The superstitious doctrine of the existence of a literal "Hollywood type" Devil is exposed once and for all in this audio Bible lesson consisting of four cassette tapes (on CD's asap).  The teaching that there is a "fallen angel named Satan" roaming the Earth and attacking Christians is an invention of the dogmatic religions used as a way to control congregations with fear.  This tape series covers every Bible verse used by spiritists and occult gurus in their attempt to spread this false doctrine.  The truth of Yahweh's Word teaches no such thing as a literal "Devil/Satan" fallen angelic being.    The Bible explicitly and clearly defines "satan" as two things.  1) Our sinful flesh.  2) The enemies of Jesus Christ who are real live people.  Don't miss this informative tape series.  Order below:

A MINI BIBLE LESSON ABOUT SO CALLED "SATAN":

    Contrary to what church clergy have told their congregations for centuries, there is not one verse in the Bible that supports the teaching that a literal personal Devil named SATAN, ever existed.  As the fable goes, supposedly "The Devil"  was once a high angel in heaven but he rebelled against God and was cast down to planet Earth. The plain truth is, this doctrine has been used for ages to frighten people into obeying the denominational churches and their priests ---  "after all" we've been told,  "it's only the priests or ministers who can teach us how to be protected from Satan's wiles".  For this claimed spiritual protection, generations of unsuspecting people have given their money and pledged their property to the churches.   But in reality, any Scriptural reference to “the Devil” being a PERSON is merely poetic license in the Scriptures, used for an  illustration to make a point, just as we personify hurricanes by giving “them” people’s names such as "Katrina" or "Hugo". The doctrine of a personal Devil is superstition rooted in Roman Catholic ignorance of God's Word, and yet it has been passed onto, and still promoted by, the Protestant churches as well.

  For the truth seeking Christian,  what is the biggest spiritual danger in letting one’s understanding succumb to this false teaching?

 That danger is a subtle but effective sabotage in one’s heart, of the true reason why Christ came in the flesh, and of knowing the purpose of His salvation for us!! 

   God's Word teaches that Jesus Christ came to destroy SIN that reigned in our flesh; and not to destroy an imaginary "Devil".  In this spiritual fact our salvation securely rests .

  The Scriptures teach that the real conversion of a believer  (and his coming out of the ways of the world) is that he is made alive in his understanding of Christ’s salvation.  This means to know with a heartfelt certainty exactly what it was that Christ destroyed so that we may be saved unto eternal life!   (repentance is changing from sin to being obedient to God, not in fighting "a Devil" in some frantic "spirit battle")

  Believing that Christ came to destroy a personal Devil Being, and that our primary and  present battle is against this so called “fallen angel” and his "demons", is a denial of the salvation wrought by our God. Why? Precisely because the Bible explains that the real Devil that Christ came to conquer is SIN in our mortal flesh. (a secondary meaning of a “satan” is this word being used to describe mere mortal people who are adversaries of The Everliving God of the Bible and His laws)

   A very short review of exactly what “devil” it is, that Christ destroyed by His crucifixion on the Cross, is as follows: (this is by no means a complete study)

Hebrews 2:14 “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He (Jesus) also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might DESTROY HIM that had the power of death, that is, the devil;”

Romans 6:6 "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of SIN might be DESTROYED, that henceforth we should not serve sin."

   Now what does the Bible teach concerning that which is the cause of death which entered into the world? A fallen angel devil? No. It’s none other than sin:

Romans 5:12 “Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) ,SIN entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”

Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Master.”

Plainly, as we see above, SIN (not an invisible Devil person) is the cause and power of death .

   But "hold on" you might say, "my preacher says that The Devil is the Prince of this world". 

  Precisely what is the “prince of this world” that reigns in the evil of men’s hearts? Is this prince a literal Devil called Satan as some teach? Again, No. The Bible itself explains it’s own symbolism. It is sin which is “the prince who reigned” over the world:

John 12:27 (Jesus said) “Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.

30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. 

31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD be cast out.”

Hallelujah!, the Bible teaches that Christ came to cast out this "reigning prince", however this "prince" is the same thing that we just read in the verses above where Christ destroyed the "devil", namely SIN at The Crucifixion.

Romans 5:21 "That as SIN HATH REIGNED unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Master."

Romans 6:16 "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, HIS SERVANTS YE ARE to whom ye obey; WHETHER OF SIN unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" (a really good example here of how the Bible personifies sin as a ruler, a prince !!)

And the Bible further explains that this “Devil” who was condemned by the Cross of Jesus Christ, by which cross that “Devil” was destroyed and taken away from “his” rule, is sin itself. This is the salvation of the sacrifice of Jesus -- His triumph over sin, personified by the term we know as "the Devil".

Romans 8:3 "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:"

1 John 3:5 "And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin."

  Yes, dear Christian brothers and sisters, Jesus Christ was manifest in the flesh for the purpose of providing His kinsmen with the greatest of salvations – the destruction of sin in our flesh (the "devil") - by which destruction we are made pure unto eternal life in the eyes of our loving Heavenly Father.  Furthermore, the Bible is clear that any belief which says otherwise and states that Christ’s enemy (and our enemy) is really a Hollywood-type wicked angelic being, is in reality a denial of the very salvation worked for us by the will and purpose of Yahweh God Almighty !! Let’s not have our hearts deceived by the misleading doctrine of the superstitious churches and their false prophets.  Do we want a closer relationship with Our Father?  More importantly, do we NEED such a closer relationship?? Then we must strive for and yearn for His Truth to cast out the darkness of the carnal mind and its clever deceptions --- which very deceptions keep the transforming awareness of Christ's true salvation hidden under superstitious vaults of men's religion. In that true salvation Christ has conquered SIN for us. There is much more crucial discussion about the supposed "Satan" Bible chapters and verses explained on the tape lessons "Satan and Unclean Spirits: the gods that Aren't".  Please order above.
