What is Sin? Essay
What is Sin?
Adam and Eve, the two that started it all. These two names will remain as a reminder to us forever
because of their actions. Genesis chapter two talks about how man was made perfect; flawless and
in God's favor. These two individuals change how mankind would be from that time on. Sin entered
the world and things began to change.
Before Adam and Eve's decision there was no sin or death, because of their actions we now have
to deal with both. This brings up the question of where original sin came from. We know that God
cannot create evil, so it did not come from Him. He gave man free will. From this man went against
God and therefore created sin. Because of this we know have inherited depravity. We can not...show

This definition may sound good, but it has its flaws. The Weslyans define it as a willful
transgression of the known will of God. If you enter these two definitions into a few verses such as 1
Corinthians 15:34 or John 8:11 we find that the Weslyan definition will fit better. If we use toobroad
a definition it can lead to actual sinning. We may not know we are doing it, but we still are.
If we use the Weslyan definition of sin we find that there are four elements that lead to sin a
personal voluntary act. The first of these is to use God as a standard. He is perfect and flawless, as
we should strive to be. The second is man as a free personality. God gave us free will to decide our
own actions; He did not just make us drones. The third makes sin a live option. It is something
that is always there and we can always choose to do what God would have us do or go against His
will. The fourth is a deed committed. This goes back to the third one. Sin is a willful act against
God. We must choose right or wrong.
We must make our own decision on what we think sin is. We can look at what others say it could
be or we can look to the Bible and ask the Lord what it is. I think it is also different for everyone.
There are however some things that are a standard for everyone. These are specifically mentioned
in the Bible. God gave us the Ten Commandments to follow and Jesus gave us two simple rules to
follow. If we look at these we can

The Pentagram : A Symbol Of Power
The Pentagram is five pointed star drawn with continuous line and dose not have a circle around it
and is used as a religious symbol and some refer to it as the star of life as it dose present all five
elements, which make up all things. From Ancient Greek pentagrammon, noun form of the

understanding, and protection, and holds the elements with makeup all life there for making it the
seed of life, and it dose not mean devil worship or anything else crazy like that not even upside down.
The earliest now use of the pentagram was around 3500 BC in Ancient Mesopotamia on broken
pottery, and has even been found of cave walls by early man.
'In later periods of Mesopotamian art, the pentagram was used in royal inscriptions as a symbol of
imperial power extending out to "the four corners of the world". The pentagram was also used by the
Hebrews as a symbol of Truth and for the five books of the Pentateuch (The first five books of the
Hebrew Scriptures)" paganspath, History Of The Pentagram author springwolf, http:/

pre–Christian, Jewish, early Christian , and Celtic Druids belief systems, there have even been

Satanism Vs. Religion
When someone hears Satanism they usually start to think of sacrificial ceremonies, demonic
worship, and the summoning of demons. Some even go as far as to think that Satanism is associated
with kidnapping, child sacrifice, and other inhumane rituals. Satanism was created to go against
other religions and was made to stand out, but is not violent and is misrepresented. The truth is that
the Church of Satan has, falsely, taken the blame for these unspeakable acts. As the official website
for the Satanic Church put it, "Satanism is a life–loving, rational philosophy that millions of people
adhere to." (Church of Satan Archives) Satanism is more atheistic than religious. In fact it has
actually been called the 'theatrical nonreligion.' (Peter H. Gilmore) On April 30, 1966, Magus Anton
Szandor LaVey created the Church of Satan. The Late High Priest, LaVey, created the Church of
Satan to have something openly...show more content...
The official website for the Church of Satan said, "In recent years, we've wasted far too much time
explaining that Satanism has nothing to do with kidnapping, drug abuse, child molestation, animal
or child sacrifice, or any number of other acts that idiots, hysterics or opportunists would like to
credit us with." (Church of Satan Archives) Satanism has been used by people as a reason to do
criminal activities. Just like how terrorists have used Islam to justify their acts. Also, similar to how
the terrorists have been the loudest and only ones heard for Islam, criminals have been the loudest
for Satanism. This has lead to the misrepresentation of Satanism and explains why people are often
given the wrong impression of Satanists. In conclusion, Satanism is nearly an atheistic religion,
Satanism has no god(s) and doesn't require worshipping Satan, and has been misrepresented in
society. Satanism is really a logical religion focused on enjoying

Theist Essay On There Is A God
Theist: There is a God
Atheist: No there isn't. God does not exist.
Atheist: God does not exist because of the problems of evil.
Theist: Please elaborate
Atheist: If God is an omnipotent, omnibenevolent, and omniscient being, then
evil shouldn't exist. But because evil does exist in this world, God is not all–good and
does not exist.
Theist: Can you support your statement?
Atheist: Yes of course. Omnibenevolent means all–good. If God exist, an omnibenevolent
God would stop evil because he want too and its in his nature. Also, since an
omniscient being is all–knowing, God knows how to put an end to evil, but doesn't. Because God is
omnipotent, he has all the power in the world to stop evil, but doesn't.
Therefore he...show more content...
Theist: If God made everything in the world perfect and there is no evil, how can we
grow as human beings? If God gave us a perfect world, are we not being controlled?
Atheist: How are we being controlled in a perfect world without evil?
Theist: Because God already chose our life for us by living in a perfect world with no
problems. Without any evil, there is nothing for us to do.
Atheist: There is a lot of things to do in a perfect world ....
Theist: But will we continue doing the same things over and over again? We will get
bored because there is no new things left in this perfect world. We might be happy at first

with a perfect world, but soon we will grow bored and tired of it.
Atheist: What if God was wrong? What if I want a perfect world without evil? What if I
want to repeat the same thing over and over again ?
Theist: No. God will not allow that. God believes that we need evil in our life. He wants
us to carve our own life and not be destined for a meaningless life.
Atheist: So God thinks that having evil in life is a meaningful life?
Theist: Yes, God thinks that since there is evil in this world, we will face many

along the journey Louis tries again to ask his parent what was kept inside that storage room and
his mother answered instead of his father because he was busy driving, Louis mother said, "It is
something that belongs to the previous house owner and it is not appropriate for us to touch it as
we have been told that those belonging are forbidden to be touched". Louis replied, "ok" to his

shocked and at the same time happy because he has always been interested in these stuffs. Louis

Lewis Subtile Deceptions
Does Lewis's style of writing better equip you to recognize Satan's subtle deceptions or does it
make you sympathetic to Screwtape or Wormwood? Does the way Lewis describe how the
demons think help you see things in your own life or does it persuade you to feel sad for
Screwtape or Wormwood. Lewis's style of writing makes me think more and recognize Satan's
subtile deceptions. "Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one––the gentle slope, soft
underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts,...Your affectionate
uncle, Screwtape." The way Lewis shows the subtile ways the Satan tries to trick us into apathy, is
very well done. Lewis shows Over the course of this book I do not feel sympathetic for Screwtape or

The Pros And Cons Of Satanic Groups
While hundred of thousands of Satanic ritual abuse cases were reported in the United States the
past thirty years, there are still some problematic concerns about the validity of the subject
(Richardson et al, 1996: 28). Does Satanic ritual abuse really exist? This question has been asked
multiple times by the public as well as health professionals. The main reason behind this tormenting
question is that there is little to no evidence of Satanic groups not just in the United States, but
everywhere around the world. In fact, the groups are strictly secretive and they opt for a "what
happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" kind of belief system. Any member who dares reveal an event
from their Satanic group risk their lives greatly (Stone, Stone, 1992:

Satanism And Satanism
Goat Heads and Pentagrams When you think of Satanism, you might think of human sacrifices, or
perhaps even chanting wildly around a fire surrounded by enormous herds of people in an attempt
to please Lucifer himself. Guess what, they don't. But on a serious note, have you ever thought it
might not be what you think it is? Maybe they are not as evil as society makes them out to be. I will
be focusing most on the history and important figures in the Satanic church, the symbols of satanism
and their meanings, and, finally, some of the practices and beliefs of satanists. Possibly knowing
more about this religion will compel you to think a little different about its leaders and followers.
The most notable Satanist would have to be the creator of the whole thing, right? The first High
Priest of the Satanic church was Anton Szandor LaVey. He was born in 1930 and passed away at
the age of 67 in 1997. Because he was most known for his creation of the Satanic church and the
Satanic bible, he was also known by the name "The Black Pope". He authored many other books
as well. LaVey loved Gothic and horror literature, but occult literature he dismissed as frauds and
as "white magic". Since his world was filled with books, Anton LaVey naturally befriended
authors such as Clark Smith, Robert Johnson, and George Hass. He was known by friends and
family to have a very "cynical" view on the world. If only here today to see what it has become.
Anton LaVey was also a very talented musician

Many people know at least a little about religion, and most people who know about religion know
about the controversial topic of Satanism. Satanism and Christianity are linked very closely in the
Bible, but those who are Christian often have many misconceptions of Satanism. Although they are
both very different they both have sins and laws that you must live by and ways of getting people
to join. Though their acceptance of others is very different. Christians and Satanists have very
different ways of getting people to join. While satanists believe in exposing the child to other
religions and allowing the child to make the decision on their own, Christians expose the child to
christian beliefs as soon as they are able to understand. This

Satanic Cults In The Late 1900s
During the late 1960s stories of satanic cults and abuse became common. These tales included
mutilation of animals and humans under the full moon at places dedicated to Satan. The stories
featured robes, candles, knives, alters and other Satanic accoutrements. Prominent news and
entertainment figures reported the stories as fact. The Satanic stories became so numerous the
FBI formed a task force to investigate satanic cults and abuse. Satanic Activity Satanic activity is
thought to have occurred through the ages. It's common for groups outside the norm to be
accused of practicing satanic rituals. Any group could direct these allegations toward anyone
they wanted to demonize. Fictional Literature In the late '60s a series of books with Satanic
overtones became popular and made into popular films. Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin in 1967
was the first of these big bestsellers. The Exorcist by William Blatty followed in 1971, and The
Amityville Horror by Jay Anson in 1977. All were all huge bestsellers and hit movies. The first two
were fiction, but The Amityville Horror claimed to be true, even though there were portions of the
book that are inconsistent or nonexistent with police records. Other books with satanistic themes that
followed and these books set the tone for satanic abuse allegations. Michelle Smith In 1980 Michelle
Smith co–wrote the book that triggered the modern Satanic abuse era. Canadian Lawrence Pazder
was Smith's psychiatrist and co–author. Michelle

Sean Sellers: What Happened To Satanism?
There are few accounts of individuals converting from Satanism to Christianity. There are even
fewer accounts of a conversion like that coming from a convicted murder. Sean Sellers, a man
from Oklahoma, made history after killing his parents and a store clerk at the stunningly young age
of sixteen. He was the first and only person to be executed for committing a crime while under the
age of seventeen. Not only did this shocking statistic grab the media's attention, but his sudden
decision to switch religions made waves across media outlets as well. Initially, Sellers considered
himself a Satanist. In court, he attributed his homicidal thoughts and actions to demonic possession.
His involvement in Satanism led him to murder because it made him feel like he had power and
control ("Sean Sellers", 2016). The religion's insistence on breaking Christianity's Ten
Commandments gave him the push he needed to act on his homicidal curiosities. Thanks to
Satanism, he was able to fulfill a lifelong urge while simultaneously the...show more content...
After being faced with the consequences of his actions, Sellers disavowed Satanism. In court, he
made it seem like Satanism was to blame for his actions and that he should not be held
accountable. In my opinion, he moved away from Satanism because he felt used by it. According
to Sellers, he was basically forced into killing his parents and the store clerk ("Sean Sellers", 2016).
At his age, it was important for him to have an outlet for his rage and Satanism gave him that. But,
once he had overcome that feeling, he realized that he must reconcile and look to God for answers
since Satan was clearly not giving him the right ones. Satan landed him in jail and on death row. I
believe Sean Sellers was looking for hope at a time where the only thing he had to hope for was his
imminent death. Sincere or not, Sellers' conversion is one for the history

The Illuminati And How It effects People
The Word "Illuminati" is thrown around to describe the secret elite group that many say run the
world. Their power lies in the magical rituals and the economy (Money) creates their power. The
Illuminati is a secret society that use unorthodox and sometimes a violent method of getting success
or to "rule". When one is Desperate for success they'll be at a point in life that they'll do anything for
fame, even if it means worshiping Satan.
Even though Christians see people of the illuminati bad, they are actually very organized
individuals. The Illuminati has been a secret society since 1776 that begun as a science group. It
stayed a secret for over 20 years before it leaked as a satanic revolution from hell. As generations
went on, they...show more content...
Very Popular Beyonce (Rapper Jay–Z's wife) is influenced with the illuminati as well. She
nicknamed herself "Sasha Fierce" as an alter ego that many believe is the name of the demonic
figure that lives inside her. Beyonce has expressed several interviews that as she performs on stage
something takes over her that she can't control, and the figure causes her to do things that she
normally don't. She also mentions while in this state, she loses consciousness of her body. During an
interview with the magazine Marie Claire Beyonce states "I have an out– of– body experience when
I'm on stage. If I cut my leg, or fall, I don't even feel it. When I'm at this state I'm Fearless."
The Illuminati is recognized to cause chaos around the world. For years there has been many
conspiracies on how illuminati was behind the 9–11 Terrorist attack, and how many believe that the
43rd President of the United States (George W. Bush) had planned it all from the beginning. Before
President Bush was elected President in 2000 it wasn't until his second term in office when the
media found out he was a member of the "Skulls & Bones" association. Research shows that in
order to be in this Membership you have to be a Pure Illuminist, Meaning worshiping Lucifer, doing
Rituals, and selling his soul to the devil and being damned to hell. Here's some WTC facts from

Streets Of Philadelphia And Evil That Men Do
I went beyond the poems and did some research on the both of them. "Streets of Philadelphia" by
Bruce Springsteen was based off of the arise of HIV in the 80s. "Evil That Men Do" by Queen
Latifah was based off how poor society was and how people were blind to it. These poems are
alike in many ways. They both are expressing the feeling of discrimination and unjust. The similar
tone in the poems are disappointed in the public and society is treated and a protest on what
needs to change. There are many allusions in both of theses poems. For example in the poem
"Evil That Men Do" the third line says "So today, here is a message to my sisters and brothers" the
words "sisters and brothers" refer to how people approach each other in the society.

What Is Evidence Of Satan In The Modern World
The novel, Evidence of Satan in the Modern World, is about proof that the Devil exists and that he
continues to have a presence in the modern world world even in the 1950s. The novel continues to
display examples of possession and infestation of the Devil with many different types of people
throughout the 1800s all the way to the mid 1900s. The novel, explained their actions with the
presence of Satan, how each person dealt with it, and how it was treated. One main point about
the novel is the facts of possession and how to treat it. Firstly, someone who is possessed will have
a knowledge of hidden facts (155). An example of this is the case of the Cure d'ars because the
novel explains that the Cure explained things to people that he could

Men Being Evil In Leviathan By Thomas Hobbes
This source is an excerpt taken from the book Leviathan written by Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679).
Thomas Hobbes is a British philosopher and a political theorist that lived during the times of turmoil
in England. England in many ways is divided, in terms of politics, military and economical as well
as religious means. Inequality is predominant in the social classes and caused upheavals among the
people, creating civil wars all over the country. Ultimately, the struggles between the King and the
parliament ended with the King's head and soon tyranny and violence was rampant throughout
England. Hence, influenced Hobbes' idea of men being evil in nature.
In Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes promotes absolutism as the best kind of government. An absolute ruler

What Does The Leviathan Cross Mean
The brimstone symbol some time known as the leviathan cross. At the bottom there is the infinity
sign in this cross and at the top there is a double cross. This is related to the Satanism, the double
cross is for the protection and balance between male and female. The infinity symbol is for the
internal happiness and relaxes. This is used to represent the kingdom of Satan that is called the hell.
This is about the afterlife pleasure, happiness and relaxes; this symbol is made of the alchemical
elements. This symbol is discovered and generated by the Anton Lavey, he is the founder of the
church of Satan. This symbol is related to the Christian religion, and it becomes very popular in the

And it contains the very strong magical powers. The person who has these magical power
considered as the superior in the world. These powers may be supernatural, magical and natural
force. This symbol is made by a specific technique and mostly made by the metal. This symbol is
very powerful and considered as the superior of all others symbol. The base of this symbol
depends on the Satanism because the use of this religious thing is start by the Satanism. And there
is no divine power in this symbol it only contains the demon powers. It is nearly related to the
black magic powers but they have different goal to each others. But now days it is only considered
as the superstitions, no one have faith in the story of

Personal Narrative: Theistic Satanism
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the word "lucifer"? Most would think
something evil, dark, and the death of all good things. But in reality it means "Light–bringer" in
Latin. Satan is also the bringer of knowledge and empowerment. When he gave Eve that apple and
told her to eat it, he wasn't trying to defy god all the way, but to give her knowledge. The regular
bible of the christians may be lies, but some unfortunate people believe in it. There is no real proof
that there was even Christianity in those days, but still people believe in what they only think is true.
As a theistic Satanist myself I believe that the Christian God is a master of lies, and easily twisted
humans thoughts, and got them to make a bible. The bible according to some Satanists is a book of
lies created by a mastermind that Christians worship. Some of the more experienced theistic

Even though mostly they usually just go looking evil, and grotesque. Sometimes they do this to see
if the person is really determined or not. The majority of demons will change to a preferred form of
the individual to speak clearly enough or to let the individual relax a bit. Although most of the
demons won't try to harm you unless you try to provoke them.
Most people interested in demons or demonology are usually interested in the summoning of
demons. Most demons usually have a specific set of items to be able to summon them. If you try
and summon them, you have to invite them. If you successfully invite a demon into your house, then
you must not just kick them out without properly and politely asking them to leave. If you don't do
this, then you may not get a very happy demon. You will also know if you incorrectly summoned a
demon, by the way it reacts, if it's pretty violent, then it was incorrectly summoned, if not, then you're
either dead, or

Satanism In Blackhearts
A fresh look at Norway's notorious black metal scene, from a striking new angle. While the genre's
Norwegian pioneers settle into middle age, wiping off the corpse paint and embracing family life,
three obsessive fans from vastly different religious and political backgrounds – Colombian Hector,
Greek Kaiadas, and Iranian Sina – risk family ties, freedom, and even their souls to perform in the
place where black metal became synonymous with Satanism, arson, and murder. Heartfelt and
surprisingly funny, Blackhearts examines just how far people will go for the music they love.

Sections of Ephesians 6:10–17 say, "Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand
against devil's schemes for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of
this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." It is also clear that
the everlasting battle between evil and good exists as evidenced by tragedy, and suffering in the
