Students Petition vs Satanic Mass

[MorningGlory]

from The Boston Globe:

Amid outcry, black mass at Harvard is called off

"A reenactment of satanic rituals known as a 'black mass' that had been scheduled for Monday evening on the Harvard campus was abruptly canceled amid a chorus of condemnation from Catholic groups and university officials and students ...

"In a statement later Monday evening, the cultural studies club said it was no longer sponsoring the mass after plans to hold it at the Middle East club in Central Square in Cambridge fell through.

"The cultural studies club did not respond to an inquiry asking why it had decided to move the mass.

"'The Satanic Temple has informed us that they will stage their own black mass ceremony at an undisclosed private location to 'reaffirm their respect for the Satanic faith and to demonstrate that the most powerful response to offensive speech is to shame those who marginalize others by letting their own words and actions speak for themselves,'  the studies club said."

I don't feel ashamed and I assume no one else on this forum does either.

 

The Lord will find no blame in those who call this 'mass' exactly what it is; i.e. a manifestation of satan's desire to be like God and to be worshipped.  Anyone worshipping the beast is doomed.  Yet, how to make them see?

Love

 

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

 

On Them

 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

 

For They Will Either Fall At His Feet Crushed

 

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

 

Or They Will Prance About The Earth Waggling Their Tongues

 

They encourage each other to do evil and plan how to set their traps in secret. “Who will ever notice?” they ask. Psalms 64:5 (NLT)

 

While Spiraling Their Way Down Into Perdition

 

The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 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 3:35-36

 

As I See It

 

I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Isaiah 42:8

I wouldn't attend such a thing, but what about the freedom of religion?   I thought all religious views had equal right to be expressed.

Some Will Hear

 

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

 

Most Will

 

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14

 

Not

 

The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 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 3:35-36

That's a good question Bonky...     one we are working with here in Oklahoma with a piece of artwork they want to put up at our campitol..    Though that is what the constitution says, I don't think that was the intent of the founding fathers...

I think the founding fathers et al, intended that government stay out of the way of religion, and let people worship freely. However, modern interpretations are to the effect, that government has the responsibility to protect people from religion. If that is the case, and I am not saying it is, then government's role would be to forbid religious practice on public property or public funded events, equally. If govt. needs to protect people from prayer, the Bible, Christianity, etc, then it also has a responsibility to protect people from Satanism etc.

These Pagan (Godless) Governments

 

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. Psalms 2:1-3

 

Have Only One True Enemy

 

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

 

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

 

For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

 

He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

 

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

 

He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Matthew 10:32-39

 

And They Know

 

For 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

 

It

 

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

 

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

 

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 1 Peter 4:12-14

It's a worrying sign of the times. Some people see this as being quite harmless, because they don't realise the serious implications of this.

Yay, bring in the end times!!!! The sooner Jesus comes back the better.

According to the student club at Harvard that was holding the black mass, the purpose for having it was purely educational and was to be preceded by a lecture explaining the historical context of the rite.   So this is not an expression of religious faith.
