Yea there is a verse in that big book that says do not judge lest you be judged .
As far as true bonified real satinist go.
Im talking people who literally get on bended knee and pray dear devil at night .
Not talking about a metal head that listens to Iron Maiden or Slater .
But true genuine satinist in a literal sense .
I would take the under on 75000 people in the United States that are actual devil worshipers

Hmmm
Romans chapter 6
speaks of law and grace .
the law is dead grace abounds
seems like you way too law heavy in your beliefs
That’s simply not true
The most misinterpreted verse in the Bible.
[FONT="]7 “Judge not, that you be not judged.[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
[/FONT]The Bible doesn't say that we shouldn't *discern* situations, it says that we should take care of our own business in an area before we point out someone else's problems in
that area.
Besides, there are plenty of other places in the Bible that tell us to judge/discern things:
1 Corinth 2:15 A wise man judges all things
We are not to judge someone's eternal destiny, that is God's job.
Illini,
You are taking one eschatological view (which I think is wrong) and proclaiming it as truth. Most of Revelation was fulfilled in the first century, and Nero was the anti-Christ.
Revelation 1:1
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John.
My favorite is a parable. One time I was really struggling with my faith. I was praying and asking for an answer from God. I actually had the Bible in my hand and was asking for confirmation that he (God) exists. I asked him to show me when I opened the Bible randomly to something that would help me with my faith. So what was it when I opened it and read? It was a parable. For those who don’t know, parables are written in red and it’s to show when Jesus is talking. It was The Seed Of The Sower. How crazy is that?? For those who may not know The Seed of The Sower is literally about Faith. I couldn’t have opened it to a more dead on answer. Here it is....
[h=3]The Parable of the Sower[/h][FONT="]13 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. 2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. 3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”[/FONT]
[FONT="]10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”[/FONT]
[FONT="]11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:[/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="]“Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.[/FONT]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:[/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="]“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’[a][/FONT]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.[/FONT]
[FONT="]18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown[/FONT]
