ExplanationoftheOccult:
Inordertounderstandalotofevilinmusic,books,movies,ectyouneedtounderstandwhattheoccultis.Theword occultcomesfromtheLatinwordoccultus(clandestine,hidden,secret),referringto"knowledgeofthehidden".Thatstempting.Let mestoprightthereandbringinthetemptationstoryinGenesis3:27.2Andthewomansaidtotheserpent,Wemayeatthefruit ofthetreesofthegarden;3butofthefruitofthetreewhichisinthemidstofthegarden,Godhassaid,Youshallnoteatit,nor shallyoutouchit,lestyoudie.4Thentheserpentsaidtothewoman,Youwillnotsurelydie.5ForGodknowsthatinthedayyou eatofityoureyeswillbeopened,andyouwillbelikeGod,knowinggoodandevil.6Sowhenthewomansawthatthetreewas goodforfood,thatitwaspleasanttotheeyes,andatreedesirabletomakeonewise,shetookofitsfruitandate.Shealsogaveto herhusbandwithher,andheate.7Thentheeyesofbothofthemwereopened,andtheyknewthattheywerenaked;andthey sewedfigleavestogetherandmadethemselvescoverings.
