If you were in a cult, you know what 'Black Metal' is all about. The hours upon hours of repeating the words of your leader. Doing what ever they tell you to do without question. Giving all your Earthly goods as well as your virginity to the leader. All for the promise of 'something terrific'. Time and time again, it has been proven to be nothing more than a 'pack of lies'.
So what confuses me, is why you do what you do and you know that God is watching you? I do not 'bash you with Bible verses' I am trying to open your eyes to the Glory that is God.
I know you feel the void, the deep yearning for something to fulfill you. You want Gods turgid love yet you are afraid to ask for it. That is why you are here. You want us to guide you. To gently hold your trembling hand, cradle your head in our arms as we pull out our Bible and show you the erupting Glory that God wants to shower you with.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
