HOW DO YOU KNOW SATAN AND HIS DESTINATION HELL …



SATAN IS THE “FATHER OF LIES”!

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU BELIEVE!

(Do you believe that?? ( )

Our beliefs are a powerful driving force; they determine who we are and what we do. And sadly they are often wrong and easily manipulated. We need to be careful and not just go with the flow of the masses.

• Did you know that for 30 years people thought that drinking radiation water was good for them? It was sold in bottles: Radithor.

• Think bacon and eggs has always been the “all American breakfast”? Nope, it’s an incredible propaganda victory. (google Edward Burnays)

But what we believe about God’s truth is far more important because it will determine our eternal destiny. The “church” has been wrong many times too (killing Jews, racism, slavery). Only the Bible can be trusted. Be careful to get your truth straight from the Bible not from man’s interpretation of it. And don’t be afraid to follow God. He loves you and wants what’s best for you.

Satan’s biggest lie “there is no God”. The Bible actually says God does not usually want to prove himself to people but He is looking for sincere people willing to seek the truth by faith. (See Jeremiah 29:13, Acts 17:27, Heb 11:6). Creation and our conscience point to a creator but a sinful man will not seek Him: Psalms 10:4 In his pride the wicked does not seek him

So God has hidden Himself, that’s why it’s easy for people to believe this lie. But they have to come up with some crazy ideas for how we got here, which take far more faith. They see a pattern in creation and extrapolate to absurdities. It’s like looking at a phone and a stereo and concluding they both came from watch. The ultimate origin is a real mystery so it’s all by faith. Some even propose aliens (and who knows where they came from).

“No one knows how it got started” Richard Dawkins (2008 “Expelled” documentary)

“That’s a great mystery” Bill Nye, the science guy (debate with Ken Ham)

“[that] is an unanswerable question” Carl Sagan (Cosmos) SEE IT’S BLIND FAITH!!

It does take effort, but IF you sincerely seek the truth you’ll find the Bible is easy to believe in. Since Satan is such a deceiver it’s not surprising to find so much deception in various religions. But there is no other book like the Bible. Usually religions are created by a few people making claims and telling stories. There is no compelling evidence at all. They are spread by deception, cultural traditions or force (ISIS).

The Bible is very unique in these ways:

Vastness. Unlike any other book, the bible was written over a 1500 year time period (5 times longer than the age of the U.S.) by over 40 different people on 3 continents, yet congruent with one verifiable story. Other religious books are typically written by one person in their lifetime.

Verifiability. It is filled with stories of ancient peoples and events from over 4000 years ago that are regularly verified by archeology and history as true events. Other religious books only cover short recent periods of history, or contain unverifiable stories.

Prophesy. The Bible has many specific prophesies that were fulfilled 100’s of years later. The book of Daniel (written 600 B.C.) predicted the next 400 years of world kingdoms. It has information that was only known in 600 B.C., indicating it was written then but critics still try to say it was written later to avoid explaining these exact prophesies. But even if you read Isaiah 53 or Daniel 9 knowing they are proven by critics to be written before at least 153 B.C., you’ll see they talk about Jesus clearly before He was born. Daniel 9:25 also predicts the year of Jesus’ coming. It was 483 years (69 sevens) after a decree to rebuild Jerusalem (458 BC per Ezra 7:11-26). 30 A.D. is 483 years later. Some prophesies have even been fulfilled in our time (persecution of Israel which is reborn in a day and a burden to the nations, the explosion of knowledge, instant worldwide communication of Rev. 11:9). Some are in-work to soon be fulfilled (one world religion and government, mark on the hand needed to buy and sell).

Sincere Leaders. Many Old Testament prophets, Jesus and the disciples were killed for their message, showing sincere motives. No other major religious leader (not followers) voluntarily died for his message.

Teaching. It has unique teaching on sin, forgiveness, peace, love and wisdom that heals the soul and makes sense of a fallen world. It tells of a loving God that wants good for us but also of a hateful Satan/Devil that hates us. Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy and we see plenty of that. But we also see beauty in the world and good in people sometimes. When we follow what the Bible says, things work out better. Like love and forgiveness to our fellowman, morality, order, helping others, honesty. You can see how a loving God would want these things.

Summary of deceptions preventing belief in God:

(Given very briefly for you to consider a side you may not have seen, since

the Christian side is not often presented in mainstream sources.)

⇨ Enjoying sin & don’t want to think about it. It’s important! Please do. Satan offers many temptations, but they are all harmful counterfeits to the good and decent things God has. E.g. marriage vs immorality.

⇨ Church Hypocrisy, problems, wars, etc. See 2 Timothy 4:3, Rev 3:14. Sadly, many churches are lukewarm as the Bible predicted in end times. People pervert the truth all the time. Follow only the Bible.

⇨ Various “historical” documentaries and Movies. Archeology overwhelmingly supports the Bible. But it deals with fragmented or sometimes inaccurate archeological information. Remember written language itself was developing during these times and there was no universal dating system. So critics can quickly develop skewed opinions with the unclear areas. Many times they have thought the Bible was wrong, only to find later it wasn’t. e.g. For centuries they thought the Bible was wrong because it mentions Belshazzar as king of Babylon and everyone knew it was Nabonidus. Other details were off too. Then in 1882 they found a small detail on the “Nabonidus Cylinders” which clarified it all. Nabonidus left his reign to his son Belshazzar as co-regent while he was away most of his reign. That’s why Daniel became the “third ruler of the kingdom” (Daniel 5:29) and not the second. The cylinders were buried and forgotten and this detail was lost to ancient historians as Babylon was destroyed. Historians just 100 years later (Herodotus, Megasthenes, Berossus) mention only Nabonidus. This gives credibility to the Book of Daniel and it’s prophesies because it must have been written close to the events before the detail was lost.

⇨ Evolution casts doubt that there is a god.

Evolution has so many flaws that are not revealed in popular media and education outlets. They fight hard politically to suppress this from being taught. When you look deeper you see it’s just a well-guarded propaganda machine. This is detailed in the documentary “expelled”.

1. Life has never come from non-life! Even the famous Miller-Euric “primordial soup” theory has been proven impossible.

2. The well-known example of a horse turning into a giraffe by generations of stretching their neck, lamarkism, is also abandoned.

3. Darwin’s theory, change by natural selection alone, has been proven inept so they’ve added mutation, called neo-Darwinism. But mutations are harmful and have never been shown to do anything except alter existing information, ie an extra foot, not create new features. There is no known process to add new information to the DNA code and no new beneficial information has ever been found. This is crucial to the process of evolution so belief is by faith.

4. If evolution were true “Missing link” fossils should be very abundant, but they are non-existent except for a few propped-up ones.

5. DNA research has shown that creatures have built-into their DNA (by the creator) a wealth of information that allows them to speciate within a kind. (E.g. produce many types of dogs and wolves but not cats). Evolutionists name this “micro-evolution”, and use it for their examples, touting that evolution is proven true. But it’s not evolution as we know it. It is actually a complex creation. True evolution is never found.

6. Cells, organisms, and even the whole world eco system are made of many integrated parts that can’t survive alone. They had to be created whole or they would have died. But the odds of even one cell, the smallest of these systems, all coming together is 1:1x10137,000 (that’s a number that is a hundred and thirty thousand zeros long, a million to one shot is 1:1x106). The cell is much more complicated than Darwin could have ever imagined. It’s basically a mini-city. Google an image of “metabolic pathways” if you want to blow your mind. The Expelled documentary also has a good animation of what happens in a cell.

⇨ Killing in the Bible. God “resets” peoples when they become depraved – a miserable, hopeless condition where even innocents suffer (child abuse & sacrifice, disease). It won’t change so God ends the misery (by fire flood too). It was always limited to one time and place, it was not to be ongoing.

⇨ If there was a god, why is pain and suffering common? Satan, the “prince of this world” with some control, has brought suffering, death, etc, and man is free to obey God, who wants good, or Satan and evil.

⇨ Why doesn’t God prove Himself? Discussed earlier, He wants faith.

⇨ Isn’t the Bible full of errors? In spite of being written over 1500 years it actually isn’t. Critics usually just misunderstand this ancient book which was written in a totally different culture and writing style. E.g. Prophesies can have multiple fulfilments or come from different sources. Terms can mean different things (“father” can mean predecessor or great great grandfather).

The modern church lie: “Believing” in God is all that is required.

You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. … You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone. Read all James chapter 2

We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. (1 John 2:3-6)

There are many verses that say if you believe you will be saved, but later verses clarify that true belief will be followed by obedience. There are 60 other verses that support this and the church taught it for 1500 years. See our Facebook page “God Focused Homeschooling” on 1/13/2018 for more.

Sin is forgiven & not a big deal. Jesus said cut your hand off if it causes you to sin! (Matthew 18:8-9). “No one who lives in Him keeps on sinning” (1 John 3:7-10) He came to defeat sin by the Holy Spirit (Romans ch. 6 to 8).

“Eternal Security” can also lead to living in sin. However, true salvation will be shown by obedience and repentance and will bear fruit. (John 15)

So don’t be afraid to seek and obey God. When you sincerely follow His ways your conscience will be clear and you’ll have peace and joy. There can be times of persecution and we are not exempt from those who follow Satan’s evil ways. But overall it’s be much better way to live!!
