"Genesis 1:1 says, In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Soon after that, God created man and woman. God placed them in the garden of Eden and gave them a commandment for them to obey. It is in Genesis 2:16&17. "16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 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." Soon after that, Satan as a serpent came to Eve and interpreted the commandment of God to Eve. It is in Genesis 3:1-7. ["1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any 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? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons."] His interpretation was a twist from the truth, and it was a lie; he said that they will not die if they eat the fruit. It is in "4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:" God and Satan have said just the opposite things. God said that they would die if they ate, but Satan said that they surely will not die if they ate. They believed the interpretation of Satan but did not believe the command of God. So, they ate and died in the Spirit, which was eternal. We see this pattern repeatedly, even now. God gives commandments, and Satan gives interpretations through his preachers. People are believing interpretations and are eternally dying. God's word is in the true bible, example KJV. Satan's bibles are twisted, example NIV. Satan uses theologians, preachers, and pastors, from our own churches. We believe them; but we do not believe the word of God.
God gives commandments to people to obey from the beginning. God gives it in their conscience; good people will have good conscience and they will keep the commands of God. "1 John 3:4 says, ... sin is the transgression of the law." So, sin is disobedience to any divine command; or any violation to the will of God, either in purpose or in conduct; or any moral deficiency in character, which is ungodliness. So, we must know the will of God and his commands, to know what sin is. Now, Christians do not know the commands of Jesus Christ since they do not study scriptures; nor preachers teach them, probably even preachers may not know the commands. People decide themselves what sin is and what sin is not. So, in most cases what they do is not sin, but what others do is sin. Christians have the chance to know the will of God from bible also. A true Christian, irrespective of race, nation, country, or such, will obey Jesus Christ. We will do what he tells us to do. But we may sin since we are in the flesh but not in the Spirit. If we do, we must repent for our sins. Matthew 4:17 says, "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." So, if we repent for sins, then we will understand about heaven. "Matthew 8:11 And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." Jesus did not condemn the woman, but he told her to sin no more. In John 5:14 Jesus healed the lame man "and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee." Jesus healed him; and cautions him not to sin anymore. Jesus Christ told sinners not to sin anymore; and so, it is possible for us not to sin. To know more, refer to this link: "List of Sins."
"Deuteronomy 6:25 it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us." That is, righteousness is perceiving and obeying the commands of God. So, if we obey God, then we are righteous. But today's preachers say, if we obey the law of God, it is works and by these works nobody will be saved, and most Christians agree to that. They call this righteousness, which we obtained by obeying God, as filthy rags. Then they argue saying that if we do not sin, then we do not need Christ; and they blame us saying that we are rejecting our Savior Jesus Christ and his sacrifice on the cross, by not committing sin; as if that Jesus died for us to keep committing sins; and as if sinning is honoring Jesus Christ and his sacrifice on the cross. It is ridiculous. The tragedy is that majority of Christians believe this demonic teaching from Satan himself. Accepting this is same as accepting Satan as their God. Jesus says in Matthew 5:20 "I say unto you that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." Probably the righteousness of scribes and Pharisees were filthy rags; and so, Jesus Christ warns his disciples saying that our righteousness must exceed their righteousness. Our righteousness is by obeying God. We must obey God to inherit eternal life in heaven. Jesus Christ tells this in Matthew 13:43 that "Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father." In Matthew 25:46 Jesus Christ says that "the righteous shall go into life eternal." So, obey God to be righteousness, then you will inherit his kingdom. For details refer this link: "Righteousness."
Probably these preachers are in our own churches as pastors and preachers, preaching many well-known clichés to us, and we believe them, mainly because we want to believe them, because sins give us pleasure, and we love sins. But the ridiculous part is that they say, if we obey God, even God considers our obedience as filthy rags; whereas God tells us to obey him. So, it is proof that their God is Satan. But all theologians, preachers, and pastors have joined together, and proclaim their doctrine as truth. It means one thing, that they all are unanimously the servants of Satan. And they give the sinning people courage and comfort to live in their sins with boldness. And they preach the salvation plan of the devil, which will directly take these people to hell and then to the lake of fire. Now let us go to the scripture verses and find what and how they preach.
The entire chapter of Isaiah 64 and 1 Corinthians 2:9-16, explains what God does for those who obey him and to those who commit sins, and the glory of heaven. If we have the holy Spirit in us, we will understand it in the way we should; otherwise, we may know a few glimpses by studying. Isaiah 64 can be divided in two parts. 1-5 are about the glorious power of God and what he has reserved for those who obeys him, that is for who are righteous; and from 5- 12 are about how God treat sinners, and the cry of people for the mercy of God. Preachers of Satan will just pick up 6, isolate it from surrounding verses and make up their own doctrine to preach. It seems that they are very successful, because most Christians follow them. My attempt is not to study entire chapters, but to show how Satan twists scriptures taking verses out of context. So, let us take a few verses.
"Isaiah 64:4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. 5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: ..." These are simple sentences that we all can understand. From the beginning of the world, nobody ever has heard, nor perceived those glorious, marvelous things that God has prepared for them that those are waiting for God and working righteousness. So, if we do righteousness, God is rejoicing to meet us with glorious things, that we cannot comprehend and even imagine. In the new testament also, God repeats the same message, that gives double importance. It is in "1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God." Since these are Spiritual things, only Spiritual people can understand the glory of them, through the Spirit of God. These preachers of Satan, call such glorious things as filthy rags. Next verse Isaiah 64:5 says that "in those is continuance, and we shall be saved." So, if they could have continued in righteousness, they could have received the heavenly glory. "It also says, behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: ...." So, they goofed it up by doing sin. Then comes verse 6; it says, "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." That is, they left the righteousness and they disobeyed God. So, they lost the righteousness, and it has turned into sins, which are as filthy rags. This is the scriptures, and these are not difficult, but easy to understand. Preachers must know this and understand this. Then, why do they twist this to say that the righteousness of people that God has adorned so gloriously as filthy rags, by hiding the fact that they have sinned and that is as the filthy rags. It is because, the Spirit of Satan is in these pastors and preachers. They twist and preach the glorious thing of God as filthy rags. But God is waiting to meet the righteous people in his second coming to honor them with his great heavenly glory. Further, if you are righteous, you are called to be his bride with a high calling. So, a few of you will become the Bride of the Lamb. "Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints." Your righteousness is fine linen, clean and white: but it is not filthy rags. Your righteousness may make you the bride of the Lamb, by the high calling. You may study more from this link: "Filthy Rags."
Romans 3:10 says: "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" Preachers quote this verse and claim that no one that is born in this world, is righteous. That is, we are all sinners because we are born in flesh; and we accept it. As a general statement we may accept this as true, since we are all in flesh, and the desire of the flesh is to sin. But when we study this same statement from scripture as the word of God, we must look at the context and the intent that God has in this verse. So, let us look at its context. "Romans 3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God." Here it refers to the Jews, who has already received the law and the word of God. So, the statement at this point refers only to the Jews, but not to gentiles, that is, it does not refer to the entire world. "3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?" So, even among Jews, it refers only those who do not believe the law. "4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written," So, the context refers only to the Jews who have received the laws yet did not believe them. But these preachers slap it on the entire world, which include you and me. It is not an accidental lie, but it is purposeful deception. They know that there are many God-fearing people in this world. Even though they are in the flesh, they obey the commands of God, in the level of their calling, according to what is given to them. So, the context refers to the unbelieving Jews only. From verse 9, it includes the Gentiles also. Many gentiles also have unbelieving heart.
Then the worst criminals of the world are described in verses 10-20, and these preachers pick up verse 10 and slap it on the God loving obedient righteous Christians calling them not righteous; and the rest of the Christians also join them to say amen to them. It is so sad and tragic. This deception is on purpose. Please listen to these verses, and you will find that these descriptions are for ungodly criminals, but not to you and me. Let us read: "10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes." In the context, verse 10 gives the description of filthy criminals, but not of an average Christian. So, if you are an average Christian, it does not belong to you. Do not fall for the trap of false preachers. If you fall, they will lead you to false salvation of Satan. It will take you straight to hell and you will end up in the lake of fire. Your preachers and Satan will also be there, and be punished with you.
We just saw how preachers are twisting Romans 3, "There is none righteous, no, not one:" to justify the sins of Christians. Next verse they pick up is from Romans 7. "
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin." Apostle Paul teaches this. But they produce this as proof that Paul was committing sin in flesh, possibly sexual sin. It is strange that even though they say that apostle Paul has committed sin, they do not accuse him; but they teach that it is an acceptable way of life according to God, because even an apostle was living a lifestyle with sins. But it is a filthy lie of Satan. Their logic is that if Paul can live such a sinful life and be an apostle, we can also live such a sinful life and be godly. It is accepting perversion, and this is a very tricky argument of the devil. He is still the same serpent in the garden of Eden, now deceiving us.In the entire third chapter in the epistle of Philippians, apostle Paul writes about himself. It is too long for me to teach in this segment; so, please read the chapter, and let me take just a few verses. "Philippians 3:5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless." So, Paul was born as a Jew, and he was sinless. This is his testimony. In Romans chapters 6,7, &8 apostle Paul was teaching the word of God. In 7, he teaches as if he was a newly converted gentile, and the predicament that he will have to go through as a newly converted gentile. But we know that he was a born Jew, and he lived a holy life by Jewish law. Servants of Satan pull a few verses from the seventh chapter and say that it is the testimony apostle Paul and preach lies of Satan. But it was his teaching illustration, but not his testimony. In "1 Corinthians 11:1 Paul says be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." Paul followed Jesus Christ. His appeal to us is to follow Jesus Christ as he followed him. But these false preachers of Satan twist his teaching as his testimony, calling him as a sinner, and encourage Christians to live a life of sin.
Romans 7:24&25 is not an isolated piece of scripture, but it is part of the epistle, and part of his teaching illustrations. So, we must study it with its context. Chapter 7 is between 6&8. The last portion of Romans 6 says, "22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life." It says, we must be free from sinning, serving God, with proof of holiness, and then only we will have eternal life. This is just before chapter 7; let us see just after 7. "Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." It says, we must walk in Christ and in the Spirit, but not walk after the flesh, in order to escape condemnation. So, just before and after chapter 7, the messages are to be freed from sin. So, it does not make sense to say that Paul was a sinner, and he was accommodating sins in chapter 7. In 7:1-6 Paul gives an example that a married woman's husband dies; she can marry another man. So also, he tells the gentiles to be free from sin, which is in the similitude of the first husband, and then only they can serve God in the Spirit, which is in the similitude of the second husband. Paul emphasizes that they and we, must die to sin in order to serve God in the Spirit. It is in the same chapter 7. How can this man be living as a wretched sinner? They know that it was an illustration for teaching. Here Paul teaches verses 9-11, "9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me." But Paul's testimony is in Philippians 3, also check in the book of Acts. Paul was a Jew, but in these verses he presented himself as a newly converted gentile, who did not even know the law, and it was illustration for teaching. In life, Paul was blameless Jew according to the law.
I gave a few examples of scriptures here to show how the servants of Satan twist scriptures to pervert the truth. Do not think that these preachers are out in the woods somewhere. But they are in our own churches; and they are our own pastors and preachers. If you hear such sermons, reject not only the preaching, but also the preachers, since they are the servants of the devil, even though they appear to be godly. If you cannot get rid of the preachers, get out of the church. It is far better to go to heaven, than keeping the membership in a church. Heaven is a beautiful place.
Bill Gaither gave a song presentation under the title; how beautiful heaven will be; the program is about more than an hour. Most of the lyrics were ignorant statements, but the music was beautiful, it was southern gospel, and was good entertainment. If the music with ignorant false description of heaven is just beautiful, how beautiful the true real heaven will be! My website has a section for the topic "Hell and Heavens." If you click on that, you will see many topics like; Escape hell and inherit heaven; Going to paradise is easier than going to hell; Different levels in heaven and in hell; New heavens, new Jerusalem, Bride; and a few more interesting topics. You may look into them and see the beauty of heaven. Let me give a little glimpse: Hell is a place of agony; so, first thing is to escape hell; so, do not fall for the deceptions of preachers and of religions, including Christianity. Follow your good conscience and good bible like KJV, but not deceptive bibles like NIV. In heaven, you will be in the Spirit body with glory, but not the flesh body. The first level is that of a child in heaven; it is Paradise, it is also called new earth, which is the garden of God. There, you will enjoy living waters, river, and fruit trees. Your glory will be as white snow. You will enjoy nothing but pleasure and joy there. The second level is as the servant of God, which is above the child; it is the tabernacle of God in new earth; and the presence of God will be in the temple as he was in the old testament temple with his manifestations. The next level will be Sons of God; only those who have attained perfection will be the Sons of God. They will look like or resemble as the same as Jesus Christ in glory; will shine as bright as the sun of the sky. There are a few new heavens; the Sons will have access to all of them. They will be going to heaven to heaven and will enjoy the beauty of the creation of God in the space of the entire universe. They will be going to suns, moons, and stars, observing the meticulous splendors of them. The heavenly Sion is the house of God. Bride of the Lamb is the highest level in heaven, and they are above the Sons of God. They are the ones who can go to the house of God, which is Sion, and they will live there; and they will always be with Jesus Christ and God with the ultimate uttermost joy. You will get the status or levels in heaven, according to, or in proportion to, your works. "
Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." It is the grand finale statement of Jesus Christ in the bible, and he signed his name as he is the beginning and the end, he is God.

Matthew 28:20, & Mark 16:15. Jesus Christ preached his commandments to obey, as his
Gospel; it is the true Gospel to inherit Eternal life. Genesis 3:1-4 & 2 Corinth 11:2-4. But Preachers, who are Serpents of Satan, preach the life of man Jesus just to believe, but not to live as a chaste virgin, as the gospel; it is another gospel, which cannot and will not give Eternal life.The true gospel will convert evil people to do good and thereby they will inherit the kingdom in heaven.
John 3:19-21 say that people are two kinds, evil and true. Evil doers will not come to the Light, who is God; but people of truth come to God for their deeds to be made manifest. We have good and evil people by our standard of our society or culture. These evil people may be converted to be doers of truth by the power of God, and they may inherit the kingdom of God in heaven.
