STEEMCHURCH: Carnivals / "Meat for Baal"

Hello friends and brothers in Christ, today I bring you a subject of much controversy and that is being practiced by many. We are nobody to judge any person, but nevertheless, we who are children of God, we must take the teaching of the word of God (Bible), to those who ignore them.

Hosea. 4:6

My village is destroyed due to lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you so that you are not my priest; As you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.

With this post what I'm looking for is to inform about the origin of this festive practice and its powerful spiritual influence, especially in our children and youth.

The true spiritual meaning of Carnival is "Meat for Baal" since this expression perfectly defines what is done in these festivities. ** Baal ** is one of the names that Satan receives in different cultures. Thus Baal was the god in ancient Canaan and Phenicia. It reflects, for example, the ceremonies that the Canaanites did in honor of this god. They worshiped him with holocausts of animals and people, preferably babies.

Deuteronomy 18: 9-12
Admonition against pagan customs

9 When you enter the land that Jehovah your God gives you, you will not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.
10 Let no man be found among you who causes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, nor any who practices divination, nor doomsayer, nor sorcerer, nor sorcerer,
11 nor charming, nor fortune teller, nor magician, nor who consult the dead.
12 For anyone who does these things is an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations Jehovah your God kills these nations from before you.

1 Kings 18:26, 28,29

26 Then they took the bull they had given them and prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning to noon, saying, "O Baal, hear us." But there was no voice and no one answered. And they danced [a] around the altar they had made.
28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with swords and spears until the blood gushed upon them.
29 After noon, they began to shout frantically [c] until the time of offering the sacrifice of the evening; but there was no voice, no one answered, no one paid attention.

If you have actively participated in the carnival, I must tell you that you have worshiped Satan. If you have not read the Bible, you have never consulted the true God in his word.

Matthew. 22:29.

Jesus tells you: "You err, ignoring the scriptures and the power of God"

How many times by tradition or party have you done it by worshiping satan? Paying worship and ignoring the consequences for these traditions or pagan festivals.

The man who does not know God and does not know his word (The Bible) likes the pleasures of the flesh, the desires of the flesh, the works of the flesh.

Galatians 5:19 - 21

19 And manifest are the works of the flesh, which are: adultery, fornication, filth, lewdness,
20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, strife, dissensions, heresies,
21 envy, homicide, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; about which I admonish you, as I have already told you before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Ignorance serves as an excuse if one recognizes his error and rectifies, but if he is stubborn in error he will be taken as a sin for a fool.

Acts 17:30

But God, having overlooked the times of this ignorance, now sends all men everywhere, to repent.

Reflect on each of the works of the flesh that the Word of God mentions. These practices increase in the Carnival. Do you like to participate in carnivals? I must remind you that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 10:20

20 I say before that what the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to the demons, and not to God; and I do not want you to participate in the demons.

If you ever participated in these activities today is the day to ask for forgiveness, because you did not know what was behind this and tell him:

"Eternal Father in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ forgive me, I regret having done it and cleanse me with your blood that you shed on the Cross for me, and from today I want to walk according to your word, Amen".

You may say, this was done before, now these practices are not carried out; but he wants me to tell him the Carnival of 21st Century, has all the spiritual power unclean as it was thousands of years ago. It is presented to us as an innocent party, which is not a bad thing if it is celebrated correctly. This idea has deceived millions of people including the people of God. Because even if it is not celebrated with that intention that the Devil does not care because you have gotten into his property, his land, his area of influence, and he will do his job to curse his life and that of his family.

In many countries they approve the practice of Carnabal in educational institutions, forcing all children to participate in these rituals. Children are the land of cultivation so that the immoral spirit that brings these traditions and festivals penetrates with force in their minds so that in the future they may be womanizers, drunks, drug addicts and rebels to accept Christ.

Romans 1:28

And since they did not approve of God, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do things that do not fit.

So the bad thing about Carnival is not what you see, rather it is what you do not see and you are working on the spiritual aspects of the children. By practicing these traditions, demons are being invited to influence their lives; since we were kids.

Revelation 18: 4

God commands his people: "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 'Come out of her, my people, so that you will not be partakers of her sins, nor receive part of her plagues.'

Being Christians, we should not return to such practices, for God has made us new creatures in Christ Jesus. It should not be strange for us that by not participating again in those activities that have been described in this article, we get ridicule from non-Christians and non-believers. In fact, the Lord made Peter think about it and wrote it:

1 Peter 4: 4

Therefore, to those who do not believe, now it seems strange to you that you no longer join them in your lost and unbridled life, and that is why they speak ill of you,
