Occult Book Reviews

For those who don’t know yet, the Book of Mormon was first published in 1830 by a certain Joseph Smith Jr., who claimed to have found gold plates that he discovered buried (in 1823) near his home at Manchester NY. Joseph also stated that a divine being literally guided him to the plates. The plates were encrypted in something similar to ancient Egyptian, which took Joseph the good part of seven years to decipher. The book speaks of the story of Adam and Eve, and also the last days, very much like the Bible does. However, as we will see – there are also striking differences between classic Christianity and Mormonism. This publication led to the establishment of the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and its members are referred to as Mormons or Latter Day Saints. As with any new doctrine, Mormonism was, and still is, often frowned upon by the classic believers and some even refer to Mormonism as evil. On the other hand, the Mormons claim that they do not preach anything out of... (more...)

While most religious traditions have beliefs that are considered bizarre by those outside that faith, Mormons seem to have the most beliefs that are routinely rejected by non-Mormons because of their oddness or their ability to be disproved. Here is a countdown of 10 of the most unusual Mormon beliefs. 10. The earth is 7,000 years old. There is no official statement by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints about the age of the earth, but many Mormons (and many Christians of some sects) believe that the age of the earth is on the order of thousands of years rather than billions calculated by widely accepted scientific methods. 9. Mars and Venus have dry rivers. The dry rivers on Mars and Venus were the source of the flowing rivers on earth. The theory is that the dry rivers on Mars and Venus “match” the rivers on Earth and that proves that all three planets were organized from the same source. 8. Dinosaur bones come from other planets.

Over the past 2 millennia, Christianity and the Catholic Church has evolved and grown to become the largest religious group in the world today. Although Christianity began as a Jewish sect with belief in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, over the centuries, many cults, sects, and groups like the Mormons, evolved to impart their own understanding and beliefs of the teachings of Jesus Christ. All over the World, Christians and Christianity is often divided along ethnic, linguistic, beliefs and traditions. These differences gave birth to the different denominations in Christianity like the Puritans, Baptists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, and some cults and sects, and groups too – like the Mormons. But are the Mormons really a cult or sect, or is there something more than that – or maybe less than what they are assumed to be. What are their beliefs, rites, rituals, and secrets? Generally, a cult or a sect is seen as Devil worshippers or those who are radically opposed to the beliefs... (more...)

Are you a superstitious person? One who always throws salt over their shoulder, or won’t step on a crack? Well you most likely know all about those 2012 doomsday prophecies already than. But are they real, is something going to happen when December 21, 2012 comes around? Or is it all some hype people have made up? But when you ask some people, they say there is nothing stated in any of that history to point to this type of prophecy. There was a lot of Mayan information uncovered, but by far it’s not understood fully. Most likely it will never completely be understood either. However, with most theories that are so impacting on life, it can be built up. Made to seem worse by people who add on to the tales and place it for everyone to see. Yes it’s freedom of speech and all that, but programs do seem to add to the theories of what may happen. And they are very popular; they started back in 2006 with the History Channel. Such ideas as storms that would hit the world with... (more...)

Quite often, the Freemasonry is referred to as an Occult Science. The Freemasonry originates back to about the 1600?s. They class themselves as a Fraternity. The Freemasons rely on the symbols to which they only know the meaning of. They will sometimes refer to the greatest architect of the world. This is known as the creator and the freemasons take it upon themselves to pay homage to his presence and recognize his actions. Some of the anti Freemasons believe that this fraternity is a satanic cult. This is based on the premise that this organization is an Occult science. It is believed that Satan uses the occult sciences to control the world. Some believe that a satanic organization is a worldwide spread that has the ability to influence people. These groups have their own agenda when it comes to spiritualism, finances and political view. In the concepts that are used to influence others into believing that, what they are promoting is factual. Some people believe that the entire financial... (more...)
