Why Satan Doesn't Win.

 

If Satan Manipulated the [New Testament]™ Why Doesn't He Win?
If you've ever heard someone say: I'm only doing my job, you probably already know why.

A Sabbath keeping 'Christian' sent us a tape asking various questions and the following question is one of them:

Why does Satan not win in the [New Testament]™? If Satan deceived us on the [New Testament]™, its writers, or if he inspired it, why does he still con the churches today, with false doctrine? Since he already has them conned on so many items why does he bother with the churches of today; conning them and deceiving them about Sunday as the Sabbath, and so on, yet he does not win in the [New Testament]™? We are asking that question.

If Satan had anything to do with the production of the [New Testament]™ why is he the loser in the end?" The question is a valid one and deserves an answer because the answer is vital to any discussion of the Hebrew Scriptures (OT) or even a discussion of the [New Testament]™. In order to understand we must understand two facts;

1) Satan does not win in the Hebrew Scriptures.

2) The Mighty One of Israel, the ETERNAL CREATOR of the universe, did NOT inspire the Septuagint and the Codex Vaticanus translations.

Satan Does Not Win In The Hebrew Scriptures.

Going to the Hebrew Scriptures: to see what the Mighty One has to say about Satan's position in His inspired scriptures:

(Genesis 3:1)[1] (MEV) Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the ETERNAL CREATOR[2] had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Has the ETERNAL said, You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?

The English word "subtle" is from the Hebrew word[3] "'aruwm" and means cunning, crafty, subtle (usually in a bad sense). Compare the wording in another translation:

(Genesis 3:1)[4] (AMP) Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the ETERNAL CREATOR had made. And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, Can it really be that the CREATOR has said, You shall not eat from any tree of the garden?

Satan is, of all the created beings, is the shrewdest, sharpest, subtle, and it is in a bad sense. I want you to note that in the Hebrew Scriptures, Satan DOES NOT win and it is immaterial which version you use. In addition, he has a problem in that he hates what CREATOR is doing. His chief goal is to take over the throne of the Mighty One. To see Satan's goal fully illustrated:

(Isaiah 14:12-18) (KJV) ¹²How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! ¹³For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: ¹⁴I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. ¹⁵Yet thou [Satan] shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. ¹⁶They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; ¹⁷That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? ¹⁸All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

(Isaiah 14:24) (KJV) The SOVEREIGN of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

What the ETERNAL is telling us is that at one time Satan said in his heart that he would go up to Heaven and he would exalt himself above the throne of the Mighty One. He said he would sit upon the mount of the Congregation of the tribes of the North, in other words he said that he would overthrow the Righteous One of Israel. It would be the first coup d'etat in the Universe, in that he would overthrow the government, take over control, and run the government from then on. However, he did not have the power, he was not able to pull it off, and he was cast back to the earth. Let us go to Ezekiel:

(Ezekiel 28:11-12) (KJV) ¹¹Moreover the word of the ETERNAL came unto me, saying, ¹²Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the ETERNAL SOVEREIGN; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

From that, you would think the mentioned king of Tyre is a human being, but as we go through this you will see that the text is not talking about a human being, it is referring to a spirit being. Moreover, that spirit being is the one that was called Lucifer in (Isaiah 14:12):

(Ezekiel 28:12-13) (KJV) ¹²Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the ETERNAL SOVEREIGN; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. ¹³Thou hast been in Eden the garden of the ETERNAL; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

Immediately, we can see that statement excludes any man, because no human being lived through the Flood up until this time. Obviously, this passage refers to Satan. To continue:

(Ezekiel 28:13) (NKJV) You were in Eden, the garden of the CREATOR; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day you were created.

This obviously illustrates that Satan has the ability to make music, and if you listen to the radio you can hear a lot that sounds like he produced it. However, since this is not a commentary on music, let us get back to where we were:

(Ezekiel 28:14-19) (NKJV) ¹⁴You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you. You were on the consecrated mountain of CREATOR. You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. ¹⁵You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till iniquity was found in you. ¹⁶By the abundance of your trading, you became filled with violence within, and you sinned. Therefore, I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of CREATOR and I destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones. ¹⁷Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I laid you before kings, that they might gaze at you. ¹⁸You defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities, by the iniquity of your trading. Therefore, I brought fire from your midst. It devoured you and I turned you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all who saw you. ¹⁹All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you, you have become a horror and shall be no more forever.'

(Ezekiel 28:19) (Tanakh) All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Notice verse nineteen as it states that Satan has a time limit on the length of his existence. The ETERNAL's statement is a direct contradiction of Jude 13 which referring to Satan and his demons states, "Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever." If Satan inspired the [New Testament]™ why would he state this? Simple, he wants humans to think that he will live forever. The plain statement of (Ezekiel 28:19) is verified by at least different ten translations.[5] Satan finds himself in the position of having a limited existence so he will not bother human beings anymore forever. He will not be in their mists, as he was the time in Job when The Mighty One called His angels before His throne and asked, "Where have you been, Satan?" Satan replied that he had been walking up and down in the earth.

The point, here, is that Satan does not win in the Hebrew Scriptures. You must keep this in mind, it is very important, because Satan also knows from experience that he can not win. He already tried it, and he could not do it. He cannot overpower the ETERNAL CREATOR, The Mighty One of Israel, he tried and he failed.

He knows that the Hebrew Scriptures show that he cannot win. He knows that CREATOR says that Satan is the craftiest, most subtle of all His creatures. He is smart enough to know that he cannot inspire a book that categorically contradicts the Hebrew Scriptures or people would see right through it. That is, unless, it is a small statement that people usually read right over because they have been conditioned to think that all spirit beings will live forever.

Satan could not come out and say in the [New Testament]™ that he overthrows the ETERNAL, because we just saw in the Hebrew Scripture that he could not do it, he tried it and he failed. Therefore, he knows that if he inspires a book he must be more subtle, more crafty, and cunning. It can have inconsistencies and it can be so muddled that different groups arrive at different doctrines from its pages. It can be written so that people can prove most anything out of its pages. It can even profess a different godhead from the Hebrew Scripture {i.e. a trin~ity (3) or a twin~ity (2) as compared to the individual Being, the One (1) true CREATOR} and he can palm it off as a three-in-one type of polytheism. One thing his book cannot do; it cannot have Satan win. That is a fact established firmly and securely in (Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28).

The Septuagint and the Codex Vaticanus translations.

Satan also knew that to produce conflicts that are supposedly in the Hebrew Scriptures he could not use the Hebrew Masoretic Texts because they was sealed back at the time of Ezra. So, if he was going to have a corrupted Hebrew Scripture, he would have to inspire a translation of his own. To quote from Unger's Bible Dictionary, page 1147:

The Greek Septuagint - The Hebrew Old Testament enjoys the unique distinction of being the first book or rather library of books, known to be translated into another language. This translation is called the Septuagint, and was made in the third and second centuries B.C.

During this period, the entire Hebrew Bible was put into the Greek language. It was in (285-246 B. C.) that the Pentateuch was put into the Greek tongue. Originally the term Septuagint, abbreviated LXX was applied to the Greek Pentateuch [first 5 books]. Uncertainty attaches to the origin of the Septuagint and its beginning is enshrouded in legend. Its alleged seventy-two translators (six from each of the Twelve Tribes) is traditional, the number seventy apparently being an approximation for seventy-two, or the number seventy may have developed as such in the course of tradition.

To repeat Unger's statement: "Uncertainty attaches to the origin of the Septuagint and its beginning is enshrouded in legend." Right away, a problem arises and he confesses later that it is not just the beginning. Unger states that a group of seventy Jewish scholars translated the Torah (Pentateuch, 1st 5 books) during 285-246 (third century) BCE. Then he throws up a smoke screen of an irrelevant controversy about whether there were 70 or 72 scholars:

Its alleged seventy-two translators (six from each of the Twelve Tribes) is traditional, the number seventy apparently being an approximation for seventy-two, or the number seventy may have developed as such in the course of tradition. Note that (Exodus 24:1 and Exodus 24:9) refers to the seventy elders of Israel, and the membership of the Sanhedrin was composed of that number.

Note that Jewish Scholars only translated the Torah (Pentateuch) in the third century BCE, which only began the translation of the Hebrew Scripture into Greek. Unknown Greek translators, translated the rest later. Continuing from Unger's:

"Certainly by the middle of the second century BC the Old Testament was completely rendered in Greek. The name Septuagint was eventually applied to the entire Greek Old Testament.

In the next section, he slips in the word "exegetical" which means "to explain, to interpret, explanation or critical interpretation of a text." Webster states the meaning for "critical" is: "inclined to criticize severely and unfavorably." That statement shows that the "unknown Greek translators of the night" were inspired to have their own agenda of producing a biased document to be used against the original Hebrew Scriptures. Seeing that in Unger's:

"Representing a pre-Masoretic Hebrew text, the Septuagint is accordingly of basic textual and exegetical value. However, in evaluating the Septuagint as a translation many factors must be kept in mind, such as the general purpose and character of the work, the peculiar difficulties which the translators faced, and the general principles which guided them in the performance of their task. Surveying the translation in its entirety, it may be said that it varies in its standard of excellence. The Pentateuch is on the whole a close and serviceable translation. The Psalms, on the other hand, and the Book of Isaiah show obvious signs of incompetence.

The words "shows signs of incompetence" hides the Satan inspired activities of the "translators" in producing a BCE translation in which the soon to appear church in Rome could easily pull misleading or mistranslated verses. Going on:

"Use of the Septuagint in Textual Criticism. Scholars readily admit that the Septuagint cannot be used in a merely mechanical manner to amend the Masoretic text.

Unger is saying here is that you cannot take the Septuagint and match it word for word with the original Hebrew, because it does not match. Then he says:

"Although, it is indispensable in the textual criticism of the Hebrew Old Testament, the varying quality of its translation necessitates judicious caution.

Whoa! Unger readily admits that it is not a word for word translation. However, he tells you that you can go back and judge the "Hebrew Old Testament" by this admittedly corrupt Septuagint. A book, which has an unknown origin, a book enshrouded in legend, a book of much uncertainty, produced by "church Monks," and then they use it to judge the Hebrew Scriptures! Is that audacity or what? Although the LXX does not translate word for word, Unger states that you can use this doctored up book to correct the ancient Hebrew text from which it supposedly originated. Continuing on:

"the varying quality of its translation necessitates judicious caution."

Unger is telling you that you just need to be cautious because they are admitting that it is not an accurate translation. Furthermore, he states:

"Frequently extreme literalism and freedom of rendering occur in the same verse or in close contact. The translators also employ peculiar exegetical principles.

And that my friends is an explanation of a critical interpreting of the text. This means the church's Monks freely interfere, reinterpret, slant, transliterate, or make up text. Back to Unger's:

"Often expressions concerning 'God,' which were looked upon as crude or offensive, were toned down.

Can you believe it, Unger is saying that the Hebrew text, which The Mighty One of Israel inspired, has crude references to Him, so the church's Monks toned it down. Anthropomorphisms are characteristics that would show that the CREATOR would have characteristics such as a human, such as feet, hands, eyes, and mouth e.t.c. Then still referring to the Greek Septuagint, he states: "and anthropomorphisms were frequently deleted".

Those were all deleted, but if you stop and think about it, it seems logical to me that the Mighty One and mankind would be similar since we were made in His image. However, they deleted all of that in the Septuagint. Carrying on with Unger:

"The translators did not mean to change the original, but their exegetical principles display a theological tendency which, however, was not consistently carried out.

Did you grasp that? Unger says the MM boys changed the text but they really did not mean to, but now that they have discovered that the Greek is wrong they are still going to use it to "correct" the ancient Hebrew. That smacks of Orson Well's book "1984" and the use of double-speak. The point is that the Septuagint has been used to criticize the original Hebrew even though Septuagint supposedly was translated from the Hebrew. In addition, it was written in the second century BCE in Greek. The same language that later would be used to write the [New Testament]™. Continuing on:

The Septuagint and Later Greek Versions - By the beginning of the second century AD, reaction against the Septuagint took place in Jewish circles. By this time, 'Christians' had come to venerate the Septuagint as inspired and authoritative, and used it in controversies with the Jews to prove the messiahship of 'Jesus.'

The Mighty One inspired the Hebrew Scriptures. If a book is venerated and contradicts the Hebrew Scripture, guess who inspired it? Satan, you got it. Unger is saying that although the true Hebrew text has nothing in it that would point to the Messiah being the Galilean the Septuagint does. Moreover, the community in Rome had come to believe it over the original Hebrew texts. To continue with Unger's:

"By this time, many mistakes had crept into the Septuagint and the Jews were particularly annoyed by the use of it made by 'Christians'.

"Manuscripts of the Septuagint: [One of] The oldest and most important of the Septuagint manuscripts [is] the [Latin] . . . Codex Vaticanus. This valuable manuscript is the property of the Roman Catholic Church. Dating from the second quarter of the fourth century AD, it [first] came to light in 1481 when it first appeared in the Vatican Library catalogue.

This is too much! Here we find a book that supposedly dates form roughly 325-350 CE yet its first appearance was not until 1481 CE[6]. It must have just laid around on the floor of the Vatican Library for over 1100 years until some church Monk stumbled over it and put in the catalog. The only other alternative is that it was not translated from Greek into Latin until 1481. In concluding, Mr. Unger states:

Vaticanus offers the best text of the Septuagint as a whole for the Old Testament. It contains Theodotian's translation of Daniel.

There you have it; the church's Monks translated Vaticanus from the Greek in 1481, which was in time for the King James boys to use it in 1625. Worse yet, the church of Rome and consequently all the 'Christian' derivatives consider it the best text as a whole for the Old Testament. Moreover, the Vaticanus is used as a venerated document although there is the uncertainty of its origin and its being translated from the Greek Septuagint, which the church in Rome admits, is a doctored up text. Do not forget that Unger stated that it was "inspired." Then ask yourself this question, "If the Vaticanus and the Septuagint contradict the Hebrew Scriptures, then who inspired them."?

Satan knew that in order to get a document that would conflict with the ancient Hebrew Scriptures, he could not use the Masoretic Texts. He had to have translations of his own. The ones that he devised in preparation for the [New Testament]™ were the ones we just read about, the Septuagint and then from it the Vaticanus. In the Septuagint, we have a book that was translated into Greek, the original language of the church in Rome. Later the Greek Septuagint was translated into the Latin Vaticanus and they used in the writing of the [New Testament]™. Also, the origin of the Septuagint is shrouded in mystery, so satan, being the most cunning of all creatures could easily plan ahead as to what transcribing errors had to be entered into the Greek and then into the Latin. The church later blamed the differences on the Jews, claiming that they rewrote the Masoretic texts. As we have just seen in the dictionary, this notion is a complete falsehood.

Now, you would think they could get away with that, but the CREATOR is in charge of everything and He did not let Satan get away with it. The reason the ETERNAL did not let him get away with it is because of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Reading from the book 'The Aid to Bible Understanding', page 1180:

That is not the Masoretic texts as translated by the Septuagint, but that is the Masoretic texts as in the Hebrew or Jewish translation of the Hebrew Scripture. This proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Septuagint is a fake. This scroll shows that the Septuagint was written and inspired by Satan to have a book that he could use to back up the inspiration of the church in Rome in writing the [New Testament]™. That brings up another question. Why is the [New Testament]™ not more specific if it is corrupted?

The Second Question.

"Why does Satan bother with the churches today and why aren't the doctrines of the [New Testament]™ more tailored to the Catholic Church." Question two is not stated here exactly as my friend asked it. However, in answering question two, I will present a similar question that was asked by a Sabbatarian 'Christian' preacher in the United Church of "God" in a sermon given in Covington, Louisiana. Then I will answer both questions together.

"...except this assertion by Darryl Conder there's something we need to think about. First of all, the assertion that the Catholic Church has manipulated the [New Testament]™ is very shaky. Just on the surface, stop and think about what that means, and of what is being implied by that. If they did manipulate, if they did corrupt, if they did this fraudulently, and it was produced by the Catholic Church, as Darryl Condor proposes, why is there not more corruption? I mean, if it were written specifically as a corruption by someone I would expect them to get it at least halfway right. Why is there not more corruption in the [New Testament]™?

"Why does it not include passages that would clearly teach their beliefs and their doctrines? Why does it not include various subjects and statements on various subjects in the [New Testament]™? Why do you not find anything that talks about Heaven after death? Why do you not find anything that talks about going to Hell after death, an ever-burning Hell, why is there no information in the [New Testament]™ about that?

"Why can we not find clear verses in there describing that, why is it that there are no verses in there about observing 'Christmas'? That would be very easy to assert if you are looking at the Gospel and figuring it out, it would be real easy just to slip something in there saying, 'well, here's the birth of 'Christ,' and from this time on 'Christians' everywhere have observed his birthday.' It would be very simple to put it in there, but there's not one word about it anywhere in the [New Testament]™.

"Why is there not anything about observing Easter? It would have been real simple to put a little scripture in there that says, 'well, now we worship the Resurrection.' Why is there nothing in the Scriptures about the immortality of the soul? Why is there nothing in there that says Sunday worship services?

"Why is there nothing in there that says the Trinity is the way 'God' exists. Oh, wait, we know that one did get in there, didn't it. But you know when it got in there? The fourteenth century. 6 Now, if this corruption was taking place all the way from the beginning, from the first or second century AD, why did they wait until the fourteenth century before they tried to put something in?

"It is readily recognized that there is a corruption of certain manuscripts, not all manuscripts have that verse in it. If it was manipulated and corrupted, why is there nothing in it about the Immaculate Conception, that Mary had miraculously conceived why is that not in there?

"Why is there nothing in there about unclean meats being eaten by 'Christians'? The list goes on and on, why do you not find these things?"

What the speaker is saying is that if Satan inspired the [New Testament]™ then why does it not fit exactly all of the Catholic traditions. Why is it a book that a multitude of different denominations can use and why is it not just strictly a Catholic book of Catholic doctrine? A slick argument, however, let us see what Satan's goal is and what he is doing. First, he wanted to overthrow the CREATOR, and he cannot do that. Now his purpose is to influence humanity to sin so that they will have disfavor with their CREATOR. Let us look at some examples:

(Genesis 3:2-5) (BRG) ²And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: ³But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, the CREATOR hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die ⁴And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: ⁵For the CREATOR 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.

We all know the rest of the story, that satan enticed her into eating some of the forbidden fruit and she, in turn, enticed her husband, Adam, to eat of the forbidden fruit. The point here being that Satan's purpose is to cause humanity to sin. He is our overt adversary. He is a covert adversary to YHWH, who keeps Satan on a tight leash (see the 1st chapter of Job). Another example:

(1 Chronicles 21:1) (NKJV) Now, Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.

The problem there is that the CREATOR had told David not to take a census, but Satan enticed David to take the census. The next one:

(Job 1:11) (NIV) But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.

This is Satan talking to the CREATOR, telling Him how he could make Job curse the CREATOR to His face, if the CREATOR would just turn him loose on Job. We know that story, Job had a problem with self-righteousness (which Satan could not see), but Job did not curse the CREATOR. The point is that Satan just kept trying to get Job to sin. Let us look at another:

(Job 9:24) (NABRE) The earth is given into the hands of the wicked; he covers the faces of its judges. If it is not he, who then is it?

Now, that really does not make a lot of sense, something seems to be amiss here, but by reading it in Young's Literal Translation:

(Job 9:24) (YLT) Earth hath been given Into the hand of the wicked one. The face of its judges he covereth, If not -- where, who [is] he?

The point, again, being that Satan is out to cause humanity to sin. His first attempted to overthrow the Mighty One, that failed, so now he is trying to overthrow the CREATOR's children, mankind and so far, he has not been totally able to do it, very close but not all

The Catholic religion is the largest religion on earth by itself. If you combine that with all the Protestant daughters that sprang from the Catholic Church, that includes and makes up the entire Western world with a very few exceptions.

Some of the exceptions being the Eastern religions that have sprung up and been brought to the Western World. I am sure you can think of a few, 'Hare Krishna' for one.

Think of all the conflicting, crazy quilt ideas in the world of 'Christianity'; everything from handling snakes, to not eating fish on Friday, along with all the things that were on the tape as being Catholic doctrines.

I ask you, where did all these people get these ideas? Where did people come up with the ideas of handling snakes? Speaking in tongues? Where did the crazy ideas come from? They came from The [New Testament]™.

How can that be? 'Christianity' can cover everything because they say the Pope is the vicar of "Christ." That means that for all practical purposes, he is the reincarnation of the man from Galilee and has all of the authority that the Galilean supposedly had.

Some exceptions that do not seem to fit the 'Christian' mold are the Worldwide Church of 'God' and all its derivatives, the Seventh Day Adventist Church and all its derivatives, and yet all of these are still 'Christian.' How can that be, they keep the Sabbath and not Sunday? The reason is that they pray "to or through" the god of the [New Testament]™, which is a polytheistic trinity or twinity as compared to monotheistic CREATOR of the universe of the Hebrew Scriptures.

When I say "pray through or to," I mean that they begin or end a prayer using some other god than the one and only CREATOR, The Mighty One of Israel. For example of praying to another god, they will pray directly to any of the trinity/twinity god-head or even pray to Mary since the Pope has enlarged the god-head to a quartet. If they pray through another god they will say, "in the name of (whomever) we pray 'amen.'" [Refer to our Wake Up Call No. 2 on saying the word 'amen."] It is an abomination to YHWH to try to pray to Him in the name of another god. For two examples the [New Testament]™ that require this blasphemy:

(John 16:26) (HCSB) In that day you will ask in My ["Jesus's"] name. I am not telling you that I will make requests to the Father on your behalf.

(James 5:14-15) (HCSB) ¹⁴Is anyone among you sick? He should call for the elders of the church, and they should pray over him after anointing him with olive oil in the name of the Lord ['Jesus']. ¹⁵The prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the 'Lord' ['Jesus'] will restore him to health; if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

An off the subject side note here: In the Hebrew Scriptures to gain forgiveness you repent and confess your sins to the Righteous One of Israel and He will forgive you. In the [New Testament]™, sin must not be a big deal because a person is for given with out even asking. In James 5, quoted above, the elders prayed for the healing of the person and his sins were also forgiven as an extra bonus and another exampleis the theif on the cross.

Remember the ETERNAL CREATOR has commanded us:

(Exodus 20:2-3) (NKJV) ²I am the ETERNAL [Yahweh] your CREATOR, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ³You shall have no other 'gods' before Me.

Think about all these ideas of 'Christianity,' think about the fact that the [New Testament]™ inspires people to begin or end their prayer with the authority of a 'god' other the one true ETERNAL CREATOR. Just think about the [New Testament]™ and how it encourages people to believe that YHWH is not their SOVEREIGN and that He is not the only one, and bingo, you have your answer.

All satan needs to do is get a person "to pray to or through" any other 'god' than the ONE true ETERNAL CREATOR of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the one and only true Righteous One of Israel. If you "to or through" another the Satan has gotten you. He does not care about all the rest, he could care less, if you: handle snakes, roll on the floor as an epileptic fit, speak in a gibberish tongue, or partake in a Eucharist service.

He could care less if you wore a long robe to church, or if you wore nothing at all, as does a new 'Christian' movement in California. He could care less, if you: were prim and proper as you passed the bread and wine, or what day of the week is your day of worship. All he has to do to keep you at odds with the ONE True ETERNAL CREATOR is to have you "pray to or through" a name other than YHWH.

Well, my friend, I have answered your question. Satan can not win against YHWH, the ETERNAL CREATOR. However, he can win against individuals because all he has to do to win is one simple thing; and that is come between you and the Mighty One of Israel. He covers the bases for both "Christians" and Jews.

For 'Christians' all Satan has to do is to get you to pray "to or through" another name. Then, whatever else happens, whatever else you do, whatever doctrines you do keep or do not keep, is completely immaterial from that point on. Therefore, as long as Satan can get you "to pray to or through some other name or being," then he has accomplished his goal. That is all he has to do to win against individual 'Christian.'

On the other hand for Jews, all Satan has to do is to get you to think that he does not exit and thus ignore him; then he can exert his influence and no one is the wiser. If you not believe that he exists then any doctrine or tradition that pops up in the minds of the rabbis or sages "must" be from YHWH since you think that Satan does not exist. Whoever, you obey is who you worship. If you obey the words of men whether written "in other books" or spoken in "traditions," then those men who spoke or wrote the words that you obey are the ones you worship. Therefore, as long as Satan can get you "to obey any words other than the Hebrew Scriptures" then he has accomplished his goal. That is all he has to do to win against individual Jews.

No wonder (Genesis 3:1) states that the serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild beasts that YHWH CREATOR had made. See the article, "Who Am I?"

How Satan wins against individual 'People Of Faith'.

Next, to answer the second question, all the [New Testament]™ has to do is be a jumbled mess, so that anyone can derive anything they want from it. However, keep in mind that Satan's goal is to come between the individual members of the house of Israel and their ETERNAL CREATOR. He does not have to worry about doctrines; handling snakes, Easter, resurrection, or any these other things. All the [New Testament]™ has to do, is to get you "to pray to, or through" the name of a false 'god', as all 'gods' other than YHWH are false 'gods', all the while making you think you are praying to the Mighty One of Israel, YHWH, the true ETERNAL CREATOR. So be careful little ears what you hear, be careful little eyes whose book you read, and be careful little mouth in whose name you pray!

The End Of Satan, And His Followers.

This is what YHWH, the ETERNAL CREATOR and SOVEREIGN of the universe, The Righteous One of Israel, The Mighty One of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, has stated regarding what the final determination of Satan and it's followers will be:

(Ezekiel 28:18-19) (NIV) ¹⁸By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your sanctuaries. So I made a fire come out from you, and it consumed you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching. ¹⁹All the nations who knew you are appalled at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.

(Malachi 4:1-3) (KJV) ¹For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith YHWH of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. ²But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness [David] arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. ³And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith YHWH of hosts.

(Psalm 104:35) (NOG) May sinners vanish from the world. May there no longer be any wicked people. Praise Yahweh, my soul! Halleluyah![7]

[2] I do not use the words "the lord" or "god" and if I use them they are in quotes like " " or ' ', to indicate that these are not my words but belong to someone else. I prefer to use the words the ETERNAL or the letters YHWH and the words CREATOR, The Mighty One, or The Righteous One of Israel respectively.

[5] The ten that I checked were KJV, TLB, NRSB, NIV, Green's Interlinear, The New World Translation, ASV, Tanakh, JPS 1917, Companion Bible, and I got tired of looking. Watch for our up coming article "In the Beginning - Part II" where the subject will be covered in detail.

[6] That date would be just after the Vaticanus was translated from the Greek Septuagint in 1481 CE. What does that suggest to you? It suggests to me that the church in Rome could slip it (1 John 4:7-9) in then, because they had the backing of the now official Latin Vaticanus.

[7] Hallelujah as it is rendered in almost all Bibles, and Biblical writings, is yet another blatant attempt to rub out the name of YHWH, The ETERNAL, by changing the letter Y of Yah [Yahweh], to the letter J of Jah [Jehovah]. Yet when this word is spoken, it is always pronounced 'hal-e-loo'-ya'. The letter J never existed in any language before the English created it in their language. See note #6 above.
