"Saints" bracelets and rosaries. It's Demonic!

 I know i'm gonna hear it from somebody on this one.. But, ignorance is bliss, and I'm here to inform.

Most recently, you may have seen an increase in the wearing of "los santos" or "saints" bracelets and rosaries. Previously worn only by those who practice or beleive in Santeria, they have become a common fashion item in mainstream America. Although they may appear harmless and even "religious," their originations and true meaning are neither Christian nor biblical in any sense. Ladies and gentlemen,

 ITS DEMONIC!

 The history of this jewelery and the images that adorn them are darker than you may suspect. The demonic-ness is two-fold... First and foremost, we as Christians are not to "cast images of stone or bronze" neither for worship, nor to pray to. Catholicism has conveniently avoided this commandment for centuries. So, even at face value, the worship or faith in these saints is blatantly unbiblical. It is santeria; the worship of the saints.

Now here's the deeper meaning... During the slave trade, hundreds of years ago, the West African religion of "Yoruba" or the worhship of the dead, was brought to the Americas and West Indies by the captives of the slave trade. This dark religion was banned by slave owners and forced underground. To continue the practice of this religion, the slaves cleverly mixed their spiritual entities with patron saints associated with catholicism. These spiritual entities, called Orishas, are often referred to as the "Seven African Powers" (there are more than seven) and correspond variably to different saints in the Catholic religion. The religions that derived from Yoruba are extremely widespread in Latin America and have become a commonplace practice in hispanic communities.

Santeria, Candomble, Vodoun, Macumba, and Palo are all derived from the same religion. It is the worship of the dead, and the worship of demon spirits. It is NOT from God and it is an abomination unto our Lord.

These religions are whats truly behind the saints jewelery, and it is one more way that the enemy has snuck his way into popular culture. I see people wearing these EVERYWHERE now.  Knowledge is power guys.

As far as the beads go.. ITS DEMONIC!
