The Blackman’s Guide To Breaking The Spell of Christian Spookism

I want to discuss a few bible verses for my friends who are still effected by Christian Spookism. I believe Christian Spookism to be defined as; a belief in spiritual monsters sometimes labeled devils and demons, who have the power to control a person, and can be spiritually posses in or exorcised out of ones carnate, with traditional and non-christian practice and ritual. That I believe is Christian Spookism.

The definition of Spook is “a ghost”. This is how the term spook became related to “a secret agent”. Spook as a verb means “to be frightened”, then Spookism the term entails the fearful and the frightened pertaining to “Ghost”, which are the devils and demons I described above. NO disrespect to anyones principle but linguistically “The fear of God” falls under spookism.

Please notice the descriptive terms used in the following verse;

Num 22:22 “And God’s anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him…..”

I noticed “anger”, and  “adversary” is also being used adjectivally. Keep this in mind later;  if adversary is being used to describe the way “The Angel of the LORD” stood in Balaam’s way, then the Adversary here in Numbers 22: 22 is not a separate being Satan, instead The Angel of The Lord is standing in Balaam’s way as an adversary/Satan.

Reading the Masoretic Text we come to a different understanding of the statement;

“and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him…..”

First, The “angel” from “The Angel of the Lord” in the Masoretic text is Strong’s H4397 – mal’ak- “messenger, angel”.  So the Mal’ak of the lord, stood in the way as an “adversary”, against Balaam. Since a message was being delivered to Balaam, one can presume that “messenger” is an adequate translation of Mal’ak.

The word adversary here is Strong’s H7854 – “satan”.

So Satan is an adversary, that The Messenger of The LORD stood in Balaam’s path as.

If we Look at  1Chronicles 21:1 we see:

“1And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.”

we find this Satan who stood against Israel is the same Strong’s H7854 – Adversary/Satan who is called “The Mal’ak of The Lord” in Num 22:22.

So we can presume an adversary stood up against Israel in ICh 21:1, not a monster type spooky “Satan”.

We can be clear then, it is hidden in the translations of the KJV that at one point the adversary was actually The Angel Of The Lord who Yahweh used as a mal’ak, a messenger/angel. Later in the Bible Satan takes on a persona, after which “Satan” is used as a personal noun for a character who is the eternal adversary. Satan originally was just an adversary, any adversary that opposed ones life.
The typical “and angel who fell from grace” or “the serpent” bible commentary is inadequate here. If Satan is also the serpent from Genesis/ then there was never anytime for “the serpent” to fall from grace. When was Satan graceful? Genesis is the beginning. “The term “fallen angel” is not in the Masoretic Text nor the Deuterocanonical Books nor the New Testament”(Wiki paraphrased). The sons of God who came to earth in Gen 6:1 had not fallen from anything nor were they angels. No angel FELL in the scripture, ever. Angels were thrown from heaven(We will discuss Isiah  14:12 and Revelations in a moment). IN Luke 10:18 Satan fell from Heaven, but as we see, there is a discrepancy between biblical authors, some write Satan to mean an Adversary, others write Satan as a character who represents an Adversary, but no where bwsides in biblical commentary does it say Satan was an angel, unless one says The Mal’ak of The Lord was Satan, which it is not.

Luk 10:18 “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven”

It doesn’t say Satan was an angel. Biblical commentators like to quote Eze 28:14 for this but The Mountain of God is not Heaven, and Ezekiel never said Satan.

Next,  Job 1:7 employs  Strong’s H7854 – Satan. So it’s hard for one to act like Satan just means “an adversary” when Satan is clearly a character with enough power to evade gods supreme vision, and flaunt his domain over earth to God. Satan is an adversary, yet by the time of Job Satan is character who can speak, according to the Book of Job;

Job 1:7 “And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”

There are two points to that verse. First, The Supreme GOD Yahweh did not know were Satan was (e.g. “Whence comest thou?”). Second, that Satan was apparently bold enough to tell God “From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”…… That is very bold to say to the Supreme Being.

The reason I say “don’t reply with the typical biblical commentary” is because people say Satan was Lucifer and Lucifer is the Devil and The Devil is the Serpent, but that all appears to be incorrect. First, the KJV or Masoretic Text never says this. This is the only time Lucifer is mention in the Bible;

Isa 14:12 “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!”

I said NO Angels have fallen from Heaven because Satan was not an angel nor was Lucifer. (I know some peoples religious spookism is kicking in right now, this is because we have been trained to act in fear when we hear key words that we were told were “evil”).

Isiah 14:12 used Strong’s H1966 – “heylel” not Lucifer.

Strong offers Satan for a definition of Heylel but we can see he is just agreeing with biblical tradition in this case because one cannot do etymology forwards, Hebrew came before Latin and Old English, so when people were saying “Heylel” in Hebrew, they could not have meant “lucifer” in Old English or Latin. Again, the term and concept of “lucifer” comes with Old English and Latin hundreds of years later.  Coming to this understanding requires an elementary comprehension and for one to realize he has to defer from that and go on to Strong’s second Definition “Morning Star/ Light Bearer”.  Now Isiah 14:12 makes more since doesn’t it?

Isa 14:12 “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer[light bearer/ Morning Star], son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!”

Now someone needs to explain how Jesus was also called the Morning Star?

Revelation 22:16 “It is I, Jesus, who sent My angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”

So now, as we know him, as we were taught; there was NO DAMN LUCIFER. NO LUCIFER! That’s is spookism. Also Jesus and Satan shared the epithet, The Morning Star. What is up with that? Again, remember the word in the KJV “lucifer” is an Old English word. This means in biblical times there was NO ONE who walked around teaching about a spooky pitch fork bearing spiritual monster called Lucifer. Let me show how Lucifer being Satan is an old English concept;

“Old English Lucifer “Satan,” also “morning star,” from Latin Lucifer “morning star,” literally “light-bringing,” from lux (genitive lucis) “light” (see light (n.)) + ferre “carry” (see infer) ” Online Etymology Dictionary

They said FROM latin “morning star,” literally “light-bringing. It also said for the “fer” in Lucifer, see “Infer”. Lets see;

“infer (v.) Look up infer at Dictionary.com

1520s, from Latin inferre “bring into, carry in; deduce, infer, conclude, draw an inference; bring against,” from in- “in” (see in- (2)) + ferre “carry, bear,” from PIE *bher- (1) “to bear, to carry, to take” (cf. Sanskrit bharati “carries;” Avestan baraiti “carries;” Old Persian barantiy “they carry;” Armenian berem “I carry;” Greek pherein “to carry;” Old Irish beru/berim “I catch, I bring forth;” Gothic bairan “to carry;” Old English and Old High German beran, Old Norse bera “barrow;” Old Church Slavonic birati “to take;” Russian brat’ “to take,” bremya “a burden”). Sense of “draw a conclusion” is first attested 1520s.”

So no spook spells can effect you now. You have been cured. Say Amen!

Note these things;

1. Lucifer comes from Lux-fer which mean Light bringer/carrier.

2.The word Lucifer is old English from Latin. Lucifer is not an African or ancient concept.

3.The concept of Lucifer being Satan is a Old English one. It is not in the Masoretic Text, the KJV or any canonical text. If you spend time on this thought, you will resolve that some Old English theologian, possibility one of King James translators, decided that “Bringing Light” was an “Adversary” to them, and as a result the people were left in darkness adhering to phony spiritual concepts rendering those people spiritually useless.

The term Devil occurs 61 times in 57 verses in the KJV, and that is not Satan. The Devil is Diablios and is a Greek concept. It was not a monster nor a spirit nor ghost, is was a person who made false accusations. A LIAR. Notice this,

John 8:44 “You are of your father the Devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning”

“Strong’s G1228 – diabolos; prone to slander, slanderous, accusing falsely. a calumniator, false accuser, slanderer,

metaph. applied to a man who, by opposing the cause of God, may be said to act the part of the devil or to side with him”

According to John the devil was murderer from the beginning, then something is wrong because The Serpent did not murder anyone in the beginning, or ever. The “Devil’s” first appearance was Matthew 4:1, and he did not kill in that verse.

The devil is not in the Old Testament. The devil ain’t Satan nor the serpent and was not interpreted this way until the New Testament. Why is this? Because authors like John wanted to consolidate the gospels in their gospels, like Revelations, coming with lyrics like;

“Revelation 12:9
So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”

You see John also mentioned “A great Dragon”. I would say Satan, The Devil and The Serpent should be looked at the same way we look at  “The Great Dragon”.

John The Apostle (or John of Patmos) tried to mix Isiah’s Lucifer, with Matthew’s Diablos, and Moses’s Serpent also Moses’s adversary-Satan, into one being. We have learned that any bible book referring to “scripture” cannot be considered “scripture”, because it cannot be referring it’s own text. So then revelations is not even “scripture”, it is a Revelation. We learn doing the historiography of the bible that as new writers wrote their gospels, they added the attributes of the previous mischievous demon to their story and demon.  Revelations was last so all of the bad deities from other gospels were amalgamated into one, By John, in Revelations. That is merely “John’s Gospel”.

I don’t mean to say this document “The Blackman’s Guide To Breaking The Spell Of Christian” works like a manual, I assert to give example of the results one can render using the proper tools for the study as spiritual study also requires proper methodology. Belief is always inadequate.  IF you can make one say they “Believe” you have just made them admit they don’t “know”, ’cause knowledge and belief are mutually exclusive. You cannot believe what you know, nor can you know what you believe.  Is that confusing? Ok, do you know I wrote this document or do you believe it? Do you know your alive, as we define life? You know that for sure right? You sure you don’t just believe that your alive? You are positive that by our definition you are alive correct? well then. You cannot know what you believe, vice versa.  We also confuse faith for believe and hope for faith etc. These are different terms for a reason. Believe, Hope and Faith are all inferior to Knowledge. The only one of these attributes that appears to effect Knowledge is Hope; ones hope to receive a different fate once knowledge of ones fate is revealed to be negative or what have you, in reality this does not effect the foretold knowledge, is just offers the hoper a psychosis of an altered reality that he must Will into existence to avoid the negative fate. This is the power of imagination, the hoper must first form an image in his mind, and in this image the hoper can picture and alter his fate by employing Will, Wisdom and Activity.

Faith is only confidence in ones belief, so if ones belief is flawed then being faithful is actual being foolish.
