I was volunteering at a local cat adoption fair in our PetsMart. A man came up to us wearing a biker vest loaded with satanic patches. Upside down crosses, "satanic church" "witch general" etc. My phone was dead or I would have certainly recorded the interaction. His t-shirt had a picture of Baphomet and the word Baphomet above the picture.
He wanted to adopt a particular black cat, but the $90 fee bothered him. He said he would be back later. He walked around the corner and i followed him. He met up with 2 adult women also with satanic symbols on their clothing and tattoos of the same.
I asked the head volunteer not to let him adopt if he came back -- I explained the best way I knew how -- "Would you adopt a cat to someone who advertises that they sacrifice animals?"
She was shocked by my question. I just asked her to be very leery. I also said that I will do my best to get her "receipts"
I would appreciate any receipts you may have, my Frens.
In the pre-Christian days, animals were often sacrificed to appease the gods. This is different from hunting or slaughtering an animal for food. We are talking about a deliberate, public, ritualistic sacrifice.
One of the most important things about the spread of Christianity was that it halted these practices. Now do you understand why the worldwide psychopaths have such a hatred of Christianity?
The people were told, in essence, "You no longer have to sacrifice your children, or any other humans, or animals, in an effort to appease your gods. God did that for you when he sent His only son to earth to serve as the final sacrifice. It's no longer necessary, so stop doing it."
The Eucharist is puzzling to many. Some ask, "Why would we drink his blood? Why would we eat his flesh?"
The answer is: We aren't. That's the point.
The bread and wine take the place of the human flesh and blood, because Christ instructed us to substitute them. The bread and wine are just as good ("this is my blood you drink, this is my body you eat") as long as we remember the sacrifice that Jesus made so we do not sacrifice - and consume - an actual human ever again ("if you would remember me when you eat and drink.")
Just as it says in the Solus Christus, Jesus was the final human sacrifice and it's supposed to stay that way. That's why He was called "the lamb of God." It was not because he was weak or foolish, as sheep are usually seen as being. It's because lambs were very commonly sacrificed in the rituals of Jesus' time, whenever humans (especially children) weren't being used.
I appreciate your time spent on your comment. Thanks, Fren. Wish everyone would see my post for what it is, and in the spirit in which it is intended. I sucks that some comments are not meant the same way as my intentions are...to alert, educate, and inform.
