The Superstitious Use of "Holy" Water and Crucifixes

By -
It's no secret that Reformation happens on the same day as Halloween. Halloween is a celebration of superstition. Do you ever notice that horror movies are shown frequently during Halloween? Some horror movies dwell on superstition while others simply dwell for the sake of a scary movie. One could see how these horror movies actually promote superstition over faith in God.

How do some of these horror movies promote superstition? Try to notice some horror movies make extensive use of crucifixes, "holy" water, rosaries or any object that Roman Catholicism deems to help fight against demons. Some of the most familiar scenes are vampires are scared of crucifixes and that monsters are hurt by "holy" water. This also defeats common sense since when can a crucifix serve as a defensive weapon against a criminal's bullet or can "holy" water be used to disinfect a wound? The answer is not at all yet so many people blindly use them as demon repellents.

What's worse is that people who adhere to this superstition of "holy" water and crucifixes think they're fighting Satan but they're actually manipulated by him. What they don't realize is that Satan is actually manipulating them into the road to Hell. Satan would rarely reveal himself as to who he is to his followers. Most of his followers don't even realize they're actually following Satan. Many of them even think they're actually doing God a favor in doing what they do (John 16:3).

These stuff don't even grant any guarantee of salvation. Jesus already warned in John 14:6 that He's the only Way to the Father. Roman Catholics may say that they believe it and that those are ways to Jesus. No, Jesus said you must come to Him directly and you don't pass through Mary His earthly mother to get to Him. Instead, you must come to Him immediately! Stop trusting in "holy" water and crucifixes because they can't save anyone!
