You're very brave to come out and admit that you are a Satanist, and The Refiner's Fire applauds your courage.
Naturally, coming from a Biblical perspective, we cannot understand how anyone could "dedicate himself to Satan" as every Satanic website on the internet is proof that Satan is an evil entity who entices people into doing whatever they want, even if it hurts others. For instance, one visit into the Joy of Satan chatroom can give a regular reader goosebumps. It literally reeks with hatred; with rampant cussing, cursing and name-calling and a rabid desire to get revenge on the world - especially on the people of God. Anyone who dares to oppose their ideology or the hideous plots to rid the world of "xtians and Jews", is immediately rebuked with viper-like attacks. There is absolutely no evidence of compassion or love for humanity to be found in Satanic websites....
Although Satanists refuse to acknowledge it, Satan is God's adversary - the "evil one" who was kicked out of heaven for trying to usurp God's power when he was still known as the angel Lucifer. God allowed Satan to have dominion over the earth for a time (which will end as soon as Yeshua returns) and so, in the meantime, he is wreaking havoc - mainly because he knows how "The Book" ends and he wants to take as many as possible into hell with him!
Satan is real, as is evidenced in several Scriptures; and, in each instance, mankind is warned to stay away from him. Even Yeshua (Jesus) did not try to argue with Satan from a "carnal" standpoint but, rather, He used Scriptures to rebuke this cunning enemy:
Matthew 4: 3 And the tempter came and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread." 4 But He answered and said, "It is written, 'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.'" (See also Deuteronomy 8:3) 5 Then the devil took Him into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written, 'HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU'; and 'ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.'" ([Psalm 91:11,12) 7 Jesus said to him, "On the other hand, it is written, 'YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.'" (See also Deuteronomy 6:16) 8 Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; 9 and he said to Him, "All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me." 10 Then Jesus said to him, "Go, Satan! For it is written, 'YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'" (See Deuteronomy 6:13-15, 10:20,21) 11 Then the devil left Him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him. (See Matthew 4:1-13)
Since Satan is a created being, the ONLY power he had, was that which God allowed him to have:
Job 1:12 - Then the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power, only do not put forth your hand on him." So Satan departed from the presence of the LORD.
Luke 22:31 - "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat.
Luke 10: 17 - The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name." 18 And He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. 19 "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. 20 "Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven."
Satanism is a religion of contradictions. For instance, Satanists will tell you that, because they "don't believe in God or the Bible", anyone challenging them cannot use Scripture. On the other hand, they become angry when they're reminded that Satan himself apparently believed in God and the Bible because several Satanic websites quote Satan as saying: "THERE IS NO GOD BUT MYSELF. KNOWING THIS, WHO DARES WORSHIP THE FALSE GODS OF THE KORAN AND BIBLE?" -SATAN (FROM THE QU'RET AL-YEZID)
Who dares worship someone besides Satan? Perhaps those who realize Satan is an evil being whose agenda is only to damn their souls to hell!
Many sects of Satanism adhere to their "bible" Al-Jilwah. Just out of curiosity, how many prophecies in Al-Jilwah have come true? Does it even have any prophecies? The Bible has had hundreds of them that have already come true, and they are still coming true before our very eyes! How can that be if the God of the Bible is a myth? For instance, look at the Middle East situation. The Muslims have started beheading believers - just like the Bible predicted. (It didn't say MUSLIMS, specifically, but it does say that many believers would be beheaded for their belief - and who are the ONLY people in the universe who still behead? (See Islam: Peace or Beast?)
Some other Bible prophecies that have already been fulfilled are outlined in the following articles:
The people of the Joy of Satan will tell you that these are lies, but please remember - they don't know God or the Bible. They don't realize that we are in the end times, and that there are only a few more prophecies yet to be fulfilled. Ask yourself this: Since hundreds of Bible prophecies have already come true, what are the chances that the rest WON'T? Please be vigilant and open so you can recognize the Truth when you see it.
As John Slusarenko, a friend of The Refiner's Fire recently said: "It's the Truth that sets us free - and Satan, the father of lies that will make captives of all of us. How can anyone believe that a created person could defeat his Creator? All Satanism does is to let you enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season...However, it's not about 'being happy' in this world. Christ has shown us 'the way'. Hebrews 11:25 - (Moses) Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season - This is about eternity!"
The Joy of Satan website from which you said you "learned much" is overflowing with many falsehoods, unsubstantiated comments/assertions and personal opinions - all of which are easily challenged. Some of these can be viewed in our article in which we challenge Satanism and the webmaster of "The Joy of Satan" and "Black Sun".
We urge you to reconsider your stance on Satanism. Why choose to worship somebody who will only lead to eternal death, when you can have eternal life in Yeshua? God gave us only two choices in this world: Yeshua or Satan. Please think very hard about this because your eternal future is at stake.
