Know who created the first “word game,” and when?
ANSWER: Satan. In the Garden of Eden. When speaking to Eve. And every person who has served him, the devil, the god of this fallen world for a season, has been sucked in, deluded by his and his ministers, cunning lies and deception, as they appear like angels of light.
The Temptation and Fall of Man
Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”
Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
Genesis 3:1-5
Satan knows every word in God’s Word. He also knows how to twist and massage keywords to confuse, ensnare, enslave, and capture the hearers of his words. Nothing has changed one bit since Eve’s encounter with the devil. Nothing in human nature or the nature of evil, the nature of Satan since that particular day in the Garden of Eden.
To the present day…
When the pulpits of American and Western churches are filled with the ministers of Satan rather than ministers of the whole, unchangeable, inerrant infallible living and active Word of God Who will consume every false teacher, every liar on earth and those who abided in their words rather than in His Word.
Paul and False Apostles
For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles. Even though I am untrained in speech, yet I am not in knowledge. But we have been thoroughly manifested among you in all things.
Did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge? I robbed other churches, taking wages from them to minister to you. And when I was present with you, and in need, I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself. As the truth of Christ is in me, no one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia. Why? Because I do not love you? God knows!
But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
2 Corinthians 11:5-15
Do not be deceived.
Do not be held captive by the words of the world.
What is in so many churches, among so many professing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ but failing to bear good fruit, failing to faithfully believe and obey placing Jesus above anything and everything of this world are false teachers, a different gospel — the world’s gospel — and not what is of the Lord.
The Great Falling Away.
Seed sown on rock, thistles, and not good fertile ground.
And it’s only going to get worse. A lot worse. A whole lot worse. And then even worse than that.
I’m not a doom-and-gloom guy. I’m the exact opposite. I’m just relaying what I have come to learn and know that is in God’s inerrant infallible unchanging eternal living and active Word.
As everything in and around this world further rots, decays, and stinks everything up?
At the same time individual revival of lukewarm, tepid, comfortable, coasting, I-attend-church-every-Sunday-and-that’s-it [I don’t even ever read the Holy Bible!, Nor do I possess a Biblical worldview!] otherwise occupied professed believers in Jesus the Messiah, will be occurring.
There are more deceivers out there [and in the church you attend] than ever before. There is more unsound, unbiblical false teachers and their teachings than ever before in world history. Satan and his ministers have never paused for a nanosecond since that encounter in the Garden of Eden, while many within God’s people fell asleep, have fallen asleep, remain sleeping, lazy, leaving things up to others.
Pray for the American church. Pray for American and Western church leaders. Pray that the truly sound ones in God’s Word remain steadfast, bold, firm, and growing in spiritual strength and wisdom.
For the times require such.
