christians is this statement true?

Question

that satan is the best friend the church ever had he is the one who keeps it in buisness?

Answer 1

Yes, and LaVey had a very true point when he said that.

By preaching fire, brimstone, death, violence, hate, and anger, preists are able to keep bodies in the pews to hear their horror storries, Satan is like the boogy-man for Adults.

I myself am a LaVeyan Satanist, by your symbol, and your question I can tell you probably view yourself as a Satanist, whether you're truly a Satanist or not I cannot decypher yet.

This is my take on my beliefs. http://www.freewebs.com/satanismexplanation/

Answer 2

Yes. Considering that The Church created Satan in the first place to scare the crap out the the dumb and uneducated, that's a pretty fair assumption.

Answer 3

PLEASE FOR GIVE ME. BUT HELL NO. Satan form time have not kept anything in business God gave Satan ever thing he needed but he wanted to be Above GOD so GOD sent satan on earth and that when he went out of business. THINK ABOUT IT. satan is out of a job. it may look like he is in business but you can see the signs and it say satan is gone out of business. JESUS IS IN BUSINESS AND HE IS HE THE CHURCH AND IN OUR HEART. SATAN HAVE A JOB TO DO ON EARTH BUT IT ALMOST OVER BECAUSE JESUS WILL TAKE THAT LITTLE BUSINESS HE THINK HE HAVE IN THE CHURCH BUT IT WILL BE OVER VERY SOON. SATAN HAVE HURT GOD PEOPLE FORM BEGANING FORM TIME BUT IT OVER.

Answer 4

there are two churches.
The external one and the internal one.
The external one was never the real church.
The internal one is the real one.
The kingdom of God is within you.
It doesn't say that it is without you.
Where is belief?
It is within.
What is the basis of salvation?
It is belief.
External worship is a set of rules, regulations, laws, rituals--bull crap.
It can be manipulated and has been throughout the ages.
I hope this answered your question in a different way.

Answer 5

ugh@ the unoriginal quote DIRECTLY from the satanic "bible." yeah.... the same as how the police consider the most hard-core criminals their "friends."

It's funny that the devil's work not only is ineffective, but it actually benefit's God and his people; the devil killed Christ, thought he accomplished something. But really that act ended up saving the very humans he wants to kill!! And the devil is still going to hell. so sad.....

Answer 6

Yeap, that would be true. Just like porn is the churches best friend in that they both help to keep our freedom of speech.

Answer 7

No that is an untrue statement but thank you for asking. Is the Archangel Michael your best friend for casting your lord out and giving you someone to worship that is the opposite of good? It is only fair to ask. But anyway thank you for thinking you are our friend. I guess it is the thought that counts.

Answer 8

Well, i am a wiccan, you asked Christians, and you are a Satanist, given your icon (the inverted pentagram)

I wouldnt say "best friend" because obviously, they are enemies.

But i can see the point that without the threat of evil, it would have nothing, because people wouldnt see the need.

Answer 9

no and yes. He is the best friend of the "church as business" and the worst enemy of the "Church as the bride of Christ"

Answer 10

That's like saying Hitler was the best friend the Jewish people ever had. I don't think that someone whose sole goals are to steal, kill, and destroy is much of a "friend."

Jesus is the church's best Friend, not the devil.
