1 Thessalonians 5:22 "Abstain from all appearance of evil."
Many people have pagan symbols and demonic tools in their yards, on their porches and in their houses and do not realize it. As christians, we are to avoid any likeness of darkness. We are not to associate with any forces of darkness and the forces of evil. Even if we do not use these objects for the purpose of evil, just having these tools of satan could bring bad events or deception into our lives. A list of pagan symbols/satanic tools is below. If you have any of these on your property, you should remove them immediately. Destroy them and throw them in the trash. Do NOT sell them or give them away. To do that would be no different than giving drugs to a drug addict. They must be destroyed and thrown away or burned.
Gazing Ball, Crystal ball, garden gazing ball, glass orb, witches ball: Far from harmless, these glass orbs open a direct line to the other world.
Used for divination (fortunetelling, scrying, clairvoyance...)when the heavy crystal balls were too expensive, witches often used glass-ball fishing floats, colored glass balls, or magic mirrors. They do not keep evil away. That is a myth. Pagan objects do not keep evil away. Think about it. These garden balls are also related to the UFO sphere orbs. Remove these cystal or glass balls from your property! Would Jesus have a gazing ball in his house?
Sun Face, Sun sphere, Sun decorations: The sun is the most popular of pagan gods. For every true thing of God, there is a false or deceptive replacement. The Son of God is Jesus. There is only one true God. The false idol gods include the objects of creation such as the sun. If you have a porch or garden or wall decoration of the sun face or sun sphere, it is a pathway for the forces of evil to enter your property. You should remove this pathway. Would Jesus have a sun-sphere in his house?
gargoyles: These statues of water spirits seem harmless and are suppose to ward off evil spirits. But just the looks of these stone creatures tell you their true meaning. These are obviously statues of evil spirits themselves. IF you have an addiction to these creatures and the treasures of having them, you need to open your eyes, open your mind and ask God to show you His Will, not yours. Ask God to guide you. Would Jesus want one of these on his porch?
christmas trees: These existed before Jesus was born as a human. They existed in Old Testament times and was for religion purposes on Dec. 25th to celebrate the sun god.
Jeremiah 10:2-4 says Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck (decorate) it with silver and with gold; the fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
This is obliviously a christmas tree. It is the only tree in the world that people go out into the woods, cut it down, bring it inside, fasten it that it will not fall down and decorate it. This is a work of the heathen and is in vain. Jer. 10:11 says Thus shall ye say unto them, the gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
Open your eyes! What does the christmas tree have to do with Jesus' birth? Nothing!
The christmas tree is a sign of fertility/sex. All the greenery associated with christmas has to do with the winter solstice and the sun gods. For more information on christmas, see the christmas link in the navigation menu on the left. Would Jesus have a christmas tree in his house?
-Upside down satanic or st.peters cross
-Anarchy symbol - The letter "A" enclosed in a circle which represents rebellion against all authority especially God. "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" is their satanic slogan.
Also, I feel strongly we should NOT have any picture nor statue of Christ as we do NOT know exactly what He looked like in His previous human years therefore any picture or image of Him is incorrect to His true likeness and therefore is an image of someone else or an imagination and NOT of the true Christ.
Following is NOT pagan despite attacks against them:
-Fish Symbol
-the Cross
-The Star of David
-The Messianic Seal
-The Rainbow (sign of Gods faithfulness and promises, but stolen and misused by gay people)
Now of course they (anything) can be used wrong. We are NOT to worship any symbol or picture or anything other than God himself. But just as it is not wrong to write the name of God, it is not wrong to draw things that represent our loyalty to Him as long as we do not place these articles into the realm of idols, things that we worship or things that replace our worship or replace our focus upon Him.
Concerning the Star of David and The fish symbol for Christ, one reader suggested I add these to the list. This was my response:
I have read MUCH concerning the fish symbol and the star of David and other possible pagan symbols. At one time, I was close to deciding that they were pagan. But I was not convinced and continued to study and pray about it. Upon further guidance from the Holy Spirit, I eventually came to fully accept the star of David and the fish symbol as Holy. This is primarily because of many reasons that I have come to this conclusion. Among which include but not limited to:
1. The Father and Christ through the Holy Spirit has corrected me about MANY things but has never corrected me about these symbols.
2. The Father and Christ has given me the gift of discernment of Spirits and I do not discern any evil in these symbols, just the opposite.
3. Concerning the star of David, I have found the following article interesting and useful and edifying:
"MAGEN DAVID - Also known as Solomon's Seal or the Star of David. This symbol used by Yahweh's chosen race (Debarim/Deuteronomy 7:14) is often confused with the hexagram by those not familiar with symbology but the Magen David lacks the all too familiar circle associated with most other popular occultic symbols. Magen is the Hebrew word for shield, this is why it is sometimes called the Shield of David. Legend has it that King David's shield was shaped as such. It is more likely to be associated to King Solomon than with King David as the symbol appears on the handle of King Solomon's Sword.
Some critics claim that the Magen David is the Star of Kiyyan (also: Kijun, Kiyuhn, Rephan, Remphan, or Rhemphan) warned of in Scripture (Amos 5:25-27 & Acts 7:43). I am not fully convinced of there claims for several reasons. If it were such a whicked symbol then why don't the pagans wear it, and why don't you see it being sold at Spencers? Every vile creature that walks the earth seems to wear either a cross or a crucifix around their neck but I have yet to see any, not even one of them who will come within ten feet of the Magen David."END QUOTE
4. Both the Star of David and the fish symbol are part of what's been discovered as the Messianic Seal.
I have been led by the Holy Spirit that this is a Holy Symbol which represents the merging of the New and Old Covenants and that this symbol is important. I use it on the main page of the website. You can find further information about it on the following websites: The Messianic Seal at ThreeMacs.org Jewish answers The Messianic Seal at Family Bible.org
5. I have previous experience with paganism and satanism. There is a difference between the Star of David and the satanic pentagram. Scroll to the bottom for more information about this. Thanks.
I do think I should probably eventually add the church steeples to the list of pagan symbols. Other than that, among symbols used by Christians, I'm unconvinced of any other ones. Of course there are tons of absolutely certain wicked pagan symbols that I could eventually add.
Thanks for your comments, concerns and suggestions.
More about the fish symbol and why it's not pagan
I have continued to receive more emails of concern about the fish symbol. I continued to study this issue and still feel that it is not pagan. It's true that there was worship of a false fish god called Dagon which the Bible warns against. But where's the proof that the modern fish symbol is the same symbol the pagans used in their worship? The following is the proof I can find of Dagon Fish worship and it does NOT look like the modern day fish symbol used by Christians. It does look like the popes hat and of course he is an pagan worshiper. But his hat has nothing to do with the fish symbol people are talking about.
People say that the fish symbol is 2 crescent moons hooked together. Does the following look like 2 crescent moons? NO, they don't. They look more like arches.
During Roman persecution, 2 Christians would identify each other as being fellow believers by each one drawing half of the fish as you see above.
I have yet to see this fish symbol in ancient pagan worship. If you know of any such picture of THIS fish symbol within ancient pagan worship, please email it to me at istlm@bellsouth.net with the source. Thanks.
Also, pagan, wicca's and satanic people are persecuting this fish symbol. IF it was pagan, they would not persecute it. Believe me, they would be wearing it themselves if it was pagan. They would know it was pagan and would worship it Instead of defacing the symbol. They keep the christmas tree and they keep easter, they do not keep the fish symbol but rather they pollute it as they also do the cross.
Watch the birds and animals and nature to see what you can eat.
Watch the pagans to see what is evil. If you were to go into one of their stores, you would see sunsphere's, sun decorations, orbs, pentagrams, upside down crosses, etc. but you will NOT find a fish symbol until it is a polluted one.
More about the Star of David
From my previous lifestyle experiences, I agree with the following statement from http://www.new-life.net/faq802.htm
Q: I wear a golden Star of David around my neck, and my husband is convinced that rather than a symbol of my firm belief in God, it is a pentagram, or symbol of sorcery and the Devil. Could you by any chance define the difference between the two and settle the long standing disagreement, and possibly show me any visible difference between the two?
A: There is a simple answer and a more detailed history to your question. The simple answer was given to me by Max Mitchell, a believer and a Messianic Jew who has had contact with a number of Satanists over the years: Occult symbols usually have a circle around them. If it's a six pointed star with a circle around it, then it's a hexagram. If it's a six pointed star without a circle around it, then it's a star of David. If it's a five pointed star with a circle around it, then it's a pentagram. If it's a five pointed star without a circle, then it's just a five pointed star.
In occult thinking the circle represents a boundary or an attempt to control the power of the symbol. Other occult symbols enclosed in circles are:
* Anarchy symbol - The letter "A" enclosed in a circle which represents rebellion against all authority especially God. "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" is quoted in the Satanic bible.
