Satan's Plan: The Church

So Satan's plan to impact Christ's seedline went bust.  Neither through Cain, nor the Fallen Angels did it alter God's prevailing plan.  Satan's other end run has been to impact God's message.  From the 1st earth age to the Garden of Eden throughout all of history the evidence of Satan's twisting of Truth is abound.  Should it surprise anyone who studies God's Word to know that Satan has infiltrated the Church?

Again, Satan does not come in this evil bad guy role.  He compliments, cajoles, disarms, etc., etc., to twist truth and reality just enough to work in his favor.  The very traditions of men throughout history and especially today are fraught with his handy work. 

II Corinthians 11:13-15  For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

The ministers of Satan present themselves as the ministers of Christ.  Little difference to any of the false prophets and teachers in history or than the Sadducees and Pharisees of Christ's time.

The Kenites impacted the writings as scribes to the Israelites I Chronicles 2:55.  The further away from the Manuscripts, the more diluted and misrepresented the Scriptures.  If you compare common translations of today's Bibles to that of even just the King James Bible it is heart stopping how changed and misrepresented the texts has become. 

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ:

Mark 7:9 And He said unto them, "Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."

The traditions of men with just even looking at "Easter" and "Christmas" celebrations in the Churches today is heartbreaking .... so much of what goes on is from pagan tradition in place of what God stipulated in His Word.  Through ignorance we have allowed Satan to take over these very practices.  Matthew 15:14; Hosea 4:6; James 1:5; Romans 16:17-20; I Peter 1:14-16

As mentioned in the post Christ Became Our Passover the laws were not what was nailed to the Cross but the blood ordinances.  Most churches today are misrepresenting that the Old Testament does not apply to us today.  This is so not the case nor is it scriptural.  The New Testament and Christ's teachings stipulate just the opposite. 

II Peter 2:1-3 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord That bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.  And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.  And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Matthew 23:26-28 speaks to the false teachers who white wash their deeds and work at making it seem so clean, wonderful, and righteous.

So why are the churches filled with people so blind to God's real Truth and so willing to listen to the false prophets who themselves are mislead?  Because it sounds good.  It sounds so sweet and so easy.  It doesn't make anyone feel uncomfortable or really responsible.  How do you tell if a church is teaching God's Truth?  1) Check out everything for yourself in God's Word to know what's Truth and what's false.  2) If they tell you more what they think and give you more written speech than God's Word and what He thinks, then you most likely need to search beyond them.  3) If they teach false traditions of men more than God's Truth, then they are not teaching Truth.  (partaking of an apple in the Garden of Eden, that you don't have to understand Revelation, that you are going to be "taken" in the end times and not to worry about anything (post forthcoming on the Rapture), that Easter tradition is Biblical and do not teach about Passover, they beg for money, they don't teach the Key of David, etc., etc., etc.)  Isaiah 30:8-17; Ezekiel 13; I Peter 2; II John 1:10-11; Matthew 24:11-24

Ezekiel 13:1-3 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, 'Hear ye the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord God; 'Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

II Timothy 4:1-5 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, Who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Out of the seven churches spoken of in Revelation only two of them was God pleased because only those two taught His Truth.  Be wiser than the Serpent.  Study God's Word for yourself so as not to be deceived!  God's judgment begins at the pulpit so even those meaning well will have to answer for their deception through their own ignorance.  We all individually answer for our own actions....we are all responsible for our own knowledge!

Jeremiah 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture! saith the Lord.

Jeremiah 23:30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal My words every one from his neighbor.

All of Jeremiah 23 addresses false prophets and fake preachers of God's Word.

I Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
