Satan The Deceiver

April 12, 2016 by Keith Swift

All the religions of the world are the works of Satan, who is alive and well on planet earth.  He has been allowed by God to roam the earth.

Only Jesus can save.  But the great Deceiver, Satan, has pushed religion on mankind.  Satan created all the religions in order to lure people away from the Truth.  The great reality is that there are only two camps:

According to Jesus, there are two camps in the world.  Not oodles.  Not one, but two camps (John 3:16-19):

Camp one, is the camp already condemned (v.18b).
Camp two is the camp “who believes in Him” (v.16 + v.18a).  Simple.

1. he who does not believe has been judged already; shall perish.

2. whoever does believe in Him shall not perish; “is not condemned”

– See:  Writing About Religion

Faith in Christ to save you – is not a religion.  It is a personal relationship with God.  Following Christ is the norm that God wants for us — in order to be ready for the next life.

Think about it.  Do you want to follow Creator God, or do you want to incur His Almighty Just and Legal Wrath on That Day of Judgement?

Think about it.  Do you want to end up on the other side of life, and find out,there, that you were living a worthless life?  All that you have, all that you have gained, all that you can do, all that you have done and accomplished —- will be worthless when you come before Creator God.  All the fun, the fame, the power, the toys, the money… gone once this life is over.

If you have not received the pardon of salvation through Jesus Christ, then there is only judgement to come.   God, ¨Judge of ALL That Is and Is To Come¨… will in That Day pass sentence on you, ¨Condemned¨, forever.

What are you thinking?  To reject Christ here, is to choose to live eternity without Him.  Forever damned, forever without hope, forever without any blessing of God – all because you choose, here, to reject Christ.  What kind of thinking is that!

I am a careful thinker, a person who looks seriously at what is written in the Bible.  I have carefully considered the validity of these Scriptures.  I have examined the record.  I have looked at the evidences for the truth of the Bible, the truth of the gospel of Christ.  Have you?

Historical Evidences

Science, by God

This Man, Jesus

What kind of person goes all the way through his/her life without being damn sure he/she has thoroughly checked-out the claims of Christ?  What the..?!  Who would choose that?!

Are you that kind of person?  Or have you really, sincerely researched what Christ claims in the Bible?  It´s all there.  Nothing there is hidden from you to be able to see that Jesus is for real.  He is really who He claimed to be.  No doubt in my mind.

What about in yours?  You sure?  Have you really checked-it-out?  Or are you going to arrive before the Judge on That Day …unprepared, lackadaisical?  (Babylon dictionary: incurious, indifferent, unconcerned; faineant, indolent, lazy, slothful; idle, passive; emasculated; bum, dolittle, do-nothing, idler, lazybones, loafer, slouch, slug, slugabed).

It´s bad enough to just be a slouch, but, to pay for it for eternity?   You will get what you chose, but, is that really what you want?

Losing-out on the provision of redemption in Christ, missing-out on His free grace of forgiveness, and landing in Hell, is like —

  • dying of thirst 30 feet from an oasis of fountains and pools of water
  • seeing the light of the lighthouse through the storm and not heeding it
  • so, so unnecessary
  • so, so stupid.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and
purify your hearts, you double-minded.  – James 4:8

Have you been an honest seeker?  Have you rejected Christ?

So, is this what you want to be?

  • a rebel
  • a free thinker
  • whatever the hell you want to be
  • free of anyone telling you how to live
  • enslaved to your church dogma
  • a slouch who doesn’t care enough to look into the claims of Christ
  • totally deceived by atheist scientists
  • totally deceived by empty religion?
  • totally given-over to your sins
  • soaked in sin and following your depraved mind

Not me.  Standing before Almighty Creator God of All There Is, I want to hear Him say to me,

“Well done, my good and faithful servant.” -Matthew 25:21  NASB


 His master said to him, Well done, you upright (honorable, admirable) and faithful servant! You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little; I will put you in charge of much. Enter into and share the joy (the delight, the blessedness) which your master enjoys.  —Matthew 25:21  AMPC  (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)

Bentley – News on Todd Bentley

The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.

False Prophets

“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?

No Faith In Heaven

Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.

Christian Answers Regarding Islam

Christian Answers Regarding Islam 1. The Koran purports it does not contradict the Bible but supports it. The Koran declares that it was written to confirm the previous revelations and not to replace the Bible according to Sura 5:48 which says, “And We have sent down to you the Scripture with truth, authenticating what is […]

Biblical Homosexuality

…a Christian´s Perspective on Homosexuality Quoted from: http://www.indegayforum.org/news/show/31489.html Donny | April 18, 2008, 11:33am | # I’m up to the challenge of gay theology questions: In-hospitality towards others and “haughtiness” were the sins of Sodom. But Ezekiel is quite explicit about sexual sins being front and center as well. “Haughtiness” and the word “Gay” as […]

Inexplicable Joy

Heaven is a joyful place. That is hard for me to imagine… Everywhere I look around me, I see so many problems, issues and unresolved conflicts. But in heaven, they won’t exist anymore. There will only be joy because my sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.  One of the main things that describes being in heaven is JOY. The word “joy” has a much deeper meaning than just happiness. To be happy can change so quickly. It can come and go in a moment. But joy…

Letter to Danny

We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One.  And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and  we have to choose Truth over lies. 

Children’s Bible in a Nutshell

A quick overview of the Bible (tongue-in-cheek). A child was told to write a book report on the entire Bible. 

About Biblical Inerrancy

Would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Dumb idea! God brought everything together to form the Bible. Evidence is overpowering as you read what the Bible is, and what it tells us. “It is the history of the Bible that makes it unique among ‘sacred texts.’ See who wrote the Bible, how its reportive style is backed by archeology and historians…” – Quote from “Why You Can Believe the Bible” (www.everystudent.com).

Oh what a day that will be!
Wow! To enter into the Kingdom of God - freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no burden of sinfulness before Almighty Holy God. I can only imagine.

Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven
"The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” In 1 Corinthians 15:47 the Apostle Paul explained that Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man.  He was not a mere man, ever.

There Is Only One God
Getting tired of people flippantly saying, ¨Oh my god!¨ Ever wonder who their ¨god¨ is!? Does that ¨god¨ know he is ¨theirs¨? Do you say that? We are quite the god-makers, are we not! What do you mean…“your God”?

God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away…. “And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” –Psalm 121:8

When it comes to God, who wants mere opinions?
When talking “God” and “Truth” – I really do not care what you think. You should not care what I think. What matters is “what God thinks”.
Lost I Came To Him Oh the wonder of that love of our fathomless Creator, to save me in spite of my self-centered soul. Lost and rebellious, He chose me. Pursued and wooed, what mystery – grace. I said yes to Creator God. To know…
Time as it really is Since Heaven is not regulated by time, the passage of time on earth is a separate event. *We will all step out of time together – into God’s presence, with no “time lag”,…The time it takes to go from earth to God's presence - is instant. There is no waiting around in the next dimension for earth time to finish, no midway point of gathering, no Purgatory. It will be an instantaneous experience for all mankind that ever lived. At the moment of death, our soul instantly leaves....

No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy.... There is no room at all – for error – when it comes to being right with God. You are either all in, or you are all out. Are you sure you’re in?

Simple View of Life  a simple view of everything. God of Everything that is – created everything. We are very fortunate that He is loving and kind, and really, really wants us.
Ashamed of Yourself?
Ever done something you are ashamed of?  Come on now, you’re sitting there by yourself – ‘fess-up.  Nobody listenin’ to your brain confess.  So... Yes?  Scenario: “You have? What!?
Being Christian What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. For many, what the Bible teaches is generally okay, but, when it comes to certain specificities, what it says, they reason, needs to be interpreted in the light of today's enlightened realities. But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.
Tomorrow

Vortex of Good & Evil As mere humans, we are engulfed in the vortex of battle between good and evil. We must remember – it is God who created us, not we ourselves.  1.25.2017

God downloaded to earth ...inserted Himself into our history.  Jesus came to earth in order to satisfy the Courts of Heaven for our freedom. 3.23.2016

Cognitive Dissonance

Actually Try To Do The Deed 3.23.2016   “It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better."

What God Did for Man
…The Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. God walked the earth as a man. Have you ever wondered how it all got started – the universe, the earth, nature, animals, you and your “like”, mankind? 2.19.2018
The Bible is “able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation”
Do you honestly want to know how to get right with God?  Jesus promised He would save us for an eternity of only good, nothing bad. 9.31.2020

Claiming a sin as – God’s will for you

Nowadays we have way too many professing “Christians” who are confusing compassion and love for others with God’s marvelous grace. Many are now exchanging His grace for inclusivity.  They claim that God will accept certain sinners – in their sin – because they are exceptionally loving and kind. Is that biblical? Will God accept you because you are exceptionally loving?

What being “saved” means

Getting “saved” by Jesus, is 100% a thing of the heart. If your life doesn’t follow your confession, then you did not get saved. Simple. Tragic for many, many who live in error.

Why the tears, Paul?

What if you are wrong about following Jesus faithfully? What if Jesus is against what you practice in your faith?

Revelation 13: The activities of the beast. By Mark Creech

A pastor once said, “One day, the Lord will say to the world, ‘Alright, you have wanted the Devil’s way; you have preferred him over me, despite my countless warnings. Now I’m going to give him to you fully.’ One day “the restraining influence of true Christianity in creed and action will be withdrawn from the entire world, and out of the wicked sea of nations will arise “a Beast.” Ready for that?
