AN IDENTITY CRISIS

  In the Garden of Eden, the serpent tricked Adam and Eve, and, instead of fleeing from the serpent, they were seduced by his enticing words and surrendered their will to the will of Satan.  The temptation was greater than their will to resist.  Had they remained faithful to the words of God, they would not have stumbled.  In their moment of weakness, however, their identity with God shifted to the serpent, and they believed that Satan was right and that God was wrong.  Instead of continuing in their faith in God, they aborted their union with God and Satan became their spiritual daddy.  God sought them out and forgave them for their sin, but the damage was done, and their children suffered for their decision.  They were forgiven, but they could not return to their sinless state.  Their lives were forever changed, and their lives were never "normal" again. 
   Forgiveness of sin does not mean that we become sinless, for we are faced with temptations every moment we live throughout our lifetimes.  But as we give in to temptation, we become exactly like Adam and Eve:  we trade our identity with God and then identify with Satan; and in our weakness, Satan becomes our spiritual daddy, for then we will fulfill the devil's will instead of the will of God.
   This is the story of being human.  Whom do we choose to follow, and whom do we choose to obey?
   God will forgive sin, yes, but there are still consequences for our behavior, just as there were consequences for the behavior of Adam and Eve.
   Going further, Cain murdered Abel because Cain's identity was with Satan, and he did the will of his spiritual daddy.
   Nimrod built the Tower of Babel in Babylon because Nimrod's identity was not with God; therefore, he identified with Satan and performed the will of his spiritual daddy.  Not only that, but Nimrod also convinced others to do likewise and the people identified with Satan instead of with God.
   Satan's will is the opposite of God.  Satan's will is to rob, kill and destroy, and he wants people to do likewise. 
   Sexually, God created men for women and women for men.  Satan, however, wants people to do the opposite, distort the truth of God, and do that which is unnatural.  People who participate in same-sex unions and same-sex marriages have their identity with Satan and they perform the will of their spiritual daddy.  Not only this, but they want to adopt children in order to teach little ones to be like them. 
   The same is true for people who engage in sex with children:  their identity is with Satan and they destroy the lives of innocent children, which pleases their spiritual daddy.
   The works of murderers, robbers, and thieves have their identity with Satan and they perform the will of their spiritual daddy, who is Satan. 
   Religious celibacy is also the will of Satan, for the devil does not want his ministers to do the will of God and marry properly; therefore, he tricks them to believe that they are serving God by not engaging in sex, when, in reality, they are following the will of their spiritual daddy, Lucifer, and denying themselves that which is natural.  For what do celibates do with there sexual energy from age eighteen until they are eighty?  Many become pedophiles and rape little boys behind the altars of religious institutions.
   People are suffering all over the world because of an identity crisis, which is the reason for evil behavior.  They have identified with Satan, instead of with God, and they are performing the will of their spiritual daddy, Lucifer.
   People refuse the truth of Christ because they do not want to lose their identity with Satan:  they do not want to give up their sins.
   People refuse the truth of Christ because they would need to surrender their identity with their religion, and they do not want to do that.
   Satan is proud, and people who identify with him are just as proud.  They are proud of their murders, same-sex unions, destruction of the lives of children, celibacy, religions, and proud because they believe they have slapped the face of God with their defiant behavior:  and they believe they are getting away with it, just as a thief believes he will never be caught.   Satan has seduced them to believe their behaviors are natural, and therefore justified, and they believe they will still get to heaven because God's opinion does not matter.  If they can do whatever they please in this life, then surely they will do whatever they please in their life after death. 
   When people hear the truth, but do not like or want the truth, their first emotion is anger because anger is the chief emotion of Satan; for the Bible identifies Satan as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. (I Peter 5:8)  And people roar when their identity is with Satan.
