What would be even more deceitful is if Satan is running all religion. Like a three card monte game and the only way to see it- come out of it.
The birth and death of Jesus was a PLAN. ONLY GOD KNEW WHAT THE PLAN WAS .. AND HE CLEVERLY NEVER TOLD ANYBODY.
Imagine .. not even Gabriel really knew what Jesus’ mission was (to die for the salvation of humanity), to pay for the sins of mankind.
GOD kept it a secret for this reason: If Satan had known what Jesus was up to .. SATAN WOULD NEVER HAVE KILLED JESUS.
