Of course that would be Satan himself. That's why many vehemently insist that there is no Hell. They are deceived ministers of Satan himself, sent to deceive others.
2 Corinthians 11:14-15 (ESV)
[sup]14 [/sup]And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. [sup]15 [/sup]So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.
Yep! Now that's closer to my thread question about where such an unscriptural doctrine that hell and Satan don't exist originates. I didn't start this thread to be another debate on the existence of hell and Satan as real things per God's Word.
But I'm not yet willing to apply that 2 Cor.11 warning completely to the poster using the moniker of 'Truth', regardless of what falseness he says about me, you, or anyone that agrees with the Old and New Testament evidence that both hell and Satan do exist. Atheists deny the existence of God too, but their denial does nothing to disprove God's existence.
Ecumenicalism:
There's a political movement today against True Christian Doctrine per God's Word The Bible. Some Christians are being thrown in jail in the West just for reading The Bible in a public setting (a Christian minister in California the other day arrested by a state trooper of the California Highway Patrol, just for publically reading The Bible, not preaching).
Because of the political movement of Ecumenicalism (inter-faith joining of the world's religions together), some Churches are toning down their preaching directly from The Bible. Those Churches are actually inviting religious believers from other religions to come in and put on a show within their Churches. Lot of folks are dropping like flies away from true Bible-believing Christianity because of that.
I'm aware that the mystical fraternities also deny the literal existence of hell and Satan. Some of them instead are told that THIS world is what The Bible means by hell. That goes along with their purpose of teaching that one must do their own salvation by seeking literal perfection, like the Buddhist belief in Nirvana and reincarnation of the soul.
The eastern belief in reincarnation is in direct conflict with The Bible about a non-believer on Christ going to a literal place like hell after they die. So how can the Buddhist religion be joined with Christianity? It can't really, but that's exactly what those behind the Ecunemical movement are trying to do. Christian Doctrine directly from The Bible is in opposition to many.. beliefs of other religions.
One could maybe look at beliefs of other religions and paganism, compare those with Christian Bible Doctrine, and see where they might attack Christianity next. At the expense of Christ Jesus and His Word, the political movers trying to join all the world's religions together apparently see a need to remove any Christian Doctrine that does not balance with the religions of the world.
Afterall, those behind the movement to join all religions together most likely don't hold The Bible as truth anyway, not anymore than beliefs of other faiths of the world. They're passing laws against Bible preaching against homosexuality and against declaring Jesus as The Saviour, so maybe a law is forthcoming next that says we can't preach about hell nor Satan in trying to warn people? Do you think they're angry that so much fundamental Bible Christian Doctrine is making it through the smoke screens in Communist nations today through the Internet? Is the Biblical Truth that Christ Jesus is the Only Way of Salvation, and the Bible concept of a literal hell and Satan upsetting someone? I think it is, and it goes directly against what the workers of iniquity are trying to with joining all the world's religions together under one banner.
For a long time now, the mystical fraternities have pushed the concept of, "Liberty, equality, fraternity, brotherhood...", etc. Those organizations have members from most all nations, so naturally their members are taught not to favor any one religious faith over another. When our leaders get up before the microphone to address the people, and treat all religions as equals, then that's actually the mystical societies speaking.
For all the above reasons, and more, I believe it is those mystical fraternities of initiation where the doctrines of no hell and no Satan originates from on earth. Such a doctrine obviously has Satan behind it in the heavenly dimension. But on earth, that's where I believe such ideas are coming from concerning the "workers of iniquity". I know there's a lot of deceived folks in those mystical societies, so I cannot credit all of them with coming up with such unbiblical ideas. And since I've been exposing some of the mystical society's goals on this Forum (like the Illuminati thread), I wouldn't be surprised at all that some of their errand boys have made it here in an attempt to try to turn things back around. Good luck with that, I say. Jesus Christ is LORD.
