Souls Being Lost Part One

Too many young people, either those who believe in nothing and are surrounded by cynicism and atheism, or those who have sought out anti-Christian cults in rebellion, are in danger of losing their souls.

Parents are not aware enough of the dangers their own children face in satanism and witchcraft.

I want to list some of the New Testament references to witchcraft and a few of the many from the Old Testament. One remembers that King Saul lost his soul, his crown, his dynasty because of hiring the Witch of Endor to call up Saul. This scene in the television series David, is terrifying.

Acts 19:19 

And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver

Revelation 21:8 

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

Galatians 5:20-21 

Idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

2 Chronicles 33:6 

And he burned his sons as an offering in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and used fortune-telling and omens and sorcery, and dealt with mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger.

Isaiah 8:19 

And when they say to you, “Inquire of the mediums and the necromancers who chirp and mutter,” should not a people inquire of their God? Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living?

2 Kings 21:6 

And he burned his son as an offering and used fortune-telling and omens and dealt with mediums and with necromancers. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger. 

Revelation 22:15 

Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 

But, witchcraft is also connected to the sins of rebellion, following false religions, and disobedience. Basically, the witch doe not want to put himself under any authority of God.

Herein lies the great sin-desiring power and knowledge without being in and with the Trinitarian God. Any group which is obviously in rebellion to God most likely involves witchcraft.

Souls, especially those of the young, are being  lost daily. Too many Catholics are blase about such evils in our would.

Parents must address these horrible, damning sins of sorcery, witchcraft and satanism. To ignore these is to put your children's souls in danger.
