¿CONVIENE ANDAR CONTANDO HISTORIAS SOBRE DEMONIOS?

“Amor de Dios” pág. 183

 

 Mientras que en casi todo el mundo occidental suele restársele importancia a la peligrosidad de Satanás, en otras partes de la Tierra ocurre lo contrario. Muchas personas han caído en la trampa de creer que es más poderoso de lo que realmente es. De hecho, viven, comen, trabajan y duermen con miedo a los demonios. Al mismo tiempo, les fascina escuchar y contar un relato tras otro sobre actos poderosos realizados por los espíritus. Ahora bien, ¿deberíamos los siervos del Dios verdadero prestar atención a esas historias o difundirlas? No, y por dos razones fundamentales.

20. ¿Cómo podríamos hacer publicidad a Satanás sin darnos cuenta?

20 La primera razón es que si divulgáramos historias sobre hazañas demoníacas, le haríamos el juego a Satanás. ¿De qué manera? Pues bien, aunque la Biblia reconoce que él tiene la capacidad de realizar actos poderosos, también muestra que emplea “señales y portentos [...] mentirosos” y “todo engaño” (2 Tesalonicenses 2:9, 10). Es el mayor embustero que existe, y sabe manipular la mente de quienes sienten atracción por el espiritismo. Así, logra que crean sinceramente que han visto o escuchado lo que en realidad no ha ocurrido. Luego tal vez lo cuenten como un hecho, y al ir de boca en boca, se va exagerando el relato. ¿Qué sucedería si un cristiano participara en esa cadena de cuentos? Que estaría colaborando con “el padre de la mentira”. ¡Le estaría haciendo publicidad! (Juan 8:44; 2 Timoteo 2:16.)

21. ¿Sobre qué asuntos deben girar nuestras conversaciones?

21 Aun si los ataques demoníacos que alguien afirma haber sufrido fueran reales, hay una segunda razón para no andar contándolos vez tras vez a los hermanos. Queremos centrarnos en Cristo, y no en Satanás. Debemos estar “mirando atentamente al Agente Principal y Perfeccionador de nuestra fe, Jesús” (Hebreos 12:2). De hecho, cuando él estuvo en la Tierra no se dedicó a relatar a sus discípulos un sinnúmero de historias de espíritus, y eso que sin duda tenía información de sobra acerca de lo que podía o no podía hacer el Diablo. Más bien, se concentró en el mensaje del Reino. Hacemos bien en imitar a Jesús y sus apóstoles conversando sobre asuntos edificantes, como “las cosas magníficas de Dios” (Hechos 2:11; Lucas 8:1; Romanos 1:11, 12).

22. ¿Cómo contribuimos a que haya “gozo en el cielo”?

22 Como hemos visto, Satanás intenta acabar con nuestra relación con Jehová valiéndose de trampas muy diversas, entre ellas el espiritismo. Sin embargo, si mantenemos vivo nuestro odio por el mal y nos aferramos al bien, no le daremos al Diablo la oportunidad de debilitarnos en nuestra resolución de rechazar el espiritismo en todas sus modalidades (Efesios 4:27). ¡Cuánto “gozo [habrá] en el cielo” si seguimos “firmes contra las maquinaciones del Diablo” hasta que sea destruido! (Efesios 6:11.)

Ninguna de las designaciones que recibe Satanás —las cuales lo presentan como Opositor, Calumniador, Engañador, Tentador y Mentiroso— da a entender que pueda leernos la mente o el corazón. En cambio, a Jehová se le llama “el examinador de los corazones”, y a Jesús, “el que escudriña los riñones y corazones” (Proverbios 17:3;Revelación 2:23).

    • Should Christians place greater trust in human-created philosophies or should a genuine Christian ground their desires from the scriptural perspective on the frailties of the mind and body? Psychology often falls short when it clashes with personal beliefs, regardless of the intentions behind it. James 1:14, Romans 12: 2 It also acts as a guide to clarify misconceptions, such as labeling "shunning" as an evil act rather than recognizing it as a corrective measure or a personal choice. This suggests a misunderstanding on the part of experts, more so than scholars, regarding psychological matters. The forum is structured around Christian ethics.
    • https://phcworld.com/category/health-and-wellness/ The Dendera Zodiac is a fascinating ancient Egyptian artifact that holds significant historical and astronomical value. Discovered in the Hathor Temple at Dendera, it is a carved bas-relief dating back to the Roman period of Egypt, around 50 BCE. This intricate depiction of the night sky features a circular representation of constellations and celestial bodies, showcasing the ancient Egyptians' advanced understanding of astronomy.
