-  The  “Hell  is  not  real”  deception  –  The  same
               deception  that  purports  that  Satan  is  not  real  also
               asserts  that  hell  is  not  real.    The  Bible  tells  us  that
               such claims are totally false. CHRIST affirmed that hell
               is  real.  HE  did  this  both  in  his  direct  teachings

               (Mat.5:29)  and  through  his  parables  (Mat.13:42).
               The reality of hell is repeatedly affirmed throughout
               the  Gospels.    In  addition,  the  Book  of  Revelation
               provides  numerous  affirmations  (Rev.19:20,  20:10).
               To  deny  that  hell  exist  not  only  denies  CHRIST  but
               also the certain truth of the Bible.

            -  The  “New  Age”  deception–  A  growing  number  of
               Progressive  thinking  Christians  are  becoming  more
               vocal in rationalizing that old traditional values are no
               longer applicable.  This deceit traces back to denying
               the written WORD of GOD that is given to us in the
               Bible. Those who intently study the Bible will come to
               know the certainty of its Word.  Those who don’t are
               easily deceived.

            -  The  “GOD  is  on  our  side”  deception  –  We  must
               recognize that those who are quick to voice this claim
               often do so with selfish motives of deceit.  How often
               do we hear this claim made by those who blatantly
               disregard  the  sovereignty  of  GOD  over  all  life  and

               over  all  things  of  the  universe?     This  phrase  is  a
               favorite  of  those  who  are  disguising  evil  as  good.
               They  disguise  their  evil  motives  with  a  form  of
               godliness while denying GOD as the only source for
               true authority and power (II Timothy 3:5). When we
               hear  this  phrase,  we  should  be  suspicious.      CHRIST
