There are lots of good points in this article. Somebody recently asked regarding one of Satan's devices, "Where's that in the bible?" Every snare of the devil is not listed in the bible. It's up to the pastor and his flock to learn how the enemy operates so they can avoid his snares.

Every snare of the devil is not listed in the bible.
Therefore, when people like you come along pronouncing thus-and-so to be a "snare of the devil," the rest of us aren't obliged to believe you.
This is Christianity. We do sola Scriptura here, not "plus the weird ravings of paranoid women who refuse to join themselves to Christ's body."
Case in point: alleged "curses" on Hallowe'en candy, evidence for which is non-existent apart from your personal assertion that it is so. Nothing in the Bible says that Satan or his minions can place curses on objects that have a spiritual effect on the people who use them. Therefore, apart from some sort of a) credible evidence that Satanists curse candy; and b) credible evidence that cursed candy can harm me in some measurable way, I am fully justified in parking this assertion with the other superstitious tall tales.

Lots of things that are true are not stated in the bible.
Christians need to think and make applications regarding what is written in God's word. Those who don't want Christians to be aware that objects most definitely can be cursed (occultists in sheep's clothing do give or sell cursed objects to Christians) don't want Christians to know this.
Objects can indeed be accursed, and God does not want his people to keep accursed things:
But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel. Jos. 7:1
Below is the biblical account of true Christians (they believed, confessed and showed their deeds) burning objects (cursed objects) they had formerly used for curious arts:
Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. Acts 19:19
The many who believed burned their occult books (books which they had formerly used to do curious arts) rather than sell these expensive materials for personal gain or even to give to the church. Why did they burn these occult books rather than selling them? Any person who truly comes out of the occult knows that any objects they used in demon worship (including the books with instructions as to how to do so) are cursed objects and need to be destroyed lest they fall into someone else's hands.
BTW, I found my scrapbooked pages of when I first joined this forum. You did not have the words, "Agent of Satan" on your signature line at that time. You added them after I arrived here, just as I stated in my article that you cited in another thread. I am mentioning this because someone said she had been posting here three years (I believe she said three years) and you have always had "Agent of Satan" as your signature. This is not correct.

maybe, but before that it was "Team Satan"- same point.
he's wearing the silly accusation as a badge of honor. it's illustrating absurdity by being absurd.

The Bible, not the demented drivel spewed by you or your idiot man-child husband, is our sole infallible authority regarding the supernatural.
If the Bible does not say supernatural Satanic curses exist and can glom onto candy, I not only have no obligation to believe it, I have every right to laugh heartily at you and your incompetent con job of true Christianity.
"Not everything true is in the Bible" is merely your weak and pathetic excuse to attempt to con real Christians with lying BS. Nothing more.
Christians need to think and make applications regarding what is written in God's word.
Make application to this, Fraudette: "when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him" (Deut. 18:22).
Those who don't want Christians to be aware that objects most definitely can be cursed . . . don't want Christians to know this.
Wow, you do tautology too! Is there no limit to your talents?
Objects can indeed be accursed, and God does not want his people to keep accursed things: [Josh. 7:1]
The "accursed things" were "accursed" only in the sense that they were devoted to destruction by fiat: "the city and all that is within it shall be devoted to the LORD for destruction" (Josh. 6:17). Not because someone spoke magic words over them and made them evil.
Learn some hermeneutics, false prophet.

LOL! Thanks for pointing that out to me, Captainette Obvious.
