Deceitful Workers: Carlos Santana
Grace and peace to a peculiar people, and greetings to the rest of the world.
As Christians, we know that Roman Catholicism is not Christianity, but is, in fact, the ancient, pagan, Babylonian worship of the goddess, Semiramis, and her husband, Nimrod. In fact, the Bible calls the Roman Catholic church “Mystery Babylon, the mother of all harlots and abominations of the earth.” This means it is the fount from which all idolatrous religions flow. It is for this reason that Roman Catholics are generally very comfortable in the company of others not of their religion, and quite often an individual raised a Roman Catholic will practice another religion, yet still claim to be a Roman Catholic.
For example, I was once involved with a Roman Catholic who also practiced Buddhism. In fact, she had a small, wooden Buddhist shrine in her closet similar to the one Angela Basset used when she played Tina Turner in the movie loosely based on her life. Yet, this woman claimed to be a Roman Catholic, and even had small figurines of saints in her house. She had no problem reconciling Buddhism with her Roman Catholic faith. There is a reason for this: Roman Catholicism and Buddhism both have the same origin: Babylon.
I was reminded of that fact today when, as I was cleaning up my office, I came across a magazine promoting the annual Tollwood music festival held each year here in Munich. This year, several well-known artists were slated to perform including George Benson; ZZ Top; Crosby, Stills, and Nash; and Carlos Santana. I was going to throw the magazine away, but decided to flip through the pages first. As I was doing so, I happened upon the following spread of Mr. Santana:
You may notice he is wearing what appears to be a Roman Catholic saint medal around his neck. This is nothing unusual, as many Roman Catholics wear a medal of their favorite patron saint around their necks. It is idolatry, but it is common. But look closely at the symbol on Santana’s guitar neck just visible below his left index finger. Do you recognize it? I did. It is the symbol below:
This symbol is known both as Brahma, the chief deity in the Hindu pantheon, and as Aum, Om or Ohm. It represents the Hindu Trinity. In reality, Ohm is a demon.
Can Carlos Santana, a Roman Catholic, also be into Hinduism? Well, his use of this symbol would seem to suggest this. The video below also presents a strong argument that Carlos Santana is into spiritism and even devil worship:
Incredibly, Santana says that “the energy of the angels and the devils is the same energy. It’s how you use it.” What an interesting statement for a Roman Catholic to make! Did you know that this was the same message of the movie Star Wars? Notice that both the “good” Jedi Knights and the “evil” Darth Vader used the force, but whereas the former used it for “good,” the latter used it for “evil.” What Santana is really saying is that there is no such thing as good and evil, or moral and immoral. It is your intentions that makes the difference. An action is only wrong if you meant to do wrong. If you meant to do “good,” then no matter what you did, you were right because you thought you were doing right.
This teaching can be found in a New Age book (that just happens to promote Hinduism) called Secret Societies and Their Power in the Twentieth Century. Concerning good and evil, the author says this:
“The terms good or bad, valuable or worthless are not justified and at best are expressions of our own subjectivity.”
Secret Societies and Their Power in the Twentieth Century, p. 340
This is the core teaching of Values Clarification, a Humanist doctrine. It is actually Satanism. Values Clarification teaches that whatever you believe to be right is right, so long as you believe it to be right, and you came to that realization without any outside help from anyone else, especially parents or the clergy. You can read more about it here.
In saying that the energy of the devils and angels is the same, Santana is saying that the angels and devils are themselves the same. The Bible says that angels are sinless, and, therefore, good, while the devils are sinful, and, therefore, evil. Therefore, if angels and devils are the same, then there is no good and evil. If there is no good and evil, then there is no God and there is no Devil, because God and the Devil are the personifications of good and evil. If there is no God and no Devil, then, who makes the rules? We do. And that is what Santana is really saying: that we are gods. Interestingly, according to this video, John McLaughlin, with whom Santana collaborated, also said that his goal was to “make everyone aware of his own divinity.”
Why is this important? It is important because Santana says that the demons that gave him his message told him that it is intended for high school and college children. And in that he is enjoying huge commercial success, it’s a good bet that his message has been well-received. But get this: while Carlos Santana embraces Humanism, spiritism, Eastern Mysticism, and even devil worship, and promotes this poison to our children, he is still very much a Roman Catholic. He makes that crystal clear by wearing that Roman Catholic saint medal around his neck. That means his actions are endorsed by the Roman Catholic church. Don’t you doubt that for one minute.
Now, if Roman Catholicism is Christianity, why do Roman Catholics, like Carlos Santana, embrace pagan religions like Buddhism and Hinduism, which worship idols? The Bible says,
“What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say that the things that the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. “Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be the partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.”
1 Corinthians 10:19-21
The message is clear: idolatry is devil worship. Why, then, do Roman Catholics, like Carlos Santana, embrace Hinduism? Simple: because Roman Catholicism, like Hinduism, is idolatry. They get along like peas and carrots.
Carlos Santana is on a mission, which he makes very plain: “To validate angels and devils with the same reverence.” Incidentally, it is believed that Santana also practices Santeria, which is a mixture of Roman Catholicism and Yoruba, an African religion. In fact, it is said that Santana has “incorporated Orisha themes and rhythms into several songs, including ‘Hannibal,’ which includes a Yoruba chant to Shango.” Orishas are demons, and Shango is an Orisha. Ironically, the Roman Catholic with whom I was once involved, and who was a practicing Buddhist, also practiced Santeria. Now, if Roman Catholicism is Christianity, and Carlos Santana is a Roman Catholic, shouldn’t there be a conflict of interest? You bet there should be. The fact that there isn’t, however, should be a red flag for you. It certainly was for me.
Carlos Santana is leading millions of impressionable young people down the primrose path to perdition. If you or your children are a fan of Carlos Santana, you now know what he really believes and who he really works for. You now have a decision to make.
If you are a Roman Catholic, you should know that you are not pleasing the Lord Jesus by worshipping the idol known as Mary. When you meet him at the Great White Throne Judgment–and you will–you will hear Him say,
“Depart from me, ye wicked, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels!”
Matthew 25:41
And no one, not even Mary, will be able to save you.
