Mark 8:33, “But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.”
One of the most startling Scriptures in the Bible is where Jesus looks
directly at the Apostle Peter and calls him “Satan” because of his wrong
thinking. Peter insisted that he would fight 'til the end to prevent anyone
from crucifying the Lord. Peter didn't understand that Jesus needed to be
crucified to pay for mankind's sins. Peter was sincerely ignorant, thinking
in accordance with Satan.
Jesus rebuked Peter. I would like to rebuke some popular Satanic ideas floating around in our churches today, and I hope you'll listen, because I care about you. The hallmark quality of being a Christian is caring.
Roman Catholicism
The silence across America is deafening. There is a Satanic philosophy in many churches today that says Catholics are saved because they believe that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again. But Catholicism ADDS works to faith, perverting and corrupting the simplicity of the Gospel (2nd Corinthians 11:3-4). Faith plus anything equals damnation. Every born-again believer ought to speak out against the lies of the Catholic religion, which lead men into the fires of Hell beneath.
One of the biggest tragedies in the world today is that Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) singers are absolutely silent concerning the presence and evil of false religions. These imposters profess to know Christ; yet they never publish the Gospel on their websites, never warn anyone of the lies of Satan, and couldn't care less if anyone gets saved. Most of them aren't saved themselves; but rather, exploit Christianity to make a buck. It is Satanic thinking to embrace the Catholic religion in any way as being legitimate or of God. Roman Catholicism is straight out of the pits of Hell.
I marvel at how silent Christian believers are concerning the evil Catholic religion. Jesus plainly taught that the Jews could not get to Heaven unless they had more righteousness than the religious Scribes and Pharisees (Matthew 5:20). Jesus meant that self-righteousness CANNOT get anyone into Heaven. Romans 10:3-4 plainly explains this. Christ is the end of the Law to Him that believeth. We are saved by faith alone, and not by works of self-righteousness (Romans 4:5).
Adam in the Old Testament found this out the hard way. He went and made clothing from fig leaves; but God rejected Adam's fig-leaf religion. God killed an innocent animal, representing the Lamb of God Who died for the sins of the world on Calvary. Keeping the sacraments of the Catholic Church cannot save anyone. Religion wants to fit us with glasses, but the Lord wants to open our eyes. You need HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS!!! (Matthew 6:33; 2nd Corinthians 5:21).
Pat Robertson publishes hundreds of Catholic news articles on his websites, even articles praising the Pope as a religious leader. Kirk Cameron is featured on The 700 Club. These imposters are all apostate, placing God second to avoid never stepping on each other's toes. They're all so afraid to offend anyone. It is sickening. OFFEND THEM! The truth is offensive. The Bible is the most offensive Book ever written, which is why the Devil is trying to change it so much, which brings me to my next point.
New Bible Translations
God said it the way He wanted to say it. God doesn't apologize for His Word. If the Bible offends you, then you have a problem my friend. God is right and you are wrong. I guarantee you of that. Satan hates the Bible because it tells the truth, exposing Satan and his lies. 2nd Corinthians 4:4 teaches that Satan blinds the minds of people to hinder them from being saved. Satan uses all sorts of lies, false doctrines, evolution, dead religions, and demonic thinking. The only way to expose the darkness is to shine the Light of God's Word.
Carefully notice two very important Biblical truths in Matthew 4:1-10:
- Jesus defeated Satan's temptations by quoting the Scriptures.
- The Devil tempted Jesus by corrupting the Scriptures.
This is very interesting. Here we find both Satan and Jesus using the Bible in a spiritual battle. Whereas Satan tried to misinterpret the Bible to lead Jesus astray in His thinking, Jesus had memorized and studied the Scriptures, rightfully interpreting and quoting the Bible to drive away the Devil. This is a lesson to all of us. The Word of God is how we can beat temptation and cause the Devil to flee from us (Psalm 119:11).
Likewise, Satan knows this and will attempt to confuse us with misinformation and disinformation concerning the Word of God. This is why we see so many corrupt new Bible versions coming out and pastors getting their sermons from corrupt authors on the New York Times' Best-Seller list. The Bible is under attack nowadays like never before.
Satan hasn't changed in the past 6,000 years of mankind. Satan questioned God's Word to Eve in Genesis 3:1. Satan always tries to deceive us by using the truth as a cover for his lies. The battle today is over words. That's right, the meaning of words.
Satan has redefined “wicked” to mean cool, something good. Satan is trying to diminish the awfulness of sin in the minds and hearts of young people today. Today's youth need good old-fashioned Bible-preaching!
“Repentance” has been redefined to mean a change of lifestyle; rather than a change of mind as the Bible teaches concerning salvation. The entire basis of the Satanic lie of Lordship Salvation is a misinterpretation of what the word “repent” means.
Seventh Day Adventists (SDA) have redefined what the word “faith” means, which is the basis of their work-based corrupt Gospel. To the SDA, faith means obeying all the commandments of God to be saved.
Seventh Day Adventists deceitfully profess to believe that faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven. However, what they don't tell you is that they have a very different understanding of what the term “faith” means...
"To have faith means to find and accept the gospel treasure, with all the obligations which it imposes" (Christ's Object Lessons, p. 112).

Obligations? What obligations? Eternal life is a free gift, paid for by Jesus' precious blood (Romans 4:5-6; 1st Peter 1:18-19). SDA is a works-based false religion, which mandates OBLIGATIONS that the Bible does NOT! There can be no obligations for something truly to be a gift! If I tell you that I bought you a birthday present, but first you must complete a list of obligations to have it; then it WOULDN'T truly be a gift! It would be a reward that you had earned.
Do you see how the meaning of words is critically important, and how easily it is for Satan to deceive multitudes of people by simply redefining a single word? With that in mind, now consider that the 1984 New International Version (NIV) of the Bible changed and/or removed 65,000 words in comparison to the inspired, faithfully translated, 1611 King James Bible. The 2011 NIV is even worse, calling the Holy Spirit “it” instead of “He” to appease the homosexual feminist agendas of our wicked generation.
The NIV 2011 is evil in the sight of God. The CBT (Committee on Biblical Translation) translated the original NIV and the NIV 2011 for the International Bible Society (now called Biblica), and then Zondervan publishes it (owned by Harper Collins). These sinister people are all in trouble with the Lord Jesus Christ for corrupting the Words of God. Revelation 22:19, “And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Woe unto the Bible butchers!
If you are using a New International Version, or a 2011 NIV, or Good News For Modern Man, or the New King James Bible, or any other modern corrupted Bible version, then you are saturating your mind with SATANIC THINKING... GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN!!! Thank God for the time-tested, proven, precious King James Bible—the soul-winner's Bible!!!
If your church doesn't use the King James
Bible, then I would find another church, one that loves Jesus.
Homosexuality
It's sad that I even have to write about this, but it needs to continually be said. One of the biggest sinful trends of our day is to embrace the homosexual agenda. Please don't misunderstand me. I do believe that we should embrace homosexuals with the unconditional love of God. However, we ought to also side with God against the sinful lifestyle of homosexuality. A faithful Christian is one who takes God's side in a controversy. Homosexuality is a hotly-debated controversy. You are either on God's side or the world's, there is NO middle ground.
Of course, there is no controversy if you believe the Bible. Albeit, we are living in a wicked world where most people DON'T believe the Word of God. They despise the knowledge of God (Romans 1:28). Romans 3:18 says, “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Hardly anyone fears God anymore, which is why homosexuality has become commonplace now in the United States. It does not surprise me that in a crooked and perverted nation where pornography and abortion have been legal for generations, that society today is getting much worse. Barnyard morality leads to more barnyard morality. You either embrace God and His Word through faith in Jesus Christ, or else you are a child of the Devil bound for Hell in your sins.
Don't be a gay-basher, but preach the truth. If you think preachers shouldn't preach against the sin of homosexuality, then you are thinking like Satan. If you think that Christians ought not take a public stand against the vile and disgusting sin of lesbianism and homosexuality, then you are thinking like Satan. Homosexuality is a moral issue. No one has a right to be immoral in public, nor to teach children that immorality is acceptable and ok. Civil rights is one thing; moral rights is entirely another. God is the only moral Authority, which Laws He has given to us in the Bible.
It is tragic that
sodomite
ministers are being ordained into the clergy and are being appointed to
pastor churches. God doesn't recognize them as legitimate men of God, that's
for sure! You cannot say, “Bless me Lord,” while intending to go out
afterwards and commit deliberate sin. It doesn't work that way. God commands
all believers to be holy, just as God is holy (1st Peter 1:16). People don't
fear God today, just as they didn't in the time of Noah before the
flood came and took them all away.
Feminism
Feminism is the rot of American society. Jesus said in John 10:10 that the thief comes only to KILL, STEAL, and DESTROY. Feminism has indoctrinated American women to kill their babies by abortion, destroy their marriages by divorce, and Satan steals away their family and happiness in the process. The sad paradox is that the feminist women doing these woeful evil deeds are doing it to feel “liberated.” Satan duped them into destroying their own children, marriage, and home, thinking that they have done a good thing. It's insanity!
There is much feminism in churches today, evidenced by women wearing blue jeans to church and women pastors. It is wrong. The Bible has much to say about women remaining silent in the church around men, and not usurping authority over men, and to learn at home from their husbands rather than debating with men at church. The Bible teaches that Adam was created first, and then Eve. Hence, women are not to rule over men. 1st Timothy 2:12-14, “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” A man is to rule over his wife in the home, in the church, and in public (Genesis 3:16).
Feminism has brainwashed women to serve the Devil. A person who murders their own child by abortion is out of their right mind. God gave that child as a precious gift of life, and the Devil just came along and said, “kill, kill, kill.” Then the Devil says, “divorce, divorce, divorce.” Please don't let Satan steal your home and happiness. Feminism is not about women's rights, nor ever was it. Feminism was engineered by the Rockefellers as an evil agenda which could be used to indoctrinate American women to destroy the family. It has worked very well for Satan. Time magazine reported that the bad economy has reduced the number of mothers having children, because they're too busy slaving in the secular workplace to pursue motherhood at home where they belong. The Devil is behind all this mess in America...
"Those who want to destroy the family will continue to urge mothers to leave the home and 'become fulfilled in the workplace.' When the mother goes into the workplace to become 'fulfilled,' or to increase the family's income, she leaves the care of the children to others. Those who warn against such practices will continue to be scorned by the feminists and others who have a hidden agenda: they want to destroy the family."
