It is taught that Satan is the one who teaches that we should not lie, should not steal, should not cheat, should not fornicate, should not commit adultery and those who BRING these up to the members of the body of Christ do so to accuse them. Is this TWISTED or what?

It must be, for when we say there is NO LAW, that is true, but it does not mean that we have no law, it means that you should KNOW BETTER and be striving to overcome your desire to do them with the help of the Spirit

Didn't Jesus say that Satan is the TEMPTOR? Satan tries to get man to DO THESE THINGS so that when you DO FALL FOR TEMPTATION you will have to be judged by God for your sin?

The Word tells us not to do these things so that you can be free from laws being added once again to the 10 condensed to 2 which if done correctly cover ALL of the law/10.
Satan is the Accuser, but he must get you to SIN FIRST so that he can call it to God's attention. But be sure, nothing escapes God's eye.
So how is it that we have bought into this lie that Satan is the one who wants to keep the TEMPLE OF GOD FROM obeying the Word? Isn't he the one who wants us to be LAWLESS so that we stay bondage to a sinful lifestyle?
Satan has a job, and that job is to test man's hearts toward God. Just as God allowed him to try Job, and was allowed to use Peter's mouth, and Judas to betray Jesus. And the Spirit is the one who led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil, just as we ALL ARE led by the Spirit to be tried, tested, purified by our flesh man being burned in the fire of life. It is only when you have shed that old man that peace comes and the Lord blesses you as you are no longer of the flesh, but of the Spirit as a child of God who has been RAISED UP from infancy(born again spiritual babe) that has grown IN THE WORD to be fed the meat of the Word being his body and adopted by the Spirit bloodline(wine) in the image of Christ who is the image of the Father.

Is Paul working for Satan? Then why is Paul BRINGING THE LIGHT to sin in the church and USING Satan to burn some unsightly flesh from one who is SHAMEFULLY NAKED walking in SIN and not covered in Christ?
1 Cor 5:1-6:1
5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother {CLAIMS TO BE WALKING IN CHRIST} be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

KJV


I see I need to make a correction before someone miss understands what I am saying, but it gives me not EDIT button. So I am going to try correcting it this way.

When we say there is no law and that who so ever warns us of sin is the devil and the Accuser of the brethren. Then we are decieived. There there will always be the law that says to do unto other's as we would have them do to us which includes do not lie, do not cheat, do not steal, do not covet, do not fornicate(sleep around with anyone who is not our spouse), do not commit adultery or anything that harms another or offends God.

The devil wants us to heap up more laws for not being able to keep the original ones. But we have a better covenant, because unlike those who could not keep the law, we have been given the Spirit of God to overcome, not to just cover them up leaving us in the same fallen state we were in when we came to Christ.

The devil loves lawlessness for it brings destruction to God's people. Overcome sin by the blood of the Lamb, the Spirit and Word of God that worketh in us that is.

As I have posted, preached, exhorted, lived and plead so many times Hebrews 12:14 "Follow peace with all men and live holy; for without HOLINESS no man shall see the Lord".

The Church teaches that Satan accuses, as that is what his name literally means- the accuser. There are a lot of myths about the nature of Satan, with the only genuine, universal interpretation being that he is adversarial.

Satan lives in the souls of men. Angels and demons, the Spirit and Christ- they all reside in us. We are the celebrants, meaning we are the partakers in the entire ritual. This has always been the traditional understanding of Abrahamic religion, not just Christianity. That is why when a demon is cast out, it is by another man whom God works through. Scripture did not fall out the sky- it was written through men.

When you get all that down, then you can begin to understand what Catholciism teaches. All men on Earth accuse, even the Church itself. The Church does not make any aim to deny this, we are all subject to forces higher then ourselves. That is why Scripture calls us sheep. What is a sheep in a field besides a potential victim living on God's nourishment, and who is the Good Shephard?

You see, one should open their eyes before attempting to demonize the Church.
