WHO'S THE BOSS?

     But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:  in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.  (II Corinthians 4: 3,4)
     And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:  and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.  (Genesis 1: 25)
     When God created Adam (man) he was to have dominion over the earth.  Man was supposed to rule over the earth and be in charge; but when Adam (man) disobeyed God in the garden of Eden and made an agreement with the serpent (Satan), man lost his authority to the Devil.
     Therefore, Satan is the god of this world in which we live; and by his power of deception, he blinds the minds of people from believing the light of the glorious gospel of Christ.
     This earth is not the kingdom of God; for it became the kingdom of Satan in the garden of Eden.  Adam's transgression allowed Satan's rebellion against God to become the sin that would infect every human birth thereafter, even until this day.  This is original sin, for, As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.  (Romans 10:5)
     Look at this world and what do you see?  We see evil.  We see murder, envy, strife, contention, jealousy, lies, deceitfulness, lust, theft, corruption, haters, despisers, rape, incest, pedophilia, child prostitution, anger, pornography, disobedience. 
    We are born with these characteristics at birth because the pride of Satan is the same pride of us, from which we need salvation; for man has demonstrated these characteristics for more than 6000 years, throughout all generations, even now.  The world we live in will not get better:  it will get worse until the day of the Lord.
     The kingdom of God is not of this world, so when Jesus left Heaven and came to earth, the Lord was not welcome here.  Jesus stepped in enemy territory.  He stepped in man's world, which became a war zone.  Jesus is the Light and the Light shines in darkness and exposes the sins of man, and people did not want the Light shining on them and they hated Him.  Satan's army of haters believed if they could kill Christ, that would extinguish the Light.  But they were wrong.  They did not believe the Light would rise again.
    So then, whom do you believe?  Whom do you follow?  Who's the boss?
