Complete the Ring in Prayer is Cultic

Did you know something that all occultists know, that "complete the ring" is required to call the spirits of dead people into the room during a seance?

Have you ever asked the question why some Christians hold hands in ring fashion around the table when they are saying the blessing?

I began to question this practice as I do all practices with the desire to know where they originate and whether or not they are Biblical or have value. Did God institute this practice of hand-holding or was it incorporated from paganism?

The devil seems to love making up rituals that detract Christians from worshiping Christ in Spirit and in truth. The best way to distract a person from Christ is to give them a ritual that makes them focus on the fuzzy feelings of the ritual instead of on Christ. The more emotionally happy a ritual is the more people tend to want to keep it. Letting go of it makes them feel as though they are doing something wrong. They will even judge others who don't do those rituals.

Next time someone says, "let's join hands in prayer", simply quietly and humbly decline to do it and watch what happens. Some of the people in the group will think badly of you for not participating in the ritual.

If we are not thinking and we are just doing rituals we are A-musing" meaning not to think. This is what amusement is about, watching something without thinking has a more brainwashing effect than when we have to think.

Hollywood has promoted for years the hand-holding at the table when the families pray and notice those families are usually Catholic.

Christians rarely ask why we do certain things because those things seem so warm and fuzzy. My concern is that the Christian community is often emulating the occult when they do rituals or practices that have no basis in Scripture. They don't know what they are doing, but that's the sad thing, why are they not asking the question; "why do we do this."

When we analyze all the rituals Christians have adopted in the church it is astounding how many come from paganism and cultic sources.

What do Christians think is happening when they hold hands to pray? Do they think there is more power in the prayer, that would be occultic? Do they think they can connect with the people around the table in more solidarity, that would be man-centered? Do they think there is more of a connection to God for practicing this ritual, which would be sorcery?

Matthew 6:7-8 "And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."

Colossians 2:8

"See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ."

Matthew 15:3

"He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?"

John 8:32

"And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

A challenge to the believer might be that whenever we see a Christian ritual, actions that we take we think are for God, we ask Him if this is His idea or another unbiblical ritual that does not please Him.

By the way, there is no insignificant action, they all produce feelings and a mindset either for God or for the ritual.
