Those Other Angels

There is a conspiracy out there. There is only one. There is an adversary who opposes God and all God represents. The enemy is the author of deception, by which he has taken over the inheritance of God's children. (We battle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12) The Bible tells us to be wary of being misled by the the wicked one, who seeks to ensnare us by wonderful lies and lure us away from the safety of Christ, our only Savior. (And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:14) We are warned not to let the gospel be changed so as to eviscerate the heart of the what saves us. (But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.Galatians 1:8) The Bible is quite clear that the scriptures end with the book of Revelations. (For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Revelations 22:18-19)

What is the main thrust of the lie that Satan tells? The main symptom of demonic deception is the elimination of the Lordship of Jesus Christ, either by denying who Christ is, or by elevating man to the status of godhood. The lie creates the illusion of a level playing field.(For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus. I Timothy 2:5,6)
