Satanism & the Fall of Satan

hi I'm buddy Davidson and I'm gay ready for our next big the ice agent bundle up get ready and come along with me it's going to be a lot of fun well I better get ready for the cold here I go again some folks wonder was a really such a thing as an ice age and the answer is absolutely there was an ice age I mean the evidence is overwhelming and I say to niku summers get an ice age you need mild winters get it an ice age you need tons of snow in the world I have to got to do this again sometime [Music] get an ice age you need tons of snow [Music] whoa watch out well hello my name is Bodie Hodge I'm gonna one of the speakers and writers here at the Ministry of Answers in Genesis I've been here for a number of years and it's exciting to be part of this ministry but I'll tell you what at this time of the year with coronavirus and everything in full swing a lot of things are shut down it is difficult times but I'm going to talk to you today about the subject of Satanism and Satanism is a religion it is one of many world religions in fact a couple of years ago we did a world religions and cults conference and it was it was extremely successful it was quite powerful we actually recorded about 18 lectures from this conference and you can actually get these on our website anything from Judaism to Islam we even hit some off-the-wall religions and in one case of course I did the talk on the subject of Satanism and I've had a chance to kind of hone the talk a little bit and I take a look at it here and there and I wanted to present that to you today looking at the subject of Satanism and at the same time I also want to talk a little bit about the fall of Satan I wrote a whole book on the follow of Satan and it's it's it's a powerful book in fact there's one of the first books I had written because so many people had questions on Satan on his fall on on you know did angels fall with Satan and when people ask a lot of questions how is it the Satan who was created perfect become a fallen being there's a lot of questions people have about Satan they relate it to the serpent they're in Genesis chapter 3 throughout the Bible from Genesis all the way the revelation we find is snippets about Satan and he's mentioned quite a few times in Scripture so I wanted to dive into the subject of Satanism and the fall of say now I gotta start off with something kind of funny my brother-in-law is a brilliant guy but one time he made the mistake of trying to iron his shirt while it was still on look at this I call him iron man sometimes as a result of this you guys see that right down in there I don't know if you can see this very well but I'll try to highlight it see there he actually tried to use the steam function on the iron while he was wearing it he is a person that goes out and tells people not to do that anymore he burned himself pretty good but iron man I like the calling now as soon as I say iron man there's a lot of people out there that think I am Iron Man that's the famous Black Sabbath song sung by Ozzy Osbourne now there's a lot of bands that actually go out and preach that they were satanic sometimes they just might relate it to certain subjects you might think of Ronnie James Dio or King Diamond some of these guys out there but my brother-in-law's want you guys to know he was not in that category by any means in fact he does some part-time pastoring and he's even had the chance to fill pulpits from time to time over the years so it's kind of exciting to see what the Lord uses my brother-in-law for a fact is I got another brother-in-law who's a preacher over in Missouri so we come from a long line of people who love the Lord but at the same time we also have relatives and friends and and many others that we know of that have been caught up in things like Satanism or false religions in general but when I say stuff like Ozzy Osbourne or Black Sabbath that sometimes conjures up certain thoughts people have they think Oh Satanism well not necessarily although some of these bands have definitely been involved in some forms of Satanism but a lot of times Christians don't know how to deal specifically with the religion of Satanism what is it what does it believe what what kind of practices are there out there say there's a lot of times people and particularly Christians hear the word Satanism and they're automatically a little bit scared what is it about Satan what is it about Satanism specifically that kind of makes Christians step back I mean if you were to talk to a Christian about say Hinduism or about Buddhism or some a lot of times Christians are more happy to sit there and chat about it but as soon as somebody comes up says well they believe in Satan and they follow Satan and a their their satanic that's sort of outside some Christians start to freeze up to get a little nervous about this sort of thing and I think one of the reasons for that is unlike false gods that are out there Satan is real I think about that for a moment Satan is real the Bible talks about Satan our sole information truthful information that is about Satan actually comes from God in his word and we're given certain snippets like I said from the book of Genesis all the way to the book of Revelation and there's a copy of my book there the fall of Satan where I actually look at a lot of the questions about 35 or so questions about Satan and different things that relate to Satan and what happened right there in Genesis chapter 3 Satan had fallen deceived the woman to see ultimately Adam ended up eating as well so you know we we have a lot of interaction of Satan sometimes even behind the scenes the entire book of Job has Satan behind the scenes and Joe didn't even know that make sure wonder did Joe ever really know some of all that but Satan himself Satan the word actually means adversary so it's kind of a title at the same time as a name Satan has mentioned 56 times in the Bible and Greek and Hebrew another name for Satan is the devil or devil it's used 36 times there in Greek other names for Satan actually appear Lucifer Beelzebub Beelzebub apollyon abadan sometimes you hear some of these names and you might think of TV shows like Supernatural which are quite popular out there they utilize some of these names of Satan in there and some of their movie scripts and that sort of thing there's other allusions to Satan you you see him influencing a serpent there in Genesis chapter 3 he was in the Garden of Eden according to Ezekiel 38 and that makes sense if he was influencing this serpent he's called the serpent of old or the Great Dragon the tempter but we do see his fingerprints in various parts in Scripture a little bit more about Satan Satan was created there's a misconception out there that well you got God on this side you got Satan on this side and they're equal and opposite now that's actually a religion called dualism and it's there's two different religions of dualism this is the form the basically has an absolute good and an absolute evil that's actually a misconception that is not a Christian view of Satan Satan is a created being he has absolutely no power next to God which is why he can be banished to hell so easily by God but he hasn't created being at one stage he was called the anointed cherub he was perfect in all of his ways until he sinned sin was due to his pride he wanted to send above God he wanted to take the throne of God according to Scripture he was fallen from heaven there in Isaiah 14 he's doomed to hell with no possibility of salvation a little bit more let's look at some of the scriptures here a little bit more detail on this he was created if we jump into Nehemiah 9:6 you alone of the Lord you've made the heaven the heaven of heavens with all their hosts the earth and everything in it the Seas and all that is in them and you preserved them all the hosts of heaven worships you so originally Satan worship God he was created in heaven he is a spiritual being Exodus 20 verse 11 for in six days excuse me for in six days the Lord made the heavens the earth to sea and all this in them and he rested on the seventh day therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and how it is so yeah Christ created all things here if you jump all the way back because Christ is God Colossians 1:16 speaking specifically of Christ for by him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth visible and invisible whether Thrones or dominions or principalities or powers all three things were created through him and for him so Christ created all things that includes Satan so Satan was definitely created he's The Anointed cherub we read that in Ezekiel chapter 28 verse 14 this is a lament to the king of tyre who was being influenced by Satan and the Lord's basically he spoke to the king of tyre and then he speaks directly to Satan behind him the Lord has been known to do that we see that in Genesis chapter 3 as a matter of fact when the Lord speaks to the serpent then he speaks to Satan who's influencing the serpent at one stage in the New Testament the Lord spoke to Peter and he spoke directly to say get behind me who was influencing Peter so we do see those examples this is one of these examples in Ezekiel 28 you were the anointed cherub now cherub was a specific type of an angel and an anointed chair this is the this is a you know someone of a ruling power that's what anointed means so this is some sort of rule Angell they were already in a position of authority but let me read this you were an anointed did you excuse me you were the anointed cherub who covers I established you you were on the mountain of God you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones you know some of the beautiful imagery here of Satan here The Anointed chair being in the holy mountain of God which is reminiscent of heaven here he was perfect in all his ways until he sinned if you go back a perfect God makes perfect creation we read this in Genesis 1:31 Deuteronomy 32:4 thank God saw everything that he had made and indeed it was very good this is the heavens this is the earth everything that was in it was very good and Hebrew this has exceeded good if such a thing were possible Satan was originally good Deuteronomy 32:4 he is a rock the speaking of God his work is perfect that's what we expected from a perfect God is a perfect creation everything was perfect every creation of God every work of God is perfect and in Ezekiel 28 again going back looking at Satan this says here you were perfect in your ways from the day you were created so yes he was created on one of those creation that weekdays and he was perfect look at this till iniquity was found in you once sin originated and Satan everything changed it was a sin due to his pride to ascend above God he was fallen from heaven let's look at some of these passages I say a 14-3 if you've said in your heart I will ascend into heaven I will exalt my throne above the stars of God I will also sit on the Mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north I will ascend above the heights of the clouds I will be like the Most High Satan in his heart wanted to ascend above God he wanted to take God's position Isaiah 14:12 oh how you're fallen from heaven Oh Lucifer son of the morning how you were cut down to the ground you were weakened to the nation's when God realized the moment that Satan had sinned he knew God knows all things he knew who's gonna send anyway vote moment he sent he was fallen from heaven he was cast out Genesis 3 1 & 2 now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made and he said to the woman has God indeed said you should not eat of every tree of the garden you see when Satan fell it affected himself it didn't affect anything else that it affected his own person so he falls the Lord cast him to earth the first thing he does is he immediately enters into a certain serpent to deceives a woman he immediately went after those who had dominion he immediately went after those who were made in the image of God this is an attack by Satan on those who love God that's exactly what he did went right after the woman I mean we look back at Genesis chapter 3 the Garden of Eden did God really say you gotta imagine this was a perfect world everything was perfect everything was and once that's new to Adam and Eve there is such thing as a bad question and there it was did God really say you see when Adam and Eve sinned against God God cursed the ground he cursed the animals he sentence a man to die there was even a prophecy and they're given to Satan that the Lord was gonna crush his head he's gonna bruise Christ but Christ will destroy him Genesis 3 verse 15 this is called the protoevangelium that first gospel this is that first prophecy of Jesus and it's spoken to Satan who is behind the serpent Genesis 3:14 - spoken to the serpent specifically it's gonna crawl it us belly and eat dust all the days and it's like now he's talking to Satan right behind him here in genesis 3:15 I will put him to t between you and the woman between your offspring and her offspring he shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel notice this there's a conflict of offspring who is the offspring of the woman the offspring of the woman is Christ we read that Galatians 3 verse 16 specifically I don't have it all the way through 19 I want to encourage you to go back to Rita through 19 this is just first 16 now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made notice the capital capitalisation of seed here throughout the Bible it talks about the seed he goes all the way through Abraham here Paul writing in Galatians it's making it perfectly clear here this see he does not say and to seeds as of many but as of one and to your seed who is Christ Christ is that feed well who's the offspring of Satan who is the offspring of the serpent you know the Bible speaks of that to Jesus directly says this is to some of the Jewish leaders who kept opposing him over and over and over again serpents brood of vipers how can you escape the condemnation of hell Jesus further says you are of your father the devil and the desires of your father you want to do he was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him when he speaks a lie he speaks from his own resources for he is a liar and the father of it you see those who are opposing Christ who disbelieved in him they were the ones who are the offspring of the devil they were the ones opposing Christ and ultimately led to his crucifixion I've had people say well when did Satan fall I mean obviously it was before Adam and Eve sinned had to be after the declaration that everything was very good let's look at this a little bit closer it would have been after day 6 of course you know because God declared everything very good day 7 God sanctified that day made it holy you know with the Lord make a day holy that he knew sin would originate on I doubt that it had to be prior to Adam and Eve eaten the fruit and it was obviously prior to the conception of Cain one of the famous chronologist Archbishop James Ussher he actually put it on the tenth day the first month and the one of the Jewish calendars they have different different days that they a chef or a start a start of a year but tenth day the first month and the reason he did that is that was the day that was the day of atonement according to the Jews a day of atonement it was representative the Lord actually selected that day but it was the day representative of sin and sacrifice and according to the Jews this went all the way back to the very first sin and sacrifice which would have been when Adam and Eve sinned against God so Archbishop Ussher said okay well tempt a creation let's let's put that there now it's he absolute are we absolutely I you know we can't be absolutely certain on this by any means it was interesting I did have a lady come up to me once and she told me she said yeah tenth day yeah I make sense that's good I can go with that I said what I had no idea what you're talking about and she's like today she's like Adam and Eve were perfect right I'm like yeah so their bodies were perfect their genetics were perfect their reproductive parts were perfect I said yeah she's like well then they shouldn't have a problem conceiving on the first try okay still didn't quite get it and then she's like okay a woman's ovulation is two weeks in that's when okay that's when it's ideal time to get get pregnant so had to be within the first 14 days of Eve's creation so 10th day yeah make sense I remember telling this lady I'm like I am a guy I hadn't I don't think of those things that lady was brilliant so yeah I had to be fairly soon in there either way I wouldn't be out of it as the 10th day but you know had to be fairly soon otherwise Adam and Eve would have been disobeying God for not being truthful multiplying so when did Satan fall hmm well think about this it had it be immediately before Adam and Eve's rebellion so he was immediately cast out when sin was found upon in Revelation 12:9 fascinating passage here if I can get this to flip something's going on with my technology all of a sudden you know it figures alright when I'm given a Satan talk everything just suddenly locks up on me let me see if I can get this to flip over you know you got that wheel spinning you know I've had people tell me you know the Devils in the details he's actually not he's in the technology and that's where the big problem is so figures right during a Satan talk here it is it's finally starting to pop up here everything started moving again you know that little ball of death it I was getting a little nervous about them but you know the Lord prevails so revelation 12:9 so the Great Dragon was cast out that serpent of old called the devil and Satan who deceives the whole world and he was cast to earth and his angels were cast out with him so yea Satan was cast out he was cast the earth the serpent of old called the devil and Satan which shows the relationship between the devil influencing this serpent so yeah he was he was in there he was involved this whole time I've had people say well how is okay Satan was perfect originally he was perfect he was very good just like just like everything else was how could he sin that's an interesting question you know James talks about the progression of sin what no one say when he is tempted I am tempted by God for God cannot be tempted by evil nor does he himself tempt anyone now this brings me to a rabbit tree I want explain this rabbit trail for a moment because there is a difference between being tempted internally and a difference between being tempted externally Jesus who is God could be tempted externally but not internally that's what this was talking about you cannot be tempted God cannot be tempted by evil this is internally himself wanting to do it you know for example Satan goes in tempts Jesus externally and Jesus of course was not tempted internally by anything that Satan did them that said he quoted the word of the Lord back to him but God himself is not the one doing the tempting it's the point of all this God cannot be tempted by evil nor does he tempt anyone but each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed then when desire has conceived it gives birth to sin and sin when it is full-grown gives birth brought brings forth death but notice this each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed so when Satan's end it was by his own desires he enticed himself and then when his desire and conceived it gave birth to sin we follow this same progression with Eve if you go back into Genesis chapter 3 and read that carefully she was drawn away by her own desires yeah the serpent Satan here asked this question did God really say not to eat from it yes there was a deception in there yes she to see but notice what she did she looked at the fruit she desired it she saw it was desirable for gaining wisdom she was enticed she was tempted that's her own internal workings at that moment and she took some of the fruit and she ate it and it gave birth to sin so you can follow this progression in here in fact this is the way people sin even today zekiel 28 15 through 17 you're perfect in your ways from the day you were created till iniquity was found in you by the abundance of your trading you became filled with violence within and you sin therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of God and I destroyed you O covering cherub from the midst of the fiery stones your heart was lifted up because of your beauty you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor see there's a lot more to this Satan had a pride he wanted it he wanted to go above God but at the same time he was he was looking at his own beauty he was looking at himself he was tempted internally by his own iniquity and his own desires here that's what led to his ultimate sin from himself I don't know if many of you have heard there's popular views been floating around for a hundred years maybe a little more than hundred years now that Satan supposedly fell between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 that's interesting so I'd have people say well is it's not when Satan fell between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 and no of course he couldn't have fallen until after the declaration that everything was very good but still this floats around this is out there so why is it that people want to promote this idea let me explain where this idea came from that Satan fell between Genesis 1:1 one two and then show what's wrong with that actually Genesis 1:2 and the earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters this is the second verse in the Bible first verse you guys probably have this one memorized in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and then it goes on that it's kind of a subset here there's a evolved disjunctive in here that I she connects that first verse to this verse and that's what will be translated and in here and the earth was without form and void base we're jumping in we're getting given an explanation of the earth what does it look like in the beginning God created the heavens the earth now let's look at the earth the earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep that makes sense God hadn't created light yet and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters okay so what happened why are people say hey Satan fell between Genesis 1:1 one two things not even mentioned here you're right Satan's not mentioned here so where do people get this strange idea that Satan fell between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 it actually goes back to a modern idea in the late seventeen or eighteen hundred's there was this idea that people should leave the Bible out of it when we look at origins and so when you leave the Bible out of it you're left with man's ideas and particularly when we look at the subject of rock layers in the age of the earth people started looking at it different they started saying hey maybe these rock layers were not laid down by the flood maybe they were laid down slowly and gradually over millions and billions of years and so you had Christians out there who are presented with this idea of millions and billions of years of rock layers they didn't know what to do with it so in the 1800s some Christians a Scottish theologian for example Thomas Chalmers he's the one who popularized the idea of gap theory he said okay let's take all this millions of years and let's put it in the Bible somewhere where do you put it so we took millions years of rock layers but you couldn't put millions years in any of the genealogies yet so everything from say Jesus all the way back to Adam you couldn't put millions years in there so he said you got to go back before Adam so we went back into creation week because you can't fit millions years in those genealogies you just can't do it so they say creation week that's where you got to put millions of years and so a number of Christians over the years have been trying to figure out how you put millions years into Genesis chapter one some people just want to put millions of years before time existed which makes absolutely no sense it's totally illogical we have some people say well let's take the days of creation and stretch them out to be long periods of time sometimes those days overlap sometimes they'll even rearrange whole days then you have theistic evolution or its variant forms like framework hypothesis or Waltons view and so forth basically with theistic evolution you reinterpret Genesis 1 to 11 so heavily it doesn't look like Genesis 1 to 11 anymore and you just replace it with a Big Bang evolution millions of years type of a worldview and you just pick up of Abraham but the one up here labeled in green you can see that one that's what Thomas Chalmers and some of these others these gap there's decided to do they tried to put millions of years between Genesis 1 101 to they said how about we just take all those millions years of rock letters let's put it between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 and not worry about it and they associated that with Lucifer's fall and a Luciferian flawed to have those waters all over the place so basically assume there was some sort of a creation it was destroyed and God started over that's where that idea came from now there's problems with these views gap Theory puts millions a years between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 de-age theistic evolution all these variant forms here's the big problem they all have they all try to put millions and billions of years into Genesis chapter 1 well as soon as you do that you got a major problem because what he seen those rock layers we see evidence of dein death pain killing disease Thor weren't struggling suffering extinction animals eating other animals we find cancer and tuberculosis and other diseases in these bones in these fossil record and so people say oh let's put all that into Genesis chapter 1 here's a problem the end of the creation week God saw everything that he had made and indeed it was very good it was perfect according to Deuteronomy 32:4 it was perfect it was very good all of a sudden that makes death very good makes it perfect makes suffering perfect makes diseases perfect I don't make you think twice during coronavirus season huh or flu season I'll tell you what if you put millions and billions of years a death paint struggling suffering in there all those things would be considered very good imagine Adam and Eve Oh Adam this is such a perfect world yes he was very good just like God said it's sitting on top of millions years of death pain struggling suffering extinction just doesn't make sense we find thorns in the fossil record according the Bible thorns and thistles did not exist until after Adam and Eve sinned against God in rock layers that the secular world says 400 million years old we find forms in their thorns in those walk layers yo those rock legs they had to come after Adam and Eve sinned against God the thorns and thistles the death if those were laid out at the time of the flood or even the floods aftermath hey it makes a lot of sense for those things to be there we expect to see death and suffering and rock layers and so forth in gymnast from the flood buried in those rock layers BC that's one of the big problems you see if Satan had fallen between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 Satan in his sinful state would be considered very good in fact Satan will be deemed perfect sin would be deemed perfect and very good those are huge problems you just can't have that let's get back to our list if you look to Satan's future he is doomed to hell with no possibility of salvation Matthew 25:41 then he this is Jesus will say to those who are on the left hand depart from me you cursed into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels so we know what Satan's future is Satan will be cast into hell you know what Satan now knows that too he knows his time is short because he can look see what the scriptures say he once quoted the scriptures to Jesus he knows what it says there is no possibility of salvation for Satan so we look a lot at what happened with Satan and who he is but let's look a little bit closer at that religion of Satanism new / Satanism starting National after-school programs in school newsflash Satanism billboards to target kids in school newsflash satanic nativities at Christmas satanic are Satanists calling for prayer to Satan instead of God at invitations you have satanic youth organizations Yolo for example these things are starting to happen let's just take a look at some of this Satanism starting national after school programs look at this after school Satan there's a leading Satanists there who are they targeting don't you understand who they target targeting kids they are targeting kids newsflash Satanism billboards to target kids in school there it is never be hit in school again exercise your religious rights The Satanic temple who are they targeting here targeting kids newsflash satanic nativities and calling for prayer to satan yeah that really does happen they actually have these types of prayers in here take a look at this one the Dark Lord's Prayer our Dark Lord who art in hell honored be thy name okay you can tell where they're there they're ripping this off from the Lord's Prayer and it's obviously a counterfeit here thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it always has been give us this day a clear mind to think let us learn from our mistakes as we help others learn from theirs and lead us not into ignorant but deliver us from ADEA see for thine is the freedom the choice in the consequence for ever and ever hail Satan now I want you to notice some when they say hail Satan that automatically lets me know that these guys don't actually believe Satan exists I'll get to that here in just a little bit but yeah they are calling for prayer in school but they want prayer that is not directed to the God of the Bible newsflash you got satanic youth organizations who are they targeting once again youth you get your t-shirts and so forth here you know it's interesting the youth of the target you know Satan is not an idiot he's not he's very clever we know that all the way from back to Genesis chapter 3 very clever brilliant fact you know Hitler targeted youth as well Youth League Nazi youth League patriotic youth I mean there's host of these different ones one of the things that Satan says is he alone who owns the youth gains the future you see there are all sorts of different Hitler youth organizations Hitler's children and so forth what he was doing was trying to target the next generation if he could get that next gen raishin he could raise up a whole generation to follow him and that's exactly what happened in Nazi Germany breaks my heart to see that I have some German ancestry breaks my heart to see that but you see when I see Satan is targeting the youth you know exactly what they're doing they're trying to do this for a long-term they want to take people away from God in this word well let's look at some of the facts and figures about Satanism at estimator there's about a hundred thousand Satanists around the world many of these are unaffiliated so there may actually be more there might actually be a little bit less but see it's tough to get the numbers on this because it's not one of those religions it's a it's a more of a close religion they don't have national times when they meet all together and keep track of membership and stuff like that like churches and many other religions do Satan is just sorry Satanism is just now becoming an open religion what I mean by that is you know for 100 years if somebody was a Satanist they weren't shouting it from a rooftop they're pretty quiet about it most people didn't know about so you didn't have some of the numbers we're just now to a stage in an era of history where a lot of Satanists are coming out of the out of the closet and they're saying hey I'm going to start my own website I'm going to tell people what I believe and so now we have a chance to actually see what different Satanists believe in some of the different viewpoints of course you have famous ones Anton LaVey who's written the Satanic Bible and a number of other books there's also two different aspects here I want to explain just briefly the difference between be satanic and Satanism there's a lot of people who sometimes do satanic things but are not necessarily involved in Satanism and I'm going to talk about a little bit more about Satanism here in just a moment but Satanism x' roots actually go back to the 1800s but really it's a 1900s religion yeah I may have some roots back in the 1800s but by and large there wasn't much for what we would call any form of modern-day Satanism going all the way back to the 1800s but like I said I had roots there there are two forms of Satanism nohow earlier I said if I saw so if somebody says hail Satan that they don't really believe Satan exists yeah that's one of the forms of Satanism let me explain these two different views just from a flyby perspective you have theistic satanism these are the ones that actually do believe Satan exists they are called traditional Satanism or devil worshippers they actually do believe Satan exists they believe Satan is basically their Supreme Being that's who they want to follow and then you have Anton LaVey Satanism or laveyan satanism is something sometimes called modern Satanism or symbolic Satanism or even the Church of Satan that's all part of laveyan satanism they are a group that's primarily atheistic they do not necessarily believe this Satan actually exists so you got these two different groups and these two groups actually oppose each other once you understand that because they have two different sets of viewpoints now they agree on a number of things and we'll talk about some of that too let's look at theistic Satanism that is traditional Satanism or the devil worshippers a little bit more detail they are probably the smaller of the two groups Church of as Iselle order of the nine angels temple of the black light there's a number of different groups theistic luciferianism cetanas now some of these are not actually that big sometimes is difficult to even find much information on them but some of these guys have been around these are the ones that actually do believe Satan exists basically say Satan is real he is the God and the God of the Bible is seen as the bad guy so they basically put it back to front and if you look at scripture now however some of these guys also hold to other religions now that's you know that shouldn't surprise you that's called syncretism where people take more than one religion and they try to put the two together this happens quite often with theistic satanism sometimes they mix their religion with pantheism or polytheism they say the universe is God or that you can have a multitude of lesser gods or we can have a bunch of pagan gods of the past they kind of intermix some of that stuff sometimes Satan is one of those many gods and so forth so you get a lot of convoluted views out here if you look at the subject of epistemology basically how do we know knowledge exists you know we have a basis for and a Christian worldview remain the image of a knowledgeable God for example but if you look at the theistic satanism website Dianna Vera or Dian Vera is writing on epistemology here they say what can we humans possibly know about the spirit world not much she's being honest it is all too easy for us humans to deceive ourselves we humans cannot really know the spirit world now it should understand let's stop for there for a moment don't you understand something these are the ones who believe Satan exists Satan a spiritual being if they don't know much about the spiritual world at all they can't even know that the spirit world exists and yet they believe Satan exists so you can see the conflict even within their own worldview when you start to look at he pistol mala G or the basis of knowledge they she continues here at best we can make educated guesses based on our own and other people's spiritual and paranormal experiences if any and based on our knowledge of the history of religion and current religious trends you know what this is this is just being arbitrary they have no basis to actually know if Satan exists or not but they believe it anyway and well how are they doing it well just based on guesses people's personal opinions and ideas and whims that's really what that is Isaiah 5:20 woe to those who call evil good and good evil who put darkness for light and darkness or light for darkness who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter you see they've got it back to front in here the God of the Bible is the one who is true and it breaks my heart to see Satanists who buy into such an arbitrary religion in that sense in fact the whole reason that they know Satan exists is because the Bible is true and they're borrowing that whether they realize that or not well let's look at the other form of Satanism this is laveyan satanism as a church of satan or modern Satanism anton lavey was a very famous Satanist he actually wrote a number of books he actually was influenced somewhat by Aleister Crowley who was that even you know farther back fitnah Anton LaVey but Anton LaVey actually became popular in the 1960s he was known for The Satanic Bible The Devil's notebook the satanic rituals he also has books The Satanic witch and Satan speaks and Muslims actually put a ban on him they were supposed to try it if they saw Anton LaVey they were gonna kill him feds actually hid him for quite some time but here's what's interesting when it comes to laveyan satanism they are atheists they do not believe in God they do not believe Satan actually exists they use a lot of this terminology and a lot of this actually more as a as a in-your-face against Christians kind of thing but really they're atheists let's take a look at some of this Anton LaVey in his book The Devil's notebook he says atheism wasn't tolerated when scriptural dictates were in fashion and accepted as the word now thanks to satanic infiltration it's safe to say I don't believe in God see they're being very active they want satanic infiltration I want you to understand this is part of a model of mode Satanists these are a number of atheists they want to get involved in different places and undermine them from underneath that's called infiltration that's what that is they're open about that at the Church of Satan website they actually say Satanists are atheists we see the universe as being indifferent to us and so all morals and values are subjective human constructions our position is to be self-centered with ourselves being the most important person the god of our subjective universe so we are sometimes said to worship ourselves and you know what that's what atheism is atheism is the mindset that a person is their own God because they've elevated their own thoughts to supersede God in his word but notice this all moral morals and values are subjective human constructions and bases are all indifferent well that's interesting that'll be interesting when you take a look at some of the rules that Satan is half so they have all these different rules and all these morals and values they're supposed to follow but they admit they're subjective it doesn't really matter Psalm 14:1 the fool said in his heart there is no God they are corrupt they've done abominable works there is none who does good The Fool has said in his heart there is no God you know a lot of atheists are not necessarily Satanists but you're Satan is here involved in the church Satan they are atheists so you've got two different groups atheists and Satanists that may agree with each other on many respects but they also disagree with each other on a number of things - how is Satanism related to the evolutionary religion this is where you start to see a lot of over connection between these different groups of cyclists as well as with atheists and other materialists and other naturalist who hold to an evolutionary worldview let's take a look at the Satanism is a blatantly selfish brutal philosophy it is based on the belief that human beings are inherently selfish violent creatures that life is a Darwinian struggle for survival of the fittest that only the strong survive and the earth will be ruled by those who fight to win the ceaseless competition that exists in all jungles including those of urbanized society this actually comes from the church Satan or actually from one of the authors and priests in the church Satan Burton Wolfe notice they openly believe in an evolutionary worldview that's what most atheist belief I understand why he's following that but that's a false worldview I mean we don't observe single-celled organisms changing into cows today that's not an observable repeatable scientific viewpoint this is a religious viewpoint I want you understand that but see why would any of this stuff ultimately matter and 980 trillion years into the future in this evolutionary worldview there'll be no heat left that we know energy left nothing will ultimately matter you see this is a really depressing religion when you look at it Anton LaVey actually says in this book The Satanic Bible are we not all predatory animals by instinct so you notice the difference there in the Bible humans are separated from animals or above the animals were made in the image of God we have value and here what they're doing is they're they're ignoring God in his word trying to elevate man-made ideas to say were nothing but animals he's following exactly what Darwin said if humans ceased wholly from preying upon each other could they continue to exist Satan represents man as just another animal sometimes better often more often worse than those that walked on all fours who because of his divine spiritual and intellectual development quote has become the most vicious animal of all humans are not animals by any means humans are sinners and we're in need of a savior Jesus Christ if you go back to the theistic Satan they also believe in an evolutionary worldview so they actually have an agreement here these two different groups of Satanists even though they disagree heavily on so many things here's what dyin Varys says unlike the people in Bible times scientists today do know quite a bit about the likely evolution of both the human species in particular and the earth in general most likely our species came into existence through natural evolution nope actually has a lot of scientists and disagree with that too so you got to understand what they're doing it's a part-to-whole fallacy here they're assuming that scientists are in general agreement on this when they really aren't in fact most fields of science were developed by Bible believers there's a lot of scientists today who are not evolutionist by any means some of them actually keep themselves quite rather quiet because they can get in trouble with some of their workplaces or at universities in places like that if they don't have tenure and so forth but the point is God disagrees with them God created all things in six days he created man on the sixth day of creation man is made in the image of God totally disagrees with this viewpoint here now for someone to object to God I'm gonna ask a serious question here by what authority can someone object to God and his absolute authority the only way someone can object is by a lesser arbitrary authority which shows its falsity the see evolutionary humanism has all sorts of religions yeah churches Satan is in there theistic satanism is in there but general atheism agnosticism a host of non-religious religious humanists are involved in their Nazism communism there's hosts of different groups that believed in an evolutionary worldview evolutionary humanism humanism just so you know it's that idea where were man's ideas superseded God in its work see this is part of man's arbitrary religion humanism both forms of Satanism are actually both based on man's opinions that's they're both arbitrary and they're both have no basis in truth they're both humanistic worldviews just relying on the ideas and whims of man how sad we actually see a lot of inconsistencies in these religions for example on the Church of Satan website Satan's Satanists are atheists we see the universe as being indifferent to us remember that so all morals and values are subjective human constructions and yet all of a sudden we turn around and we see the nine satanic sends well hold on I thought these are just constructs they don't really have any meaning what why are you trying to impose these see they're automatically being inconsistent the very moment that they have nine satanic sends the look at some of these stupidity pretentiousness solipsistic the self is all they can be known to exist you're not allowed to believe that apparently a self-deceit heard of conferred conformity basically just being pushed along go along with crowd lack of perspective forgetfulness of past orthodoxies counterproductive pride so see pride is still seen as a good thing Satan had pride that was a problem there lack of aesthetics basically being concerned with nature and beauty and that sort of thing so you know I look at this but the moment somebody does this right after they say they they don't really have those because all morals and values are subjective it just defeats the purpose that's actually illogical but the guess what Satanist continue here this is Anton LaVey some of his satanic rules of the earth eleven of them actually you didn't want to do 12 you don't want to do seven I want to do three you got to do something different but look at this do not give opinions or advice unless you're asked and yet he wrote books to give opinions and advice Wow that's illogical isn't it do not tell your troubles to others unless you're sure they want to hear him hmm when in another's lair show him respect or do not go in there basically treat others like you'd wanted them to treat you oh wait that's that's kind of like what Jesus taught if a guest in your lair annoys you treat him cruelly and without mercy do not make sexual advances unless you're giving the mating signal hmm do not take that which does not belong to you oh do not steal that's that's one of those ten commands oh that's one of the ten commandments oops if you move on number seven here acknowledge the power of magic hold it I thought you were a theistic a materialistic and magic doesn't exist see the inconsistency within the religions do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself and yet they complain about Christianity all the time see the inconsistency do not harm little children and yet Satanists promote abortion left and right notice the inconsistency do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food hmm and yet they promote abortion when walking in open territory territory bother no one if someone bothers you ask him to stop if he does not stop destroy him you see these rules right after they said there are no rules is a problem and you can see the inconsistency even within them you want proof that Satan is don't want to go to hell I've actually had people say well fine I want to go to hell because you know they're either satanic or and sometimes I just hold to other religions and you know you're and preaching the gospel and tell them about Jesus how He loves them and how you can be safe from your sins and I've got people say but I want to go to hell I can't wait you want proof that Satanists and many of these others don't want to go to hell go jump in a fire and burn yourself up then can't wait how am I going to jump in a fire you gotta be kidding me uh-huh that goes to show in your heart of hearts you don't want that punishment now here's the thing there's a lot of Satanists out there a lot of them probably in a clause that we still not know a whole lot about them I want them to understand that they can't have forgiveness through the blood of Jesus Christ it doesn't matter how many steps away from the Lord you've taken it's only one step back Matthew 25:41 points out in the future tell you what Satan has nothing to look forward to but neither do unbelievers then Jesus will say to those on his left hand depart from me you accursed into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels see this isn't just for the devil and his angels it was prepared for them but you know what people sin and do not repent turn to the Lord that's going to be their punishment as well now what you understand a lot of Satanists continue to borrow from the Bible like you know for example this concept of Satan it actually comes from God in this word we're to Satan this get the idea that there's a Satan I mean the theistic Satanists they actually said they have no basis for for a spiritual realm it's just it's just really arbitrary ideas where do they get it from ultimately they get it from the Bible theistic Satanists must borrow from scripture if you look at laveyan they talk about Church of Satan and hail Satan and all this they have no basis for Satan exists didn't even believe he exists where they get it from they get it from the Bible let's look at some of this Anton LaVey himself got married marriage is a Christian doctrine that goes all the way back to God creating a man and a woman in a literal Genesis chapter 3 that's very Christian of them how do they know truth knowledge and right and wrong even exists they can't exist in their atheistic worldview where only material things exist and yet there they were trying to give some moral codes of right and wrong at the same time saying there was no morals it shows the inconsistencies they have false nativities to borrow Christian symbols and terminology all the time let's look at some of this happy holidays from the Satanic temple this was on display and if you notice the scripture down there oh Satan how you've fallen from heaven Lucifer have you fallen from heaven they're quoting scripture where do they get these ideas from from the Bible they have to borrow from the Bible some of their other displays that they put the greatest gift is knowledge hold that knowledge is not material so in an atheistic worldview it can't exist because knowledge doesn't have any mass oops notice they've got the serpent there they've got a cross there and you know the Bible talks about separating the sheep and the goats so that's why they use the goat symbol up there they use the star the star has been use as a Christian symbol going all the way back to the time of Christ where the star guided the wise men to the to the manger in fact there's a number of different stars that are used throughout Christian history team Satan go Satan 666 you see the goat in there back behind in the star you got the six sixes what was that stuff come from come some Bible over and over again we see them borrowing Christian symbols you got the goat in the star and there you see this over here but notice the she had the upside-down cross sometimes you're gonna say oh that's the satanic cross no it's not that's the Petrine cross that is the cross a Peter Christians have used this symbol for 2,000 years all of a sudden Satan is certainly using it a lot of Christians are like oh I'm scared of it now what you shouldn't be scared of it it's a Christian symbol it's the cross of Peter Peter was crucified upside down because he didn't feel he deserved to be crucified in the same manner as the Lord we also have the cross a st. Andrew which is more the ex the way he was crucified to see we see the symbolism all the time even concepts like Church of Satan you see it there on their t-shirt well what does concept of church conference from the Bible let Satan take the wheel well that's blade awesome Christian terminology they're saved by Satan what is Satan save you from see Christ saves us from an eternal damnation say from her sin we're safe from the second death let's all worship say worship worship as the concept comes from the Bible bowing down to the Lord numbers 24:17 you know if you look at that star I want to bring this verse up I see him but not now I behold him but not near a star shall come out of Jacob a scepter shall rise out of Israel see this is that prophecy of the star rising that the wise men were able to follow and they were able to to find the Lord Jesus hey here's a question is Satanism special to Satan you know what the answer is nope it's not Satan loves any religion that takes people away from the truth of Jesus Christ that takes people away from God in his word he loves any of them Satanism in isn't any more special than say Buddhism or any more special than say Greek mythology any of them that he can use to take people away from the Lord that's what he'll do they use any of them but here's the power in it the gospel can penetrate all religions it can penetrate Satanism you know at the very beginning of this talk I talked about people like Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath and you know you can throw all sorts of bands out there Motley Crue or whoever it might be do you realize Alice Cooper got saved you know the power of the gospel is powerful to reach into people I know of a number of people who are involved in heavy metal hard rock things like that that have gotten saved you see the gospel can penetrate Hebrews 4:12 for the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even the division of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow and it is a discerner of the thoughts and the intents of the heart see the Word of God could get in there the power of the Holy Spirit is the power to convict only courage people to repent of their sin receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior you know we've seen people saved not just Alice q4x Satan that's radically saved and baptized we see examples of this it's because the cross has the power to overstep the bounds when people get deceived into atheism or Satanism or any other religion that's out there the power of the gospel is moving forth in this world Satan once it stopped but it is gonna move forward but the power of God the power of the Holy Spirit you know won't to encourage people out there to be praying for Satanists pray for a lot of these bands out there you know some of these guys are extremely talented guys and gals out there sometimes they use their music for Satanism it's case with people like King Diamond or Ronnie James Dio know do died a few years ago you know I want to encourage you to be pray for some of these guys Ozzy Osbourne himself has Parkinson's good and Tipton also has Parkinson's it's the same disease that Michael J Fox has I would encourage you to be praying for a lot of these guys I think sometimes people don't pray for them you know we pray for our leaders quite often we pray for sometimes neighbors around us I want to encourage you to be praying for people who have bought into Satanism for people who have bought into some of these false worldviews now some of these guys may not actually be saying this they might just have crowds that follow him that are satanic in certain instances but at the same time the power of the Cross can change things do you realize that Ozzy Osbourne walked through the Ark Encounter he actually had a chance to come here and walk through he got a chance to hear the gospel he used to do some singing in church I want to encourage people to be praying for him be praying for a lot of these guys out there because the power of the blood of the cross of Jesus Christ can destroy all evil I want to encourage you to visit us on our website Answers in Genesis org a new lead article every

mention the book the follow of Satan before a lot of questions about the the follow Satan the follow mankind a lot of things going on right there in the Genesis chapter 3 powerful book easy to read book I've had 10 year olds read this book and I've had a number of them say this book really helped them understand the fall and how that connects to the gospel in fact I got two chapters in here to relate the fault of the gospel and they are absolutely powerful I don't encourage you to consider this book I do have a called Satanism this is the one that was recorded at that world religions and cult conference so if you like this talk I want to encourage you to consider this DVD and you can even share it around with your friends and neighbors you know somebody that's caught in Satanism this might be a decent one to have a chat with them about the book glasshouse now this is our flagship book shattering the myth of evolution there's a lot of problems with an evolutionary worldview and yet it's an evolutionary worldview that a lot of atheists want to hold on to thinking that the evolution yeah that's a good counter to what we read in the Bible but but it's actually not it's not scientific you can't observe and repeat evolution there's problems with it not just at a molecular level but even when you look at missing links and so forth which we have chapters on missing links the dinosaur was evolving to birds what about horse evolution host of different questions like that how an evolutionary worldview is actually religious but we even look at some of those little technical arguments and don't let them scare you most people can still read about it chromosome 2 fusion or I don't know if you've heard that false claim that just keeps getting repeated the humans and chimps are 98% similar we're not but it actually goes through the data on this this really neat book world religions and cults I was involved in this world religions in Celts book series and one of the general editors on it with Roger Patterson and when when we did this we actually looked at over 60 world religions and cults but we start off with the fact there's only two religions in the world gods and not gods and if it doesn't come from God one way or another comes through the mind of man that's humanism and it's brought a sense where man's ideas are elevated to superseded God in his word all other religions whether it's Satanism Buddhism Hinduism you name it those are all subsets to a humanistic worldview in this particular talk you got a chance to see how man's ideas about Satanism were elevated to supersede God in his word and that is that false religion of humanism confound the critics how do you respond to hostile feedback hostile critics that's what I've done for many years here at the ministry how to respond to sometimes those challenging questions things you might see that where people challenge God on Facebook or in newspapers you're like how do you respond to that this shows you how to do it with actual letters and how you break it down it puts into practice this a lot of times what we're learning now a flood of evidence this looks at the ark and it looks at the flood it looks at a lot of those rock layers you know those rock layers that people tried to take and say well they were evidence of slow gradual change and they try to force fit into Genesis chapter one huge problems with that it doesn't take millions years to form rock layers we've observed rock layers formed quickly it doesn't take millions of years but a powerful book looking at you know how did you fit all the animals on the ark what about the size and the shape of Noah's Ark how could they survive the flood but then also looking a lot of the aspects of the flood radiometric dating and things like that that people asked about yet it's an easy-to-read book can him and myself put this one together powerful book if you're brand-new to Christianity don't even know where to start sometimes you look at the Bible say well that's imposing I don't know if I could read this whole thing well I suggest you start with the book begin it's mostly Scripture it's selected scriptures Genesis 1 to 11 the Ten Commandments the Gospel of John the book of Romans in the last two chapters of Revelation and that gives you a flyby from the beginning to the end of the Bible so you don't get lost in the book of numbers or the book of Chronicles is but what this does it also answers some of these top questions that people have why is there death and suffering what about a global flood and so forth it gives you some short answers to that I've seen a lot of people use this they say okay now I get what the Bible is all about because they have the foundation to it and then they get excited they go back and they read the whole Bible and I I you know I love seeing that if you do get anything I suggested be our answers book set we got four volumes all total what about carbon dating dinosaurs evolution death and suffering what about the Ice Age what about the six days of creation were they really six days sure can't be interpreted in other ways what about human evolution or how could people live over 900 years old what about global warming in the Tower of Babel isn't the God of the Bible evil harsh and mean what about cloning even things like dragons and living fossils and cavemen and distant star light these are the types of questions answered in here I would suggest that most people can read these that are teenagers on up I mean there may be a handful of chapters a little bit higher level but don't let those scare you I think you could get through most of these for the first three volumes we as authors give you a short answer to a number of the questions and of course the books have a lot more information these are just certain questions within the book but these are great for intros or even to show at youth groups or between church services and so forth we do have answers books for kids we have eight volumes all total this is just the first four of them actual questions from kids whether its creation the fall the flood dinosaurs tower Bible evolution and so forth so these are actual questions great for devotions with kids and grandkids now we do have answers books for teens Volume one and two even though I think that most teens can read those answers books with the answers book for teens yes we look at Big Bang we look at millions of years and rock layers and and radiometric dating we look at dinosaur stuff like that but at the same time with Volume one here the red volume we decide to put a chapter on the issue of sexuality kids are being drilled hard with the subject of sexuality in fact the Church of Satan that particular form of Satanism is heavily involved in pornography and things like that because they see that as an ultimate rebellion against God but the the secular view of sex has really started to permeate our culture and it's really affected a lot of kids in the church I used to work with a lot of kids at church and and some of these kids were struggling with this but what I found out they really wanted to know what the Bible said on the subject but I also found out they were scared to death to ask the question so we've put together a chapter it's done tasteful we've had parents youth leaders and grandparents even go through this with their kids it's been a powerful book from that respect the why evolution why shouldn't take evolution millions of years and mix it with your Christianity how do we know that the Bible is true we have volume 1 and volume 2 looks a lot of general apologetics it looks at manuscript evidence it looks at the question how do we know the Bible is true is there really a god what is apologetics did the resurrection really happen these are the types of questions in here I do have a talk on dragons dinosaurs in the Bible the connection between dinosaurs and dragons throughout history and so forth I have a book on the subject of dragons when we talk about Satan sometimes people relate dragons with Satan you know Satan's called the great dragon in the book of Revelation for example and so I what I want to do is I'm talking about the actual animal these land-dwelling air breathing creatures that lived after our sorry they were created on day six but then you also have some flying reptiles that could have been lumped as dragons or some of the sea reptiles could have been lumped as dragons they were made on day five and we talked about some of these Vance Nelson has a book called dire dragons which is really neat-looking a lot of the petroglyphs a lot of the etchings and things we find around the world but it is a powerful once again a powerful book of looking at these types of things so I would encourage you guys to hop on our bookstore use that code Matthew 6 and we also have a handful of things that are coming up later today at 3 o'clock we have live with Ken and Greg ioco they're gonna be walking through I'm sorry that's at 7 o'clock ken and Greg ioco is gonna be walking through the biblical Authority room at
