Introduction.
There should be no doubt, Satan has a plan, and it is to deceive God’s faithful remnant in the end times with his subtle deceptions. We have no reason to trust any of the devil’s minions on earth, none of them; whether they call themselves Christians, whether they form a large denomination, or whether they assume some seemingly acceptable form of human benefactor.
We can go to the Bible to see how our enemy works. In Genesis, right after creation, we find the story of the fall. You are aware that there are two creation accounts in the Bible? We find the original in Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 2:3. Then follows the complementary creation story that begins in Genesis 2:4 and continues to Genesis 2:25.
We have the following background.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat, (Genesis 1:29). This is the original command God gave to man.
Then we find the same thing rendered in a more complete way:
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil, (Exodus 2:9) … // … and … And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die, (Genesis 2:16-17).
Then we can see how Satan twists and turns what God has said. This is found in Genesis chapter 3. There we read:
Now the serpent was more cunning than any other beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (Genesis 3:1). We remember that God said they could eat of every tree of the garden, except of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
As we see, Satan uses the same words, shuffles them a little, and adds a subtle change. God said they could eat of every tree with one exception, but Satan asks Eve, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? This is as close to God’s commandment as it is possible to get, yet as far away as possible.
Another example, which has also had a devastating effect on almost all of Christendom, concerns the mark of God and the mark of the beast. Mark, sign and seal are synonymous words and can be used interchangeably as they mean the same thing: a mark is a sign is a seal. The mark of the beast is found in Revelation 13:16: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. A mark here is the mark of the beast, which the beast administers on behalf of its boss – Satan. There is nothing in the Bible about what the mark of the beast is, not even a small hint.
However, we find the mark of God in the Bible, and this mark is explained quite clearly. In Ezekiel 20:12 we find this text: Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I [am] the LORD that sanctify them. There are many who get hung up on the fact that it says Sabbaths in the plural. This is because God’s Sabbath comes to us every single week, and thus they come in the plural.
But the word sabbaths which is here translated in the plural is derived from the Hebrew verb shabath which means pause and in a figurative sense to refrain from working specifically on the Sabbath. It is probably more correct to translate it in the singular such as among others New Living Translation, Bishops Bible 1568, International Standard Version, Contemporary English Version og Good News Translation gjør:
Bishops Bible 1568: I gaue them also my Sabbath to be a token betwixt me and them, and therby to knowe that I am the Lorde which halowe them.
New Living Translation: And I gave them my Sabbath days of rest as a sign between them and me. It was to remind them that I am the LORD, who had set them apart to be holy.
International Standard Version:Also, I instituted my Sabbath for them as a sign between me and them, so they would know that I am the LORD, who has set them apart.
Contemporary English Version: And I commanded them to respect the Sabbath as a way of showing that they were holy and belonged to me.
Good News Translation: I made the keeping of the Sabbath a sign of the agreement between us, to remind them that I, the LORD, make them holy.
Also in Ezekiel 20:20 we find the same: And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I [am] the LORD your God. The question then becomes why we should keep God’s Sabbath holy. The answer to this is also found during creation. In Genesis 2:2-3 we find this: And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
What is it that can make something holy, like a day? The day does not become holy because we keep it holy, but because God is especially present on the seventh day of the week, and with God’s presence on this day it becomes holy, and if we keep the seventh day holy we will be blessed.
We can state that God has a sign, mark or seal, and that is the seventh day of the week. When we also know that Satan always gets as close to God’s truth as possible, yet as far away as he can get, we understand that Satan’s mark, for he is the originator of this mark, is a day of the week. Then there are only seven choices left. Which day is furthest from the seventh day which is the last day of the week? It is, of course, the first day of the week, our Sunday. Satan’s mark, which the beast administers, then becomes Sunday.
This is as subtle a change as the lie he served Eve, and almost all Christians throughout the world today believe that Sunday is God’s holy day. Talk about succeeding with his deceptions!
Peter gives a clear warning and a description of how the devil, and his agents work: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, (1 Peter 5:8).
In the text we find the word sober. This word is translated from the Greek grêgore’ô which means to watch and to be alert. When it is translated as sober it can be defended, even though it can be misunderstood. Someone who is intoxicated by alcohol, drugs or Satan’s seductions, is easily drawn into what is not good for man. I have first-hand knowledge of this as a former alcoholic. If you are intoxicated, whether it is alcohol, drugs or the devil’s seductions, your senses are dulled by the intoxication, you become dull, and nothing is as important as if you are sober. Therefore, it is appropriate in a way to translate sober even though the best would have been to use to watch or to be alert. Because we must be vigilant so that we are not dragged into the maelstrom of Satan’s lies.
All texts are taken from the King James Version 1611/1769 unless otherwise stated.
Under many disguises.
In ecclesiastical disguise.
I began by saying that we have no reason to trust any of the devil’s minions on earth, none of them; regardless of whether they call themselves Christians or whether they form a large denomination. This is a big problem.
As I also mentioned at the beginning, our enemy acts in a subtle way. He knows the Bible better than any living person. He is the most diligent Bible student there is, and he knows the Bible inside and out. He, and his fallen angels, have also studied humans, and they know us better than we know ourselves. Satan therefore has a wealth of information that he wants to use against us, and he bombards us with his lies 24 hours a day.
How does the Bible describe this struggle? In Ephesians 6:12, Paul writes: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
This clearly shows us how difficult this struggle is. We have the worst adversary we can imagine, and this adversary has been spying on and finding out everything about each of us. He knows our strengths, but even more important is it that he knows all our weaknesses, and he exploits those weaknesses as best he can. Satan does not hesitate to use everything he knows about us to make us fall from faith in the Creator.
He does not need to make us Satanists and devil worshipers, in the sense that we put into the words. He is satisfied as long as he can get us to blame God for the evil in the world that Satan himself is the origin of. He works in the most strange ways through the church, and another and more picturesque way of describing Satan’s infiltration into the church is found in Revelation. There John writes this: And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter, (Revelation 8:10-11).
Here there are many words and expressions that need explanation.
A star is explained in Revelation 1 verse 20 as the leader of the church or congregation, but there is every reason to assume that we are dealing with a different entity here. Who is this great star that fell from heaven? If we are to interpret this expression according to our own whims, we will get many strange answers that have nothing to do with reality. The Bible, on the other hand, is a book that interprets itself, and if we go to Revelation 9:1 we find the answer to this: And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. See also Isaiah 14:12 which also tells of a fallen star: How you are fallen from heaven, O shining star, son of the morning! You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world. (New Living Translation).
This star is none other than Lucifer, or Satan. It says that the star – Satan, fell on a third of the rivers. What does this mean? Seas, rivers and water are used to describe people. It also says that it fell on the fountains of water. Here we must make a distinction between the rivers and the fountains of water. As long as the rivers represent people, what or who represent the springs of water? Without water we will not survive many days. Water is therefore vital to us. Jesus is explained as the water of life – the fountain of this water, and then we must see the fountains of water as the pure and undefiled words of God to people.
Now we have a background for interpreting the word Wormwood, as this star or Satan was called. When the star called Wormwood falls on the water, this probably means that people are affected by Satan in one way or another. When the star falls on the fountains of water, it is the word of God that is affected in one way or another. Both the rivers and the springs of water are polluted by Wormwood.
In the Bible, the name characterizes the person who bears the name. So when the star here is called Wormwood, it probably has a meaning for how we should understand it all. When this star is called Wormwood, it gives reason to stop and think about what lies in the meaning of this word. We primarily associate wormwood with something bitter, and the plant has been used for many things throughout history. Excessive intake of wormwood, or thujone, which is a substance that occurs naturally in wormwood oil, can cause sleep problems … … intestinal cramps … … nausea … … vomiting … … dizziness … … tension … … brain damage … … … … and ultimately death.
The parallel to false doctrines is certainly present in that false doctrine in small doses is not deadly in itself, but false doctrine over time leads to death as wormwood does. It is not physical death that I mean in this connection, but spiritual death. I think this tells us that it is Satan who is behind all paganism and all unbiblical traditions that the church has absorbed over the years. Unfortunately, many people, yes most people, will not care about this message.
Satan has managed the masterpiece that he has infiltrated the church in general. Here he has gained a good foothold, and from here, from the Christian church, he continues to spread his lies about God and his false doctrines out to almost all of Christendom. With him in this work he has first and foremost the fallen angels he took with him in his own fall, and secondly, all the church denominations he has infiltrated. This constitutes a formidable force that God’s faithful remnant must fight against every single day.
In secular disguise.
There are many secular organizations that are engaged in charitable work and that help thousands of people who are in extreme need. There are many such organizations that are lifted up and promoted as something great. It is not difficult to admit that this work in itself is commendable, but we must look behind the facade. When such organizations oppose God and God’s end-time church, and rather show their connection with paganism, it is easy to understand what Ellen G. White says in Last days event:
The Spirit of Prophecy says the following: The strongest bulwark of vice in our world is not the iniquitous life of the abandoned sinner or the degraded outcast; it is that life which otherwise appears virtuous, honorable, and noble, but in which one sin is fostered, one vice indulged … Genius, talent, sympathy, even generous and kindly deeds, may thus become decoys of Satan to entice souls over the precipice of ruin, (156.1).
When those who run these organizations distance themselves from God, as we can see from the religious fruits they bear, they have become tools that the enemy uses to lead people to their downfall. It does not mean anything that they are doing charity as long as they are leading people away from God.
In Amos 3:3 the prophet asks this rhetorical question: Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
When someone distances themselves from God, it is quite obvious that they are not walking in the same way as He. Can I, who try to live by the Bible and align myself with God’s word, join forces with such people? Now many of you will probably say that I am both judgmental and condemnatory, but you do so because you do not know the God of the Bible and what the Bible teaches us.
In John 17 we find Jesus’ high priestly prayer, where He prays for His disciples and those who follow Jesus as the disciples did throughout history, and in verse 9 we find this: I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. In verse 14 we find this: I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Jesus’ own words say that we shall be hated of the world, and this is what Satan is behind. He stirs up the sea so that the waves of the sea beat upon God’s faithful people, and as I have said he will spare no means to achieve what he most desires—to eradicate true and genuine Christianity from the earth.
We therefore have no reason to trust any of the devil’s henchmen on earth, none of them; no matter how they may assume a seemingly acceptable form of human benefactor.
How can we resist Satan’s attacks when they come?
These attacks come from the four directions of heaven. 1) From the secular world, 2) From the pagan religions that include Judaism, 3) From the fallen denominations, and 4) Even from within God’s end-time church.
1) From the secular world: These attacks are the easiest to detect, because it is expected by all Christians that non-Christians will oppose Christianity. This is something that we see daily in what has come to be called the post-Christian age. The world is kind of done with Christianity, but they will soon get a big, big surprise – the second coming of Christ.
2) From the pagan religions that include Judaism: These attacks are also easy to detect, but at the same time they are a little more dangerous than the secular. We see in many places in the world that there is a mixture of different religions and Christianity – a widespread syncretism. This is in a way a subtle way of trying to destroy Christianity.
3) From the fallen denominations: Now we are beginning to move towards that which is difficult to reveal. Many people believe that quantity is a guide to what they should believe, and since the vast majority of Christians seem to believe the same, as the fallen denominations do, they take it for granted that this is what is right. Here Satan has succeeded almost perfectly in his deceptions. Many put church liturgy above a service free from human traditions and inventions. They are so filled with peace and goodness they say when I ask why they like this form of service where there are fixed forms of worship.
Such services are never filled with the Holy Spirit; they are only built up over several fixed mantras. It is not the Holy Spirit of God that leads priests, pastors or whoever preaches when there is a service full of liturgy, but there is obviously a completely different spirit behind it.
There is also widespread confusion in many free church congregations, and the most common form of confusion is the so-called speaking in tongues that charismatic Christians engage in. Today there are more charismatic Catholics than there are in all other denominations combined. In many such charismatic congregations the pastor blows the spirit on the congregation, with the result that the congregation falls backwards as if they had been shot by a cannon. In other places the pastor touches the foreheads of the congregation members with the result that they fall to the floor and writhe in spasms or laugh hysterically. This has nothing to do with a Christian church, and the spiritual power that is present on these occasions is not God’s Holy Spirit. Other denominations establish cell groups where the leader decides what the members of the group should believe and think. This is also not compatible with the word of God.
Much of what goes on within these three groups is of such nature that it itches the ear. Let’s see what Paul says about what itches the ear. In 2 Timothy 4:1-3 he writes: I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.
Paul was shown what would happen in the church he helped establish in Asia Minor and Europe, and this is exactly what is happening in our day. The devil has had great success in infiltrating the Christian church.
4) Even from within God’s end-time church: What is most difficult to expose is what comes from within our own midst. When our leaders locally or internationally engage in more or less binding cooperation within the ecumenical segment, it is no wonder that members are deceived. This can lead to others again following those who were first led astray by their leaders. This is disastrous, and eventually this will lead to the shaking that God’s end-time church must undergo in order to be cleansed and ready for the final act in this world’s history.
So what can the individual do to prevent being dragged along by the lure of Satan’s seductions, which in our time have reached right into God’s end-time church? What is the best and only way to meet these attacks?
Let’s go to Ephesians chapter 6 and see what Paul says there:
Verse 13: Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Why does Paul say that we should put on the whole armor of God? An armor was something that soldiers in ancient times wore when they went into battle.
Verse 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness. Here Paul says that we should cover belly and thighs, which is a very vulnerable place on the body, and then we should use the armour of truth and righteousness so that Satan’s attacks on us will not harm us.
Verse 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
The feet are another very vulnerable part of the body. If our feet are injured we cannot move and thus we are easy prey for those who want to kill us. Therefore, we should cover our feet with the gospel of peace because this gospel brings with it a readiness against the enemy’s attacks.
Verse 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. The shield of faith is used to cover those parts of the body that are not yet covered by the armour of God. A shield stops the devil’s fiery darts and prevents them from harming us and weakening us.
Verse 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. The last thing we should put on is the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit. This is the word of God. A helmet protects the head, and it is in the head that our cognitive faculties are located. It is what is the “engine room” of the body, and important for our understanding of what is preached. The head, or brain, is the place where we expose the devil’s false teachings. Now the whole body is protected from Satan’s insidious attacks, which are a perpetual bombardment of temptations that often seem alluring and harmless. But once Satan gets a foothold, he never gives up.
Verse 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. If we then, in addition, always pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, He will give us the help we need by putting on the breastplate of truth and righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit. Then and only then are we protected from Satan, but still we need to surrender ourselves into God’s hands every single day and seek refuge in Him who is our fortress.
Let’s look at some of the attacks that come with full force from the enemy.
Let’s look at a point that is very tender for many. It all started on April 21, 1972. It was on this day that the law that prohibited homosexuality was removed, and since that day there have been battles to liberalize the church, and in the last ten years or so it has really accelerated.
I believe that it was absolutely right to remove this law. One should not be punished just because one is different, thinks differently or has other sexual preferences than what is normal. On the other hand, the Bible explains that living in a gay/lesbian relationship is detestable and an abomination.
In 2022, the 50th anniversary of the repeal of this law was marked almost all over the world. This is something that is seen as a great victory for humanity.
But what did the homosexuals want in 1972? The mantra of the gay lobby at the time, in the years before the law was removed in 1972, was that if only this law that made homosexuals criminals was removed, then homosexuals would be satisfied with that. But alas, how far between life and doctrine. One day a few years later, when lesbians and gays had united and laid out a strategy, the next move came. Boys wanted the right to marry boys and girls wanted the right to marry girls, because it is a human right to enter into a partnership, that is; to get married.
What was the next step, or desire? They wanted to be able to marry in the same way as ordinary people, they said. There was no necessity to get married in church, no at all – so far from that – church wedding, no, no, it was absolutely not necessary – as long as they were allowed to marry each other, boy with boy and girl with girl (partnership), then everything would be so good so … … … … They just wanted the right to do what all other people did. And in 1993, Norway passed a law on registered partnerships. And suddenly, with the law in hand, they could go to the town hall, and similar places, and get married (enter into a partnership).
What happened next? As long as we are allowed to enter into partnerships, we are satisfied, was the claim. How has it gone? The church, which runs the errands of the de-Christianization organizations, and which is so politically correct that the church does not know what it can do to please the world and wicked politicians, has created its own liturgy to perform same-sex marriages.
Same-sex marriage was allowed in Norway on January 1, 2009, and the liturgy for this came into place on February 1, 2017. What will happen tomorrow (read shortly) no one knows, but there is already talk of polygamous marriages where three or more people of one or more genders marry each other. There are even those who argue that it is in the best interests of the children that they have multiple parents of the same and/or all three genders!?!
What does this do to the minds of young people? There is confusion among people in general and the young and most vulnerable in particular. But is it any wonder that the rising generation is confused? Maybe some will even demand to marry their pet … … Unfortunately, it has probably already become so that not even imagination can set limits to what will be accepted.
What about preschoolers? We also see a growing trend among children as young as preschool age who claim that they were born in the wrong body. By that, they mean that someone who is born a girl is actually a boy and vice versa. But tell me, how can a child of four, five years old, even well into puberty, who has no concept of sexuality and no sexual preferences, claim that they were born in the wrong body if they have not been indoctrinated into this by their parents, preschool teachers or other confused people?
It is quite clear that there is an agenda behind all these opinions that I call confused. Not even many of those who call themselves adults, and who claim to be clear-headed, know what gender they are. Talk about being confused.
Another thing that contributes to increasing the confusion is that it is now possible to choose which gender you want to be. The question is how many genders are there really, and can you change and get used to it as you please? Today, the individual can decide for themselves which gender they want to be, regardless of the gender they were born with. If you are a man, you can call yourself a woman if you want to, and vice versa. It has even been politically adopted that there is a third gender! which has been given the pronoun HEN, which those who are extra, extra confused can use about themselves.
We have he, she and hen. Is it any wonder that many, especially young people, are confused? And then they don’t understand why the suicide rate – especially among young people – is increasing exponentially! But as always, of course, you put the blame on the terrible homophobic people, because as you know, someone has to be made a scapegoat, and then it’s just as good to let others take the blame for the injustice you yourself commit against your own children. Because this rampant perversion has been accepted by all so-called civilized countries in the world.
Here are some verses that address this relationship, and how God views it.
In Leviticus 18:21-22, the Lord says through Moses: And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through [the fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD. Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination. This chapter is about laws that say something about sexual morality. And as we see from the two verses, God compares men lying with men to sacrificing children to Molech. Moloch is an association that refers to any idol that demanded the most precious sacrifices – often burnt offerings of children. In God’s eyes, it is just as abominable for men to lie with men as it is to sacrifice their own children.
In Romans 1:24-27, which is part of a longer section called The gentiles: guilty before God that includes Romans 1:18-32, Paul says the following, and this is worth noting: Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
In 1 Corinthians 6:9 Paul says this: Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. Here God says through Paul that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God and compares it to idolatry and adultery. Here homosexuality is linked to God’s 8th commandment: You shalt not commit adultery, (Exodus 20:14).
In 1 Timothy 1:9-10 we read: We also know that law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers – and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine, (New International Version 1984). Also in these two verses God compares the lawbreakers, rebels, ungodly, sinful, unholy, irreligious, those who kill their fathers or mothers, murderers, for adulterers, perverts, slave traders, liars and perjurers, for as Paul concludes: this is contrary to sound doctrine.
Where this deviant sexuality comes from is easy for God’s faithful remnant to see. This comes from Satan, the old serpent – the devil, to destroy the people God has created.
Today, churches all over the world have created their own liturgy for same-sex marriage, and on October 16, 2025, the Norwegian Church called a press conference to apologize for what the Norwegian Church has done wrong to this group. The press conference was not held in the Norwegian Church’s premises, but at London pub in Oslo, a gathering place for homosexuals. This is hardly a random choice but is done to show contempt for the word of God.
The two themes highlighted above revolve around what God instituted in the Garden of Eden before sin entered the world. They come in reverse order here in relation to how they were given by God. Both are great blessings given to humanity, and if we exalt all of God’s Ten Commandments, God will shower us with these blessings. The first blessing God pronounced upon mankind was when He instituted marriage between a man and a woman on the sixth day of creation week, and we read in Genesis 1:27-28 the following: So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it … …
The second blessing God pronounced upon mankind was if they kept God’s Sabbath day holy, as the Lord Himself did on the seventh day of creation week. In Genesis 2:2-3 we read: And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Marriage between a man and a woman and God’s holy day, the Sabbath, our Saturday, and the seventh day of the week, are sacred institutions, and are among the things Satan hates most of all. Therefore, he has worked double overtime since creation to get people to defile these institutions, and what he has done has been largely successful. Just look at how most denominations exalt Sunday as God’s holy day, but God has never sanctified the first day of the week. Nor do these same denominations care what God says about deviant sexual orientations. God calls them abominations, while the fallen churches even allow them to be ordained as priests and pastors, and give them other positions within the church.
One of the greatest deceptions.
In 1844, Charles Darwin began to collect his notes that later became the book The Origin of Species. This book was written with over 800 instances of doubt and uncertainty. There can be as many as more than five instances of doubt on a single page. Darwin writes, among other things: I think, I believe, we may assume, I dare not assert positively, if my theory is correct, and many similar words and expressions. The Neo-Darwinists, however, have changed these instances of doubt in newer translations, and have removed all examples that show doubt in Darwin. As if that were not enough, only the theory of evolution is taught in all schools, from preschool/primary school to university. Teaching that there is a different view of reality than the Darwinian is forbidden. It is simply not accepted.
To explain the universe as a singularity, a tiny point perhaps as small as an atomic nucleus, that saw fit to explode and then form the universe is quite incredible in itself. Imagine that a point so small that there would be room for many dozens of equally small points on the tip of a pin is supposed to have given rise to the universe we can see today. It is estimated that there are over 100 billion galaxies.
In the Milky Way, there are estimated 300 billion stars, and in the entire universe, it is believed that there are at least 70,000 trillion stars, or 230 billion times the number in the Milky Way. In addition, there are an enormous number of planets and moons and other smaller celestial bodies. There may be three, four, ten, perhaps hundreds of times as many other objects out there in addition to all the stars.
But it does not stop there. Evolutionists further claim that when planets and solar systems began to form, life arose by chance from dead matter. The probability that life could arise on its own is not really possible. The probability that life could have arisen from dead matter is estimated to be 1 in 10 raised to the 80th power. This number 10 to the 80th power is so large that it contains all the particles in the entire universe.
An atomic nucleus contains, as is well known, several particles. To believe in the Big Bang theory and the Theory of Evolution, much greater faith is needed than I have. The probability is many millions of times greater that a storm at a scrap dealer will produce a ready-to-start jumbo jet with a full crew and passengers, than that the universe began with an explosion of nothing, which later saw fit to give rise to life from dead material. I must add that there is a big difference between an evolutionist and me, even though we both believe. The difference is that I know that I believe, while an evolutionist believes that he knows.
This is one of the devil’s greatest deceptions, and it is penetrating churches around the world at the speed of light. Well, God created, they say, by starting the process billions of years ago, and since then evolution has continued through the mutation of healthy cells. Did you know that a cancer cell is a cell that has mutated? I’m just asking.
The intolerant tolerance.
Tolerance is a funny word, and I want to end with some thoughts about intolerant tolerance. Before I go any further, I must state that all people should be allowed to choose how they want to live their lives. But they should also be told that the life they are leading is not in harmony with the word of God, even though servile ministers all over the world seem to believe that it is.
We who stand on the word of God that tells us that God created man and woman, we are labelled homophobic and are threatened with police reports and lawsuits if we say anything unfavourable about this group of people. These are lawsuits that have been decided in advance, because what we are accused of doing is classified as hate speech, and hate speech is prohibited and must be cracked down on. Hate speech has even been classified as terrorism by Pope Francis, think about that.
But to the word tolerance. We are constantly told that we must show tolerance. We are told that homosexuals have the same rights as everyone else. But none of us who stand on the word of God deny that this is the case, or would take away from this group the obvious rights that all people have. The problem is the opposite way, it is not us who are intolerant, far from it. We have to tolerate that they do this and that. We have to tolerate that they get married in church. We have to tolerate that same-sex couples adopt children or use donors. We must endure everything this group demands to be allowed to do. Everything this marginal group demands must simply be complied with. We must even endure that this small group of LGBTIQ and their supporters can harass us in the most serious way without being prosecuted.
But when we who stand on the word of God dare to go out and say something ‘unfavourable’ about LGBTIQ, behold, we are engaging in hate speech, then we are homophobic and what is worse. There is only one word that covers what we are experiencing today, and that is dictatorship of opinion. Of course, it is claimed that everyone has the right to think and express what they want, but if it is not politically correct, it is suppressed, and this is exactly what dictatorship of opinion is.
One of the arguments used to defend their views and demands is that we live in 2025, (or any other year), as if this matters. This argument implies that we are so civilized that we must now tolerate and accept everything that comes from that side. But if such an argument is to have any validity, it must also be able to be used the other way around. Since we are then living in 2025 and are implied to be as civilized and highly educated as we are, the content of the Bible must be accepted by all people. Right? Same argument. So this group must accept that there is another side to the matter, something they will not accept. They simply cannot stand to hear that there is a different view of this.
But this is precisely where the intolerant tolerance comes into play. Today, being tolerant is only a one-way exercise that LGBTIQ, their supporters and the politically correct society have the right to define, exercise and decide over. It is only their opponents who should tolerate everything.
They themselves should certainly not be tolerant and tolerate anything at all. All those who do not follow what is politically correct, that is, all those who do not actively follow the gay lobby, should be gagged and silenced to death with the law in hand. But then tolerance is no longer an exercise that applies to the whole of society, then tolerance only applies to the small group that stands on the safe ground of God’s word, while those who constantly cry out for tolerance are the least tolerant and who prove not to be in possession of tolerance.
In Selected Messages 3:389 (1889), Ellen G. White says: There is now a need for earnest men and women who will labour for the salvation of men, for Satan, like a mighty general, has taken possession of the earth, and in the last days he is working by every conceivable method to prevent the light of God from shining upon those whom Satan claims as his own. He is forcing the whole world into his ranks, and the few who are faithful to God’s claims are the only ones who can ever resist him, and even these he is trying to overcome.
