Deceivers try to “enlighten” those whose faith is not rooted in the Spirit and soul.

Genesis 3:4-5

“Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:4-5

Some people attempt to distort God’s word into falsehood. “Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever.” Romans 1:24-25 That is why we need to let the Gospel of Christ live in our spirit and soul by the Holy Spirit, so that we can live by the Spirit and not by the flesh.

The serpent deceives people by posing as a righteous teacher and distorting God’s word with persuasive and convincing arguments. Jesus said, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:15-16 They are widespread among the churchgoers. The Holy Spirit says through the Apostle Paul, “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8

Through the Apostle Paul, the Holy Spirit clarifies the Gospel of Christ to us, “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 The Gospel is also explained like this, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

A modern-day serpent tempts people to cause their spiritual demise by offering them the fruit that enlightens them with extraordinary knowledge and keen insight. The entity which has power over physiology influences people’s feelings and thoughts, which makes them feel extraordinarily knowledgeable, remarkably enlightened, and highly intuitive. The human conscience is replaced by this entity, leading to the emergence of traits of psychopathy. They think they are godlike as they exalt their own will above God’s authority. They are so self-centered that they do not feel any guilt or remorse and do not think they need Jesus Christ to forgive their sins. They treat the Holy Spirit as an object to be oppressed, controlled, exploited, dominated, and destroyed.

Without God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit as their moral guides, people attempt to navigate life by their own standards of good and evil. That is the definition of humanism, which is the fig leaf worn by the thing promising empowerment through uncanny knowledge, humanism is “…an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems.”

The global government is pursuing its vision of a Garden of Eden on Earth, following the objectives of the United Nations, based on its own moral standards. Humanism serves as the fig leaf worn by the global culture of the beast by using righteous-sounding words to hide their intentions. For example, abortion is called “Health Care” or “Reproductive Rights” and the promotion of LGBQT+ lifestyles is done under the “Respect for Marriage Act”. The entity empowering people with uncanny knowledge and enlightenment enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people across the globe. People everywhere adopt the global culture and are groomed to the mark of the beast by their words and actions.

A powerful illusion of the entity that has power over physiology to form feelings and thoughts is to assure people that they will survive eating the serpent’s fruit of enlightenment and knowledge. People are filled with artificial emotions, endowed with remarkable talents and abilities, gifted with incredible physical prowess and performance, enhanced in their health, and enriched in their knowledge and intuition. They experience a sense of liveliness, comfort, and escapism from the soul-crushing spiritual death that plagues them.

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
