2 Timothy 3:1-5 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
A Texas teenager is on trial after he beat, mutilated and killed a classmate in a satanic ritual.
Jose Reyes, 18, is facing a life sentence for the murder of Coriann Cervantes. The two attended Clear Path Alternative School in League City, TX.
Reyes invited Cervantes to an abandoned apartment in Houston for drinking and smoking marijuana along with Reyes friend Victor Alias. The two men then decided to use the 15-year-old girl for a sacrifice in a satanic ritual.
They beat the girl with the lid of a toilet tank and then stabbed her with a screwdriver before carving an upside down cross on her stomach. The two then proceeded to commit further mutilation of the body in connection with the ritual.
“They discussed the fact that Mr. Reyes had sold his soul to the devil, and if they ended up killing this teenager, that would also allow the 16-year-old to also sell his soul to the devil,” Assistant Harris County District Attorney John Jordan told reporters. “The teenager screamed, ‘Why are you doing this to me?’ During that time, they stopped her. It became a kidnapping and, ultimately, she was killed.”
“What happened in that vacant apartment was sadistic,” Jordan said. “What will eventually happen in the… courtroom will be justice.”
