“If you can’t beat them, make them believe you’ve joined them.”
Deception, deceits and divisiveness, these are the tools of our adversary, they are the tools he implemented in heaven, in the garden of Eden, with the children of Israel and with every person who has been born-again.
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” (Heb. 2:14)
You would be hard pressed to find a church today that has not been infiltrated by the world, and since the world is still under the power of Satan, I mean here by him. Subtle, almost innocuous trickery that those who are not Spiritually discerning fail to recognize.
One of the clearest is the sign outside of these churches that states, “All are welcome,” for it sounds right and proper, does it not? Invite the sinner to the service, perhaps something in the message will convict that person, in total disregard to 2 Peter 2:13b.
“Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;”
Inviting them to your home, the wicked, or those of a works based religious ideology, polite and charitable, forgetting 2nd John 1:10.
“If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:”
Enabling those who could work, those who have repeatedly shown they have no desire to stand on their own two feet, calling their addictions a disease. Loving and kind, but not in line with 2nd Thessalonians 3:10.
“For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.”
Everything possible to make it sound as if he truly has joined our ranks, and those that are blessed to see through the deceptions, the lies, are called uncaring, unloving, even branded as haters, for are we not to love our neighbor as ourselves? And with the deceits comes the divisions, for the one who stands on the Word of God is seen as one who takes the letter, the intent of the Scriptures, far too literally.
Ask any man of God who has set his face like a flint to obey in love, and he will tell you of his continual frustrations, the wicked hating him for telling them they are sinners in need of repentance, and those who may or may not truly be their brothers and sisters in Christ telling him that he is too strict in his interpretations of the Word of God, that love should be the motivating factor.
My friends, believe this truth, without logical, deductive reasoning, love can be misused in terrible ways.
The proof of this truth can easily be seen, love for the sake of love is foolishness, and will almost always be misplaced, love offered in wisdom for the glory of God always seeks the truths of the Word of God first, never varying from those truths.
“Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.” (John 6:26)
How many times will you offer that same vagrant on the street money before you realize it is not love that motivates you anymore, but a form, a misplaced feeling, of responsibility towards him? Will you sit in the same pew, or even the same church where homosexuals are welcomed? Shall the Romanist, the cults of religions based on works be allowed to be a part of your mission establishment to the poor and indigent?
Why not allow the Church of Satan to assist you in those efforts as well?
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” (2nd Cor. 6:14)
Is it any wonder that men such as myself live a life of nearly constant frustrations? Subtlety is the craft of Satan, and he uses it best on those who believe it feels right, even Christians to perform those deeds, while those who know better are ostracized from the assembly.
You decide, are these Letters of Truth or not?
