Finalist, 2021 Bram Stoker Awards (Superior Achievement in Non-Fiction) The first collection of essays to address Satan’s ubiquitous and popular appearances in film
Lucifer and cinema have been intertwined since the origins of the medium. As humankind’s greatest antagonist and the incarnation of pure evil, the cinematic devil embodies our own culturally specific anxieties and desires, reflecting moviegoers’ collective conceptions of good and evil, right and wrong, sin and salvation. Giving the Devil His Due is the first book of its kind to examine the history and significance of Satan onscreen.
This collection explores how the devil is not just one monster among many, nor is he the “prince of darkness” merely because he has repeatedly flickered across cinema screens in darkened rooms since the origins of the medium. Satan is instead a force active in our lives. Films featuring the devil, therefore, are not just flights of fancy but narratives, sometimes reinforcing, sometimes calling into question, a familiar belief system.
From the inception of motion pictures in the 1890s and continuing into the twenty-first century, these essays examine what cinematic representations tell us about the art of filmmaking, the desires of the film-going public, what the cultural moments of the films reflect, and the reciprocal influence they exert. Loosely organized chronologically by film, though some chapters address more than one film, this collection studies such classic movies as Faust, Rosemary’s Baby, The Omen, Angel Heart, The Witch, and The Last Temptation of Christ, as well as the appearance of the Devil in Disney animation.
Guiding the contributions to this volume is the overarching idea that cinematic representations of Satan reflect not only the hypnotic powers of cinema to explore and depict the fantastic but also shifting social anxieties and desires that concern human morality and our place in the universe.

A nation deceived...that's what we've become. A "Christian" nation that is in dire need of a genuine repentance...that's what we are. Millions of "Christians" in this country are spiritually dead, still living in bondage to sin, alienated from God and void of His Spirit. Those I am describing are believers no doubt, these believers, however, are simply unaware as to whose message it is that they have accepted. Jesus warns us repeatedly to be on our guard against Satan and his deception being delivered through a false teaching. It is apparent that we haven't taken His warning seriously
The "grace ticket" message being delivered by our pastors today certainly holds to the Name, but this false teaching spawned by the enemy claims that WE can remove the conditional requirements found in His Word and still expect to receive His promises (including eternal salvation) The problem is, according to scripture, just believing in the existence of God and His Son does not reconcile us to God and enable us to receive His Spirit. Believing the whole Truth within His message does (including His conditions and our responsibility).
Satan's deception (easy-believism) is, of course, an easy sell...hence the vastly growing number of mega-churches across this country full of lost souls. Rather than holding firmly to the entire Word of God, "Christians" today have placed their faith in man's word, holding only to those scriptures that support the false teaching that we've accepted, and the belief system that we've created.
So, why is this deception so prevalent in the church today? How does this grace ticket message stand up against the Word of God? What does scripture say about the eternal fate of those who reject the Truth found in His Word and buy the lie? Let's take a look...

Описание: Once upon a time, a man named Godfrey White took it on himself to read the whole bible to determine its validity. Unfortunately, he could not understand it. This upset Godfrey White because he saw the positive impact it had done on other lives and wanted to know more about this "One God" so that it could impact his life too. Mr. White was extremely irritated by the bible because when he read it, he felt like it was judging him, so he felt unworthy of it. Mr. White would spend hours on hours during the day trying to figure out what God's love was all about but felt it was too overwhelming to take in. He would sometimes read it before bed but found the stories as fictional and boring. He did his best to study it and maybe understand who God was but failed to do so. Therefore, Godfrey White placed the book in his closet, where all the other books he had finished reading were. He continued on with his life but everyday he would hear a voice calling to him, "Do you wish to know the truth?" He was not sure where the voice was coming from, so he ignored it. But the more he ignored it, the louder the voice got. Godfrey White soon began to lose his mind because the voice would not go away, so one day when he was alone in his room he spoke back to the voice, "Who is it that is speaking? Am I going crazy? What is the truth?" It was at that moment when the voice spoke back to him saying, "I heard you were searching for me, so I called back to you, but you ignored me. Go to your closet and find that book you have failed to understand, and I will guide you to the truth. Today the gospel shall be revealed to you, and you shall not only receive truth but a relationship with me." #TheSecretIsOut

When you install fear, guild and punishment by eternal torture as the basis of society, then the psychological make up of most people get distorted and life in general tends towards structural un-happyness. However, the doctrine of eternal punishment for unbelievers, executed in a fiery Hell and presided over by a Devil, has been the mainspring and driving force of Christianity. Armed with that belief, the church launched herself upon the Roman Empire, destroyed the pagan religions, extinguished pagan culture, overthrew classical civilization, and pushed the world into the Dark Ages. She filled the world with religious hate, fanaticism, intolerance of science and reason and even established the Inquisition. The most progressive and independent thinking men and women of society were persecuted, just because they resisted the Christian doctrines of fear, damnation, guild and blind obedience. We saw its anticlimax in the Burning Times.
Apart from this core message of his book, which has not lost anything of its actuality, Graves also provides a lot of historical data. Giving us insight in the origins of the many false assumptions the Christian faith build its' empire on. He shows that, mythologically, the God of the Old Testament and the Devil of the New Testament were "originally twin brothers known by the same titles," and that this God and this Devil were Chaldean sun-gods. The origins of the Devil, eternal punishment, Heaven and Hell are discussed, as well as evil itself within this context.
