Book Jesus the Winemaker  Satan s Most Effective Lie

Download or read book Jesus the Winemaker Satan s Most Effective Lie written by Al Lunden and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2011-11-04 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satans most effective lie? What conceivable falsehood would be more devastating to Christianity than the false inference that Jesus was and is a maker and user of wine or of any other mind-altering drug? Jesus was a man of perfection and without sin! Is drug use not a sin? This book provides a solid and perhaps somewhat revolutionary biblical hypothesis to firmly prove that Moses did not use wine and that Jesus did not make or use any wine. This hypothesis is based entirely on the original Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, because the Hebrew word yayin and the Greek word oinos were falsely or inadequately translated into Latin and into other European languages at some time after the hostile takeover of the New Testament Church in Rome by Constantine the Great. This conclusion is supported by Strongs Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible and by his Hebrew and Greek dictionaries, by the books of Dr. Robert P. Teachout and Dr. Samuel Bacchiocchi, by the Full Life Study Bible edited by Donald C. Stamps, and by the Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible and Lexicons of Spiros Zodhiates. Satan is to blame for this false translation, as he is, as Hal Lindsey once said, Alive and well on planet Earthand has overwhelming power when we allow him dominion. Those ancient words for wine and grape juice were all generic or interchangeable in literature, even until the King James Version of the Bible was printed. The original KJV is actually acceptable, but the absolute inerrancy and infallibility of Scripture have been faulted by the false translation of wine in modern Bibles since that time. Another proposed biblical hypothesis states that Satan inspired the equivalent of a hostile corporate takeover of the New Testament Church in Rome. This was done through Emperor Constantines agreement to cease the persecution and genocide of Christianity if he and his army were given key positions of respect or authority in the church. This resulted in the world's most powerful union of church and state, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, which has now existed for many centuries.

Book Combating the Lies of Satan

Download or read book Combating the Lies of Satan written by Shirley White and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-04-29 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satan is on a rampage; he has inundated our world with a multiplicity of dangerous lies and is convincing men to feast on them while rejecting Gods holy Word. However, even though Satans concocting these lies, man is not an innocent party to this deception; Satan may be spreading lies, but man entertains them of his own volition and perpetuates them. Man is electing to reject God and the doctrinal teachings of the Bible; he prefers to indulge teachings that ?agrantly contradict Scripture. Man is Satans accomplice; he is complicit and culpable because he disregards the Word of God and chooses lies over truth. Average people have no clue theyre being deceived by a clever and diabolical spirit. Satans deception and cleverness are so astute that hes convinced many to believe the lie that he doesnt exist. However, he does exist, and the purpose of this book is to expose him, his lies, and his deceptions and to expose, refute, and combat the numerous deadly lies so prevalent in our world today that many have embraced. Much in this book will be seen by many as controversial and politically incorrect, but this book is factual and biblically sound; it will equip you with knowledge and insights from the Word of God to prevent you from falling prey to Satans deceptions. God loves you, Jesus died for you, and it is my prayer that you carefully consider and investigate everything in this book and make the crucial decision to believe God and His Word versus Satan and his lies.

  • Publisher : Xlibris Corporation

  • ISBN : 1664195866
  • Pages : 307 pages

Download or read book Satan s Greatest Lies written by George H. Russell and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, George H. Russell has struggled to understand the meaning and purpose of ‘Organized Religion’ as condemned by Jesus and also to understand why wars and genocide are frequently associated with religion—making it seem that death and destruction are somehow condoned by God. While singing ‘Onward Christian Soldiers, Marching As to War’ in church, Russell could think only about Christians slaughtering Jews, Moors, Native Americans and others all in the name of Jesus. Satan’s Greatest Lies chronicles Russell’s attempts to understand a peculiar interpretation of Christian ideology encountered while living in East Texas. This is the introductory part of his book , followed by The Ethician Bible in which Satanic verses are removed from The Holy Bible by the author to spread only God’s loving messages to humankind. In Russell’s opinion, many of the messages in the Bible should be considered as sent from an evil Satan, not a benevolent God.

Book excerpt: "Satan wants to control, manipulate, and demoralize God's people. How does he do this? During one of his most intense spiritual battles, international evangelist Steve Foss received a series of prophetic dreams and visions that exposed the key weapon the enemy is using against God's people: shame. Believers are ashamed of past mistakes. Churches are being shamed for defending the gospel. Brother is turning against brother as the culture shames anyone who does not walk in lockstep with its agenda. Cancel culture itself is a way of shaming people into submission to the status quo. Shame is transforming our culture into a godless, sin-celebrating society. In Satan's Big Fat Lie, Foss exposes Satan's great end-time strategy and how Christians can war against it. Shame was the final attack upon Jesus when He was on the cross, and it was designed to keep Him from fulfilling His destiny. But God has given His people a powerful weapon to triumph over the enemy's attacks. We overcome the deceptive attacks of the enemy when we learn to use the keys God has given us to stand strong in these last days"--

Book Jesus the Truth Vs  Satan the Liar

Download or read book Jesus the Truth Vs Satan the Liar written by Honolulu Cops for Christ and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-12-11 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Gospels, Jesus called Satan the Father of Lies. From the beginning of Mankind until the present, Satan has been lying to mankind in order to destroy us and keep us from eternal life with God. Our first ancestors fell victim to a lie of Lucifer, and because of their fall, all humanity fell under the influence of the devil. Jesus came to earth to break Satan’s power over us. Jesus referred to Himself as the Light of the World and as the Truth. He wants to deliver humanity out of the spiritual darkness and deception in which Satan has mankind trapped. A spiritual battle rages between Jesus and Satan for the souls of men. The weapons of Satan are his numerous lies. The weapon of Jesus is the truth of His Word. He said that the truths He taught were a solid and unshakable foundation in a world of shifting and sinking sand. In Jesus the Truth vs. Satan the Liar, this cop for Christ exposes many of the dark lies of Satan that are spread within America’s higher education system. They are exposed by the light of biblical truth, giving students the knowledge they need to reject the lies and all who spread them. 84 84

Book The Gospel According to Satan

Download or read book The Gospel According to Satan written by Jared C. Wilson and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not every lie sounds untrue. Some lies are repeated so often they seem to be common sense. That's why lies about God are so dangerous. The Gospel According to Satan examines eight lies the enemy wants us to believe and provides eight lines of counterattack against them. The lies include: God just wants you to be happy; you only live once you need to live your truth; and just let go and let God. Jared C. Wilson reveals why these lies appeal to us, shows how they harm us, and provides ways to counteract them. We can renounce Satan's counterfeit gospel, but first we must see it for what it is. "Enumerates the major ways the Devil uses his cunning and calculating ways of luring us off the narrow road of God's grace. We will all do well to read this book and confront the lies we are being sold."--Kyle Idleman, senior pastor of Southeast Christian Church and author of Not a Fan and Don’t Give Up "A unique, compelling, and even witty look at the devil's current greatest hits--lies we urgently need to unmask." --Sam Allberry, speaker for Ravi Zacharias International Ministries and author of 7 Myths About Singleness and Why Does God Care Who I Sleep With? "One of the most thought-provoking writers in the Christian world today... He doesn’t just describe the tantalizing falsehoods of our age, he exposes how they've slithered into our hearts."--Matt Smethurst, managing editor at The Gospel Coalition and author of Before You Open Your Bible

Book THE BIGGEST LIE   Satan Was Never An Archangel in Heaven

Download or read book THE BIGGEST LIE Satan Was Never An Archangel in Heaven written by Pastor John Anosike and published by Pastor John Anosike. This book was released on 2020-12-13 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written with accurate biblical hermeneutics, The scriptural references are in context and Interpretations are based on the author’s intention of meaning; historically, grammatically, culturally as well as conventions and literary forms. We understand the natural instinct to oppose what seems to be coming against inculcated norms but someone took the first bold step in receiving the set norms that be now. Moses was openhearted to receive God’s fresh move of the time and the disciples of Jesus were openhearted to discern the ‘Moses move’ was over and a new chapter had begun in Christ. The Pharisees did not give the revelation of Jesus a chance; hindering the fresh move of God from hitting a higher scale & making master-impact. We therefore ask you to be one of the first that would receive what God is saying now -through this book and have an open minded read. We are open to hear your thoughts. You are welcome to disagree. Pastor John wrote this book in good conscience not to cause conflict or appear superior above anyone but in pure love for the Body of Christ and The Church of Jesus to know their true positioning and gain greater spiritual victories. God bless you

Book excerpt: People all over the world are looking for Truth, because of their everyday struggles and suffering.The Bible is full of God's Truth, but people still believe the lies of the devil.This book is not my opinion, but Truth revealed to me by God after a severe struggle with gambling and alcohol addiction, bitterness and emotional stress.Remember that Satan, the carnal mind, is a liar and everything that it accomplishes through us is false. God says,"Little children, let no one deceive you: the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start"(1 John 3:7-8). Is this not clear enough to destroy all doubts about God and Satan?All the evil in this world stems from the belief in another god.One that is evil, while the only God, Who is our Father command us not to acknowledge any other gods, but Him only.The great Truth is that we are His spiritual image and likeness, but we do not take it seriously (James 3:9).In the Bible we read about Abraham, Daniel, Gideon, Joshua, Samson, Moses and Elisha who were ordinary people like you and me, but witnessed God's Truth, His maintenance of harmony, because they knew and understood that good is the only reality.They never bowed before the lies of Satan.Even Jesus, our Savior labelled the devil as a liar and that there is no Truth is Him (John 8:44).Jesus healed many people and demonstrated to the world that God's Spirit gives us life and that the flesh profits nothing (John 6:63).God's awareness of health, harmony, goodness and bliss is also ours, because we are His offspring, His image and likeness.Just as God, we cannot become sick, suffer, experience discord, have a lack or die. Please, let us not doubt this Truth any longer, because it is only t

Book Good Vs  Evil       Overcoming Degradation Through the Love and Brilliance of God Book One

Download or read book Good Vs Evil Overcoming Degradation Through the Love and Brilliance of God Book One written by Jerry Davis and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The truth is we are all just a little bit crazy in some areas of our life to a whole lot of crazy. Being miss-directed is one of the things mankind has in common as the various forms of insanity work the same way in every one of us. We've all been programmed to unknowingly believe in a host of lies and it's our belief in the need to uphold the lies that do us in. There are laws that pertain to the universe. These laws cannot be broken without creating diverse consequences. With every action there is an opposite reaction of effect. And where do the decisions we make come from? They generally come from our minds. The question then becomes, "Who's controlling the mind?" If your mind is at work and in agreement with you then you would rightly say you are controlling your mind. But if you occasionally find that your mind is working against you then you should consider you are not solely in control. Jesus referred to Satan as, the father of lies. I intend to show how the workings of evil are constructed through the placement of lies and how these lies in combination are at work to disrupt our lives. I will show how the longest and greatest lie is packaged and how the six major steps that makes up a combined package works powerfully against you. Then I will show how the effects from the lies get all mixed in with the pain you experience and how the end results can be devastating. This book is about our need for revelation and offers the reader an opportunity to begin a personal journey with life as it truly is. This is a lifelong journey in Spirit and truth and it begins with your full recognition of the need for having God working continuously in your life.

Book God Can Not Be Trusted  and Five Other Lies of Satan

Download or read book God Can Not Be Trusted and Five Other Lies of Satan written by Tony Evans and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2005-09-06 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does God Really Have Your Best Interest at Heart? Doubting His holiness? Thinking maybe you shouldn’t completely surrender to Him, that you’re better off in charge of your own life? Well, say hello to the father of these lies: Satan. He’s an old pro using the same brilliant, deceptive tactics to harm you every time—unless you dare call his bluff and refuse to ever be his victim again. In God Can Not Be Trusted (and Five Other Lies of Satan), you’ll discover how to recognize the devil’s six ancient tactics, and claim victory over each one. Your only hope is in the power of Jesus Christ. Because only Christ can conquer Satan. He already has. So flood your mind with truth, and begin to see the lies for what they are. You’ll never be duped by them again, free to live abundantly in light of God’s truth! Have You Been Fooled? God must be out to get me. I’m better off doing my own thing. Sure it’s a sin, but I can get away with it! Do you recognize these thoughts? Then you have been fooled. And Satan is laughing. Because if he can deceive you, he will destroy your state of mind, ruin your relationships, and steal your joy. Do not let him. Dr. Tony Evans equips you to recognize Satan’s conniving tactics and boldly declare his lies for what they are. Winning this game is easier than you may think. And victorious living in light of God’s truth is your daily reward! Story Behind the Book A common theme emerged as Tony Evans held counseling sessions with countless individuals. People seemed completely unaware of how the spiritual realm was at work in their lives. “They saw clearly with their physical eyes,” he says, “but remained unaware of the evil, unseen spiritual activity that either caused or aggravated their physical world. Even in my own life, when I faced challenges or struggles, I would often reference the physical system without first looking at the spiritual cause,” says Tony. “Thus this book’s message was born to more effectively help people understand and address their struggles from a spiritual point of view.”

Book excerpt: (excerpt from book)Lie: You need to experience sin in order to understand the negative consequences so that you can warn others.A favorite among the lies Satan whispers, the illusion that sinning will actually aid us in helping others is a trap many fall into. Yet this trap is only a half-truth. While it is true that helping others is a good thing, the deception comes in convincing us that we cannot help others without first succumbing to, and therefore understanding, the sin.In this lie the only ones who could effectively help others overcome their sins would be those who have committed that sin themselves. Yet if this were a reality, then Jesus would not have been able to warn or teach anyone a single thing. Society has no shortage of examples of people who have destroyed their lives through sin - but in the end, it is from the one who had no sin that we can learn the most.--------------------------------------------The Master Deceiver: Understanding Satan's Lies and How to Resist Them is a straightforward guide filled with clear doctrine and tailored tools that will help you develop your personal arsenal in your battles against Satan.

  • ISBN : 9781091834224
  • Pages : 234 pages

Download or read book 100 Top Lies of Satan written by Anonymous and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for Christians. Many Christians have different beliefs in certain areas from one another. Are there absolute truths that can be known from the Bible on which all Christians should agree? Jesus prayed in John 17:20-23 that His followers should be one as He and His Father were one. Is everyone who says he is a Christian really a Christian? This book will attempt to answer that question and many like it by rebutting each of the 100 lies listed. Only the Bible will be used to refute the lies and it will not rely on denominational doctrines or human wisdom and philosophies. The lies are sequenced in a logical order in order for each response to a lie to build upon previous explanations. As a result, it is strongly encouraged that the reader read this book sequentially and not skip around. Some statements or reasoning may not make sense otherwise. The first set of lies (#100-84) deal mainly with God's Truth and how to approach and incorporate His Word as a Christian. The subsequent topics will deal with faith, the work of Jesus Christ accomplished by His death on the cross, divine healing, the Holy Spirit, and the moral government of God.After studying all 100 lies and their corresponding truths, the reader will advance from what the New Testament refers to as babes in Christ, to a child, to a young man/woman, and finally to a perfect man. This is God's will for every Christian diligently searching for who God is (Hebrews 11:6).

Book Good Vs  Evil

Download or read book Good Vs Evil written by Jerry Davis and published by . This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book One may appear to be a little scary to read because it takes you into evil and the destruction of lives. Far too many people won't begin to take a look. What mankind doesn't recognize from afar is that he has been in agreement with many of the lies being perpetuated, through the deceitfulness of evil and his lack a awareness. He managed to get himself in, and now he must fully participate in getting himself out. The good news is Book Two is providing the help necessary to bring you out. It's giving you the map, and the access to understanding that which will help to set yourself free. You will find you cannot do all of it alone. The life of Jesus Christ is being utilized in Book Two as our ultimate leader, teacher, and guide. You will want to understand the heart, courage and genius which was developed Him from living His life in faith. The attributes of Jesus can and should be studied and duplicated. His teachings are aptly quoted to illustrate various results of life; and provide oppositions of thought to counter the mechanics of evil being levied against us through the minds of the self. Jesus gave us His teachings, examples and demonstrations over two thousand years ago. Mankind has made progress since then in maintaining his sanity and integrity, but our progress has not proven, to me, to be enough. Look closely at people and their problems and you will see that far too many people are living with way too much pain and fear. And we all hear stories of good religious people who experience a fall as they become subject to sinning. Yes, we are all sinners but much of the sinning we do is because we do not greatly understand! The mechanics of evil and the thousands of approaches Satan has to engage a man, are often overwhelming! I look at our world today and can see the many compulsions at work in the minds of men in mass, and I'm genuinely concerned. Man doesn't begin to understand the size, complexity, and scope of all that he is up against in our world as it is. We've all heard of Satan, and most of us will acknowledge he is there to damage our life, but generally that's as far as our knowledge of him goes. It is our ignorance of him that make us most vulnerable. When we don't recognize the decisions we make are in league with supporting his working mechanics in pain, then we don't have much of a chance. We need to become enlightened in order to be protective of our souls, which is the basis and design of book number three. Book Two has two agendas which I continue to present throughout. I continue to show the reader the ongoing dilemmas he has to contend with through the cunning and deceit of evil in full cooperation with the six major steps of the longest and greatest lie ever told. Various aspects of the lie are a part of each one of us, and the lies will literally have to be removed. This will take a lot of time and hard work. While you will be steadily at work getting to the truth, I will continue to show the you the things you will need to actively involve yourself in, in order to bring yourself out. There are no easy solutions, and there is little gain to be made without the accommodation of some pain. But the pain will be tolerable and the end will remain as a blessing in your sights! You have the Trinity of God working within you through your deep and deliberate breathing. You have scriptures of truth to be studied at your disposal, and you will have the blessings of your memorized prayer. You have the love, faith and forgiveness of God working within your essence of being. You will be learning to let go and trust in God. The more you learn to love them as the Trinity, the more you will grow in faith. And as Jesus told us, It is from faith, God will make us well.

Book excerpt: Every believer in Messiah Jesus Christ, indeed all his followers deserve to walk in the fullness of His truth. My primary purpose of writing this book 'Babel of Lies" was to awaken every Christian who reads this book to the truth of his calling. This book will not only journey with you to unveil the influence the lies in the church but also guide the reader with divine wisdom on discerning and escaping these lies and also living above the dominion of Satan's lies. 1.Jesus speaking to Pharisees, the religious leaders of his days, emphasized on the devils cunning ability to tell a lie so well because it stems from his inbuilt nature. We all need to ask ourselves, how many lies has the enemy deposited in our memory bank? Chances are these lies have become the new truth we believe in. Jesus speaking to the religious leaders said; "You are of your father the devil and your will is to do your fathers desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and has nothing to do with the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he talks from his own character, for he is a liar and father of lies. (John.8:44) A lie is the expression of Satan's nature. In the garden of Aden, he twisted the mind of Adam so so well that when he posed the question to Adam; did God say And followed it up with a bold lie, DIE? You shall not surely die! In other words, the all mighty is the one who is a liar and He is falsely threatening you with death By the time the devil was done with Adam, reality and truth in Adams mind had taken a paradigm shift to fantasy and deception. THE 4 PRINCIPLES OF LIES 1Every lie a person believes in is associated with a corresponding fear projected into the mindset. 2The lies a person believes in makes the devil larger in their lives than he is. 3Every lie we believe in give the devil a foothold in the lives of the people lied to. 4Through deception, the lies one believes becomes their standard of what is true. You will never know the truth until the truth becomes your life and your life becomes His. The truth requires absolute total surrender to the Son of the living Yahweh. It is an exchange of life in the most intimate way and also in a covenant setting. Jesus describes this intimacy in John.14:20 as "you in me and I in you as I am in my Father. In other words; you Jesus and our Father in heaven become "Eshad" or "one". At that point you are the truth and the truth is you. THE BABEL OF LIES will take you step by step in unveiling the lies that have influenced the church history so that you can make a conscious choice of becoming the truth in Him who is the truth.
