The church is being deceived by Satan and his fallen angels and was so long ago and they are still at it today. Oh, for some it is a very minor deception, mostly of pride and arrogance which has been nurtured by working in the minds of clerics and priests as well as in bishops and preachers. The deception is so subtle until it is hard to spot, until the damage is done but it creeps in like rust on a steel bridge. A little weakening here and there, a bit of dodging around the scriptures in ways that seem “right” but changes their meaning just a bit. This has been his way all along, just as he did in Eden when he asked Eve about what God said. “You will not surely die! You will be like God knowing good and evil. Twisting words a bit, appealing to humanity’s pride, because pride has been the root of mankind’s sin that gives rise to all kinds of things like rebellion and vanity just as it did when the rebellion happened in Heaven.
Satan and his fallen angels will do whatever is possible against the church and its members in order to take as many with them into hell as they can. They are the instruments of disease, death, persecution and temptation in our world, especially against the church and those who claim to know Jesus. They also empower some church leaders to gain so much wealth that the message becomes twisted and weak and in the end, the body of Christ becomes weak and pitiful, alive but just barely.
In many ways, this is exactly what the world sees in the church today, regardless of the denomination or the leader who is taking his flock on a very broad road to hell with the assistance of Satan himself. As long as he can injure or take down the effectiveness of the church and the message, then he and his fallen angels will do just that, regardless of how much damage it does. He hates man with a passion which goes beyond human understanding and he hates the church even more!
The church has seen much deceit and division with people caught in lies and extortion and with the “leaders” of the congregations getting into all sorts of trouble. Some of them caught in adulterous situations and some getting very wealthy from their “partners in the ministry” helping to spread the Gospel of Christ and yet they own mansions and cars and jets. This is not the church that Jesus intended it to be!
Christians are supposed to be patterning their lives after Jesus, seeking Him and His Wisdom in everything that they do, yet there are some who do demonstrate against authority, against the law and against our government.Why is this being done? Because, if Satan can make the world look at the church, the body of Christ, as intolerant and hateful towards the freedoms that the world enjoys without the church then soon the world will turn against the church altogether.
One of the biggest problems with mankind and one that Satan uses is that we have an independent fallen nature which gives us the delusion of being in control of our lives and the outcome of our lives, whether spiritual or physical. We think that we are capable of reaching for Heaven independent of God and that is the biggest lie that Satan has told and nearly the whole world believes it! True believing Christians who depend on God and seek Him in their lives do not, but it seems that those are few these days and likely in a couple of generations will disappear from the Earth which is exactly what Satan wants!
Since God created mankind to worship Him and know Him, Satan is striking at God by destroying or hurting us in any way that he can. Through disease, poverty, war, famine, hatred of our religion and the One that we follow, Satan has struck at the heart of God by striking at the church, those of us who believe in Jesus and His message. If he can do enough damage that Christianity were outlawed and church services were banned, unless they were worshipping him or one of the “religions” that he approves of, then part of his mission here is working.
It is not finished yet, but he knows that his time is growing short.Then, he will turn on God’s people, the Jews just because they are God’s chosen people. He has deceived them into being so religious about their religion that they missed the Christ when He came and many still can’t see Him even today because they are blinded to Him. Pray that our world and those in it who have been blinded by the pride of life and their own fantasies will come to realize that they are not in control
The Living Message of Christ

I will do that for you. Thank you for all of your comments and I hope you are enjoying the content I have.
OK Tracy! Imagine the Ten Commandments of God, but this time, it is counterfeit and inverted. Instead of it coming from Christ, it fits our evil world. I call these the Ten Commandments of Satan.
1. You shall not bow to the True God, but to the gods who have diminion over the silver and gold he pledges to give to those who serve him.
2. You shall make a jraven image of yourself, and celebrate
This sounds like the type of commandments he would write.
And I am breaking them in front of your own eyes, and I have ZERO regrets whatsoever! He just got roasted, big time! Hahahahahahaha!
My mistake! I accidentally hit submit. Let’s try this again!
This is the Ten Commandments of Satan. Really, it’s the 10 commandments of our society.
1. You shall not bow to the True God, but to the gods who have diminion over the silver and gold given to those who serve me.
2. You shall make a graven image of yourself.
3. You shall exalt yourself to be like God, and glory in your high status.
4. You shall use the Sabbath as a day of destruction and chaos.
5. You shall not murder my servant, but you shall tear and skin the flesh of the sheep.
6. You shall not have any association with the Heavenly or the sacred truth which the Scriptures state.
7. You shall steal the pleasure of worship and the joy of eternal life.
8. You shall twist the words written in this sacred book, and deceive the sheep for your benefit.
9. You shall take the opportunity to tempt and lure your neighbor into my authority.
10. Anyone who turns to the truth prescribed in this sacred book shall be consumed with my wrath and fury.
Interesting take on his way of changing the commandments.
I actually heard a youtuber yesterday bring up the Ten Commandments, but the title said “The Ten Commmandments of Satan”. This is just a possible depiction of what the inverted version of God’s commandments would look like in this evil generation.
Sad
Oh, and a bonus commandment. Remember Christ’s greatest commandment: Love thy neighbor. Let’s invert that to Satan’s greatest compandment, and we get, …
I require thee to hate thy neighbor as I bestow the spirit of hatred upon you, which comes from me. The wolf is worth ten thousand dollars, and the sheep are nothing but traitors to the kingdom which I have established. (Uh-oh! It’s getting nasty!)
