Why Christians Should Avoid Reiki

Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" comes from two Japanese words:

• "Rei" meaning “universal”
• "Ki" meaning “life energy”

How It Works:

Practitioners believe that they can channel healing energy into a person by placing their hands lightly on or just above the body. The idea is that this energy promotes physical, emotional, and spiritual healing by balancing the body’s energy flow.

Key Features:

• Non-invasive and gentle
• Often used for stress reduction and relaxation
• Can be performed in person or "remotely" (distance Reiki)
• Practitioners undergo attunement from a Reiki master to learn the technique

Scientific Evidence:

While many people report feeling relaxed or comforted after Reiki sessions, scientific evidence of its effectiveness is limited and mixed. Some studies suggest benefits for stress and pain relief, but more rigorous research is needed.

Controversy:

Reiki is considered a pseudoscience by most in the medical and scientific communities because its mechanisms are not supported by scientific principles. However, it is sometimes used in hospitals and hospices as a complementary therapy.

From a biblical perspective, Reiki is considered spiritually dangerous and forbidden because it involves invoking and channeling an unknown "universal life force"—a concept that is not from God and contradicts Christian teachings.

A Clear Biblical Warning:

Deuteronomy 18:10–12 (ESV) says:

> “There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord.”

Reiki falls under the biblical category of mysticism, energy manipulation, and occult practices, which Scripture consistently warns against.

Why It’s Considered Dangerous:

Reiki bypasses God: It claims to heal or bring peace through impersonal “energy,” rather than through prayer, faith, or the power of the Holy Spirit.

Opens spiritual doors: Seeking healing from spiritual forces other than God can open a person to deception or demonic influence (2 Corinthians 11:14–15).

Substitutes God's power: It replaces the biblical view of God's sovereignty and the work of Christ with a man-made spiritual technique.

Key Verse:

Isaiah 8:19 (NIV):

> “When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists... Should not a people inquire of their God?

In short, Reiki promotes a spiritual system that is not rooted in Christ, and according to Scripture, any spiritual power apart from God is ultimately dangerous and deceptive.

🙏Here is a sincere and biblically grounded prayer of repentance and renunciation for anyone who has participated in Reiki or similar spiritual practices:

Prayer of Repentance and Renunciation from Reiki

Heavenly Father,

I come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, acknowledging that You alone are God—Creator, Sustainer, and the only true source of life and healing.

I confess that I have participated in practices such as Reiki, seeking healing and peace through spiritual sources that are not from You. I now recognize that this was a sin, and I deeply repent for opening myself to powers that oppose Your truth.

Forgive me, Lord, for placing trust in man-made systems and for seeking power, healing, or peace outside of Your will. Cleanse me with the blood of Jesus Christ and restore my heart to full fellowship with You.

In the authority of Jesus Christ, I renounce all involvement in Reiki and any other occult or New Age practices. I break every agreement, initiation, or spiritual tie I made through Reiki or with any spirit associated with it.

I command every unclean or deceptive spirit that entered my life through these practices to leave now in the name of Jesus Christ and never return. I dedicate my body, mind, and spirit to the Lord Jesus Christ alone.

Fill me, Holy Spirit, with Your presence, peace, and power. Teach me to trust in You fully and seek healing through prayer, Your Word, and the work of Your Spirit. Guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Thank You, Lord, for Your mercy, love, and power to set me free. I choose to follow You alone from this day forward.

In Jesus’ mighty name I pray,

Amen.

Pre-adamic Civilization

Biblical Evidence for Pre-Adamic Civilizations: A Study Guide

This guide explores the possibility of pre-Adamic civilizations and Earth history before the creation of Adam and Eve, based on select passages from the Bible. While Scripture does not make direct claims about such civilizations, some verses hint at an earlier world, possible judgments, and the fall of angelic beings.

1. Job 38:4–7 — Angels Witness the Earth’s Foundation

> "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? ... When the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"

The "sons of God" (bene Elohim), usually interpreted as angels, existed before Earth was completed.

Suggests that spiritual beings were present before Adam, possibly witnessing a prior world order.

2. Jeremiah 4:23–26 — A Desolate Earth with Destroyed Cities

> "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light... and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD."

Mirrors Genesis 1:2 in Hebrew phrase tohu va-bohu (formless and void).

Mentions destroyed cities despite "no man" being present, implying a judgment before Adam.

3. Genesis 1:1–2 — The Gap Theory

> "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty..."

The "Gap Theory" posits a temporal gap between verses 1 and 2.

The Hebrew word for "was" (hayetah) can be translated "became."

Implies a possible previous Earth ruined by judgment before the six-day re-creation.

4. Isaiah 14:12–17 — The Fall of Lucifer

> "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! ... You said, 'I will ascend into heaven... I will be like the Most High.'"

Describes Lucifer's rebellion and fall.

Could coincide with an earlier judgment that rendered Earth "formless and void."

5. Ezekiel 28:12–17 — The King of Tyre and Eden Imagery

> "You were in Eden, the garden of God... You were perfect in your ways... till iniquity was found in you."

Shifts from addressing a human king to describing a cherub in Eden.

Often interpreted as a depiction of Satan's fall.

Suggests spiritual history preceding Adam.

Conclusion: Hints, Not Dogma

These passages provide a theological basis for the idea of a pre-Adamic world or civilization.

They support the possibility of angelic activity and divine judgment on Earth prior to Adam.

Old Earth Creation models (like Dr. Hugh Ross's) incorporate these hints while remaining faithful to biblical inerrancy.

This study encourages open exploration of Scripture's depth and the possible history of the cosmos in light of God’s eternal plan.

For further study, consider cross-referencing these verses with historical theology, ancient Hebrew word studies, and Old Earth Creationist commentaries.

------------------------------------

Bible Study Lesson: Possible Pre-Adamic Civilizations in Scripture

I've added a structured Bible study lesson and a visual chart exploring possible pre-Adamic civilizations based on Scripture.

Objective: To explore biblical passages that suggest the possibility of pre-Adamic civilizations and how these ideas align with an Old Earth Creation model, such as that proposed by Dr. Hugh Ross.

I. Introduction to the Pre-Adamic Concept

The Bible does not explicitly mention civilizations before Adam and Eve, but several passages may hint at a created order before humanity’s appearance in Eden.

This view is compatible with Old Earth Creationism, which allows for an ancient Earth with events preceding the Genesis 1:2 re-creation of Earth.

II. Key Passages and Interpretations

1. Genesis 1:1–2

> "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep..."

Verse 1 may refer to the original creation.

Verse 2 describes the Earth in a chaotic, lifeless state—interpreted by some as the result of a judgment on a prior creation.

Hebrew word "tohu wa-bohu" (formless and void) used in other judgment contexts (see Jeremiah 4:23).

2. Jeremiah 4:23–26

> "I looked at the earth—it was formless and empty; and at the heavens, and their light was gone... all the cities were in ruins before the LORD, before his fierce anger."

Mirrors Genesis 1:2 language.

References to cities suggest a prior inhabited world.

Possibly a judgment on an earlier civilization distinct from Adam’s.

3. Job 38:4–7

> "Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?... while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?"

Angels existed before the Earth was fully formed.

Suggests activity and divine creation prior to Adamic humanity.

4. 2 Peter 3:5–6

> "...long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed... By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed."

Some interpret this as referring to a world that predated Noah—potentially pre-Adamic.

May imply a prior creation that was judged.

5. Ezekiel 28:13–17 (King of Tyre / Satan typology)

> "You were in Eden, the garden of God... You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you."

Many theologians see this as a double reference: both to the King of Tyre and to Satan.

Satan’s fall appears to precede Eden.

Possibly ties to a pre-Adamic time when Earth was a domain for angelic beings.

III. Old Earth Creation Context

Dr. Hugh Ross teaches that:

The universe is ~13.8 billion years old.

The Earth is ~4.5 billion years old.

Life arose in stages, with Adam and Eve being special creations relatively recently.

These passages support the idea of creation epochs or stages of divine activity before Eden.

IV. Visual Chart: Pre-Adamic Timeline Hypothesis

Stage Biblical Support Description

Initial Creation Genesis 1:1 God creates the heavens and the Earth

Destruction/Chaos Genesis 1:2, Jeremiah 4:23–26 Earth is "formless and void"; judged or ruined

Angelic Presence Job 38:4–7, Ezekiel 28:13–17 Angels present before Eden, possibly ruling

Re-creation Week Genesis 1:3–31 6 days of restoration; Adam and Eve created

Post-Fall History Genesis 3 onward Human history unfolds, judgment through Flood

V. Theological Reflection

Whether literal or symbolic, these passages give room to consider that God's creative work may involve more than one phase.

Supports the biblical idea that God has a redemptive plan extending across epochs.

Reinforces reverence for Scripture while harmonizing with scientific discoveries.

Conclusion:

While speculative, the concept of a pre-Adamic creation finds biblical hints that can support a robust theology of creation, judgment, and re-creation. This is consistent with Old Earth Creation models and enriches our understanding of God’s activity in the universe.

The world before Adam and Eve

Doctor Hugh Ross Old Earth and Ancient Civilizations

Is There Any Sign of Ancient Civilizations in Antarctica? A Biblical and Scientific Inquiry Through the Lens of Dr. Hugh Ross’s Old Earth Creation Model

It is my personal view that ancient civilizations may have existed in what is now Antarctica. While mainstream science strongly disputes this possibility, it is worth examining the arguments from both sides—particularly through the interpretive lens of Dr. Hugh Ross’s Old Earth Creation (OEC) model, which harmonizes the biblical creation account with established scientific findings.

The Conventional Scientific Position

Most modern scientists assert there is no credible evidence of ancient human civilizations in Antarctica. Their key points include:

1. Ice Coverage Timeline
   Antarctica has been encased in ice for approximately 34 million years, long before modern humans appeared (about 300,000 years ago). Given the continent's extreme cold and ice thickness, any past civilization would have been obliterated or buried beyond reach.

2. Geological and Satellite Research
   Extensive geological surveys, ice core sampling, and ground-penetrating radar have yielded no archaeological evidence of human settlement. Fossils found are of ancient flora and fauna from when the continent was temperate over 100 million years ago.

3. Rejection of Pseudoscience
   Theories involving hidden pyramids or lost cities in Antarctica—promoted in speculative media like Ancient Aliens—are generally dismissed by scholars as misinterpretations or fabrications.

An Old Earth Creationist Response: A Different Perspective

While young Earth creationists interpret Antarctica’s formation through a global flood model (Genesis 6–9), Dr. Hugh Ross and other Old Earth Creationists (OEC) accept the Earth’s great antiquity, affirming both biblical truth and modern science.

According to the OEC view:

• The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, and Antarctica’s current icy condition began about 34 million years ago, aligning with paleoclimate studies.
• Genesis 1:2 describes the early Earth as “formless and void,” suggesting a planet that was not initially habitable—a view compatible with an ancient, evolving Earth shaped over eons.
• The Hebrew word “yom” (day) in Genesis 1 is best understood contextually as long epochs (Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8), not literal 24-hour days. Dr. Ross argues that the biblical days of creation represent extended periods during which God prepared the Earth for life.

Theological Support for an Ancient Earth

1. Genesis 1 and the Order of Creation
   The biblical sequence of creation mirrors the scientific record: light, atmosphere, land, plants, sea life, birds, mammals, and finally humans. This harmony suggests the Bible anticipates scientific discovery, supporting a model where God progressively shaped life.

2. Psalm 19:1–4 & Romans 1:20
   Scripture affirms that God’s creation declares His glory and reveals His nature. OEC interprets scientific evidence—cosmology, geology, and biology—as part of God’s general revelation.

3. The Flood: Local or Global?
   Ross argues the Genesis Flood (Genesis 6–9) was universal in judgment but geographically limited, likely centered in Mesopotamia. The Hebrew term “kol erets” (“whole Earth”) is often used to refer to a region, not the entire globe (e.g., Genesis 41:57).

Examining Fossils and Geological Evidence

Contrary to young Earth views, OEC does not reject the vast age of Earth’s layers or fossil record. However, it agrees that some features suggest rapid burial events, possibly due to localized catastrophes.

• Fossils Found Across Strata
  While some fossils cross multiple sediment layers (polystrate fossils), OEC holds that localized, high-energy events—volcanic eruptions or floods—can explain these phenomena without requiring a global deluge.

• Soft Tissue in Dinosaur Fossils
  Reports of soft tissue in dinosaur bones (e.g., Dr. Mary Schweitzer’s findings) raise questions, but Ross suggests that rare conditions may preserve tissue for millions of years without overturning the entire geological timeline.

• Upright Fossil Trees (Polystrate Fossils)
  These can result from sudden, regional sedimentation—again, consistent with ancient Earth models that accept rapid, not necessarily global, geological processes.

A Biblical and Scientific Harmony

Dr. Ross’s Progressive Creation Model asserts that God’s creative work unfolded over long epochs, with divine intervention at key junctures. This view:

• Upholds biblical authority while affirming modern astronomy and geology.
• Accepts the Big Bang as evidence for “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).
• Views nature as the “67th book of the Bible,” declaring God’s glory (Psalm 19:1).

Final Thoughts: Could Civilization Have Once Existed in Antarctica?

While there is currently no scientific evidence for human civilization beneath Antarctica’s ice, an Old Earth Creationist model remains open to the possibility of unknown pre-Adamic civilizations or advanced animal species inhabiting now-lost temperate zones. Genesis does not preclude such a history, and OEC encourages exploration without compromising Scripture.

Yes, there are indeed several passages—especially in Job, Jeremiah, and Genesis—that some scholars and theologians (including some Old Earth Creationists) interpret as hints of a pre-Adamic world. While the Bible doesn’t explicitly teach the existence of pre-Adamic civilizations, these verses suggest a possible history on Earth before Adam, particularly if one allows for long ages and a gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 (often called the Gap Theory or Restoration View).

Here are key passages that support the idea of a world or judgment before Adam:

---

1. Job 38:4–7 — Angels Rejoiced Before Humanity Existed

“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? ... When the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?”

• Interpretation: The "sons of God" (bene Elohim) are typically interpreted as angels (see Job 1:6).
• These spiritual beings existed before Adam and even before Earth's foundation was completed.
• Some theologians propose that there may have been an earlier order of creation (possibly involving non-human intelligent life) that predated Adam.

---

2. Jeremiah 4:23–26 — A Desolate Earth Judged by God

“I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD…”

• This passage echoes the language of Genesis 1:2 ("formless and void" = tohu va-bohu in Hebrew).
• Yet it also refers to cities being destroyed, which did not exist yet in Genesis 1:2.
• Some see this as a reference to a previous judgment on a world before Adam, possibly including a civilization wiped out before the re-creation in Genesis.

---

3. Genesis 1:1–2 — A Possible Gap

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty..."

• The “Gap Theory” suggests that Genesis 1:1 describes an original creation, and 1:2 begins a reconstruction after some catastrophic judgment.
• The Hebrew word translated “was” in “the earth was formless and void” (hayetah) can also mean “became,” implying a transition from a previous state.
• This interpretation allows for long epochs, possible pre-Adamic events, and even the fall of Lucifer before Adam (see Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28).

---

4. Isaiah 14:12–17 — The Fall of Lucifer

“How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!... For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven... I will be like the Most High.’ Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol...”

• Lucifer’s rebellion predates Adam, and his fall may have triggered judgment on Earth, causing the desolation described in Genesis 1:2 and Jeremiah 4.
• This supports the idea that Earth experienced spiritual and possibly physical upheaval before Adam was created.

---

5. Ezekiel 28:12–17 — The King of Tyre and Pre-Adamic Imagery

“You were in Eden, the garden of God... You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you.”

• This passage, while addressing the King of Tyre, quickly shifts to describing a cherubic being, often interpreted as Satan.
• The mention of Eden and a fall before Adam’s sin has led some to theorize about angelic governance of Earth in a pre-Adamic age.

---

Conclusion: Biblical Hints, Not Certainties

While the Bible does not explicitly affirm pre-Adamic civilizations, certain verses suggest:

• Earth may have had a history before Adam.
• A prior judgment may have occurred (possibly due to Satan’s fall).
• The desolation in Genesis 1:2 may reflect the aftermath of that judgment.
• The reordering of Earth during the six creation “days” could be God’s restoration.

This perspective aligns well with Dr. Hugh Ross’s Old Earth Creation model, which does not require young Earth timelines or global flood geology, and instead proposes long ages of preparation and divine intervention leading up to the special creation of humanity.

As Job 12:7–10 reminds us, “Ask the animals, and they will teach you... or speak to the earth, and it will teach you.” The Earth speaks volumes about its history, and Dr. Ross’s approach helps us listen—scientifically and biblically.

Mark Carney and the Threat to Free Speech in Canada

🇨🇦 Mark Carney and the Threat to Free Speech in Canada

Mark Carney's support for increased regulation and oversight of social media platforms like Facebook is viewed by many conservatives and free speech advocates as a critical threat to freedom of expression in Canada. Here's why:

1. Globalist Control Over Public Discourse

Mark Carney is closely aligned with international regulatory bodies and globalist institutions such as the World Economic Forum (WEF), which advocate for strict control of online "disinformation." While this is often framed as a way to protect the public from harmful content, it frequently leads to centralized control over acceptable speech. Dissenting or unpopular views—particularly those challenging elite narratives on climate change, immigration, gender ideology, or public health—are often the first to be silenced.

2. A Pattern of Technocratic Overreach

Carney's background as a central banker and climate finance advisor shows a clear preference for top-down governance, where unelected experts shape policy. Applying this approach to social media risks transforming platforms into sanitized echo chambers governed by bureaucratic regulators and corporate allies.

3. Chilling Effect on Political Speech

Political leaders who advocate "cracking down" on certain speech risk introducing subjective standards of what constitutes "hate speech," "disinformation," or "harmful" content. In practice, conservative viewpoints are disproportionately censored, shadow-banned, or removed, while progressive messaging remains untouched. Carney's regulatory stance signals a willingness to politicize censorship.

4. Undermining Canadian Charter Rights

Section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects freedom of expression. Government-imposed or encouraged censorship—whether direct or indirect—undermines this right. Carney’s support for regulatory crackdowns aligns with controversial legislation like Bill C-11 and C-18, which critics say hand excessive power to unelected bureaucrats over what Canadians can see and say online.

5. Precedent for Authoritarianism

Once a government begins defining “acceptable speech,” the line continues to shift. Today it may be misinformation—tomorrow, criticism of government policy, religious beliefs, or traditional values. Carney’s push for censorship creates a dangerous precedent that threatens open democracy.

✨ Conclusion: A Threat to a Free Society

Carney’s stance on social media regulation is more than a policy difference—it represents a threat to democracy itself. A free society cannot thrive without free speech. His technocratic, globalist approach could silence legitimate voices under the guise of “safety” and “truth.”

🇬🇧 Controversies During Carney's Tenure in the UK

1. Accusations of Groupthink and Policy Missteps

As Governor of the Bank of England, Carney faced criticism for fostering a culture of "groupthink," leading to decisions that some believe hindered productivity and compromised the Bank's independence.  Economist Andrew Sentance highlighted concerns about the Bank becoming "timid" under Carney's leadership.

2. Handling of the Help to Buy Scheme

Carney's oversight of the UK's Help to Buy program, aimed at stimulating the housing market, was contentious.  He acknowledged the scheme's potential to inflate housing prices but lacked the authority to veto it, raising questions about his influence over policies that could destabilize the economy.

3. Brexit Predictions and Economic Forecasts

Carney's forecasts about the economic fallout from Brexit were met with skepticism.  His warnings of a potential recession post-Brexit were viewed by some as politically charged and ultimately did not materialize as predicted, leading to doubts about his impartiality and judgment.

🇨🇦 Concerns Regarding Carney's Policies in Canada

1. Environmental Initiatives and Economic Implications

Carney's advocacy for environmental policies, such as the carbon tax, faced backlash in Canada.  Despite intentions to reduce emissions, the tax was unpopular and eventually scrapped due to political pressure and public dissatisfaction.

2. Perceived Disconnect with Canadian Economic Realities

Critics argue that Carney's globalist perspective may not align with Canada's economic needs.  His emphasis on international agreements and environmental goals is seen by some as neglecting domestic issues like housing affordability and energy sector challenges.

🧭 Globalist Orientation and National Interests

Carney's extensive involvement in international financial institutions and climate-focused organizations has led to perceptions of him prioritizing global agendas over national interests.  His leadership roles in entities like the Bank of England and environmental finance groups suggest a commitment to globalist policies, which some fear may come at the expense of Canada's economic autonomy.

⚠️ Conclusion: Evaluating Carney's Impact on Canada's Economy

While Mark Carney brings a wealth of international experience, his track record raises questions about his suitability to address Canada's unique economic challenges.  Critics contend that his globalist approach may not adequately prioritize national interests, potentially posing risks to Canada's economic stability and sovereignty.

Mark Carney is a globalist. 

When I ask people or tell them anything about #globalism they look at me with their head turned sideways like they've never heard the term before. Most people don't even know what is going on in the world or have any glimpse of the broader picture and threat that globalism is to their national sovereignty and freedom.

Alex Jones defines globalism and the New World Order (#NWO) as part of a coordinated agenda by powerful bureaucratic elites to centralize global control, often through supranational institutions like the United Nations, World Economic Forum, or multinational corporations. His views combine political, economic, and conspiratorial elements. Here's a breakdown:

Alex Jones's Definition of Globalism:

Jones sees globalism as:

The elimination of national sovereignty in favor of a one-world government.

Rule by unelected technocrats and corporate elites, not democratic institutions.

A system designed to undermine traditional values, borders, and individual freedoms.

A tool for population control, surveillance, and the erosion of constitutional rights.

He frequently ties globalism to efforts like:

The European Union (as a prototype of world government),

#Climatechangehoax policy (used to justify global control),

Central banks (as tools of economic manipulation)

Alex Jones's Definition of the New World Order (NWO):

The New World Order, according to Jones, is:

A long-standing plan by global elites to create a centralized authoritarian world government.

Involves control over every aspect of life—economic, political, religious, and technological

Orchestrated through false-flag events, economic crises, pandemics, and other engineered emergencies.

Promoted by secretive groups like the Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, and sometimes the WEF.

Key Themes in Jones's Narrative:

"#GreatReset" is often cited as a modern push toward the NWO.

Globalism vs. Nationalism: Jones positions himself as defending national sovereignty against global tyranny.

Technocratic Control: Use of AI, digital ID, and social credit systems as tools of oppression.

#Technocrats

Mark Carney & Free Speech

All in all, all you are is just another brick in the wall.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government implemented the Online News Act (Bill C-18) in June 2023. This legislation mandates that major digital platforms, such as Meta (which owns Facebook and Instagram) and Google, compensate Canadian news organizations when their content is shared on these platforms. The intent behind the law is to support Canada's struggling news industry by ensuring fair compensation for journalistic content .

In response, Meta began blocking all news content for Canadian users on Facebook and Instagram starting in August 2023, rather than complying with the payment requirements. This action led to a significant decline in traffic to Canadian news outlets, particularly affecting smaller and local publishers .

Critics, including Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, have labeled the Online News Act as a form of censorship, arguing that it restricts Canadians' access to news on social media platforms . However, the Trudeau government maintains that the legislation is designed to promote fairness in the digital news marketplace and to support the sustainability of Canadian journalism. 

As of May 2025, Meta's news ban remains in effect, and the debate over the balance between platform regulation and freedom of information continues in Canada.

Metallica is Satanic

Metallica is Satanic.

These disciples of Satan hail him at every turn with every mocking lyric against Christianity.

Stop listening to this heavy metal rock group, because you are channeling demonic anti-Christian spirits into your life by doing so.

Listening to heavy metal music with dark, aggressive, or explicitly anti-spiritual themes can have a deeply negative influence on your emotional, mental, and even spiritual well-being. When a person immerses themselves in music that promotes despair, hatred, rebellion, or darkness, they can begin to internalize those messages, even subconsciously. Over time, this exposure may contribute to feelings of heaviness, emotional instability, anxiety, and confusion.

The atmosphere created by such music can open the door to a mindset of hopelessness and emotional oppression. It can make it harder to experience peace, joy, and clarity. Repeated exposure can create a sort of mental and emotional environment that invites negativity—drawing in people, behaviors, and attitudes that reinforce the same darkness being consumed.

This isn’t just about the music itself, but the overall lifestyle and mindset that can grow from aligning with such energies. It can act like a magnet for unhealthy habits, toxic relationships, and emotional burdens that become difficult to break free from. Over time, these influences can form strongholds in one’s life—patterns of thought and behavior that feel inescapable and feed into cycles of depression, isolation, or destructive choices.

By being mindful of what we consume, including the music we listen to, we protect our emotional and spiritual health. Choosing uplifting, positive, and life-affirming music can help cultivate a sense of peace, clarity, and strength—supporting personal growth and inner freedom.

Here is a Christian worldview analysis of Metallica's "Enter Sandman", exploring how the song may be perceived as Christian-phobic, blasphemous, or spiritually dark by those holding to biblical values.

---

Overview

"Enter Sandman" is framed as a heavy metal song that blends lullaby-style innocence with nightmare-inducing fear. At first glance, it may seem like a poetic take on childhood nightmares. But a deeper Christian analysis reveals troubling themes: distortion of sacred prayers, spiritual manipulation, and glorification of fear and darkness. These elements can be seen as mocking or perverting aspects of the Christian faith.

---

LYRICAL ANALYSIS FROM A CHRISTIAN WORLDVIEW

Verse 1

"Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
'Til the Sandman he comes"

Analysis:
These lines mimic the language of Christian parenting—saying prayers, protection from sin. However, the introduction of the Sandman as a guardian figure is the first subversion. In Christian teaching, only God can keep someone free from sin through Christ (Romans 6:23). Suggesting a mythical, shadowy figure takes over this role replaces God with a demonic substitute, which borders on idolatry and blasphemy.

---

Chorus

"Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land"

Analysis:
This represents a spiritual inversion. “Exit light” and “enter night” symbolize a rejection of Christ, the Light of the World (John 8:12), and an embrace of darkness—often associated in Scripture with sin, death, and Satan (Ephesians 5:11). “Never-never land” might sound like fantasy, but here it’s portrayed as a place led by darkness and nightmares, not innocence.

---

Verse 2

"Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite, yeah"

Analysis:
The child’s dreams are corrupted—“not of Snow White” but of war, lies, and hellish imagery (“dragon's fire,” symbolic of Satan in Revelation 12:9). This reflects the distortion of innocence, a consequence of exposure to evil. The idea that such thoughts are normal or inevitable opposes the biblical view of guarding the mind and heart (Philippians 4:8).

---

Bridge – Twisted Bedtime Prayer

"Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take"

Analysis:
This is a real Christian children’s prayer, but in the song, it's embedded within a context of fear and nightmares, reducing it to a mockery. Rather than a sincere plea for God’s protection, it becomes a backdrop to horror, possibly suggesting that even prayer can’t stop the onslaught of darkness—undermining faith.

---

Whispered Line

*"Hush little baby, don’t say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It’s just the beasts under your bed
In your closet

My Grace Is Sufficient

"My Grace Is Sufficient for You"

When God calls you, He equips you. Everything you need to fulfill your calling has already been placed inside you by the One who created you. You don’t have to see yourself as incapable or unqualified. Instead, see yourself as empowered and chosen by God.

1. God's grace is enough for your journey.

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me."

— 2 Corinthians 12:9

2. You are equipped for your calling.

"Now may the God of peace... equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ."

— Hebrews 13:20–21

3. God doesn't make mistakes.

"For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."

— Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

4. Many in Scripture felt unqualified, but God used them powerfully.

ENM POLY?!

ENM POLY?!

There's nothing ETHICAL about a NON MONOGAMOUS POLY MARRIAGE - it's called ADULTERY!

ENM (Ethical Non-Monogamy) and polyamory are modern terms often used to rebrand and justify relationships that fall outside the biblical standard of lifelong, exclusive marriage between one man and one woman. While they may be framed as consensual and honest alternatives to traditional relationships, from a Christian perspective, these practices can be seen as attempts to normalize and sanitize what the Bible clearly identifies as sexual immorality and adultery. By using terms like "ethical" or "loving" to describe multiple romantic or sexual partners, society seeks to remove the moral weight of sin, replacing it with personal freedom and self-gratification—hallmarks of a hedonistic culture that prioritizes pleasure over holiness.

I don't care what you want to call it, it's sin!

Several celebrities have publicly identified as being in ENM (Ethical Non-Monogamy) or polyamorous relationships. Here are some well-known figures:

1. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith – While they have not used the term "polyamorous," they have spoken openly about having a non-traditional marriage, with periods of openness and mutual understanding about non-monogamy.

2. Shailene Woodley – The actress has discussed being open to non-monogamous relationships and not believing that one person can meet all needs in every season of life.

3. Tessa Thompson – She has expressed support for non-monogamous relationships and the idea of love not being confined to traditional norms.

4. Willow Smith – She has openly identified as polyamorous, stating her belief in the freedom to love more than one person in a committed and honest way.

5. Mo’Nique – The comedian and actress has talked about being in an open marriage with her husband, emphasizing honesty and mutual consent.

6. Bella Thorne – She has publicly shared her experiences in polyamorous relationships and her support for alternative relationship structures.

7. Ezra Miller – The actor has been associated with non-traditional, polyamorous relationships and has spoken about living outside societal norms regarding gender and love.

Definitions

Ethical non-monogamy (ENM) is a broad term that encompasses any relationship where individuals are romantically or sexually involved with more than one person, with the understanding and consent of all parties. It's characterized by open communication, mutual respect, and a commitment to ethical behavior within the relationship structure. 

Polyamory is a specific type of ENM where all partners have a romantic and sexual relationship with each other. It's characterized by building and nurturing multiple loving relationships. 

In essence, "ENM poly" highlights the diversity of ENM relationships, with polyamory being one specific type within the broader umbrella of ethical non-monogamy. 

Here are several key Bible verses about adultery, drawn from both the Old and New Testaments:

Old Testament

1. Exodus 20:14 – “You shall not commit adultery.”

(One of the Ten Commandments.)

2. Leviticus 20:10 – “If a man commits adultery with another man's wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death.”

3. Proverbs 6:32 – “But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself.”

4. Proverbs 6:27-29 – “Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?... So is he who sleeps with another man's wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.”

New Testament

5. Matthew 5:27-28 – “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”

6. Hebrews 13:4 – “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.”

7. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – “Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God?... neither the sexually immoral nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men... will inherit the kingdom of God.”

8. John 8:3-11 – (The story of the woman caught in adultery. Jesus shows mercy but also tells her, “Go now and leave your life of sin.”)

Here is a Christian prayer of repentance that acknowledges the sin of adultery as described in Scripture, even when disguised by modern terminology like ENM (Ethical Non-Monogamy) and polyamry.

A Prayer of Repentance from Adultery and Rededication to Holiness in Marriage

Heavenly Father,

I come before You in humility and brokenness of heart, acknowledging my sin and rebellion against Your holy standard. Lord, You are pure, faithful, and just. Your Word declares that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, a reflection of Christ’s love for His Church. Yet I confess that I have strayed from Your truth.

I have allowed myself to be influenced by the deceptive language of this age—terms like "ethical non-monogamy" and "polyamory" that seek to justify what Your Word clearly calls adultery. I confess that I have sinned. I have broken covenant. I have defiled the sacredness of marriage and pursued my own desires above Your will.

Lord, I repent. I renounce the lies of the enemy and the justifications of the world. I see now that there is no “ethical” way to violate Your commandments. What You have called sin, no human language or cultural shift can make righteous. You have said, "You shall not commit adultery" (Exodus 20:14), and I have transgressed.

Forgive me, O God. Wash me clean by the blood of Jesus Christ. Create in me a clean heart, O Lord, and renew a right spirit within me. Restore what I have broken, and teach me to walk in faithfulness, purity, and holiness.

I rededicate my heart, my body, and my relationships to You. If I am married, I commit to honoring and loving my spouse in covenant faithfulness, forsaking all others.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen!
