CHRIST, OR SATAN?

   Satan is willing for you to believe in anything you choose to believe---as long as you do not believe in Almighty God.
   Satan is a powerful creature, highly intelligent, and invisible to human eyes.  Like a snake, he operates in shadows and remains hidden.  Not wanting to be known, he is willing for people to take credit for the things they do while he remains anonymous. 
   Satan's realm of influence reaches every man, woman, and child upon the earth, and across the generations of human history.  He wants people to believe in people, not to believe in God.
   At the same time, Satan does not want you to believe that he exists.  Instead, he wants you to believe that he is no more than a myth, or a fairytale, and that you are perfectly normal for not agreeing with all the crazy people talking about a devil.  How silly is that!
   Are you looking for a religion?  Satan will help you find one.  After all, Satan wants you to believe that you are on your way to heaven, and all you need to validate your ticket to ride is to embrace a religion.  Therefore, Satan will help you find a religion that fits your comfort zone, your level of intelligence, your degree of education, and, of course, a religion to be with your friends, and a place that meets your social requirements. 
   Satan wants you to believe that it is o.k. for you to be you.  That it is o.k. for you to believe in the gods of the sun, moon, and stars.  That it is o.k. for you to worship idols and images, and to cling to relics such as jewelry or lucky charms.  That it is o.k. if you believe that people can become gods, or that certain people of the earth, even now, are gods---and thereby capable of forgiving sin as well as empowered to wash your sins away with water baptism or any other method of purification. 
   Satan will also agree that you can read and study any book upon the earth---as long as that book is not the Holy Bible. For Satan, the Holy Bible is forbidden fruit, and you should not read it because you will go astray, and your mind will be contaminated with myth and fairytale. 
   Beyond this, Satan will have you believing that Christians are trying to trick you.  That Christians are trying to lead you away from God, to lead you astray, and to get you to give up and come out of your religion.  To Satan, Christians are infidels---children of darkness---and you should have nothing to do with them.  In fact, according to Satan, Christians are worthy of death.  That Christians are simply not normal people and you should distance yourself from them as much as possible.  Satan will remind you of your baptism.  He will remind you of your salvation by a priest.  He will remind you of the day when you joined a religion and experienced goose bumps.  He will remind you of your education and how smart you are, and how you are such a natural fit in all of your social activities with all of your religious friends. 
   Neither does Satan want you to believe in all the evil of this world, nor to believe that there are evil people.  He wants you to focus on goodness and not ugliness. 
   Above all else, Satan does not want you to know that religion and false churches are Satan's favorite places.  Because Satan is invisible and because people do not believe in the reality of Satan, Satan is in the midst of all worship in those institutions, and the people do not know that Satan is there---which is precisely what Satan wants people to believe.  As the god of deception, Satan is being worshipped without the people knowing or believing that they are worshipping Satan.
   So now, do you believe that Christians are infidels?  That we are odd, or not normal?  As such, we tell the world about Christ as well as about Satan---while religion and false churches have nothing to say about Satan:  for Satan does not want himself revealed in religion and in false churches. 
   So then, will you believe in Christ, or will you believe in Satan, who is the god of religion and false churches? 
   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: 4)
