The Plan

Centuries ago the earliest followers of Christ warned the coming generations that false
teachers would infiltrate the ranks of the true believers and overtake Christianity by means of
deception and alluring words. Today we look back down the annals of time and see that this
has been thoroughly accomplished, with cunning accuracy. What we have today under the
guise of “The Church” is not true Christianity in the least; it is a craftily designed impostor.
The devil has set up a false church system with a graven image of a Christ as it's head who is
willing to accept into His following even the most vile of sinners, while they remain defiled and
in opposition to the Lord's expressed purposes. We look into the writings of the Apostles and
early disciples and what we find is an unmistakably pure religion of love, obedience,
endurance and commitment. We find people who gave of everything they had to the wellbeing
of their neighbors, strangers and even their enemies. We find men and women who
were willing to die for their Lord and His Kingdom, and they gloried in persecution considering
it a privilege to be scorned and abused for His name's sake.

Today we can barely find a single person who calls themself a Christian that is willing to give
up anything at all; they are clinging on to the comforts of life and the pet sins they believe they
can never stop. The lie which dominates the deception in this false Christianity is that we are
born sinners, imputed with Adam's guilt and cannot obey God in and of ourselves, and that if
we try to obey God we will offend Him and take His glory away.

Right from the very beginning it has been Satan's mission to get all of Creation to disobey
God. He succeeded in getting many of the angels to follow him, and then he went about
corrupting God's delight, the human being. Created with a free will, the human is equipped
with a flesh body, unlike the angels. In this flesh body is desires which are specific to the
human body and its nourishment, comfort, pleasures, knowledge and procreation. These
qualities make us special in all of God's Universe, and this infuriates Satan. When Satan
looked down and saw the Lord's new, special creature, one who could be tempted beyond
that of any angel, but yet still retain the ability to obey and do right, he grew angry, jealous
and set his twisted mind about the corruption of this new being.

The devil approached Eve with a plan in mind. The plan was simple, yet sinister. The plan
was to get these beings to believe that the Lord had lied about the consequences of
disobedience and thus trick them into disobeying their Creator. He would set up doubt in their
mind, allure them with appealing ideas and lead them astray into a state of shame and moral
separation from the Lord. The devil knew that these humans had desires of sight, smell,
touch, sound and of the mind. He played off some of these senses and tempted Eve to go
against the one Command the Lord had given them, while promising her that, in opposition to
what the Lord said, “you shall NOT surely die”. Eve thought about it, knew she shouldn't even
touch the fruit, but the serpent appeared so wise and his words were so smooth and
convincing that it seemed possible that he could be correct in inferring that the Lord was
holding back good things. She decided it was worth a shot and slowly reached out and
partook of the forbidden fruit, and then shared it with her husband, Adam. Here it was that
Satan and his demons rejoiced, as their plan to deceive and lead astray God's new creature
had been accomplished.

Adam and Eve felt shame for their disobedience, and hid from the Lord. The Lord took
special care and clothed them by killing an animal and putting the skins on them to hide their
shame. They were then ejected from the Garden. The result of Adam and Eve's disobedience
was discomforts in working the fields and in child bearing. The ground was now cursed and
would only bring forth food with much toil. There is no record that Adam or Eve ever
disobeyed God again, or violated conscience. Also, there is no mention or hint that Adam's
moral nature was affected by his prior disobedience. As a matter of fact, the Lord told them
that the consequences of disobeying Him would be that they would “surely die”. The death he
was speaking of was a spiritual death, a moral separation from God, a relational disruption.
If the consequences of Adam and Eve's disobedience was to be that all their children and
their children's children would be corrupted, depraved and only bent on sin, surely the Lord
would have warned them of this. But He didn't. Beyond this, why would a loving God create
a penalty which would incur punishment on innocent beings who didn't directly disobey Him?
Granted, there are certiain consequences that were resultant of Adam and Eve disobeying
God, but it has nothing to do with the moral fibers of the human soul. If it were, as many
profess, that Adam's children were born sinners, let us contemplate Abel...

There is no record of Abel disobeying God, but rather we find that the Lord was pleased with
him. His brother was another story; an arrogant young man, he did not respect the Lord and
was infuriated when Abel's offerings were accepted, and his were not. The Lord, knowing the
intents of Cain's heart which was being drawn astray by sinful thoughts, warned him saying:
“If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its
desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” Now, if indeed Adam's offspring were born
depraved and unable to obey God or deny sin, why would the Lord, who knows all things, be
telling Cain to master over sin and do what is right? We have two choices here: Either God
was wrong or Cain was not born a sinner. Well, we know God cannot be wrong...

But here we are today, with an entire generation thinking they are born depraved and morally
disabled. They feel that God is love and by His grace He is willing to overlook our genetic
lack of ability to be good people and obey God's commands to love Him and our neighbor as
ourself. We are taught from the get-go that we are born sinners and that we will never be
able to overcome our desires to do bad things, unless maybe God steps onto the scene and
changes these desires by some far out concept we are not meant to be privy of. This is
essentially the same in result as us telling our children that they are stupid and worthless.
What does logic tell us will become of a child who experiences these types of degrading
remarks? Chances are that they will not even try to succeed in life. Reality has it that this is
what usually happens.

The devil has designed a system where us here on the earth are allured into believing that we
can live however we want, can never please the Lord by our thoughts, words and actions but
yet can expect eternal life if all we do is accept, receive and rest in a cunningly devised plan
of false redemption. Once someone is brought into this system and brainwashed by the
teachings and mass deception, there is little chance that they will ever escape; as it is a
comfortable position to be in, thinking that one can inherit eternal life while at the same time
living however they please. Not all professing believers or pastors can see this or will come
right out and admit this is all true, but if you break down their belief system, they will be forced
to see that this is the way it is. They will eventually realize that they are arguing in favor of
sin. Most run and hide at this point.

The demonic false theological system which dominates this present world of impostor
Christians has convinced this generation, and many of the past, that we can be saved in the
midst of willful sins, live a “Christian” life while continuing to offend a Holy God, and be
brought into eternal glory while still committing crimes against Him. This is the exact same lie
that Satan told Eve in the Garden thousands of years ago; “you can disobey the Lord, attain a
higher state of being and not be punished for your sins”... and even be received into glory if all
you do is simply believe. I can see that greasy smile now, with those sinister eyes; glazed and
staring... intent upon getting another soul with him in eternal torment.

Who are you going to believe? Are you going to believe Satan and his army of false teachers
who are striding down the wide road to destruction, or are you going to believe the simple few
who are presenting you the truth of God's Word?
“If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at
the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”
(Genesis 4:7)

"Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor
known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices
righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil,
for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God
was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
(1 John 3:6-8)

"Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved,
he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love
Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot
be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted
when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has
conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren." (James 1:12-16)

“For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is
an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one
deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God
comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with
them.” (Ephesians 5:5-7)

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will
also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he
who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. (Galatians 6:7-8)

This is a huge stumbling block in the church, countless ministries teach this, making the sinner feel sorry for his predicament, and in bondage to sin, since it makes real repentance and faith void.
Many will come , but few will be saved under this premise, it takes away our responsibility to obey from the heart, repent, and seek His mercy, it also takes away the fear of God and His great plan of redemption for all mankind, playing a blame game on where the sin came from!
Most will say it came from Adam, when in reality it came from a long life of long practice habit, a choice to disobey God and seek our own way and not His.

The church today does just that, as they pronounce countless sinners saved by grace and from thier nature, telling them Jesus took thier place, and He is thier remedy, NOT thier responsibllity and reasonable act of service to repent and seek His mercy.

Its you were born a sinner, and here is the cure=Jesus is your cure, and your covering, just accept, trust and believe, actually declaring you righteous while you are still in your sins, what a package deal, easy as one, two, three, sounds great, very deceiving, and many will fall prey to it.
