How can you tell if someone is a satanist?
The bible is completely true Satan is real.Hes pretty much the devil and wants to be like god.Hes baaaddd. Another answer: The word satan in Hebrew means accuser. It was a title similar to lawyer. The term was used in allegory to make a point, by God to demonstrate or challenge a person's faith. The Christian religion twisted the term ha-satan into a personal name to demonstrate that if were not of Jesus Christ, then you were with the enemies team or of Satan
Someone: Satanism; there are several different forms of it. Many religions also see any other religion but themselves as worshipping false gods and therefore the devil.
BatKnight: Christianity, but one is worshipping the wrong god. Think with me, the devil is part of the Christian mythology so any belief in its existence stays on the realm of Christianity. Satanism on the other hand has nothing to do with devil worshipping as I can proof if you go to www.churchofsatan.com or even read the ultimate source of information on Satanism: The Satanic Bible.
Already answered, although others can feel free to add. Rituals are for show. Since you are still asking you have nothing he wants, meaning your soul (unless you change) is not worth enough, is already his, and you are not presently useful in another way. You can change that to make it happen by having something to exchange of enough value, if you are willing to put the work into it, but it doesn't sound that way (jmho) and a lazy bum isn't useful to either side. Logically if you have to choose, since the other side has proven itself stronger for thousands of years and you obviously want something, you are going about it the wrong way and opening Pandora's box. If you tried the right way first and are still empty handed, it's not something you need or were meant to have, you are without it for a good reason which will become known to you when the next door opens. Be careful what you wish for
the statement below is wrong to find any answers you may be looking for use link below-
Deny the existence of Jesus Christ and the Father, and have a desire to do only evil; as prompted by Satan who is the father of all evil.
Answer
There are two "satanic traditions".
One believes in the literal existence of Satan as portrayed in the bible, and yet (eevn though the book of Revelation, among others specifically deny this) believe that Satan will eventually win in the battle with God. TO become one, all you have to do is deny Christianity and start worshipping Satan. The form of this worship varies depending on how extreme you want to get.
The other, LaVeyan Satanism, does not believe in a literal Satan, rather they view him as an archetypal, romantic ideal in the same vein as Prometheus in Greek mythology, or even Satan as portrayed in Milton's Paradise Lost, a more tragic figure, unfairly punished for his challenging of the status quo. To become one of those, read the "Satanic Bible" by Anton Szandor LaVey. If you agree with it, you are ipso facto a Satanist. At that point you can choose to join the church (via their website) or not. Its up to you.
Does Satan possess unlimited Powers even to kill a person?
Christian belief attributes a great deal of power to Satan, but always assumes that Satan will not use those powers to kill anyone. In the Book of Job, God instructed Satan to do any manner of evil to the person of Job, but to stop short of actually killing him. The Books of Matthew and Luke say that Satan lifted Jesus up and placed him on a pinnacle of the temple - if Satan can do that, he can pick an ordinary person up and drop him from a great height.
Christianity has more to gain by focussing our fear of Satan on the spiritual and eternal hellfire than on the possibility that he might kill someone..
What are some of the short-term benefits of selling your soul to Satan?
no short term benefits, you may think that life is all grand but our life oon this earth is only the beginning once you give your soul to satan, that would be the worse decision you could ever make
No, being a Satanist simply means being true to yourself and not following in what society expects of you. Many people think being satanic means you worship Satan and use black magic, but this is a hoax conjured up by the media. Satanists are also believed by close minded people to sacrifice goats and small children to Satan, but again this is another hoax made by the media. I hope I helped and didn't 'drag on' :)
What does it mean if you worship the devil?
It is not clear how exactly you would worship the Devil; there are many legends, spread through horror movies and folk tales, involving scary rituals that take place in the dark or in graveyards. But there is no evidence such stories are true. Some of the things you would probably do include praying to him and making some sort of sacrifice, probably involving blood (some stories involve getting tattoos that show devotion to the prince of darkness). There would also be rituals in which you call upon the Devil to protect you, and you might cast spells upon your enemies. You would also pledge to serve only Satan and not serve God. It should also be noted that wicca (witchcraft) has nothing to do with Satanism; wiccans (called witches by some) celebrate nature and the goddess, and they do not worship the devil.
This question does not have a clear answer, if one is a worshipper of Satan (s)he could still do whatever they feel like to do, as most of the humans normally do. Another things is depending on the Church/culture you worship Satan in/with. For example Satanism described by Anton Szandor Lavey (Satanic church) is ment to be an ideology. Of course it has rules and holidays and certain ideas. But one can not clearly state how people perceive ideas and the written words, nor how they respond to it.
Can Satan give a human immortality?
No. He'll also betray you when he gets the chance.
Answer:
No. Man is already meant for immortality. He may die a physical death but it's the soul that counts. Satan is banking for man to spend eternity in hell with him, this is why he is doing all he can to entice each and every one to live a life of sin. In short he can be an agent for eternal damnation to fall on man.
What is the symbol of baphomet?
The Baphomet, his Sigils, and the point down pentagram are the most common. There are many more than that, the JoyofSatan website has a list of other Satanic symbols with pictures as well as a much more detailed description.
No, Metallica isn't satanist. They don't have anything to do with Satan worshipers. There isn't a single satanist song of Metallica.
no they are not, although it was rumored that AC/DC stands for "After Christ. Devil Comes" but AC/DC is a joke, it actually means bisexual. There are some lyrics in the song "Highway To Hell" but they are just to fit in with the song title and "Highway To Hell" is about a highway that some people have crashed and died.
There was a rumor that AC/DC was an acronym for "After Christ, Devil comes". This is false. The reference to bisexuality is also false. AC/DC is a reference to electrical currents (alternate current/direct current), hence the album titles "High Voltage" and "Powerage".
Where can you locate the church of Satan in Ghana?
There isn't one, the Church of Satan is located in New York.
What is the devil worshiper symbol?
Well by "devil worshiper" I am going to assume you mean to imply those whom worship Satan Lucifer as a God?
But what you should know about Satanism is that its (true/spiritual satanism) is not about committing illegal acts in fact they are damned. Its about learning and free thinking. And being in control of your path.
And since you used the particular term "devil ..." I will also assume you mean the Psuedo satanists. That have in fact came to being from the Christian Religion / Jew Programs. Well I don't really care what they are for them because in reality there a mentally unstable individual who needs psychiatric help.
But if your intrested in the Benevolent forms of satanism theres really two choices.
Atheistic
Anton LaVey's The Black Bible is his book
Theistic
theres some debate here but i prefer the JoyOfSatan.com (true to satanism and not having a book) and if your not interested that's fine.
Hi! The Satan are there Churches in all Christian Countries, because the Christ in Bible write "be you Wise as Leviathan" (Matthew 10:16), the Christ named Lucifer Morning Star (Apocalypse 22:16), the Satan is Anointed Cherub (hebrew bible - Ezekiel 28:14), the Anointed meaning Christ. The Greece is Country of Satanism, because the Hellas is from hebrew Hellel (Lucifer) but is not human sacrifice or other animals, present and future. The Greece is Peace Country between the all people, when all humans is friends with their adversaries (hebrew word Satan).

Does satanism believe in a afterlife?
Satanists do worship Satan, that’s the meaning of their name.. “SATANists“. ”It’s just a Christian myth” no it actually isn’t, if they don‘t believe in either or, God and His Son (Jesus) nor Satan, they would be Atheist. Even if they don’t believe in him they’re still being controlled by him, Satan really doesn‘t care if you believe in him or not! All he wants to do is to get rid of you, to win this fight between him and God, to get you “closer” to him, to make you be into drugs,p0rn,killing,stealing,etc. he wants to win the battle. but let me tell you something, God will always win. No matter what satan tries to do, God will always be the lead. You see, even Satan himself believes in our, Holy Father, God himself. Satan was an angel, a follower of God. He then became jealous and made his feelings take over him, so you can understand better, he wanted to grant more power than God. He wanted to be King! There was a battle in heaven. And who won? Yes, you guessed it right. God won! along with his fellow followers (true ones.), Satan and HIS followers came down from heavens gates, Satan is a fallen angel.
Baphomet is a symbol of the opposites. Day and Night, Good and Evil. A Human with the head of a Goat and scales of a fish, breasts of a woman and an erection of a male.
There are other interpretations. But do not take information at face value, verify your sources as Baphomet is an occult ideal figure. Check out Baphomet on Wikipedia.
Is satanism a religion or counterfeit faith?
- No. Satanists are a group who believe mostly in human nature. Contrary to popular belief, they do not worship Satan. They do not believe in Satan, heaven, hell, or God.
- This is the definition from Wikipedia in italics: Satanism is a term that refers to a number of related belief systems. Their commonality is that they all feature the symbolism of Satan (or similar figures) which originated as a challenging role within Judaism (in The Book of Job), and developed within Christian mythology into a cosmological adversary.There are two primary forms of Satanism; Theistic Satanism and LaVeyan Satanism. Theistic Satanists believe that Satan is a real being with existence, whom adherents venerate as a deity or entity with whom to cooperate. Some, though not all, theistic Satanists consider Satan to be benevolent. LaVeyan Satanism[1], in contrast, is atheistic. These latter Satanists believe that Satan is merely symbolic of humanity's carnal nature. Because some Satanists actively worship Satan, believing him to be a real deity, they could be viewed as being a Christian denomination[2].It is often the practice of any given Satanist not to refer to themselves with a hyphenated prefix. Each "type" of Satanist will usually refer to themselves only as "Satanist".
- Christian religion is the belief and worship of Christ, as the word implies. Therefore, Satanism is the belief and worship of Satan, the fallen angel. I disagree with Wiki's definition as since whoever wrote that part believes that Satan "to be a real deity, they could be viewed as being a Christian denomination". To be a Christian denomination, you must have Christ as your central point of worship. Point in case, Buddhist worship Buddha, Muslims worship Mohammed, etc., you get the picture.
- Satanism, by the aforementioned definition and most others, is the worship of Satan as a deity. Christians do not worship Satan or 'venerate [him] as a deity or entity with whom to cooperate'. Neither do Christians see Satan as benevolent. Therefore, Satanism would be hard pressed to fit into Christianity by that definition. As for LaVeyan Satanism, Christianity is not by definition 'atheistic', so Satanism certainly doesn't qualify under that definition either. A Satanist does not worship God or accept Christ as Saviour, two defining characteristics of Christianity. Satanism, therefore, is not a Christian religion. The point on which both camps would agree is that Satan is a valid being. However, believing in the existence of a being is not the same as adhering to the beliefs which define that religion.
Is TB Joshua a member of the church of Satan?
No. He is a Christian evangelical preacher from Nigeria, who claims he can heal people of their diseases by praying over them. While some people think he is trying to cheat people out of their money, others think he is very inspiring. But whether you agree with him or not, there is no evidence he worships Satan.
