Satan Doesn't Care What You Believe As Long As It Isn't The Truth

The post-modern "emerging" church propaganda is being revealed openly as we move further and further away from a faith founded on the Word of God. Believers of a variety of faiths are worshiping together. Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, Zoroastrian, Judaic, Christian and Islamic texts are often read and prayed during the same service.

Islam speaks about Jesus and what a great prophet he was. Oddly though, they don't believe what he said. Do prophets lie? At "Abode of the Message," a retreat center in New Lebanon, New York, guests are invited to deepen their faith without suggestion to convert to anything. Buddhists at Zen Mountain Monastery say they see no conflict with Buddhist practice and any person's path in searching for God. Elat Chayyim Jewish Retreat Center in Falls Village, Connecticut, welcomes "seekers who have walked other spiritual paths."

Protestants, Catholics, Jews, and Muslims as well as followers of other faiths are coming to agree that all religions can lead to eternal life, and that all worship the same God.

So what's the problem with this?

The problem is ...it isn't true.

It is unacceptable to Christians because Jesus Christ made very specific statements about his purpose in coming and the requirements to follow him. And they are dogmatically exclusive.

Well, what DID Jesus say?

The New Testament record, written exclusively by eye-witness followers of Jesus, teaches that human beings are born in a state of falleness. This means that all humans will sin, and sin will bring them to judgment. The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ teaches that God sent his son Jesus to bear the judgment for sin ON BEHALF OF each sinner who receives him, and that those who receive him will have eternal life. The New Testament stresses that we are saved by the blood of the sacrifice God provided, as Jesus gave his life on that Cross.

Satan's agenda is to dismiss all truth about Jesus Christ. He will attack his deity, his virgin birth, and everything written about Him. He will underplay, ridicule, and steer you away from the concepts of the Cross, and the purpose for the Blood of Christ. And he will foster every and any other way of religion. From the beginning, Satan's hatred has been against the work of Jesus on behalf of fallen mankind and he raises all kinds of alternatives to steer people away from Christ. Satan doesn't care what you believe, as long as it isn't the truth.

Do Christians really believe what Jesus said? He said that He came to be the atonement for sinful man, and as the atonement provided by God, there is therefore no other way to salvation.

“I am THE WAY and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father EXCEPT through me.”
(John 14:6).

That pointed statement is Jesus Christ's claim to exclusivity. He said that he is the ONLY way.

The Bible speaks of a global religion in "the last days." Believers stand in shock and horror as this very thing evolves into just that. As in the days of Noah, the human race is going to perdition on a toboggan slide into hell. Jesus said that the last days would be "As it was in the days of Noah ...." And so it is! Everyone is doing his own thing, and neglecting the one thing that matters. Noah offered only one way of escape. They rejected it. And they perished.

A generation ago, it would have been a stretch to imagine how a global religion could come to be, because the people of most religions were immovable in their beliefs. But now, in these "last days," that very thing is taking shape right before our eyes, except most aren't watching and they're falling for it by the masses.

For those who belong to Jesus Christ, stay close to him because it's going to get worse. Much, much worse. Many think revival is coming, but that is not prophesied in the Word of God, rather the Bible shows a great apostasy, the falling away, as the world sets its heart on global peace, global warming, global environmentalism, global religion, the polar bears in the arctic, the fuzzy wuzzies, and all that avoids the one true God. They turn to everything and anything except the Word of God, because the Word of God makes it clear that it is NOT ecumenical.

"For there is one God and ONE Mediator
between God and men, the man Christ Jesus..."
1 Timothy 2:5

Satan is the author behind all these deceptions and division. He doesn't care what you believe, as long as it isn't the truth.
