The Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred by Dr. Frank P Ferraro - HTML preview

• A disastrous solution from the tunnel vision of legalism

• A supposed cure-all prescription solution

• Something that people believe will solve all problems

• Something that people think will cure all illnesses

• A solution falsely guaranteeing to remedy a complex problem.

After aggravating the difficulties of life, Satan entices man with false solutions apart from Absolute Truth. Human viewpoint thereby supplants the Laws of Divine Establishment, Divine Institutions, the Gospel of Christ, and the Entirety of Bible doctrine. Panaceas captivate the ignorant, those who resent and reject Truth and arrogantly cling to many varied false premises.

A prevalent historic panacea is human equality, yet equality cancels freedom, the key to the creation of man and continued human existence. Socialism, communism, and altruism all claim to accomplish ‘good’ and provide better environment and equality for man but are operations from within the Cosmic Dynasphere systems of Satan based totally on Evil and designed ONLY

to provide great power to him to a very few human individuals. Although, compassion and generosity are virtuous practices by the individual Christian residing consistently within the Divine Dynasphere, Christianity is not supposed to be a program of social action. (John 12:8) Christianity is not a crusade to eradicate Evil or suffering from the devil’s world but a personal relationship with God under a system of personal spiritual growth. It is only the understanding and adherence to and applying of the 3 categories of Absolute Truth which provides genuine solutions to life’s problems. Any solution to problems in life which is sought apart from Absolute Truth is a cosmic panacea, a false, oversimplified and often disastrous solution derived from Evil.

Cosmic Panaceas thus show the other side of demon influence where there is not only degeneracy in a society but there is also the functions under Crusader Arrogance and other areas of Arrogance related to Cosmic Panaceas. Arrogant self-righteous people are always trying to improve everyone in their periphery according to THEIR OWN standards of improvement. Man’s personal attempts, under Human Viewpoint thinking, to improve the

Page #209 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

world are always conducted under the sponsorship of Satan, his entire plan and all of his policies relate to the implementation of Evil by means of Human Good production. Cosmic Panaceas are the inevitable result of persistent involvement in the Cosmic Dynasphere systems.

Seeking an individual or collective solution to life’s problems apart from Absolute Truth in its 3

categories (Historical Trend #9) results in those involved moving into this area of Cosmic Dynasphere influence, beginning with Crusader Arrogance which eventually degrades into the Antagonism of Cosmic Panaceas. This is therefore, trying to find solutions to problems of life apart from God and the 3 categories of Absolute Truth:

• Bible Doctrine

• Laws of Divine Establishment & Divine Institutions

• Gospel of The Lord Jesus, The Christ

According to the Elative Conclusion, Human viewpoint solutions to the problems of life are no substitute for divine solutions which are uncovered only by consistent residence in the Protocol Plan of God.

Cosmic Panaceas therefore reject the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions and ANY form of Salvation and Spirituality by Grace as revealed in orthodox biblical doctrine. This is the satanic administration system for Planet Earth and is the means by which Satan keeps so many of his disciples off the streets. Instead of freedom there is a demand for Equality which can only be achieved by coercion and slavery therefore the means of coercion, violence and slavery justify the End of Equality. Equality demands the full mobilization of the Arrogance of Envy. Envy is far worse than jealousy and basically is an individual saying, “You have something, I want it, I cannot have it so I will destroy it so no one can have it”. Under this system of all encompassing panaceas to life’s difficulties, the successful are taxed out of existence thus destroying success and redistribution of wealth occurs so that failure is then destroyed. By destroying Success and Failure, FREEDOM is totally eradicated. This is the concept behind Big Government and Little people where the State owns one’s property, life and even one’s thinking mind. Under freedom the state must be and always remain the servant of the people. However, when a nation degenerates into and functions under Crusader Arrogance and moves into the antagonism of Cosmic Panaceas, that central government based on Evil

rather than Truth must not permit autonomous development therefore there must be regulation and destruction of Private Enterprise along with the confiscation of private property. This is Utopianism, the Nihilistic Arrogance of recreating and refashioning all forms of human existence. This INEVITABLY leads to Violence, Terrorism and Revolution under what is justified by and called “Social Engineering”, the application of what is false to Life, the LIE of EVIL.

Eventually the state takes the children and trains them to be oriented to the dictates of the state rather than to the rules of the parents, therefore disobedience to parents is a requirement of a nation which chooses to function under the principles of Cosmic Panaceas. As a total rejection of freedom and authority as presented in the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions this instantly interlocks into the entire system of antagonism and then expands into many areas of the Interlocking System of Arrogance. As a result many believers are influenced by Marxism, Bolshevism, Menshevism, or some other form of socialism, or other anti-Biblical idealism which blind them to the Evil principles which lurk behind these.

Page #210 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

Therefore, this substitutes Human Viewpoint solutions from the interactions of Cosmic Dynasphere I & II, the Interlocking System of Arrogance and Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred. Thus Freedom is set aside for the demand for equality which can only be achieved by slavery. To promote Equality requires:

• Taxation of the Successful

• Confiscation of Property

• Nationalization of Industry

• Sameness characterizing the identity of the individual

• Big government and little people

• Redistribution of Wealth

• Utopianism as the arrogance of refashioning of all forms of human existence for the

‘greater good’

Under the principles of ‘Organized Evil’ in the name of the greater good, the government commits crimes, sets itself above the law, and therefore destroys the laws which protect the freedom, privacy, property and lives of its legitimate citizens. Therefore governments under marxism, socialism, and communism are anti-freedom and anti-God, though many Christian

organizations advocate their false doctrines and try to absorb them into Christianity.

Unfortunately in Human History, the DEMONSTRATION of God’s uncompromising character for

angelic creation, without freedom, the individual cannot have a destiny. Without legitimate authority, under the guidance of the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions, one cannot have freedom. Therefore, clearly Cosmic Panaceas are designed to promote the rulership of Satan on earth. He is the ruler of this world in name as a result of Adam’s failure in Eden, but, he becomes the ruler in effect through the entanglement of believers into the Interlocking System of Arrogance and Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred.

These are those BELIEVERS who cooperate with his systems to help his regime through Crusader Arrogance and Cosmic Panaceas. History has repeatedly demonstrated the failure of Cosmic Panaceas in the devil’s world. Eternity will be a demonstration of the total competence of God to deal with every problem and adversity of life. There is no solution to life’s problems based on a false premise or a false conclusion and Crusader Arrogance and its resultant Antagonistic Cosmic Panaceas add up to a false premise totally based on the LIE from Evil.

Rejection of the laws of divine establishment and the delegated authority assigned to them inevitably results in the substitution of false solutions to the problems of life. The problem solving devices of the protocol plan of God are thereby rejected, ignored or both. This is the believer who substitutes human viewpoint solutions for Divine Viewpoint solutions and thus becomes involved in satanic solutions and thereby involved in the satanic administration of this world. These human viewpoint solutions to the problems of life derived from the Lies of Evil within the Cosmic Dynaspheres are no substitute for divine solutions derived from the Absolute Truth of Bible Doctrine and functioning within the Divine Dynasphere, the Protocol Plan of God, the Power System of God under God’s GRACE principles. Cosmic panacea solutions

demand a full mobilization of Motivational Arrogance including Self Righteousness, Pride, Personality Arrogance, Authority Arrogance, Jealousy, etc., so that Functional Arrogance Page #211 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

including Religious Legalism and Christian Service Arrogance can be expressed through Crusader Arrogance invariably leading to overt Antagonism under the same categories.

The Equality Myth

No government nor any personal interest group can ever create equality in the human race and reality is that from birth to death there is total INEQUALITY in the Human Race. Only God can create equality, which He has done with the baptism of the Holy Spirit at the point of the individual choosing Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God. Two of the results of the Baptism of God the Holy Spirit are the creation of the Royal Family of God and the creation of a new spiritual species. These provide EQUALITY of Opportunity and Privilege for the new Christian. These two new creations are the foundation for the Christian Way of Life, the Protocol Plan of God. Therefore, clearly this myth of Equality is destroyed and there must be cognizance that Equal Opportunity is not equality. In fact, equal opportunity GUARANTEES

INEQUALITY, as demonstrated in both the temporal and spiritual realms. By creating equal opportunity in His Protocol Plan, God has guaranteed that in Eternity, there will be great INEQUALITY because in both temporal life and spiritual life there are and always will be some people who use their equal opportunity, and some who choose not to.

Ignorance of the Plan of God for mankind and the purpose of the Human Race even existing results in a failure of the individual to comprehend the stupidity of desiring Equality.

Generally in the Human Race today instead of a desire or demand for FREEDOM, the actual

reason man was created, there is a demand for equality, but in reality equality can only be achieved by Coercion and Slavery. Under these functions, both authority and freedom are sacrificed on the altar of equality. Therefore, Christians then seek solutions which include such things as taxing the rich to feed the poor, i.e., the redistribution of wealth, the break-up of successful business enterprises, the confiscation of personal property, the nationalization of industry, and the passing of laws to suit or conform with false distorted Bible Doctrine. Under this system, which is derived directly from Evil, the believer can only be characterized by one word, sameness. Everything must be standardized in man’s lifestyle to suit his mold of pseudo-spirituality and equality. Everyone must be of the same class, race, dress, way of life, and philosophy.

Within the Protocol Plan of God every individual believer has Equality of Opportunity and Equality of Privilege to execute to completion that Grace Plan of God and reach a status quo of Maturity Adjustment to the Justice of God and achieve a Tactical Victory in the Angelic Conflict Appeal Trial. However, even this operation of the Spiritual Life will inevitably and invariably be accomplished UNEQUALLY and result in UNEQUAL Escrow Super – Grace Blessings being distributed based on the capacity of the individual to handle them derived from the level of saturation of Metabolized Bible Doctrine in his soul. Therefore, the myth of equality as a desired status in the Human Race is simultaneously exposed and destroyed. Equal Opportunity is NOT EVER Equality and in fact, equal opportunity guarantees inequality, because each individual will use his God given volitional free will to CHOOSE, under FREEDOM of

Volition, to move forward in the Plan of God or to retrogress, revert or make NO progress at all. The provision of equal opportunity and equal privilege in the Protocol Plan of God, itself Page #212 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

has guaranteed that even in heaven there will be great inequality between Winner Believers and loser believers.

Under socialism and communism, to promote equality, there are many infractions of Freedom and this is a part of the EVIL system of administration of the world and the Human Race under Satan. Under the concept of equality, for the individual to be different in any way becomes a crime and the government cannot permit autonomous functions by the citizen. The State must, therefore, train children to be oriented to the dictates of the state instead of the standards of their parents as has occurred in the past with the Nazis and Chinese Communists. There is rejection of all aspects of freedom and legitimate authority within the function of the Laws of Divine Establishment. The RICH have supported the United States totally since Franklin Roosevelt was in office in 1932, yet the government wants to destroy the rich by taking their wealth and giving it over for government use in distribution to the non-working, lazy, useless, scum of society. This is socialism leading the nation to communism under the facade of utopianism. The individuals involved in functioning under Cosmic Panaceas claim to want to reshape the world for the betterment of the downtrodden and the poor people of societies, but in fact truly only want the power to control all people. Today, in this 21st century these people and organizations have now organized worldwide terrorist groups to facilitate this function.

Cosmic Panaceas & Arrogance

Involvement in Cosmic Dynasphere Panaceas in the Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred is a direct connection to Crusader Arrogance in the Interlocking System of Arrogance which is absolutely antagonistic to Truth. When an individual’s personal crusade is opposed by Truth this thrusts the individual instantly and directly into the Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred under Cosmic Panaceas which allow him to convert ANY

Arrogance he is involved in to overt Antagonism. 1Tim 6:3-4 is a description of Cosmic Dynasphere II, the Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred, and Arrogant believers involved in social action, who are trying to straighten out this or that thing in the world, who become hypersensitive about some organization with which they are associated. These are believers under intensive demon influence. Cosmic Panaceas therefore lean toward the government doing everything for the individual so that to be different in society, to function under one’s birthright of Freedom, becomes a crime. Therefore, functioning under Cosmic Panaceas attacks both Freedom and Legitimate Authority under the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions.

Cosmic Panaceas & Society

Cosmic Panaceas eliminate mutual respect in life, which is what holds any society or organization together. Only where mutual respect exists can there actually be leadership and teachability. Where there is a malfunction of the mutual respect principle in any organization, there is complete breakdown and failure. Cosmic Panaceas inevitably result in big government and little people. Thereby, Cosmic Panaceas advocate the criteria that make people slaves to the state instead of the government being the servant of the people. In a democracy, the absolute WORST form of government, the citizens become the slaves of the state while Page #213 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

constantly demanding rights they do not have and most certainly do not deserve under the distorted concept of Equality. Therefore, Cosmic Panaceas in any society always are based on collective self-righteous arrogance. Cosmic Panaceas are functions which begin within the Interlocking System of Arrogance and extend into Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred. Consequently, they promise all sorts of things that cannot be fulfilled. The people involved in them become totally divorced from reality and as an Antagonistic expansion of Crusader Arrogance, Cosmic Panaceas ultimately promote and result in violence. Some of the so-called ‘great’ Christian or ‘religious’ leaders of the 20th and 21st centuries advocate violence to get what they have falsely proclaimed as necessary for proper Christian function. They support violence in the destruction of property and even in destruction of life in the name of morality; e.g., bombing of abortion clinics, attacks on women seeking abortions, support of terrorism, etc. Cosmic Panaceas promote tremendous prejudice, warfare, violence, and terrorism. Christians functioning under Cosmic Panaceas seek to make all the laws of a nation Christianized, in reality moralized, which immediately makes every unbeliever a criminal.

Political Arrogance is a result of and an interlock with Crusader Arrogance and can involve and advocate any human Panacea which offers solutions to life’s problems apart from and in antagonism to God. “The end always justifies the means” is the motto of the believer in the Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred and his involvement in Cosmic Panaceas.

There is a total rejection of all aspects of freedom and authority. Cosmic Panaceas involves

‘social engineering’ as the tinkering with the Freedom and Authority of the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions, which were specifically designed by God to protect all persons in a national entity and to give them equal rights before the law, in order to protect their volition, privacy and to recognize the sacredness of their personal property and life.

Functioning under Cosmic Panaceas, as part of the Satanic System of Antagonism, under the premise of the greater good for the greatest number, government, functioning under the principles of Organized Evil, commit crimes, sets itself above legitimate law, and therefore destroys the laws which are supposed to be designed to protect one’s volitional freedom, privacy, property and life. This is not the purpose of legitimate government which is designed to function under the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions to provide protection for both believer and unbeliever alike. The whole purpose of function under Cosmic Panaceas is to promote and expand the rulership and control of Satan on earth. Satan as ruler of this world will be demonstrated through Human History to be totally incompetent and to have

failed to solve anything in the entirety of Human History under his rulership of this world.

Gate VII – The Antagonism of Religion

An additional discussion regarding Religious Arrogance and Denominational Arrogance can be found in the Interlocking System of Arrogance.

In systems of religion Absolute Truth has no place and the criteria for all religion is TRADITION. Satan and his policies of Evil are the ultimate source of all Religion and when it is opposed, the desire of the religious is to kill, to eliminate, to remove from the scene those Page #214 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

who oppose it. Religion expresses itself by seeking to kill the opposition. Saul of Tarsus was religious before he was saved and he sought to kill the opposition, every Christian he could find. This is islam. Therefore, clearly Religion is a relationship with Satan through Reversionism whereby man by his own efforts and merits attempts to gain salvation, spirituality or the approbation of God. Religion is always a form of Reversionism directly from function under the influence of the principles of Evil and invariably includes some type of legalistic Self Righteousness. Religion stresses the external superficialities of conformity and ritual. One of the greatest fallacies in religion is the attempted deification of man, the promotion of the dignity of man, the greatness of man whereas in reality man from physical birth is totally depraved as a result of possessing a GENETIC Old Sin Nature. Religion generally functions by producing Guilt which is a feeling of responsibility or remorse for some real or imagined offence or shortcoming and this is a primary motivator of religion.

Religion is Satan’s counterfeit to spiritual growth and for the Christian Way of Life in Maturity Adjustment to the Justice of God with Escrow Super – Grace and Escrow Ultra Super – Grace blessing and rewards. Religion is a key part of Satan’s plan, EVIL, a part of his strategy in the Angelic Conflict Appeal Trial and it is a distraction from the Christian Way of Life and a soul-destroyer. Christianity is NOT Religion but is a system where there can be a Grace based relationship with God; religion has no relationship with God. Therefore religion and regeneration are opposing antithetical forces in the Angelic Conflict Appeal Trial and therefore are mutually exclusive. Therefore, Christianity is a relationship with God through regeneration based on Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God while religion is a relationship with Satan through Reversionism. It is possible, therefore, for a Christian to be religious as a Reversionist.

Religion is how Satan organizes the world under the Cosmic Dynasphere systems. Any level of Negative Volition toward Bible Doctrine, beginning with the Gospel of Christ and the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions, causes the vacuum in the Right Lobe of the Stream of Consciousness of the Soul, which has been designed by God to draw in information, preferably Absolute Truth, to only drawn in aspects of the LIE from EVIL, particularly that related to Religion and Legalism. (Rom 1:18-32) Religion and Legalism, which are based on the principles derived from EVIL, always express themselves in rejection of the principles of Grace and eventually Opposition and Antagonism toward Grace. (2Tim 3:7-8, 2Pet 2:1-3) Religion disseminates itself and in every case it is by those who disseminate the doctrines and propaganda of Evil as religion and they only speak foolishness. The more one understands the Grace of God the more he will LIVE and LET LIVE and mind his own business and the fewer

illusions he will have about others and himself. The more entangled in religion one becomes the greater will be the antithesis of this where he will bully others, interfere in the business of others, become pushy and persecuting, with a focus on creating misery for and controlling all others based on HIS brand of legalism. This interlocks with Crusader Arrogance and Antagonistic Cosmic Panaceas. Therefore this expands Religious, Denominational and Legalistic Arrogance into Direct Overt Religious Antagonism toward Christianity, Bible Doctrine and anyone or anything which involves the Absolute Truths of God and his Grace Policy and Plan.

Thus, Legalistic and Religious Arrogance, when opposed or refuted by Absolute Truth from any aspect of Bible Doctrine, instantly thrusts the individual so involved into the Interlocking Page #215 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred where his Legalism and Religious Arrogance involvement become directly and overtly Antagonistic to the Plan of God. This is ISLAM. In the future, in the Dispensation of the Tribulation, the final years of the Age of Israel, there will be a group, as a result of having had Negative Volition at God Consciousness, who will be so taken in by religion and so Antagonistic to the Gospel when they hear it, who will form a great ecumenical religious system throughout the world. This very system of religion, which they adopt and to which they blindly adhere, will eventually totally destroy them.

The majority of people at the Arrest and Trials of Jesus were Antagonistic toward the Lord Jesus Christ. They were led by the chief priests, the Scribes and the Pharisees of Judaism; they were the religious leaders of Israel (2Cor 11) and the religious people in Israel. They were rationalists; they were politicians; they were not interested in Bible Doctrine of any kind, they were interested in power and the return to national supremacy of Israel. They were religious, legalistic, theologians full of false doctrine which they derived from distortions of the content and purpose of the Mosaic Law. They were the ruling body called the Sanhedrin and for

various differing personal reasons they were in total opposition to The Lord Jesus, The Christ.

The Sadducees as politicians saw the danger of having Christ as a potential King ruler who would overthrow them. The Pharisees, on the other hand, being zealous for the self-righteous legalism and religion of Judaism, were Antagonistic toward Jesus who taught the epitome of all that is Grace. Because religion is a development from the Evil Plan of Satan and since both groups were satanic in much of their viewpoint, they were both in total opposition to The Lord Jesus, The Christ.

Religion is a part of the devil’s strategy expressed in his desire to be “like the Most High God”. (Is 14:14) Religion and legalism begin with indifference to valid Christian principles but eventually ALL forms of religion unite in Antagonism against Jesus Christ. There can never be any harmony between religion and Christianity and sometimes before the gospel can be presented religion must be exposed for what it is. The gospel as a Grace provision from God, a freely given potential gift, and religion and all of its variations are totally antithetical to it.

Christianity and religion are therefore totally antithetical. In Christianity, God saves mankind as a result of man’s personal faith in Jesus Christ, his nonmeritorious acceptance of the freely given gift from God. In religion, man seeks to impress and gain approbation and acceptance from God with his human efforts or works. Therefore, clearly, religion and its accompanying legalism are Satan’s counterfeit of the plan of God for the believer. Religion is a KEY part of Satan’s policy of Evil, where man by man’s own efforts seeks to gain the approbation of God or the approbation of man. In religion man seeks God through his personal efforts, works or merits. (2Tim 3:5, Eph 2:9) Therefore, Satan’s most insidious ploy against the human race is religion. Religion is therefore, Satan’s key function in opposition to God, his greatest mechanism of deception for man and his greatest opposition to Absolute Truth on this earth.

Christianity is not a religion and through it God is seeking to provide man with the means to regain a personal relationship with him through faith alone in the Substitutionary Spiritual Death of The Lord Jesus, The Christ. (R om 8

:38-39 , Eph. 2:8)

• Christianity nurtures capacity for happiness when the believer turns over the control of his life to God through obedience to divine priorities and mandates.

Page #216 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

• Religion breeds unhappiness when the proselyte surrenders control of his life and custodianship of his happiness to a hierarchy of human beings who enforce ritualistic

systems of asceticism or lasciviousness.

Individuals who work for salvation and Christians who work for divine blessing distort Christianity into Legalism. They elevate themselves above the Plan of God and the Substitutionary Spiritual Death of Christ by emphasizing Christian service above His perfect, completed work of Substitutionary Spiritual Death for man’s sins on the Cross. Therefore, legalists always exalt human production above obedience to divine protocol.

Religion as a counterfeit of Christianity distorts in every imaginable way the principles of Bible Doctrine related to the Christian Way of Life. This is clearly and definitively illustrated by the apocryphal books used by the Roman Catholic religion, referred to as pseudepigrapha, are writings that claim an authority, an authorship, and a historical setting that they demonstrably do not possess, presenting themselves as if they belonged to the prophetic stream of the Old Testament Scripture when in fact they were written centuries after the cessation of prophetic revelation. These writings historically were produced between roughly 200 BC and 50 BC

during the intertestamental period, long after the prophetic office had ceased with Malachi and long before the Apostolic era, and they were composed primarily in Greek rather than Hebrew, further separating them from the Old Testament prophetic tradition. They were never included in the Hebrew canon preserved by the custodians to whom the revelations from God were

entrusted, they were never recognized by Jesus or the Apostles as inspired, they contain doctrinal, historical, and geographical errors incompatible with the character of inspired revelation. They were never accepted by the Jewish community, and never included in the canon recognized by the early Christian church. Their eventual inclusion in the Roman Catholic canon did not occur until 1546 AD at the Council of Trent, where they were declared deuterocanonical in response to the Protestant Reformation, largely because they supported doctrines the Roman Catholic religion sought to defend, such as purgatory, prayers for the dead, and the treasury of merits. For the first fifteen centuries of Church Age history they were not considered inspired Scripture, and their late adoption reflects false theological and political motivations rather than DIVINE authority. Thus they are pseudepigraphal because they falsely claim biblical authorship and authority, they are invalid because they contradict the doctrinal, historical, and prophetic standards of Scripture, they conflict with the message of the closed canon by introducing works-based and postmortem systems of salvation and forgiveness which are foreign to ALL biblical revelation, and they were written after the prophecy of Scripture was closed and added only in the sixteenth century, long after the canon had been closed in AD 98 with the completion of Revelation. This is the level of distortion possible in ALL religions.

Throughout the entirety of the history of the Church Age, from the day of Pentecost, when the Church Age began, there have been three trends regarding the “spiritual life”:

• Orthodoxy – the trend where believers retain residence and function within the Divine

Dynasphere, where everything is predicated on what Bible Doctrine teaches.

• Traditionalism – the trend of denominations which began as a reaction to Gnosticism and therefore led first to the development of Catholicism.

Page #217 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

▪ Eastern Catholicism – the Greek Orthodox Church.

▪ Western Catholicism – the Roman Catholic Church.

◦ These demonstrate no differences from any other large or small religious denomination

in that they ALL reject the absolute dogmatic Truths of Orthodox Bible Doctrine in

some area and substitute their own traditions.

• Cults – the trends involving various distortions to biblical principles and doctrines such as in the tongues movement, Christian science, the Jones Cult, Islam, Shintoism, etc.

The most basic principle for the later 2 is that the proselytes are always learning false doctrine false principles but they are never able to come to a full knowledge of genuine Orthodox Fundamental Bible Doctrine. Consequently religious people invariably oppose Bible Doctrine as a result of involvement in Religious Antagonism and become men of depraved minds, disqualified from blessing with regard to that which is Doctrinal. (2Pet 2:1-3) Groups like the 7th day Adventists and Jehovah Witnesses, take sound Bible Doctrine principles and distort them into principles to support the position of their religions. (2Tim 3:7-9, 2Pet 2:20-22)

Satan’s Key Opposition to Christ

The Water to Wine conversion at the Wedding in Cana (John 2:1-10) brought out the true person of The Lord Jesus the Christ and his purpose on this earth, This included Jesus expressing his attitude toward Religion. He had presented himself as the Messiah, the Christ, the God / Man in Hypostatic Union, the one to bring the potential for Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God to mankind. Then, in Cana, He presents himself as one totally opposed to religion which was and always is totally opposed to Him. Satan always recruits those who specifically reject Jesus Christ with Negative Volition toward the Gospel into his systems of religion. His recruiting program which precedes his training program includes:

• The individuals to be selected to serve Satan must renounce Jesus Christ by rejecting the Gospel persistently any time it is presented and do so with Arrogant indifference which

leads them into Antagonistic opposition in their renunciation.

• The Individuals are selected whose Scar Tissue of the Soul, from involvement in later stage reversionism, is definitive and extensive and has moved into the Left Lobe of the

and which will most likely continue so that persistent rejection of Christ keeps on accumulating the resultant scar tissue destroying their ability to even understand Absolute Truths at truth.

Therefore, religion is Satan's weapon for neutralizing Bible Doctrine and when it develops into Antagonism it will persecute, through legalism and false religious doctrine, the Grace Orientated believer in the Church Age. The hostility of Religion toward Grace is ruthless, senseless, inexcusable and diabolical and will continue throughout the Church Age. (Is 51:3) Religion is the greatest persecutor of people in history, it is always opposed to and resents Grace, it always has some legalistic system of human efforts or works; some system of pseudo morality, some system of bleeding heart do good liberalism, and this system is always in opposition to the Grace Plan of God. THIS IS ISLAM. Religion is like a weed which grows when it has

something to feed on and in any country where there is maximum universal Negative Volition toward Bible Doctrine religion infiltrates and overwhelms that area often merging into the Page #218 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

governmental system. When religion achieves a maximum level of saturation then sincere religious people always think they are helping God when they destroy Grace Orientated Christians. This was Saul of Tarsus.

Jesus told his disciples that they MUST complete the construction of their own Edification

Complex of the Soul so that when these things are presented to them they will not be shocked and disillusioned by them. Today religious leaders and people speak about brotherhood, equality, loving everyone, helping the poor, benefiting the greatest number, just like the pharisees, but tomorrow when the religious storm gains headway they will organize to KILL

believers in The Lord Jesus the Christ. THIS IS ISLAM.

Religion very often condones and supports violence and in 1969 the world counsel of churches at their international meeting proclaimed that if it is necessary for the down trodden to get their way and this called for KILLING, they would approve this. Whenever the religious storm develops into maximum Negative Volition toward Bible Doctrine and Christ, with degradation of one’s life to the point of Stage 5 of Reversionism, it opens wide the door to entrance into the Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred. As a result the answer is always the same, overt Antagonism as VIOLENCE and KILLING becomes acceptable. This was the Roman

Catholic Church and what they did to the Valdencians in Southern France. Religion always seeks to distort Truth when it is under restraint but when it gains control of a state and it controls the restraints, it always seeks to destroy the Truth which invariably exposes it as a LIE. This destructive pattern can only occur when there is maximum collective Negative Volition toward the 3 categories of Absolute Truth. As long as religion is restrained by the proper operation of Divine Institutions #1 and #4, Volition and Nationalism, and is forced to operate under the principle of separation of Church and State, Religion cannot do this.

However, when there are a maximum number of people functioning under Negative Volition

toward the Truth, religion develops incredible power and control over these people. They then presume or conclude, on a false basis, in their own mind, that they are doing a great service for God. They think they are bringing God a sacrifice that He likes, a spiritual service, a religious service, by which they will gain his approbation and some benefit from Him. This was Cain and again IS ISLAM. This points to the destructiveness and true Evil present in international denominationalism.

Therefore, Religion is Satan’s counterfeit for the Christian Way of Life under the Grace Plan of God for the Believer in The Lord Jesus, The Christ. Religion is a deception and distraction for both believer and unbeliever and is a key part of the plan and policy of Evil from Satan, to keep the unbeliever from the Truth of the Gospel, the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions, and the Believer from ALL the Truths of Bible Doctrine. Under the guise of religion Man by Man’s efforts seeks to EARN or DESERVE salvation or spirituality by appeasing God or other men. In Christianity God saves man after condemning him at birth so that Man can do nothing for salvation because it is totally provided by God through the Substitutionary Spiritual Death of The Lord Jesus, The Christ on the cross for all the sins of mankind. In religion man seeks God through his own personal work and merit while in Christianity God seeks man through the Efficacious, Expiatory Substitutionary Spiritual Death of The Lord Jesus, Page #219 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

The Christ and the nonmeritorious faith acceptance by the Believer. (Eph 2:8-9, 2Cor 11:13-15) Grace vs Religious Legalism

When one lacks Metabolized Bible Doctrine in the Stream of Consciousness of the Soul he does not have the provisions of God under Grace. When one lacks Grace provisions he moves into legalism and when he becomes involved in legalism he IS involved in religion. Whenever one is involved in any aspect of any religion he will have trouble, when trouble comes through religion he will be in slavery.

Religion always distorts and reduces Christianity into a system of ethics and morality, which it is not. Christianity is relationship whereby the individual is positionally placed in union with Christ and the life of Christ becomes his life. Most religious people are impressed by what they give up in order to be closer to God, especially if giving up causes them some pain or inconvenience. These religious people think that what impresses them impresses God.

Humiliation, in the sense of self-effacement is not a Christian virtue, it is an attack of religion and it is NOT the virtue of Humility. This attack is the result of the influence of that part of the Old Sin Nature which trends toward asceticism. Some people succumb to this religious attack by catering to asceticism. The obvious principle, then, is that religion attacks the Grace Orientation of Christianity in different ways because there is a great deal of difference between taking pleasure in self-effacement and in the worship of creatures or objects instead of God.

One has a religious source of influence from the Old Sin Nature directly, the other has a religious source of influence which begins outside of the soul with the idolatrous worship of creatures or things. In both systems false standards are used to attempt to influence others in the creation of false Norms and Standards and Scale of Values and force the adherence to these standards set up by Religion.

Religion with its Legalism opposes and hinders Grace as the greatest enemy to Grace. This was the distortion Judaism regarding prohibitions on the Sabbath. The whole purpose of the Sabbath was and continues to be misunderstood, therefore, religion is out of line and the believer CAN do things on the Sabbath (Sunday for the Church Age believers), he CAN continue to live his life as unto the Lord, not as unto a lot of mixed up, hypocritical, self-righteous, legalistic and ignoramus others. This means that all ceremonial functions in religion are incompatible with that which they are supposed to represent, GRACE.

The believer must be able to recognize the difference between the Truths of Bible Doctrine from Grace and the Lie of Legalism from Evil and the only way this is possible is through consistent Perception, Cognition, Inculcation & Metabolization of Bible Doctrine. Grace and Evil cannot and will not ever coexist and they are mutually exclusive, totally antithetical and Antagonistic one to the other. Legalism is a system under Evil to distort the functions of the Grace principles of Bible Doctrine and the Christian Way of Life, therefore it cannot coexist with Grace which is the POLICY of God toward His creation. Adding even a little Legalism to the Christian Way of Life distorts and ultimately destroys the entirety of all Christian Life function.

The members of the Sanhedrin were religious leaders with the exception of two Pharisees they Page #220 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

were all unbelievers. They were religious unbelievers, which is the worst type of unbeliever, because these are totally Antagonistic to anything which concerns the Grace of God, and therefore the Plan of God. These religious systems rely totally on what they can do for God to gain his attention and acceptance and thereby get themselves into heaven. A perfect illustration is that Circumcision was put forth by the Judaisers as being important for salvation and spirituality but Paul pointed out that he was circumcised while still an infant not later in life as many of these Judaisers were. In addition these Judaisers were supposed to be

“scholars” of the Mosaic Law and the Old Testament Scripture yet they did not recognize that Abram was a believer for almost 100 years prior to becoming Abraham and Father of the

Jewish Race and his circumcision was simply a demonstration of his FAITH, having reached Maturity Adjustment to the Justice of God, and was not in any way a part of his Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God. They used this ritual, without the reality of its true meaning, as a means of criticizing Paul, who did not teach circumcision as being needed for salvation nor for spirituality and as a result they were very Antagonistic toward his teaching.

These Judaisers took a great deal of time learning about ALL the rituals in Judaism and then when they finally accepted circumcision as an important ritual they thought they had made great advancement in their Spiritual Life and their approach to God. This is exactly the same with the ritual of Baptism today as used in many systems of religion including religious oriented Christianity. In Romanism the infant is baptized and said then to be saved but Catholics are taught that there are things that they can do which will erase that salvation and send them to hell. They therefore must work all their lives to be Good Enough to live with God in Eternity. Their ideas totally reject the principle that MANKIND is here to decide for himself to accept or reject the Plan of God or accept or reject the Plan of Satan apart from any merit on his own part and he cannot do that as a newborn infant.

Religion & Salvation

The rise of religion in world history must be considered from the perspective of the standard operating procedure for the approach to God in worship. The only way to approach God in worship is through nonmeritorious faith in the Substitutionary Spiritual Death of The Lord Jesus, The Christ. (Heb 9:22) The way of religion has no faith alone, therefore no regeneration, consequently NO Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God. Religion only involves the way of human efforts or works, the way of good deeds, the way of ritual without reality, the way of empty expressions, leading inevitably to no Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God, no reality and most importantly no relationship with God. The apocryphal books used by the Roman Catholic Church are referred to as pseudepigrapha whose content

conflicts with the message of the closed canon because they introduce doctrines that contradict the grace-based salvation revealed consistently from Genesis through Revelation, promoting salvation by works, alms giving as atonement, prayers for the dead, purgatorial purification, magical practices, and merit-based righteousness, all of which stand in direct opposition to the doctrinal structure of the completed canon as it stood in AD 98 when the apostle John closed the prophetic line with the Book of Revelation. They undermine the sufficiency and finality of Scripture by introducing concepts that the canon explicitly rejects, such as necromancy, angelic mediation, and postmortem atonement, and they violate the canonical closure established by the final warning of Revelation not to add to the words of the prophecy of this book.

Page #221 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

The first thing that Adam and Eve taught their children was how to approach God, how to make Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God. There were apparently three things that were taught to their children: (Gen 4:3, Gen 4:16)

• There was a place to worship.

◦ Cain and Abel both brought their offerings to a specified place which was an official

place for worship and it had been carefully designated to them in their childhood.

◦ It can be assumed that this place was at the entrance to the garden of Eden. (Gen

3:24)

◦ At the entrance to the garden of Eden there was most likely a mercy seat to illustrate propitiation which is the basic reason for the ability to approach God for worship.

▪ The blood of an animal was to be sprinkled over that mercy seat.

• There was a time to Worship.

◦ This was to take place at the proper time, or at the end of certain specified days.

• There was also a means of worship. (Gen 11:4)

◦ God could only be approached and worshipped by means of a sacrifice with the

shedding of blood.

Cains approach was with the fruit of the ground, the best vegetables and fruits which he cultivated and grew. However, this offering was bloodless, there was no shedding of blood and was in fact part of the EFFORT he and all males had been condemned to function under at the fall. (Heb 9:22, Gen 3:19) Cain’s approach was by human efforts and work, the product of his own sweat which is unacceptable to God and part of God’s curse on Adam. (Is 64:6) This beautiful offering this fantastic display of his efforts of cultivation was unfortunately cursed because the ground had been cursed. (Gen 3:17) Because this offering from Cain was a reflection of his Self Righteousness, his pride in his own efforts and work this was not acceptable to God who cannot ever accept human righteousness as a substitute for divine

righteousness. This is what religion always does, it ignores the Absolute Righteousness of the Substitutionary Spiritual Death of The Lord Jesus, The Christ for man’s sins and is always characterized by human good deeds, good works and relative self righteousness of man.

Religion just like Cain fails to recognize sin and the penalty of sin and the individual’s need as a result of sin and above all it fails to recognize the Absolute Immutable Perfection of the standards and values of the Righteousness of God and perfect function of the Justice of God.

Religion and Cain deny the curse of man, the fact that man was under a curse and totally rejects the only solution to that curse as requiring God’s help and God’s provision. The implication of Cain’s offering and Religious Legalism is that man does not need any help from God, he could do it himself. This is the exact purpose of the Power System of Satan, the Cosmic Dynasphere systems of EVIL. Both Cain and religion want a false front, a cover, not a cure for the need of man. (Matt 23:27-28) They both want to be seen as beautiful on the outside but on the inside they are “full of dead men’s bones”. Both Cain and religion prefer human viewpoint principles derived from Evil to divine viewpoint principles derived from Grace.

This is Human Viewpoint opinion which is perpetuated through rationalism, empiricism or

Page #222 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

emotionalism combined with rationalism. Human opinion often has high ideals, urging people to do good, to produce a better world for the benefit of mankind apart from God. These are the underlying principles of Evil. This always fails because the standards and values of Evil are flawed because they are totally based on the ARROGANCE of Satan, which means man’s plan is flawed just as because of his Spiritual Death man is flawed. Man is weak and must function under some outside power system and religion is based on the principles and policies of the Power System of Satan, EVIL.

However, Abel’s approach was to bring of the firstlings of the flock and of the fat thereof.

Therefore, Able had to KILL the animal to provide the Sacrifice for worship and this was acceptable to God because it reflected and illustrated the Substitutionary Spiritual Death sacrifice of The Lord Jesus, The Christ for man’s sins. (Heb 11:4, 1John 3:12) This was the Grace principle, approach through the blood of an innocent victim, the blood sacrifice approach. The difference between Cain and Abel was that one of them came to God in the

prescribed way representing the acceptance of the Substitutionary Spiritual Death of The Lord Jesus, The Christ and the other did not. One of them came to God through his own human

effort works and the other through divine Grace provisions. Abel’s offering acknowledged the fall of his parents, the sin, the curse and man’s helplessness. There was no arrogance involved and therefore this was accepted on the basis of the blood and the sacrifice which illustrated the Substitutionary Spiritual Death sacrifice of The Lord Jesus, The Christ provided by God.

Religion always has and always contends that a person can obtain Eternal Salvation by means of his own good deed efforts. These people absolutely refuse to exercise their volition through faith and accept the Substitutionary Spiritual Death of The Lord Jesus, The Christ on their behalf. They “walk through dry places”, they stick with religion. And yet, in their religion they are seeking refreshment but there is no refreshment in religion because religion is salvation by personal efforts or good deeds under systems of legalism. There is no refreshment in legalism, there is no refreshment in hypocrisy, nor in salvation or spirituality by works, there is no refreshment in self-righteousness. Today religion is under restraint because in this Church Age all that is required is that there be five people as mature believers in a pivot in some area and this puts a restraint on religion. This does not result in prosperity or blessing for that area but it does put a restraint on the Degeneracy from religion.

Jesus’ Answer to the Religious Leaders

Religion is the worst thing ever to happen to the Human Race and this world and is the

greatest hater of all, and was brought to the Human Race by Satan to distort the Grace Plan of God and the Christian Way of Life. The Lord Jesus the Christ discerned from the Metabolized Bible Doctrine in the Right Lobe of the Stream of Consciousness of His Soul, which was totally saturated with and operating on Bible Doctrine, the distortions of the Religious Leaders opposing him for performing miracles on their Sabbath day. His proclamation to them is what caused the Pharisees to become so Antagonistic that they wanted to KILL him right then and there and they dedicated themselves to his destruction and hated him with an intense hatred as a result of their fanaticism regarding their religion. Jesus said to the Pharisees that God the Father continues to exert his power to keep the Plan from Eternity Past working properly even Page #223 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

on the Sabbath. Then he said to them “I AM WORKING ALSO” and he used the same word in his exclamation for working. By using the same verb for HIS WORK as he used for God the Father’s WORK he was saying HE and God the Father were coequal and co-eternal, and that

He was just as much GOD as God the Father was GOD. This is what aroused their intense

Antagonism because he basically was saying HE IS THE LORD OF THE SABBATH and He can

therefore do whatever He wants to do on the sabbath and in fact He DELIBERATELY told the healed man to carry his bed because that was contrary to the Legalistic taboos of Judaism. It was at this point that the Pharisees dedicated themselves to His destruction. They despised Him with an extreme intensive hatred as only religion can hate.

The shackles of Legalism put on the people by religious leaders like the pharisees are almost beyond comprehension. When the healed man picked up his bedding and carried it from the SHEEP gate, which was supposed to represent or illustrate salvation, and carried it on the sabbath to the temple, which was supposed to represent the ministry and work of the Savior, Positive Volition believers would have cheered silently all through the city. Because Jesus had already discerned, from the ultimate source of the Metabolized Bible Doctrine in the Right Lobe of his Soul under the resultant Divine Viewpoint, that the religious leaders were constantly engaging in Antagonism toward him, so before they could object to his activities on the sabbath he answers them with an ATTACK. Jesus attacked them by rubbing their noses in

their Negative Volition and Legalism while he presented his Hypostatic Union as God and Man.

(John 5:17-20)

The Whole concept which Jesus expressed of ‘eating the bread of life’, grated on the minds of the religious legalistic hearers, it was Antagonistic to the hearers and offensive to them because they assumed he was inferring that they should be Eating His Flesh. Jesus was giving these people (gr) LOGOS, words of Bible Doctrine and they were to them, words grating on the

mind. These are all unbelievers whose minds have been irritated, antagonized and offended by the Grace of God and his provisions for salvation. As a result of the Antagonism generated first in the Religious Leaders then among the religious unbelievers there were assassins stationed on all the roads into Jerusalem waiting to kill Jesus when he came back to the city. The reason for the Antagonism of the religious leaders was that Jesus condemned their works of Religious Legalism as Human Good derived totally from Satanic EVIL. The Lord Jesus the Christ made a clear issue regarding GOOD, between Human Good production under Evil and

Divine Good production under Grace. As a result, the religious Jews could not contain their Antagonism and they reacted to what Jesus had said to believers about KNOWING Bible Doctrine and that this would make them free to serve God. ALL the Doctrinal and Grace

Oriented statements of Jesus GRATED on their mentality and offended their Legalism which was by this stimulated to become totally Antagonistic. This is the mechanism for anyone to move from the Interlocking System of Arrogance to the Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred.

Ps 37:12-15 describes the sword of the unbeliever seeking to persecute, to destroy, to neutralize the one who has made Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God. The wicked unbelievers sit and focus on someone who is the object of their hatred, and think of a myriad of ways of Page #224 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

hurting them. They meditate on Evil as revenge, they plan a system of antagonism under the principles of Evil. It is premeditated revenge by the wicked and retaliation against the believer who is consistently advancing in the Spiritual Life. By this means they constantly express Antagonism. Jeremiah in the Old Testament Scripture aroused the total Antagonism of the national counsel of Prophets and Priests in Israel at that time by his teaching of Grace. (Jer

20:2, Jer 17:1-6) Legalistic Religious believers and unbelievers constantly look for ways to retaliate against and to hurt the advancing or mature believer. The fact is that the unbeliever is Antagonistic toward the believer in principle, especially the believer who has used his time to reach and hold Maturity Adjustment to the Justice of God. The Lord “laughs” at these unbeliever religious antagonists to the mature believer because He sees the unbeliever’s day of judgment coming where in the plan of God he is removed. Therefore, the believer must

recognize that God has a very tall impenetrable WALL around him and he is in the center of God’s area for his protection even from this religious antagonistic persecution which WILL occur for the believer who reaches and goes beyond Maturity Adjustment to the Justice of God.

Satanic Counterfeits to Christianity

Religion is Satan’s counterfeit of the Plan of God for believers in Christ. Religion is Satan’s counterfeit system and often a distortion of Christianity designed to prevent the individual from making Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God and to distract the one who has from any functions in or under the Grace plan, purpose, and will of God for his life. Religion attempts to divert the believer from the execution of the protocol plan of God for the Church Age.

Religion is a part of Satan’s policy of Evil and requires man by man’s own efforts to seek to gain the approbation of God. (2Cor 11) Religion reflects the genius of Satan in devising his Plan of Evil. Christianity represents the perfect Omniscient working of the Integrity of God combined with His policy of Grace. In order for Satan’s deceit and deception to be carried out effectively in Human History, he has therefore devised a system of Counterfeits of Christianity:

• Gospel (2Cor 4:3-4, 2Cor 11:3-4, Gal 6:1-8)

▪ This is an information system designed to convert one to Evil, the policy of Satan.

• Ministers (2Cor 11:13-15)

• Prophets (Matt 7:15, Rom 16:18)

• Communion table (1Cor 10:19-21)

▪ The entire system encompassing idolatry.

• Doctrine (1Tim 4:1, 2Tim 4:10)

▪ “Doctrines of Demons”, a systematic concept of teaching by which his servants are

inculcated with Satanic policies and inspired to perform Satanic activities.

• Spirituality (Gal 3:1-3)

• Righteousness (Matt 19:16-24)

▪ This is a system based in Self Righteous Arrogance.

• Gods (2Thes 2:3-4)

▪ These ‘gods’ are simply representations of the same creature, Satan.

• Power or Dynamics (2Thes 2:8-10)

▪ This is the drive toward the better life, more or greater impact on humanity, etc.

• Way of life (Matt 23:13-36)

• Pseudo Maturity (Matt 23:1-35)

Page #225 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

▪ This pseudo system has its pseudo rewards directly from Satan and counterfeiting Escrow Super – Grace blessings from God.

Religion is Satan’s strategy for distracting homo sapien from functioning under the three categories of Absolute Truth:

• The Laws of Divine Establishment.

▪ Part of the Mosaic Law used under Religion seeks to become the state and thus

destroy human freedom.

• The Gospel of The Lord Jesus, The Christ.

▪ Religion distorts salvation by Grace through faith into many diverse systems of

salvation by human efforts or works.

• Bible Doctrine.

▪ Religion substitutes false doctrine, the “doctrine of demons” (2Tim 4:1) for the Absolute Truths of Biblical Doctrine

▪ Religion sets up a system of human efforts or works and ritual with taboos to

replace the function of the believer in the Protocol Plan of God.

Religion, as a system under Evil, motivates for the production of every category of sin, crime, and human effort good deeds accompanied by violence, terrorism, and even murder in order to enforce its way or to provide leverage to lure people into the sphere of these Satanic counterfeit systems.

Religion & Demonism

Demons are not affected by the devastating effects of large scale weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons which means that demons, fallen angels, can operate in any area

where any of the great sophisticated weapons are or have previously been operating. Both demon influence and demon possession is always identified with any form of religion all which are satanic developments. The point is that the headquarters for ecumenical religion in the tribulation is to be destroyed by nuclear weapons and the people at these headquarters will all be killed but the demons will continue to operate. The existence and continued function of demons in that location indicates that the great motivation and great sustaining power of any form of religion is demonism. Demons are always the sponsors of religion and in fact, religion in the scripture is called the devil’s communion table. (1Cor 10:19-21) Therefore, religion is one of the many ways in which, in the Cosmic Dynasphere systems, believers and unbelievers alike are strongly and directly influenced by demons. There can be passive submission to demons and their influence which is readily accomplished through religion, all forms of idolatry including phallic idolatry along with the illicit use of drugs. When involved in idolatry, one gives to demons what he does not possess, human sacrifice, the operation which violates the sacredness of human life; he gives to demons someone else’s virtue in the fornication of the phallic cult, a violation of both privacy and human virtue. Demon involved religion takes someone’s money, which violates the sacredness of human property, and gives it to the religion. Therefore, this false worship demands that one give to demons what he does not have. Therefore, religious organizations and all of the Cosmic Dynasphere systems are demon contact systems devised to neutralize any positive volition toward the any category of Absolute Page #226 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

Truth. For the unbeliever, positive volition toward establishment and the gospel; for the believer, positive volition toward the any of the Bible Doctrines of the Word of God.

Satan cloaks his most successful deceptions in the guise of religion, enticing the gullible who would never suspect they are being deceived by demons. Mysticism has been nourished in the United States of America by the influx of Asian religions, especially Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Christianity is not immune to the controversies surrounding demonism. Often believers wrongly blame carnality on demon possession while other believers think they must battle demons to grow spiritually. A primary weapon in this combat is exorcism, a spectacle which lures large crowds and lucrative offerings in worship services. Confused Bible teachers urge Christians to “bind” and “rebuke” the devil in order that they may be victorious in the Christian life. The average believer in the pew is being victimized by this focus on the spectacular. Therefore, gross misconceptions, distortions, and false teaching about demonism abound. A preoccupation with the demonic and offensive action against Satan distract many believers from the goal of spiritual maturity which can only be achieved through consistent learning and applying Bible doctrine. Only the infallible Word of God prepares and protects the believer so he can “stand firm (not oppose) against the schemes of the devil” (Eph 6:11).

Religion & Idolatry

Phallic idolatry permeated ancient religions and cultures. The phallus was symbolic of fertility, a vital economic concern in agrarian societies. Fertility worship, a feature of ancient Sumerian mythology, incorporated mystical orgiastic rites, ritual prostitution, human sacrifice, and other bloody rituals. The phallic cult was adapted to a variety of polytheistic religions from Sumerian to Greek civilizations. The phallic idolatry was an ingenious satanic attempt to replace Israel’s worship of Yahweh with the licentious rites of polytheistic worship. Baal worship mixed heathen deities with erotic rituals and demonic doctrines rendering the unbeliever participant vulnerable to demon possession. The supreme deity of the Canaanite pantheon was El, a satanic counterfeit of God the Father. Like the Greek god Zeus, or his Roman counterpart Jupiter, El seduced both goddesses and mortal women. His wife, Asherah, comparable to the Greek Hera, Roman Juno, or Babylonian Ishtar, presented El with a son

Baal, comparable to the Greek Dionysus or Roman Bacchus. In this demonic mythology Satan offered a counterfeit resurrection motif, a grotesque affront and preemption of the person and work of Christ. Baal eventually superseded El as the central deity of the cult. Baal’s enemy was Mot, the god of death, another Canaanite deity. The epic literature from ancient Ugarit relates that Baal was slain by Mot but later restored to life in an imitation of the resurrection.

The Canaanite phallic cult revolved around worship of these deities, arousing and catering to every base impulse and lust pattern of the Old Sin Nature. Specialized demons promoted sexual perversion, promiscuity, auto eroticism, homosexuality, lesbianism, orgies, masochism, sadism, etc. These degenerate practices appeared in every subsequent ancient civilization. (Ez

16:36, Lev 20:1-5, Deut 12:31, Lev 20:6, Lev 20:9, Lev 20:10-23).

All of the ancient idol worshiping religions had two or three things that should be kept clearly in mind. They had human sacrifice, all the sex they wanted and more, and they had ecstatics like the Christian holy-rollers. They put the whole package together, so that when there is Page #227 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

unlimited and unencumbered sex and the ecstatics of jabbering like the tongues movement, and a human sacrifice is included, it seems to cause a great evangelistic pull on the people. This involvement in idolatry is always a major distraction to historical uptrends because it contributes to social degeneracy and no nation can survive social degeneracy combining religion and sex into a cult of degeneracy.

Idolatry is the system of religion which was universally practiced by what is called paganism of the ancient world. There are three results of this idolatry as a system of religion which infiltrates Christianity:

• #1 – Fornication

◦ In Corinth fornication was quite widespread among believers because of the infiltration of religion just as it had been in time past in the Exodus generation. (Num

25:9)

• #2 – Presumption

◦ Testing God in the sense of begging Him to wipe out the idolatrous people. (Ps 78:18-

19, John 3:14-15)

▪ This is the carnal believer maintaining his carnality to the point of being removed

by the Sin Unto Death.

• #3 – Complaining

◦ This is a dissatisfaction with divine provision for Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God. (Num 16)

Asiatic religions offer a plethora of animate and inanimate idols, representing their various pantheons. The enticing snares of idolatry include the worship of icons, ancestor and hero worship, the licentious rites of the phallic cult, as well as more intangible forms of idolatry such as the worship of self, status, power, and money. (Col 3:5) In every generation idolatry lures faithful followers from every walk of life, thus inviting demonism which adversely affects both body and soul. Idolatry is spiritual adultery, unfaithfulness to the Lord, and contributes to divine judgment individually and collectively when enough people in a nation succumb to its deception. Historically, Satan has always promoted elaborate pantheons populated with major and lesser gods who demanded offerings, even human sacrifice. (Lev 18:21, Jer 32:35) These polytheistic religions captivated the Israelites and perverted the worship of Yahweh. So pervasive was the lure of demonism for the Jews that when God ordered Israel to annihilate the Canaanites for demonic practices, they ignored God’s command and spared them. As the debauched Canaanites continued to live in their midst, the Israelites were enticed to assimilate their demonic religion, even sacrificing their own children to appease the demons. (Deut 32:17) These insidious dangers of idolatry are the reason for the mandating of believers to separate themselves from all forms of this aspect of Evil. Though idols may be nothing more than wood or stone, they represent demons. Idolatrous religions promote demonic doctrines and unbelievers enmeshed in the idolatry of religion unwittingly worship demons and risk demon possession. The fascination with fortunetelling and psychics corroborates the success of divination as a satanic scheme to distract people from the plan of God. Interest may begin as innocent curiosity, reading a horoscope in the daily newspaper, calling a psychic hot line, Page #228 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

playing with Ouija board or tarot cards. The popularity of eastern religions and ideas has made such divination much more acceptable. These and other long-suppressed demon pursuits surface periodically like scum on a pond to spawn a plethora of Evil practices condemned in Scripture. Mysticism permeates Eastern religions and Hinduism. Taoism, Shintoism, Buddhism cultivate mysticism as the pathway to God. Eastern religions influence the Theosophical Society founded in 1875 by Madam Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and Colonel Henry Steel. The entire New Age movement is a direct descendant of Theosophy. The beginnings of Islam and Mormonism both derive from a mystical apparition, the appearance of an angel who claimed to provide new divine revelation. People who adhere to these empty religious forms (2Tim 3:5) imagine that they worship the only true God, while in their unbelief they actually give tribute to Satan.

Religion & Separation

John the Baptist preached and the people kept on going out of Jerusalem into the desert, because those who kept coming out to hear him were hungry for the Truth of Bible Doctrine.

The desert not only infers that there were no people permanently there but it also means that he was overtly and dramatically separating from religion. There are many ministers today who are regenerate believers and who seek to teach the Truths of the Bible, but their ministry is destroyed because they are compromising with religion, they have not separated themselves from that apostasy. The idea they adhere to is that they will attempt to straighten the system out from within, however, that is not the way God works. John the Baptist as an example demonstrates that God takes a man, puts him in an impossible place, gives him a message, and this tests the volition of the people, they must CHOOSE to go to him to hear the message of God. The principle is that no man can be effective in any communication ministry and compromise with religion.

If a believer is in an apostate religious system, a cult of any kind, including may ‘Christian’

organizations, he will be judged or disciplined by God as an apostate believer. He is guilty by association because one of the first principles of doctrine he must learn is to separate self from any religious organization. When it comes to personal time, the time when one is away from business and away from work, then he is required to maintain the high standard of separation from any aspect of religion. Believers who fail to separate themselves from religion will be disciplined because of association with it. There are two ways that believers are disciplined because they fail to obey this command.

• The principle of association

◦ Association infers that one is as pure as the driven snow but has linked with an

apostate religious organization.

• The principle of participation

◦ Participation infers that the snow of purity has started to melt and is mixing with the mud of apostasy.

The mandate for separation demands that one stay away from any overt form of apostasy

especially apostate religious systems:

• Separation from religion and apostasy. (2Cor 6:17, 2Tim 3:5)

Page #229 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

• Separation from religious people involved with emotionalism, and legalism. (Heb 13:13) These passages all demand that the believer separate from any group that separates him from his right pastor and the ministry of his right pastor. Therefore, separation from religion and apostasy is the direct result of staying under the ministry of one’s own right Pastor Teacher.

The believer must remember that the key to separation is in the thinking. The more Bible Doctrine one metabolizes, the more Bible Doctrine he understands, the more he will stay away from apostate groups, organizations or churches. That is extremely difficult for people who have been in church organizations for prolonged times, some of which are merely social organizations but which have a strong trend toward liberalism. These people have for all of their lives had their friends in one of these organizations, the denominational churches. It is extremely difficult to break from those lifelong friendships. The believer must listen to and metabolize doctrine long enough to understand the issue and then make their decision on the basis of the Metabolized Bible Doctrine in their own Right Lobe of the Stream of Consciousness of the Soul. The problem for all believers is that when one compromises with religion, which is the devil’s ace trump card in this ‘game’ of the Angelic Conflict Appeal Trial, he may not compromise mentally and his sins and failures may be the same that he would have in a good Bible Doctrine Oriented church, but there is still the principle of Judgment by Association.

Therefore, when that cult or religious organization IS judged by God, and it will be, he will be punished by association. Both Judgment by Association and Judgment by Participation mean Guilt, and the fact is that Sins related to Religion is contagious to the religious ones so that once one becomes involved in religion and gets a little religious entanglement, then he is vulnerable to the contagion.

Separation, then, is an application of Bible doctrine, but it is today a somewhat limited application. Believers should not separate themselves from the normal functions of life; however, they must separate from religion, from what is false and apostate in teaching, and in social life from people who might have a detrimental influence on them. Separation is the application of Bible doctrine which can only be effective when believers function under proper priorities, and the priority must be virtue first. The importance of understanding God’s plan for one’s life is a major issue. Putting virtue first above all else will actually resolve where and when one should make applications of Bible Doctrine and where he should not. The importance of understanding God’s plan for one’s life and setting up priorities based on Perception, Cognition, Inculcation and Metabolization of Bible Doctrine putting Virtue First includes everything related to sorting out in one’s mind with whom he has contact and those with whom he does not have contact. It applies primarily to one’s spiritual life and social life, outside of one’s occupation or profession. It is imperative, then, that the believer understand this separation in the light of God’s plan for his life.

Separation is an extremely important principle of Bible Doctrine because the believer must always be in touch with reality and his reality must come from Metabolized Bible Doctrine in the Right Lobe of the Stream of Consciousness of the Soul and its application to situations and circumstances in his life. Therefore, the more he accumulates Metabolized Bible Doctrine in the Right Lobe of the Soul the greater the potential for his being oriented to reality. However, if Page #230 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

and when he gets entangled in the Cosmic Dynasphere systems, then he invariably loses touch with reality through preoccupation with self in Cosmic Dynasphere I and through antagonism toward Absolute Truth in Cosmic Dynasphere II. Therefore, Religious Antagonism in Cosmic Dynasphere II is closely tied with a failure to separate when necessary. When involved in the Religious Antagonism of Cosmic Dynasphere II the believer invariably links with religion, antiChristian organizations and antiChristian ideas. Once he becomes divorced from reality being in the Cosmic Dynasphere systems he very often punishes self, with incredible Self Induced Misery. However, once the christian has become spiritually self-sustaining he will always despise religion and therefore will never be sucked into a religious system.

Religion & Criminality

Wherever one finds a heavy concentration of religion he will often find a heavy concentration of gangsters and organized crime. Professional gangsters and religion frequently go together!

The fact is that there is an inherent criminality in religion. In arrogance, the criminal rejects legitimate power and authority. Arrogance disowns responsibility and makes God or someone else the scapegoat. Religion allows the criminal to cloak himself in a mantle of respectability and gives him the idea that he can work to assuage the guilt of his criminality, make amends or atone for his crimes. A criminal may wear a cross to give a good opinion of himself while committing a crime. Religion is a criminal activity and martyrdom, the murdering of believers, is a criminal act. Religion becomes criminal at the point when anyone involved in religion tries to control, to gain power, through a religious system and when they use any form of terrorism, violence even murder they become criminal. The criminality of the National Council of Churches can be demonstrated in their giving money to terrorist groups or supporting terrorist organizations. Therefore, individuals might start out with true Bible Doctrine principles but once they sponsor any form of violence or indicate that violence is a solution to any problem or seek to gain converts through violence, they become religious and at the same time they become criminal. This is islam. When any religion is involved in any way with terrorist activities, this is criminal behaviour. Often this occurs when religion is frustrated by the attempt to seize more power, frustrated by the power of God which they don’t possess, then religion, as a Satanic organization, invariably resorts to violence and murder to accomplish its objective, to gain influence and power through terrorism.

Criminality is often the result of religion. The first example of this Cain who killed his brother Able. In 1John 3:12 he is said to have cut his brother’s throat with a sacrificial knife. This tells us that Cain actually watched his brother during his brother’s worship and said to himself that “if that knife will kill an animal by cutting its throat it will kill my brother by cutting his throat also”. The very means of expressing worship became the means of the first murder.

This demonstrates the genius of Satanic distortion of Bible Doctrine. Cain was both a murderer and a liar, he killed his brother and then lied about it. Cain was an unbeliever so that the principle becomes clear that ALL maladjustment between man and man results from maladjustment between man and God. Because Cain was not related to God through regeneration he was maladjusted to members of the human race. This was the clear orientation of the Italian Mafia who were generally very devout Catholics but also overt criminals which clearly demonstrates the activity of religion.

Page #231 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

Justice demanded that the Lord seek out Cain, since he is the first criminal, and that judgment be administered. The Lord used questions to seek to awaken Cain to the reality of his sin but the first murderer in the human race followed up his murder with a lie. The principle here is that religion and religious people use sin to cover up sin. Not only did Cain lie but he came up with means of evading responsibility by attributing it to others. He said, “I my brother’s keeper?” as if to say in effect that the human being does not have responsibility for others in the human race. This was contradictory to the principle of Bible Doctrine related to the Divine Institutions #2, #3 & #4.

Murder is one of the seven greatest sins, so Cain must have been shocked to discover that he had neither defense nor excuse with God. God’s judgment put Cain under a double curse with regard to the earth. Because the earth was made to drink innocent blood, Cain himself would no longer be successful as a farmer. He was to live by killing and therefore had to become a hunter. In addition to that he is also sentenced to be separated from the rest of the human race. Capital punishment had not been instituted at this point or he would have been executed and capital punishment was not instituted until Divine Institution #4, nationalism, came into operation in Genesis 9. Cain then appealed his case to God and his appeal demonstrated that he was more occupied with the consequences of his sins than the sins themselves. This is typical of religion and religious people. They are always more concerned about what is going to happen to them than the fact that they are sinners. Religion blinds the individual because of involvement in both Arrogance and Antagonism and because it has completely distorted

Norms and Standards and Scale of Values. The underlying principle from the Absolute Truths of Bible Doctrine is that the citizens of the human race are not authorized to take judgment into their own hands, there are to be administrative procedures for handling crime under the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions within an established National Entity.

Criminality is always a sign of failure in life. There is no system of criminality that has ever existed that is composed of anything by losers. There never was a criminal who was a winner.

They are always losers, because they have failed to function in life under the principles of legitimate societies, they are frustrated in life, they try to compensate for their failure and their frustration by using some form of violence or terrorism. Criminals are losers in life because they are the products of their own lust, their own bad decisions and their deep entanglement in the Interlocking System of Arrogance and the Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred. Religion encourages luxury and this results in the criminal and slavery because when there is a rise in the demand for luxury items and economic prosperity this guarantees that certain people will be enslaved to guarantee its perpetuation. Where there is luxury there is crime, and where there is crime there is slavery. Luxury is a matter of personal taste and a matter of the ability of one to afford luxuries and religion often results in providing both for its hierarchy. Because the source of luxury is economic prosperity the resultant slavery ultimately turns economic prosperity into a form of degeneracy. Religion having no true capacity for life is characterized by lust and greed which causes religion’s great demand for luxury items. (Matt

6:24, Luke 16:13)

Religion & Security

Religion often fantasizes its power into a system of false security and this is something that people often do who suddenly become successful or prominent or famous in some way. They fantasize the publicity and the attention, into a system of disorientation to reality and disorientation to reality is one of the characteristics of life in the Cosmic Dynasphere systems.

This disorientation to reality results in a false sense of security, false confidence, which comes from popularity, social power, admiration, wealth, success or a combination of these things.

The result is a saturation of Arrogance and just as the Plan of God is the only means for one to Glorify God, so religion is the means of only glorifying man or Satan as the author of religion. When God chooses to eliminate the saturation of religion in an area or period of history there is a suddenness of divine judgment which only appears to be sudden because there has in reality been a long buildup of a false sense of security. Anyone who builds his security on anything in this life has a totally false sense of security. The Security of the Church Age believer, the Royal Family of God, must be built upon the content and structure of Bible doctrine which is metabolized into the Right Lobe of the Stream of Consciousness of the Soul. Without Metabolized Bible Doctrine in the soul, the completion of the Edification

Complex of the Soul and reaching Maturity Adjustment to the Justice of God in the Divine

Dynasphere, there is no way that the believer is going to have a true sense of security and a true orientation to reality. Reality for the Royal Family of God in this Church Age MUST be the Grace of God. The believer must be oriented to the Grace of God, to the Essence of God, the entirety of His divine character and how they function, His policies, His system, all that He has provided for the Church Age believer. God has a plan for each and every believer in this Church Age this must be the focus of one’s orientation and NOT on temporal success, approbation or fame. When the Judgment and Divine Discipline comes as a shock to the believer it simply means that the whole process of fantasizing, the whole system of putting arrogance into action in one’s life, the whole false system of security and subjectivity, is a house of cards and it inevitably rapidly comes tumbling down.

6 Characteristics of False Religious Teachers

Religion’s false teachers will continue to operate throughout the Church Age, as this is the intensified period of the angelic conflict, and also into the Tribulation where their functions will reach a peak. These individuals, being irrevocably entangled in the Interlocking System of Arrogance and the Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred are described as antiChrists and Enemies of God and the Cross (the Substitutionary Spiritual Death of The Lord Jesus, The Christ providing the potential for Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God). (Phil

3:18)

• They are Masters of hypocrisy using a phony public relations pleasing facade to appeal to people. (Matt 7:15, Rom 16:18)

▪ They flatter their victim, making them feel wanted and by appealing to their pride

and approbation lust.

• They use legalism to stimulate the individual’s desire to EARN heaven to convert their victims to religion. (Gal 4:17-18, 2Tim 3:5-7)

• They appeal to all aspects of human arrogance. (2Cor 10:12)

Page #233 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

• They promote every type of idolatry as a part of the devil’s communion table. (Hab 2:18-

19, 1Cor 10:19-20)

• They promote self-righteous arrogance, legalism, personality arrogance, authority arrogance, crusader arrogance, and human works arrogance which all inevitably lead to

Religious Antagonism. (1Tim 1:6-7)

• They are very clever and can only be detected through the consistent Perception, Cognition, Inculcation and Metabolization of Bible Doctrine in order to identify their false teaching.

Religion includes the worship of Satan, who, as the ruler of this world, possesses great power and delegates his power to whomever he pleases. (Rev 13:4) Paul describes religious leaders, the Teachers and Prophets of Religion, in 2Cor 11:13-15, and Peter does so in 2Pet 2:1-3. The hypocrisy and complete lack of loyalty on the part of Satan toward those involved in his Power System is demonstrated by the greatest physical attack of Satan in Human History using his second demon assault army against the human race. This attack will be made against Satan’s own human servants who are no longer useful in his plan. He has no further use for these losers so he turns his demon army on them, but he saves this religious group in the Cosmic Dynasphere system for his last attack on the human race; the attack on Ecumenical Religion at the end of the Tribulation. (Rev 17+18) This is RELIGION!

Religion & Self Destruction

There will be a group of people at some future point in Human History in the Tribulation period, who will be totally deceived by religion, then they will be completely destroyed by religion. This will be part of God’s DEMONSTRATION that religion, when it has maximum

authority over a people can only completely destroy its adherents and that the greatest enemy of mankind is that Satanic attack upon the human race called religion. All divine judgment comes from the same source as divine blessing, the Justice of God, and some of the greatest blessings that come to the human race come in the form of judgment, because certain segments of degeneracy must be wiped out and certain segments of religion must be destroyed. The greatest enemy to the destruction of the human race is not in the field of sophisticated weaponry, not nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction, but on the one hand degeneracy and the inevitable result of self-righteousness in religion on the other. Religion and degeneracy are far more dangerous than any of the weapons of mass destruction or any human power that has ever existed or ever will exist on the face of the earth. Degeneracy and religion are man’s two greatest enemies because both result from the operation of man’s own volition. Therefore, clearly left to his own devices man will use his own volition to destroy himself. This is clearly evident in the self destruction evident when there is saturation of man, individually or collectively in the Interlocking System of Arrogance or his degradation by moving down through the 8 stages of Reversionism. Man would not be here today were it not for the fact that God has judged the human race periodically to remove the saturation of degeneracy and religion.

These judgments are all that has enabled the perpetuation of the human race and has avoided its self destruction.

Religion therefore, obviously confuses the thinking of the people. Religion also stifles freedom Page #234 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

wherever it dominates. Christianity promotes freedom especially volitional choices, which in fact is the entire basis for the existence of man in the first place. Absolute Truth promotes freedom by demanding choices for or against:

• Gospel of Christ

• Laws of Divine Establishment

• Bible Doctrine

However, religion is always a perversion and a distortion of truth. Hypocrisy is a term which was used repeatedly in connection with legalism and religion by John the Baptist and The Lord Jesus, The Christ and this hypocrisy is not used in connection with morality or ethics.

Religion & National Destruction

No nation can be a client nation to God unless it has one culture only; many religions, many races, but ONLY one culture. It is fascinating to note that the Roman Catholic church was never satisfied with being a religion, it wanted to be the culture and the government. And wherever that religion became the culture instead of merely staying as a religion it caused a terrible vacuum in history. Today there are literally hundreds of thousands of people in South America, Central America and Mexico who are communists because of their antagonism toward the Roman Catholic church. No religion should ever be the culture of the nation. The culture must always be related to freedom and the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions which are for believers and unbelievers alike. Therefore, a nation can have many religions and many races, but ONLY one culture. Once a nation becomes multi-cultured it destroys itself.

The toleration of more than one culture invariably destroys the freedom of the nation and freedom is an absolutely essential part of the function of the Client Nation to God.

Religion always has more power than culture and when religion becomes the culture of a

nation, a people, a tribe or a group there is always exploitation and Satan will use religion, unconventional warfare, conventional warfare, especially antisemitism to exploit people. It is religion that frequently starts wars; furthermore, religious wars are the worst kind, they are the most brutal and it is the very intensity of religious wars which demonstrates their relationship to demonism. Satan’s war demons have been functioning in the field of violence, terrorism, and warfare since the antediluvian age and the days of Hercules. There must be a separation of religion and state, a separation of social life and state, so that no such organization can influence the policy of the state. When religion seeks to become the state it is a bad decision, and therefore Evil cancels Evil when God then uses Evil to punish evil. All dispersion and punishment of nations such as Israel is based upon the infiltration of religion. (Lev 26:1) God uses one system of Evil to cancel another system of Evil under Finesse Judgment, so the bible teaches that the revived Roman empire of the Tribulation is a system of political Evil and God uses that agent for the destruction of ecumenical religion in the Tribulation. Consequently, ecumenical religion will be destroyed by the agency of the political Evil that originally sponsored it. All of the countries surrounding Israel had religions of heathenism and while their armies could not conquer Jerusalem their religions repeatedly did. Therefore the warning to Christians regarding religion and separation comes because in Israel the believers themselves had ignored the Word of God. Once religion comes then divine discipline follows. When Christianity tries to be the state, or influence the state through revolution, through violence, Page #235 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

through any of the systems of social action or civil disobedience, it becomes apostate. The apostasy is a religious apostasy and Christianity destroys itself and the state.

Be aware that the greatest destroyer of any nation in the history of the human race is the infiltration of religion. Most failing nations are not destroyed from without, they destroy themselves first from within and this is destruction by religion and degeneracy which leads aggressive Evil nations to invade and overcome them. Religion may take many forms, e.g.

Romanism, Communism, United Nations-ism (which has certain aspects which are comparable

to the heathenism of ancient times), the World Council of Churches, etc. Whenever religious organizations from any origin gain the ascendancy then that nation is ultimately destroyed.

Therefore, religion is the fuse, that once lit inevitably blows up a nation, destroying the national entity. The greatest enemy of any national entity therefore, is religion. Consequently, there is a dogmatic principle of judgment which says that when God puts the finishing touch of JUDGMENT on a nation there is absolutely nothing that can stop it, it cannot be reversed.

The golden calf incident was the first religion for the Jews to become involved in after the Exodus. If the golden calf incident had succeeded there would have been no nation Israel.

Religion will destroy a nation and in this case Satan tried to keep the Jews out of the land by infiltration of religion using the idolatry of the golden calf incident. During that time the Levites were in opposition to this because they as believers were saturated with Metabolized Bible Doctrine. These and other believers saturated with Bible Doctrine had a great impact on Israel and Moses himself was a Levite. When this attack of religion came it was Levi who was faithful because knowledge of Bible doctrine is the only antidote to religion.

Some students of biblical history question why God commanded the Canaanites to be utterly destroyed. The underlying reason was that they were involved in a system of international religion, and international religion goes hand in hand with degeneracy. Had this degeneracy of the Canaanites continued the human race would have been destroyed as a result. God understanding the ramifications of their degeneracy ordered their complete destruction in the same way that one would isolate a dog suspected of hydrophobia, and then destroy it. One of the objectionable phases of the activity of the Edomites throughout their history, from the time of the Exodus to 70 AD, was their engagement in the horrible religious practices of child sacrifice as part of the Canaanitish religion. (2Chron 25:14-15, 2Chron 25:20) In this 21st century there are two trends in the United States of America:

• The rise of religion and the suppression of Christianity

• The rise of both individual and collective Degeneracy

The influence of the advancing and mature believer on this country is spiritual, but there is a counter influence to this. Satan influences countries through the antithesis of the spiritual power of Bible Doctrine, he does it through religion. Religion is as detrimental to a nation as believers advancing in the Divine Dynasphere is a blessing to a nation. Unfortunately, based on their human nature, many believers prefer the substitution of human power for divine

dynamics, they feel like they must EARN their place in the Plan of God and this is exactly how they fall into the Cosmic Dynasphere systems of Satan.

Page #236 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

The function of religion is like a fire which is started on purpose with the dead brush, the briers and the thorns at the edge of a forest to clear out the thorns. This is the scheme of the religious group and being integrally attached to Legalism and Human Good production these people have all these ideas about socialism and helping the downtrodden and providing equality for all, etc., they intend to do whatever it takes to get rid of the thorns in a society. They are going to clean up all the distasteful things and elevate the distasteful persons to a more tasteful level according to THEIR OWN standards. They are going to set fire to the thorns but the thorns burn the trees on the edge of the forest, and the trees on the edge of the forest don’t stop there but burn down the entire forest. A nation is a forest of people and religion often advocates solutions to the people problems in a nation which burn down the nation. The point is that one cannot burn out the thorns in the forest of the nation with man-made solutions to problems and save the forest, and this invariably and inevitably destroys the nation through socialism, communism, universalism, religion-ism, welfare-ism.

Internationalism is the governing of more than one region, people or nation under one centralized government. Believers are commanded to be faithful to their own national entities in Rom 13:1-7. No form of internationalism is ever acceptable to God, and this includes political internationalism such as communism, socialism, and also religious internationalism such as certain oriental religions, the Roman Catholic Church, the World Council of Churches, islam, etc. The United Nations as a form of political internationalism is totally based on and saturated by EVIL. Christianity is therefore 100% opposed to any form of internationalism. In any of its forms, internationalism is a vicious attack upon divine institution number four, nationalism, and it also destroys divine institution number one, volitional freedom. The Tower of Babel was a combination of political and religious internationalism. Internationalism is always a Satanic device to try to frustrate the plan of God by breaking down, infiltrating, and opposing the plan of God and thus destroying any aspect of FREEDOM.

Whenever Satan starts a religious organization to counteract the doctrines of the Word of God a demon organization is always involved. When he finds the need to establish a new religion somewhere, that religion is made to be compatible with the culture of that area, this was the development of Mormonism. Some of these religions are international in character and some are local. Mormonism began as a localized religion and has since become international, as have others, such as the so-called Jehovah’s Witnesses. During the Church Age religious internationalism will be active, but it will never be as strong as in the Tribulation when it will reach its peak. Internationalism in any form, results in a maximum destruction of human life on the earth, a minimum use of free will or freedom, maximum negative volition toward God, and a minimum amount of evangelism.

In Matt 23, the Lord Jesus Christ is discussing the indictment of religion and He condemns religion because it destroys a nation. There are seven condemnations by The Lord Jesus, The Christ with regard to religion:

• Verse 13, religion blinds people to the truth of the gospel

• Verse 15, He calls religion the children of Hell

Page #237 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

• Verse 16, 24, He calls the religious leaders blind guides

• Verse 23, He labels religious organizations as thieves when religion gets people to tithe

• Verse 25, 26, He labels religious leaders thieves and lawless

• Verse 27, 28, He labels religious leaders as unclean like tombstones

• Verse 29, 30, He labels religious leaders as hypocrites admiring great believers in the past but lacking any understanding of Grace

• Verse 36, He explains that all of this will occur for the generation which subscribes to religion and rejects Christianity and Bible Doctrine and it amounts to Divine Judgment!

The clear pattern is that religion destroys a national entity so that where there is a maximum saturation of religion the nation is destroyed and then there is divine judgment. What led to the destruction of the southern kingdom of Israel in the days after Isaiah lived, in the day of Nebuchadnezzar and later in the day of the Romans? It was religion!

When religion finally dominates a nation, if the nation remains intact, the miseries which are developed as the byproducts of religion are so horrible that it is better to be in slavery than to be in a nation saturated with religion. Foremost this is because of the eternal repercussions of condemnation to the Lake of Fire. When a nation becomes saturated with religion it is very difficult for the people to switch from religious self-righteousness and the use of their own works for earning salvation and spirituality to depending upon the work of the Substitutionary Spiritual Death of God the Son for their sins. A perfect illustration is that while any Roman Catholic can be saved by believing the biblical gospel that salvation is ONLY by faith alone in the Substitutionary Spiritual Death of The Lord Jesus, The Christ, it is undeniably difficult for a devout Catholic to do so, because the system they have for a lifetime trusted has trained them to reject the very principle upon which salvation rests: grace without works, faith without merit, Christ without additions. The more devout the adherence, the more entrenched the works orientation becomes, and the harder it is for that person to abandon reliance on their own efforts and accept the free gift of eternal life exactly as Scripture presents it. That is why in the ministry of Jesus Christ, many prostitutes, tax collectors and people who were low in the society responded to His ministry in droves, and even the eleven saved disciples were low class people. They had rejected that which had rejected them, the hypocrisy of Judaism and they held no illusions about their status quo in life and before God.

Since Satan has become the ruler of this world he has discovered that his genius is only good for deception. Satan uses two basic systems of deception:

• Religion

◦ This is designed to neutralize Bible Doctrine in the Angelic Conflict Appeal Trial.

• Revolution

◦ This is designed to neutralize the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions in the Angelic Conflict Appeal Trial.

The point is that whenever there is a breakdown of law and order there is always religion in the background, either encouraging the mob or leading the mob. The principle is clearly demonstrated that religion often sponsors and fosters mob action. Therefore, any civil Page #238 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

disobedience is antiChristian. Consequently, the greatest destructive action to any system of law is religion. Mob action was incited by religion and religion destroyed Jewish law so that the Roman garrison was required put down the Jewish religious insurrection and deliver Paul.

Religion used the mob to demand the execution of Jesus when he was brought before Pilate 2

times. Religion is always using the rabble, the discontented or malcontented people in an organization to promote their agenda. Today the bleeding heart power hungry liberals are HIRING mobs to oppose the efforts to remove illegal aliens from the United States of America and these people are proud of the fact that they are getting paid to be involved in this degeneracy and opposition. No matter how great a system of law may be, the thing that

always destroys it is religion. When religion infiltrates law then the country is on its way to self destruction. The administration of Jewish law fell into religion when the religious leaders began to administer the law with the rise of the Pharisees. Jewish law and later Anglo-Saxon law assumed that a person was innocent until proven guilty. However, religion assumes that a man is guilty until proven innocent. This is the Internal Revenue Service of the United States of America today. Religion always maligns, judges, and demands adherence to prejudicial standards with no regard for Freedom.

Religion uses riots to disrupt good government and bully it into a course of action which is wrong, dishonest and detrimental to the freedom essential to the Human Race. Therefore religion uses rioting and mobs in order to influence a civil government to remove any overt signs of the Gospel of Christ or Bible Doctrine in any form including the principles of the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions. The principle is, anything that is attempted to be corrected by violence will be destroyed by violence. The emotional and rioting mob acts upon the government until the government is reduced to the same emotional and disorganized level as the mob. However, Behind the scenes, religion hides its hypocritical face while manipulating the mob in order to disrupt the government. It is not the objective of Christianity to disrupt any government. It is the objective of Bible Doctrine to sustain, encourage, and improve by peaceful means local government. When the influence of religion becomes so great that it becomes the state, then murder and violence becomes normal activity.

Religion always claims to place great value on human life until that life opposes it. Religion also destroys the true principle of economy which sustains a nation. Wherever religion dominates it is always in favour of two things:

• Internationalism outside of the nation

• Socialism inside the nation

It is religion which comes along and says government ought to do a hundred things for the citizens today, next year two hundred, and eventually it will demand a thousand. Then the people are totally enslaved to government and religion and have totally lost any incentive to advance themselves and total inability to take responsibility for their failures. It is by this means that Religion totally destroys human freedom.

Religion & Divine Institutions

Every member of the human race has the right to make his own free decisions within the

bounds of the law which must be based on the principles of the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions. There are many national entities today that DENY the existence of the Page #239 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

Divine Institution of Volition; in fact, all Communist nations come under this category.

Communism is a system of religion ruling the State and it denies the basic Divine Institution of Volition and thereby curtails human freedom for the supposed greater benefit of the masses of people. Religion also destroys privacy whereas Christianity is designed to provide greater privacy. In Christianity, in this Church Age, every believer as part of the Royal Family of God, has the privacy provided under the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions along with the privacy of his Royal Priesthood. In contrast, under religion the individual lives in a glass cage, and there is no more vulnerable cage than the one that will be designed by

computerized tyranny which is rapidly approaching in the 21st century. Christianity is designed so that the individual believer can acquire information regarding Absolute Truth and to enable this to occur in the privacy of one’s Royal Priesthood where he can accept or reject that information; to do with it what he personally desires.

Religion & Power

Religion always uses its authority to destroy freedom and suppress the truth. The entire system of religion, then, is designed to exploit the common man and make him the slave to the lusts of those who rule him as well as to make him the slave to power politics. The rules are very simple, submit and sacrifice to power in the name of greater good. The Talmud mandates that it wasn’t even lawful to stop bleeding on the Sabbath! Therefore, Religion is always a source of oppression just as Grace is always a source of freedom and liberation from oppression.

Religion always caters to political power that exists in its vicinity, and it will sell out to any political power that will do its dirty work. When one engages in teaching it is for one of two reasons, to clarify the issues of an organization and explain the policy of an organization, or to deceive people. Jezebel’s organization was religious, therefore it had to have justification, for Sin, Arrogance and Antagonism. These things have to be justified in a religious system, just as islam today does the same thing. The Mohammedans use islam as a religion to justify their violence. The reality is for religion to influence people there must be a doctrine, a system, to justify violence. One of the interesting things about terrorism at the present time is that many of the terrorists are anarchy groups who have no rhyme or reason for what they are doing.

Other terrorist groups have an organized system of doctrine and they are the ones that seem to do the best in using terror to promote communism or whatever their personal interest is. That is exactly the function of a religion. It is to use some form of teaching and doctrine to lead astray.

Religion solves all of its problems by violence and it is completely intolerant of opposition because religion is a system of arrogance. Rulers have political power and the giants of business have financial power, and when they have or develop a tremendous loyalty to religious systems one must note that their loyalty is purchased. The rulers buy power from the religion and therefore have loyalty to it; business men buy prosperity from the religious system and therefore their loyalty is purchased. This is generally the structure of life and this is why loyalty is never really loyalty unless there is Virtue first. Religion controls through its demand for luxury and the more powerful the religion the greater the demand for luxury items. In other words, this Satanic system creates a market for luxury to accompany lust for luxury.

First of all religion creates a lust for luxury because religion always involves entanglement in Page #240 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

arrogance and arrogance amplifies lust, and one of the areas of this lust is lust for luxury.

Religion always starts out humble but invariably gains power, and as it gains power it becomes more arrogant. As a form of Arrogance derived from Evil, it goes into competition with other forms of Evil and eventually they come into conflict. Religious disorientation to reality, then, intensifies the distortion and the disorientation increases with fantasizing. This means that religion eventually becomes a problem for the political power that sponsors it, so that one day its lusts for power and luxury finally bring on its own destruction at the hand of political power.

Religion & Wealth

Religion always depends more than anything else on money and is always trying to find some way to drain the population of their money. All religious systems develop mechanisms which require giving. Wherever religion is well developed there will be one of the wealthiest organizations of that period. Organized religious systems are extremely wealthy though they may have impoverished constituents as a result of the required giving to the religion. Religion emphasises donation. It begs and pleads for money. It implies that the sacrifice of giving brings blessing to the giver from God. The religious leaders in Israel said it isn’t enough to make an oath, but the individual had to put down some money when making an oath. In

other words, he had to put down a bond. Religion attached more importance to gold than they actually did to the temple, so this brings out the principle of double legalism.

• #1 – It is legalistic to take a vow or take an oath by a sacred building

• #2 – Their legalism required one to pay money to take an oath

Religion always places great emphasis on money and always contends that one can buy his way into blessing and even into heaven. However, the biblical emphasis regarding giving should be on the Mental Attitude of the giver and also of those receiving the gift. When any money is brought into the Local Church that money should be dedicated to the Lord’s purpose. Religion does just the opposite. They use the temple, today the Local Church, as a place to siphon anyone’s money for any situation they deem necessary. In Israel, for the religious leaders making an oath or taking a vow on the altar is not as strong as forfeiting money when doing so. In their perspective, the money on the altar was of more value to them than the significance of the altar. Religion cannot see life from the Divine Viewpoint, hence religion has to emphasize what it can see, money, it knows the power of money, it has some concept of the value of money and, therefore, religion can only deal with things that it can see. They see an altar but an altar doesn’t mean anything, to them the altar doesn’t represent the Substitutionary Spiritual Death of Christ. They only see money on the altar and the money means something, has value to them. Today the canon of the Bible is completed but religion looks at the Bible and the Bible doesn’t mean anything to religious people, however, religion looks at the money demanded from the people and that means something. It should be obvious that no one can gain the approbation of God by the use of their money. The character of God includes

Omnipotence and perfection therefore of what value to God is the puny paper money one puts into the offering basket in the Local Church? Therefore, logically, neither salvation nor spiritual blessing can every be purchased. Under the principle of GRACE, God provides Page #241 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

everything based on his perfect character under his perfect DEMONSTRATION plan and the believer recipient gains the benefit which he cannot ever earn nor deserve. Christ with his Substitutionary Spiritual Death paid the penalty for all human sins, so that after Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God, in Phase II of the Plan of God, He provides blessing on the basis of what He gives, on the basis of who and what He is, never on the basis of who or what the individual is. For the Jew to make a vow at the altar and by all that the altar stands for is vastly stronger than making a vow by a stipulated sum of money. This is tantamount to the trial witness taking a vow of truthfulness on the Bible, on that which is far greater than he or his vow, the WORD OF GOD. Therefore, religion is clearly demonstrated to ignore the spiritual and emphasize the material and temporal.

Religion & Rebellion Against God

Religion is rebellion against God and there is no happiness and no blessing to be found in religion. The greatest stifling of the minds of the human race is religion and it is one of man’s greatest expressions of arrogance because it is man’s assumption that he can do something to gain the approbation of God. In some cased it results in man surmising that he doesn’t need the approbation of or any involvement with God at all. When considering the many categories of religion it is always Arrogant blasphemy which ignores the Substitutionary Spiritual Death of Christ for all human sins on the cross and substitutes one’s own efforts from one’s own talents or abilities. Religion, of course, is blindness to truth and it is religion that destroys and stifles freedom; it is religion that puts a ban on human volition. Religion also epitomizes Satan’s policy of Evil and is a KEY part of that policy. Therefore religion and regeneration are opposing forces in the Angelic Conflict Appeal Trial, they are antithetical and mutually exclusive. Therefore, religion is a relationship with Satan through Reversionism and it is entirely possible, therefore, for a born again believer to be ‘religious’ as a Reversionist.

Religion cannot be stopped by being nice to religion; however, neither can one stop religion by violence. There is only one way to stop religion, it is only by the free choice for Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God and consistency in the Perception, Cognition, Inculcation and Metabolization of Bible Doctrine which will break the back of religion, nothing else will do it.

Those who live by Grace will be the recipients of Grace and it is only Grace which will break the back of religion in this way. The disciples of Jesus were religious and that is why it took so much to get them straightened out. God cannot ever use religious people.

The Passover feast and principles were infiltrated and distorted by religion so that the religious Jews converted that which spoke of the Substitutionary Spiritual Death of The Lord Jesus, The Christ, on the cross, into a religious ceremony. These are the mechanics behind religion. It infiltrates the truth; it distorts the truth; it uses ritual in order to obscure the truth. The temple was designed to be the place where Christology was taught. It was the system of presentation of Old Testament Christology. The articles in the temple and in the tabernacle were to be a reminder of the person and the Substitutionary Spiritual Death of the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, the Old Testament Scripture Jewish temple represented the whole realm of Christology, but it was distorted by the religion of Judaism. It became a place for a religious con game where the moneychangers were working there in the name of religion. As a result, Page #242 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

the temple, which had once been the way of presenting the means of Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, had become a place of rejection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Time has not changed anything and today religion is just as much in the business of seeking above all else to gain money, using pressure and gimmicks to get money, as in ancient times. Religion today is just as vicious as it ever was because Satan imitates the truth of Bible Doctrine through religion, he is the author and the promoter of religion and religion is the basis of apostasy.

Religion is often defined in another way, (James 1:26-27) which has the connotation of being afraid of God, and being afraid of God and thus doing something to placate God, doing something to try to make sure that God doesn’t exact severe punishment. This is also religion.

All religions have an element of fear in their principles. When they are afraid of someone they placate this unknown fear and they call it a god. Because they are afraid of the wrath and punishment from a god, they therefore try to impress that god or to keep that god from

punishing them. This is the religious person hustling so hard, trying to produce ‘good deeds’

so that a vengeful god is appeased and does not punish him for their poor behavior.

Therefore, the basic concept of religion is fear, fear in its worst sense which generates and maintains GUILT.

Satan became the ruler of the world. To gain and maintain control of this realm, his counterfeit philosophies of life using religion are his strategies to deceive and confuse believers and unbelievers. Satan’s religions use contrasting systems such as legalism and licentiousness to appeal to every possible orientation of the trends of the Old Sin Nature. All his strategies have similar characteristics:

• Arrogance – preoccupation with self, indifference or apathy toward God, grace and truth.

• Antagonism – preoccupation with others, emotional hatred, or hostility toward God, grace and truth.

Circumcision was being used by the religious Jews as the key ritual for gaining both the approbation of God and entrance into heaven. Wherever ritualism is converted into religiousness, it is always something that is dishonoring to God. Ritualism, which comes from the trend toward asceticism from the Old Sin Nature, has an ascetic appeal for a very large number of people. It makes them FEEL like they DESERVE being closer to God. People are always trying to DO something to take the place of the Perception, Cognition, Inculcation and Metabolization of Bible Doctrine. Even Christians today, using their legalism, have tried to make something special out of ritual, when the only thing that is special about ritual is the assimilation of doctrine which makes it understandable. It is Metabolized Bible Doctrine in the Right Lobe of the Soul that gives capacity for freedom, for life, for. love and for happiness.

This knowledge fulfills the purpose of the believer in this intensified stage of the Angelic Conflict Appeal Trial. Then Life becomes real when Bible Doctrine makes God real and fulfills the principle of Occupation with the Person of The Lord Jesus, The Christ, advanced Personal Love for God. Circumcision and its distorted use in religion clearly illustrates the saturation of Evil in religion in the field of ritual.

Religion & Humility

Most people erroneously assume that what impresses them also impresses God, and the idea of being humble tops the list! However, the true concept of humility has generally been distorted into self effacement, that is, catering to the asceticism of the old sin nature by a system of self depreciation. Nothing causes one to feel superior as much as to putting oneself down! To construe humility as some external self deprecating activity is a counterfeit from religion.

Humility is in the soul, it begins with orientation to authority and obeying the mandates of authority under enforced discipline, it advances with setting up one’s own mandates under self discipline by becoming self motivated. Those who take pleasure in self effacement have succumbed to the Evil of satanic religious apostasy and thereby disqualify themselves from the reward of blessing from God.

Religion & Degeneracy

Religion functions continually under operation of the Old Sin Nature for production of sin, crime and Human Good. The basis for all satanic religions has always been human sacrifice and the basis for human sacrifice is always a satanic lie. Both human sacrifice and homicide demonstrate that criminal activity is always related to religion along with acts of fanatical violence. Demon influence and demon possession is the cause of all violence in the human race. One must be functioning within the Cosmic Dynasphere systems to be involved in ILLEGITIMATE violence. This results from the function of the Old Sin Nature as the source of temptation, but these reprehensible things cannot occur apart from human volition and human consent.

Religion is one of the worst things that has ever happened to man because religion contains both of the concepts involved in degeneracy. Religion is the invention of Satan; it is his attempt to counterfeit Christianity so that it falls into two categories as far as its modus operandi is concerned:

• It often has a strong morality linked with Arrogance to form legalistic self-righteousness.

◦ Religious groups often engage in killing people, having no regard for life or property because of their arrogant self-righteousness.

• It can have a strong immorality linked also with Arrogance to form lasciviousness

◦ This is Phallic Idolatry in which there is phallic degeneracy and this is usually related to demonism.

◦ This encompasses all of the sexual distortions even human sacrifice.

These are obviously antithetical but both are involved in religion attempting to engage both antithetical trends of the Old Sin Nature, which is actually part of the underlying base for the principle of degeneracy.

Religion therefore has two antithetical ways of converting people. One is through lascivious lawlessness and the other is through legalistic self-righteousness. Therefore, it can appeal to everyone; some want to fornicate; some want to be self-righteous and universal religion results in a saturated period of total degeneracy. There is a great deal of difference between admiration of people which is normal, and worship of people which is abnormal, and the point is that religion makes people abnormal and motivates them to worship people. Religious Page #244 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

individuals are not normal people and under religion in Cosmic Dynasphere I, he is preoccupied with self, and distorts the truth of accurate Bible Doctrine. Religion is concentrated Arrogance which can be in moral form or immoral form but whatever the form may be the greatest

judgments by God are always directed against Arrogance especially when this devolves into overt Antagonism. The worst possible sin is the one involving THINKING, this is the sin that brings down the greatest Divine Discipline from God, and it results from the individual making bad decisions for entanglement in Arrogance and Antagonism. All religion is related to preoccupation with self and all arrogance is preoccupation with self which invariably degenerates into preoccupation with others and overt antagonism when this is confronted with truth. Therefore, the end of all religion is eternal suffering for those who choose it by rejection of The Lord Jesus, The Christ. Rejection of Christ as personal saviour is where the cursing begins. (John 3:18) The ‘wrath’ of God expresses the function of divine Justice with regard to the saturation of Evil in the Human Race in the form of degeneracy, religion, the morality of arrogance all which endangers the very existence of the human race and the right of self-determination. Therefore this saturation of Evil results in divine judgment for the purpose of perpetuating the human race.

It is extremely important to understand that religion is the greatest source of unhappiness that one will ever have to face. Because it is a Satanic system, the only person who ever has any fun with religion is Satan himself. This results because in all religious organizations one surrenders the custodianship of his happiness and the control of his life to human beings in some form of a hierarchy. Those human beings will exact from him challenges of one type or another, whether they relate to asceticism which is in many of the world’s religions some aspect or level of “self-sacrifice” where the hue and cry of religion involves the sacrifice game.

The involvement in asceticism is total unhappiness, total lack of capacity for life, and total disorientation to life. However, very often the trap does not involve self-righteousness, asceticism, self-sacrifice or pseudo-morality, Satan also uses Lascivious Lawlessness in Antinomianism to trap many people in religion.

Religion & Persecution

Religion destroys virtue, and the natural instinct of Grace and tolerance. Religion produces arrogance, ignorance, cruelty and persecution, which overrides tolerance and substitutes cruelty.

Because a religious society cannot think or reason, it becomes emotional with blind arrogance.

This emotion produces mob violence, the persecution of passive arrogance, and cruelty resulting in some type of holocaust disaster. Religion stifles freedom, and does not allow others to make mistakes, but persecutes them vigorously. This is islam.

Religion is the devil’s weapon for neutralizing doctrine and religion will viciously persecute the Grace Oriented believer priest in the Church Age. Jesus anticipated the hostility of religion toward Grace and he constantly opposed it. Religious persecution of Grace Oriented Christianity is ruthless and senseless and inexcusable, it is in fact diabolical and it will continue throughout the Church Age. Religion is like a weed; it grows strong and thick when it has something to feed on. In any nation or region where there is maximum negative volition toward the gospel and Bible Doctrine religion infiltrates that area. Then those who are Page #245 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

religious, being sincere, always think they are doing God a great favour by wiping out the Grace Oriented Christians. Religion always seeks to destroy the Truth from God, but religion has restraints until religion becomes the state and religion only gains control of a state when there is collective negative volition toward the Gospel of Christ and principles of Bible Doctrine.

It is impossible for religion or religious people to be fair and objective in their evaluation of anyone or anything. Therefore, Religion always persecutes the truth. This results from spiritual blindness caused by consistent negative volition toward truth. When the information vacuum of the soul is blocked to the intake of truth by Scar Tissue of the Soul and Locked in Negative Volition in Reversionism, it remains open to religion and this blinds the soul to Truth.

Religion always bullies, religion bullied Pilate but it could not bully Jesus Christ, He did not answer them, He stood in the Praetorium with all of the great dignity that comes from the divine viewpoint in the Right Lobe of his Human Soul and the religious people could not shake Him. He did not speak to them, He would have nothing to do with them, despite them

standing near Him and accusing Him. Jesus in his silence was therefore separated from religion. However, He still is courteous and He answers the one in authority, Pilate. Religious people invariably are bullies because of legalism. Religion very often uses the mob, and gathers the mob, and it is the mob which does the bullying and during the trials of Jesus it was the MOB who cried, “Barabbas”. This is often the final step in destroying legitimate law.

All forms of religion unite against Jesus Christ. In the trials of Jesus, the chief priests were Sadducees, and the Sadducees and the Pharisees were mutually antagonistic, they despised each other. They had been fighting each other for over a hundred years and getting the chief priests and the Pharisees working together was a miracle. After the Resurrection of The Lord Jesus, the chief priests and the Pharisees united in order to completely suppress anything pertaining to Christ. The very fact that they tried this is in itself an irrefutable proof of His bodily resurrection. Every attempt was made by these religious rulers of Israel to suppress information about The Lord Jesus, The Christ and his resurrection and if there had been no bonifide historical resurrection then the chief priests and the Pharisees would have been successful in their suppression of any resurrection message. The fact that resurrection of The Lord Jesus, The Christ is a central doctrine in the realm of Christology and in the whole realm of Christian doctrine indicates the principle that their obvious attempts to suppress the truth, being unsuccessful, PROVE beyond any doubt that the resurrection of The Lord Jesus, The

Christ did in fact occur.

The source of the persecution of Christians and Christianity in general is always twofold. It is primarily religion but when religion becomes the government of the nation then there develops organized Evil, the worst kind of persecution. Therefore, 1 form form of darkness in a society is religion and with religion there is always disorganized Evil which can be tolerated by Christianity and does not effect freedom which can still engage in Evangelism. However, religion often becomes Organized Evil when it supplants the government. In the martyrdom of mature believers the principle is illustrated that while doctrinal believers can coexist with Degeneracy or Disorganized Evil they cannot exist in a society of Organized and Systematic Evil. Organized or Systematic Evil always persecutes every category of Absolute Truth, and Page #246 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

what really initiates this is religion. This is the radical islamic people today who have declared war on most of the non-islamic world. Therefore, when religion is added or formed into a dictatorial system there develops the worst form of Organized or Systematic Evil. A client nation which has too much degeneracy, too much disorganized evil, and is therefore not controlled by the Laws of Divine Establishment and Divine Institutions, results in some dictator rising up to suppress the Disorganized Evil of Degeneracy. In so doing he substitutes a Systematic form of Evil in which the government often has one special characteristic, the union of religion and government. From this point the government commits all of the crime and eliminates the general function of crime where crime is independent of the governmental system. The power of Degeneracy or Disorganized Evil is crime and violence while the power of Systematic Organized Evil is government using its authority and using religion as justification for destroying freedom, confiscating property, and murdering behind the facade of the greater good for the greater number. Systematic Organized Evil is characterized by self righteous arrogance, whereas, disorganized Evil is characterized by criminal arrogance. The tyrannical dictator eliminates private crime and substitutes public crime on a huge scale as his involvement in the Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred blossoms and flourishes.

The enlarged pivot of mature believers and the effective function of law and order, free enterprise, and military establishment hinders this function of Organized Evil. It hinders the effectiveness of Organized Systematic Evil and prevents the rise of dictators. Degeneracy as Disorganized Evil can coexist with doctrinal teaching and with Absolute Truth. The Royal Family of God under Disorganized Evil is still able to evangelize Degeneracy and Degeneracy in its turn seeks to evangelize the Royal Family of God. The pattern of Systematic Organized Evil replacing Disorganized Evil is quite frequently observable in history:

• The French revolution

• the Russian revolution of 1917

• The communist takeover of China

• The rise of Adolf Hitler

This proves the principle that self righteous arrogance always has greater power than criminal arrogance. Self righteous arrogance is morality without virtue, and therefore the importance of the priorities in the plan of God, Virtue first,, because Christianity under the development of Virtue produces a morality totally divorced from any form of legalism or self-righteousness.

Morality minus virtue becomes self righteous arrogance and leads to the Antagonistic Hatred of Organized Evil, the Systematic Evil by which dictators rise to power.

It is fascinating to study the end of medieval times and historically how they blend in with the Renaissance and the Reformation. Probably 2 of the most interesting of all of the centuries of human history occurred in the 15th and 16th centuries, and even part of the 17th century.

Those three centuries are historically transitional, not only for western Europe but for the entire world, and in that time there were some of the major holocausts against Israel. That period of time was a period of toleration and persecution amalgamating to form a great deal of confusion to historians. It was a time where the great principle of religion destroying virtue and the natural instincts toward Grace is demonstrated. Religion was the rise and flourishing of the Page #247 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

Roman Catholic religion on the one hand and islam on the other, and it is fascinating to see that suddenly islam would tolerate the Jews because the Roman Catholics were persecuting them. Then, when islam began to persecute the Jews the Roman Catholics would tolerate

them. This went back and forth during the middle ages repeatedly. When islam started to grow in the seventh and eighth centuries it began to attack the Jews, so the Jews went to Spain. They settled in Spain for a couple of hundred years, forming the middle class where all of the great doctors and the bankers were Jews in western Europe. This was the whole system that made Spain great just before the Renaissance began and into the Renaissance up to the time of Charles the 5th and Philip the 2nd there was this tremendous middle class made up of Jews and Moors. Charles the 5th and then Philip the 2nd immediately attacked the Moors and the Jews. The toleration ended, but by this time Suleiman (Solomon) the Magnificent, the great Ottoman Turk ruler of the 16th century, became very tolerant and so the Jews moved back into Tunisia, North Africa, Turkey, all of the places where they were welcome. This resulted in the Jews during the medieval times being battered around like a tennis ball, back and forth across the net. Sometimes they were safe under the religion of islam and sometimes they were safe under the religion of the Roman Catholics, but they were never safe at the same time in either place and they could never really settle down and they suffered terribly throughout the middle ages.

Therefore, Religion produces arrogance and ignorance which overrides tolerance, high IQ, and substitutes cruelty and arrogance so that cruelty always lowers the IQ of the people involved to zero. A religious society cannot think and therefore emotes in the presence of mobs to cause persecution, cruelty and destruction of life. Religion rejects the function of free will and the option of self-determination for others. This is true of islam, the Roman Catholic church, the Greek Orthodox church, Hindus, and many other religions during their histories. Medieval history right up through the time of the Renaissance and Reformation not only caused the rise of cities but the inevitable rise of city mobs to function under terrorism and persecution. This resulted in Antisemitism because ALL aspects of arrogance become a substitute for reason and produce victims, a target for hatred, vindictiveness, implacability, etc. Since 70 AD that target has all too often been the Jew as a result of religious persecution.

Religion & Inconsistency / Instability

Religion is always inconsistent because religion does not have Bible doctrine to keep it straight, and not adhering to Bible doctrine religion always gets into irrationality and inconsistency. A prime example is demonstrated by the World and National Council of Churches which have

given money to various terrorist groups. When they think some group is downtrodden by their society they arm them and they actually sponsor terrorism in many parts of the world through their financial support. They are inconsistent with their policies being against violence but they support terrorism when it suits their liberal idealism. This often occurs when Christianity becomes focused on politics. Christians are not kept alive in the devil’s world to be political, they are supposed by God under Logistical Grace be totally and completely separated from politics. It is not a part of Christian responsibility to get involved in politics, or in social action, to become involved in the various political activities which eventually lead to civil disobedience. When Christianity becomes involved in politics and tries to tell the state how to Page #248 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

run its business, inevitably this leads to civil disobedience. This is the reason so many Christians become revolutionary.

Religion & Environment

Religion is incompatible with perfect environment and perfect environment and religion cannot coexist. Whenever religion dominates a nation, region or people, it destroys pleasant environment; if the environment dominates it invariably destroys religion. Pleasant environment comes from one source, Grace. Grace orientation ONLY comes from Perception, Cognition, Inculcation and Metabolization of Bible doctrine, and the extent to which one has a pleasant environment does not depend upon socializing, it does not depend upon people. Religion is always using some gimmick system to create its desired environment which is attractive people, stimulating things, entertainment, etc., but pleasant environment only comes from the Grace of God. The most perfect environment to exist in Human History occurred in 2 periods of Human History, The Garden of Eden prior to religion existing as part of the Power System of Satan, Evil and it will again exist in the Millennial Reign of The Lord Jesus, The Christ where all religion will be abolished for man, so that BOTH periods are systems of total GRACE operation.

Gate VIII – The Antagonism of Demonism

For a more complete understanding see, “Satan and Demonism” R. B. Thieme Jr., Bible Ministries.

One MUST remember that fallen angels or demons are the most frustrated creatures in the

universe. There was a time in Genesis 6 when they could have a little fun with the daughters of men, but God terminated that escapade with the flood. The thing is demons can still now occupy the body of an unbeliever, male or female in demon possession. But there is still phenomenal frustration for them because of what limited things demons can do to believers!

The body of the Church Age believer as part of the Royal Family of God is the temple of God the Holy Spirit who sets up this temple for the indwelling of The Lord Jesus, The Christ.

Therefore, the only thing demons can do to one who has made Salvation Adjustment to the

Justice of God is influence them. But demon influence often takes on all the characteristics of demon possession. In fact demon influence can in reality be considered a greater power than demon possession, it is the greatest power of Satanic influence on the believer, the witness for the prosecution in the Angelic Conflict Appeal Trial.

Satan and his fallen angels have already been condemned and sentenced, however, God graciously postponed the judgment in response to an appeal lodged by Satan at the conclusion of his trial. Understand clearly, GOD knew from his omniscience in Eternity Past that Satan would fall and revolt and

⅓ of the angels would follow him and that when he was condemned

to the Lake of Fire God knew he would appeal. This was NOT NEW TO GOD. Satan’s

argument impugned the character of God: How could a loving God cast His creatures into

eternal fire? To resolve Satan’s appeal and provide clarity for all angelic creation, God created the human race and set up Time and Human History as a DEMONSTRATION of the Page #249 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

coordinated, consistent, unchangeable function of his character in both blessing and cursing his creation. Like the angels, mankind has been endowed with volition, the freedom to choose for or against God. ALL angelic creation is observing this new volition and its functions and how God handles both obedience and rejection of his plan. However, Satan has organized an almost fool proof system to get believers out of God’s provided power system, the Divine Dynasphere and into Satan’s developed power system the Cosmic Dynaspheres. Fallen Angels, demons, unlike elect angels, do not just sit in the stands and watch mankind in its functions; demons are on the playing field of Human History so that while observing they are also interacting.

The fact is that elect angels in this dispensation of the Royal Family of God the Church Age do not sit in the stands and just watch Human History unfold but are commissioned as SERVANTS, GUARDIANS for the Royal Family of God on this earth. Confirmation of this Angelic Conflict Appeal Trial is revealed in Lucifer’s new title, Satan, derived from the (heb) Satan, meaning

“adversary, accuser” (Zech 3:1-2). Satan was a Revolutionary, the adversary of God at his prehistoric trial and continues to act as “the accuser” of advancing believers throughout all of Human History. (Rev 12:10) He remains the irreconcilable enemy of God.

Satan has chosen to try to manipulate the volition of this new creature, mankind, however, it is actually through both the positive and negative decisions of the human race that God will vindicate His character and his judgment of Satan and refute Satan’s accusations against His character. However, Satan is not content to be merely a spectator to the unfolding events of this DEMONSTRATION, which is human history, but he rallies his demons to oppose and distort the DEMONSTRATION to his own ends. He has gone on the offensive to influence and to win the allegiance of mankind, although through even one adherent to the Plan of God, God has DEMONSTRATED clearly the consistency of his character.

Therefore, the Plan and Policy of Satan being ‘EVIL’, mean that demons serve the cause of that Evil. They are avowed enemies of God and in open rebellion against The Lord Jesus, The Christ. Remember, ALL fallen angels have already been judged by God and found guilty and are already condemned to the Lake of Fire for eternity. Since Satan lacks the attributes of deity, including omnipresence and omnipotence, in his plans for disruption of God’s DEMONSTRATION he compensates for his inadequacies by relying on his demons for reconnaissance and the execution of his nefarious schemes. Alone, Satan could accomplish little, for his field of operation in Human History ranges far beyond his ability to control it.

His domain encompasses the entire earth and its atmosphere. In addition hindering Satan’s operations are the divine restraints that prevent him from operating at full capacity in order that the DEMONSTRATION of God might continue to its inevitable conclusion.

Satan commands vast armies, hordes, of fallen angels or demons, they are derived from

⅓ of

the angelic population who CHOSE to follow him in his revolution against God. Satan is called the prince or ruler of demons (Matt 9:34, Matt 12:24, Mark 3:22) and demons are called the ministers of Satan. (Luke 4:35, Luke 9:1, John 10:21) These are the fallen angelic creatures who execute his strategy for controlling mankind during the Angelic Conflict Appeal Trial.

Certain echelons of demons operate covertly behind the scenes; others create a diversity of overt effects. Demons can indwell the bodies of unbelievers, in demon possession, or influence Page #250 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

their souls with the “doctrines of demons”. (2Tim 4:1) However, demons cannot possess the bodies of believers, who are protected by the indwelling of God the Holy Spirit one of the 40

assets given to every Church Age believer at the very moment of his choosing Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God. (1Cor 6:19-20). Unfortunately however, the subjectivity, confusion, false principles and distorted ideas from demon influence can very effectively neutralize the believer. The point is that the BATTLE in which the believer is engaged in is in the THINKING of the soul NOT the overt experiences he may have. Thus the Cosmic Dynaspheres generate demon influence toward one’s motivation, thought patterns, decision making, and ultimately, one’s actions.

Therefore, any time the believer is out of fellowship, out from under the Filling of God the Holy Spirit and thus out of the Divine Dynasphere, he is under demon influence from the

satanic administrative system of this world under his rule. (1Tim 4:1) This is the result of every human being being born into and living in a world ruled by Satan since the Fall of Adam using the Cosmic Dynasphere Systems to control it. Consequently, there is the potential for telepathy and environmental influences from demons to insinuate FALSE doctrines into the thinking of the individual. For either demon influence or demon possession to occur, the person must choose to be within the sphere of the Cosmic Dynasphere systems. However,

neither demon possession nor influence can occur apart from human consent, which requires volitional decisions made from a position of weakness, that is living outside of the Divine Dynasphere. Of the 5 demon attacks on the human race, the most devastating and the most successful is Satan’s invention of demonic telepathy whereby the doctrine of demons is transferred directly into the thinking of the accepting human soul. In order to recruit or ensnare man in his system of Evil Satan uses false counterfeit doctrinal information and principles which are contradictory and antithetical to the Absolute Truths in the Laws of Divine Establishment, Divine Institutions, and all of Bible Doctrine. (1Cor 2:16) This is often labeled the Doctrines of Demons. This is the basis for the function of these fallen angels under Satan’s command in their attempt to avoid the judgment of the Lake of Fire for their part in the revolution against God. This false doctrine is encompassed in the 2 Cosmic Dynaspheres the

Interlocking System of Arrogance and the Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred where entanglement in these systems is facilitated by the destructive nature of one moving down through the 8 stages of Reversionism. However, it also involves the undesirable activities involved in Sin or Crime of any category with the resultant destruction of the Spiritual Life of any believer.

This FALSE DOCTRINE is an entire system of teaching which is transferred to anyone who

resides in the Cosmic Dynasphere systems for any extended period of time. This is why the majority of the masses of Christians, as well as most all unbelievers, are today under demon influence. However, under certain circumstances demon influence can be just as destructive, violent, antagonistic, hateful, and disruptive in the life of the one involved because it involves just as great a saturation of Evil as demon possession. Usually the difference between demon influence and demon possession is like the systematic, rational approach to killing and destroying in terrorism and guerrilla warfare under demon influence, whereas under demon possession actions become much more violent, more irrational in their modus operandi as in Page #251 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

operations directed at genocide of innocent populations and this is clearly demonstrated by the ongoing functions of people in the current dispensation of the Church Age.

This Demonism gate of the Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred involves extreme influence by the LIE of Cosmic Dynasphere thinking expounded from EVIL as the

Doctrine of Demons. This occurs readily when the believer in his fall down through Reversionism and the Interlocking System of Arrogance has moved into Black Out of the Soul from intensified Locked In Negative Volition in Reversionism. Under these conditions the ONLY

information his soul can absorb is the LIE, the FALSE concepts from EVIL within the Cosmic Dynaspheres. This thinking becomes so entrenched in his soul that any contrary thinking causes him to become instantly antagonistic to the Plan of God, the Grace of God and anyone focused on these things and moves him rapidly and readily into the Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred. Therefore, Demon Influence is demon thought invasion using principles from Evil into the thinking or thought patterns of the soul of the believer.

Demonism as Satanic Attacks

Satan is far from the proverbial hideous monster enticing people to perform grotesque and shocking acts which represent the obvious overt forms of demonism. Satan disguises his most devastating demonic attacks as benign or even beneficial to the individual or mankind collectively. In fact, this is the major thrust and desired end point of EVIL, man working under his own power apart from God for his own benefit. The demon attack is always against one’s thinking even though demons can indwell the bodies of certain unbelievers. Entrance into and function within the Cosmic Dynaspheres for extended periods opens the door to telepathy or thought transference related to demon influence but only when one consistently remains inside the Cosmic Dynasphere systems. The ‘New Age’ movement is just another wave of demonism. New Age ideas are ‘new’ only in that they are a contemporary conglomeration of anti-biblical practices and beliefs derived from ancient occult and pagan religions, astrology, humanistic psychology, and eastern religions. Old demonic practices are introduced in enticing new packages, in the name of self-awareness, self-fulfillment, and self-love, so that occult techniques are taught to an unsuspecting public. Western mindsets are captivated by trans-channeling, eastern mystical meditation, and divination which are craftily presented using scientific and psychological terminology. These techniques have even infiltrated certain business and employee training seminars. These ‘New Age’ concepts are derived from mystical experiences which offer hope of a “greater” reality or direct union with a ‘higher’ being.

However, mystic contact with higher beings is in fact contact with fallen angels, demons in the service to Lucifer.

It is one of the specific functions of fallen angels under the command of Satan to gain, as much as possible, control of all of mankind. Satan’s attack on the believer and unbeliever can initially be through demon influence only but when the unbeliever resides and functions in Cosmic Dynasphere II, the Interlocking System of Antagonistic Emotional Hatred long enough, this WILL put him directly under the strong potential for demon possession. Demon Influence is extremely destructive to any individual involved because through it Satan gains control of the thinking of both believer and unbeliever. This is the result of believing the Lie from Evil and Page #252 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

thus being propagandized into functions within the Cosmic Dynaspheres. However, due to the fact that the believer cannot be demon possessed or molested by demons as a result of the Indwelling of God the Holy Spirit, this is a very limited process for Christians, though it can be a spectacular detriment to the believer because of the attractiveness of the Cosmic Dynasphere functions. In the ancient past, part of the Old Testament law was that whenever a person was determined to be demon possessed they were to suffer capital punishment as was also the case for murder or rape, and other such crimes. Demons can, therefore, reach the mentality of the soul of both believer and unbeliever, with the LIES of the Cosmic Dynaspheres.

There are 5 demon attacks on the human race.

• #1 – The genetic attack in the antediluvian civilization. (Gen 6:1-6)

▪ This was accomplished by demons with physical bodies fornicating with human

females to produce the “Nephalim”.

• #2 – The attack of demon possession

▪ An attack of disembodied spirits directed toward unbelievers who in all cases chose

to invite this on themselves.

• #3 – The attack of demon influence

▪ Also the attack of disembodied spirits on the thinking of those in the Human Race

who must now live under the Power System of Satan the Cosmic Dynaspheres.

• #4 – The physical attack of demon armies at the end of the Tribulation

▪ These will be used by Satan to destroy his useless followers. (Rev 9, Rev 12:7-17)

• #5 – The activity of demons during the Gog revolution. (Rev 20:7-10)

Because of Satan’s power, he is often the source of disease, death, and pseudo miracle cures.

(Ps 109:6-13) As a result of demon possession many abnormal often unexplainable activities occur in history. Satan uses demons to do accomplish many of the following things:

• Satan is often permitted to execute believers under the sin unto death. (1Cor 5:5, 1Tim

1:19-20)

• Satan is the source of many diseases, often unexplainable in origin. (Job 2:6-8, Matt

12:22, Luke 13:16, Acts 10:38)

• Satan is often the source of certain mental diseases or disorders. (Mark 5:1-12)

• Satan can be the source of dumbness (not stupidity) but the inability to speak, which can be related to demon possession. (Mark 9:17, Luke 11:14)

• Satan is often the source of deafness. (Mark 9:25)

• Satan can also be the source of blindness. Matt 12:22)

• Satan can be the cause of convulsions which is often termed epilepsy. (Mark 1:26, Mark

9:20, Luke 4:35)

Therefore, Satan uses demon possessed or totally demon influenced individuals as “healers” and he orders the demons which possessed the individuals causing these maladies to leave them and thus claim for the “healers” themselves miraculous healing. Satan is also a source of abnormal behavior through demon possession such as:

• Abnormal violence (Matt 8:28)

• Abnormal strength (Mark 5:4, Luke 8:29)

Page #253 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

• Ravings, uncontrollable tantrums and screaming (Mark 5:5)

• Self-mutilation (Mark 5:5)

• Foaming at the mouth (Mark 9:20, Luke 9:29)

• Public Nakedness (Luke 8:27)

• Living in cemeteries among dead bodies (Mark 5:3)

• Constant grinding of the teeth (Mark 9:18)

• Attempted Self Destruction, exposing self to known dangers (Matt 17:15) The satanic attack directed toward the unbeliever is designed to line him up and engulf him within Satan’s policy in the Power System of Satan. The attack directed toward the believer is designed to discredit him, distract him from execution of the Protocol Plan of God and to utilize him in some way against The Lord Jesus, The Christ and the Plan of God.

God has incarcerated a vast company of Satan’s demons in Tartarus to await their final punishment. (Jude 6, 1Pet 3:19-20) This segment of fallen angels, called (heb) Beni ha Elohim, translated “sons of God,” which always refers to angelic beings in the Old Testament Scripture.

(Gen 6:4, Job 1:6, Job 2:1, Job 38:7) These are the demons which deliberately procreated with

“the daughters of men” in order to corrupt the genetic line between Adam and Eve and The Lord Jesus, The Christ and prevent Jesus being born true humanity. These demons in Genesis 6 were visible, very handsome, and they were involved in a sexual infiltration of the Human Race which led to the whole system of mythology as it exists even to today. (Gen 6:2) The sexual union of angelic creatures with human females produced half-human, half-angelic offspring, the ‘Nephalim’, in an attempt to contaminate the purity of the human race. Their insidious goal was to corrupt human genetics and thereby foil the virgin birth of The Lord Jesus, The Christ who had to be true and pure humanity. This genetic attack on the human race necessitated the worldwide judgment of the Noaic flood (Gen 6:12-13) to annihilate the mixed-breed offspring and cleanse the total degeneracy of the Human Race from the earth.

The demons involved were incarcerated in darkness, chained with eternal bonds to prevent further attempts to destroy the lineage of The Lord Jesus, The Christ. (2Pet 2:4) Therefore, much of Ancient Mythology is NOT imaginary or ‘mythological’ but is actually based on Truth and historical fact.

In the middle of the Tribulation 3 great demon armies are going to invade the earth when Satan is cast down from heaven, never again to be in heaven. At the point of Satan being cast out of heaven, he is going to be permitted to release his 3 hard-core demon armies. They are going to directly attack human beings physically, those followers of Satan whom he has no further use for, to destroy them. It should be noted that the antediluvian angelic attack and the Tribulational angelic attacks involve invasions by visible demons. However, during the post-diluvian civilization, all demon attacks are invisible, except in the Tribulation.

Demonism Organization & Warfare

Satan commands vast armies of fallen angels or demons who execute his strategy for controlling mankind. However, there are two cases of Satan possession recorded in the Word of God but Satan possession cannot occur n the dispensation of the Royal Family of God, the Church Age, Page #254 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

because of the restraining ministry of God the Holy Spirit during this stage of the intensified angelic conflict. (2Thes 2:6-7)

• Judas Iscariot surrendered not only his soul but his body also to Satan.

• The dictator of the revived Roman Empire in the Tribulation. (2Thes 2:8-11)

The irrefutable fact of war is to kill or be killed, to be the victor or the vanquished! The Christian Warrior is engaged in combat with a great unseen demon army. The unseen angelic troops are the best organized and trained of all armies. Superior in wisdom and prowess to all humanity, they can be overcome only by supernatural weapons (2Cor 10:4); that is why believers must accept the Grace means God has provided to enable us to HOLD THE GROUND

and eliminate these unseen antagonists! (Eph 6:12) The Christian Warrior fights at close range with an enemy he cannot even see in spiritual, not temporal, warfare! This army of fallen angels is a desperate army, fighting for life and losing every step of the way. Nevertheless, believers must never underestimate this well-organized, well-disciplined opponent. In order that Christians might know the enemy and his capabilities, the divinely inspired intelligence report discloses a brilliant military institution composed of Evil spirit beings. Although Satan had instigated revolution against God in heaven, he recognizes the importance of discipline.

Patterned after the divine order, Satan divided his demon followers into officer personnel and the rank and file demons.

Top-echelon commanders are the elite of the fallen angels, the equivalent of the archangels among the elect angels and are called (gr) arche meaning: highest ruler. Against these top ranking demon generals and their subordinate officers, VIP Christian Warriors, men like Peter, John or Paul, must take their stand in this Angelic Conflict Appeal Trial period. (2Cor 12:7,

Luke 22:31)

• The Officer Corps of the satanic army consists of an unknown number of corps commanders, divisional commanders, brigade commanders, combat team commanders,

battalion commanders, company commanders and platoon commanders. These are often

called “powers” but the (gr) exzousia connotes ruling authority and includes this unnumbered multitude of demons whom Satan has vested with official power as officers

under the higher command of their generals.

• World Ruler Corps are a special corps of Satan, demons who might be classified as

Satan’s own emissaries to the courts and ruling capitals of the world. This is (gr)

kosmokrator, a contraction of the words (gr) kosmos = world and (gr) krator = ruler. As a result of consistent Negative Volition toward all Bible Doctrine principles these emissaries of the devil find it an easy task to carry out the nefarious directives and

policies of their master as they attempt to influence the rulers and decision makers of the world. This special corps of demonic prince-ambassadors still functions in contemporary history. This includes a demon intelligence system whereby Satan keeps track of all

believers and builds up a file on them to accuse them in the Supreme Court of Heaven if

and when it becomes necessary.

• “Spirit forces of Evil” are the final category of Satan’s table of organization from the (gr) pneumatikos = spirits, referring to fallen angels or demons. These are the rank and file of Satan’s fallen angels, the antagonists whom the advancing believer is most likely to engage in combat.

Respect for authority and discipline are vital to the efficient function of any group! Although he constantly undermines the principle of the divinely established authorities in the human realm, Satan enforces authority in his own organization with an iron hand. Satan’s organization is effective mainly because of the stern discipline and authority he enforces. (Eph 6:12)

Demon Influence & Reversionism

Demon influence is the demon invasion of the soul with Satanic thought. Satanic thought most often is not expressed in terms of sin or crime but in terms of improving this world, Human Good, doing nice things for your fellow man, and supporting a variety of crusades. It is false thinking based on the policy and principles of EVIL by which Satan administers this world.

Consequently, when a person rejects absolute truth from the Laws of Divine Establishment, the Divine Institutions or any part of the whole realm of Bible Doctrine, he enters into the process of Reversionism where, without recovery, he develops Black Out of the Soul which damages soul functions and begins to cause the development of Scar Tissue of the Soul. This Black Out of the Soul causes all Absolute Truth accumulated in the soul to be systematically erased and replaced with the Lie from Evil. Then, as a result of the Scarring and Damage to the soul functions, the vacuum in the soul is only able to draw in the LIE of Evil to replace Truth.

(1Tim 4:1) With the expansion of Scar Tissue of the Soul this individual first becomes incapable of believing truth and only can believe the LIE which is the derived from the principles of EVIL in the Cosmic Dynasphere systems and eventually cannot even comprehend academically Truth being Absolute. Believers believe the Lie and liars because of their facade of sweet and pleasing words, and the warmth of their personality. When in the Interlocking System of Arrogance and under psychological living the believer is so preoccupied with self that he assumes that any speaker who pleases, stimulates, and warms his thinking must be telling the truth. However, a seared, burned-out, conscience is the result of persistent demon influence and this destroys any Divine Viewpoint Norms and Standards, Scale of Values and Frame of Reference which has been derived from Truth. Therefore, when a believer or an unbeliever remains in the Cosmic Dynasphere systems long enough and has fallen down into the lower stages of Reversionism, all his standards and values related to Absolute Truth in any category are gone, seared, and burnt out of his soul and what remains are false Standards and Values and a distorted Frame of Reference, derived from the FALSE principles of Evil in the Cosmic Dynaspheres.

Only the believer who has received at Salvation Adjustment to the Justice of God the Indwelling of God the Holy Spirit and The Lord Jesus, The Christ and at the same time is under the Filling of God the Holy Spirit and residing and functioning in the Divine Dynasphere is protected from this insidious demon influence based totally on Evil. When the believer leaves the Divine Dynasphere as a result of engaging in Carnality he is still Indwelt by God the Holy Spirit but has lost the controlling influence of the Filling of God the Holy Spirit and his residence in the Divine Dynasphere. (Eph 6:10-12) This places him into the early stages of Reversionism and Cosmic Dynasphere I where he is said to be Grieving God the Holy Spirit.

This can progress into total involvement within the Arrogance Skills with total preoccupation Page #256 of 360 - Return to the Table of Contents

with self and thus move him into Cosmic Dynasphere II where he is said to be Squelching or Quenching God the Holy Spirit. At this point he has become involved in total preoccupation with others in antagonism toward God, Grace and other Christians. This one has become the enemy of God and the Hater of God AS A BELIEVER. (Phil 3:18) This individual then comes under intensive demon influence and even opens up his soul under the concepts of Dormant Faculty Arrogance. In essence he voluntarily accepts demon influence and for the unbeliever this means he opens himself up to the physical demon possession of his body.

Therefore, as a result of rejection of any of the 3 categories of Absolute Truth, demons can influence the thinking in the soul of Believers with the false doctrines and principles from the policy of Evil, which are designed to distract from the Christian Way of Life and confuse the believer. This results in the believer’s failure to complete execution of the Protocol Plan of God and achieve a Tactical Victory in the Angelic Conflict Appeal Trial. This confusion often results in both the believer and unbeliever becoming involved in some form or some level of idolatry such as occurs in religion and pseudo religions where demon possession is the order of the day and human sacrifice is often used to honor the demon idol gods. (1Tim 4:1)

Demon influence is always relative and it can readily occur when the individual, especially the believer, focus’ on culture and / or religion to the exclusion of Perception, Cognition, Inculcation and Metabolization of Bible Doctrine. (1Cor 2:5) Therefore, there are Divine Mandates for believers against entanglement under Demon Influence (Eph 4:27, James 4:6-8,

Prov 3:34) and it is the individual’s Volition which is the first line of defense in several categories of demon influence:

• Rejecting temptation from the old sin nature.

• Function using the Rebound Procedure to escape the Cosmic Dynasphere system.

• A saturation of Metabolized Bible Doctrine into the Right Lobe of the Stream of Consciousness of the Soul. (James 4:8)

Reversionism is, in effect, increasing and expanding degrees of demon influence on both the believer and unbeliever entangled in the Cosmic Dynasphere systems. The longer the believer resides within the Cosmic Dynaspheres without using the Rebound Procedure, the greater is the degree of demon influence directed toward him. There is a point where the THINKING and
