What is the meaning of the star on the cover of the WordSound&Power album? Is it a Satanic pentagram? My friends and I have been debating if this is an evil mark--Please help clarify this issue.

The Star on the album cover of "WordSound&Power" is not a Satanic (5 pointed) pentegram. It is the 6 pointed "STAR OF DAVID." According to history books and even the Webster's Dictionary, the Star of David was first used as the official Seal of King Solomon (from the Old Testament). It was later used as a representation of the entire Old Testament, the Jewish faith, and was a symbol used by early Christians in the first century. It can presently be found on the flag of the nation of Israel. It is a symbol that is accepted by most Christians in the world today.

Note: For Thousands of years this symbol has been a representation of the Jews (God's Chosen People). Christ was the King of the Jews and we as Christians are Jews (spiritually). We have been grafted onto the vine and are the spiritual seed of Abraham. For in Romans it states that being a Jew is not a physical issue, but a spiritual one-- a matter of circumcision of the heart. Again, as Christians, though many of us are not of a physical Jewish heritage, we have been grafted onto the vine and it is clear that a true Jew is anyone that loves the Lord. Although we may call ourselves Christians, we cannot forget the Old Testament. To many believers, this star is a symbol that reminds them of this text and God's promises to all believers. I personally like the "Jews for Jesus" Symbol that has a Star of David with a cross in the center. To me this symbol represents the union of both the Old and New Testaments.

Beyond this, I have never heard of any "Satanic" origin of this symbol. Again, I think that you must be confusing the 6 pointed star with the 5 pointed one (pentagram). An upside-down five pointed star in a circle (symbolizing a goat's head) has long been a pagan symbol representing the satanic church.

I hope that I have answered the question to your satisfaction.
