"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."(Matthew 24:4-5,23-24)

Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda: A 60-year old former heroin addict and convict, born in Puerto Rico runs ‚God’s Government on Earth‛ and claims 100,000 followers. Miranda claims that in 1976 while living in Massachusetts two heavenly beings took him to a marble hall where an apparition merged with his body and began to speak inside of him. De Jesus believes that he and Jesus Christ became one and the same at that time.

• He claims that the devil doesn’t exist; and is only a fabrication of other religions.

"For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully."(2 Corinthians 11:4)

Sun Myung Moon is a South Korean citizen and the founder and leader of the Unification Church, a world-wide cultic organization that believes Moon to be the "Messiah" sent by God to complete the earthly mission of Jesus. His followers number in the millions.

Moon announced that he will save everyone on Earth just as he "saved the souls of even such murderous dictators as Hitler and Stalin", who he claimed had received 'the Blessing' through him. Moon said the reformed Hitler and Stalin vouched for him from the spirit world, calling him "none other than humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord and True Parent".

Prior to his incarnation, Jesus was the Jehovah of the Old Testament. Mary had actual sex relations with the Father and gave birth to Jesus. Jesus is also the spirit-brother of Lucifer.

"Jesus never existed as a person, but rather he is an electronic idea implanted by the true powers of the universe into the mind of someone between incarnations about 600 B.C. This implant is labeled R-6 and occurred in this person between incarnations while he was watching a madman or something. Jesus is nothing more than an electronic, mystical, biological implant and the implant has all the characteristics of a pedophile.‚

"For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly

persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only

Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.‚(Jude 4)

‚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. ‚

Does switching the label on the bottle from ‘Poison’ to

‘Lemonade’ change the contents of the bottle?

The Law of Identity is a

powerful reminder that reality is what reality is. Why think it works any different in the spiritual

realm?

"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."(Revelation 13:1-8)

"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!‚

‚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

"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)

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of

God;‚ (Ephesians 2:8)

"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;"(Romans 10:8-9)

"For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law."(Romans 3:28)

The True Gospel

Page 33: Ultimate Spiritual Fighting -  The Enemys Teaching Part 2

All False Gospels fall into one or more of the following frameworks:

1. Pragmatic: works : Islam, Jehovah’s Witnesses2. Epistemological: knowledge: Buddhism 3. Existential: experience: New Age

The Critical Difference

- The Enemy’s Teaching

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)

Page 34: Ultimate Spiritual Fighting -  The Enemys Teaching Part 2

1. Pragmatic: "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.‛"(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 us"(John 1:14)

3. Existential: ‚I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."(John 10:10)

The Critical Difference

"We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God

does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of

error.‚(1 John 4:6)

‚To him the doorkeeper opens, and the 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;‚(John 10:3-5, 27)
