I know all of those but about 8...and chances are those 8 I have seen at some point, but I can't tell ya what they mean off the top of my head.

I have an interest in the supernatural, mythology, and cryptozoology. Hobbies of mine.

Dear KFC,

I would be more worried about some other behaviors eminating from the dark side such as: killing, murder, assault, rape, incest, starvation, torture, poverty, theft, lying, deceit, intoxication, and the like.

It seems many of the practices you list are aimed at getting us out of a concern with ourselves and in communication with God, such as kabbalah, meditation, and yoga.


Be well.

KFC, you babbling loon.

You remind me of a group of christians with whom I once associated. They refused to drive along a certain road, because the road ran by a field, and in the field had once been located a travelling show that had as one of its features a 'gypsy fortune teller'.

Because of the presence of this so-called gypsy the entire field, the road that ran by it, everything in it, all were now under 'satanic influence' and should be avoided at all costs, in case good christians like these should somehow be dragged off to hell as a consequence of these 'influences'.

Let's suppose that everything you claim for your ridiculous idol is true. Jesus, on your account, is 'King of Kings', Lord of Lords', 'Saviour of the World' and so on. As well as being, supposedly, the victor over Satan through death and resurrection. So why are you all so obsessed by demons - who on your own account ought to flee in terror if a christian merely farts in their direction?

What was the point of your foolish list? All you've demonstrated is that you have absolutely no grasp of the meaning of the terms you've assembled here. Are you trying to prove that you are a frightened individual who clings to her 'god' and her ego for the same reason? Because she has nothing else?

And how many christians have looked in your eyes KFC, mistaken the incipient lunacy in them for 'demonic influence', and thought that you are demon-possessed? You're an idiot, KFC. A poisonously frightened idiot.

Whoa.

Where did you get this list?

I don't recall seeing many of these words in the Bible. Of course the Bible isn't exactly the "bible" for demons is it? hahahaha I crack myself up.

Ok seriously, where did you get the list?

Let me add that Kabbalah is indeed Jewish mysticism. It has nothing and really nothing do with devils or demons. (In fact, as I said before, there are no devils and demons like KFC sees everywhere in Judaism. They are simply not a Judaeo-Christian tradition.)

Wearing an amulet is superstition. Jews do use amulets but the practice is not considered very important or useful. Furthermore, Jewish amulets focus on the inscription, focusing on the form is considered idolatry.

When I travel to Israel I always make sure that I am not wearing anything that could be considered an amulet. I do not want to do anything stupid arriving in the holy land.

Christianity discourages amulets.

Not driving on a certain street because of supposed demonic influences is stupid superstition and shows a lack of faith.

As LW said, none of the words have anything to do with demons, and when I saw the blog title I was expecting something more than a list of common English words of Greek and other origin.

LW had this funny example of "demonic language". I honestly believed that you would cover that here, in earnest.

Well...

Tarot is a card game. I have playd it myself quite often. It has NOTHING to do with demons or spiritualism or anything.

Sabbat is something Christians are supposed to do once a week, even when the practice was moved from the seventh day to the "Lord's Day". "Shabbos" (European) or "Shabbat" (Israeli) derived from the root SBT which means "sit, rest". The Hebrew word for seven ("sheva") has a root related to it as well: SB`. (The word is older than Indo-European "seven" and if it is related, "seven" would be a loan from Semitic.)

Kaballah derives from a root QBL, which means "welcome".

Hate to dissappoint you, KFC, but I know all the words you list above. SOME of them have to do with demons, but most do not.

EmperorofIceCream knows it, KFC knows it, anyone with a halfway decent education knows those words. I can tell you where the Hebrew and Latin roots come from. I studied Latin for eight years as well.

You should read more comic books.

"Asterix" alone covers about a third of the words above.

Most of these words have nothing to do with 'fallen angels and those they convert.'

Most? So some do in your opinion? All of these terms would fall into the warning of 1 Timothy 4:1.

If you've ever worn a cross around your neck, carried a rabbit's foot (or other token item) for 'luck', or stuck a 4-leafed clover in your wallet you've carried an 'amulet.'

Yes, I have a cross and once upon a time when I was young have carried a rabbit's foot around. Now, of course, I realize how foolish it was to carry a dead animal's foot around with me for luck. For one thing, I don't believe in luck. An amulet is an object said to have magical power or significance. The object is worn or carried on the person like you've said. An amulet might be intended to provide protection, insure success or even cause harm to persons. These are nothing but items used to take us away from trusting in God and can become in some cultures and instances as nothing more than a form of idol worship, Instead of relying on God and his protection we are transferring that belief to a created thing. I don't wear a cross to bring me luck or guarentee my success but only serves as a reminder of what the cross stands for.

I suppose many ancient Rabbis must have been 'converted by fallen angels' since the Kabbalah is simply a body of mystical teachings of rabbinical origin, often based on an esoteric interpretation of the Hebrew Scriptures

I agree with Leauki in that Kabbalah is Jewish mystisim. The Kabbalah is a mystical body of lore, based on an occult interpretation of the OT and other Hebrew religious literature. The term means "acceptance or tradition."

since some of them have displayed the stigmata, which resemble the wounds of Christ.

Stigmata are wounds. Wounds that may or may not bleed that are similar to those on the body of Christ and may appear on lving persons or on statues. Stigmata is unbiblical and mediumistic.

you've used that good book as an oracle.

Yes, an oracle is a revelation or message from something supernatural. In this case I'm referring to an oracle usually transmitted through a medium. Such a medium might be referred to as an oracle.

When you engage in structured group prayer, or ask that God's spirit join you in any endeavor or place, you are incanting and conjuring.

An incanation is a spell or charm used in or as part of ritual of magic. It may be defined also as a formula of words spoken, chanted or sung that are used for their special magical virtues or effects. When we, as a group, sing or pray to God it doesn't involve any magic or spell but only giving our praises and prayer back to God as a fellowship with the God who created us.

To conjure is to call up the dead and/or the devil or demons. Various forms of magic are used in this practice. Again, Christians are NOT to do this and no we do not practice this.

You claim to have 'seen a demon' in another Christian's eyes. That could also be called an apparition.

Not really. An apparition is the appearance of a disembodied or ghostlike form. I didn't see that. In mediumistic circles, an apparition may look and speak like a deceased person. Apparitions are usually transparent, have the appearance of being clothed and seem to be white or yellowish in color. What I saw was different. I saw flashing eyes and jerky body movements including physical activity wishing to do harm to those around him or her. In a church setting this was way out of line.and very disturbing. I'm not even sure they were Christians. Only God knows the heart. All I can do is test the spirit and this was not a good spirit.

Every single Biblical prophet has engage in precognition, divination, clairaudience, clairvoyance and/or soothsaying, many of them in a trance while doing so. They've also seen apparitions.

No. In scripture we are warned NOT to engage in such things. It's very clear. Who was in a trance doing so that you are recalling here?

How about those who use yoga as part of their exercise routine? (Pilates moves really helped my lower back pain, btw.)

I've practiced yoga myself at one time and have no problem with the physical activity of Yoga.

Yoga or "union" includes various physical and physical-physchical exercises designed to enable one to gain control over bodily processess, possess occult powers or to achieve union with God. Americanizations of Eastern yoga have often centered in the strictly physical aspects of yoga which I have no problem with. It's the mystical or occult emphasis of traditional yoga I'd have issue with. Some yoga is even combined with astral projection or meditation. Yoga is extremely sexually oriented. Incubi and succubi (which I noticed you didn't mention) are common occurences.

For what it's worth, KFC, I really think you're losing it. You see the devil in every shadow, satanic influences in everyday things, and demons in the eyes of your fellow Christians.

hahahaha why because I've written two blogs on this recently? I do think the devil is quite active and know he likes to lurk around unoticed. I think it's good to uncover evil and let others know about his presence. He's not a friend of mine and I loathe the fact he's got so many deceived and in his grip. As far as my fellow Christians are concerned I'm not sure, like I've said that those two occurrences involved Christian people. I said they professed to be Christians. Only God knows.

This kind of reminds me of Simon in Acts. On the outside he seemed ok. Or how about Peter or Judas? From all appearances if we were there, we'd think Judas was the Christian not Peter. Remember Judas kissed Christ in the garden while Peter not only ran away but cursed and denounced him later. So coming from a human perspective we'd be on Judas' side wouldn't we? But only God knows the heart.

I would be more worried about some other behaviors eminating from the dark side such as: killing, murder, assault, rape, incest, starvation, torture, poverty, theft, lying, deceit, intoxication, and the like.

Well I agree and I think they can be linked. We may think it's only the extreme but many times all that you mentioned starts with a bad spirit and many times these practices (all or part) are used by the perpetrators. I'm sure you've heard of Charles Manson, member of the Fraternity of Satan? How about Bishop James Pike also a product of the 60's and his involvement with spiritualism? How about Gary Gilmore who was executed in Jan of 77? He was convicted of brutal murders in the 70's. He wished to be executed because he was being haunted by hideous demons that bit and clawed him.

Be well.

You as well and stay far away from those demons.

You remind me of a group of christians with whom I once associated. They refused to drive along a certain road, because the road ran by a field, and in the field had once been located a travelling show that had as one of its features a 'gypsy fortune teller'.

Well I'm not that bad emp. That wouldn't bother me at all. I've also heard one person say she wouldn't buy "devil's food cake" because it had the word devil in it. Ridiculous.

Because of the presence of this so-called gypsy the entire field, the road that ran by it, everything in it, all were now under 'satanic influence' and should be avoided at all costs, in case good christians like these should somehow be dragged off to hell as a consequence of these 'influences'.

See I don't agree with this. This is nothing more than superstition. I'd have to ask "How big is their God?"

So why are you all so obsessed by demons - who on your own account ought to flee in terror if a christian merely farts in their direction?

Well I wouldn't say I'm obsessed or that Christians are in general. No more than Jesus or Paul who warned us against the tactics and lure of the devil and his angels. By warning others of Satan and bringing him into view is that obsession? I wrote two blogs on this. I also wrote a blog on angels. Am I obsessed about Angels because of this? No. The fact is I just finished studying this doctrine and recently took a mid-term and final on this subject. I thought it was interesting and thought others might find it interesting as well. That's it. Please believe me....no obsession here. I'm now studying the doctrine of Salvation. When I write about that later on will that also be an obsession of the moment?

What was the point of your foolish list? All you've demonstrated is that you have absolutely no grasp of the meaning of the terms you've assembled here. Are you trying to prove that you are a frightened individual who clings to her 'god' and her ego for the same reason? Because she has nothing else?

Polite as usual I see. If you notice, I didn't delete you like I usually do. I actually found you to be more charming this time and not as antagonistic as usual. The point? Didn't really have one. Just thought it was interesting and kind of went along with the Evil Angels blog I wrote earlier. So why do I not have a grasp of the terms? I think I gave LW a good definition of the terms she brought up. Am I wrong in any of them? If so, please let me know.

You're an idiot, KFC. A poisonously frightened idiot.

no so charming now are we? Let me ask you this....why does this bother you so much? Have I struck a nerve here? You seem to becoming unglued. If you knew me, you'd know darn well I'm not frightened one twit. Name calling is not becoming and would fall in line with the terminolgy of the demons. But you are not going to deny you have an affinity for the demons afterall are you?

I don't recall seeing many of these words in the Bible. Of course the Bible isn't exactly the "bible" for demons is it? hahahaha I crack myself up.

Some are, most are not. These words would fit the theology that wouldn't have anything to do with biblical theology. God wants us to focus on him and his words not the words of demons.

I'm currently taking a two year course from Liberty as you know. I'm about halfway done and this section was on the doctrine of angels, both good and bad angels. These terms were actually compiled by an author called Kent Philpot who wrote a manuel on the occult.

Be careful T you don't crack a rib!

...Wait...how in the hell is yoga considered evil?  Does it make you too flexible and thus able to spread more evil?

Also, if I had telekinesis I would totally use it...I could be a freaking superhero.

My wife refuses to make me deviled eggs. Instead, she makes me 'Angel eggs' which is the same thing only ridiculous.

Oh well, what can you do?

My wife refuses to make me deviled eggs.

hahahah they must be wickedly delicious. I didn't think of that one.

...Wait...how in the hell is yoga considered evil?

wait. Didn't I explain it? Did you read what I wrote in my explanation to LW? Do you know what incubi and succubi are?

You guys write so much...*sigh*

Incubi and succubi are male and female (respectively) sexual demons that are basically sex parasites capable of draining the life and/or soul out of a victim if the rape(or intercourse) continues.

However, as I understand it, incubi and succubi are Jewish based demons(sprung forth from Adam's first wife, Lilith) and have nothing to do with the Eastern practice of yoga. Although there are variations of the succubus/incubus demons around the world...I don't believe I've ever heard of one relation to Eastern religions...though there might well be.

~Zoo

Most of the words mean nothing because they are mostly fantasy. Anything out of tune with reality is not acceptable to me: Some may be anti-Christ but they are all a result of people probing too far intothings that are not there. It amazes me how many people are misled by weird cults/anti-normal behaviour simply because they're so spaced out on hashish and cocaine--aswell aswatching crappy junk like World of Warcraft etc to escape reality.

But you disagree with my statement, made prior to his?

No, I'm in agreement with you on this statement.

That depends on one's definition of 'magic' (or magick, to distinguish it from card tricks and the like.)

I'm referring to black or white magic. I'm not too sure about neutral or natural magic but have heard of it. Magic involving incanations, charms and witchcraft is what I'm referring to. They are believed to be able to secure the compliance or help of supernatural of spiritual power. The witch, sorcerer, or wizard employs magic in his particular form of occult practice. Magicians are supposedly able to read minds and display a variety of ESP practices. They are also able to attack others through control of demonic spiritual forces. They use spells, love magic, hate magic, death magic, and voodoo. Black witches or warlocks give consciouos fanatical allegiance to the devil while White magic differs in that white witches usually are not intentionally or consciously using satanic power. The difference is because the reality of Satan is that he is both an angel of light and the prince of darkness.

Do you even know what 'occult' means, KFC? It has no good or evil connotations whatsoever, it simply means 'hidden.'

Yes it means to hide or conceal so the occult is that which is hidden or concealed right? My question is why hide? This kind of reminds me of what Paul said in 2:Cor 4:2-4:

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost. In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ who is the image of God should shine unto him.

Satan is into hiding stuff. God is in the revealing business. Thus the spiritual warefare that we are under.

However, as I understand it, incubi and succubi are Jewish based demons(sprung forth from Adam's first wife, Lilith)

Adam only had one wife. Bigamy wasn't introduced until Adam's great grandson (From son Cain) took two wives.

Let me ask you this....why does this bother you so much? Have I struck a nerve here? You seem to becoming unglued. If you knew me, you'd know darn well I'm not frightened one twit. Name calling is not becoming and would fall in line with the terminolgy of the demons. But you are not going to deny you have an affinity for the demons afterall are you?

What bothers me is not your 'argument', such as it is. None of your arguments have ever bothered me. What has always bothered me is that you preach your own brand of incoherent nonsense as if it were the sine qua non of religious revelation. You're entirely welcome to your foolish opinions; you're just as welcome to spread them among the fools who listen to you. But don't expect to go unchallenged, or unrebuked. You worship the idols of your own imagination and you are no more a christian than I am. The great difference between us is that I'm happy to admit it.

But you are not going to deny you have an affinity for the demons afterall are you?

Nope, I'm certainly not going to deny that. I have an affinity for spiritual existences in all their forms, whether or not the likes of you regard them as 'demons', 'angels', or homunculi in the service of the IRS.

Yoga is extremely sexually oriented. Incubi and succubi (which I noticed you didn't mention) are common occurences.

You should take it up again, and make the acquaintance of a couple of Incubi. Perhaps they could do what your husband evidently can't and resolve some of the tensions and frustrations you're so evidently subject to. Or was that too lacking in charm for you? [Yes, that was cheap, low and nasty. I'm almost ashamed of myself for posting such a charmless jibe. But only almost].

No. In scripture we are warned NOT to engage in such things. It's very clear. Who was in a trance doing so that you are recalling here?

The degree to which you don't understand the book you claim as a revelation from your God continues to astound me. I'm now convinced that when the Tentmaker forbade women to teach he was thinking of women just like you; empty headed, full of self-conceit and self-satisfaction. Read this: Ezekiel 4: 1-16; Ezekiel 5: 1-5. And then tell me again how non-biblical trance states are.

Here's a helpful hint in regard to your personal finances. Stop wasting money on the effusions of the faculty of Liberty University and read the book you profess to be true. You'll find it more illuminating than anything that bloated demagogue Falwell had to say, or anything to be said by the intellectual monkey-puppets that work for the institution he founded, whose paychecks depend on them toeing the line of the nonsense Falwell espoused as 'theology'. A more febrile mishmash of sentimentalism and hyper-emotionalism is hard to imagine.

Can you hear your Satan laughing at you, KFC?
