carman's witch invitation
One peaceful afternoon I picked up from my mailbox the strangest looking letter I'd ever seen, a chilling little envelope bordered with flying bats, and eerie serpents whose eyes were tinted green. The letter was addressed to me so as I opened it I froze. What I read turned my complexion three shades of blue. It said, 'My name is Isaac Horowitz. I'm a male witch, a warlock and I feel I need to spend some time with you.'Now as a Christian from a little church with God's call on my life, a man of faith and power with a challenge to grow I did what any saint would do in my situation. I tore it up said, 'Lord, no way I'm gonna go.' Then gently and methodically the Holy Spirit spoke and reminded me we're God's voice to our nation. It's the church's responsibility to witness, so reluctantly I accepted this witch's invitation.He had the house you'd expect, the old English cottage, a 'Nightmare on Elm Street' special right to the core, the overgrown ivy, the gate that creaked when opened, somehow you'd expect Freddy to answer this door. The doorbell rang, a hollow gong, the knob twisted then opened, and Isaac stood before me with a grin. His jet black hair and well trimmed beard flowed with his black silk clothes. My skin crawled as he said, 'Please come on in.'His house was filled with every occultic symbol you could fathom; Hanging pentagrams and horoscope signs, a Ouija board and dungeons and dragons game set on the table, a crystal ball with an incandescent shine. Then graciously he handed me some steaming herbal tea. Its presence caused my memory to jog...I thought of every horror flick I'd seen when I was a kid and thought 'man if you drink this stuff next day you'll be a frog.'Then he led me to a high backed chair as he meticulously began to unfold his scenario with evil patience. I was given a giant leather bound book jammed with newspaper clippings, thus the reason for this witch's invitation. With eagerness he pointed to each article with pride. He said, 'I healed this woman through a Babylonian chant; You see this man, I cured him while performing druid worship; I was paid to curse this man with AIDS by his aunt.'On and on, page after page, delightfully he flaunted each incident for an hour without a breath. He said, 'Do you realize through my understanding of the dark regions that I can make you rich or even curse someone to death?' I sat literally intimidated by his immensity in demon power while his face shone with a satanic arrogant bliss. Then placing his hands on the arms of my chair and leaning into my face he said, 'What can your God do to compete with this?'I knew then how Moses felt, when his rod turned to a serpent and the three Egyptian magicians did the same. It's as if you're sitting there in that stunned moment while your faith gets violated and all you feel is weak, powerless and lame. I desperately and deeply prayed saying, 'Jesus give me wisdom - I don't want to put you through some foolish test. Then a shaft of light shot through my soul igniting my eyes with fire. God stood me up and I threw the book back in his chest.I said 'Isaac, I'll not compare God's miracles versus Satan's - the issue's not God's kingdom and Satan's lair. The real comparison is the condition of your soul and the condition of mine, and you puppet of the devil, that I will compare. I said, My friend, one day they're coming for you - the soft associates in your incantations - the friendly demons you think you now control. The time will come when you'll be lying in bed wheezing like a dying animal and those spirits lay claim to the rights they own to your soul.''Then the room will grow dark, and the most hideous evil faces you ever seen will come flaming out of the floor with a yell! The vile informants that promised reincarnation will claw your spirit and victoriously drag your soul to hell!'Then I grabbed the book and said, 'In that moment which mantra, which incantation you gonna chant to tell them to leave you alone? I said, My friend, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt what I would say...'I'm bought with the blood of Jesus! Let me go!' 'I said, 'Isaac, when you tossed that book in my lap, you gloated with a sinister victory. You rejoiced when you saw your name in black and white. Now I rejoice, but not that your counsel of demons are subject to Jesus, but that my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life!' Then Isaac jumped up from his chair and screamed, 'You must leave now!' I said, 'I will, but one last obligation - Next time think twice before you rumble with a man of God!!! And by the way thanks for your.. uhh... witch's invitation.

I kinda wanna see the video redone to a 'present' day thing. The Special FX would be better, and that would be pretty cool to see. Nevertheless, I love this vid. Jesus wins in de end!

@ ArchangelNamed:I wonder why people feel compelled to defend it, since it's unbelievably silly. It attacks D&D as though it's some kind of satanic tool, it self-righteously promotes a cruel and breathtakingly inaccurate view of AIDS, and it's pretty obviously a polemic, trying to conflate all things liberal with some kindergarten fantasy of devil-worship.

OMG I love this song. I miss Carmen when he was cool. Before his self titled movie

Just for the record, the events in this video actuall took place in real life. An evangelist named Mario Murillo had an encounter with a witch just like this. In fact, it was his testimony was where he got the lyrics for this song.So to those who say Carmen is being prejudiced against a "religion" he knows nothing about, Carmen didn't just make this dialogue up, save the fact he rearranged some words to make it rhyme. Mario Murillo experienced it firsthand, this really happened.

Christianity is the only "system of belief's" to refute, because it holds the only truth... that is why they come and watch, to refute the only truth... you don't see people trying to refute the easter Bunny, or santa Clause... because we just know they aren't real... However, Christ... Christ they will always attack... HE IS TRUTH!

I'm a bit confused as to why people who don't believe in Christ bother watching such an obviously Christian video. I don't watch Buddhist, Muslim, or Wiccan material. I know I won't like it. Several people posted their disbelief here. If you truly don't believe it at all, why bother coming here and refuting it? It seems to me that you can't help yourselves and the one's you're really trying to convince of Christianity's "foolishness" and "predjudice" are yourselves. I know you'll disagree...

This video/song is great. It's like watching two penguins trying to fly higher than the other."Your beliefs are wacky and wrong! My beliefs are.. uh.. wacky and right! So there!"

What kind of sick fuck has the nerve to start bullshitting about a religion he knows nothing about. All of the shit he talks about is stereotypical and offensive and since when has dungeons and dragons equal occult? I saw this asshole on tv saying some pretty rude stuff about columbine and about safe sex. His ass is wider than his mouth and it's still leaking bullshit while he's singing this song.

Christians do accept responsibility for thier actions, BUT we also recognize that both God and Satan play a role in our everday lives. God can't use us unless we are willing to prepare ourselves through prayer and study and unless we are willing to be used.As for death, I'm glad to hear you're not scared. It's no kind of life to live in fear of anything, but I would submit that there has been a lot of literture by a lot of people about near death experiences. It's food for thought.

You're awfully confused, and missed my point entirely, sorry. I wasn't talking about death at all - I was talking about accepting responsibility for the things that happen in your life, rather than shifting all responsibility off on to the "master plan" and using it as an excuse to refuse to learn from mistakes or improve yourself.On the matter of death, I'm not scared of death, and no one should be, there's nothing after death, so what's to be scared of? Also, stay in school :) |
