The summer solstice, the longest day of the year, was on the 22nd. Posted this because there are folks who venerate the sun on that day, occult people treat that day as a high holiday, doing rituals and such. I was feeling really weighed down, depressed and angry that day, didn't know why until I realized what day it was, and that the dark side was active. Just trying to spit in satans eye, push back the darkness.
Out of curiosity, do you think that God would condone spitting in even Satan's eye? I do not know much about religion, but it seems like there is a theme of acceptance and gentleness and non-hate (or at least non-harm) towards enemies.
Also, at the risk of sounding naive, why is it dark that people were celebrating the sun? Is it that they were celebrating a conducive element of life other than God?
Yea, Jesus said "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Maybe He said that because He understands that the real enemies aren't the people, but the demons inside the people who are doing the persecuting. I'm pretty sure he was talking about loving other people here, but when we talk about demons, pure love is like hydrocloric acid to them, it is so contrary to what they are, that when they come in contact with it they flee or are destroyed. God would condone spitting in satans eye, cause He's gonna do much worse to him.
There is nothing wrong with celebrating the longest day of the year and being thankful, but it is wrong to worship the sun, or any other created thing, exalting them beyond what they are. The only one who is at all deserving of our worship is the true and living God.
If we as believers believe GOD, YHWH, etc is OMNISPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT AND ETC... wouldnt that mean that GOD is in every living thing???? GOD is a SPIRIT it clearly says... cant a spirit be in every thing that is ALIVE.. ie the SUN, MOON, STARS, EARTH, UNIVERSE, ETC???
We live in a fallen world. Everything in this world, ie. physical universe, is corrupted by sin and death, including us. God is holy, and because of sin, we cannot approach a holy God. That is why Jesus, the son of God, had to come and be fully manifested in sinful human flesh, so that he could live his life in perfect obedience to His Father, by the holy spirit, resisting sin in his flesh completely, then dying on the cross for the sins of the whole universe. ¨As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness (so that everyone who looked at it would be saved from dying of snakebites), so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life.¨(John 3:14) ¨He who new no sin became sin for us, so that we might become the righteouseness of God in Him.¨(2 Corinthians 5:21) We are brought into right relationship with God, the father, by the blood of Jesus. By continualy refocusing the eyes of our heart on Jesus, we can be brought into real communion with the Father, enjoying His presence, peace, healing,
