Imaginary Lover

Celestial was given a prophecy and vision about God regarding masturbation and pornography, where these will be punished a lot in the future. That she had a prophecy involving maggots infesting live people for being perverts is pretty telling, I do remember this sermon on Radio Maria with somebody saying that masturbation is selfish. If because all that energy that’s needed to love somebody, especially in bed, is wasted on yourself and why it’s a bad thing. Celestial also said something about pornography for women, especially something like 50 Shades of Grey, being bad for them.

I kind of recall this passage in a book on romance novel readers where some of these people who do read those kinds of stories do masturbate, as if it kind of worked and proves her point in a way that if it’s meant to arouse it causes somebody to sin or something like that. I don’t think some people are going to be comfortable with this, especially if they think they need an outlet for something. Even if it’s not always a good one, it’s best to not act on it in any way. She also said that pornography is witchcraft, in that people cast spells to make people masturbate or something. Not to mention I remember somewhere saying that porn is made by Satanists.

If this is true, then this explains why you have paranormal romance’s focus on women having sex with supernatural creatures. Celestial even said that these creatures are in fact demons, don’t be surprised if some romance novels start featuring actual demon lovers. It would be the purpose being revealed, as if it’s the Devil’s plan all along. That his time in the universe is short so he’ll do anything and everything to corrupt as much people as he can, so we have to avoid when we have to or learn from it in some way.

I Don’t Want Your Love

Celestial had some words to say about women who read erotica literature and the like, where they could be reading porn especially if they do this to arouse themselves. Admittedly this isn’t unique to the romance and erotica schools of writing, but I feel for every writer that some readers intercede for their salvation and pray that their characters stop cheating (which a certain writer will do in addition to turning their character into a married Christian bride or something) there are those who are lost to the dark side. It would be pretty horrifying if God told me some of these writers actually worship Satan whilst writing those stories, even if there are writers who do turn to him and may one day rewrite their characters as Christian brides.

In all honesty I have prayed for the salvation of a certain writer as well as praying to help them write a story where their character no longer cheats and is married, in fact I prayed this multiple times over and over. I’m not sure if it’s ever going to come to pass but when it does, it will be a surprise to me that sometime in the near future this writer will announce a new story upon their conversion. Their character will finally stop cheating, get married to a Christian man and become a Christian herself. Maybe not exactly the way I worded it out, but to give an idea of how it will be played out in the future. But even if there are people who pray for the salvation of their favourite writers, some don’t bother doing this.

Perhaps because they kind of idolise those writers to an unhealthy degree or something like that, to the point of enabling their worse habits instead of praying for their salvation and have them stop doing something bad. Getting back to what Celestial has to say about the romance and erotica school, it’s something not a lot of romance readers would be pleased to hear or read. I personally believe that the romance and erotica school of writing is inherently flawed, but in the sense of how lust is baked into those stories. It’s not even unique to that school as stories from other schools have this to an extent, but this is particularly rampant with the former.

Whether or not romance novels are pornographic is up to anybody else’s guess, but with these kinds of stories getting more explicit and catering to almost any paraphilia they do risk being so. Even if there are writers who do turn to God and may even rewrite familiar characters as Christian mothers and brides one day, some of it’s possible due to reader intercessions that hopefully they do will be saved but there are others who are lost to the dark side. Lost to the Devil, lost to the world. A wanderlust that leads them to absolutely nowhere but hell, I feel there’s something about the romance novel industry that people will not be comfortable realising or learning in any way.

I feel some of these editors and writers consecrate those stories to the Devil to get higher sales, racier stories and so on that no sooner or later something else will make 50 Shades of Grey look tame in comparison. Demon romances will become a thing as are romances with a ridiculous amount of sexualised violence, so sadistic that it’s shocking why they manage to get published as bestsellers to begin with. If the world is getting worse and worse, expect romance novels to morally hit rock bottom. Expect them to include more sexual sadism so graphic that it’s terrifying why they even made it to paper.

Some romance authors will come up with something heinous and creepy, some already have and the worst is yet to come. Even if there are romance stories that are godly and clean, they are in the minority and even then they can’t be trusted either. If romance novels have gotten more sexually explicit over time, delving into pervier fetishes isn’t much of a stretch which some already have. But it does make one wonder if these kinds of stories glorify or edify God in any way, God could make an exception for writers whose readers have prayed for their salvation because one day they will portray not only Christian characters, but have earlier characters convert to Christianity.

Any sort of story will make somebody stumble, especially if they’re vulnerable to something. It needn’t to be lust but it could be one of those things for other people, even if God would exempt some writers (especially those whom others have interceded for their salvation) there are writers who knowingly make others stumble. Colleen Hoover could be one of those, but she’s not the only one to do so. Less famous writers have done the same thing, Hoover just has a lot more notoriety to gain clout. But they’re not the only ones around, since the romance school as a whole is guilty of this. If they do this to arouse people, then they are to be avoided.

Cut off the organ that makes you sin, put away the stories that make you sin however hard it may be. It would be horrifying if some of these writers are out and proud witches, out to consecrate their stories to the Devil but that would mean they belong to the world and the enemy. They are the people Christians should avoid by necessity, because they can and will corrupt anybody who comes into contact with them. Like any disease, it’s infectious but it can be cured too. I still think the romance and erotica school of writing is possibly the ungodliest school of fiction ever, since lust is highly baked into those that it’s like their writers deliberately make others stumble.

Especially if they’re very vulnerable to lust, that these are the hands that deserve to be cut off. The eyes that need to be gauged, because they enable somebody to read at something with lust that they risk committing a form of adultery if married or in a relationship. Even if God will exempt some writers because readers have interceded for their salvation, there are those who remain beholden to the Devil and have effectively sold their souls to him. So things like Harlequin and the like are poisoned wells, a corrupting influence to some people. If it makes you lust, then cut it out but it’s something that risks falling on deaf ears.

My Secret Love’s No Secret Anymore

Celestial doesn’t mince God’s words when it comes to the subject matter of adultery and any other sexual perversion in marriage and to some extent, dating for as long as there’s no premarital sex involved. No masturbation and reading or consuming pornographic materials whatsoever, that people who indulge in disturbing sexual fantasies will be punished a lot for defiling God’s plan for marriage. This includes rape fantasies, which is present in some stories. Including those that are bestsellers that I think a number of Colleen Hoover fans will not be pleased to hear, if because the things the characters indulge in are against the Lord.

There’s this passage of a presumably male character who indulges in voyeurism when fantasising about a woman, while being sexually attracted to women when male (or vice versa) isn’t necessarily bad in and of itself but if lust is a sin then voyeurism/scopophilia is one of them. Then we get to another book of hers where another character indulges in adultery, another sex act forbidden by the Lord that it’s horrifying her own books have outsold the Bible! This is symptomatic of a fallen society where stories that glorify sexual sins without having the characters face consequences for their actions (or made ashamed of them at the very least).

It’s not hard to see where criticisms of Hoover’s works are coming from, though not necessarily in ways they’re aware of or think. Fornicators/perverts, cheaters and their ilk aren’t going to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven unless if they repent and change their ways from following God or at least doing their best in doing so, but the problem is a good number of stories that America churns out encourages or glorifies these acts. Not just blatant pornography but also books that are widely consumed and enjoyed by those at a formative age that it will give them the wrong impression of what it’s like to be in a loving, mature relationship.

I feel a number of romance books and the like are prone to this in some way or another, like there’s a tendency to see M/M romance stories as liberating even though the Lord and the Bible both look down on homosexuality. It’s as if many of the things these women find sexually liberating actually enslave them to sin, far more than they should be doing that they could risk defiling the marriage bed not just with their husbands, but also their boyfriends if they’re going to marry them at all. For those who don’t want to be married, don’t read these books at all and don’t indulge in any sinful sex act and fantasy either.

Then we get to the subject of affairs which appear in whatever form and are called by whatever people feel like describing and naming those, though I feel a number of celebrities and the like might indulge in some form of adultery. Well not publicised and reported in any way at least for now, but I have the nagging feeling that one of the Backstreet Boys will be outed for having an affair with a fan or younger woman that he’s going to beat up his wife when she finds this out. Then we get to luminaries condoning forms of non-consensual monogamy like polyamory and swinging, which will become more public and commonplace.

Even supposedly wholesome celebrities will be outed for this, be it a secret affair as it will be with Nick Carter, polyamory with other celebrities or how Taylor Swift stole another woman’s boyfriend and why she never seems to settle with any one man in her life. Pardon if it seems like I’m slutshaming Swift but I don’t think Katy Perry has scored that many men in her life, despite her more sexualised public image that one would wonder if Swift might be less vanilla in person. If this is true, then she embodies the phrase ‘lady in the streets, freak in the sheets’. Pretty contrary to her wholesome public persona, when you consider her love life.

This gets me into considering what I should do with my own characters, especially when lust gets brought up in some way that while they struggle with it, somebody tells them not to give into it anymore and/or face the consequences of their actions. Or with those characters who lust that their actions are clearly bad and reflect badly on them, especially if others find out about what they’re up to and it’s not going to be pretty. Perhaps I use depict them in ways that uphold Christian values and beliefs, even if they sin and/or stumble from time to time. It’s one thing to have a character lust, it’s another to have a character struggle with lust and eventually unlearning it if they’re shamed for doing it.

But I feel it’s not something a lot of writers are capable of depicting, even if it upholds Christian values better in the sense that humans always struggle with the flesh due to original sin. I also feel these kinds of characters and stories are needed in a world of ever-growing immorality because it seems the way some authors write their stories glorify or romanticise sexual sin a lot, especially if characters are neither shamed for doing it nor do they face consequences for their actions. Nor if their actions are shown reflecting badly on them, especially if they seem to be good and trusted by the public. This is another way of knowing how bad things are going.

I’m afraid there might be a rise in romance stories and the like where not only rape fantasies are paraded but also sex with demons, more sadistic sex acts, polyamory, swinging and so on and so forth that Colleen Hoover’s own works being popular with young girls is a worrying sign of where things are heading. It would give them the wrong idea of sex when they do get into romantic and marital relationships with men, that it seems the depraved sex acts give them a glimpse into a rather sinful world. That she portrayed a character fantasising about seeing a woman naked feels like she’s glorifying voyeurism instead of a loving relationship between servant and leader.

The more the world glorifies sinful sex acts and lust, the worst these stories will get where it’s not enough to have rape fantasies. We’ll eventually get to things that the Marquis de Sade would have easily cooked up and it will be enjoyed by teenage girls, Colleen Hoover’s a sign of worse things to come because of her stories’ popularity with those people.

Whatever that is pure, think of those things

Something in the Bible where that involves choosing or finding media and the like that doesn’t offend or compete with God in any way, especially if it’s something that doesn’t make you stumble a lot. It could be anything that edifies and is pure, so think of those things because they don’t make you sin a lot. I pretty much pointed out that Taylor Swift is kind of predatory when it comes to creating songs that focus a lot on heartbreaks and the like, which would make certain people fall susceptible to it. Especially if they are romantics at heart, that it would be better to turn to God more for his advice.

I also think this is true for romance novels, the more I think about it this way. A number of them are pretty predatory in the sense that they play on readers’ desire for appealing or attractive men, but it doesn’t just stop at vanilla romance since there are skeevier things like those that fetishise certain ethnicities, certain features like piercings and tattoos and more disturbing content in the case with dark romance. I feel with dark romance novel stories and the like, we pretty much have subject matter that wouldn’t be too out of place in a Marquis de Sade story. It’s pretty much something that’s right up his alley, to the point where any one of those scenes wouldn’t be out of place in something like 120 Days of Sodom or Justine.

I actually know somebody online who is romantic at heart, yet is unable to land any man she wants. She reads romance novels a lot but has dogs instead, listens to Taylor Swift and stuff that she’s pretty vulnerable to this sort of subject matter. If God advises us to abstain from lust, whether if we’re single or in a relationship, admittedly for me this is an uphill battle. I have struggled with it for years and from time to time, there’s somebody else in the family who also has these and likely read a lot of dark romances before. If it’s something that makes you lust, then cut it you and put it away as you need to.

I remember reading a book where it states that some romance readers do masturbate to these stories, so anybody vulnerable to lust will be susceptible to these kinds of things. This is a rather circular argument of mine so to speak, but it proves my point that certain things are rather predatory. Conversely speaking, there are media, topics and stories that don’t cause us to sin a lot. Most especially the Bible, devotionals and the like though secular things also count to a possible extent. It’s like if planets don’t make you lust, then think of those things and focus on them after God.

The stumbling block could be anything, so we shouldn’t let others stumble even if we fumble at this at times. I imagine any one of you would be defensive over this, but it has to be said because at times the problems are self-inflicted. We reap what we sow, if you lust a lot and read romances then you’ll be unable to control it in any way you like without relying on God and/or suffer from the consequences of it. I’ve been through this before, likely this is true for somebody else as well. She might lose her husband to an accident in the future, so this is something she has to be careful if she were to live without him for long.

I myself try my hardest to be careful with my tendency to sin, even if I stumble and fumble at various times. But whatever that is good, enjoy these things to paraphrase the Bible.

What I’ve Done

Celestial had a prophecy involving athletes and particularly American athletes at that, where they all become so demonically possessed that they become bestial and monstrous. That these transformations will happen when they abuse people is something that seems like it comes from a horror movie, except that this will be played out in the real world where these athletes scream in agony as they transform into something hideous. Again it seems like the plot of a horror movie that you have otherwise human athletes turning into something terrifying whilst abusing people, but this will occur in real life and that’s the worst part of the prophecy.

While not all athletes give into the Devil as there are those who do take the time to honour God, same with their coaches and there are sports websites that have devotionals, there are sports fans who are also committed Christians and stuff but sadly they’re not the majority of athletes, coaches and sports fans out there in the world. There are actually studies about Cameroonian footballers partaking in witchcraft in order to win, when they could’ve easily turned to God to do the same thing really. It’s been said elsewhere that there are football teams and clubs with satanic imagery, that’s what I read on Spirit Reports but Manchester United is notorious for having a satanic emblem that it’s known as the team of ‘Red Devils’.

Too much of something is bad enough, to quote the Spice Girls and coincidentally one of its members is married to the footballer David Beckham himself. That there’s a lot of demonic activity when some people are having sex suggests that marriage and sex shouldn’t be defiled, be careful with who you fraternise with and take care of the spouse you’re given. I actually lost the person I was going to marry from sinning too much, so let this be a cautionary story to those who’re going to marry don’t sin and defy God until it gets the better of you. There’s also this Backstreet Boys fan who became a single mum, mostly because while she calls herself a Christian she also writes a lot of porny BSB stories.

To the point where it’s not surprising why she got there and why this also be a warning to any other wife who say they’re devoted to God, yet lust in some way or another that they too will lose their husbands in some way. Like your cousin had a raging porn addiction that she’ll become a single mother one day, this is another example and why we need to be more careful about this lest we lose the ones we’re entrusted to have or love.

Don’t Go Too Fast

When it comes to whether or not Taylor Swift is a witch herself, for what I do know is that she comes off as too sympathetic to the occult. Whether if she’s a witch or not is up to somebody else who knows better about this, but I’m inclined to think that Swift is most likely a bad role model to other people. Especially to those vulnerable to certain problems like lust or loneliness, given a number of her songs revolve around finding a man yet she’s unable to stick to any one man she’s ever been with. I think this has been pointed out in YouTube comments in one video by Angela Marie Ucci, that her songs can mess up one’s chances of being in a relationship with somebody given the messages of some of them.

To put it this way, not only do I want to be in a relationship with somebody but that I used to listen to Taylor Swift on Radio Disney, believe it or not. I used to think she was kind of fine, I wasn’t too obsessive over her then something by God made me realise that she might be practising witchcraft. So I did my best to not listen to her again, otherwise I would’ve been pulled into a worse mess than I was before when I wasn’t saved and when I deliberately messed up my chances of marrying a former classmate. Angela Ucci admitted that Swift’s music made her hypersexual, but whatever the problems she induces in her listeners I don’t think Swift can be trusted anymore.

It’s been suspected before that she’s not a good role model, whether if she might be racist in some way or that she destroys the environment a lot. Perhaps the revelation that she might be into witchcraft might cast light on others’ suspicions of her, in ways they don’t immediately realise why there’s something off about her. Albeit not always for the reasons they think it is, because it would have to come from God to know what she might be up to. If God’s wisdom is worth more than the world’s wisdom, then we should heed to his advice over certain characters and matters. Particularly Taylor Swift as she’s not only really popular, but also really relevant at the moment.

As for the problems she caused in other people, listening to her music may have aggravated their existing vices and woes. I know one mother who listens to her music, enjoys watching sexy men and writing porny fanfiction. Another is unable to land any man she would’ve liked and likes, reads romance novels (but owns dogs, contrary to the stereotype) and also listens to Taylor Swift herself. Both of them are into this television character named Felicity Smoak, so it comes off as an intersection of problems they have that get aggravated and worsened from listening to her a lot. Seems like Ucci is onto something here, something she herself knew very well from being a former Swiftie.

That we have women who may love men but their own problems and vices get exacerbated from being Swifties, that I think for one of them divorce may come due to her own vice of lusting a lot despite being married at this time. Another could have had a chance at finding a man, if only she had to stop lusting when she can manage and stop listening to Swift in particular. So Taylor Swift really isn’t a good role model, but especially to those who are vulnerable to lust and/or loneliness in some way that the messages of her own songs may not influence them in good ways. That it worsens whatever problems they currently have is something we should take heed of.

Pornos for Pyros

Cardinal Heenan had something to say about the mainstreaming of porn, especially whenever people try to justify the things they want to popularise. Like they want to dress their stuff as if it’s more sophisticated and mature than it actually is, not just getting more explicit but also more blasphemous and obscene. Perhaps it’s unsurprisingly it has worsened over time, getting more disturbing each time with snuff and the like. That’s not to say people can’t be educated about say sexual organs and marital relationships, though I think there’s a line between desensitisation to pornographic material in whatever form they appear in and proper sex education.

The latter shouldn’t just end at marriage, relationships and sexual organs but also fostering a respect for marriage, boundaries to which sexual practices can be done and which shouldn’t as well as loving others the way God needs us to. As for romance novels and their ilk, they too are getting more explicit over time. It’s not enough to have a merely handsome hero fall in love with the heroine, but the sex act and the sexualisastion of the hero has to be more explicit. It’s not a stretch to go from mere romantic encounters to disguised hints at sex organs to outright depictions of sex, I feel of all the literary genres it’s romance that’s inherently flawed because it has lust baked in it.

Heroes can’t just be handsome but they also have to fit either one of the many fetish categories, whether if he’s another ethnicity, has piercings or tattoos. He could even be a demon, which is the most disturbing of all in addition to a number of dark romance novels whose plot points and stories seem like what Donatien Alphonse Francois de Sade would’ve easily come up with in his lifetime, I have struggled with lust at various points and I feel it needs to be talked about more often. If it’s something that makes you lust, whether if it’s an art book featuring nudes or a romance novel then the precipice is always there in some form or another.

The Bible is very simple about this that if it’s something that makes you lust, get rid of it as much as you can and get rid of the offending material. It could be a romance novel for some people, it could be an art book for others but the problem’s still the same.

99 Problems

I believe the whole ‘women are beautiful mantra’ is actually very harmful, especially to those struggling with either lust or pride (especially the immodesty aspect) that it actually encourages them to do worse. The Bible’s very no-nonsense about these two, with lust if it’s something that makes you lust then you should stop. If nude paintings make you masturbate, then you should stop what you’re doing. If you’re struggling with sexual attraction to women as a woman, then you should stop as well since the Bible frowns upon homosexuality. Cut off the organ that makes you sin and you’ll be set free.

Then we get to immodesty where there’s a line in the Bible that says about not drawing attention to yourself, not just about showing skin but most importantly about not showing off your fanciest outfit (that’s something I fell into). I believe the whole Biblical modesty thing would be better used against not just clothes that show the body but also most importantly against things like OOTD, which encourages people to boast about what they’re wearing at the moment. If you post pictures of yourself in the latest outfit on social media, with the intent of attracting an audience then you are immodest.

The Bible frowns upon pride of any sort, this kind of immodesty is no different. But it’s easy to forget or ignore what the Bible has to say about these things in favour of the world, regardless if God’s own advice is far more useful than its human/worldly counterpart. It’s far more sensible than what the world puts out, but it’s unfortunately easier to fall for the world than the word of God. So that’s why we have so many problems, lust on one hand and pride on the other. This motto has caused far more problems than it solves, especially if it leads to two pernicious problems the Bible talks about.

We don’t listen to God’s advice, so we reap what we sow. That’s why the Jezebel spirit thrives in women, whether as immodesty or unwanted sexual desires because of this motto. The Bible really frowns upon this, since we should be better off focusing on building godly character. But because of this motto, we have a surge in plastic surgery and the like. Rather than striving to be godly and holy, we become worldly and stupid. We’re not sensible enough to realise what we’ve done to ourselves, especially if it leads to more problems. If only we listened to God’s advice, then a lot would’ve been reprieved.

Evil Ways

While it’s true not everything America produces and exports are bad, but when you have people like Celestial and Dumitru Duduman pointing out that America is Mystery Babylon then much of the stuff it exports really isn’t good. Not just those that are outright evil, but those you don’t expect them to be. But this involves becoming more careful with what you consume and get, if because demons will do anything to corrupt people with and take advantage of anything that appears sweet and innocent. After all, the Devil can appear as an angel of light. He could make himself appear as a superhero when he wants to, which is something he has already done when it comes to Marvel’s Daredevil.

It isn’t just that Daredevil looks like what you expect the Devil to, he even lives in Hell’s Kitchen (though a real place) but one can’t help but wonder if it alludes to Hell in some way. Hell being where the Devil and demons reside, so the well’s already poisoned though it’s not obvious to us since it’s easier to protest anything that’s blatantly occult and demonic. As I said before somewhere else that it’s easy to make the charge against Harry Potter and Dungeons and Dragons, but not something like X-Men and Daredevil even though you have blatantly demonic characters there from time to time. Illyana Rasputina doesn’t just use magic and is a heroine, she even looks like the Devil herself from time to time.

If Marvel’s well turns out to be poisoned from the beginning or something close, no matter how appealing many of its characters are if some of them are based on demons and the Devil then avoid them when you have to. It’s even more surprising to hear that Spider-Man, Batman and Superman are also based on demons, which makes the idolatry around them all the more potent. If one charges Catholicism with promoting idolatry, then they should do the same with geek fandoms as they’re really no different. They’re both morally and theologically equivalent, but it’s easier to go against something that’s blatantly evil than something that appears good.

If images and statues of saints constitute graven images, so should any merchandise featuring superheroes. If somebody makes an idol of any superhero, it’s really and practically no different. I even think fandom is a sophisticated form of idolatry, if because it involves worshiping the creature in whatever form it appears rather than God himself. It could be anything that takes away attention to God, it could be football or basketball but it could also be superheroes. The problem is that as superheroes appear so innocuous, to the point where Christians have practically slept on those for as long as they did.

Because of geek fandoms, it’s easy for America to perpetuate and cultivate idolatry this way. The rest of the west has done the same thing too, the more they drink from America’s distilleries the worse they get. I think for many Christians and especially Protestants, it’s easy to forget what else is evil and unholy. Especially if it’s something that appears good that will only show its true colours, it could be America itself as some Christians think it’s deserving of God’s love when in reality it’s deserving of his wrath. It could be superheroes and geek fandoms, since other than Harry Potter and DnD, most of them seem so harmless as to be ignored.

I think geek fandoms are even worse than Catholicism in some regards, if because some Catholics actually worship God himself. Geek fandoms have taken idolatry to a science and an art form, since at times it does resemble religious worship. Not just the trappings of organised religion, but also how such people have to attend conventions like one would do with churches. At other times I find myself wondering how arbitrary some Christians’ objections to worldly things are, since most of the time it’s only certain worldly things that get this treatment.

Others have been ignored for as long as they have, to the point where it seems the Devil successfully got people’s attention. He knows he doesn’t want to be found out by the Lord, so he will do anything to appear as innocent and sweet as possible. It needn’t to be Harry Potter that makes people do ungodly things, it needn’t to be the Roman Catholic Church either. It could be something like X-Men and Star Trek also influencing people for the worst, you know something like slash fanfiction (fanmade stories featuring homosexual relationships between existing characters).

It doesn’t help that it’s more common for Christians to charge horror films of evil than they do with romance novels, since I fear they don’t take the latter seriously even when they have led people to lust. It seems if it appears innocent, they will ignore it which makes its duplicity more potent. Whatever that is blatantly evil, Christians will protest but if it doesn’t look evil they will be silent. I believe the romance genre is inherently flawed, if because most romance stories have lust baked into them. So it’s inevitable that they will cover whatever that was taboo before, what Marquis de Sade wrote has made it into some of them as dark romance.

If it’s America that produces and exports these pieces of rubbish, then it is Mystery Babylon and all the more a reason to be more careful with what you get if because many of them aren’t good. Not just that they’re not informative nor practical, but that some of them appear innocent despite being so wretched on the inside. If America stops exporting its stuff elsewhere, then it will be for the better as God will undo its influence wherever it went.

All Out Of Love

There are people like Celestial who say that Jezebel’s legacy lives on in a supernatural or demonic way, possibly because she herself was involved in many ungodly and witchy activities. It could be a peculiar way of dressing, it could be a peculiar way of ‘loving’ people. It could also be something like romance and erotica books, since I feel it needn’t to be feminism for the Jezebel spirit to persist and multiply. While there are likely some romance books that are genuinely wholesome and are written by Christians themselves, the problem is most romance books are built upon lust so this sin really is built into them in a way it isn’t for fantasy, horror and science fiction (as far as I know).

So it’s a downhill spiral to witness such documents going from merely falling for a handsome, desirable man to including more explicit sex acts and eventually more taboo subject matter like violence especially when it’s sexualised. There’s even a subgenre for this kind of filth and it’s dark romance, some of these books include graphic gore and so on. Another is M/M romance, as in romance books featuring gay relationships at the front and centre. It seems as time goes by, romance books include things that would’ve been taboo years ago. Not just M/M romances but also gore and the like, I even think worse things are yet to come. We could have demon romances at any time soon.

I still think some of the real problems with many romance books isn’t so much about sentimentality, but how lust is baked into them that it’s a matter of time they’ll include more taboo sex acts. More sadistic violent sex acts will become commonplace in dark romance books, even more disturbing ones will make it to the pages. I even think there are some romance writers and editors who indulge in devilry and witchcraft, to the point where this is how such taboo acts become a thing in many romance books at this time. If it’s something that causes you to lust, get rid of it as much as you can.

Let this be a warning to those who don’t just struggle with lust, but also read such kinds of stories that are ultimately no good for the soul!
