There is a darkness within myself that i cannot see past or into. If i find a light within me i will grab ahold of it and venture into this darkness. Maybe i will find the source of the voices or finally see the faces that haunt my dreams. Then i will defeat these demons and send them back to the pits from which they came. But first i must find a light. If i do not, then darkness will be all that i am.
Gothic refers to a Romantic literary style which can include supernatural aspects, particularly vampires. This is because many of these stories are set in locales with Gothic architecture. Gothic literature shouldn't be confused with texts in the Gothic language, the earliest written Germanic language, which includes the Codex Argentius, a translation of parts of the New Testament.
GOTHICS ARE NOT DEVIL WORSHIPERS!
The Lord is a jealous and avenging God; the Lord takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The Lord takes vengeance on his foes and maintains his wrath against his enemies. The Lord is slow to anger and great in power; the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished... Who can withstand his indignation? Who can endure his fierce anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; the rocks are shattered before him. The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust him, but ... he will pursue his foes into darkness.
The wrath of God isn't a popular subject. Most people don't like to think about it, and most preachers don't like to talk about it. We like a sweet message of love, love, and more love, not a rough, terrifying message of judgment.
Like it or not, the Lord isn't tame. He isn't safe. God is love, true enough, but his love doesn't mean his wrath isn't real or that he lets us all get away with whatever we feel like doing. The Lord is slow to anger, says Nahum, but he's also great in power, and he won't let the guilty go unpunished. He's good, he cares for those who trust him, but his enemies he will pursue into utter darkness.
When people don't take God seriously, there's a price to pay.
