“He takes what is true. The absolute truth of God. He uses the truth of God to gain souls. It’s the little bit of subtle twisting of Scripture that gives him a score.”
Well said. This long thread has many textbook examples.
One theme that deceived persons ply is to cloak themselves in gentility and agreement and paint a protestant (lol) as devoid of the fruit of the Spirit, argumentative, divisive. Yet their love’s a liar, not holding to the TRUTH.
The Spirit of God is the Spirit of TRUTH! He doesn’t “come in by another way” such as the occult New Age and its channeled messages. Vassula Ryden is the topic of these latests post but pick your poison...false teachers preaching ANOTHER JESUS and A DIFFERENT GOSPEL are growing exponentially.
Oh, they’re all so nice and reasonable. That mean ole John said don’t even bid them godspeed. Where’s his LOVE? Or for that matter, Paul’s:
“Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.”—Romans 16:17-18
Satan knows Scripture, and uses it skillfully to draw us AWAY into the fantastic instead of the long haul of FAITH WITHOUT SEEING (which God highly commends).

It is alarming, Avenir. Occultism is everywhere these days. It is all around, all the time, and packaged so prettily. It’s such a smooth and seductive message that FEELS so good.
Admittedly, it took me a long while to get it through my own thick skull that there is nothing I can do but humbly and thankfully receive His grace which came at the highest price ever paid. There is absolutely nothing else anyone can do but flee to Yeshua to be covered by the grace only He could secure for us. That route seems to be too simple for some and so they feel they must add to it. For others, it’s not exciting enough.
New Age BS is simply a smooth road to hell with beautiful scenery and lovely music to keep one dull and distracted until the final destination is reached.
Things are moving at a fast pace.
Blessings, Avenir.
