Just recently a leader of the satanic temple announced that satanists are now starting to share “inter-faith” platforms with so-called “Christians” who want to show their “tolerance and love” toward all “diversity” and all different kinds of “faiths.” Truly, this is the sad and tragic outcome of joining in ecumenical forces against the God and Savior of the Bible.
Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished; But the posterity of the righteous will be delivered” (Prov. 11:21).
We are truly living in the end times, where the rise of Anti-Christ is becoming more and more manifest, for God’s restraining hand is being lifted, so that all of the wicked will fulfill God’s decree for them to fill up the measure of His wrath upon them (Mt. 23:31-33, 1 Thess. 2:16, Rev. 15:1). Even though, they don’t even realize that they’re fulfilling God’s divine purpose.
“The Lord hath made all things for Himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil” (Prov. 16:4).
The wicked are so deceived that they think they will have as much “fun” in Hell as they had getting there, but they are terribly and tragically mistaken. Their post-modern view of Hell is a complete farce, for Jesus warned more about the eternal torments of Hell than He spoke about Heaven, in order to make it abundantly clear that the wicked will have no excuse for their rejection of the truth.
Arminianism has long been the preferred tool of satan, for every satanic cult partakes of the forbidden fruit of so-called “freewill.” In satanism this is re-worded as “Do what thou wilt.” They claim that this is the “whole of the law,” because their self-determining, self-governing, humanistic view of man being the measure of all things, was the original lie in the Garden of Eden. And it is still being propagated heavily today. Ever since the Fall, mankind has been corrupted with a completely messed up view of reality concerning the difference between good and evil.
For instance, Arminianism implies that the wicked hands that killed Jesus should not be held responsible if God infallibly decreed for them to do so (And He did…see Acts 2:23). So according to this satanic view, even the devil must be held innocent….a monstrous consequence of Arminianism!! This is how ridiculous things get when a belief system dictates that one must seek salvation through works, rather than by faith in Jesus’ perfect righteousness alone, which is imputed to all who fully entrust their souls to Him.
“For they stumbled at that stumbling stone (Rom. 9:32).
This is why Arminianism twists Jeremiah 19:5 and other such verses, for these are commonly employed by those who display ignorance concerning the difference between God’s will of command and God’s will of decree, which I clearly go over on pages 156-157 of my book, and other chapters as well. But I will now elaborate even more. For instance, in Jeremiah 19:5 it never crossed God’s mind to command anyone to offer their children as sacrifices to Baal. Yet, He decreed that they would do so, or else it would have never happened. In the same way, God never commanded the wicked to crucify His Son. Yet, He decreed that they would do so (Acts 2:23).
God works in mysterious ways….
Likewise, God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac (Gen. 22:2) Yet, He decreed that Abraham would not sacrifice Isaac (Gen. 12:2-3; 15:4-5, Gen. 21:12). And He does all of these things for His own divinely-willed purposes. So for anyone to try to use such verses to prove that there are things that happen that are out of God’s control or beyond His ability to know, is a direct attack on Him and His Word.
The biblical reality of free-agency within the confines of God’s decrees, is the exact opposite of Arminian “freewill.” For by nature, we inherited original sin guilt due to the Fall of Adam, or else there would be no condemnation (Rom. 5:16-18). Clearly, the Bible indicates in Ephesians 2:1 that we are dead in trespasses and sins unless our spirit has been supernaturally quickened and regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
In Romans 3:10-23, it shows us that the only thing unregenerate sinners can do is sin and run from God, unless God intervenes and changes them. That does not sound very “free” at all does it?? This is why natural, unregenerate, fallen mankind seeks acceptance and justification with God through works. For they naturally have the “work of the law” written on their hearts by virtue of the Fall.
Now, dear reader, admire the beauty and perfect accuracy of Scripture!!….
“…who show the work of the law {in stark contrast to the singular “law of God”… e.g. Jer. 31:33, Heb. 10:16-17} written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them” (Rom. 2:15, emphasis and brackets mine).
Fallen humanity seeks to satisfy terrors of conscience by means of religious observances and moral works, in order to feel that they are at least “trying” to “do better,” which is a futile attempt to make up for the eternal offenses that they’ve committed against the eternal God of the Bible. For that would require sinless perfection this side of Heaven!!
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us” (1 Jn. 1:8-10).
Their vain endeavors are an impossibility, for only Jesus’ perfect righteousness has fulfilled the works of the law perfectly on behalf of His people. Christians now have direct access, by saving faith in Christ, to the law of the Spirit of life that sets them free (true freedom, NOT “freewill” to reject Christ) from the law of sin and death, by virtue of His definite atoning sacrifice and constant, unfailing intercession on their behalf. This is crucial, because Christians are still capable of committing sin in the flesh. Hence, their constant dependency upon Jesus Christ, Who is their Advocate with the Father (1 Jn. 2:1).
Jesus’ earthly ministry was two-fold; He not only fulfilled God’s precepts perfectly, He also paid (IN FULL) the penalty that His people incur for breaking God’s precepts. Although Christians are perfected positionally in Christ (Heb. 10:14), they are still presently and personally in a battle against the remains of sin that indwells their unredeemed flesh and taints everything that they go to do. Or else they wouldn’t constantly need Jesus’ effectual intercession (Heb. 7:25). Apostle Paul described this spiritual battle thoroughly….
“For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would” (Gal. 5:17).
Although God’s people cannot perfectly do all of the spiritual good that they want to do this side of Heaven (Rom. 7:19), their hope in Christ purifies their life (1 Jn. 3:3) so that they have a continually decreasing desire for anything that offends God or opposes His truth, because….
“all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world (1 Jn. 2:16).
Those who can freely sin and not be convicted and chastened by God… have no part in Him (Heb. 12:6-8). But those who are being sanctified and perfected in God’s love have a supernatural tendency to maintain a more watchful guard over their own hearts and minds. They are so effected by a sense of the love of Christ that their whole lives are ruled, dominated and motivated to stand against anything that is contrary to His holy nature.
Rather than remaining desensitized to evil and approving of it by being entertained or indoctrinated by it… their new, born again nature prefers to say…
“I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes. I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.” (Ps. 101:3).
However, those who serve the father of lies will continue to hate God’s people for standing against evil, and will continue to falsely accuse them of being hateful, unloving and judgmental for not turning a blind eye to evil.
“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Tim. 3:12).
For the corrupt world system, that’s ruled by spiritual wickedness, promotes a skeptical and relative point of view that causes many people to bring confusion and a variety of preconceived notions to Scripture (such as a denial of absolute truth). And once they buy into all of the media addiction and indoctrination, they are then beyond the reach of normal reasoning processes. This is why “hate crime” laws are being passed all over the world now, as a prelude to the worst Christian persecution ever.
“But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now” (Gal. 4:29).
This new impending world order has been brought about by what satanists call the “law of inversion,” where good is called evil, and evil is called good, by those who hate the Jesus of the Bible. So true Christians will continue to be falsely accused, imprisoned and tortured to death, while true criminals and haters of God will increasingly be “set free” and rewarded with temporary pleasures that will only doom them for eternity.
“Whoever rewards evil for good, Evil will not depart from his house” (Prov. 17:13).
The wicked of this world think that they will no longer be “tormented” by Christians and their message of repentance and faith in Christ once they finally wipe them off the face of the earth. However, they are in for a HUGE surprise (Rev. 11:4-13)!!!!
Thankfully, God’s Word thoroughly explains the world’s emotional and irrational responses to the biblical reality of Hell and the biblical fact that there are heresies to be avoided at all costs. And Arminianism is at the very top of the list, for its false “freewill” to reject God doctrine, is at the very root of every false religious system in the world, including satanism, which should be a real eye-opener!!
“There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death” (Prov. 14:12).
Christ Rescued Me!
