Topic: Satan controls the water? | |
---|---|
I have a question for those who know the bible. I'm curious..not enough to research and study the bible scriptures. I moved to the Oregon Coast 7 months ago... I love it. Anyway , since I have been here I've had several people voice concern for me because I live just steps away from the beach and that satan controls the water on the planet, hense using it for evil. Is there anything in the bible that would warant this type of fear? Seems like nonense to me... |

Never heard that one.
I'll look into it and see if I can find anything though. I would think water would be more Godly than Satanic though, seeing how water is a source of life and all. |

yeah totage, that's my feelings on it too..the power, energy, beauty of the sea..not bad and evil. I thought it was fire that was the symbol of satan, not the water.

I did some search online and it looks like what you're talking about is Mormon urban legend, and not from the Bible, but some Mormon doctorine or some other nonsense.

Yeah, it seems like a weird religion. I never really looked into it or anything, It just seems like a weird religion to me.
If you are ever curious about Christianity though, check out http://ag.org That's the Assemblies of God website. They'll guide you in the right direction. If you want to look up things in the Bible online, try http://www.biblegateway.com/ |

I was just thinking. You get baptised in the water, so Satan can't have control of the water, because it cleanses you.
Ezekiel 36:25 (NIV) 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. John 7:38 (NIV) 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”[a] Footnotes: a.John 7:38 Or me. And let anyone drink who believes in me.” As Scripture has said, “Out of him (or them) will flow rivers of living water.” |

Mormons baptise, full ermersion as it's called. Cleansing waters makes more sense...love living on the water, can't be bad. Such silliness.
Thanks for the references |

You're welcome.
I love the water too. I love all nature. I see nature as Gods canvas and paint. |
|
|
|
my god is nature
|
|
|
|
I think God is much more than nature. Nature is just a small part of God.
|
|
|
|
god is big, i agree
|
|
|
|
Bigger than we can imagine.

God is the only controller of both the sea and the land.

its from the mormon doctrines and Covenants, based on a vision their prophet Joseph Smith saw in 1831 during a trip on missouri waters,,,
never took a fashion to the particular teachings of Joseph Smith myself,, but that appears to be where that train of thought is from |

As a crowned prince of Hell, Satan represents the element water. There is one crowned prince for each element. Azazel is Fire, Astaroth is Earth, Baalzebub is Air, and there is a 5th for Quintessence. Oh you said, "in the bible" um.... nevermind.

I've heard the unholy Satan, is the angel of music. But I think he has real power.
So controlling a body of water is entirely possible. |

I believe that Joseph Smith was basically abducted by non human life forms...or what some call aliens. (I also believe that aliens are mostly without compassion and love for humans, and that all demons are also what I call aliens, but a more correct term for them is non human self aware life forms.) They may not all be "evil" but they all do have an agenda. Water is considered a feminine object. Feminine is classified as "negative." These aliens are believed to be able to control the water to a certain extent. Many people claim to have seen unidentified flying objects or space ships come up from the oceans and large lakes. Bodies of water may act as portals to another world or dimension like star gates. Sound impossible? Of course. But reality is probably much stranger than we think. P.S. Navy ships were probably the first official government unit to encounter space ships coming up from the ocean. They know all about them. There are many above top secret units in the navy that deal with this stuff. |

To say that pride is bad does not make sense.
People should not be ashamed but take pride in themselves and their accomplishments. There is nothing wrong with pride. But religious zealots and preachers are fond of shaking their fingers at people and saying "shame on you..." and using guilt trips to gain control of their following. Making humans feel unworthy and keeping them with their noses to the ground worshiping them allows them to pull the wool over their eyes and stay in power. |
