Don't glorify the devil

I've seen this before--people into "dark things,", like an intense interest in the occult ,and 2 like minded people get together and in a way almost reminding me of a sexual orgasm in intensity, they share with their mouths watering how much , say , watching something about the dark side interests them,,and getting all excited when describing it.I mean, all unsaved people are misled,{"Who is called the devil and satan , who mislleads the whole world"}however, I've seen some who do things God wouldn't approve of,maybe even defend it when you point out it's wrong. But this.."the deep things of Satan", like crystals, quija boards, seances, pyschics and mediums. And I speak personally, because I've had family members who were into these things, and all the while I was a Christian, so how did that make me feel, hearing them praise this stuff while I knew it was false,and damning. them.And getting books on it, and watching tv shows about it, all the while showing excitement over glorifying the devil. But we know better.{"We know we have passed over from darkness unto light. But all the world lies in the power of the wicked one." Take it from me, having grown up in a devil worshipping environment,don't glorify the devil.We know the truth, but their minds are darkened.{"Having been blinded by the god of this world."}I pray for anyone with loved ones who do that, because I know the feeling.

How about the relaxed standard of some in the church about murder of the unborn that can feel pain? According to Jesus in John 8:44, who is their father?

"You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies" (Jesus, John 8:44).

Well, when professing Christians approve of,, or make light of, some specific sins, or "make excuses for" why they think it's alright, to me , they 're wrangling around the Word .I've noticed that, also.and have personally heard them voice approval for certain wrongdoings when it benefits them to do so.And have even showed more hostility towards fellow Chrsitians than for the sin commited by their unsaved "friends", or people they think they'd "benefit from".{All the while praising God.}What I call "upside downism" is running wild,I guess in and out of the church.

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that substitute darkness for light, and light for darkness; that pass off bitterness as sweetness, and trade that which is sweet for bitter" (Isaiah 5:20). "Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered" (Prov 11:21).
