quot;And Jesus answered and said to them,
‚See to it that no one misleads you. ‚For
many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am
the Christ,’ and will mislead many …
Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here
is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not
believe him. ‚For false Christs and false
prophets will arise and will show great
signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if
possible, even the elect.quot;(Matthew 24:4-

Testament. Mary had actual sex
relations with the Father and gave
birth to Jesus. Jesus is also the
spirit-brother of Lucifer.

‚The reality is, Jesus was the Solar
Deity of the Gnostic Christian sect
and like all other Pagan gods, he was
a mythical figure. It was the
political establishment that sought to
historize the Jesus figure for social
control. By 325 a.d. in Rome, emperor
Constantine convened the Council of
Nicea. It was during this meeting that
the politically motivated Christian
Doctrines were established and thus
began a long history of Christian
bloodshed and spiritual fraud. ‚

23. The Last False Christ
quot;And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast
coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his
horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names. And
the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those
of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave
him his power and his throne and great authority. I saw one of his
heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the
whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast; they worshiped the
dragon because he gave his authority to the beast; and they worshiped
the beast, saying, ‚Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war
with him?‛ There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and
blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to
him. And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme
His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. It was
also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and
authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given
to him. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose
name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book
of life of the Lamb who has been slain.quot;(Revelation 13:1-8)
- The Enemy’s Teaching
24. A False Gospel
quot;I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting
Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a
different gospel; which is really not another;
only there are some who are disturbing you and
want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even
if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to
you a gospel contrary to what we have preached
to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said
before, so I say again now, if any man is
preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you
received, he is to be accursed!‚
(Galatians 1:6-9)

balance (of good deeds)

30. Evil’s Goal with the True Gospel
‚Since the primary motive of evil is disguise,
one of the places evil people are most likely
to be found is within the church. What better
way to conceal one’s evil from oneself as well
as from others than to be a deacon or some other
highly visible form of Christian within our
culture.‚

31. The True Gospel
quot;Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel
which I preached to you, which also you
received, in which also you stand, by which also
you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I
preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
For I delivered to you as of first importance
what I also received, that Christ died for our
sins according to the Scriptures, and that He
was buried, and that He was raised on the third
day according to the Scriptures,‚
(1 Corinthians 15:1-4)
- The Enemy’s Teaching
32. The True Gospel
quot;For by grace you have been saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of
God;‚ (Ephesians 2:8)
quot;But what does it say? ‚The word is near you, in
your mouth and in your heart‛—that is, the word
of faith which we are preaching, that if you
confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and
believe in your heart that God raised Him from
the dead, you will be saved;quot;(Romans 10:8-9)
quot;For we maintain that a man is justified by
faith apart from works of the Law.quot;(Romans 3:28)

33. The Critical Difference
All False Gospels fall into one or more of the
following frameworks:
1. Pragmatic: works : Islam, Jehovah’s Witnesses
2. Epistemological: knowledge: Buddhism
3. Existential: experience: New Age
Christianity is different … it is Ontological.
It is grounded in the Person (Being) of Christ.
‚for I know whom I have believed.‚
(2 Timothy 1:12)
- The Enemy’s Teaching
34. The Critical Difference
1. Pragmatic: quot;Therefore they said to Him, ‚What
shall we do, so that we may work the works of
God?‛ Jesus answered and said to them, ‚This
is the work of God, that you believe in Him
whom He has sent.‛quot;(John 6:28-29)
2. Epistemological: ‚In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God … And the Word became flesh, and
dwelt among usquot;(John 1:14)
3. Existential: ‚I came that they may have life,
and have it abundantly.quot;(John 10:10)

sheep hear his voice, and he calls his
own sheep by name and leads them out.
‚When he puts forth all his own, he goes
ahead of them, and the sheep follow him
because they know his voice. ‚A stranger
they simply will not follow, but will
flee from him, because they do not know
the voice of strangers … My sheep hear
My voice, and I know them, and they
follow Me;‚
