In the physical arena a “gate” (gateway) is an entity through which one moves from one geographical location into another geographical location.  The same concept applies in the social arena.  A good example is when a college degree serves as a gate(way) that opens to the graduate the opportunity for a better life.  In this drug-crazed world we are told by those who know about such things that there is a certain chemical that serves as a “gateway drug” that causes the user to crave more powerful drugs.  This gateway drug–marijuana–serves as the “door” to a “room” filled with ever more powerful drugs that enable the user to escape ever further from the real world and into a world where he feels comfortable.

The gateway principle also applies to matters of the spirit.  Satan has a spiritual “room” filled with numerous types of sin.  The door (gateway) to this room is Biblically identified as idolatry.  The Almighty makes this clear in the Ten Commandments.  In the Lord’s rules for life He makes perfectly clear what is the most important rule by which human beings must live in order to be His people and for Him to be their God.  His first and most important commandment is as follows: “You will have no other gods before (beside) Me.”  God will share His exalted position with no one.  In His eyes one is either all-in or all-out.  One is either hot or cold.  One is either right or wrong.  One either obeys His Law (Ten Commandments) or doesn’t.  ONE IS EITHER HOLY OR UNHOLY.   As the Apostle Peter makes clear in his second epistle, those in God’s church are continually being judged relative to their spiritual standing before the Lord, and “ONLY THE RIGHTEOUS WILL BE SAVED, AND THEY JUST BARELY” (4:17,18).

The human being will, at some point in life, enter the gateway (door) to Satan’s sin-filled “room” and make himself at home.  For salvation seekers the  “room” is Catholicism/Protestantism where the devil makes the sinner spiritually comfortable and secure in his sinful state by convincing him that his sins are “natural” due to Adam’s supposed sin-transferal miracle.  Adam and Eve were his first victims.  They entered the “gateway” (door) to sin when they made the decision to defy God.  Their sin, as with all sin, took place in their minds (“hearts”) before their first step on their way to the middle of the Garden of Eden where stood the forbidden tree.  Sin takes place in the mind (Jam. 1:15) when desire unites with determination to fulfill the desire.  Doing what one has determined to do doubles the sin.  And we have all done this.

The human being will at some point in time enter Satan’s gateway leading to his sin-filled room.  As He tells us, “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23).  Only a few, Jesus tells us in Matthew 7:13,14, will exit Satan’s room (counterfeit church–wide gate) and enter God’s room (His church–strait gate) through the “door”–Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd (Jn. 10:11,17).  God calls those who choose to enter His room His “Elect.”  The elect who choose to obey Him completely are called His “Very Elect.”  It is His Very Elect who will join Him in the clouds upon His Second Advent.  From there they will descend with Him to the Mt. of Olives, then walk with Him into Jerusalem where He will establish the Kingdom of God.  Read The Three Resurrections, The Kingdom of God and God’s Very Elect: Future Caretakers of the Universe.  Key words–Resurrections, Kingdom and Caretakers respectively.  God’s Very Elect, also known as His “Little Flock” and His “Remnant,” will spend eternity with Him in paradise where they will sit with Jesus on His throne (Rev. 3:21).

This website was established by God for the purpose of revealing to those in Satan’s church system what “gate” they have entered and what fills the “room” (church) they have been lured into.  Readers also learn how they are made to feel spiritually comfortable by the “door” keepers (false prophets) who present themselves as “ministers of righteousness” (2 Cor. 11:13-15).  Jesus warned salvation seekers about Satan’s helpers in Matthew 24:4,5.  The method by which the angel of light and his ministers of righteousness make seekers feel comfortable is simple and works almost every time–they give them what they want.  Just as Adam and Eve desired to be self-directed, so does every human being ever born.  And at some point in our lives each of us acts on that desire.

At some point we all enter Satan’s church (“room”) which is filled with religious beliefs and practices that makes us “know” that we are right with God.  Recall that, due to the Serpent’s (Satan’s) convincing words, Adam and Eve thought they could eat of the forbidden tree and live forever in Eden’s garden paradise forever.  Having been lured into the Serpent’s “room,” they were convinced that they could DO AS THEY PLEASED and would “… not surely die”–they would live forever.  The Serpent convinced them that, due to their standing with God as members of the Church of Eden, the wages of their sins would not be death, as He had warned, but rather eternal life as the Serpent had promised.  Sound familiar?  Listen to Satan’s false prophets preach their cult’s perverted version of God’s Word.  See the Introduction to this website to see a list some of the perverse “Bible truths” they proclaim to be straight from the mind of God.  Most of those “truths” were borrowed from Babylonian mystery religions.  The Apostle Paul confronted this problem in his letter to the churches in Galatia (1:6-9).  He and the other apostles spent their ministerial lives warning the church to reject such “truths.”  God’s apostles continue to do so today.  L.J.
