PART II:
THE ORIGIN OF SATAN, EVIL, AND SIN
The Real Origin of Sin
I heard a world-famous televangelist say in his sermon that it was never Godsin-
tentionthat Adam and Eve disobey His command and sin by eating of the forbidden
tree. Most Christians would agree. They think God did not want Adam to sin; and
Adam did not need to sin. If Adam hadnotsinned, we would all be living in a giant
Garden of Eden to this very day. We would be in perfect health, there would be no
sorrow, we would have pleasure twenty-four hours a day, we would never die, we
would be happy and God too would be happy.
If Adam had shown just a little restraint the world wouldnt be in the giant mess
it is in today. Oh really? Well, why then didnt Adam exercise restraint. What went
wrong? Did the first humansmalfunction? Was there aflawin their original design.
God was the Designer; is God theblame? Not according to Christendom. Is He at
leastresponsible? Not according to Christendom. But why not?
Now listen carefully. Here is wisdom beyond its years. When a scientist creates
an experiment or machine that malfunctions, is he responsible for the malfunction?
Yes. Does he hold the experiment or machine responsible? No. Does he hold God re
sponsible? No. Okay.
Now then, according to Christendom, when God creates an experiment or ma
chine that malfunctions, is He responsible for the malfunction? No. Does He hold
the experiment or machine responsible? Yes. Does He hold man responsible? Yes.
See the wisdom?
I have just shown you one reason why God calls the WISDOM of this world,
STUPIDITY!
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness[Greek: stupidity]
with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own

craftiness(I Cor. 3:19).
First, Christendom assumes that Gods creation of humans malfunctioned they
did NOT!
Second, they assume that God is not responsible and does not take responsibility
He DOES!
One unscriptural assumption added to another unscriptural assumption does not
equal a Bible Truth!
Few indeed have ever stopped long enough to consider that just maybe God in
tended for the world to be in the hellish mess that we find it. Not for all eternity, but
for the present, for a period of time, for a great purpose. It just seems so wrong toChristian thought to believe that God would have purposed such an evil and un
happy world. But look at the alternative. Are we to believe that God tried (albeit un
successfully) to make a good creation, but was unaware of its potential to run amok?
And ever since, God must therefore either lack the love for humanity to straighten it
out, or He lacks the power and ability. But either way it disowns Gods sovereignty
and presents us with a God who either CANNOT or WILL NOTSTOP THE IN-
SANITY! They would have us believe that Gods solution to rid the world of sin and
evil is to torture most of humanity in fire for all eternity.
The whole idea is blasphemous. If a carnal-minded human can take responsibil
ity for an invention that malfunctions, I submit, that God is bigger and more re
sponsible than puny man. Be it known to all that God takes full responsibility for
His creation, and absolutely nothing in His creation is malfunctioning. Heres the
proof:
If a thousand Christians were given the assignment to write an essay describing
the world as it was after God completed it, but before man sinned, I am positive that
we would get one thousand essays describing the unbelievable beauty, harmony, andperfection of all creation including man and beast. However, would such essays be
based on the Scriptures? Lets look at a little understood Scripture.
For the creature[and/or creation itself]was MADE subject to
VANITY NOT WILLINGLY, but by reason of Him [thats God]
who HATH SUBJECTED the same in hope. Because the
creature itself also shall bedeliveredfrom the BONDAGE OF
CORRUPTIONinto the glorious liberty of the children of God.
For we know that the WHOLE CREATION groans and travails
INPAINuntil NOW(Rom. 8:20-22)!
Wow! Did you know that Scripture is in the Bible? Have you ever meditated at
-
8/7/2019 The "Lake of Fire" Series Part 2

Part II: The Origin of Satan, Evil, and Sin3
length on its meaning? This one Scripture does much damage to Christian doctrine.
From a strictly carnal-minded approach, this Scripture is devastating. Lets see
what these words entail from StrongsGREEK DICTIONARY OF THE NEW TEST-
AMENT:
VANITY: empty, profitless, vain, transientness [temporary],
depravity [wickedness].
BONDAGE: slavery, subjection, subserviency.
CORRUPTION: shrivel, wither, spoil, ruin, deprave, defile, destroy,
decay, perish.
GROAN: moan, calamity, be in straits, murmur, grief, grudge,
anguish.
TRAVAIL: pangs, to pain together, travail as in birth.
PAIN: anguish, toil for daily subsistence, starving.
The force of these verses in Rom. 8:20-22 is inescapable. It was God HIMSELF
who subjected the whole creation to vanity, and He didnt ask anyones permissionbefore He did it. And it is only GodHimselfwho will deliver the whole creation from
the bondage of corruption, pain, and suffering. Make no mistake about it: God is the
Creator of evil, and He takes full responsibility for thedeliverancefrom the con
sequences of all the evils that have caused the creation to groan and travail in
PAIN until NOW as Paul describes. God takes responsibility for the temporary fail
ures of creation so that He can take all the credit and glory for its successes.
And most of the glory that God will receive is from the glory that He gives to all
mankind.
It was not possible for Satan NOT TO SIN he was created for the express pur
pose of being Gods Adversary, and so, of course, he was a sinner FROM THE BE
GINNING!
It was not possible for Adam and Eve NOT TO SIN they were created for the
express purpose of being molded into the image of God, and so of course, they had
to eat of the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil or they would have
NEVER reached this firstspiritual stepin becoming LIKE GOD (in His IMAGE), a
step of paramount DIVINE REQUISITE:
And the LORD God said, Behold[consider, to perceive, to know, to
understand], the man is BECOME AS ONE OF US[Hebrew for
God iselohiymwhich is the plural ofelowahh, hence us], TO KNOW

GOOD AND EVIL(Gen. 3:22).
Knowing good and evil is one of the most essential requisites in being formed
in the image of God. To truly know both good and evil they HAD to partake of its
source, which was the TREE of the knowledge of good and evil, which then DE
MANDED that they SIN in order to obtain this knowledge. NO OTHER TREE IN
THE GARDEN POSSESSED THIS NEEDED KNOWLEDGE!
And so it was GOD, and none other than GOD, who intended from the beginning
that Satan and man SIN! That does not make God a sinner, for a sin is a mistake,
a missing of the mark, a falling short of the glory of God, and God has NEVER
MADE A MISTAKE OR FALLEN SHORT OF TOTAL PERFECTION! God knew
what He was doing and how things would turn out BEFORE He created ANY
THING!Declaring the end from the beginning(Isa. 46:10). Satan and man
are accountable for their sins, because they sinned willingly from their heart, but
God takes responsibility for their sins, and therefore had already provided them a
Saviour BEFORE the foundation of the world:
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without
blemish and without spot: who verily was FOREORDAINED
BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, but was mani-
fested in these last times for you(I Pet. 1:19-20).
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose
names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb[Christ]
slain from the FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD(Rev. 13:8).
Is anyone so nave and blind as to believe that God had prepared a Lamb, a Sac
rifice, His SON, to be slain for the sins of the world at a time when theologians
would have us believe God didnt even KNOW there was shortly coming such a thingas SIN? God knew; God is smart! It was God who created the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil. It was God who placed it right in the middle of the garden to catch
Eves eye. It was God who made the tree particularly attractive and desirable. It
was God who placed in the humans the desires and passions that would CAUSE
them to partake of the forbidden fruit. It was God who placed Satan the serpent in
the garden to tempt Eve and fill her head with the glories of enlightenment. It was
God who had ALREADY made preparation for their salvation through the slain
Lamb of God.
Only ignorant and foolish theologians would ever charge God of being ignorant of
the conduct and behavior of His own creation. It was not the temptation or decep
tion entering INTO Eve that caused her to sin and bring separation from her Creat
or and God. It was what was already in her that caused her to sin. Proof:
-

Part II: The Origin of Satan, Evil, and Sin5
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulter-
ies, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies (Mat.
15:19).
Notice it:And when the woman saw[in her heart]that the tree
was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eye[in her
heart], and a tree to be desired[in her heart]to make one wise
[an idol of the heart], she took[For out of the heart proceed
thefts]of the fruit thereof, and did eat(Gen. 3:6).
Did you notice that last phrase and did eat? It was not the eating of the
fruit that made her a sinner she had ALREADY sinned by looking, lusting, andfantasizing about her potential wisdom. It was AFTER she sinned that she did
eat.
The good news is that all of our suffering is for a grand purpose and will ulti
mately bring huge rewards. Just two verses before, Paul tells us how God subjected
the whole creation to these many evils and he gives us this comforting thought:
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time[groaning
and travailing in pain together until now Ver. 22]are not worthy to
be compared with the GLORY which shall be revealed in US
(Ver. 18).
Only God is Responsible
I am going to cover considerable Scriptural material in this series that many may
not think directly relates to the Lake of Fire-Second Death. Trust me, it does. It will
be of little value for me to just technically prove from the Scriptures that God doesnot eternally torture anyone in the lake of fire-second death, or anywhere else for
that matter.
In the light of todays spiritual darkness and global apostasy, it is most needful
to understand some basic spiritual truths before launching into a word-for-word ex
planation of the dozen or so verses related to the lake of fire-second death. We will
do that, but before we do, we are going to learn a great deal about God, life, death,
the Scriptures, the purpose for our existence, and the destiny of the whole human
race. All in one paper? Ill try to hit the high spots.
Most Christians have a one-sided and often evil concept of judgment. They think
of it primarily as a negative and horrible thing that wicked people must go through
before being sentenced to some fabled fiery hellhole of torture and eternal damna

tion.
Judgment is not reserved exclusively for the wicked, nor is it a one-sided sen
tence of doom. There are many problems with the orthodox teaching of judgment.
Much emphasis is placed on a few Scriptures taken out of the context of all of Gods
counsel regarding judgment. The subject is too large even for this paper, however, I
will try to present both sides of judgment.
Judgment has both a positive and a negative side. That is judgment itself con
tains both. The result of the two faces of judgment, however, I am happy to report,
will not perpetuate the dual masks of comedy and tragedy for all eternity, but
rather a smiley face for all.
If people could only see that God is not a carnal-minded human as themselves.He is GOD The Great Creator, Sustainer, and Saviour of all GOD! God has a
plan, a procedure, and a purpose for this creation. Precious few have even a basic
understanding of what it is. Nothing in creation is out of control from Gods per
spective. Nothing ever surprises God or catches Him off guard. God does not view
the activity of His creation from His celestial vantage point unaware of what people
will do next. God knows all in advance. God doesnt just know what will happen in
the future, He causes all that will happen in the future. God IS the future. God is
the Alpha and the Omega He IS the beginning; He IS the end, and nothing can be
different from what God says MUST BE.
We have got to get away from the God allows certain things mentality and syn
drome. God CREATES, God DESTROYS, God HEALS, God KILLS, God CAUSES,
God BRINGS ABOUT. God SAVES. God does not allow things that He has not
foreordained to be! This popular doctrine among the religions of the world is utter
unscriptural foolishness. The teaching suggests that man does things that God had
no previous knowledge of, does not approve of, wishes would have never happened,
but nonetheless, He allows them. Certainly He allows them in as much as He
does not disallow them, but this still begs the question as to their true origin. God
is the Creator, not Satan.
For OF Him, and THROUGH Him, and TO Him, are all things:
to Whom be glory for ever. Amen(KJV Rom. 11:36).
Seeing that OUT of Him and THROUGH Him and FOR Him is
all(Concordant Version).
Does this also include EVIL?
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the
west, that there is none beside Me, I am the LORD, and there
is none else. I form the light, and create darkness; I make

peace, AND CREATEEVIL: I the LORD do ALL THESE
THINGS(Isaiah 45:6-7).
There are many many things in life that are very hard to accept and deal with in
our weakened spiritual state. I cannot, after all this time, get the images of the
Twin Towers collapsing on thousands of people, out of my mind. Or maybe even
worse, the men, women and children in the four planes that knew they were
destined to a violent disintegration in fire! I get teary-eyed every time I think of it.
It is extremely traumatic to contemplate. And now another shuttle disaster! One at
the hands of evil terrorists; the other an accident, fate, providence? But what is
gained by trying to take all of these things out of the realm of Gods responsibility?
God and God only has the ability-to-respond. Man is not running Gods creation,God is. How can any doubt it?
We all have our own personal financial, health, social, mental, and spiritual tri
als in addition to thousands of other problems in our home, community, state, na
tion and world which can easily overwhelm us if we are not well grounded. Do we
think all these things just invented themselves and brought themselves into exist
ence? I tell you No; these are all the design of an all-wise God.
People freely admit that God knows every sparrow that falls, the individual
names of one hundred billion billion stars, and the number of hairs on five and onehalf billion peoples head at any given second of the day, but that He is, nonetheless,
just not concerned with the smaller details of your life.
Fate of the Shuttle Victims
Lets reflect for a moment on the Space Shuttle. It was heart-wrenching to say the
least in realizing that there were seven astronauts in that shuttle which we all
watched dozens of times from different videos tracking its re-entry. Some of them onboard were professed Christians. But for sure one, Col. Ilan Ramon, was a Jew who
did not profess Jesus as His Saviour. So when the rubber hits the road, where does
Christian doctrine stand on Col. Ramons eternal destiny?
Did not all of Israel show extreme remorse over their fallen Son and Hero? Yes
they did I saw them myself! Did peoples from all around the world show remorse
for his death? Yes they did. Did people all over America show remorse and profound
sorrow over his death (along with the others, of course)? Yes, we all saw it on nation
al TV. Did you show remorse for this Jewish Astronaut who gave his life in serviceto his country? I am sure you did. And I can testify to the fact that I certainly did
and still do. Regardless of his religious affiliation, was not Col. Ramon a brave,
smart, loving, astronaut and family man? Now then, what about God? Does God love
Col. Ramon as much as his family, friends and country did? What happens to fine

young Jewish men like Col. Ramon when they die without accepting Jesus Christ as
their Lord and Saviour? According to Christian theology, where is Col. Ramon now
that he is dead? You will now see some of the reasons why I breathe and why I write
these papers.
A Famous Theologians View of the Gospel
Christendom teaches that when a person dies in his sins, without repenting or ac
cepting Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour, that person is then doomed to the
damnation of the fires of hell for all eternity! And it matters not whether that per
son was a loving husband, a loving father, or a fearless hero for his nation. Accord
ing to this immutable Christian doctrine of eternal torment, Col. Ramon is rightnow burning and suffering unspeakable torture in the fires of some eternal hell.
Why? Because he was Jewish and not Christian by religion, thats why. Would these
Christian theologians and preachers get on international television and tell their
audiences that since Col. Ramon was Jewish that he is now burning in the fires of
an eternal hell, and that God will never, ever let him out or ever show the slightest
mercy on him? Not in a million years. Does anyone believe that the words hypo
crite and coward are inappropriate here?
Let me give you a few quotations regarding the gospel from world famouspreacher, teacher, author, and theologian, Dr. James Kennedy. Allitalicsare Dr.
Kennedys.
This is the light of Christ. It is the light of grace, and it is not incum
bent upon God to extend it to everyone. Let us make it very clear that
it is not incumbent upon God to extend it toanyone.
Therefore, the light of Christ is not extended to everyone
And thus we see the exclusivity of the Gospel
But because God extends it [the light of Christ] to some does not
mean He must extend it to any other.
He [God] doesnt have to be gracious or merciful to any guilty
sinner
So the idea that Godowesto everyone some offer of mercy is totally
foreign from [to?] the Bible.
The great Charles Spurgeon said that the amazing thing is not that

Part II: The Origin of Satan, Evil, and Sin9
everybody isnt saved; the amazing thing is thatanybodyis saved.
Heavenly Father, I pray that your Spirit will give us a clear vision of
the plight of the lost those who are on their way to eternal perdition,
to damnation forever.
The above quotations are from a Sermon by James Kennedy, A.B., M.Div.,
M.Th., D.D., D.Sac.Lit., PhD., Litt.D., D.Sac.Theol., D.Humane Let., entitled:What
About Those Who Have Never Heard?Without a doubt, this is the most blasphemous
and evil sermon I have ever heard in my 62-year life! But are we not learning that
even these bad sermons that blaspheme Gods character, are also Gods intention?
His greatest enemies and adversaries always included the shepherd, the Scribes,the priests, and those inimitable religious leaders in every era The Pharisees!
I thought that it was fitting and a nice gesture of our President to state that al
though the astronauts did not make it back to earth, his prayer was that they are
ALL SAFELY HOME! He is of the Christian faith, but he did not assign Col. Ra
mon to the fires of hell for his Jewish non-Christian faith. I believe there are many
Christians that wouldnt touch the despicable doctrines of a James Kennedy with a
ten foot pole. Its true, they are safely home. They are all in Gods keeping. They are
all asleep (there are dozens of Scriptures that say that the dead are sleeping until
resurrection) awaiting the resurrection of the dead.
And those that were not believers will be judged. That judging will involve the
lake of fire which is the second death. But does that mean that Col. Ramon and any
other nonbelievers will be tortured for all eternity? Remember that fateful day when
all of our hearts went out to Col. Ramons and his six companions? Remember how
that NASA and our whole nation would have done ANYTHING at ANY expense if
we could have saved them? Remember how you felt? But the big question to answer
now is how will GOD feel when Col. Ramon stands before the judgment seat of
Christ?
Will God hate Col. Ramon for being deceived and not accepting Christ as his Sa
viour? Will God teach Col. Ramon His truths so that he too can know the Truth (Je
sus) and be set free? Or will He throw Col. Ramon (along with ALL his Jewish fam
ily members and the WHOLE NATION of Jesus rejecting Jews) into a lake of fire
that will torture their flesh with steel-melting fire for all eternity? Do the high
priests of Christendom really have Scriptures that contradict the hundred or so
Scriptures I have quoted in this present paper? Is there a single Scripture in the en
tirety of the Bible that actually says God will torture anyone for all eternity? There
is NO such Scripture and NO such thought. You will all see the proof before this
series is finished.
The fate of Col. Ramon according to the teaching of Christendom is inescapable.

10The Lake of Fire Series
Since he rejected Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour, he is right now this minute
screaming his guts out in the fires of hell in agonizing pain and terror fare worse
than the horrors of his space shuttle breaking up and burning in re-entry into the
earths atmosphere! That, my dear readers, is what their teaching demands. WillCol. Ramon go from burning up in reentry, to burning in hell until judgment, and
then be transferred to the lake of fire to burn for all eternity? Is this mercys des
tiny? This is unscriptural insanity.
I am not out of touch with the realities of real life. I would be happy to swap war
stories with any of you. I know that there are many things in life that are hard, and
painful, and difficult to endure. Why are these things here, who is responsible, and
where will it all end? There is a way to understand these things from Gods per
spective. He has not left us in the dark as to the source, meaning, and purpose of allthe evil in the world today even though things are often difficult to emotionally and
spiritually accept.
I do not hesitate to add however, that there are also many wonderful and beauti
ful and loving things in the world as well. I trust most of us dont have too much
trouble dealing with the beautiful and loving side of life. It is the painful side of our
human experience that is sometimes difficult to believe has a reasonable purpose
for its existence. Even our Lord, who was involved in the creation of all things (Col.
1:15-20), and knew the purpose of all things (Eph. 1:11), and knew that He was tobe the Savior of all mankind (I Tim. 2:4), and the Saviour of all creation from vanity,
slavery, and corruption (Rom. 8:21), nonetheless, when seeing Jerusalem headed for
utter destruction because of rejecting Him and His gospel, He WEPT over it (Luke
19:41)! God has pity on weak and foolish humanity, whom He Himself has created
that way.
Either God Himself is the Creator of good and evil and all that is and will bring
about a total healing, restoration, and perfection of all there is, or, God is not the
Creator of good and evil and all that is, and therefore is not responsible for the messthe world is in today which supposedly will end with most of humanity going to hell
in a hand basket to suffer insanely suffer for ALL ETERNITY! All Scripture and
sanity itself tells us the former is the Truth. Christendom and insanity tells us that
the latter is the truth.
Did God Create an Unpredictable World?
Here is one of the most profound Scriptural Truths that you will ever learn. GOD is
the originator and Creator of the entire universe and everything that is in it! GOD
is responsible for the entire universe and everything that is in it! And to say other
wise is both unscriptural and foolishness.
Why there is evil and tragedy in the world;
-
8/7/2019 The "Lake of Fire" Series Part 2
13/34
Part II: The Origin of Satan, Evil, and Sin11
Why people do evil things to other people;
Why the innocent must suffer at the hands of the wicked;
Why people are born with debilitating defects;
Why the whole world lies in spiritual darkness and paganism;
Why billions live and die without ever hearing the name of Jesus
Christ their Creator and Saviour;
Why men are often tortured by providence and nature itself which operates completely and independently apart fromanyman.
When we understand these things we will understand the lake of fire and second
death, and a thousand other things that happen in our lives today as well as in the
lives of all humanity since Mother Eve!
Three Possible Answers
1. ACCORDING TO ATHEISTS: The human race is the by-product of a blind,
unintelligent, accidental, evolutionary process started billions of years ago
by a humongous cosmic BIG BANG. Therefore NO HIGHER POWER is re
sponsible for anything. If anyone believes this, then the Scripture speaks to
YOU when it says:
The FOOL has said in his heart, There IS NO God (Psalm 53:1).
2. ACCORDING TO CHRISTENDOM: The human race and angelic messen
gers are the perfect creation of an all-wise, all-powerful, all-knowing, unde
ceivable, untrickable, unfoolable, intelligent, and loving GOD. Thats the
good news. Heres the bad: Gods first and most perfect specimen created
out of the combined intelligence, power and wisdom of a perfect God, was a
great spirit archangel they call, Lucifer. (Incidentally and Scripturally, Lu
cifer was never a proper noun or name foranyone)!
The Christian teaching is that before God ever created the first man, this
perfect archangel whom Christians call Lucifer,went bad! He was perfect
but he turned bad! He turned into a bad angel (excuse me,archangel). DidGodcreatehim to turn bad? No. Did God know that hewouldturn bad? No.
Did God wish that hehadntturned bad? Yes. But was there anything God
coulddoabout it? No. Why did Gods first and greatest creation to that
time,malfunction?How can a PERFECT creation by a PERFECT Creator

malfunction?Houston WE HAVE A PROBLEM! God doesnt have a
problem; Christendom has a problem. And it is the BIGGEST single prob
lem in all Christendom! It is huge. It is this very Satanic LIE that has giv
en birth to the most evil doctrines on the face of the earth in the history ofthe world!
According to this Christian theory [hypothesis], the very first thing that
The Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Creator God made, not only
malfunctioned, but turned into a DAMNABLE, DIABOLICAL DEVIL! This
devil has ever since, relentlessly wreaked havoc on every facet of Gods cre
ation which will consummate with a lake of fire that will continue to in
sanely torture most of the human race for all eternity! Salvation is pictured
as Gods nearly vain attempt to salvage but a few from the grasp of this colossal cosmic experiment gone amok! Gods Spiritual Frankenstein Monster
has turned on Him and His children. And it has already been predeter
mined that Satan will be the final Victor when all the marbles are counted.
Not a pretty picture. This is the god that the world of paganism is supposed
to put their eternal confidence in! A god who cannot or will not protect his
own children from this cosmic wolf in sheeps clothing. (Small g intended).
And you think I am too hard on the doctrines of Christendom? You have no
idea.
Hence it is Satan that is supposedly responsible for introducing evil into
the world. Satan supposedly chose to disobey God and therefore we also
must choose, on our own, by our own power, as to whether we will follow
and obey Satan; or follow and obey God. This is the Christian position on
this matter of good and evil.
3. ACCORDING TO GOD AND THE SCRIPTURES: Dont get me wrong,
Christendom did not originate this theological problem (Satan did); they
merely continue to parrot the original author. Satan LIES! Yes he does. Heis a LIAR, and the FATHER of lies and he has ALWAYS been that way
since his CREATION (John 8:44). Satan was NOT Lucifer (a supposed
perfect archangel) from the beginning; Satan was Satan from the begin
ning. Satan is an EVIL creature. He has been an evil creature from his
very creation. Satan is not the result of a Godly experiment gone wrong!
Satan is functioning PERFECTLY as Gods adversary. Satan is essential to
the purpose and salvation of the whole human race. That is why God cre
ated him in the first place.
Whence Satan the Devil?
According to Christendom, Satan created himself. He was supposedly a perfect
-

Part II: The Origin of Satan, Evil, and Sin13
archangel and then CHANGED HIMSELF INTO A DEVIL. Is this Scripturally
true? Who created Satan?
1.You are of your FATHER the DEVIL [the GREAT DRAGON, OLD SER
PENT, the DEVIL, and SATAN {Hebrew forAdversary I Pet. 5:8} Rev.
12:9], and the lusts of your father ye will do He was a murderer
FROM THE BEGINNING, and abode not in the truth[from the begin
ning], because there is no truth in him [from the beginning]. When he
speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar[from the begin
ning], and the father[the beginner]of it(John 8:44).
2. Now the SERPENT was more subtle than any beast of the field
which the LORD GOD hadMADE(Gen. 3:1) God made this serpent which TALKED with Eve as an articulate, intelligent, creature. Satan
did not possess this serpent of the field, Satan was this serpent! Satan
doesnt possess snakes! Satan himself was CREATED A SERPENT. Even
Paul acknowledges that it was the SERPENT that deluded Eve, and not
some other creature possessing a snake (II Cor. 11:3).
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between
THY SEED and her seed, it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt
bruise his heel(Gen. 3:15).
This serpent that shall bruise the heel of Eves seed (singular seed
Christ) is clearly Satan the Devil who also has seed, thy seed. Jesus said,
You are of your father the Devil?(John 8:44). Satan the Devil has
seed; he is a father: a father has children and followers of like nature.
No literal snake ever produced a seed that bruised the heel of Jesus.
Snakes do not eat dust but Satan dines on mankindBe sober, be vigil-
ant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour[Greek: (lit. or fig.) gulp entirely,
swallow up] I Pet. 5:8). And he seeks to devour mankind who are dust of
the earth (for dust thou art.Gen. 3:19).
3. By HIS SPIRIT He hath garnished the heavens; his HAND has
FORMED THE CROOKED SERPENT(Job 26:13). God garnished the
heavens by His SPIRIT, because they are a thing of great glory, beauty, and
splendor. But the crooked SERPENT God formed by His hand at ARMS
LENGTH. Thus indicating it was something necessary, but not of His
HEART AND SPIRIT! Satan is called the crooked serpent. This word
crooked comes from a Hebrew word that is not translated crooked any
where else in the Bible. The word in Hebrew isbariach,and it means afu-
gitive, Strongs#1281. And fugitive is from the Hebrew wordnuwa,
Strongs#5128, among its several meanings are: to [go] up and down, and

to and fro, and to sift. Remember that God names things according to
what theyareand what theydo:
(A) And the LORD[is this a high enough authority for everyone?]Said
unto SATAN[not a heretofore archangel], Whence comest thou? Then
Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going TO AND FRO in
the earth, and from walking UP AND DOWN in it(Job. 1:7 and 2:2).
It is the crooked [fugitive] SERPENT SATAN who goes TO AND FRO
and UP AND DOWN in the earth! God created Satan for this purpose.
(B) And the LORD said[is this a high enough authority for everyone?],
Simon, Simon, behold,SATAN[not a heretoforearchangel]hath de-
sired to have you, that he maySIFTyou as wheat(Luke 22:31).
It is the crooked [fugitive] SERPENTSATAN who SIFTS men like
wheat! God created Satan for this purpose.
4. Behold, I have created the smith[thats me]that blows the coals in
the fire, and that brings forth an instrument for His work, and I
have CREATED THE WASTER TO DESTROY(Isaiah 54:16).
[waster Hebrew:shachath,decay, ruin, batter, cast off, corrupt, destroy,
lose, mar, perish, spill spoil UTTERLY WASTE, #7843, p. 115,Strongs
Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary].
God created the WASTER, not the archangel who later supposedly be
came Satan, but from theBEGINNING God said He created The
WASTER and He created him TODESTROY Now then, WHOS role is it
to destroy the flesh of man so that the spirit may be saved?
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered to-
gether, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, Todeliver such an one UNTOSATANfor DESTRUCTION of the flesh,
that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus(I Cor. 5:4-
5).
It is SATAN who was created from his very beginning to be the WASTER
to DESTROY mens flesh (carnal mindedness) so that they learn not to
blaspheme (I Tim. 1:20). Satan started with Adam and Eve and he isnt fin
ished YET!
5. And no marvel[Gk: to wonder with ASTONISHMENT]; for Satan him-
self is transformed[Gk:meta schematizo, transfigure to change the
outward form or appearance, to make GLORIOUS]into anANGEL OF
LIGHT(II Cor. 11:14).

6. I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I
girded you, though you have not known me: That they may know
from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there none be-
side Me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light,
and create darkness: I make peace, AND CREATEEVIL: I the
LORD do ALL[even the creation of evil and even the creation of Satan]
THESE THINGS(Isaiah 45:5-7).
Satan is evil, God created evil, God CREATED SATAN!
7. He that commits sin is of the DEVIL[Gk: Adversary, Satan]for the
Devil SINS FROM THEBEGINNING. For this purpose the Son of
God was manifested, that He might destroy the WORKS of the Dev-il(I John 3:8). So was it AFTER a supposed Lucifer archangel meta
morphosed into Satan that he sinned, or did Satan the Adversary sin from
the BEGINNING?
Can the high priests of Christendom ever get anything Scripturally correct?
They cite Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 (I will write a paper on these two chapters in the
near future) as proof that Satan was once a perfect and glorious archangel.
They claim that a PERFECT AND GLORIOUS LIGHT-BRINGING
ARCHANGEL CHANGED HIMSELF INTO SATAN THE DEVIL, whereas we just
read in the divine, inspired, infallible Word of God thatcontrariwise, it is SATAN
THE DEVIL WHO HAS TRANSFORMED HIMSELF INTOA PERFECT AND
GLORIOUS ANGEL OF LIGHT! The Scriptures teach the diametric opposite from
what Christendom is teaching. But it is mandatory that they teach this lie, because
it is mandatory that they deny every Scripture that says GOD CREATED EVIL or
EVIL CREATURES! It doesnt fit their theology. They must find a way that allows
God to torture billions of people in fire without being evil Himself or even respons
ible for doing so. The origin of sin and evil must be placed on the creature ratherthan the Creator. This way the creature is responsible for everything and the Creat
or is responsible for nothing!
And so it is stated that men CHOOSE to go into the lake of fire and suffer etern
al pain, and Gods hands are tied by a doctrine that Satan has planted into the
hearts of all men everywhere. An idol of the heart of such magnitude that men will
DIE to preserve it. Deceived humanity has perceived this idol to be of the greatest
value of anything that can ever reside in the heart of man including the Holy Spirit
of God!
And just what is it, specifically, that gave this fictitious archangel the ability to
metamorphose himself into a devil? Which thing also then permits God to torture
humanity eternally in fire, without it being His fault? Which thing also empowers

man with the ability to thwart the VERY WILL OF GOD ALMIGHTY?
The Illusion of Free WillHere it is, the magical source of mans imagined deity. It is, of course, HUMAN
FREEWILL. Or, as in the case with Satan, SATANICFREEWILL. And just
what is human and satanic free will? It is a fictitious power that Satan and all hu
mans imagine they have, which gives them the power to make choices that have NO
CAUSE. Do not mistake what I have said. Choice is not the power to MAKE choices.
We all have that power. Choice is a power of the brain, mind, and spirit. It is a logic
al functioning mechanism. Even a sophisticated computer can make choices based
on other data at its disposal contained in its memories. But making choices is not I repeat is NOT, judging, determining or selecting something BASED ONNOTH-
ING!!!
The first edict of the physical universe is CAUSE AND EFFECT. There cannot
be an effect anywhere in the universe, on earth, in a laboratory under strict con
trols, or in the mind of a human being that does not have ACAUSE! It is axiomatic!
It is not debatable! It is a LAW OF GOD! And therefore, the most lawless of all law
less conceptions possible is that man can make choices and decisions that are NOT
BROUGHT INTO EXISTENCE BY EITHER INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL CAUSESAND FORCES!!! It is, in fact, an attempt at nihilism of the very laws of physics.
And so theologians, philosophers and the worlds greatest wisdom thinkers would
have us believe that free will is a power even greater than God Himself, seeing that
even God does not think things, or create things from NOTHING! God does NOT op
erate the universe by decisions based on nothing and therefore having no cause.
In Whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predes-
tinated according to the purpose of Him who works[Greek: is
operating]ALL things after[after what? His free will?] Afterthe COUNSEL of His own will(Eph. 1:11)!
Nor does God create things out of NOTHING:
IN[Greek is in not by]Him[Christ]is ALL CREATED, that in
the heavens and that on the earth(Col. 1:16).
For OUT[the Greek is out not of]of Him and THROUGH Him
and FOR[Greek is for not to]is ALL(Rom. 11:36).
So creation is IN Christ, but OUT of God. Not, out of nothing. The universe
consists of the things of Gods already eternally existing SELF. God is SPIRIT (John
4:24). And what is matter but invisible spiritual power and energy?

Part II: The Origin of Satan, Evil, and Sin17
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by
the word of God, so that THINGS which are seen[physical mat
ter]were not made of things[were they then made of nothing? NO]
which DO APPEAR(Heb. 11:3).
There it is. God made everything out of things that DO NOT APPEAR [invisible
things] not out of things that do appear [physical things], and this is because GOD
HIMSELF IS INVISIBLE!
Now to the King of the eons, the incorruptible, INVISIBLE,
only, and wise God(I Tim. 1:17).
God follows His own spiritual laws. Free will sounds like a marvelous and ma
gical thing it is rather, however, the god of stupidity. It is the height of mans fool
ishness and human wisdom. It is both ungodly and unscriptural! It is an affront to
the Sovereignty of God. Man and Satan arenotdeities that can operate independ
ently of the Creator! The theory is a hoax, a farce, a sham. Its only reality is as an
IDOL OF THE HEART which will be burned out of every son whom God scourges.
Of course all theologians are quick to point out that man does not possesstotal
free will. Mans will is obviouslylimitedwe are told. Oh really? So it is limited free
will that Satan and all humans possess is it? Does no one ever bother to question
the contradictions of Christian doctrine?
limited,a.restricted,Websters Twentieth Century Dictionary,page
963.
free,a,without restriction,Websters Twentieth Century dictionary
page,page 682.
Does everyone know the meaning of the word contradiction?Only Satan could
convince otherwise intelligent people that they have a limited restricted, free
withoutrestriction will. For sure man has a will, however, it is anything but
FREE!
For it isGODwhich works in you both toWILLand toDOof
His good pleasure(Phil. 2:13).
To will requires a work of GOD! We all choose as we choose because there arethings and forces and situations by the millions beyond anyones control that
CAUSE US TO CHOOSE AS WE DO! It matters not that you cannot see or feel the
cause. It is there and it does its work on you. And when causes make you choose,
then that particular choice could not have ever been otherwise. God is the great

CAUSE of all there is. I know Christians by the hundreds of millions deny it and
deny Gods Word that teaches it. That unbelief and lack of faith, however, does not
change the facts of Gods Word or the laws of physics.
That God creates good and peace, there is no question. That:
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and
cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no vari-
ableness, neither shadow of turning(James. 1:17),
There is also no question about it among Christians. That God is the creator of
evil and preordained the sin of Adam, however, is believed by virtually no one.
And so it is that neither man nor Satan can do anything contrary to the inten
tion of God. God has a will that includes a final destiny of total perfection of His
whole creation. God has set man and Satan (his very name means adversary)
AGAINST HIS OWN WILL for a period of time. But during this period when every
one goes against Gods will, God INTENDS them to do so. And when God no longer
intends for there to be any more adversaries or enemies opposing Him or His will,
He will remove all such opposition (See I Cor. 15:21-28). ALL OF GODS WILL,
WILL THEN BE DONE!
Therefore it should come as no shock to us when we learn that even the destruction and crucifixion of His own Son was Gods INTENTION from before He even cre
ated the world:
The Kings of the earth stood up, and the Rulers were gathered together
against the LORD, and against HIS CHRIST.
For of a truth against Thy Holy Child JESUS Whom THOU
[God the Father]hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate,
with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel[God anointed themALL for this purpose], were gathered together, For to do whatso-
ever THY HAND[the very HAND OF GOD], AND thy counsel[God
works ALL according to His counsel Eph. 1:11]determined BE-
FORE[God predestinated His Sons crucifixion before the foundation
of the world Rev. 13:8]to be done(Acts 4:26-28).
And so we see that ultimately, behind the scenes, it was really God the Father
who planned and brought about the Crucifixion of His Own Son! We are allaccount-
ablefor the death of His Son, because He died on OUR BEHALF and for OUR SINS
which we voluntarily sinned, but it is God Himself who is RESPONSIBLE for His
Sons Death. And God takes responsibility. And He takes responsibility for
EVERYTHING that happens in His creation and universe! Therefore God will bring

all things back to restoration and perfection. It is so sad that this grand truth is so
violently opposed by the enemies of the Cross.
There are three Scriptural reasons for this evil doctrine of eternal torture in a
lake of fire:
1. The heart[of carnal unconverted mankind]is DECEITFUL ABOVE
ALL THINGS, and DESPERATELY WICKED: who can know it(Jer.
17:9).
2. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the
Devil, and Satan, which DECEIVES THE WHOLE WORLD(Rev.
12:9).
3. Because the carnal[natural]mind is enmity against God; for it is
not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be(Rom. 8:7).
The inconsonant, incongruous, inconsistent teachings of Christendom are bewil
dering. All my life I have heard that God hates SIN, not the SINNER. Why then, ac
cording to Christendom, doesnt God save the sinner and abolish the sin? Wasnt
that the purpose of God in the first place? Behold the Lamb of God, which takes
[Greek: is taking] away the SIN OF THE WORLD (John 1:29). And He is the pro
pitiation [to be favorably inclined to the sinner because of the sacrifice for him
merciful] for OUR sins: and not for ours only, but also THE SINS OF THE WHOLE
WORLD (I John 2:2). As Christ died for the sake of all sinners and paid the penalty
for all the sins of the whole world, why does Christendom teach that these same sin
ners for which Christ died, must still be tortured for eternity?
Now dont all e-mail me at once, telling me that they go to hell in a hand basket
because they DID NOTREPENTOF THEIR SINS for which Christ died. It is con
cluded by modern religious theory that most of humanity have DIED IN THEIR
SINS, neither having repented nor accepted Christ as their Lord and Saviour. And
this is their simple (albeit totally unscriptural) answer as to why most of the human
race will be tortured in a hellhole of fire for all eternity! For they know not the
Scriptures, nor the Plan of God, nor the Wisdom of God, nor the Power of God, nor
the Sensibility of God, nor the LOVE OF GOD.
I know that many people think I am too hard on Christian heresy. Thats be
cause I love them. Would you not show a little hard tough love to your children if
they were taking mind-destroying DRUGS? Well it is my opinion that Christian her
esies are mind-destroying drugs as well. This ministry is a love/hate ministry love
for all Gods creatures and hate for all the spiritual mind-destroying heretical drugs
out there on the streets and on the air waves around the world.

al torture will vanish like the dew in the morning Sun. I believe there will be some
who will already come to know the truth about the lake of fire-second death long be
fore we ever get to chapters 20 and 21 of Revelation. Before we get there I want to
teach you a few things about God and His love for humanity.
Never Forget the Lords Prayer
I am now going to give you a Scripture to ponder while you read the remaining in
stallments of this paper. A Scripture that most clergymen avoid like the plague. A
Scripture that even if they quote it, they will notexplainit. A Scripture that de
bunks the heresy that a sin against an infinite God demands infinite punishment. A
Scripture that should shut the mouths of all those who continually condemn me forever suggesting that God will eventually save all sinners, even the Hitlers and
Bundys of the world. A Scripture that proves God loves sinners even while they are
yet sinners. A Scripture that proves one doesnt have to prove himself worthy of
Gods love before God gives His love. A Scripture that proves God knows in advance
that He will save the very worst of sinners and indeed ALL sinners long before they
ever even think of repenting.
First we have to find the worlds worst sinners no, even worse than you. Check
these out:

SON(Mat. 27:24)

And they[same multitudesas 21:19]allsay

sus Christ whom(Acts 4:10) you crucify
Then answeredallthe people His blood be
onUS(Mat. 27:25) crucify Him
Andthey[everyone you, me, all of us, (Mat. 27:35) CRUCIFIED HIM
Now then, are you ready for the Scripture? Are these cruel murderers of the very
Son of God evil enough to be counted the worst of the worst sinners who have ever
drawn breath? Even more evil than Ted Bundy?
First, does anyone doubt that God the Father ALWAYS heard Christs prayers?
Father, I thank thee that Thou HAST HEARD me. And I knew that thou
HEAREST MEALWAYS(John 11:41-42). Okay then, heres the Scripture:
And when they were come to the place which is called Cal-
vary, there they[everyone you, me, the WHOLE WORLD]CRU-
CIFIED HIM
But before our Saviour died, He prayed this prayer:
FATHER FORGIVE THEM for they know not what they
do(Luke 23:33-34).
Meditate on that verse for a few hours or years! My prayer is that not one per
son reading this paper will ever forget this verse and Christs prayer for the forgive

22The Lake of Fire Series
ness of the worlds worst of the worst sinners, before any of them even thought to re
pent.
Now if any of you, in your holier-than-thou self-righteousness, feel that you had
no part in the death of your own Saviour, who died for you and your sins, you will
still have to contend with the fact that God honored Christs prayer by forgiving
those who did, literally, crucify Him, before they ever repented or accepted Him as
their Lord and Saviour. Do you think that just maybe our Lord knows something
about the future judgment of these, as of yet unrepentant murderers, that is not
taught in Christendom today?
FORGIVE THEM, for they know not what they do.Was this just a bene
volent gesture on Christs part that has no real meaning? Do we believe that Jesus
God and Father turned His back on this prayer? Will God answer THE LORDS
PRAYER? Dont the theological giants of Christendom have Scriptures written in
figurative, metaphorical, and spiritual symbolism, that if ignorantly taught to be lit
eral, will contradict our Lords prayer? If it is not possible for God to forgive sinners
before they repent, then our Lords prayer is doomed. It was then a prayer in vain.
Jesus prayed in vain. His Father never heard Him. Doesnt it just grind on your
spirit to even hear such stupid and unscriptural conjectures?
Millions of times a week people around the world repeat what they believe to be
The Lords Prayer (Mat. 6:10-13). Matt. 6 is not the Lords prayer. He didnt
pray that prayer. It was a very short outline of what we are to pray for. But this
verse in Luke 23:34, really is, The Lords Prayer! Jesus really DID PRAY
THIS PRAYER! Unlike the hypocritical Pharisees, Jesus did not make a habit of
praying in public. He commanded us to pray in the private closet of our hearts. Oth
er than blessing the bread when feeding the multitudes, Christ seldom prayed in
public. But hanging in total agony on that Passover cross, He prayed in public. He
prayed for the whole world to hear. And that is because His prayer was not for Him
self, but for the whole world!
I will make a wager right here and now that the figurative symbols and meta
phors in Revelation are obviously not to be taken literally, but that our Lords Pray
er in Luke 23:34 IS to be taken literally. Do I have any takers?
Forgive THEMThere is no mistaking who the them are in this prayer.
World famous preacher John Hagee teaches the world that the Jews did not cru
cify Jesus, but rather the Romans did. Is that who the them is in our Lords Pray
er? The ROMANS? Give me a break. Maybe thats why Christians everywhere believe that had they been in Jerusalem on that fateful Passover nearly two thousand
years ago, they would have never consented to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ! Peter
too thought that he would never deny his Lord (Mat. 26:34).

Part II: The Origin of Satan, Evil, and Sin23
Since Christendom refuses to do it, I will now show you the real meaning of The
Lords Prayer.
Who is Accountable for the Crucifixion of Jesus?
True, the Romans did crucify Christ, but so did the Jews, so did you, so did I, and so
did John Hagee as well, and I will now Scripturally prove it.
For he is NOT a Jew, which is one outwardly, neither is that
circumcision, which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew,
which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of theheart, in
thespiritand not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but
of God(Rom. 2:28-29).
For WE ARE THE CIRCUMCISION, which worship God in the
spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in
the flesh(Phil. 3:3).
Who are the true circumcision which then becomes the True Jew? Paul says
we. As soon as we know who the we is, we will also know who is the them. Paul
was writing to the Phillipians, who lived in Phillipi, a Gentile city in N-central
Macedonia. So these Phillipian converts were both Gentiles, and true Jews (we
[Phillipian Gentiles] are the circumcision Phil. 3:3, which are the true inward Jew
Rom. 2:28-29, the true Israel of God Gal. 6:16).
Now then, let us see the plain Scriptural truth as to who the them are that Je
sus asked His Father to forgive. For whomever the Fatherforgiveswill certainly
not be tortured in an eternal hellhole of fire.
In Acts 3:6-8 Peter asks Christ to heal a man. The whole city was privy to thismiracle. Peter speaks to the crowd:
Ye MEN OF ISRAEL[thats us, WE are the Israel of God the
True Jew] Jesus, Whom ye[thats US]delivered up, and
DENIED [along with Peter]Him For ye[thats US again]
DENIED the Holy One and Just, and desired a murderer to be
granted unto you; and KILLED the Prince of life And now,
brethren, I am aware that through IGNORANCE[for they know
NOT what they do]ye did it, as did your rulers The priests,and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees Annas the
high priest, and Ciaphas, and John, and Alexander Ye
RULERS of the people, and ELDERS of Israel Be it known
unto YOU ALL, and to ALL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, that by

the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom YE
CRUCIFIED
Why did the HEATHEN rage, and the PEOPLE imagine vain things? The
KINGS OF THE EARTH stood up, and the RULERS [see I Cor. 2:8] were gathered
together AGAINST the Lord, and AGAINST His Christ
For of a truth AGAINST thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast
anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate,WITH THE GEN-
TILES[thats US, ALL NATIONS]and the PEOPLE OF ISRAEL
[thats also US], were gathered together, For to do whatsoever
Thy hand and Thy counsel determined before to be done[CRU-
CIFY HIM](Acts 3:12-4:28).
Sorry, but John Hagees Romans only theory has just bit the dust. So again:
Who crucified our Lord and Saviour? And who is it that are to be forgiven because
they know not what they do?YOU ALL, ALL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL,
THE HEATHEN, THE PEOPLE, THE KINGS OF THE EARTH, THE
RULERS, and HEROD, PONTIUS PILATE, WITH THE GENTILES!!! Do
you still think your name is left out of this list somehow?
The whole world is accountable for crucifying their Saviour Jesus Christ. But as
it was done in ignorance (for they know not what they do), the whole world will be
forgiven. So what do these things have to do with the lake of fire? Everything! I am
trying to show you the mind of God. This is the way God thinks, and feels, and for
gives, and LOVES! Since you havent learned these things in Sunday School, or
Wednesday night Bible Study, or Sunday sermons, or even theological seminary, I
am showing you them now. Weigh Gods Words very carefully.
The worst sin ever committed by the worst sinners in the history of the universe,
was the cruel beating and crucifixion of Jesus Christ the Perfect Man and Son of
God! Does anyone really believe that Ted Bundys crimes were worse than Crucify
ing the Son of God? Did the men immediately responsible (ultimately Ive shown
that we ALL were responsible) for His crucifixion show any remorse or repentance
except Judas? Yet, Jesus Christ asked God toforgive themat the very time that
they showed no remorse whatsoever.
Will the Father HEAR these words and ANSWER these words of Christs
prayer? Are these just the sentimental words of Jesus that will not be heard or
answered by a HARSH God in Heaven? Just Whose words are these, anyway?
Where did these words of Jesus forgive them really come from?
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the FATHER
IN ME? TheWORDSthat I speak unto you I speak NOT OF MY-

Part II: The Origin of Satan, Evil, and Sin25
SELF; but the Father that dwells in Me, HE DOES THE
WORKS(John 14:10).
Or was this doctrine of forgive them for they know not what they do before they
ever repent, a doctrine of Christ that God did not approve of?
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is NOT MINE,
but HIS THAT SENT ME. If any man will do His will, he shall
know of the doctrine, whether it be of GOD, or whether I
speak of myself (John 7:16-17).
Any questions as to WHOSE words these were? It is not only our Lords prayer,
but it is the will of God the Father to forgive them all (US all) for none of them
knows what they do.
My detractors cry out, They do TOO know what they do; they have REJECTED
their Saviour; they deserve to BURN IN THE LAKE OF FIRE FOR EVER! But you
see, God is not like men who DELIGHT in the eternal death and torture of the
wicked.
As I live, saith the Lord God, I have NO pleasure in the death
[including the second death]of the wicked; but that the wickedturn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil
ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?(Ezek. 33:11).
Killing people for their sins is NOT PLEASURABLE FOR GOD! But it is needful
for a season.
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose
under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die a time to
kill, and a time to heal(Ecc. 3:1-3).
God does not delight or take pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that he
TURN from his way and LIVE! But neither Israel (nor the Gentiles) knows how to
turn from their ways. It takes the goodness of God to turn people. I know that
all the billions of free-willers in the world poke fun at such an idea that man of
themselves can do nothing:for without Me ye can do NOTHING (John
15:5). But as for me, I dont believe men anymore; I believe God. Turn, turn, turn
says the Lord God. But how shall Israel turn when they have no such power orability? Will Israel (all Israel) ever turn and be saved and LIVE? Not by anything
they can conjure up in their phantom of free will. Enter GOD:
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant[but the

WORLD is ignorant and deceived God created a special creature to
accomplish this very purpose, Rev. 12:9]of this mystery, lest ye
should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is
happened to Israel, until[remember there are seasons?]The full-
ness of the Gentiles be come in. And so ALL ISRAEL SHALL
BE SAVED[how so, I thought they have to turn from their wicked
ness and sins, who will turn them?]As it is written, There shall
come out of Zion The Deliverer, and shallTURN AWAY UN-
GODLINESS[evil ways Ezek. 33:11]from Jacob[thats Israel]:
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall TAKE AWAY
THEIR SINS(Rom 11:25-27) [it will be pretty hard to torture people
for all eternity for sins that they NO LONGER HAVE!!!]
Am I going too fast for anyone? This is not rocket science. These Scriptures are
easy!
Who is it that turns away ungodliness from Israel? Must sinners really, by
themselves, by their phantom free-will, by their own power, by their own choice, by
the goodness that lies within them (I speak as a fool), by their self-concocted love of
God turn away from ungodliness? Get serious. What is the only thing in the uni
verse that can ever bring a person to repentance? Ill tell you, if you promise tonev-er everforget it!
Or are you despising the riches of His goodness and forbear-
ance and longsuffering; not knowing[heres that ignorance thing
again Satan who DECEIVES the whole world]that the GOOD-
NESS OFGODleads you to REPENTANCE(Rom. 2:4).
Once again we are brought back to the CAUSE OF ALL GOD!
And so, it is the Deliverer (Christ the Lord), not mans free will, which turns
away ungodliness from Israel. Lets continue the thought:
As concerning the gospel, they[Israel]are enemies for your
sakes[the casting away of Israel, Ver. 15]: but as touching the
election[the sure thing that God had predetermined long before
there ever was an Israel]they are BELOVED for the Fathers
sake. For the GIFTS and CALLING OFGOD are without re-
pentance[changing](Vers. 28-29).
Forgive them are the very words and the doctrine of GOD THE FATHER! So
the truth is we have Jesus Christ and God the Father BOTH agreed that FOR
GIVE THEM, for they know not what they doWILL BE ANSWERED, ACCOM-

PLISHED, AND DONE ! Gods words went out of Gods mouth in this prayer for the
whole sinful world to hear, and Gods words do not return to Him VOID (see Isaiah
55:11)!
Are you believing all these Scriptures that I am giving you? Or are you one of
those who thinks he has other Scriptures that contradict all these Scriptures I am
giving? My whole purpose is to point you to Gods Words. When I come to a Scrip
ture that is not properly translated, I will point that out also. So far, I believe, all of
the Scriptures I have presented speak for themselves.
And it is self-evident that these Scriptures contradict a plethora of doctrines be
ing taught by the high priests of Christendom.
Will God somehow change his mind toward this world of sinners which crucifiedHis Son when they are raised at the great white throne to be judged? Forget all the
Scriptures for the moment that some of you just know contradict this prayer. Con
centrate on this prayer, and we will go to the thers later. Right here IS the mind of
God. Right here IS the attitude of forgiveness and love that God has for sinners
the worlds worst sinners! Why does most of the world of Christendom refuse to be
lieve our LORDS PRAYER which really has its origin in the will of the Father? Be
cause it is TOO GOOD! Many will not tolerate a God THIS GOOD!
Is God fickle? Is God all-forgiving one day at the cross, but then CHANGES intoan unforgiving Indian-Giver at the white throne judgment by taking it all back?
I am the LORD, ICHANGE NOT; therefore ye sons of Jacob
[Israel]are NOT CONSUMED(Malachi 3:6).
But He[God]is in ONE MIND, and who can TURN HIM? And
what His soul desires[I Tim. 2:4 & Isa. 46:9-11], EVEN THAT
[whatever He wills or desires]HE DOES(Job 23:13).
Jesus Christ is the SAME yesterday, and today, and for ever
[Greek: for (into) the eons also](Heb. 13:8).
No, God is not fickle: forgiving today; cursing tomorrow. Forgiving the worst sin
ners in the whole while they are yet sinning is the mind, attitude, and love of God!
Any theologian who tries to tell you that there are Scriptures that contradict this
Scripture (whether it be a Scripture on the lake of fire or any other Scripture), is a
liar and a deceiver.Forgive them [even the theologians who deny the Christ whodied for them]for they know not what they do.
And so our Lords Prayer WILL BE DONE! Thank God!

A Few Thoughts Regarding Christendom
Understand that when I use the word Christendom I am making reference toWeb-
sterssecond definition, The world of Christianity. World in the Greek New Testament iskosmosmeaning the system or orderly arrangement of the whole or some
part of human society. And so it is this world or system of doctrines and beliefs pro
mulgated by the clergy and theologians of the institutionalized church that I make
reference to when using this term. I am not making specific reference to individual
members of the Christian church who may or may not hold dear to their hearts all
of the doctrines of mainstream Christendom. It is sadly true that many who profess
Christianity do not know or understand the doctrines of those they follow.
So let it be known that Christendom is made up of dozens of millions of wonderful, sweet, loving and kind people. Many if not most of our neighbors, friends, relat
ives, and immediate family members are professing Christians. And we love them
all! God loves them all! Sadly, however, much of their doctrine and religious beliefs
have no basis whatsoever in the Sacred Scriptures. At times I fear that some might
mistake my total aversion toward unscriptural Christian doctrines as a sign of my
feelings toward those who promulgate these teachings. Nothing could be further
from the truth. If you could look down into my heart, you wouldknowthat I harbor
no ill toward any brother or sister. All will be in Gods Family; All will be purged,
purified, and perfected, so why have any animosity toward any during this process?
We must ALL be processed there is NONE that does good [before God processes
him], no, not ONE (Rom. 3:12).
Much of Christendom is a religious system of beliefs that are both unscriptural
and contradictory at times even evil. Often when I quote a Scripture (even without
commentary), people will say to themselves, Well that cant be. OUR church
teaches something totally different. And so they will reject the words of God and
continue to cling to the traditions of men. For that reason, let me give you just a few
examples of the unscriptural contradictions of traditional Christendom in the hope
that God will open the minds of at least some of my readers. Trust me when I say
that all this information is going to be most helpful in understanding the lake of fire
and the judgments of God.
They Speak with Forked Tongue
Most all Christian theologians would claim to believe the first statement of Scrip
tural Truth that I present below, especially when I cite a Scripture verse with it, butthey will then contradict and refuse to teach the second statement of Truth. Here
are a few examples:
Do they believe the fire in I Cor.3:15 burns mansworks, but not the man

himself? Yes.

man? No.

But do they teach that God created EVIL as He says in (Isa. 45:7)? No.

4:14)? Yes.
But do they teach that Jesus Christ will SAVE the whole world? No.

Yes.
But do they teach the truth therefore that mens souls are mortal and not
immortal? No.
Do they believe that the original manuscripts of Gods Word were inerrant?
Yes.
But do they teach us that the King James translation, which they say is
inerrant has gone through THOUSANDS of error corrections since 1611?
No.
Do they believe that the soul that sins shall DIE (Ezek. 18:4)? Yes.
But do they teach that souls of deceased sinners are actually DEAD? No.
Do they believe there are many cults today that need exposing? Yes.
But do they teach that Christendom, by its OWN definitions, is also a cult?
No.
Do they believe that Sodom is suffering the vengeance of eternal [aeonian]
fire? Yes.
But do they teach that Sodom will be restored to their former estate (Ezek.
16:55)? No.
Do they believe in a future resurrection of dead people back to life (John
5:29)? Yes.
But do they teach that a resurrection is imperative for dead people to live

Do they believe the many Scriptures that liken death to sleep? Yes.
But do they teach that dead people are unconscious, sleeping till resurrec
tion? No.
Do they believe that the last enemy to be destroyed [Gk: abolished] is
death? Yes.
But do they teach that ALL death, including the second death,willbe abol
ished? No.
Do they believe that all things are possible with God (Mark 10:27)? Yes.
But do they teach that it is possible for God to save non-believers after they
die? No.
Do they believe that every tongue in heaven and earth will confess Jesus as
LORD? Yes.
But do they teach that the Holy Spirit inspires this sincere voluntary act (I
Cor. 12:3)? No.
Do they believe that good and evil are both in the same tree of knowledge?
Yes.
But do they teach that good and evil both come from the same root source?
No.
Do they believe that God absolutely knows all (I John 3:20)? Yes.
But do they teach that God knows in advance ALL who will reject Christ?
No.
Do they believe that Gods love will never fail (I Cor. 13:8)? Yes.
But do they teach that Gods love will never fail in saving the world He
loves? No.
Do they believe the apostles spoke in foreign languages in Acts 2:4-11? Yes.
But do they teach that of the hundreds of thousands who claim to speak in
tongues today, not one of them can speak in multiple languages which they
did not already study? No.
Do they believe that the masses did not understand Christs parables (Mat.
13:13)? Yes.
But do they teach that Christ purposely didnt want them to understand,
(Vs. 14-17)? No.
Do they believe the Old Covenant contained the Ten Commandments
(Deut.4:12)? Yes.

32The Lake of Fire Series
But do they teach a New Covenant which contains a much higher law (Heb.
8:8-9)? No.
Do they believe that God created all the spirits and messengers of heaven?
Yes.
But do they teach that God also created Satan who was always His ad
versary? No.
Do they believe that loving our enemies means doing good and not evil to
them? Yes.
But do they teach that God will never subject His enemies to eternal tor
ture and evil? No.
There seems to be no end to the Scriptural contradictions of Christian beliefs.
But we can learn from their mistakes. It is good for us that God makes us dig deep
for the precious gems of His word. It really is like searching for hidden treasure.
And I have never found a hidden treasure in Gods Word that has disappointed me.
Each new discovery brings more appreciation for God and His plan of salvation for
all.
