DOCTRINES of DEVILS

As we have considered in previous studies, “APOSTASY”, “RELIGIOUS INSANITY”, “SECTS and CULTS” and other works, the way man has manipulated, added to, taken from and in other ways perverted God’s Word to suit personal desires, let us consider the reason satan changes the WORD and the horrifc rsults he achieves through this technique.
“YE ARE OF YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL AND THE LUSTS OF YOUR FATHER YE WILL DO. HE WAS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING AND ABODE NOT IN THE TRUTH” Jn. 8:44
In this quote the Lord, Jesus Christ, plainly puts the position of the Pharisees in perspective; here He was addressing the most religious men on the face of the earth, the Pharisees and the Sadducees of Israel and He has told them they are offspring of Lucifer, children of the devil, which is a rather confrontational and aggressive attitude to display.
Why did He do so and what is the relevance of His accusations to the religions, the denominations of this day?
By reading on to vs.47 we get a clearer comprehension of the point God is making.
“He that is of God heareth God’s words; ye therefore hear them not because ye are NOT of God”
Jesus identified the religious leaders of His day on earth, in flesh, as Serpent seed, children of the devil.
Why?
Because they were teaching the doctrines of man instead of the Word of God
They had turned God’s Word, God’s Love, into weapons the religious hierarchy could use to manipulate, suppress, subjugate, indoctrinate and impoverish the majority of the gullible public.
Religious warfare, religious hypocrisy, complete bastardization of God’s Word.
“Teaching for doctrine the commandments of men” Mat.15:9; Mk.7:7; (see Col.2: 4-23)
We read in Colossians 2 vs. 4 “And this I say, lest any man beguile you with enticing words” { Was this the same BEGUILING which took place in the garden of Eden, when Lucifer, through the Beast, BEGUILED Eve Gen. 3:13?}, then on through to vs 23 where Paul is warning the believers, the Christians, to “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceipt, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ; for in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”
To BEGUILE is : “Delude; cheat; charm, amuse; divert attention from, seduce.” (Oxford dict.)
If Eve was Deluded, Charmed, Seduced by the Beast, in the Garden of Eden, where she walked in the presence of the LORD, is it not comprehensible that the same deceipt is being administered to the Gentile bride, in these last days? Heb.13:8.
We know Eve was seduced by the Beast as her first born, Cain, is described in 1 Jn.3:12 as being “of the wicked one”, he was the child of Satan through the Beast.
The Beast is the missing link betwixt man and beast, who walked and talked in the garden, and must have been an upright creature, as his later curse was to crawl on his belly, that dust should be his meat Gen. 3:14.
We encourage the reader to consider this matter. The normal reaction to such suggestions is disbelief, and you are encouraged to search the Scriptures, find where Adam is refered to as ‘wicked’, Cain is listed in Adam’s genealogy or refered to as Adam’s son.
Do it, you may be surprised.
Deceit: “Misrepresentation, deceiving; trick; stratagem of deceitfulness; misleading appearance.” (Oxford dict)
There is an obvious correlation betwixt deceit and beguile, which leads us along our path to the doctrines of devils.
If, in the beginning of God’s dealings with man, a deception, a misinterpretation of God’s Word caused the fall of the human race, from it’s position with God, would we not determine a duplication of that process will be the one used by Lucifer in his last attempt to seduce, beguile the Gentile bride of Jesus Christ, the last Adam 1 Cor.15:45?
Surely this is the path we need investigate as it has continuously been the same process used by God to reveal Himself, and the same perversion Lucifer has used to blind and seduce his children, whilst striving to mislead God’s children.
Yes, there is a difference in the children.
With Cain being the son of the Beast, the devil, Rev.20:2 we find there is an enormous deceit perpetrated on the world; that there are two specie of ‘human’ beings on the earth. Those who are descendants of Seth, who was given to replace Abel, or are children of the devil, through Cain.

In Jn. 8 vs. 38 – 41 we find the Jews debating with the Lord Jesus; pointing out that they are children of Abraham, that they are not children of fornication, (illegitimate), but the Lord corrects them, exposes the difference in attitudes, the differences in behaviour of these claiming Abraham as their father, to the way Abaham and his SEED behaved.
We know God gave Abraham the promise he would be the father of many nations and that through his line would come the promised Son, Gen.12:7; 15:1 - 6; 17:1 – 19; “and in Isaac shalt thy SEED be called” Gen.21:12 and that SEED is the Christ.
We also understand Abraham had many children through his concubines, and these were the fathers of the Arab nations, who have been continuously at war with Israel ever since.
Though they were children of Abraham, they did NOT receive the promise of God, of the promised land, of the relationship with God, as they were not conceived through Abraham’s wife and it was that son alone that got the hereditary promise.
The traumatic, horrific violence betwixt the Jews and the Arab nations is the continuation of the war which has been on for the last 6,000 years.
The Palestinians want the promised land, they want Jerusalem, and claim it because they are Abraham’s descendants, but they were outside the promise which was given through Isaac’s line alone.
We are looking at doctrines of devils and these few examples are to show how Lucifer has misinterpreted God’s Word, to attack God’s children. How he has changed, manipulated and perverted God’s Word to deceive his (Lucifer’s) children Mt.13:38.
We see how religious leaders during the Lord’s advent on earth, two thousand years ago, stood against everything He taught, even though He was Biblicaly vindicated in every instance; even though they knew and admitted He was the Son of God, because the works testified of His Prophetic ministry Deut.18:15-19, Jn.3:1, and why is this so?
Let us bring that situation forward, to this day, and see what the attitudes of the religious leaders of this would be when this manifestation of God, as promised through Mal.4:5-6, Lk. 17:30, Mat.24:24, comes to pass

We asked why the Pharisees and Sadducees rejected, refused to accept the Ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ, to identify Him as the fulfilment of every O.T. prophecy concerning the coming of the Messiah.
Firstly we need remember that God blinded Israel, otherwise the Gentiles, us, would never have a chance at redemption and God could not have gotten His Gentile bride Jn.12:40; Rom.11:7; 2 Cor.3:18.
Secondly, the Pharisees and Sadducees had no desire to lose their power, their position, their wealth, their religious robes; to become commoners, to have their evil ways exposed through the TRUTH of God’s Word.

What is the attitude of today’s religious leaders?
Identical.
We find the Christian faith divided up like produce at a jumbe sale.
There are over twenty thousand denominations all claiming to represent Christianity.
Each of these claim to have some specific revelation or doctrine which the others don’t have, which means you must join their church if you want to get to heaven.
The Roman Catholics are the most perverse, the closest to the Babalonian worship of devils.
Their mass, their worship of Mary, dead saints, their trinitarian doctrine, (which perpetrates almost every denomination,) is Satanic; their pope sits on a throne, claiming to speak “INSTEAD OF THE SON OF GOD” and their number is 666.
Every other denomination is a descendant of the original Roman cult and are nothing more than sects and cults themselves.

We are not suggesting there are not sincere Christians within the congregations of each of these organizations, but God instructs us to “Come out of her My people that ye be not partakers of her sin” Rev.18:4.
There are millions of sincere people who have been deceived by denominations, who, like the Jews of Jesus’ time, have been brainwashed into accepting the doctrines of man in place of the Word of God.
God is always expressed Scripturally in the MASCULINE, and the churches are always described or typed in the feminine.
The Jehovah Witlesses are a prime example of Doctrines of Devils being used to hoodwink millions of gullible people.
There are many books available exposing their evil doctrines, their interpretation of God’s Word and yet they continue to prosper, why is this so?
Why do the peole prefer the doctrines of man to the Word of God?
Why do people, YOU, allow pastors, priests, popes, deacons, archbishops, nuns, etc., of any and every denomination, to look after your Spiritual needs, instead of finding out for yourself?
Yes, it is a confusing matter, trying to fight your way through the bucket loads of doctrines, interpretations, spiritual gurus, to find the Truth, but you are the only one who can do that.
Yes, there are people who may be able to assist you find information, who may be able to help you understand historical matters relating to Bible events, but, in the final analysis, it is ONLY GOD Who can show you what His Word means.
It is only God Who can reveal to you, THROUGH HIS WORD, what you need know.
We need remember the never ending supply of “New, Better” versions of the Bible are nothing more than means for shareholders and investors in giant printing corporations to make as much money as possible
Having used quite a wide range of interpretations this writer encourages any sincere person seeking to know the REAL God to stay with the Authorized King James version.
Every other interpretation has altered the Word in various ways, changing words, adding or deleting words, changing punctuation, etc.
Yes, it is good to have access to other interpretations as research books but we encourage the use of the K.J.V. as the source of your personal relationship with God; remember, He IS the WORD, and the K.J.V. is the only Bible which passes the numeracy test.
This we suggest is another demonstration of Lucifer trying to deceive, mis-lead those who are interested in finding out about God.
Religiosity, churchianity, have absolutely NOTHING to do with Christianity.

Yes, over the two thousand years of the Gentile dispensation, Christians have experienced an ongoing revelation.
Not addition to the Word of God, but gradual unfolding, exposing of what His Word contains for each of the progressive church ages.
Scripture says that no one seeks God, He puts His LIFE in His children, which causes them to want to know Him, and He provides the guidance, the tools, the support they need to meet Him.
Jesus spoke of the sheep HEARING the good Shepherd and another they will not follow and that is what is being explained here.
If you are a son or daughter of God it is His responsibility to come looking for you, to find you, to rescue you. To pull you out of the worldly confusion and we have nothing to do but learn to DIE to our thoughts, our ideas, our desires to help God get things done.
Jn.10:1 – 30 gives the best explanation of how God looks after His sheep, how He is in control, and by reading that you will soon determine what your relevance to your life, your salvation really is; NIL.

Doctrines of Devils usually involve ‘WORKS’; your doing for God; your witnessing, your door-knocking; your financial input, and most denominations, no matter how subtly, imply that you have to ‘do’ for God or you won’t make it
This is a lie of the devil.

If any Christian is responsible to work for our salvation we are hopelessly lost and Christ's death on the cross is made worthless.
Christians do good works BECAUSE they are saved, not to get saved nor, as the J.W’s so erroneously teach, to maintain their salvation.
If we are required to do good works to be saved, what about the thief on the cross next to Jesus?
He never got a chance to do good works, he never even asked forgivenenss of his sins, but the Lord said to him, “verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise’ Lk.23:43.
When we consider how adequately God saves, heals, provides and cares for His children, why do people want to get involved in religions where you are required to do any number of works.
Christians have to do aught but believe God’s Word.
That is all He asks of us, ONLY TO BELIEVE HIS WORD, and not change IT.
“Ye are saved by FAITH, NOT WORKS, lest any man should boast.”

Hello John R Nolan

John R Nolan · Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2007 12:12 am Post subject: Lucifer

Thanks for that Steven, I think we can safely deduce that Lucifer is satan's name, and thus is the same character who is the father of the religious leaders of Israel, Jn.8:44, my suggestion is that same principle applies today, Heb.13:8
It wasn't the simple folk, the sinners and publicans who rejected Him but the Pharisees and Sadducees, wasn't it?
Who are they who crucify to themselves the Son of GOd afresh? It has to be the religious leaders of this day who have personally interpreted, added to and taken from the Word, as did the Jews.
