when one finds out that 2 hydrogen atoms combined with one oxygen atom are what makes water, one does not have to consider any other chemical combination of atoms for making water.
[If you have so many comments to defend yourself against people who are unimpressed by it, then it only proves the lack of motivation on your part, to provide something well thought out, unbiased, and embellished with facts.]
Actually, it just shows that people are quite content with buying into the lies that oppose Christianity’s truth. They love their sin instead of the Savior. It’s amusing that you would tell me to think things through and be unbiased and consider facts when you have failed to do any of the these three things you wish I would do. You have only presented your opinion with no facts and the opinions you do submit are hypocritical and contradictory. When you show yourself to be contradictory as you have here, do you realize what that means, Laura? It means you have revealed that you are not someone whose opinion can be trusted. I presented my case with statements made by Eliphas Levi himself, who worshiped Baphomet and whose painting of the character is one of the most popular depictions of Baphomet. Yet you have presented no facts whatsoever. So who is really the one who submitted statements embellished with facts? Hint: it isn’t you.

Do not believe what this article says, do your own research and do not let your judgement clouded by stupid doctrines and beliefs, especially not the belief in the Christian god, who is completely false. Only a practitioner of the occult knows who the real Creator God is, so if you want answers start from there. Don’t settle on incomplete and false articles written from the point of view of religion. Points of view are illusions.

That’s interesting. You want people to just believe what you’ve said, but you don’t provide sources. You’re deceived about who the real God is, but you’re entitled to your false doctrines. I’ve proven what I said with an extensive quote from Eliphas Levi himself in an earlier comment which backs up my post as any reader can clearly see.

the bible says, the bible says, the bible says…. ugh… you might want to know that the bible was written by MAN and not “God”. Jesus as a character was invented by Josephus PISO and he represented himself as that character of a POLITICAL CAMPAIGN in the guise of a “Savior”. You need no savior… save YOURSELF. You’ve been conned, big time. Sorry to break it to you. and there is no devil… boogyman, MAN is the worst of it, man has done worse THEMSELF more than that fictional character ever did.

zerone,
It’s actually you who has been conned. You haven’t checked your facts. All you’ve done, like the negative commenters who preceded you, is embraced the liars who believe as you do in your hatred of Christianity because the Bible confronts you about the sins you love. And as I’ve stated plenty of times before, if the Bible were a construction of men, it would not be so accurate in the science it talks about centuries before the scientific truths were discovered. If it were just a construction of man, it would not be so accurate in its prophecies being fulfilled. Nor would it record such accurate eyewitness accounts which historical documents have verified.
And as far as Jesus is concerned, Josephus was not the only ancient secular historical source that speaks of him. So you’ve shown yourself to be someone who is not a student of history. If you were familiar with history, you would know Jesus of Nazareth’s existence is verified by these 1st & 2nd century sources:
1.Tacitus, Roman historian
2.Pliny the Younger, Roman politician
3.Phlegon, freed slave & historian
4.Thallus, 1st century historian
5.Suetonius, Roman historian
6.Lucian, Greek satirist
7.Celsus, Roman philosopher
8.Mara Bar-Serapion, Roman citizen
9.Jewish Talmud
Basically, you’ve shown you don’t know how to research or think for yourself. If someone tells you lies about Christianity that speak against Christianity, you just accept it because of your hatred for spiritual truth. How sad and how gullible.

ATROCIOUS DRIVEL!!! The author of this article has so little understanding of what he speaks of. Never mind that he uses the briefest, context-less quotations to justify his own, COMPLETELY distorted, subjective interpretation of what he (wants to) believe the Baphomet symbol represents. The painful irony is how he lumps together various differing, even contradictory, uses, understandings, and definitions of what the symbol represents simply so he can (inaccurately) lump together all the so-called false-religions; while conveniently sidestepping the unity that the Baphomet symbol has with Christian doctrine.
There’s so many ins here that it is hard to pick just one; so I’ll go for the most potent: the pentagram, as depicted in the Baphomet image drawn by Levi, represents the union of man and God. Not a “false god”, as you put it, but the exact same God that you believe in: YHWH/JHVH (which is often, incorrectly pronounced as “Jehovah”). If you want that expounded on, I suggest you read more of Levi’s writings and you’ll come across his drawing of the Tetragrammaton Pentagram, which combines the unspeakable name of that who you refer to as “God” (and by doing so, you accept the pagan concept and vocabulary for a deity; which I personally think is a very limiting and simplistic confinement of the greatness of that wonderful Divine Spirit) with astrological and Jewish/Kabbalah signs to represent the perfection of mankind/the material (it is not a talisman for “communicating with devils”, as the author of this article randomly infers, but a symbol meant to bring one closer to the divine and expel anything opposed to the divine light). In short, the Pentagram, so long as one point is ascended (and this makes a HUGE difference) represents exactly what Jesus Christ is: the perfect equilibrium where the Divine Spirit (“God”, if you prefer) imbues and perfects the material. The Baphomet symbol, as designed by Levi, reinforces the exact same thing.
Now, there is obvious confusion on the part of the author here regarding the existence of multiple, even contradictory Baphomets. There are essentially 3 different, significant Baphomets. There is the Baphomet of the Knights Templars, which is believed to be tied the prophet Mohamed – it is believed that the Muslims chanting Mohamed name was heard and interpreted, phonetically, as Baphomet. There is the Baphomet image designed by Levi, which is featured at the top of the page and I shall explain better in a moment. Then, there is the Baphomet of the Satanists, which completely inverts the meaning and values that Levi was expressing with his drawing.
There are two major differences between the Satanic inversion/perversion of Levi’s Baphomet symbol. The first being that the Satanist’s definitive image of Baphomet consists of simply the goat’s head within an inverted pentagram (2 points up, one point down). This is to signify that the material (represented by both the goat’s head and the two points of the pentagram) are placed in the position of glorification over the spiritual (which is represented by the single, 5th point of the pentagram). All other images from Levi’s Baphomet are absent – including, most significantly – the flaming torch above/behind the goat’s head. This is a crucial element. You see Satanism as a religion is really just a kitschy form of atheism (that’s right, for all the fear and power most Christians invest Satanism with, it doesn’t even have a serious agenda other than to essentially ‘troll’ your belief system). It exalts the materialistic and aims to undermine the concept of spirit. Now, in Levi’s drawing of Baphomet, the flaming torch – extending from the point over the right-side-up pentagram – represents the divine spark or spiritual emanating from within the goat’s head; which represents the bestial, material element of mankind and our universe. To quote directly from Levi (a passage that seems to have conspicuously withheld by the author of this article ): “The ugly beast’s head expresses the horror of the sinner, whose materially acting, solely responsible part has to bear the punishment exclusively; because the soul is insensitive according to its nature and can only suffer when it materializes.”
So, you see, the goat head – which of course immediately conjures images of the devil for anyone raised in a Christine (Catholic to be more specific, since all of our modern images and symbols of Christ, Satan and religious events emanate from Catholic, religious art) culture where a goat-like visage has become identified with the Devil [a relatively modern development in the grand scheme of things] – is meant to depict the material; the flesh. It is that base point where each of us begins and strives to ascend out of (this Christian AND Alchemical journey sees each of us evolve from a spiritually leaden state into a vibrant, golden one). The Satanists/Atheists and you so-called Christians all place the emphasis on the goat’s head and fail to see the Divine spirit/God that resides beneath it. The whole point of Levi imbuing his drawing with such a grotesque front piece is so that the truly sophisticated, spiritually enlightened viewer would be rewarded for their knowledge (Sophia) and spiritual awareness and see past the material, symbolic aspects of the sign to the deep spiritual truth underneath: Christ’s truth. All others, whom he deemed the profane (and which describes anyone on this site who goes in for the author of this page’s complete hogwash), would fail to understand and turn away in revulsion at the superficial aspects on display.
You see, Levi, unlike many here, understood the purpose of symbols. They are intended to guide from the physical into the spiritual. They are means of expressing wondrous spiritual concepts that are otherwise so great and wondrous that they are beyond expression and tangibility (like referring to the Great Divine Spirit as “God” simply so we can find a name to describe it). The problem with many people – those profane, ignorant fools who buy into the drivel on this site – is that they imbue too much value into the signs themselves; rarely understanding what they truly represent. The author of this page was accurate in understanding the meaning behind the Hermetic rod with intertwined serpents; however, he shoots himself in the foot by trying to make into a devil’s tool with its eerie occult/pagan roots. I have news for you, Harry, unless you’re not too familiar with your Bible you’ll recall that the rod of Hermes pops up and is used by Moses – under the direction of God, no less – to protect the people of God from deadly snakes. So, the followers of Hermes were either influenced by the same God as the Israelites or He just really like their symbol and wanted the Jewish tribes to use it too. Either way, you’re argument is starting to look pretty flimsy. This wouldn’t be the first time that a Christian was ignorant of the pagan influence on Christianity, still exemplified in practice today.
Let’s take the Jesus fish, better known as the vesica pisces, which is a pagan symbol representing the goddess’s vagina; from which all life was believed to flow. So, whoever designed this symbol was either playing a wicked prank or they were exemplifying the very concepts that Levi’s Baphomet represent and you seem to find so troubling. By coupling a distinctly feminine symbol with the masculine name of Jesus, we see the divine joining of the feminine and masculine traits of all creation, the Alchemical Wedding; Spiritual equilibrium. You see, for how often you like to pretend God is a man, the Divine Spirit is just what I refer to it as – Spirit – and therefore outside and beyond of any physical, biological, gender-defining signifier. This is why Levi valued androgyny – because it represents equilibrium between the masculine and feminine aspects of creation and spirit; since both man and woman emanate from what we label God. Androgyny, then, is a better signifier to the spirit/God since these are traits that were broken apart and separated to form the material order in which we now exist. Androgyny represents the joining back together of these elements. There’s absolutely nothing sinister about that. Perhaps, the implications of sexual couplings bother you? I don’t see why, since sex is the only means by which the human race came about and will continue to do so (it’s worth noting that the author of this article randomly asserts that Levi specifically endorsed sex outside of marriage, despite there being no quotations from Levi’s writings to validate this clam; more “creative” inferring on the author’s part, I assert). Anyways, if the Bible is to be interpreted as a historical text, we must realize that all of humankind is descended from the incestuous coupling of one family; I don’t know why we don’t hear many diatribes against the book of Genesis based on this evidence.
Hopefully I brought some enlightenment to this pool of shadowed thought and commandment breaking lies. If anyone wants to challenge any of what I have said, you are welcome. However, be warned that I have the luxury of understanding what I speak of and have researched it thoroughly. I suggest you do the same before challenging my argument, otherwise you’ll find yourself eviscerated and humiliated by Divine, objective truth. May Sophia find you all!

TommyB,
I hope if you leave a comment in the future, that it won’t be as long-winded. If not, I’ll have to shorten it. Anyone who knows the true God of the Bible knows that what’s really drivel is your comment. You’re an occultist kabbalist who is defending one of the most influential kabbalists of all time–Eliphas Levi. That alone tells those of us who love the truth that you have spoken nothing but lies. I provided specific sources that people can consult for themselves at a public library or online to verify what I’ve said, yet you just want us to take your misguided word and want us to assume your lies are the truth just because you were the one who said it. That just doesn’t fly.
Leave it to an occultist such as yourself to call light darkness and darkness light; to call bitter sweet and sweet bitter; and to claim good is evil and evil is good (Isaiah 5:20). It’s exactly what your spiritual father, Satan, does all the time. Like father, like son in your case.
Your attempt to claim there are 3 different Baphomets is a feeble one at best. All 3 versions are rooted in Luciferian traditions, whether Knights Templar, Eliphas Levi, or the Satanists. You claim Eliphas Levi’s version was different, but Eliphas Levi was a satanist and a freemason in the Knights Templar order. Here’s what he said in his book “Mysteries of Magic” on p. 428, “What is more absurd and more impious than to attribute the name of Lucifer to the devil, that is, to personified evil. The intellectual Lucifer is the spirit of intelligence and love; it is the paraclete, it is the Holy Spirit, while the physical Lucifer is the great agent of universal magnetism.” Kabbalists, such as yourself, New Agers, Freemasons, Satanists, and witches all hold Eliphas Levi in high esteem and his words reveal who all of you are really serving. You’re a liar and the truth is not in you. Eliphas Levi even knew that Lucifer and his devils were actual persons because he actively participated in seances and transcendental meditation to speak to them. So by defending him and his take on Baphomet, you are promoting his devilish form of worship and are partaker in the same sins he participated in.
Furthermore, you even contradict yourself regarding the Bible and the people mentioned in it. On the one hand you want Christians to embrace the falsehood that they have the same spiritual roots as pagans, Satanists, etc. that you falsely believe are reflected in the Bible through Moses and Christ, then you make the claim that the Bible should be dismissed based on the book of Genesis and the intermarrying among family members that occurred. You use the Bible as proof that your claims are true, then tell us the Bible should not be accepted as true, which is essentially telling us that we should dismiss most of what you said since you based it on the Bible. You have blatantly broken the law of noncontradiction since the Bible cannot be true and untrue at the same time. You inadvertently admit by your own admission your arguments are lies since you say the Bible isn’t true.
Bottom line, you need Jesus Christ as your Lord and not the fake Christ you talk about in your comment. It’s time for you to ditch the falsehoods of Baphomet and embrace the truth that you are a sinner in need of the only salvation that comes only through Jesus of Nazareth.

You certainly enjoy throwing “hot-button” words around without showing any discernible understanding of what they mean. You labeled me an occultist and a Kabbalist. Well, occult simply means “hidden”; as in reference to the spiritual world which is invisible to the physical. Kabbalah is a complex school of thought that has been tied very closely to Judaism and Christianity. So, none of that is remotely devil-worship-y.
As for trying to get people to take only my “misguided word”, I made it quite clear that I’m using the same sources that you are; the crucial difference is that I understand what I’m talking about. I don’t know what sources you are employing when irresponsibly claiming that Levi is (and thereby implying that I too am) a Satanist. I encourage anyone reading this to actually read Levi’s text, so that they can see that there is not a single instance of support for the devil.
You use his quotations about the symbolic understanding of Lucifer, like you have done with all other quotations from Levi, without context. In Levi’s writings, Lucifer is distinct from Satan; as he also is in the Bile. Lucifer is a name given by God, meaning “light-bearer”.
Lucifer, as it says in the Bible, was the most loved and wonderful angel. He becomes corrupted and then perverted into Satan; Lucifer dies as a result of corruption. Now, I don’t take this story literally signifying an external devil, but simply as a myth that illustrates the true, spiritual degradation that all human spirit endures when submerged into the material order.
To be clear, I don’t view the Bible as a literally true, historical document. I view it as an enlightened, holy text that uses mythological symbols to express universal spiritual truths. I don’t care what your opinion on that is, but I want to make clear what my position is on the Bible, since that was the bulk of your “counter-argument” in the absence of any evidence to support your groundless claims.
Again, I encourage anyone reading this to actually read the texts by Levi so that they can understand that Harry Gaylord is the only one trying to deceive people here. He literally lies to backup his claims in the absence of any evidence (that he understands, at least) to back them up. Read what Levi said about Baphomet and the pentagram and then look at what the Satanists say about it. You will find, as I have said and Harry has denied, that they are in fact completely contradictory. I have no agenda other than speaking the truth: God’s truth.

[He becomes corrupted and then perverted into Satan; Lucifer dies as a result of corruption]
Lucifer isn’t dead. Lucifer became Satan at the moment he rebelled against God and he was kicked out of heaven with the angels who followed him in his rebellion as explained in Revelation 12.
[Kabbalah is a complex school of thought that has been tied very closely to Judaism and Christianity. So, none of that is remotely devil-worship-y.]
Liar. Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God. You are of your father, the devil. Kabbalah is a Luciferian religion of gnosticism. It is devilish in many ways. One example is that it promotes observing the sun, moon, and stars to map out decisions for one’s life. This practice of astrology is known as observing times or divination and is often done by consulting mediums. God’s word condemns these practices:
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord… Deuteronomy 18:10-12
The Kabbalah claims to follow the books of Moses. If that’s the case, why are they in such blatant violation of them by observing times through astrology?
Another violation of God’s word that they commit is their practice of following the Sefer Yetsira, the Book of Formation that Kabbalists claim Abraham wrote. This is not part of the inspired, accepted canon of genuine Jewish law. God gave commandments throughout his word not to add to it or take away from it when his word says:
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. Deuteronomy 4:2
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Proverbs 30:5-6
So once again the Kabbalah is shown to be lies because they have violated God’s word by following a book that adds to God’s word in that it falsely claims to be divine. So, TommyB, the more you make your false claims, the more you are shown to be a liar and deceiver.
[I’m using the same sources that you are]
I seriously doubt it. You haven’t even given one quote in context from any source that refutes any of the quotes from Levi that I’ve quoted. And if you’ve come to the conclusions that he didn’t worship the Serpent/Lucifer/Satan/the devil, then you’re just as blind as he was. Liar. Deceiver. Child of the devil. Repent, for the kingdom of God is here. You are on the path leading straight to hell and you need to call on Jesus of Nazareth to save your lost, condemned soul.

Well, first off you keep referring to that which I prefer to describe as YHWH or simply the Divine Spirit as “God”. Now that’s a word that comes from the Hebrew word Elohim; a generic word that denotes any deity. Therefore it can refer to Baal, Moloch or any other pagan god as easily as that which you constantly misname as “Jehovah”. So, even the name you choose to call the spirit by is “steeped in paganism”… you’ve…avoided addressing the pagan roots of the “Jesus fish”/vesica piscis or that “God” clearly instructs – in Numbers 21:8-9 – Moses to build the rod of the Greek god Asclepius (I mistakenly confused it with the Rod of Hermes, earlier. You see, I point out my mistakes in the favor of greater truth. …). So the “God” of the Bible seems to have some purpose for pagan iconography.
[Lucifer isn’t dead. Lucifer became Satan… ]
I find it ironic that we’re going to argue the minutia of a word – “Lucifer” – that only appears once in the Bible… Now, to make my point perfectly clear, the “shining one” of the Bible is regard as “God’s” pinnacle of creation before he falls and is transformed into what is described as the “prince of darkness”. …In the spiritual tradition of Levi, the story of the “shining one’s” descent into darkness is seen, not as a literal history, but as a symbolic parable about the fall of the Divine Light… The Bible then, from the fall of man, to the fall of “Lucifer”, to the descent of “God” into the physical realm (Christ) is seen as a work in line with the alchemical spiritual journey…which encompasses the journey back toward the Divine Light… Now, if you need more evidence that Levi viewed the symbolic “Lucifer” as separate and distinct from the the devil, I’ll just let him speak for himself:
“What is more absurd and more impious than to attribute the name of Lucifer to the devil, that is, to personified evil, The intellectual Lucifer is the spirit of intelligence and love; it is the Paraclete, it is the Holy Spirit, while the physical Lucifer is the great agent of universal magnetism. To personify evil and exalt it into an intelligence which is the rival of God, into a being which can understand but love no more – this is a monstrous fiction. To believe that God permits this evil intelligence to deceive and destroy his feeble creatures is to make God more wicked than the devil. By depriving the devil of the possibility of love and repentance, God forces him to do evil. Moreover a spirit of error and falsehood can only be a folly which thinks, nor does it deserve indeed the name of spirit. The devil is God’s antithesis, and if we define God as He who is we must define His opposite as he who is not.” Eliphas Levi, The Mysteries of Magic.
[Kabbalah is a Luciferian religion of gnosticism. It is devilish in many ways. One example is that it promotes observing the sun, moon, and stars to map out decisions for one’s life..]
And the Bible has never employed astrological patterns to denote meaning?
“Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.” (Matthew 2:2)
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and] rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.” (Psalms 19:1-6)
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.” (Luke 21:25-26)
…
[ Another violation of God’s word that they commit is their practice of following the Sefer Yetsira, the Book of Formation that Kabbalists claim Abraham wrote. This is not part of the inspired, accepted canon of genuine Jewish law. ]
You are, again, distorting facts and information to suit your argument. It is true that some Kabbalists theorize that the Sefer Yetsira might have been written by Abraham, but this is a debated topic. …
When it comes down to it, Kabalah aims to better understand the will and true word of the Divine. You materialistically deify the literal text of the physical Bible itself. I am under no such delusion. The word of “God” is that spiritual light that exists beyond and within the symbols; not the symbols themselves. That’s like claiming that the pentagram or the crucifix or a painting of Jesus is in itself an embodiment of YHWH. None of which is true. They, like the Bible, are abstracted symbols that allow us a way into the intangible spiritual realm, by making those concepts tangible to the human mind. …
[Get thee behind me, Satan. For you desire the things that are of men and not the things of God.]
I find it hilarious how…I have now gone from being not simply a Satanist, but the devil himself. …I’ll just leave you with a final quote from Levi to…show…his values – and…my own – were not of the flesh, the immoral or the materialistic; but simply to know and love that glorious Divine Spirit…
“[Baphomet] is a knowledge rising in opposition to idolatry, protesting though the very monstrosity of the idol. The Israelites were forbidden to give divine concepts the figure of a man or of any animal; thus, on the ark of the covenant and in the sanctuary, they dared sculpt only cherubs, that is, sphinxes with the bodies of bulls and the heads of men, eagles or lions. These mixed figures reproduced neither the complete form of any man, nor that of any animal. These hybrid creations of impossible animals gave to understand that the image was not an idol or reproduction of a living thing, but rather a character or representation of something having its existence in thought. Baphomet is not worshipped; it is God who is worshipped, this faceless God behind this formless form, this image which resembles no created being. Baphomet is not a God; He is the sign of initiation.” Levi, Eliphas. The Book of Splendours, page 118.

[the Hebrew word Elohim; a generic word that denotes any deity]
Not when it specifically names the god that it’s referring to. You’re saying Baal=Moloch=Jehovah and that’s not the case at all. Worshiping Baal is called evil by Jehovah. If all these gods were the same, then they would all agree and not contradict each other as in the following cases:
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD [Jehovah], and served Baalim: And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger. And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth. And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies. [Judges 2:11-14]
And the king [Josiah] commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD [Jehovah] all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove [Asherah], and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron 2 Kings 23:4
And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin. Jeremiah 32:35
Worshiping Baal and Molech was evil and an abomination in Jehovah’s eyes. So your attempts to equalize them, just like your attempt to say using “Jehovah” is wrong, are simply attempts from someone who is deceived to cause confusion. And the author of confusion is none other than your spiritual father, Satan. So once again, like father, like son.
[ you’ve…avoided addressing the pagan roots of the “Jesus fish”/vesica piscis]
This is a subject not worth covering since the Bible does not say anywhere that Christians should use any fish symbol. I go by what the Bible says, not what man’s traditions say regarding symbol.
[“God” clearly instructs – in Numbers 21:8-9 – Moses to build the rod of the Greek god Asclepius]
TommyB, brush up on your history. First, all pagan traditions have been shown to add to or subtract from their scriptures, teachings, myths, etc. Greek mythology was no different (see Martin P. Nilsson’s The Mycenaean Origin of Greek Mythology, available free online). The first mention of Asclepius is by Greek poet Hesiod in 700 BC. Moses and his writings date back to the 1400s BC. And the two accounts are very different from each other. In Moses’ account, many poisonous serpents were slithering through the Israelite camp biting people, who subsequently died. Moses made a brass serpent that those who were bitten had to look at to be healed. Asclepius had a live serpent crawl up his staff that gave him an herb to heal. But I would say from 1400 BC to 700 BC is plenty of time for Greeks to plagiarize or incorporate Hebrew accounts into their own with some changes to make their account look legit.
[The Bible then, from the fall of man, to the fall of “Lucifer”, to the descent of “God” into the physical realm (Christ) is seen as a work in line with the alchemical spiritual journey]
So basically you, like other pagan traditions, are implying Jesus was just one representation of many Christs like Buddha or Vishnu and that we all are born with the Christ-conscious ability in us that we have to awaken within us by our own efforts. We must save ourselves (become divine) with the use of magick (alchemy). That’s not what the Bible teaches. The Bible says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: It is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast,” (Ephesians 2:8-9). Since the Bible is true, that makes you a liar for contradicting it.
[And the Bible has never employed astrological patterns to denote meaning?]
The Bible never condones astrology. Astrology is the use of heavenly bodies to tell fortunes about one’s future and to make decisions for selfish gain, human exaltation, or worship of an idol based on how heavenly bodies are aligned. That’s the Bible’s definition based on the context of “divination” and “observer of times.” The scriptures you listed don’t do that. God revealed to the Magi that they should forsake pagan idolatry and used the star to direct them to the literal God in the flesh, the Lord Jesus Christ. And when they found the toddler Jesus, they bowed down and worshiped him as God. Psalm 19:1-6 is simply acknowledging the awesomeness of Jehovah as exhibited through his creation. They are the physical proof and testimony of Jehovah’s literal existence and his literal power as the only one who should be worshiped. Paul explained this further in Romans 1:18-20 that God has made his existence clearly known by his physical creation in the heavens and earth and in man’s inherent knowledge that we should worship him and not a false god as you do.
The Luke scripture you mention is simply pointing out that God will use what he created as signs of his power to judge sinful mankind. It in no way is telling man to look to heavenly bodies to find out what they should do today to exalt themselves or a false god. Your pagan, reprobate, satanically-inspired mind is just attempting to twist God’s word for your ungodly pagan ends. I, like Paul, “have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully” (2 Corinthians 4:2) as you choose to do.
[You materialistically deify the literal text of the physical Bible itself. I am under no such delusion.]
You are delusional by making this statement. I don’t deify the Bible, I worship the God who gave us his Bible. And he has proven his Bible can be trusted historically, scientifically, and spiritually. Many prophecies he has given have literally come true in the history of mankind, as I have shown elsewhere on this blog. He has literally healed the sick miraculously and raised the dead, as I have shared many times at this blog. So your argument that the Bible is only symbolic is mere folderol and delusional poppycock. It’s right up there with Mother Goose and Grimm’s Fairy Tales.
And your belief along with Levi’s that the Devil is not an actual person is the same thing the Church of Satan claims. So you’re right in line with their doctrine of lying and denying his existence while you worship him in secret. Furthermore, Levi lied when he said the devil is God’s antithesis because they would have to be equals. The devil cannot be God’s equal since God created him and had the power to kick him out of heaven. Even by your own admission, Lucifer descended into darkness and you admit God did not. Someone who is strong enough not to fall is far superior to someone who has fallen into darkness even in your warped concept of a conceptual non-literal devil and God. Therefore, Levi’s statement is a false one since God would have no antithesis since no one equals him.

No I didn’t. I said that the word “Elohim” is a generic word meaning “deity” and therefore not uniquely Jewish/Christian. This was to refute your dismissal of my beliefs… The fact that you keep calling YHWH by a name that has significant rooting in the pagan tradition was…your own short-sightedness. (I still don’t understand why you keep clinging to the term “Jehovah”…).
[The first mention of Asclepius is by Greek poet Hesiod in 700 BC. Moses and his writings date back to the 1400s BC. And the two accounts are very different from each other… I would say from 1400 BC to 700 BC is plenty of time for Greeks to plagiarize or incorporate Hebrew accounts into their own with some changes to make their account look legit.]
I wasn’t arguing which came first. My point is that there is an overlap between the Jewish/Christian tradition and the Pagan one. … I believe the symbol denotes the same inspired truth regardless of which cultural tradition it extends from. In both cases the rod denotes healing characteristics…
[God revealed to the Magi that they should forsake pagan idolatry and used the star to direct them to the literal God in the flesh, the Lord Jesus Christ.]
This ties into what I was just saying above. You clearly explain in the above quotation that “God” employed a star to lead the pagan Maggi to the literal Christ. …you just encapsulated the essence of what I believe. …what we have here is an example of your rigid, strictly Christian concept of “God” revealing “Himself” through the aid of pagan iconography. The pagans discovered Christ through the structure of their own theological perceptions. …
[Astrology is the use of heavenly bodies to tell fortunes about one’s future and to make decisions for selfish gain, human exaltation, or worship of an idol based on how heavenly bodies are aligned]
If this is what you think Kabbalah does then I’ll just post a simple quote to refute your claim.
“When we begin to study Kabbalah, we immediately find ourselves under the private guidance of the Creator, and then no fortune teller or magician can do anything to us, since we are on a completely different path. We move to a different level of progress. None of them can predict anything for us because we are out of the control of the collective law of nature. The Spiritual Force and nature work differently on us.” (from kabbalah.info, under the section “Fortune Tellers – Social Assistance”, by Michael Laitman, PhD).
[So basically you, like other pagan traditions, are implying Jesus was just one representation of many Christs like Buddha or Vishnu and that we all are born with the Christ-conscious ability in us that we have to awaken within us by our own efforts. We must save ourselves (become divine) with the use of magick (alchemy). That’s not what the Bible teaches. The Bible says, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: It is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast,” (Ephesians 2:8-9). Since the Bible is true, that makes you a liar for contradicting it.]
The Jesus of the Bible is YHWH made flesh (in the form of a man), Buddha is a man who achieved enlightenment, and Vishnu is the Supreme God of Vaishnavism (which is a part of Hinduism). Now, what I ACTUALLY believe is that Divine Spirit can be known to the Jews as YHWH and simultaneously be reinterpreted, through a completely different cultural perspective as Vishnu (and if we go along and believe that Buddha found enlightenment, then that is just another way of describing a total state of Communion with the Divine Spirit). …the Divine Spirit resides within men. So, you are inaccurately trying to demonize me by saying that I believe, “We must save ourselves (become divine) with the use of magick (alchemy)”. The “magick” you describe is the Divine Spirit inhabiting us/me/even you. I am not using some exterior sorcery… I am simply re-connecting my soul/my spirit with YHWH’s; where all spirits emanate from originally. …
I don’t like to used the word “saved”…it implies that my relationship with the Divine is based on fear and a desire for a reward. I don’t serve the Divine for “salvation”, I strive – imperfectly, but earnestly – to serve the Spirit simply because I believe it is right… I don’t do it to escape hell or gain heaven. I don’t fear the fires of any hell…such a state of suffering exists outside of my communion with the Divine. I am with “Him” and so I live in bliss…
Ultimately, I don’t care what you think about what I believe. I’m under no delusions of broadening your narrow mindset. My purpose, here, was to correct and refute inaccuracy of your claims regarding specific symbols and their meanings. You said the, above, Baphomet symbol was a satanic deity, I showed you quotes from the creator of the image himself stating the exact opposite. … Remember the 9th commandment Harry…

[…you keep calling YHWH by a name that has significant rooting in the pagan tradition…]
TommyB, you are misinformed. “Jehovah” is the actual pronunciation. Maybe you’re confused because the Watchtower Society has hijacked the name. But according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th ed., 1910-1911 in vol. 15, pages 311-314, Jews had used Jehovah (Yehovah) as the name & pronunciation for God centuries before the Christian era. This is verified by the New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge of 1912 in vol. VI on page 117 and vol. XII on page 470. Even the early church has been documented as having used that name & pronunciation. The Hebrew letter “jod” before the modern era was pronounced as the English j or soft g when transliterated from the Hebrew. “Yahweh” was made the spelling & pronunciation by Jew-hating Germans when they spread the false claim that the God of the Jews was the same as the pagan Babylonian & Canaanite deity “Yaho.” German scholars in the 19th century like Genebrardus, Driver, and Delitzsch helped spread this lie worldwide to justify their anti-semitism until everyone, including Jews, adopted it. To verify this, just look at how the Hebrew words for Jerusalem and Joshua are pronounced which have the same Hebrew letter combinations at the beginning of the words.
[My point is that there is an overlap between the Jewish/Christian tradition and the Pagan one. … I believe the symbol denotes the same inspired truth regardless of which cultural tradition it extends from.]
Actually what it symbolizes is that the god of this world is a hack who makes a habit of taking what God does and counterfeiting it to glorify his evil. To use the word “overlap” is to say that the original brass serpent used to glorify God is equal to the pagan symbol that glorifies Lucifer/Satan/the devil. But I wouldn’t expect the evil cabal to know the difference.
[You clearly explain…that “God” employed a star to lead the pagan Maggi to the literal Christ. …you just encapsulated the essence of what I believe…what we have here is an example of your…concept of “God” revealing “Himself” through the aid of pagan iconography.]
No, God did not use pagan iconography to reveal himself to the Magi. They had the revelation before the star appeared just like they had a revelation after they saw & worshiped the Christ child. Firstly, God revealed himself to them somehow (probably through a Jew of the diaspora who shared Jewish scripture) to let them know that he, Jehovah, was the one true God. They forsook their paganism. Then God told them he was about to appear in human form and the sign of his coming would be a special star placed over the town where he would be found. When the star appeared, the wise men organized a caravan and a collection of gifts then began their long journey. The star came after their conversion as verification of God’s truth and their faith and was not a means to convert them as you are stating.
[Kabbalah [is] under the private guidance of the Creator, and then no fortune teller or magician can do anything to us, since we are on a completely different path. …None of them can predict anything for us because we are out of the control of the collective law of nature.]
The evil cabal like all other anti-Jehovah pagan traditions is glaring with contradictions and subtle wordplay. And this is an example so thanks for offering it. Eliphas Levi, whom the evil cabal holds in high regard, says this about astrology:
“Jerome Cardan, one of the boldest students, and beyond contradiction the most skilful astrologer of his time … has left a calculation by means of which anyone can foresee the good or evil fortune attached to all years of his life. His theory was based upon his own experiences, and he assures us that the calculation never deceived him. To ascertain the fortune of a given year, he sums up the events of those which have preceded it by 4, 8, 12, 19 and 30; the number 4 is that of realization; 8 is the number of Venus or natural things; 12 belongs to the cycle of Jupiter and corresponds to successes; 19 has reference to the cycles of the Moon and of Mars; the number 30 is that of Saturn or Fatality. …Hence I conclude that, for myself and for this year, experience confirms fully the precision of Cardan’s astrological calculus, which connects furthermore with the climacteric years of ancient astrologers.” [Dogma et Rituel de la Haute Magie, pages 144-145]
I said before, “Astrology is the use of heavenly bodies to tell fortunes about one’s future and to make decisions for selfish gain, human exaltation, or worship of an idol based on how heavenly bodies are aligned” and that’s exactly what Levi is promoting. And the quote you gave, TommyB, is just stating the fact that one can use astrology for themselves without help from fortune tellers to determine one’s own fortune and that this astrology is determining how the heavenly bodies are aligned to determine that fortune. The evil cabal has re-phrased this astrology as “The Spiritual Force and nature work[ing] differently on us,” as your quote from kabbalah.info states. Yet it’s still astrology and God (Jehovah) still hates it. So thanks for verifying what I said.
[Now, what I ACTUALLY believe is that Divine Spirit can be known to the Jews as YHWH and simultaneously be reinterpreted, through a completely different cultural perspective as Vishnu (and if we go along and believe that Buddha found enlightenment, then that is just another way of describing a total state of Communion with the Divine Spirit). …the Divine Spirit resides within men.]
You say these other traditions are “another way…of Communion with the Divine Spirit.” That contradicts what Jesus said. You admit Jesus of the Bible is Jehovah made flesh, meaning you believe he is Supreme. Then why don’t your beliefs match his teachings? If you see Jesus as being so important then you would take this to heart–“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me,” John 14:6. And the man Jesus esteemed as one of the greatest prophets, John the Baptist, said this–“He that believeth on the Son [Jesus] hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him,” John 3:36. Jesus is the only way to Jehovah. There isn’t another way. To say anything different than what Jesus said means you don’t really esteem him and, “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son,” 2 John 9. Since you believe in another way, you aren’t abiding in the doctrine of Christ.
And you just contradicted yourself again by mentioning Vishnu as the Supreme God. You disagreed with me using Elohim or Jehovah as the one true God and said it was steeped in paganism, yet somehow someway it’s perfectly okay to state that the Divine Spirit can be known in a different cultural perspective as Vishnu, the Supreme God. You toss out God’s true name Jehovah, yet embrace the use of the name of a pagan idol. Hypocrite. But that doesn’t surprise me since your “divine spirit”, Vishnu, and Buddha, are all devils which is why you like them all so much but reject Jehovah.
[I don’t like to used the word “saved”…it implies that my relationship with the Divine is based on fear and a desire for a reward.]
So you disagree with Jesus/Jehovah of the Bible who you claim to highly esteem. You also contradict yourself again. You are of the evil cabal because you believe it will bring you the reward of obtaining the Divine Spirit you speak of and you follow it out of fear of being on the wrong path that will not lead you to the Divine Spirit, which is in reality the devil. True salvation is based on grace through faith and love. There is nothing wrong with fear or a desire for a reward in certain cases. If you work your butt off on the job, you expect the reward of a raise or bonus somewhere down the line don’t you? If you have to make your way home from a social outing or from work, are you going down a street known for carjackings and muggings? Your healthy fear of preserving your own life will tell you to do the safe thing.

[You said the, above, Baphomet symbol was a satanic deity, I showed you quotes from the creator of the image himself stating the exact opposite.]
Not so fast. Here’s your quote from Eliphas Levi’s Book of Splendours:
[“[Baphomet] is a knowledge rising in opposition to idolatry, protesting though the very monstrosity of the idol. The Israelites were forbidden to give divine concepts the figure of a man or of any animal; thus, on the ark of the covenant and in the sanctuary, they dared sculpt only cherubs, that is, sphinxes with the bodies of bulls and the heads of men, eagles or lions. These mixed figures reproduced neither the complete form of any man, nor that of any animal. These hybrid creations of impossible animals gave to understand that the image was not an idol or reproduction of a living thing, but rather a character or representation of something having its existence in thought. Baphomet is not worshipped; it is God who is worshipped, this faceless God behind this formless form, this image which resembles no created being. Baphomet is not a God; He is the sign of initiation.” Levi, Eliphas. The Book of Splendours, page 118.]
The rest of what Levi says in this passage is really interesting and contradictory:
“Baphomet is not a God: he is the sign of initiation. He is also the hieroglyphic figure of the great divine Tetragrammaton. He is a hold-over from the Cherubs of the ark and the Holy of holies.
He is the guardian of the key to the temple.
Baphomet is analogous to the dark God of Rabbi Simeon. He is the dark side of the divine face. This is why, during initiation ceremonies, the member elect must kiss the hind-face of Baphomet or, to give him a more vulgar name, the Devil. Now, in the symbolism of the two faces, the hind-face of God is the Devil and the hind-face of the Devil is the hieroglyphic face of God.
Why the name of Freemasons? Free from what? From the fear of God? Yes, doubtless, for when one fears God, one is looking at him from behind. The dreadful God is the black God, the Devil. The Freemasons wish to build a spiritual temple to the one God, the God of light. …They oppose the God of the Devil and the Devil of God.”
One minute Levi is saying Baphomet is symbolic of the Tetragrammaton, which we know as “YHWH” in Hebrew and “JHVH” in English, then he says Baphomet represents the dark God and the dark side. All of this is wordplay to confuse. It’s a tactic always used by the devil and those who follow him. Levi admits that Baphomet is the devil, but also tries to disguise the obvious by attempting to bring the God of the Bible into his contradictions. And he speaks of God and the Devil as if they are equal opposites or different sides of the same coin when they’re not. Baphomet is a representation of the devil. And Levi and his followers of the evil cabal know it.

Hell is a place of never-ending torment reserved for followers of Lucifer, i.e. those who reject Jesus Christ, so you would be better off repenting.

The problem here is that you’re claiming a monopoly on good, and denouncing the occult and the following of Baphomet as ‘Evil’. How can you say this logically? Have you met all the followers of Baphomet? Do you know for a fact that it is ONLY because of their worship of Baphomet they do bad things?

Have you ever seen a toddler lie? No adult has to teach them to do it. They don’t do that from ‘social and environmental conditioning,’ it comes automatically from the sin nature we’re all born with. Maybe you don’t see lying as bad behavior unless it comes from others besides those you align yourself with–I don’t know. I know that’s what atheists tend to do. Not saying you are one since you haven’t said. It’s just something I’ve observed.
[Do you know for a fact that it is ONLY because of their worship of Baphomet they do bad things?]
What I’m saying is that because they are sinners who love sin, they follow Baphomet (i.e. Satan) so they can encourage themselves to do evil.
[I would say exactly the same for people who blindly believe in ANY supernatural being]
The operative word is “blindly.” In genuine Christianity (I say genuine because there are many counterfeits) no one ‘blindly’ follows God. God cures spiritual blindness, so if one truly believes, God requires them to ‘test the spirits’ to tell if what they’re being told or what they believe is in line with the good things God has said in the Bible. There are Christians who choose to be blind about certain things, but that isn’t belief in God–it’s a belief in doing what they think is right in their own eyes in spite of what God says. He’s not responsible for their blindness in such cases.
[The problem here is that you’re claiming a monopoly on good]
So by saying that I don’t have a monopoly on good, by default aren’t you saying you have a monopoly on good which points out my views as a ‘problem’ and wrong in comparison to YOUR views on what’s good? Don’t you see the contradiction?
I don’t have a monopoly on good. There is one who is good, that is God. I try to conform my ways to his because of that. He established what good is long before I was even conceived.
[…denouncing the occult and the following of Baphomet as ‘Evil’. How can you say this logically?]
Because Baphomet is Lucifer (Satan). Those who have been prominent Luciferians have done great evil in history and Lucifer is defended along with prominent Luciferians in history by those who presently embrace Baphomet. Luciferians they defend include Aleister Crowley, Annie Besant, Madam Blavatsky, Adolph Hitler, Eliphas Levi, Anton LaVey, and many others.
[Do you understand that “evil” is a very subjective term and actually has no real spiritual connotation]
No, I don’t because that is a wrong interpretation of evil based on what God’s word says. Now if you can make a prophecy and then have it fulfilled like the Bible does and in addition to that match the scientific and historical accuracy of what the Bible says and then based on that, provide me with a sinless, perfect Messiah who can die for my sins and rise again of his own power, then I’ll consider your take on evil.
And in any case, if evil were really subjective as you claim, then you wouldn’t waste your time coming here to knock down my take on evil while you imply your own take on evil is superior to mine, now would you? If it were subjective, then you would accept my view of evil to be equally valid as your own. That tells me that you know evil isn’t really subjective.

You’re combining too much into one concept, mixing cause and effects together, to create one singular dichotomy. You’re also reading all the interpretations way to narrowly, I actually oppose what lavey satanism represents… but you miss the entire reason to oppose it in the first place.
The fact that it denies christ isn’t a good enough reason, faith alone has always been nonsense. Most importantly is to WALK WITH CHRIST. The most important tenants are his EXACT words, not one iota more is worth compromising his principles. Get your a** out of leviticus, and study the sermon on the mound. You think you understand it?, Read it again, and again, and again. Then when you fully comprehend his message, LIVE IT AS FULLY AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. For starters anyone who is failing those teachings should be taught, not dismissed and condemned. If they are to be condemned for failing without even trying, then that is gods judgment alone. Maybe a warning is acceptable, but only from the perspective of legitimate concern… and still if you walk another path but follow his teachings that is the most important point. Id take a world that walks with jesus, but doesn’t believe in his piety anyday over what we have now…. a world where tons of people are comforted believing in his piety, but disregard all his teachings and don’t even try to walk with him.
They sure love leviticus though, they sure love condemnation, judgment and serving mammon.
The reason to oppose lavey satanism is actually brutally simple, it believes in serving oneself above all others. Levey himself described his satanism as essentially Ayn Rand with occult rituals. Christ taught us to serve others as we would ourselves, NO BETTER AND NO WORSE. Rejecting the “natural” world that the pagans worshipped, as their natural world was filled with brutality. Vengeance, Greed, survival of the fittest… all concepts Christ strongly rejected, they may be “natural” human symptoms but they deserve no worship.
My final point is simple, IF you hold oneself to his moral teachings you are not evil by definition. You may be wrong about many things, you may not even believe in him, but whether you realize it or not you walk with him. If a particular religion/philosophy/thought teaches his lessons, follows his footsteps, it is by definition “another way”. It doesn’t mean Christ isn’t the right way, …. since it would still be his teachings, understand? This doesn’t mean every way is his way, evil teachings like Ayn Rand egoism are not his way, for this reason satanism is not his way. But seriously though the symbols themselves are meaningless, just like faith alone is meaningless, it’s the teachings that matter. It’s serving mammon that makes you a satenist, even if you read Ayn Rand and THINK you belive in Christ.

[Most of these comments made me feel sad and hopeless for humanity.]
Apart from those who have a relationship with Jesus Christ, ultimately humanity is hopeless and sad because humanity is mainly evil sinners in need of the savior, Jesus of Nazareth, who “according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for” those of us who believe (1 Peter 2:3).
[…this is not a place for equality or any type of understanding]
If you were looking for the espousing of equality between belief systems of worshiping the God of the Bible vs. worshiping false gods, then no, this is definitely not a place for “equality”. For Jehovah, the God of the Bible, “is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation,” whereas “[t]he gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens,” (Jeremiah 10:10-11). Jehovah reigns supreme forever. “Equality” among gods is therefore null & void.
As far as “understanding” goes, if you expected a place where “understanding” means acceptance of pagan lies being as valid as God’s truth, then no, this is not a place of that type of “understanding.” This is a place where the idea is promoted that “[t]he fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding,” (Proverbs 9:10). So I’m happy to disappoint you if you had the misconceptions I mentioned.

Baphomet means different things to different people. He is often more so regarded as a symbol than an actual being. (Not that there aren’t those who do regard him as a being of some kind.) To equate Baphomet solely with the Christian Devil is short-sighted, however. For many people, so-called “occultists” (those involved in the traditions of Western esotericism) included, Baphomet is nothing more than an archetype and symbol of liberty and personal initiation into spiritual practice and gnosis. (Or “enlightenment”, if you’d like to use a term more appropriate to Eastern religions.)

Not true. Even people like H. P.

Just because a Luciferian says something doesn’t mean you should automatically take their word for it. You have to look at the whole body of their practices & sayings, not just one statement.

Once priest started raping little boys I denounced my religion. I always felt something was funny with it. I always asked “Why?” I got the same stupid answer of “You should never question God. It’s God’s will it’s God’s way” This was NOT a viable answer to anything. Basically i was taught a man created everything in 7 days and that Adam and Eve were the first on Earth, Moses parting the black sea and everything about Jesus. I heard the same stories year after year during the same times of years. While I was encouraged to read the bible the people doing the encouraging never read the bible. I tried Christianity and the priest there cheated on his wife. Talk about a let down. I really just didn’t understand what Jesus was doing for these people. This brings me to more of a present day me. I started working in the semiconductor industry and what my eyes have seen are mind blowing. It’s hard to believe man came up with this crazy technology. I started researching where this came from. I found conflicting reports it came from the Roswell NM UFO crash down to American claimed technology from the Nazi’s after WWII. What does this have to do with religion? Everything! I now had something to research, something with some fact to it. Something with documents behind it. The bible is a mere mystery written in 3rd person…all of it! I mean, who was around to witness a man called God making the universe in 7 days to document it? These are questions that started popping up. I’m smarter now and have a magnitude of resources to research farther into my profession. Is the technology from UFOs? Who were in these craft? Where did they come from? Did God create them too? So I research farther and the more I do the more I read the bible and moved even farther away from religion as I was starting to realize a religion is just an organization of people that believe one aspect of a unproven story and discredit anyone that doesn’t believe what they believe. I was laughed at, ridiculed, and told I was stupid for just thinking. The more I was told this the more I started to realize religion promoted hate in between other religions. Is this what God created us for? Who was this God? Who really was Jesus? Who are these people that dominate our thinking that make us despise our own humankind? The more into Nazi’s I looked the more I found occult ideas. What are these? All I know are devil ideas that the church told me. There is a devil out there that will try to steal your soul. What is this soul? I’m so engulfed in history I can’t put it down. I mean the history before any Jesus. The Earth is 5 billion years old. No way I can base my life from a man that lived only 2000 years ago. Being a Diffusion Engineer I need to think logically and believing in a man only 2000 years old answers zero questions of pyramids and the worlds mysteries. I search farther and see ancient paintings during Jesus times with UFO’s flying around. I’m curious…is this the same type UFO’s that crashed and I now make the technology from it? I read the bible more and notice all the UFO references in it. I think “there has to be something to all this”. I feel at this point my life has be wasted learning only bits and pieces of true history. I really get into ancient text. I realize the bible has stolen many stories from other civilizations. The book of Genesis for one. A story that mentions multiple Gods and how we were created in their imagine Genesis 1:26 but all I was taught was Genesis 1:27. Why was this? I realize now we are not a product of apes. That were were put here by some superior race of human beings…you guys call these Gods or one God. After years and years (over 15 years now) of religious research and alien research there is a connection. God is not a man, Jesus was not the son of a God…we was just a man that taught a great word on how to live a just and moral life. He was put here by aliens. The outer race that can’t interfere with our life but reside in the heavens and manage the stars and other races from other stars using a counsel of Gods. Could this be more likely? I have to think logically. If there is a counsel of Gods then what is this devil? I learned a ton about the soul and what the soul is here to do and hat man is designed to do…learn and gain wisdom. But you can’t learn with a closed mind….religion shut of my mind and told me not to ask questions. I learned the soul reforms again and again until it had gained enough wisdom to become one with God…or the Creation, the Creational energy that powers our soul. So what’s the devil still? The devil is nothing. There are good souls and bad souls….light and dark. That a spiritual battle is being fought in a spiritual dimension. That if you give your soul to the dark (that claimed to be the light) you will have everything you want but your soul will never evolve. I learned this is not a path I want to go down. I don’t need money that much nor do I need fame. But the logical thing to do is study your enemy. Only a fool doesn’t research Satanism to understand their weapons they use against us. I learned America was founded on Satanism which is why we see it in our everyday lives on TV. Baphomet horns are everywhere now. I learned that Judaism is derived from Satanism or Pagan practices. I can see and understand why they want a NWO, but it’s the people in charge and the mission that is evil or dark in nature. I learned we are all one. People are with the stars, heavens, dirt, plants, and animals. We all are linked. I learned there was so much more to life than to put it towards one religion. Why would anyone want to shut off their mind? Why would you not want to learn all you can learn? I learned my body is just a vessel to carry me through this life that I will die and rise again, just like Jesus. I will live many lives. I will have many dreams. I learned I’m not afraid to die anymore that dying is just a portal to a new life. I learned that there are thousands of billion of galaxies with thousands of billions of stars and it is impossible that we are the only race of humans in the vast universe. I searched for answers…..one day I got my answer. I was chosen to see God for what it is. I got experience pure love. I got to visually see The Creation. I got to be one with the creational energy that powered my spirit. It was nothing like I was taught by churches. But it was similar to what ancient text had to say. It as logical. It needed to create good and bad so the human can learn and gain wisdom. It will take us a very long time to oust this evil. But it’s up to us as humans to control what we learn. I am a better man now. I try not to judge but I see evil everywhere. I feel it’s hard to escape but I know dying for what I believe is better than living a life of lies and evil. Life is much more than we can imagine. I like symbolism because even good has crazy symbolism. There is magic of the stars. There’s a knowledge someone knows but they use it for bad. It’s the same magic (dark and light magic) just used differently. It’s what God (an Ishwish or King of Wisdom) cast the angels from the stars for teaching humans the magic when they were not ready. The counsel intervened. The fallen want to prove a point. Where has your God been in all this? Doing noting because he Creation is the true God, not a man. Christian die everyday in war. There is war among many religions, where is God? Where is he? Where is this man is the sky? Ask yourself is it logical for all this death to happen? No. It’s logical to just learn all you can and gain wisdom and you will find the true Creation.

Mike,
Where is God? Saving people from their sins everyday so they can make a positive difference, no matter how small, in their part of the world. Hospitals were a concept thought up by people who worship the God of the Bible. So were orphanages. If man is such the advanced creature you wish him to be, then why is it that the world is still in such bad shape? Man has messed up the world, yet you wish us to rely on messed up men to come up with the ultimate solutions to our problems?
Wouldn’t it be logical to look at how messed up we all are and conclude that the answer to our problems must come from someone much higher and way more intelligent and way more powerful than any force in the universe? You attempt to dismiss the Bible because you claim no human was around to see it. Yet, you turn right around and cling to UFO origin theories. What human was around to see it? So your statements contradict. If you dismiss the Bible based on that argument, then why cling to UFO theories?
You overlook a huge fact. If a being exists who has to be intelligent and advanced enough to create all time, matter, and space–the things that science proves had a beginning–wouldn’t that being automatically be intelligent enough to prove his existence without depending solely on human witnesses yet reserve the right to have human witnesses if he so chooses? He would also have to exist outside of time, matter, and space and not be subject to it. Yet your argument falsely presupposes and assumes that such a being must be subject to time, matter, and space and human logic when your words clearly show that you really don’t have concrete answers but are making guesses and leaps of blind faith.
If human logic is faulty, as is made clear by your words, how is it that you would expect God to be confined to your human logic? The statements made in the Bible–whether they be historical, scientific, or spiritual–have to withstand the ability to test them in the real world to see if they bring forth valid, believable results. That’s exactly what the Bible does. I give plenty of examples of this elsewhere here on my blog. It’s easy to blame others for your rejection of God, but the bottom line is that people reject God because they love their sin and would rather not have someone confront them with the argument that they need to be saved from them.
And when it comes to evil and suffering in the world here’s a video addressing that:

You stupid bigot. Your religion is the only religion that purposely persecutes everyone who shares a different point of view or opinion. If you actually read satanic teachings you’d be suprised to know our religion is far more superior in structure and philosophy. We actually take the time to learn about something before we make judgements and we’re forbidden from doing all the stupid sh** you do like take away people’s lives and freedoms based on their belief system. Your god is based on fascism and a dictator style of life. Satanism is nothing more than the practice of a human beings most primal nature. We do not believe in super naturally creatures. Satan, demons, angels and God’s do not exist to us. Summoning demons is a stigma you have us. Nobody does that. All we do is embrace what a human really is. A fu***** animal. We don’t go to heaven. We rot in the ground like everything else. That’s why Satanists make it a life goal to live as freely as possible. We don’t need your stupid rules and oppression.

[Your religion is the only religion that purposely persecutes everyone who shares a different point of view or opinion.]
True Christians don’t persecute. Perhaps you haven’t looked at the news lately, but Muslims are mercilessly murdering in the name of their religion. Hindus use violent attacks for no justifiable reason. Buddhists also use violence to further their cause.
Sharing one’s faith with words, songs, and other means that do not promote violence is not persecution, although people such as yourself would love to redefine persecution to mean that. The examples in the links I give above prove that your statement about Christianity & persecution is blatantly false. So you are either a liar or misinformed or both.
[our religion is far more superior in structure and philosophy.]
I’m sure that explains why Aleister Crowley was such a model citizen with his barbaric & less than stellar morals.
[Satan, demons, angels and God’s do not exist to us.]
A blatant lie. The founders of modern Satanism were known to have participated in seances to contact the spirit world. Ever heard of H. P. Blavatsky? Other prominent Luciferians/Satanists of her day did seances. And that tradition continues among you today.
[We don’t go to heaven.]
Yes, of course, I’m well aware Satanists don’t go to heaven. Thank you for stating the obvious. But plenty of people who have a relationship with God, who either died and came back or had near-death experiences, or people healed from sicknesses by means beyond science, have given powerful testimony backed by facts that offer valid proof of heaven’s existence.
So your statements boil down to some simple things. You love sin. You love your spiritual father, Satan. So using his tactics like lying are what you must do to promote your religion by any means necessary.

Well this is probably the most biased and under-researched article I have ever read. Baphomet does not have any direct links to Satanism, other than the Church of Satan creating their own sigil of Baphomet to use as the church’s copyrighted logo; however, that is a fairly recent development that doesn’t have anything to do with the real meaning behind the Baphomet idol. The Knights Templar were the first to have brought the idol into light; in a letter, written by one of the crusaders whom mentioned Baphomet, mentioned the idol in a form that is equivalent to modern Christians saying, “God, bless us,” or, “God, be with us.” That may be a rough example, but that is basically how Baphomet was mentioned in the letter. Also, it is more than likely Baphomet is a poorly translated verion of Mahomet, or Mohamed; the Templars spent a lot of time in the Middle East and they as well brought a lot of the esoteric teachings of the Kybalion and other Hermetic knowledge, of which originated in the Middle East and in Egypt, before Christianity, back with them into Europe. So it would be safe to say Baphomet is likely just the Islamic prophet lost in translation. Another point, over the years, the idol has become used a lot more in pagan circles due in largely to Eliphas Levi’s Baphomet, which is as esoteric as it is a personal illustration draw by its author. “Solve et coagula,” the inscriptions upon the arms of idol, translates, from Latin, into Seperate and Together. This has to do with one of the 7 Hermetic Principles: The Principle of Polarity. This principle states (I am quoting the Hermetic book The Kybalion), “Everything is duel… everything has its pair of opposites, opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree… all truths are but half-truths…” This maxin, “solve et coagula,” refers to the yin and the yang, or the Light and Darkness, or the universal struggle of Good and Evil. Another thing, is that the actual goat head depicted is to represent man in his most vicious and primal state. It represents how cruel and frightening we can be. The Baphomet is more of an idea than an actual deity. True, some refer to it and worship it as an idol (Note how I refer to Baphomet as an “it,” because it is androgynous, being that is has both breasts and a phallus, this refers to the seventh Hermetic Principle, The Principle of Gender, and it being androgynous is to represent perfect balance in a carnated form), the Baphomet itself may just very well be the Islamic prophet, because before Levi’s drawing of Baphomet, it was never depicted as a horned-god, not once. So it would be inaccurate to say Baphomet is a horned-god, but that it being horned is merely a form the Baphomet may take, as being it’s the only common visual representation, so if somebody who devotes their time to worshipping the idol says they’ve seen Baphomet via scrying or through a vision or a dream or meditation or in what ever way, it would be that they saw it in its horned form because that is how we would imagine it to look and that is how our brains would depict the idol as. I could f*****g go on for hours about what is wrong with this article, like how alchemy was actually a form of Hermeticism and that alchemy was never actually oriented around literally turning base metals into gold. Turning base metals into gold is an esoteric reference that implies alchemy is the sturdy of turning base metals (ordinary individuals) into gold (gold was enlightenment through spiritualism and philosophy).

It’s weird how you say my post is biased and under-researched, then you confirm the information in it–e.g. the Hermetic traditions, alchemy, and androgeny. Baphomet means many varying things to varying pagan traditions who embrace him in order to cause confusion, but none of what he represents is good. No surprise since Satan, aka Baphomet, is the author of confusion.

So in sacred geometry you can find both the pentagram as well as the holy trinity. The symbols in geometry are permanent so all no matter what time can see the blueprint of God. It symbolized unity and equality and unmasks all duality. There is no right or wrong and peace is found through silence and nature. You are an animal so you contain the beast. You are man and contain duality both create the romance that is life and death no need to fear either. Go draw the flower.

There is only one spiritual truth and it’s only found in God’s word, aka the Bible. You say, “there is no right or wrong” regarding spirituality, but all the major religions claim the other ones are wrong and they are right, and by saying “there is no right or wrong” you are saying the major religions are wrong and that you are right. Therefore, you contradict yourself and your statement isn’t true.
You say peace is found through silence and nature. Silence of what? And what part of nature? I’m sure you’ve probably seen nature documentaries, right? The ones on Africa’s nature show predators chasing down their prey, doing what comes naturally in nature. Often the chase causes a herd of potential prey to stampede. Not very quiet, but it’s nature. Speaking of nature, birds chirping or calling out isn’t silence, but there is often serenity in that.
If the peace you refer to is spiritual peace, no genuine spiritual peace can exist inside of a person without the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. Bottom line–you’re on the wrong path that in the end will not save you from your own sins. All it will do for you is bring God’s judgment. You need to forsake your sins and confess Jesus as your Lord while you have the time.

Woody Sir you just want an excuse not to believe That is why you ask those questions.
Answer #1 You see Faith comes by Hearing the word of God read Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believe on him shall not be put to shame.
Rom 10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:
Rom 10:13 for, Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom 10:15 and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!
Rom 10:16 But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Rom 10:17 So belief comes of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Rom 10:18 But I say, Did they not hear? Yea, verily, Their sound went out into all the earth, And their words unto the ends of the world.
Rom 10:19 But I say, Did Israel not know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is no nation, With a nation void of understanding will I anger you.
Rom 10:20 And Isaiah is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I became manifest unto them that asked not of me.
Rom 10:21 But as to Israel he saith, All the day long did I spread out my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
Answer #2 Christianity is not a Religion it is a Walk by Faith.2Co 5:1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.
2Co 5:2 For verily in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven:
2Co 5:3 if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
2Co 5:4 For indeed we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mortal may be swallowed up of life.
2Co 5:5 Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gave unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
2Co 5:6 Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord
2Co 5:7 (for we walk by faith, not by sight);
2Co 5:8 we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
2Co 5:9 Wherefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well-pleasing unto him.
2Co 5:10 For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2Co 5:11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.
Answer #3, 1Co 11:1 Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.
1Co 11:2 Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.
1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
1Co 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head.
1Co 11:5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.
1Co 11:6 For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled.
1Co 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
1Co 11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man:
1Co 11:9 for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man:
1Co 11:10 for this cause ought the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels.
1Co 11:11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord.
1Co 11:12 For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God.
1Co 11:13 Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled?
1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
1Co 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
1Co 11:16 But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
1Co 11:17 But in giving you this charge, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better but for the worse.
1Co 11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it.
1Co 11:19 For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you.
1Co 11:20 When therefore ye assemble yourselves together, it is not possible to eat the Lord’s supper:
1Co 11:21 for in your eating each one taketh before other his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
1Co 11:22 What, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this I praise you not.
1Co 11:23 For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread;
1Co 11:24 and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1Co 11:25 In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
1Co 11:26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord’s death till he come.
1Co 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.
1Co 11:28 But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup.
1Co 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.
1Co 11:30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.
1Co 11:31 But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged.
1Co 11:32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
1Co 11:33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another.
1Co 11:34 If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.
Answer #4 Because Jesus said so! Luk 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.
Luk 16:17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
Luk 16:18 Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery.
Luk 16:19 Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:
Luk 16:20 and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,
Luk 16:21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
Luk 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried.
Luk 16:23 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luk 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.
Luk 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish.
Luk 16:26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us.
Luk 16:27 And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house;
Luk 16:28 for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Luk 16:29 But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Luk 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent.
Luk 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.

Eph 1:5 having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:
Eph 1:7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
Eph 1:8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
Eph 1:9 making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
Eph 1:10 unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, I say,
Eph 1:11 in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;
Eph 1:12 to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:
Eph 1:13 in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, – in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 1:14 which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God’s own possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Eph 1:15 For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which ye show toward all the saints,
Eph 1:16 cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
Eph 1:17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
Eph 1:18 having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Eph 1:19 and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
Eph 1:20 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
Eph 1:21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Eph 1:22 and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,
Eph 1:23 which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all in all.

Baphomet is an abomination to the Lord. It is rebellious towars the will of God. That concept or doctrine that good cannot exist without evil is a lie of the devil.
Me, I worship the God of Israel, The One Who Spoke and everything was created. Jesus is His only begotten Son, who was perfect in everyway and was crucified for mankind’ sin, but then arose from the dead on the third day. He came to His own, but His own would not receive Him. God caused them to be blind in order to save the gentiles also. Saving the gentiles to provoke the Israelites to jealousy, so that in His plan they will return to Him and be saved. And they will. God bless the Jewish people. Because of them, their Patriarch, Abraham and Hid decendants, Jesus came into the world. And so, jews and gentiles alike could experience His grace, mercy and love. But then came that Mystery Babylon religion. Which has been around since Nimrod. Satan said, i cannot stop this Jesus. Satan then infiltrated the “church” and to this day, many are deceived. Purgatory, sunday worship, which eventually led to us not keeping His Sabbath, praying to mary and other saints, salvation through the sprinkling of baptism, priest forgiving sins, communion taken as the actual blood and body of Christ, etc…. None of these things are in line with the Word of God, which is the same Entity who created all things (through Him and for Him). Just read the Bible. Keep His commandments, including His feasts. Turn away from your fathers traditions, running your children through the fire. And yes, in today’s christian churches there are many pagan symbols and rituals being practised. But, i belive that those being deceived, even though deceived, they have something called faith. And so, faith the size of a mustard seed goes a long way. If the Father grants His Son to a person and that person receives Him… That person will be good to go. But if people choose darkness, rather than His light… Then, God will allow you to believe satans deceptions. One day, the Church will marry Jesus and will become One with Him. That day is soon approaching. We better examine the Word and our hearts to make sure we are pleasing Him and keeping His commandments because those that do not keep His commandments, well, they might not really know Him as they think they do.
Harry, I love you brother. May the God of Israel bless you and keep you continually. In Jesus name I pray. Amen!

I could not bring myself to read the whole article because most of what you have said is just completely false. First, this “sabbatic goat” was created from the Greek god Pan who was the god of nature and had nothing to do with evil. Second, alchemy is NOT the pursuit of turning metals into gold. It is the practice of bringing natural things to their highest purity. Whether it be herbs, minerals, metals, or the human soul. Alchemy also has nothing to do with religion although it is highly spiritual. Paracelsus, the father of western alchemy, was a devote Christian and prayed to god for help in his transmutation. Alchemy is mostly used for homeopathic medicines and further understanding of our universe and ourselves. This “baphomet” is a made up icon, stealing symbols from historical texts that were intended for good. The moon above and the moon below represent the alchemical knowledge of “that which is above is like that which is below”. Meaning as it is in heaven, so it is on earth. It’s a reference to the spirit that lives in all things. The 5 point star is also misrepresented. This star represents the 5 wounds of Christ and in alchemy it represents the spirit (god) that rules over the 4 elements. Solve et coagula is chemistry process. It means to destroy and then rejoin. It is how spagyrics are made. I am a Christian and I also study alchemy and I can say that there is nothing wrong with this image. In fact, most of what is pictured in this image is not evil and has nothing to do with religion, aside from the resemblance to a Greek god. It’s the way people like yourselves have been programmed to think when you see these symbols or hear these words. Baphomet was described by the Templar knights as a cat with 3 faces or the severed head of John the Baptist. This is a drawing from yet another person who did not understand the meaning behind what he was drawing and thus, misrepresented these symbols for use in his occult ideology. Please please please do your research and read a book before drawing a conclusion on something. The devil resides in idle minds who accept teachings without understanding.

I know that in 14th century Europe, the pentagram was a symbol of the five wounds of Christ and is seen in the poem sir Gawain and the green night. Do you know what language the emerald tablet was translated from? Oh oh, did you know that the meaning of “spirit” as used in alchemy simply means energy which all things do possess. It is also a word for alcohol since all plants yield alcohol. That is why alcohol is called spirits. No I’m sure you didn’t know any of that. You did so much research but do you know what a spagyric is? I’m sure you think it’s something evil. Nope, it’s herbal medicine that predates pharmacology. You telling me that you researched alchemy is laughable. Simply because most alchemical texts were destroyed throughout the centuries by crazy religious extremists like you who wanted to suppress the truth. What survived was written in a way that no common person could easily decipher it. It would take a person years to decipher the alchemical symbols and meanings. You choose to be ignorant and narrow minded and therefore only accept things that align with your own personal beliefs but just because they are your beliefs does not make them right and I can tell by everything you’ve said, you have not researched anything. “Now I will teach and describe the secret arts, which is at the heart of all things hidden in the art of alchemy; since one will here understand the wonderful works that God has accomplished using the 4 elements” – Issac Holland.

You said, “It’s funny that a satanic, occultist, evil alchemist would speak so fondly of God and his creations.” That’s typical of alchemists just like it’s typical of the evil Roman Catholic Church. Here’s why Old World occultists used “Christian” terms:
“To protect themselves from the persecution of despotic theology the mediæval alchemists couched their philosophy in Christian terminology, although the great secrets of the Art were derived largely from Egyptian or Arabian adepts. The Mohammedans were masters of the Hermetic secrets and even the great Paracelsus secured from them the major part of his knowledge. In their manifestoes the Rosicrucians also disclose the Arabian source of their secret doctrine. Hence it should be borne in mind that the relating of the alchemical teachings to Biblical symbolism was a gesture of expediency.” (THE HERMETIC AND ALCHEMICAL FIGURES OF CLAUDIUS DE DOMINICO CELENTANO VALLIS NOVI FROM A MANUSCRIPT WRITTEN AND ILLUMINATED AT NAPLES A.D. 1606, ¶8, SacredTexts.com)
The term “adepts” refers to an experienced user of magick, an occultic practice. They hid the true meaning of their occultic ideas behind Christian words to deceive people. Just like you’re doing here.

Finally, we’re getting somewhere. This is an excellent source–for refuting what you’ve said. Thank you for submitting it.
You stated, “… it has absolutely nothing to do with religion,” with regard to the mantra “as above so below.” But this source says it was the words of legendary figure Hermes Trismegistus, “combination of the ancient Greek God Hermes, and the Ancient Egyptian God Thoth.” My post above has a link to where I explained the exact same thing about this character in the “Hermetic tradition.” So you just indirectly have proven me correct in your feeble attempt to prove me wrong. The phrase has everything to do with pagan religion just like I said. Both Hermes and Thoth who comprise this legendary figure were part of ancient religions which makes the legendary character himself religious and this writing religious.
Thanks so much for contradicting yourself and proving me correct. The Bible, which is superior to this Emerald Tablet, says that those who worship pagan gods like Hermes and Thoth are actually worshiping devils (Deuteronomy 32:17; 1 Corinthians 10:20). So Hermes Trismegistus is a devil since he’s the religious combination of two pagan gods. A genuine Christian would have known that. Furthermore, the teachings in this tablet go against what the Bible teaches. A genuine Christian would have known that too. You need to repent of your sin and call on the Lord Jesus Christ to save your lost soul.

Thanks for this source. It’s another reliable one to prove you don’t know what you’re talking about. You really should take the time to read sources like this one more closely. You said, “Funny, I can’t find anything that says it has anything to do with sex at all.” But you obviously didn’t read down this Wikipedia entry to see that the caduceus was originally used by Greek mythological character Tiresias to attack two copulating snakes. Copulating, in case you didn’t know, is having sex. So as punishment by Greek goddess Hera for breaking up the snakes, she gave Tiresias a sex change and turned him into a woman.
Hermes was given this caduceus that depicted the two snakes having sex. With Tiresias being given a sex change in this Hermetic story and Hermes himself being an effeminate he/she, this shows how the Hermetic tradition is the pagan root of the “transgender” nonsense we see today. The caduceus has everything to do with sex. The Wikipedia article also acknowledged its use in astrology.
Helena Blavatsky, an occultist who also was influenced by and had great influence on Hermetic alchemy, taught that the caduceus was phallic in nature and was also the symbol of “the dual power of the Secret Wisdom: the black and the white magic” (H. P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, vol. 2, p. 364).
So I’ll ask you what you asked me– “Seriously, do you read about anything or do you just make it up as you go?” Based on the fact you gave me two sources yourself that refute what you say, it’s obvious you make things up as you go and are a liar.

In an effort to rebuild the world after World War II, Hall advocated for using the same techniques the Nazis used for social conditioning (socialism) of people in society. He said,
“World problems will not be solved except by creating a solution up through and out through the people themselves; and so, no postwar program can be successful unless at least three and probably five generations of social conditioning goes with it.
“The way of that conditioning would be the one used in Central Europe to condition Nazi Minds. There the circulation of an ideology began in the public schools, began with the small child; which is where we will have to begin, and educate not only our own people but the peoples of the world…” (“Asia in the Balance of the Scales” by Manly Palmer Hall, in Horizon: The Magazine of Useful and Intelligent Living, Spring, Volume 4, No. 1, April 1944, pages 11-12)

The pentagram, when looked at from a scientific basis and broken down into numbers and ratio’s, comes out to equate to the golden ratio. The golden ratio can be found in nature everywhere you look from flowers to nautilus shells. It is considered by many to be the fingerprint of god. Even the proportions of the human body follow the golden ratio. How can the pentagram be a symbol of the devil or evil when what it represents in science and math can be found in nature and in us? Even churches and sacred places use the golden ratio in their construction. It’s literally everywhere. I grew up christian and was told every symbol that wasn’t of “god” (in the bible) was of satan. Then i decided to actually study these symbols in depth. When you do that you see how they are all connected. Everything is connected. Nothing is inherently evil.

Here is a good video of audio done in the 60’s by a radio broadcaster.
Compare those days to present day, very very prophetic to a tee.
Google: “If I were the devil” by Paul Harvey on Youtube
That is funny as well since The God of Heaven has spoken of this very issue:
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Ha-satan has accomplished this quite well, He isn’t a little imp in a red suit.
He was once Lucifer who was God’s Covering Cherub over all the angels, but by reason of ha-satan’s brightness and beauty he corrupted himself. He said 5 I wills and God countered every last I wills of ha-satan with 5 of His Own. The Creation cannot create, nor can it usurp by power that which is omnipotent. This is why there are 2 Cherubs now covering the Mercy Seat on the Ark of the Covenant.
Any one can read Matthew Chapter 24, II Timothy Chapter 3, and the move towards building a 3rd Temple for ha-satan’s man of the hour to sit in which fulfills:
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week ( 7 years): and in the midst of the week ( 3 & 1/2 Years ) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; SO THAT HE AS GOD SITTETH IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD, SHEWING HIMSELF THAT HE IS GOD.
If ha-satan were so powerful, how come he still hasn’t defeated God. Not that God needs any help mind you, but do not forget for every fallen angel there are 2 good ones, he is outnumbered.
Read Revelation and this one should scare anyone::
Luke 21:26 “Men’s hearts”

The two-fingered signals used by Baphomet and the false Christ symbolize 1) Apostolic Succession, and 2) Temporal Power.” is an incorrect interpretation. I have been Catholic my entire life and never heard that. If you think that I just haven’t been informed, what good is it to have such a symbol and have it be meaningless to a faithful Catholic Christian ? And makes make you think that you are more informed that I ?

BTW – I noticed below that you include ADF as a Christian Resource. I am on the “honor guard” of ADF, and they knew I am Catholic when they accepted me as an affiliated attorney. They don’t seem to have the anti-Catholic position that you do. Did you know that Alan Sears, the founder of ADF is married to a Catholic woman, you know, one of those “whore of babylon” people.

@Liz,
You should read my disclaimer. In it I acknowledge that I provide links to resources for information purposes and that I may not agree with all of the opinions expressed by people at those links. The ADF does good work to defend religious liberty apart from any affiliation with Catholicism which is why they’re included. The same goes for my link to Michelle Malkin, who is Catholic. I’m highlighting the things they get right, not their ties to Catholicism, which is all wrong.

@Liz,
Like any other false religion, Catholicism keeps certain things hidden from the “commoners” and only reveals them to the “ascended masters.” In the case of the RCC the “ascended masters” would be priests. The priestly class in your church keeps a lot of things from you. Why do you think it was such a shock when people started coming out about being sexually abused by priests? The top leaders of your church depend on people like you to stay ignorant of their evil practices behind the scenes so they can have obedient sheeple.

Harry – your esteemed leaders are just as guilty of doing bad things behind closed doors. Yeah, you will say “that’s not my pastor, and he will never do that like those other protestant ministers”, but when we see that the track record of protestant ministers on sexual abuse is even worse than Catholic priests (as shown in the links below) you are even more likely to send us as sheeple.

You’re mistaken. I haven’t deleted anything. The wordpress system didn’t automatically display it like it usually does. I had to go back to manually approve it for it to be shown.
