There are two Gods in the universe: (1) the God of the universe (Gen. 1:1) and (2) the god of the world (2 Cor. 4:4). The Bible characterizes both of these powerful beings in detail. Most professing Christians know about God #1 but do not know Him personally which requires in-depth Bible study followed by total obedience to what He said. These are the church people the Apostle John wrote about in 1 John 2:3-6 concerning Jesus Christ: “And hereby we know that we know Him–if we keep (obey) His (ten) commandments. He that says ‘I know Him’ but does not keep His commandments is a liar and the Truth (God’s Word-Jn. 17:17) is not in him. But whosoever keeps His Word (Law), in him verily (surely) is the love of God perfected, hereby we know that we are in Him. He that says he abides in Him must himself also walk as He walked (while on earth).” The Scriptures make it clear that in order to spend eternity with Christ we must KNOW HIM, HAVE GOD’S LOVE AND KEEP HIS LAW. These three facts are conjoined so that there can be no separation among them. To know Them is to love Them; to love Them is to obey Them. There is no other Scriptural path to Their eternal kingdom.

John’s Words, written under the power of the Holy Spirit, makes it clear that KNOWING JESUS requires that we KEEP HIS LAW by which HIS LOVE is perfected in us. The first two commandments, upon which the entire Bible (Law) rests (Mt. 22:36-40), require that we love God and love our fellow man. If we obey those two commandments we will never sin. But to obey the Bible we must know what is written therein. This is where Satan uses his Catholic/Protestant religious system–his Golden Calf/safe space–to draw salvation seekers away from the true God and to himself. The ruse involves the Law and the cross.

One of the first lies we are taught in Satan’s Sunday School System is that the Law was nailed to the cross when Jesus was crucified. In the series titled The Two Laws of God I prove Scripturally that this is a Satanic lie designed to draw Biblically ignorant parishioners away from the Lord by offering them an easier way to eternal life. This Scriptural trickery has a long and successful history going back to the Garden of Eden where the Serpent convinced Adam and Eve that they could eat of the forbidden tree (sin) and “… not surely die” (live forever).  He would later convince religious man that Adam’s sin had been automatically passed on to them at conception.  According to Satan’s theology, all men were born with sin in their spiritual dna where it remained until death. Having convinced churchmen that sin was a normal and unavoidable part of his life, he then convinced them that Jesus died so that they could sin and get away with it. A more user-friendly religion cannot be found on earth. The church eagerly embraced the lie, declaring it to be “God’s truth.”

Satan’s next job was to blind religious man’s eyes to God’s Scriptures which would reveal the facts about the Law being nailed to the cross, man inheriting Adam’s sin and the sin-and-live forever ruse. Because   of the printed Bible being spread throughout the world, hiding the Truth from the church had become a major problem for Satan.  Satan’s first attempt to conceal the Truth from Truth seekers came through the Catholic Church which forbad its parishioners from owning a Bible, reading It or hearing It being read. In order to keep the people totally ignorant of God’s Word, Catholic priests preached in Latin, a language which only they knew. This worked well in keeping Catholics ignorant of the Scriptures. But then parishioners began to leave Catholicism in protest, calling themselves Protestants. Being no longer under Catholic rule, these people gained access to God’s Truth and began to spread It around the world.

With the spread of the Truth globally, Satan found himself with a new problem. How was he going to prevent the Protestants, who now had access to the Truth,  from learning It, and even worse, believing and obeying It? The solution was simple. He would take a page from his Eden strategy. He soon convinced the Protestants that they need not study the Scriptures for themselves, that they needed only listen to his false prophets who would tell them all they needed to know. In this way Satan’s Golden Calf/safe space quickly filled with parishioners who had other, more important things to do than study the Bible.  To say that he was successful is a galactic understatement.

Satan’s false prophets, who themselves knew only what their false prophets had told them, soon came to be viewed as the ONLY purveyers of Scriptural Truth. Anything other than what they preached was automatically labeled “heresy” and those who spoke it “heretics.”  Through the devil’s religious manipulations the world’s largest religious body soon evolved into the two-headed religious beast today known as  “the church.” As we approach that church’s two most cherished holidays we can witness the incredible power that Satan wields over not only his church, but also the societies in which he has placed them. As soon as the Counterfeit Church gets past the Christmas Season, during which she pays homage to Satan’s messiah, she will begin preparing for Easter–her annual holiday held in honor of the Goddess of Fertility. See the series titled Christmas and Easter respectively for more information concerning these two heathen celebrations which professing Christianity borrowed from the ancient Babylonian mystery religions.
