Tesagan Gin Je Festival in Thailand and Body Mutilation

In a struggle to try and figure out why pagans body slash themselves, apparently one can look at the modern practices. According to Taoist sects in Thailand, the body slashing ritual actually may prolong life and prevent calamities but such a practice is already an abomination to God almighty. If I didn't love people, I wouldn't speak against the harms of this practice especially the permanent injuries it can do. I don't care if there are medical specialists there, the practice itself is sick and I won't post pictures of the practice due to the brutality of it.  Google them at your risk!  

Here are some examples of the rituals that may have also been done by the prophets of Baal when they are in a "trance like state" which is nothing more than satanic deception but do note not all pagans practice body mutilation but many do:
  • Impaling through cheeks, arms, face, legs, back etc., with everything from as small as syringes to as large as is agreed upon between all members 
  • Partial skinning (the skin is not removed, just cut and flipped over).
  • Slashing of limbs, chest, stomach and especially tongue with swords, axes and knives. 
  • Bloodletting
  • Removal of tissue (normally limited to cysts) 
  • Intentionally wrapping or standing near fire crackers as they are lit.

In 1 Kings 21:24-29 we do read how the prophets of Baal pierced themselves with lancets and spears bleeding themselves to call upon Baal. In fact, no matter how much of blood these guys spill, none of them can appease God's wrath. Nothing can appease God except the blood of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ shed for man. These practices are sick and stupid at the same time because they deny that only Jesus' blood can wash away sin. Human blood is so polluted it cannot wash away sin, only Jesus can!
