• The world is obsessed with the zodiac, the star signs, and the tarot cards – all that would help them know the future – at least what the day holds for them. There are warnings and remedies for adverse situations they would encounter during the day. Believers have the Bible; they read a verse there or in a calendar in the morning that will send them out with a smile. Some Christian children also join their worldly friends to read the star predictions of the day ignorant that this is demonic.

• Marriages are fixed based on the horoscopes of the bride and the bridegroom so that there would be no hitch in the marriage life of the couple. Even then many marriages end in divorce or the couple remains separated due to various reasons – incompatibility, dowry, and childlessness. Christian marriages are no better. Some parents are paranoid about caste and they are unmindful of the children getting older and going past their age of marriage. And dowry is a decider in many so-called Christian marriages.

• The market is flooded with occult material – even T-Shirts have occult images printed on them; people of the world take pride in wearing such talismans and clothing. Rosary, bracelets, and friendship bands belong to this category. Believers are ignorant of the occultic nature of these articles. They have the Kuberan (Laughing Buddha) statue and Money plant at home (to bring prosperity), the bamboo plant in a glass flask (for good omen), the jingles at the home entrances (to get rid of bad omen), the Vaastu fish (to absorb negative energy), a running fountain at the entrance (for creating positive energy), a Jesus photo at the entrance (to keep away evil spirits), the rosary around the neck (for style and fashion), the upside down cross (as a symbol of world peace), the Baphomet’s hand sign (for expressing comradeship), friendship bands with rainbow ribbons (to show solidarity with the LGBTQ community).

• The worship of Satan in the form of the Baphomet statue in Detroit and Arkansas is another evidence of man seeking to disobey God and defying His word by rebelling against Him and colluding with His adversary in no uncertain terms. Baphomet necklaces, pendants, amulets, and rings are sold today so that buyers can show their allegiance to Satan. SOLVE and COAGULA are inscribed on the arms signifying “binding and loosing” (people from the shackles of sin) or “separate” and “joint together” – words God used when He declared man and woman one flesh.
