![WHAT CONSEQUENCES DO WE SEE FROM 65% OF PROFESSING CHRISTIANS NOT BELIEVING IN SATAN? [1 OF 3] Disbelief in a literal devil is so widely accepted in our world today that even 65% of the Christian Church wrongly agree there is no Satan—just what the Enemy wants. Imagine the even higher percentage in secular society. But those Christians can’t be reading their Bibles, because fallen-angel Lucifer is talked about all throughout Scripture, at the beginning in Genesis when he corrupts God’s first man and woman, and then all the way to the end when Revelation prophecies how Lucifer will corrupt the entire world, except for the new post-Rapture Christians. Why does the Bible warn so much about Satan? Because God is giving us a heads up, so we don't have to learn things the hard way. The wonderful truth for
Christians dealing with Satan and his demons is that Jesus Christ has
already given us total victory over the despicable tactics of the devil. With any dastardly deeds we Christians might come across, the power of Jesus allows us to command the compliance of evil entities to stop and flee. Satan's human helpers are not just hiding in their houses; all around our planet, everyday, they carry out satanic behavior. Why? Jesus makes it clear that Christians are of their Father God, but everyone who does not yet believe in Christ is a child of the devil, so even the average unsaved-person’s conduct will often reflect that nature. Then there are evil humans who have consciously decided to do Satan’s bidding as a way to receive power. And many of those people who
believe Lucifer should lead the world are out in society actively promoting
their beliefs. In fact, today satanists are even demanding we
accept their devil worship, and are on record admitting that
their goal is to replace Christianity with satanism. | image tagged in satanism,devil,evil,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5zhvzv.jpg)
![IS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE A DEADLY THE RELIGION? Yes! Followers are told not to go to a doctor under any circumstance, which has led to these statistics: “When Christian Scientists are compared with other groups that prohibit smoking and stress a healthy diet, the death rate was found to be over twice as high for the Christian Scientists. The death rate among Christian Scientist graduates who are male was four times greater and for females it was almost five times greater." So, the cult of Christian Science is not only a false teaching, it's a deadly one. Even today, people are dying by the tens of thousands because they follow this unbiblical faith. Here is more from Gerald Bergman, PHD, about the consequence for those practicing Christian Science—and for their children: "One of the more famous modern cases of death is that of two-year-old Robyn Twitchell who became violently ill in 1986 after a light supper. The Twitchell’s were practicing Christian Scientists and so did what good Christian Scientists do: they consulted
a Christian Science practitioner, read various publications about
how to deal with this illusion [happening to their two-year-old son.]; It is not easy to convince a two-year-old that pain and suffering do not exist, [so] Robyn continued crying and screaming in spite of the best “treatment” the church had to offer. On April 8 the boy died from peritonitis caused by a bowel obstruction from Meckel’s diverticulum. This condition can usually be treated by surgery without complications…” But the little boy died, something that happens to ten of thousands of Christian Scientists around the world because they are taught to believe that illnesses and injuries are not real. Even worse, this deadly religion teaches its followers that they do not need Christ as their Savior. So, the false faith can easily get its followers killed by telling them not to seek medical help, and then Christian Science’s claim that adherents should reject the free gift of salvation through Christ sends them to an eternity in hell when they die without having chosen Jesus. Who do you think is behind all that? Of course, it is just more
from the father of lies, Satan, who Jesus says is also a murderer
and has been one from the beginning (John, chapter 8). | image tagged in christian science,mary baker eddy,bible,cult,science,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5zaw3t.jpg)
![WHAT DID MARK TWAIN SAY ABOUT CHRISTIAN SCIENCE?
Gerald Bergman, PHD, wrote about the time Mark Twain encountered a Christian Science practitioner—and set her straight: “On a vacation Twain fell off a cliff in Austria and ‘broke some arms and legs and one thing or another.’ After being rescued by local peasants, he searched in vain for a doctor. Finally, a Christian Science practitioner was located who was vacationing in the village. Unable to come immediately she sent Twain the message to relax because there was nothing wrong with him, and his feelings of pain were ‘imagined,’ therefore he needed no treatment.
The practitioner, a large middle-aged woman with an austere face,
later came to help Twain deal with his imagined broken bones. When trying to convince Mr. Twain that the pain he was then experiencing didn’t exist, she accidentally raked her hand on a pin in her dress, said “ouch” in pain, then tranquilly went on trying to convince Mr. Twain that pain doesn’t exist. Needless to say, she failed to convince Mr. Twain that his bones did not hurt and there was no such thing as pain. Fortunately, Mr. Twain survived, no doubt because he found someone who was concerned with setting bones instead of selling a dangerous pseudoscientific religious philosophy. Mr. Twain’s
book is written to bring many chuckles, but the religion it discusses
is about the serious business of death. Many tragic deaths
have occurred due to [Mary Baker] Eddy’s teachings.” | image tagged in mark twain,christian science,cult,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5zavih.jpg)
![DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE FALSE RELIGION OF “CHRISTIAN” “SCIENCE”? [1 of 2] Founded by Mary Baker Eddy in 1879, Christian Science is not Christian and not Science—not even close. By both secular and biblical definitions, and like all other cults, they get their source of authority wrong: Instead of being a true Christian organization that trusts the Bible, they get their dominant beliefs and practices outside God’s Word. Whenever people get away from following our Creator’s plan, they end up being led by man's ideas and those of the murderous, lying demons that people connect with. Christian Science claims to follow the Bible, but then tweak and
contort Scripture to make it say what they want, choosing to follow
the false teachings of Mary Baker Eddy—their ultimate authority. Cults like Christian Science get life’s most important truths wrong, including the nature of man and God, the Trinity, the personal work of Jesus Christ, and the means of reaching a wonderful afterlife (salvation). Unfortunately, many famous people have been duped Christian Science, and those have probably caused millions of others to join. Among past Christian Scientists are Robin Williams, Kelsey Grammer, Val Kilmer, Ellen DeGeneres, Muppets creator Jim Henson, author Danielle Steel, singer Bruce Hornsby, and Metallica’s James Hetfield. Prominent Christian Scientists
from further back were Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Henry Fonda,
Robert Duval, Audrey Hepburn, Joan Crawford, Ginger Rodgers,
Carol Channing, Ernest Hemingway, Doris Day, and Jean Stapleton
from the 1970s television show All in the Family. | image tagged in christian science,cult,bible,mary baker eddy,god,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5z0nql.jpg)
![WHY DON’T TODAY’S JEWISH RABBI’S BELIEVE
JESUS CHRIST IS THE PROMISED MESSIAH THEY HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR? [3 of 3] Imagine what would happen in our time if Jesus came along to challenge the powerful politicians running the world. How would they handle Him bringing up all their corruption and outright evil? Would they embrace Him? Most likely, no. They would try to save face, and preserve their ill-gotten wealth, which means they would council their nations to distrust Jesus Christ (actually, they already do). In fact, they would probably claim Christ is an intolerant liar who incites violence, hoping that would lead to the people somehow eliminating Him. It was no different two centuries ago when the rabbi’s were concerned about losing their authority to Jesus, and facing serious retribution from the people they had been ruthlessly controlling through thousands of rabbinic laws. Back then, the power was in the hands of religious leaders
(the rabbi’s) who decided to crucify Jesus. And it would probably be the same
reaction among our powerful politicians today. Those who had Jesus eliminated
centuries ago didn't like the fact that He was jeopardizing the money, position, appreciation, and authority that the Jewish people had given the corrupt leaders. So, regardless of over three hundred Old Testament prophecies that Jesus was fulfilling, as well as all the miracles He performed to prove He is God, the Jewish leaders decided to turn the people against Christ, having Him killed so they could retain all they had. And two thousand years later in modern Judaism, the Jewish leadership is still pushing Jesus aside: They won’t even entertain the question of whether Jesus is the Messiah, which makes rabbinic writings extremely biased against Jesus, and they won’t allow Jews to decide about Christ for themselves—rabbi’s spread the assumption that “no good Jew” should even read the New Testament. So, their current policy on Jesus Christ allows no exploration of the truth, just the blind leading the blind.
Still today, Judaism’s leaders don’t want anyone to learn about Jesus, and this
follows two thousand years of Jewish rabbi’s covering up the truth about the
most famous Jew in the history of mankind. Throughout the centuries and
even up to today, Jesus has been the most recognizable name ever, and He
is written about in history’s most read book. Yet, Christ remains Judaism’s
unrecognized Messiah and its most widely held secret. | image tagged in jewish,politicians,jesus,god,bible,rabbi | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yvkqm.jpg)
![WHY DON’T TODAY’S JEWISH RABBI’S BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST IS THE PROMISED MESSIAH THEY HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR? [1 of 3] As human beings, we don't like to admit we’re wrong, especially when we must confess to being hopelessly sinful. Our human nature loves power and control, while we also want to feel special, important, and valuable. Knowing this, we should not be surprised when the Bible tells us humans had a similar mindset two thousand years ago, during a time of widespread religious hypocrisy and corruption—like today. So, the love and pursuit of power and control—mixed with religion—was also pervasive way back then. With all this in mind, is it possible that those rabbi’s accused Jesus and His followers of idol worship because they feared Christ’s ministry would cause them to lose power and status? Historical researchers located about twenty ancient sources, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, Josephus, and rabbinic writings that detail how absolutely corrupt Israel’s religious leaders were during that time of the Second Temple. They wanted Jesus dead, even though He let them know He hadn’t come to abolish God’s laws; He said He came to fulfill them. What Jesus did reject were the manmade traditions invented and hallowed by the rabbi’s of Christ’s day. Those
were called the “oral law.” But Jesus knew that tradition just
produces religion, and religion distances us from God. | image tagged in rabbi,jewish,god,bible,jesus,israel | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yvjh8.jpg)
![DO JEWISH PEOPLE THINK CHRISTIANS WORSHIP THREE GODS? [2 of 2] Besides Jesus professing that “the Lord our God is one,” and Genesis using the plural-word “Elohim” for God, we have many ways to explain how the Trinity can be both three and one. For example, I’m a husband, father, and pastor—no wonder I'm tired—but which one is not me? Being made in God’s image, you and I have a spirit, soul, and body, but which is not us? We can also mathematically represent the truth of Trinity:; Jewish people believe the New Testament’s depiction of the Trinity means the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit must be represented as 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, but the Bible tells us it is 1 x 1 x 1 = 1. So, even with the mathematics of God, three can be one. Yes, God presents himself as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, but He is still one guy, one Elohim saying, “Let us make man in our image.” Then there is the classic example: When water is left alone, it presents as a liquid, but when frozen water becomes a solid, and when heated
it turns into a vapor. Which one of those is not water? | image tagged in trinity,god,jesus,holy spirit,christian,bible | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yvj94.jpg)
![DO JEWISH PEOPLE THINK CHRISTIANS WORSHIP THREE GODS? [1 of 2] When witnessing about Christ to those in the religion of Judaism, you may hear them say Christians believe in three Gods, but Jews have only one. Jewish people choke on the idea of the Trinity, though a quick explanation shows it is not an issue. In fact, even Jesus taught that there is only one God: Christ quoted Deuteronomy 6:4 from the Jewish (and Christian) Old Testament when questioned by a scribe who asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”; Jesus answered, “The most important one is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.’ ” So, Christ certainly supported there being only one God. And we can reciprocate with this challenging question for a Jewish person: Who is Scripture talking about in your—and Christian’s—Old Testament book of Genesis (1:26), when God says, "Let us make man in our image." Genesis uses the Hebrew word “Elohim,” which means a plural
number. Hmmm, there's some food for thought, and that's in the first chapter
of the Jewish Torah (the first five books of the Old Testament). | image tagged in jewish,christian,trinity,god,jesus,holy spirit | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yvipm.jpg)
![DID GOD CREATE SOME DEFAULT LAW THAT GRANTS
ENTRANCE INTO HEAVEN FOR “RELATIVELY GOOD” SINNERS? As a pastor who travels frequently throughout America and also to many nations around the world, (for conferences, interviews, and other public speaking), I talk with a diverse population. One common, misinformed, and alarming misconception is presented to me by people everywhere, and it is because they do not investigate this monumentally important claim that has them clinging to a completely false hope: Men and women all around the planet rely on their ticket to a pleasant eternity being their status a “relatively good person,” or “fairly good person." But that doesn't make you a Christian. Contrary to
that tragic delusion, Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father [God in heaven] except through Me.” We have all broken God's law, whether it's lying, stealing, lusting, practicing idolatry by loving things or people more than God, breaking other commandments, or all of the above. Just one of those sins against our Creator is the constant self-focused idol worship of our modern society. According to God’s Word in the Bible, anything can become our idol, including money, possessions, television, other entertainment, a hobby, another person, or even
ourselves. When we get preoccupied with something to point where
that obsession is more important than our relationship with God,
it is idol worship. We’ve all done that, besides the fact that we
have all lied—claim you haven’t and you just lied again. | image tagged in works,christian,sin,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5yrmlk.jpg)
![WHAT IS THE BUDDHIST RELIGION OF JAINISM? [2 of 2] Jesus talked about the Jewish Pharisees forcing their followers to perform prescribed works as the way to supposedly reach a pleasant afterlife, the same sort of works that today’s Jainism (an offshoot of Buddhism) holds their people to. What did Christ say about people who force followers to perform manmade tasks as the supposed ticket to heaven? He called the Pharisees what they were: fools and hypocrites. Here is Jesus addressing the Pharisees in Matthew 23:15 and 27:"Woe to you, blind guides! You go over
land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one,
you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are…; You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity.” The Pharisee’s rules where false teachings, useless burdens put on people. Completely contrary to what the Pharisees prescribed, Jesus had the people follow Him, promising this at the end of Matthew 11: "Come to Me…you will find rest for your souls. My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” But even today, because people refuse to accept Christ’s free gift of salvation, those caught in false religions like Jainism continue to suffer under Pharisee-type rules, not to mention risking an eternity away from God, ending
up in hell, if they don’t accept Jesus before their death. | image tagged in jainism,buddhism,hindu,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5ylfaf.jpg)
![WHAT IS THE BUDDHIST RELIGION OF JAINISM? [1 of 2] “Jain” simply means “conqueror,” and “ism” is a “doctrine, cause, or theory,” so a Jainist is a “conqueror from the bondage of this world.” That foundational belief of Jainism sounds like the Hindu idea that we all must escape the bonds of reincarnation, life’s supposed cycle of continuous birth and death which is caused by our bad karma built up in previous lives. The similar views make sense because Jainism is another spin-off from Buddhism, which came out of Hinduism. The works-based aspect of Jainism—the same, tired, old claim that we all must
work our own way to heaven—is similar to the beliefs and practices
of Jewish leaders during the time Jesus walked the earth. Christ had to deal with the Pharisees and all their onerous, manmade rules and traditions that they relentlessly put on the Jewish people. The Pharisees came up with crazy decrees, like not spitting at the ground on the Sabbath. Why in the world would that matter? Well, having the right trajectory, your spit might hit the dirt with a strong enough force to roll through the dust; thus, you would be plowing a tiny trough—how dare you work on the Sabbath. This is just one of a million examples
where man’s rules have been put on people to religiously control
them with constant threats on their eternal lives. | image tagged in jainism,buddhism,hindu,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5ylev4.jpg)
