Pornography and Satan’s Trap

Pornography and Satan’s Trap

The pornographic industry is a multi-billion dollar industry that works by bringing both men and women into satanic bondage. Sadly, it is one of the most popular industries in the world. It is a snare of the devil and a deadly trap for those caught up in its web.

(Sin is a pied piper.)

I (the author) am writing this article because God delivered me from this evil trap a few years ago and I want to encourage men (and women) to get out of this snare of the devil. I have learned that this trap will literally bring the souls of men (and women) down to Hell. That is the devil’s plan and sadly, it is working. But, God can reverse it. God only can set a man or woman caught up in this trap free. In this article, we will find out how to get free from the grip of pornography.

Pornography is an addiction that 70% of men from 18 to 34 are caught up in (1). More than 72 million people view adult websites worldwide each month (1). Over 50% of pastors in America say that pornography is a possible temptation (i.e. they are admitting that they have a problem) (2). Fifty percent (50%) of all Christian men surveyed admit that they are addicted to pornography (2) and 20% of all Christian women admit they are addicted (2).

Pornography has its clutches over many, many people around the world. It is an evil and harmful addiction which has destroyed many marriages and destroyed many men’s souls. How is this so?

Jesus Christ said…

Matthew 5:28-29

28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 

29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Jesus is saying to get rid of what tempts you to sin (i.e. what offends you). Proverbs 7 talks more about this. Please take the time to read, seek God, and think about this.

Proverbs 7:1-5

1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. 

2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. 

3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: 

5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

The strange woman is the harlot, or the prostitute, or the image of a woman that a man is lusting after. This prostitute tells the man “Come, let us take our fill of love….”

Proverbs 7:18-27 (bold / underline added)

18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. 

19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: 

20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. 

21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. 

24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. 

25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. 

26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. 

27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

This is very serious. “He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, […] as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.” And there are eternal consequences for committing fornication, lust, or adultery (including pornography): “Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.”

The New Testament also gives a strong warning.

Defending the Jews: “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion Exposed” (Part 2 of 2)

In part one, we looked at Anti-Semitism in medieval Europe and during the Catholic Crusades. We saw how Medieval rule forced Jews to wear special badges identifying them as Jews (just as in Nazi Germany), and how they were forced into ghettos, and how they were wrongfully accused of unfounded crimes (both in Nazi Germany and in medieval Europe).

The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion Exposed

(Sergei Nilus)

There is a mistaken belief (existing even today) that Jews are behind the Illuminati and a sort of Jewish New World Order. Henry Ford believed it and he wrote many newspaper articles attacking the Jews, claiming that they were part of a conspiracy to destroy America (g) (see Works Cited below). This belief was also made popular by the publication of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. The book was published in Russian in 1905 by Sergei Nilus (d). In the book the Jewish characters are conversing back and forth about their plans for controlling the world. It has been proven that The Protocols… is a hoax and was based on an earlier publication.

In 1865, a book titled “Dialogue aux Enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu, ou la Politique de Machiavel au XIX. Siècle. Par un Contemporain” (or "A Dialogue in Hell Between Montesquieu and Machiavelli") was published in Brussels, Belgium (e). Its author Maurice Joly was a lawyer and satirist who lived during the reign of Napoleon III. He wrote the book as a dialogue between different characters with the intention of criticizing his government (d). He was arrested shortly after its publication and was sentenced to 18 months of jail time (e).

Some 40 years later, The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion was published. Its similarity to “Dialogue in Hell…” by Maurice Joly is very striking.

(Maurice Joly)

“A Dialogue in Hell”, by Joly (f):

[Fourth Dialogue]

“Machiavelli: You do not know the unfathomable cowardice of humanity, servile in the face of force, pitiless in the face of weakness, implacable before blunders, indulgent before crimes, incapable of supporting the contrarieties of a liberal regime, and patient to the point of martyrdom before all the violences of bold despotism, upsetting thrones in its moments of anger, and giving itself rulers whom it pardons for actions the least of which would have caused it to decapitate twenty constitutional kings.”

Now, compare The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion to "Dialogues in Hell".

“Protocols:”(f)

[Number 3, Paragraph 16]

“It is the bottomless rascality of the goyim peoples, who crawl on their bellies to force, but are merciless toward weakness, unsparing to faults, and indulgent toward crimes, unwilling to bear the contradictions of a free social system but patient unto martyrdom under the violence of bold despotism. It is those qualities which are aiding us to independence. From the premier-dictators of the present day the goyim peoples suffer patiently and bear such abuse as for the least of them they would have beheaded twenty kings.”

There are many more examples of plagiarism in “The Protocols.”

Maurice Joly’s “A Dialogue in Hell:” (e)

[pg. 250.]

“MONTESQUIEU: How are loans made? By the issue of bonds entailing on the Government the obligation to pay interest proportionate to the capital it has been paid. Thus, if a loan is at 5 per cent., the State, after 20 years, has paid out a sum equal to the borrowed capital. When 40 years have expired it has paid double, after 60 years triple: yet it remains debtor for the entire capital sum.”

“Protocols:”(e)

[pg. 77]

“A loan is an issue of Government paper which entails an obligation to pay interest amounting to a percentage of the total sum of the borrowed money. If a loan is at 5 per cent., then in 20 years the Government would have unnecessarily paid out a sum equal to that of the loan in order to cover the percentage. In 40 years it will have paid twice; and in 60 thrice that amount, but the loan will still remain as an unpaid debt.”

As you can see, The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion plagiarized Maurice Joly’s much earlier publication. The only reason for it being published was to spread lies about the Jews. Sadly, Henry Ford bought into this big lie, as did Adolf Hitler. In Hitler’s Germany, the Nazi party published and distributed large quantities of “The Protocols” (h).

Hitler wrote (in Mein Kampf) in strong support of “The Protocols” (h):

Defending the Jews: The Truth about Israel (Part 1 of 2) (The Truth About Anti-Semitism in Medieval Europe and the Knights Templar)

Defending the Jews: The Truth about Israel

(Part 1 of 2)

(Click here to read part 2.)

For thousands of years Israel was recognized as an important nation in the Middle East. During different periods of Israel’s history, kings and rulers gave her tribute and gifts. She was accepted as being a legitimate country and was envied by her neighbors. During the days of King Solomon, Israel had vast stores of gold and silver and precious stones: wealth that today would exceed the wealth of billionaires. This was ancient Israel’s golden age. But it didn’t last.

When Israel turned away from their God and served the idols of the nations around them, they became wicked and burned their children in the fires of Moloch, the Caananite god of child-sacrifice.

God brought them warning, by the mouth of prophets, time and time again, but they did not listen. Finally, God allowed the Assyrians to capture the northern kingdom of Israel, leaving the southern kingdom of Judah and Benjamin. The Jews in Judah and Benjamin did not learn from their northern brothers and continued in a period of idolatry (which was broken up by periods of returning back to God).

Again, God in His mercy sent prophets to warn the people and to turn them back to Him, but the people (for the most part) did not listen. And, eventually God allowed Babylon to take the Jews into captivity. After a period of 70 years, just as God had promised, He returned the Jews back to their land.

Some time went by and then Jesus Christ, the Messiah, came. Jesus Christ fulfilled all the prophecies of the Messiah who God promised to be the Savior of the Jews and of the Gentiles (see Genesis 3:15, Psalm 22, and Isaiah 53). The self-righteous, arrogant Pharisees and Sadducees rejected Jesus Christ as the Messiah, even after all the miracles He did, and had Him crucified on a Roman cross. But, other Jews believed in Jesus Christ and they spread the Gospel message of salvation to the world, starting at Jerusalem. (Paul the Apostle was a Jew, as were all the 12 disciples of Jesus.)

In 70 A.D. Titus, a Roman general, besieged Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple, and Jews were scattered into many countries. In their new countries, they gathered together in communities and preserved their culture as best they could.

Jews in Europe

(Jews wearing yellow badges in Medieval Europe.)

During their whole existence in Europe and elsewhere, the Jews were despised by their Gentile neighbors. Sir Walter Scott, author of Ivanhoe, gives the reader a taste of the hatred and loathing Europeans felt toward Jews during the middle ages.

Scott writes (Ivanhoe, Chapter IV, pg. 1.):

Oswald, returning, whispered into the ear of his master, "It is a Jew, who calls himself Isaac of York; is it fit I should marshall him into the hall?"

"Let Gurth do thine office, Oswald," said Wamba with his usual effrontery; "the swineherd will be a fit usher to the Jew."

"St Mary," said the Abbot, crossing himself, "an unbelieving Jew, and admitted into this presence!"

"A dog Jew," echoed the Templar, "to approach a defender of the Holy Sepulchre?"

"By my faith," said Wamba, "it would seem the Templars love the Jews' inheritance [the land of Israel] better than they do their company."

[…]

"Hush," said Cedric, "for here he comes."

Introduced with little ceremony, and advancing with fear and hesitation, and many a bow of deep humility, a tall thin old man, […] approached the lower end of the board. His features, […], would have been considered as handsome, […][but] during those dark ages, was alike detested by the credulous and prejudiced vulgar, and persecuted by the greedy and rapacious nobility [….]

[…]

[…] Cedric himself coldly nodded in answer to the Jew's repeated salutations, and signed to him to take place at the lower end of the table, where, however, no one offered to make room for him. […] and the very heathen Saracens, as Isaac drew near them, curled up their whiskers with indignation, and laid their hands on their poniards [daggers], as if ready to [kill him] [….]

Jews have been vilified and mistreated for thousands of years and it is nothing they have earned. Many people today detest them for simply being Jewish. But, this attitude is nothing new. It has been around for a long time. During the middle ages Jews, who were sometimes vilified as “Christ-killers”, were denied the right to own land. Because the Catholic Church did not permit their members to lend money, Jews were allowed to do the lending (a) (see Works Cited in part 2). They also were allowed to serve kings as tax collectors, and sadly many people despised them (a).
