The "Twilight" Phenomena

This comes from an article by Caryl Matrisciana and Paul Villanueva at CarylMatrisciana.com on the obsession many young people, including Christian young people, have with vampires. I have a lot of interest in this and eager to hear from readers with their comments.

 

It is deeply disturbing that Christians and youth leaders are undiscerning in biblical doctrine validating Christian youth to participate in vampirism, which is idol worship. Col 2:18-19 warns, "Do not let anyone who delights in….the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize. Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions."

Biblical warnings against tampering in occultism are replete…..
“There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the LORD.” (Deut.18:10-12)

Unfortunately, many churches and Christian organizations downplay the reality of the supernatural war being waged by "dead" spirits and neglect the reality of abusive spiritual warfare by demonic authorities. If only those who confess Jesus Christ as their Lord would learn to "abide" in His Spirit and "know" Him through HIS word then they would be better equipped to discern error from truth, and get involved in the "good fight" we are called to, and WARN against rather than encourage fads like Twilight.
