“For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.”
2 Corinthians 11:2
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
Matthew 24:24
Satan’s strategy is often to (1) attack the Person and Work of CHRIST, (2) attack the Person and Work of the HOLY SPIRIT, then (3) bring in a new basis for your Salvation (“another gospel”).
7 Examples of Satan’s lies about Jesus:
1. The Mormons
Jesus is a separate God from God the Father. He was created as a spirit-child by the Father and Mother in Heaven. Lucifer is one of his brothers. His death does not provide full atonement for all sin.
2. 7th-Day Adventists
Jesus was Michael the Archangel; He was exalted to be God’s Son, making Lucifer jealous; He is an example we can living sinlessly; they deny His deity; His sacrifice did not complete the atonement. As part of Christ’s atoning work, He has been conducting an “investigative judgment” in the heavenly sanctuary since 1844. Salvation just started at the cross.
3. Jehovah’s Witnesses
Jesus as Michael the Archangel is a created being. His death provides an opportunity to attain eternal life through obeying God’s laws. Jesus is not coming again, He “returned” invisibly in 1914 in spirit. They offer no assurance of eternal life. They say Christ’s blood is only for the 144,000. Very soon, He and His angels will destroy all non-Jehovah’s Witnesses.
4. Christian Science
Jesus, as material manhood, was not Christ. They deny the virgin birth, and miracles. They have a False view of Atonement. “Man, as God’s idea, is already saved with everlasting salvation.” Jesus was not God, and God can never become man or flesh. He did not suffer and could not suffer for sins. He did not die on the cross. He was not resurrected physically. He will not literally come back.
5. Moonies
Jesus was a perfect man, not God. He was not born of a virgin. His mission was to unite the Jews behind him, find the perfect bride, and begin a perfect family. The mission failed. The Second Coming of Christ is fulfilled in Sun Myung Moon, who is superior to Jesus and will finish Jesus’ mission.
6. Islam
Jesus was not God or the Son of God. His virgin birth is likened to Adam’s creation. He was sinless, a worker of miracles, and one of the most respected prophets sent by Allah. He was not crucified or resurrected. He, not Muhammad, will return to play a special role before the future judgment day, perhaps turning Christians to Islam.
7. New Agers
Jesus is not the one true God. He is not the savior, but a spiritual model and guru, and is now an “ascended master.” He was a New Ager who tapped into divine power in the same way that anyone can. He did not rise physically from the dead, but “rose” into a higher spiritual realm.
There have been at least 37 people since the 1700s that have claimed to be a reincarnation of Jesus, or the Second Coming of Jesus. Men such as: Sun Myung Moon, Jim Jones, Charles Manson, David Koresh, Sergey Torop, and David Shayler.
As Matthew 24:24 says:
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
