Appendix: The Lord vs. Satan: SupCtHeaven;

This is a very long, analytical, and data-heavy webpage; its purpose is to give you hard evidence and testing methodology you yourself can vet or use for proofing. For, if you've read through Parts I-V of the Trial, you've probably come to realise that both God's Script and Satan's are thesauretical, for both scripts constantly play-on-words. So, either grab a thesaurus, or think like one, as you read through this page. Its aim is to present a comprehensive and testable picture of Satan's counter-approach to anything in God's Script, anytime. So, you can take the applications here and evaluate what Satan&Co. are trying to do to you, your periphery, the world. Quickly. It is presumed you already have enough understanding of Scripture that the applications made here will make sense to you, in the manner of one user talking to another user on a technical subject.

This is not some crackpot 'conspiracy' page, so if you like that junk, please go find it. We are supposed to be wise about Satan's schemes and our historical milieu; we are not to go slobbering with the "end-times, brother" crowd (Acts1, 1Thess). Because, We Are Caused To Determine History, not prophecy: as goes the Christian, so goes history, as PartIV explained in excruciating detail. Because, we are in training to be Kings, so we have to learn to read history as it happens, so we don't get on the 'wrong side of history' as did the Church Fathers and the Crusaders. Such was the central theme of Part III's Corollaries, PartIVc and PartIVd; ergo this Appendix.

Spend the most time on Matt4 in Scripture, turning it over and over and over in your head. Think over why those were temptations, What Kind Of Temptations they were. Millions of layers of meaning in there. Yes, millions. Thesauretical thinking is like fractals, and can be as endless.

For, the most concentrated revelation of Satan's Script is in Matthew 4. Obviously, the Lord would be the hardest person to deceive, so Satan's best tactics would be used against Him. Study that passage as if your life depends on it, because it does. Use what follows to see for yourself how Satan works.

Quick note about that passage: the "if You are the Son of God" phrases should properly be translated "SINCE You are the Son of God". [Again, translators fail to translate idiomatically, thus unwittingly mislead the reader.] One thing Satan wasn't tempting the Lord to do, was to doubt His Deity. In fact, Satan's instead acknowledging that Christ is God-Man. In fact, Satan depends on it, in order to tempt Christ's Humanity. Were Christ not God-Man, these wouldn't even BE temptations, for each temptation is a temptation to His Humanity to access His Deity. Duh: you can't tempt someone to do something he can't do. So much for those poor folks who think Christ was only Human during the First Advent.

Why would Satan oppose God? It's a tragic story: one we all would do well to study, since we also run the same risk. Since God the Son made Satan, the latter invariably reflects the Former's characteristics. Therefore, Satan would naturally reflect God's Style and Thinking. So, would take the same approach as God to any subject. It's not blasphemous to say Satan reflects God, even though Satan is completely evil. Why? Well, they differ in one main respect: Satan is smaller. That difference is critical. It accounts for why he is an angel of light, why he has much the same values as His Creator. Most of all, it accounts for why he's completely evil.

Truest and worst evil consists of its nearness to True Good. Thus, the nearness deceives the one near, and those near him. Satan's "nearness" suffers from him having God-designed characteristics "missing" in him, due to his fall. He fell, essentially because he became upset over God's Attribute of Righteousness. Thus Satan spiritually arrested. So, he's missing two key components in his nature which would have truly made him Like the Most High. One of these key components is Righteousness. It's not that Satan has no desire for Righteousness. He ardently wants Righteousness. Problem is, Satan did not grow properly in Righteousness. Let's see why and how, since we too run the same risk.

Righteousness has two opposing facets, not just one. On the one hand,

This is the 'facet' we are all (somewhat) familiar with. A thing must be intrinsically right, and also must be done rightly to a very particular extent, with very particular timing, and in a very particular way. Precision is required by Righteousness: precise item, precise timing, precise execution. "Neither to the right nor to the left."

However, the other, opposing facet is almost unknown to us, even though it stares us in the face every second. It is this second facet which tripped Satan (and us) into arrest:

Obviously, if a building can't withstand an earthquake, its 'righteousness' is too weak. So, just as obviously, this must be a facet of Righteousness. (Sidenote: If you keep analysing these two facets using 1Jn1:9 when necessary, you'll see why salvation must work the way it does; why God must be Triune; and why God can't be described by any 'holy' book other than the Bible. The following paragraphs will be helpful in that analysis, as well.)

Obviously also, since God is Infinite, this Second Facet is the 'other end' of Infinity's Righteousness, the OPPOSITE of the 'top end' facet. So, this Second Facet means Righteousness Must Embrace Everything, However Small. It's the smallness, the pettiness of sin which makes it so offensive. So, "smallness", if excluded from God's approval, would mean Infinity is not Infinity. But "approval" doesn't mean wanting to sin, but rather, wanting to BEAR sin, as a part of Wanting To Bear All Smallness. And not just "bear", either, but EMBRACE. For, whatever Righteousness doesn't hold, is 'outside' it. So, being Infinite Righteousness, nothing can be 'outside' it.

INTEGRITY KEY ==> Moreover, this second facet is foundational. Without a Standard that NOTHING be met, the Standard that EVERYTHING be met is but a sham; therefore all "lows" are decreed essential to, and foundational to, the FIRST facet. It's not that God has to 'prove' Himself. Omniscience already knows He can withstand all. Rather, it's a Justice Issue: a) will God authorize the EXISTENCE of all 'bads'? b) yet, how shall all bads BE authorized unless they are USED to create far GREATER 'goods' than would obtain absent their existence?

Notice how both a) and b) MAKE 'bads' foundational to Good. Moreover, 'bads' are naturally foundational to True Good. Wha???! Well, think: how just is it, for GOD to have the 'Everything' standard, if He Himself doesn't always meet it? And if He Himself is always to meet 'Everything', what standard must He Himself 'obey', to be Himself Righteous? The 'Nothing' standard. Thus, the 'Nothing' standard EXPRESSES the 'Everything' Standard, applied to God Himself: since GOD is foundational to everything, BADS are foundational to God Meeting The Standard, judicially!

Moreover, if alone, the first facet ('Everything') is VULNERABLE to whatever could WITHSTAND it. Even though God is by Nature Inviolable, it is still a justice issue: will God or won't God authorize the existence of what is AGAINST His Standards? We saw a lot about this issue in Part I. Fixes' "..Nature of God" section explains the critical importance of this second ('Nothing') facet in God's Eyes (from the standpoint of the content property of Truth) in more detail than you'll find here.

"Compromised" means two things, in the same pattern as the two facets themselves, with respect to EACH of both facets: 1) unmet, though still Inviolable, inasmuch as Justice didn't do justice to the Standard (by accomplishing the Judicial Propitiation required); 2) met, but only as a sham, if opposition to it is limited in any degree, in any way, in any sphere.

Elaborating on 1): if the Standard that Everything-be-met is not met, then Righteousness is compromised because God didn't ordain the necessary Judicial Propitiation. So God would no longer BE Righteous. If the Standard that NOTHING-be-met is not met, then Righteousness is compromised, etc., for if Righteousness doesn't bear all there is to bear, or 'cheats' by LIMITING what there is to bear, then the Judicial Propitiation for the SECOND facet is not ordained, either.

Elaborating on 2): if Sovereignty pronounces the Everything Standard met ABSENT bads or ABSENT propitiation for bads or ABSENT all the bads there can be, Sovereignty in effect is lying, for Sovereignty didn't allow all of what COULD be met, to actually BE met. Likewise, if Sovereignty pronounces the Nothing Standard met ABSENT bads, etc., Sovereignty would be lying, again. Thus God would not be Righteous, and of course, Righteousness is 100%! compromised. Even if a mere jot or tittle was shaved off ordained Truth.

FOUNDATION OF INTEGRITY KEY ==> Truth is not 'shaved' nor 'short' nor 'arbitrary' in any way. For, were Truth slighted in even the tiniest 'dot', Truth would no longer be true. So a compromise of Truth is a True Cost Holy God (Father, Son, Spirit) is Never Willing To Pay. That's why you have verses like "the Lord loves Justice", and Ps89:14-15, Ps138:2b. If the Truth were not prized above His Own Person, more valuable than Godness itself, there'd be no point to being alive: much less, to being God. Takes one's breath away, to see His Own Attitude toward Truth.

So, had there been no Cross, the Everything-be-met Righteousness Standard is a sham; or, if creation (including hell!) did not fully-and-freely exist, the both Facets are a sham, because then opposition has been limited by Sovereignty. So, had there been no Cross, the Nothing-be-met Righteousness Standard would likewise be a sham; for in that case Righteousness wouldn't be withstanding all.

So now we've seen the power of Truth via what happened on the Cross. But what about the facts? They don't change: bad is still bad, good is still good; so what use was it, to spend all that power, when the facts themselves, never change? For, Truth must include all bads, to be fully truth, to be fully free. [Again, "Fixes" link covers this topic in more detail.] We also know that Righteousness is not fully expressed, if there are bads shaved out of Truth, so to speak. More fundamentally, Righteousness is not fully expressed, if the bads are ever changed.

So, new good facts are added, even as sin was added to Him on the Cross, and His Righteousness was added to us. For, on the Cross, the facts of sins and their judgements, were imputed to Him; nor did those facts ever change. But look: in reply to them, He Thought New Thoughts, and those thoughts were Divinely Good, being Divine Truth cycling in His Soul. So New Good Was Created: hence, we can even exist.

Note also how the facts remain true that only good can make good, and only bad can make bad. Hence, Good Truth makes good out of itself, using the bad as a Justification for so doing. The bad itself, never changes. For, when we ourselves are dead to this life and instead living with Him forever, we ourselves are of course then different -- but now remains. It's past, at that point, but it is never obliterated nor modified in any way. Just as, Christ is still on the Cross, to Omniscience. Always occurring.

NIV Isaiah 54:1 "Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband," says the LORD.

ARA Isaiah 54:1 Canta alegremente, ó estéril, que não deste à luz; exulta com alegre canto e exclama, tu que não tiveste dores de parto; porque mais são os filhos da mulher solitária do que os filhos da casada, diz o SENHOR. [I love the Portuguese play on words between 'sterile'(esteril) and 'star' (estrela, +luz in this verse)! ]

Meaning (in the context of Isa53-55, which likens His Payment to pregnancy -- you can't see that in translations), that the believer, birthed out FROM Him who had no progeny, is His progeny, so like Him, so can also Birth From The Sterile. Via the same process (Isa53:10-12 is explicit about it). Do you see? Divine Good from your own soul can birth from this sterile world, something pleasing God? And propitiating, both Him and you? (Again, Isa53:10-12 is explicit about it: pity no one translates all the original-inspired text!)

Here's yet another layer of Truth to enjoy. Pretend you're God. Truth being ALL, all bads, all good, if the truth about a thing is DEAD, that's BAD. (Dead is bad, to life. God is Life.) Ok, so you're omnipotent, but how does omnipotence make dead, alive, since the truth is, the thing is dead? Shall omnipotence override the Truth, by making the dead, alive? Then Truth isn't Truth, anymore. Ok, but is it Righteous to live with DEAD? No! Shall omnipotence, then, not be used at all, and being God is tantamount to masochism, since the dead has to be lived-with? No! Ok, then: what if, by means of the deadness itself, its own nature not being changed, omnipotence uses whatever is IN that nature to MAKE life? So that the dead becomes alive again, out from its own nature? Wow: that would solve the problem! No gerrymandering of truth, for the truth of the nature of the dead thing is not changed, and in fact the deadness itself becomes not only the Justification for making-alive, but the means!

More: note how, the only 'existence' DEAD has, is the FACT of its being DEAD. But, that fact truly EXISTS. So LIFE, which is also a fact, but also ALIVE, being applied to DEATH, Is One Fact, Going To Another Fact. So, the FACTNESS is a compatibility. The only one, in fact. So, no compromise for one fact to be applied to another fact, especially if there is Justification, and the DEAD fact is also the means of the application!

Do you now see why the Cross is structured as it is? Sins' nature remains what it is; so sins are imputed and judged for what they are; but they ARE imputed and judged INTO a LIVE Person Who Thinks Divinely-Live Thoughts. So now, a BONDING occurs; so now we who are spiritually-dead by nature, who use our volition to say YES (that comes from our nature as humans, the nonmeritorious personhood faculty of belief) -- now, Omnipotence can "answer" that yes with what only Omnipotence can do -- SAVE us. Yet, we ourselves of ourselves from our own nature BELIEVED. Yet, God (Holy Spirit) of Himself, from His Own Nature, made us alive in Christ. No compromise. Better Use Of Power!

That's why Paul is soooo excited in Ephesians 1, talking about the "surpassing greatness of His Superior Power which He put into operation by means of Christ when He raised Him from the DEAD" (Eph 1:19-20, concatenated clauses combined. "put into operation" and "superior power" are corrected translations of Greek words from my pastor.) That's why Paul is soo excited again in Philippians when he says, "that I may know Him and the Power of His Resurrection" (Phili3:10). For, instead of being shackled with either a) living with death, or b) gerrymandering it (i.e., obliterating) -- By Means Of Death, Life Is Produced. Without compromise. Is that a better use of Omnipotence, or what? Is that a greater challenge to Challenge-loving Infinity, or what? Is that a greater Propitiation, Redemption, or what? Isa 54:1! Now do you see why God created as He did? Everywhere we look, life depends on death! Is that the ultimate irony, or what? Death sure 'produces' a lot of 'kiddies'! Heh. No wonder Paul exulted in Corinthians about a seed having to die, to grow! (1 Cor15:36-end chapter.) So a whole bunch of good actually, literally, depends on bad, to exist! Like the "good" of our existence would not BE obtainable, unless FIRST, bad! Is that the ultimate irony, or what?

So what's the Fruit, The Children, The Production Value of this conversion of bad, dead -- to live, good? Well, mathematically, what happens? First, unlike normal math, where a positive divided by a negative yields a negative quotient, you have instead, a positive quotient approaching Infinity. For, we're talking reality, and in math, all real numbers are positive. So, the only positive thing that's in common between bad and dead and live and true, is that.. they are FACTS. So, that lone commonality, is the denominator. So what's the largest number? Well, technically, infinity. So, in number set of infinity, the factual commonality is but one. So, not being able to say really what infinity-1 equals, we'll say (decimal point).bizillion. So, then, the LEVERAGE due to the denominator being only the FACT that bad, dead is made good on, must be a bizillion times. Since the numerator of the quotient is good, but the denominator, (decimal point).bizillion, see how much more good is made from bad, than if it didn't FACTUALLY exist? [infinity-1 becomes a fraction, decimal-point bizillion, because BAD would normally be a negative number. However, since Infinite Good is Applied To Convert it, the BAD itself, being dead, can still only OF itself be one speck above absolute zero; this, because the only positive truth about it, is that it is a FACT. Hence, decimal-point bizillion is the way to express that fact. For, the conversion never changes the attributes of the thing converted, but instead provides a Gateway Via The Fact Of It, for God's Good to be produced.]

Think carefully about the meaning of this Second, Withstand-All facet, the goal of Pleroma (Eph6:13, KJV); for once you understand it, you will no longer regard any annoyance or suffering in your life as anything but a Gift From God. Your body, of course, will always complain. Takes time to get into the habit of associating this Truth with your body's constant blindly sin-nature complaints. They will more constantly be side-by-side, as you grow spiritually. Until you recognize that it's just the stupid body beeping you (and there will always be something to blame or credit), you'll mistake that beeping for the real you, and will have lots of guilt (a sin, requiring 1Jn1:9). So try to recognize it's the stupid body, not you, and remember that all suffering is given for the same reason Christ got it: to get bigger fellowship. With practice, you will get distance from what seems to be you (the old you, at most, see Rom7) beeping all those stupid puny complaints, versus the real you (the new you the HS is making). It's a heaven, just to see the distance!

That's why some of God's greatest gifts don't 'feel good': such as, the Cross. People end up concluding suffering in one of two ways: as a blessing, or as a reason to be bitter the rest of their lives. Suffering will either 'make' you far more appreciative of anything and everything, no matter how small; or, will 'make' you a shrivelled, shellshocked wretch. 'Make', of course, meaning YOU do the making out of it. Not what the suffering itself actually is. Remember the principle of the 'middle' in Part One. It's our orientation to the facts, not the facts themselves, which determine happiness or misery.

See, the spiritual life is, as my pastor likes to put it, "Learn and Live", rather than religion's 'live and learn'. Religion's (Satan's) prescription would have you working absent wisdom, how to think as you are doing; for religion wants you to be a peasanty-slave, doing tricks to please a churlish master. So, you will end up jaded, as inevitably all Christians who don't get into or stick with the spiritual life, do. Bitterness.

Conversely, as will be explained in more detail below, by God's Script, you first learn the first facet of Righteousness via Bible Doctrine (2Tim3:16): what Standards must be met, in God's Eyes. Only then can you live that Standard -- against opposition of your own nature, those around you, the world, things, Satan&Co. Thus (beginning in spiritual adulthood), you learn to develop and thus live in the SECOND facet, withstanding all. Or, as Paul puts it in Eph6 (KJV): "having done all, to STAND." (That's a military phrase, in Greek. Note how Eph6 is cast as a thinking war, not a physical-do's one.)

For, as is explained with even greater clarity in Fixes.htm ("..Nature of God" section) than in Parts I-III, the SECOND facet is exactly the Attitude the Lord had about His Experience of the Cross, both before He went to the Cross, and while ON the Cross, and even now! (See also "tetelestai" and Heb12:1-2 verses in Greek.) Dia Touto (For this reason!) God the Father bade Him HOLD, EMBRACE sin by imputing our sins to Him; God the Father bade Him HOLD, EMBRACE judgement for sin, by imputing Judgement to His Son! For, if Christ had sinned Himself, He wouldn't be able to HOLD, EMBRACE anymore! And He could and did HOLD, EMBRACE everything, because His Love-for-Righteousness DOCKED everything under it! All this HOLDING and EMBRACING was bought by those millions of Love-Deposits of Perfect Bible Doctrine in His Soul! See our Glorious Legacy in Him?

This, this, this, is True Freedom. Thus, the FIRST facet is doubly met: a) because SELF meets it via ('second facet) Withstanding All; b) The Production of self-meeting-the-Everything-Standard means that i) not only is the Standard itself truly invulnerable, but ii) any and all others (things, beings) are finally, freely ENJOYABLE. For, BOTH Standards are met WITHIN the self, not with 'help' from externals. Of course, only God can do this for us. Just as the Holy Spirit did, for the Christ, via those millions of Divine Deposits of Divine Truth: Bible Doctrine. So now when you read Eph1, you'll see better its immense import!

So why, then, must anyone believe in Him? Why punishment, etc. for sin? Why even call it 'sin' to NOT want the Standards, since the Standards must only be met by the Self, since that is how Love-for-Righteousness works? Well, by creating, the second facet (all opposition must be allowed to exist) is met. Thus, in order to allow us the opportunity to choose how much of the Standards we ourselves ALSO want/love, there has to be some Justice mechanism Self fulfills so that choice can be made without compromise (partially or wholly). Which, of course, He did on the Cross. Thus, those who don't ever believe in Him, have fully chosen against the Standards; those who believe in Him but never learned Him after that, want only the de minimis portion; those who reach Pleroma came to fully LOVE the Standards.

See? It's not about sin, it's about loving Righteousness, which results in self-contained Happiness. Inviolate. So, all else (sin included, whether in self or others), becomes 'extra'. Happily. Enjoyably. However low, however high. Just as the Lord told John the Baptist, when the latter objected to baptising Him: "it is fitting, for our benefit, to fulfill All Righteousness." [Matt3:15, corr trans: "to fulfill" is aorist infinitive of plerow, and the "our benefit" is the meaning of the Greek dative case of "we", here. English trans, as always, reverses Grace and makes it look like man can do something for Holy God! Seems like the writer of Heb2:10 and 7:26 allude to this verse. The writer seems to make a bracket out of the keyword "fitting", which in Greek is prepon (prepw is the infinitive): it was fitting He taste death, so it is fitting He be our High Priest kata Melchizedek, not Levite.] Not just some. ALL. Pleroma.

So, all this -- for what? To fund salvation for mankind? Who largely will hate Him so much, they never believe in Him? Who, though He loves them just as much as He loves me and my demons, will, just as we, spend ETERNITY in the Lake of Fire? SO HE SUFFERS MORE THAN ALL OF US PUT TOGETHER???? FOREVER???? ELOHIM SUFFER THE KNOWING PAIN FOREVER, and we all aren't even THERE, yet??? Who, along with the balance of angels who chose Him over me; who of mankind end up largely so disinterested, they only believe-to-be-saved, but never stick with LEARNING Him?

And idou, look! Those who actually DO persist in learning Him to Spiritual Maturity, what is their 'reward', but a USELESS SUFFERING which does NO ONE any good at all, the completion of which is Pleroma, "Fullness of Christ"?? (Clauses in Eph3:19 and 4:13.) 'Which, oh by the way, means that they themselves, like their Lord, must forever be stuck with a bunch of retards, those who didn't want to learn Him down here??? Just like the so-called '24 elders' and 'beasts' in Revelation 4 are stuck with the rank-and-file angels? OH, HAMLET! UPSIDE-DOWN! Is this what being good is good for?? NO!! This is sick!! Yeah, Elohim call all this, 'unconditional love for Righteousness', but look -- it's nothing more than masochism. No gain whatsoever, so everyone is masochistic, sadistic. Oh, gotta pun and satirize all this, warn everyone, Satan says over and over.

That's probably today's version of why he decided, "I will make myself like the Most High." (Isa 14:13-14?) It was a reasoned conclusion, first. It became iconoclasm. See, Satan himself 'wasted' himself by throwing away his status as the Guardian of the Throne. It was a messianic act. He wanted to 'save' the angels from this horrible god he once adored. For, he saw the 'flaw'. And NO price was too high, not even the Lake of Fire forever. For, he saw the 'flaw'; so he was in hell, anyway. How could he remain in the Throne Room, knowing this horrible truth, and do nothing? NOT FAIR! Better to burn forever, fighting for the real truth! So, he rebelled.

He's right, of course. God Himself is making the very same point: everything is useless APART from Love-for-Righteousness. Are not we humans useless by nature? Is there anything we could ever do, sacrifice, which would be of any use to God.. ever? Yet the two facets of Righteousness together make even the sterile, the useless, worth living for, doing. Endless uselessness, endless crosses, then "bears" all, and bears children even from the sterile. Spending oneself on the weak, like Paul explains ("Feed my lambs" command by the Lord in the Gospels; Romans 15:1-6, 2Cor12:7-10, Greek). After all, God deliberately CHOSE the asthenes, the weak (see 1Cor12, whole chapter, esp. vv.19-31) -- for the sake of the aletheia, the truth (lit., the unhidden). For the weak become strong that way. For God is not willing that ANY should perish (2Pet3:9). So the Son became weak in order that we might become strong. Becoming strong, forever dependent on His Power, we ourselves of course remain weak. Love doesn't mind. So Satan's right, of course: love gives, because love loves. "Love never fails" (1Cor13). All else, does.

If you read through all Satan's wryly apoplectic arguments in Scripture, whether in his own voice, or indirectly (i.e., through the kinds of good and evil he sponsors, the way demons treat humans, the deceptions he plays, etc); if you read through all the arguments men make in life about God, you will see this same complaint running through them all: WASTE WASTE WASTE! NOT GOOD NOT FAIR NOT RIGHT! On any day, in any TV program, in any shop, office, home: why are such things allowed to BE? This is why men fight wars. This is why people become crusaders. This is why people become bitter. This is why people commit suicide: like, by flying planes full of innocent people into some skyscrapers. Don Quixotes, all of them. Satan is the most 'noble' of all: wanting to save even God from Himself! ('Evidenced by his offer in the 3rd Temptation: "Matt4: Satan's Script against the Lord" section below will explain).

The unquenchable desire to win over, to be 'special', is the legacy of that forbidden fruit. For, that was the promise Satan made to the woman: oh yeah, baby, you'll be as smart as God, so you won't NEED Him anymore. That same pitch is routinely made to man: oh yeah, you did this good thing, got this revelation, got this ability to speak a language you don't understand, saw this vision; you know this special doctrine, got this ribbon, got that award, raise, new car, pretty/handsome date, etc.

Notice how The Pitch Always Takes A 'Good' And Makes It Praise You. As if that's the purpose of good, to praise you. You, not God. Moreover, as if the only value of good, was to praise you. As if it had no intrinsic value of its own. Then what value is the praise? If Good isn't good UNLESS it praises you, then its praise is worthless. Oh, whoopee, you own all the world and all its people and they fawn all over you. You're gorgeous and every whim you ever have is instantly met, and you can wear or eat anything and never get fat, and everyone is interested in your opinion. But um, they are all inferior to you. What's so fun about that? Ho-hum, then. If, on the other hand, good has intrinsic value, then you don't need praise, since you already have, what's Good. And if good IS of intrinsic value, it has to come from God (="agathos", true Greek meaning); so it's not at all important how good you are, since you get the real good from the Good One. Satan doesn't like to think about all that.

1Cor13 counters the entire pitch: Paul says that even if he knew all the doctrine ("mysteries", "knowledge" in that passage represent supernatural gifts of Doctrine before Canon was completed) -- he'd be NOTHING! without Love. Love doesn't think about self being special: love thinks of the love-object being special. So if even Divine Truth would be worthless apart from Love, what good is being 'special'? No good at all.

Nota bene: God's Plan is For Us To Be A Part Of Him, not apart from Him. We are apart from whatever is incompatible; we are apart from whatever disagrees in our thinking. So of course we are apart, if we need to be 'special', to think well of ourselves, such that all others, and all content, is spun into some kind of self-buttressing. But God separates that alpha-privative negative via replacement with the Son's Thinking. So we become A PART, not apart. All of us. Together. Not apart, but all parts of the Body, knitted together by Doctrine (theme of Eph2-4's Greek). ['Central wordplay theme of 1Cor12-14, which chapters focus on why the Mind of Christ will be 'completed' (1Cor13:10), at which point we will know even as we are known (down here, in this body, due to having that Canon). Greek is wittily clear, given its ribald 'body parts' analogy in Chapter 12, linking up to the relative unimportance of partial knowing gifts in Chapter 13; climax is verse 13:10, when the completed ('perfect' in legal sense) Canon is available to all. Love=Canon, for the latter is the way to get the ability to Divinely Love. See 1John4-5, and Ephesians in this connection. Chapter 14 makes it clear that speaking foreign languages one doesn't know is a gift given only until Israel is destroyed and only for the unbeliever, even during that limited period. How today's tongues crowd can miss that point bewilders me.)

The Second Facet of Righteousness is foundational TO Righteousness, even more than the First Facet, because True Love is UNconditional; whence comes the love to pour out, to never have its own standards, met. Hence in humans, the barriers created by both togetherness and apartness, fundamentally require Love to mediate them. Love doesn't consider togetherness either demeaning or self-buttressing, since Love isn't looking at self and doesn't really need to do so (1Cor13:4ff); nor does Love regard apartness as superior. Insecurity, though, is not love, however much emotions pretend to be love. So insecurity wants togetherness, for safety; and apartness, for the same reason. So insecurity drives human affairs, and since there will always be some external to blame or credit, the insecurity remains safely reproducing its shrinkage on all and sundry. That's Satan's plan, to exploit the natural insecurity which man acquired, at the Fall.

For to Love, the words "I deserve" are anathema, for those words can never be thought or spoken except from a base of hatred. So, 'Ugliest words in any language. Nailed to defeat, at the Cross. Christ is all about Love: to defeat 'deserving', He Took On Humanity and Became a Worm (Ps22:6, quoted on Cross in Gospels). For, He thought like this: Father, only if it's Never Enough Is It Forever Enough; for then and only then, is Love never based on 'deserving'. Phili2:5-10's fulfillment made that thought forever true, for we the saved are forever too small; so God's Love for us is never based on our deserving, and He Never Gets All He Deserves; so we can forever live together, Free From Deserving.

Satan, by contrast, is all about I-deserve, ergo his invention of religion. Played on the woman, played on Adam, played on us. Unceasingly. You do for me, I do for you, and whatever you do for me is of no value, and whatever I do for you is of Total value. So, we hate each other all the time, tyrannizing each other. Oh goody.

So, Satan doesn't understand (and we usually don't, either), that the second facet is the Crowning Gem in God's Glory. It's the Humility of God. Totally breathtaking. It's due to this facet, that freedom can be free. Due to this facet, creation can be made: for even perfect creation, because it is finite, will always be insufferably less than Infinite Righteousness. Which therefore MEETS the Second Facet. So, Love LOVES it.

Absent Love for this opposing facet, then, one is forever in "hell". That's the problem finity faces, which is why growing up in God's Script, enables the impossible: for finity to come to love what it naturally cannot love, zero barriers (Eph3:15-19). Why? Because we naturally need barriers to hold together, so by nature put up barriers: barriers of compatibility, of time, of status, you-name-it. We talk all the time of zero barriers, yet put 10 up for every one we claim to knock down (different social status, different clothing, different everything to scream our insecurity's need to be special). Because we need barriers, we cannot love them. Because we need barriers, we cannot love their absence, either. Because, we cannot love, period. We can only, need. Where need exists, love cannot. Where love exists, need cannot. It's that simple.

Finity's Freedom depends on barriers: that's why communism, socialism, world government, welfare, world religion, etc. -- cannot work, ever. Even in eternity, when perfect, society is unequal and full of barriers, with respect to itself. But those at the top of that society, the Pleroma rulers, have the fewest barriers -- because, they got the most Truth cycling in them, when down here. Then, we will love those barriers. Here, we cannot. Because here, our bodies and our lack of spiritual understanding produce hate, not love. There, we will be integrated with GOD.

Because toward God, there can be no barriers; you'll feel that ever more keenly, too, as you grow spiritually. It will be hell. He is non-barriered, because Infinite; you are barriered, because finite. So whatever you do and think, you become keenly aware of how puny you are compared to Him. So you have to Learn to Love that status of never meeting the First Facet. Which means, loving the Second Facet even more, so you pour out harder; which means yet more keen hurt at not meeting the First, since you can never pour out enough; which means, hell. Along the way, what happens is that the human natural barriers you are under, matter less to you. For, you are being freed from depending on them, since you are now depending on GOD. So in fact, you are meeting the Second Facet, but Love will never say "enough". After some years, you'll see how much the barriers, don't impede you. Then you will see how you're being made truly free. Like God is. Like, not as much as. Like, but loving as.

Doctrine produces Love, Rom5:5 and 1Cor13, 1Jn. In spiritual adulthood, this love begins to be manifest and God becomes the center of your life in fact, not merely by intent. At that point, the believer starts to experience how this second Facet, when loved (progressively, in our case), makes Righteousness self-compensating. It comes to matter more that you poured yourself out, than whether the goal you wanted, was reached. Stuff which interested you in younger spiritual days will pale, and your interests will change -- ever more coalescing to One Interest: obeying Him. Just because.

For a long time, it will seem even childish, a kind of anal thinking because you are so concerned about getting the obedience right. One day you'll realize it's because you want so much to express love -- and you never can, really -- that you got so anal. Then, relaxation gradually sets in as you realize it's the Holy Spirit Who transforms you; so your failures, never matter. That's why there was a Cross. At which point, the Second Facet, now recognized as being done TO you, becomes enjoyable. Takes lots of time and practice, and it's much harder -- but the satisfaction, is like nothing else.

So until this second facet is fully Loved, one always needs reciprocation from any external love object. Until this second facet is fully Loved, any attempt at loving one's internal righteousness forever breaks down into pride. Pride is a sin primarily because it is incompletely comparative. It looks at self and others, and uses the latter to conclude favorably about self. Moreover, self's prideful standards are incompletely fulfilled externally: one is frustrated, because one remains dependent on externals fulfilling/compensating the 'pride'. Hence, tyranny. Hence, unhappiness.

By contrast, this second facet of True Righteousness doesn't need external fulfillment. Since God is Fully Righteous, both facets are infinitely His. Since Christ learned this Righteousness Fully, He could make a Gift of His Own Righteousness at the Cross -- thus justifying all creation. Since it was a Gift, this opposing facet was not compromised. Salvation, then, becomes "extra". Whether anyone wants it or not has zero effect on God. God is thus free to LOVE anyone, irrespective of his demerits. Thus God is free to offer salvation totally apart from merit: as a gift, even as it was given as a gift to Him by the Christ. ["Paradox" Table in Part V, explains this "paradox" of Righteousness in dramatic detail.]

Because the Second Facet is self-compensating, the need for barriers diminishes: and at last, dies. You have a thing you normally should need (sleep, food, good health, a loved one) and lose it. Then you learn how to not need it. Or, that you really didn't need it as you thought -- really, that you did need it, but now because of God, you don't. So getting it again later, no longer cages you as it once did. Prosperity, adversity, become the same. It's never a picnic, and you don't go around with a smile on your face. In fact, you'll be hurting all the time, even in prosperity; can't look at this insane world and not hurt; personal prosperity or adversity only intensifies the experience. But Second Facet is occurring! And that compensates. Even as, it did Christ on the Cross.

But they only add up that way, for a) the person rejecting Him is rejecting that the Standards be met, and b) God always 'foregoes' the person who rejects Him -- in Hell. So, the second facet remains: God withstands the rejector forever, is never compensated by the rejector's in-hell suffering. Rather, that in-hell suffering is an additional cost to Righteousness, because Omniscience knows the pain with far greater intensity than any creature will ever feel the pain. So, the opposing facet is forever met. So, there is likewise no compromise to Love, for Love keeps loving that person, despite the KNOWING-PAIN. Yet, with no compromise to Freedom, for the rejector receives the free-will consequence -- what he wanted -- life forever apart from God. (Same parallel, for those believers who quit or never get with God's Script, and thus end up in Heaven, but.. distant from Him, forever.)

So much for his first key missing component, that of full Righteousness. The second key missing component is due to the imbalance in the first: Satan's "missing" Full Love, too. See, God's Nature is undivided, a whole: we 'divide' Him conceptually into Attributes like Righteousness and Sovereignty (etc) to learn His Character. But His Character is one undivided Whole, unsustained -- precisely because He is Infinite God. So there's no such thing as a finite creature, who develops properly if unbalanced. So too, Satan: you can't 'miss' Righteousness without 'missing' Love as well. So when a person loves without Integrity, he is threatened by that love. Hatred is used to 'defend' against the love. That's why so often people who 'love' you compulsively insult you in little ways, with little putdowns; compulsively react to the smallest things you say or do; compulsively demand stuff of you they'd never demand of others. They are trying to rid themselves of the discomfort of the 'love'. And won't recognize that, of course. (Took me years to diagnose this threatened-by-love pattern. It's not much different than the teasing kids do in grammar school, but the adult who's threatened by love isn't at all pleasant to be around. Best to limit contact, if possible. Intra-family problems, friendship/romance problems, close-working-relationship problems, are often diagnosable due to this one cause.) See, love means someone other than the self, is of competing importance. That's a threat to the sin nature in Adam. Also, true love IS 'weak', in that it wants to give to the object at the expense of self. Trouble is, this 'weakness' of Love cannot be eradicated. We were made to love God, and even sin didn't destroy the need for love. But it did destroy the ability to enjoy love. So in Satan, who is far far far bigger in nature than we currently are, whoa.. still loves God, but hates himself for it! That's the core of his nature. Devastation.

Now you know how someone can murder someone he 'loves'. The murderer cannot rid himself of the 'love', so must murder the object of that 'love'. This is Satan's problem, and he knows it. He makes fun of himself for it, in the 3rd Temptation's Greek. Weird: do you know, he'd be the biggest mourner, if he ever actually won against Christ...

As we saw in Part I's "..:Integrity Properties" section, Love is not free until it can love FULL Righteousness. Until then, Love cannot attach sufficiently, to be inviolate. So, Love cannot be love, because it remains dependent on the object fulfilling the role full Righteousness was instead designed to fulfill. Thus, love retains "strings" and hence is not really love at all, but disguised need. Listen to love songs, sometime: they all sing endlessly of need. So, they aren't about love, at all. Our love songs echo Satan's idea about Love, not God's. God says Love should be "extra", "free", "stringless", "no-need". That's the antithesis of Satan's (and our) idea of "love", for we, like Satan, want to be needed. Like Satan, we think that if we aren't needed, we aren't valuable. Clearly, God's Love says otherwise. Clearly, too -- if love is based on need, then a person only loves you because he needs something within or about you -- not because of you. What kind of love is that? Certainly not one you should want!

It's a funny thing, how true love unwittingly exposes pride. Satan absolutely despises a Love which is unrelated to recipient-creature merit. So, often, do we. How often is it said, "Oh, you shouldn't have done this?" instead of "thank you" for some gift the recipient feels is "too big"? Why is that the response? Because the recipient feels he can't reciprocate. That's a Pride Motive. It's not meant that way, of course -- but look: can't the person just enjoy the grace of the gift? Oh no -- some kind of objection must be made! Do you ever see God doing such a thing? Did the Father ever say to the Son, "You shouldn't have done this?" No! Instead, He revels in the Son! Sure, He gives to the Son -- but it's Free! The Son really DIDN'T do any works -- His Perfect Sacrifice was a result of a Gift of Thinking from the Holy Spirit -- in advance, for free. Jesus would not have been able to get What He Wanted, else -- to pour Himself out on the Cross. Just Because. True Love is like that.

By contrast, on any given day, check out how everyone keeps a hidden, Satan-like scorecard. We do this so naturally, we don't even realize it: it's an extension of cause-and-effect, balance-justice-scales thinking. What we don't realize is that we carry such reciprocity thinking too far -- and quash love by making it a priced object. Watch: Jane received gift A, from John, which 'merits' response "x" from Jane. If the response is not given, well, then Jane gets demerits, on the hidden scorecard. To be made up later. If, however, Jane reciprocates by something "too big", then Jane is condemned, in some way, to allay the discomfort in John. Jane did too much. Was too nice. Was prideful. Was stupid. Was 'weird'. Had an ulterior motive. Had 'a Christ complex'. Was so superior, well -- that big thing was owed 'me', somehow (aka the rich owe the poor, the big owe the little -- as if the latter two groups were caused by the former two). Of course, you can reverse the two folks in the foregoing example. Doesn't matter age, name, sex, culture, etc. This is human nature. Bought by our Energizer Bunny, the sin nature we all inherit from Adam and then use in our souls.

See? Any excuse to avoid Grace. Any excuse to avoid Love. Think it over. Just turn on a television sometime, and watch how many scorecard-y ideas parade. Just listen to someone's conversation, sometime, and watch how many scorecard-y ideas preen themselves. It's disgusting. It's not love: it's Satan's thinking, instead. Gross. We all share his disease, because we are all impregnated with his propaganda. From birth. Repulsive. Well, at least childish..wait! Here's what our disease is: we, like Don Quixote, think "Dulcinea" (the self!).. is beautiful.

Now you know the tragedy of Satan, and the tragedy of so many "loves" throughout human history: substitutes-for-Full-Righteousness. These "loves" are all unRighteous objects, so of course 'fail' to live up to one's expectations. So, one becomes iconoclastic, bitter, revengeful, jealous, cunning, scheming..ever seeking the fantasy: (unfulfillable) 'compensation'. One built one's own idol (love-based-on-need-for-self), and now seeks its desecration, but projected onto other(s). In Satan's case, the 'idol' is incomplete Righteousness, which he feels God ought to have, but lacks. So, he's out to destroy God. He and his demon-cohorts feel spurned, cheated, mistreated, lied-to, vandalized. So, they seek to reciprocate the 'evil' they feel they're getting from God onto any of God's "chosen". As much as possible. See, it's not merely to get out of the Lake of Fire. These guys are rabidly upset. They want vengeance. Forever. [So what do you think they will do to unbelievers in the Lake of Fire? Take vengeance out on them, of course. So, if you don't remember if you've ever believed Christ paid fully for all of your sins, for heaven's sake, Believe Now: "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not believe shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him." (John3:36).] ["[B]elieve" is really "disobeying" in the Greek, but it means disobeying-the-believe-command, so is better translated "believe" for English clarity. "[R]emains" is Greek verb "menw", meaning to dwell in a home, abide on/in, remain. The last term is best, since if you believe, wrath doesn't "remain" on you any longer; rather, God "abides" IN You, as 1Jn explains (repeating that same "menw" word at least a dozen times). See the wonderful wordplay? Do you want to 'live', 'abide' in God's wrath, or have God 'abide' (live in, with) you? permanently avoid the first, permanently get the second, by a nanosecond's faith alone in Christ alone. NOW.]

How then does Satan attack God? 'With as much biting wit as possible. Remember, Satan's shocked, upset, hurt, angry, mad, and can't confront the fact he alone is to blame for his unhappiness. See, since God didn't make Himself but always just IS, God is the object of all prepositions, so to speak. Which means Satan is fixated on Christ. As you'll read below, this fixation is so total, the "Signature" section (below) enables the believer to detect Satan's involvement, for his fixation shows in his need to publicly 'sign' all he authors.

So goes Satan, so goes the demons, so goes the human race. We're all in this problem together. That's why God is so patient. God the Son made Satan and all other creation: He doesn't want to lose them! But they (we) just can't get past that dual-sided Righteousness! They (we) just can't understand how growing-up-in-Love requires that they (we) also grow in both sides of Righteousness, as well! (The section below on "Script Target" will explain this paragraph in more detail.)

In military parlance, "grand strategy" usually means the topmost methodology adopted to completely achieve the overall objective of the operation. For example, our grand strategy for WWII was to defeat Germany and Japan by means of superior forces; occupation of both countries after the war was still part of that grand strategy, for occupation was designed to set up a situation such that neither country would be fighting again for quite some time. Lesser strategies, of course, are like a series of interlocking blocks, modules, or stepping-stones intended to be supportive of, compatible with, the "grand strategy". So, you have strategies of attack, of procurement, of management, etc. Tactics, by contrast, are what one implements to carry out the strategy. So, you also have tactical strategy, defined as the methodology chosen to implement the tactic for the sake of the grand strategy's goal.

Example: Pretend you're a housewife. Strategically, you must get done everything domestically needed, in a day; and you must get it all done such that you get home in time to fix dinner. So, here are some of your tactical goals, in order to meet the strategic ones (pretend): you must go to the grocery store, the dry cleaners, the local bakery, and pick up the kids. Which do you do first? Do you have a list of what you need at the store? Do you know where the clothes for dry cleaning are located, and do you have them all? Did Johnny remember to leave his school jacket on the bathroom door's hook? Do you have to go to the bank? Do you have enough gas in the car? Will the train cross the railroad crossing when you get there and delay you? All these must have answers within the "Grand Strategy" of getting all those goals fully accomplished in time to get home and fix dinner. So, you plan out what you have to do when. Then, you implement that strategy tactically by going to the bank first, then filling up the car with gas, etc., timing them all so that you get to each place at the right time, get home at the right time, etc.

So the difference between what's a strategy, and what's a tactic, is this: 'strategy' is the plan, tactic is the implementation of the plan. Tactical objectives being reached set up the potential for the strategic objectives to be reached. So, tactics should always be consonant with strategy, and are how strategic goals are realized. So "strategy" answers the questions of 'what' and 'why', whereas "tactics" answer how. In history, all too often strategy and tactics are at odds with each other; strategies don't fit into the hierarchy of other strategies, or the grand one. This is true in both business, as well as politics (war being just a 'strategy', in either one, however we gloss that fact over with our high-sounding claims of justice). [War is life. Those who claim to be peace-lovers are really cowards. By contrast, those who use the truth of war-is-life as sheep's clothing for greed, etc. are equally cowards.]

SATAN'S STRATEGIC PHILOSOPHY KEY ==>Satan always uses truth. He's not stupid. He knows that Truth is the most powerful of all powers (Fixes.htm dwells on this at length in the "Topics related to the Nature of God" section). It's how Satan uses truth which makes for falsehood. He means to 'spin' truth so its power is exploited, so lies can piggyback onto that power; so that humans choose the lie, so he (Satan) is never at fault for his 'spin'. This 'spin' purpose is best achieved by the way he focuses on truth. Mixing falsehood comes naturally, by means of careful stress on the less-important, the later, etc. aspects of any truth. In short, he crafts near-truth: thus, the greatest of lies.

So, Satan's Counter to God's Script always depicts truth. However, the depiction is always slanted. He knows how to appeal to our genetically-dissociative 'fallen' condition. So, he deftly crafts the 'slant' to magnify the brain's urge-strength. [See Part II, "In the beginning of Man.." section, so to understand how 'depravity' is a genetically-dissociative urge apart from our free will, yet only our free will converts that urge into sin. The "dungheap" table there will prove helpful. See also, the "Spiritual Pathology" link, at page-top.] Also, each slant-of-truth (sleight-of-truth, slight-of-truth), is multifaceted. Even so, Satan's slants on truth always manifest four primary strategic and tactical characteristics:

All four characteristics pervade every Satanic ploy. They are interwoven, and multilayered thickly. The interweaving makes them coherent, and thus appealing (e.g., to reason). The multilayering is concentration-of-force: like phalanxes, like multiple types of firepower all carefully aimed at selected, concentrated targets (Bible Doctrine, anywhere it exists). Here's what they accomplish:

Functionally, these are deployed in opposite order, of course, because Satan loves a good derisive joke more than anything else! REVERSAL IS THE NAME OF THE GAME. So, for example, the 'obvious' is 'misemphasized' in a 'noisy' way, so to 'reverse' God's truth. Thus, Derision uses Imbalance, so to Obfuscate and make Substitution: D-I-O-S. In short, to REPLACE God with a 'foreign' god. So, Obviously, all four deployments 'distract' and 'divert', provide 'decoys'. But each has as its primary goal, the above 'accomplishments'.

"Four" is the number of structural completeness in Biblical numerology (doctrinal metaphors using numbers to communicate, not magic), and you'll find that in all secular life, "four" completes a thing's structure. [1 starts, 3 perpetuates/balances, 4 structurally completes, 7 perfects/functionally completes. If you're involved in science and have a problem, use these identities to seek answers, for they underlie virtually every natural, economic, or psychological law I can think of.] For example, man is not structurally complete without God: with God, though, you have a 'four': God, human spirit, human soul, human body. For example, a nation's structural sovereignty is not complete without a 'four': military sovereignty, economic sovereignty, family sovereignty, individual sovereignty. In biology, the being is not structurally complete without a 'four': breathing system (includes digestion/elimination), nervous system, cardiac system, and reproduction system. And so on. Principle: Structural Independence Requires A Structural Completeness.

So, it's not surprising that Satan, who loves to use truth as well, would have his own 'fours'. As we saw in Part IV, Satan interweaves these Four Grand Strategic Goals above (D-I-O-S) with "Operation MEGA", his 4-pronged attack strategy against the human race:

The "click here" sublink in Part IV's "MEGA" table reviews how these 'fours' reflect Satan's Own Four Decisions, to counter the Lord's Four Decisions. So, we see how the Grand Strategy is constructed: D-I-O-S. So, in Part IV we saw how the attacking-humans strategy 'fits' it: M-E-G-A. Great, huh?

If you recall the beginning of Part I, Satan's strategy was introduced thusly:

"See how crafty Satan is? He dismembers God, and hence our spiritual life, down to the proverbial "Brother Foot." (1Cor12:14). Never mind that we are of the Head, that is, Christ. Satan, in his unquenchable desire for revenge, wants Christ under his feet, so casts Christ (and the Godhead) as of no more value than a foot. A runner. A "go-fer", a peasant. A person who does only menial tasks. A person who is petty, judgmental. A Hander-Out of goodies. Or, a Withholder of them. Such a despisingly-cheap idea of God naturally filters down to a shoddy spiritual life: do, do, do -- doo-doo.

These two definitions of God, Sugar Daddy and Petty Judge, are made opposites so that the believer is caught between them, in a spiritual blitzkrieg. Trapped between these two narrow falsehoods, the believer is blinded to the real nature of God. So, for added entrapment, Satan often binds both ideas together as one: you get Sugar Daddy if you are a good person, but Petty Judge if you are a bad person. All the world's religions tout this model. Mainstream Christianity touts it, too."

Now, let's see how MEGA translates into Brother Foot. If you look at 1Cor12:14, you'll find out that Brother Foot was a 'low' gift, in Paul's Body analogy, and poor ol' Brother Foot felt bad about that. Why? Because he didn't have some flashy visible gift to wow his fellow believers. See the NOISE, the OBFUSCATION? Deflecting from the fact that the spiritual life is, being part of CHRIST? So who is 'Brother Foot' thinking about? People, not God. People, and what they think of him. Not God. So, that's 'apathy', the "A" in Satan's MEGA -- dear ol' Brother Foot is apathetic about God, but very interested in fitting in with his fellows! All this, due to NOISE, coupled with MISEMPHASIS: that VISIBLE GIFTS make one what.. good! That's a hook on the "M" of MEGA, "Morality", since "morality" is all about i-am-good. Of course, there's a lot of EMOTION attending the noise and the need-to-be-good-with-people, which the NOISE enhances and stresses: that's the "E" of MEGA. So, of course, you have in effect a whole lot of Gross sin, masked as 'holy' -- for dear ol' Brother Foot is angry, guilty, resentful. Of course, Gross sin being masked (obfuscation, again), Brother Foot will go right on sinning. So, God is SUBSTITUTED by the VISIBLE, fit-in-with-people! A "DIOS" is 'god', now! Alpha-privative negative, a-dios! Bye-bye, God! Great, huh?

Oh, but there's more! Derision of God's Real Purpose for the Brother-Foots is screaming! As explained in Part III, God's Plan for believers is to make us all Royal King-Priests. That's not exactly a footman role. So, one first has to grow up in it, before he can do anything. It's a profession, requiring nearly a lifetime of training, before anything can be 'done'. However, this training process plays invisibly, for Christ is seated. As Paul explains in 1Cor12-13, the less-seen 'parts' get more honor, and the superior but invisible life itself, is about learning Him. [1Cor12:22's "unpresentable parts" analogy plus 1Cor12:27-31, plus promise of completed Canon and its results; latter is depicted in that astounding concatenation passage, 1Cor13:8-13.]

So watch how Satan satirizes Paul's explanation, specifically. Our Father-designed Royal Invisibility Role means that to the world, we 'look' kinda like "unpresentable parts" (1Cor12:22-26, get an unabridged lexicon!): not attractive, no status, 'doing nothing', just studying and thinking. Wha???? When there's so much good to be done? So, we are to be reviled. So, since we are invisible, the world sees little of our tremendous impact, upon which (as Part IV explained) history literally depends: see the generic parallel to the Lord's Role while He was here, before He went 'public'? Satan thus satirizes our invisibility and power by taking a partial truth -- we visibly do nothing much -- and REVERSING that to glorify menial body works (e.g., potlucks, working at the church, giving money, etc). So, nowadays, if you ask most any believer what he thinks the spiritual life is, what's the reply? All the MEGA characteristics: be moral, avoid Gross sin, seek emotional definitions of God, be apathetic to Scripture study (phrased with 'fit in' holy words like 'help people', etc), do works -- like a Brother Foot! Ohhh, loud on VISIBLE meniality, praise for the 'low'! So, REVERSES the real job we're to do, Invisibly Learn Christ. Voilá, CHRISTianity becomes.. ChurchINANITY! Who said Satan was ever stupid?

So what does Satan always reverse-substitute, misemphasize, drown out, satirize? 'God's Script. See, God's Plan is to:

1. SAVE the person. ['Via once believing Christ paid for all your sins.]
2. GROW UP the person's soul in Love [Bible Doctrine, the Thinking of Christ, which you can't even understand until saved -- cf 1Cor2, Romans 5-8, esp. 8,& 1Jn]. That means a lot of 'downtime' learning Bible doctrine via 1Jn's Script in Part I.
3. INTEGRATE that learning into the body. God is the God of Balance. ['Practicing the Doctrine you've 'eaten' to get balancing Skill: putting your own body 'under His (hence, your own!) feet' -- cf. Paul's 'boxing', 'beat my body' verses -- Philippians 2-3 kinda summarize the concept.] This stage culminates in the last stage of the spiritual life, the combat from Spiritual Maturity to Pleroma; it focuses on developing the second facet of Righteousness, "withstand all", in the believer.

Notice how the "work" is to produce a particular kind of person, one maritally compatible with Son. Think of yourself as God's work-in-progress, for that's what you are. What you do the meanwhile is not, strictly speaking, relevant: for, whatever you do, will be an interim result of what you are. Again, the do itself is not relevant -- it is only an interim indicator of what you are at that moment, the interim amalgamated manifestation of whatever Doctrine has grown up in you, and the 'rest' of you (i.e., your sin nature, remaining hangups, baggage, etc).

Notice how God's balancing process, above, is analogous to human childhood-adulthood stages. A child can't 'do' anything. He first needs to go to school. Only once he's an adult can he begin to really 'do' anything. Becoming a spiritual adult takes (maybe) much longer, and is far more awkward: after all, the believer is imputed with Righteousness, and his fallen nature can't handle it! In both scenarios (physical maturing and spiritual maturing), Body is always LAST, never FIRST. Why? Soul has to tell the body what to do: that's how the human is structured. So God's Script calls for the Soul to first be filled up with Righteousness, which is Truth, which is Bible Doctrine. For until the soul has enough truth replacing falsehoods, whatever it tells the body will be 'mixed'. (Rom8, Eph3 are sample chapters on that topic.) Then the body can be integrated sufficiently to do a "work". ('Main theme of James: never divorce James 2 from James 1's precedence.) Moreover, Divine Righteousness is Qualitative. So the "work" has to be done from THAT Level of Righteousness to be Good. Body-power can't do anything remotely resembling Righteousness. It's impossible, even if the body is perfect. Even a perfect body is no more than a blemishless lamb. It, of itself, is not sinful, but not spiritual, either. That's why Christ didn't use His Deity, nor His Humanity, to obey Father: instead, He relied on the Spirit during His Entire 1st Advent. So should we.

For the 'body' of God Himself, is THOUGHT. What the evolutionists (and most Christians, esp. the prolifers!) fail to understand, is that life is non-material, and is evidenced by THINKING. A plant has neither self-consciousness nor free will; so, it can't think like we can, but it does act on its own in a responsive way to its environment, and is capable of 'learning'. So too for other forms of non-human life -- other ones being more or less greater in their 'responsive' and 'learning' capabilities. Of course, the other hallmark, is the ability to propagate. Yet, while we know a whole lot about plant biology, we still don't have proof even in plants that the material biology we see is the actual cause of the organism. See, if a plant 'dies', all its biology is still intact: but, turned off. How did that happen? Why did it suddenly quit working? All the biological elements are still there, one nanosecond after natural death.

So something biology can't detect turned the plant's life 'off'. We can spot disease, we can spot other causes of death, but the only thing we truly know about the death itself, is that the plan suddenly turns 'off'. So too, with other forms of life: 'for the life of the animal, is its blood.' (Lev17:14.) Yet, what makes that blood move? We say, the heart. Ok, but what makes the heart pump? We say, the movement of the blood... uh oh. So what keeps that 'circle of life', going, huh? So all life is fundamentally immaterial. Embodied, yes; but an immaterial aliveness turned that body on or off. We speculate why when we view the sequence of events just before death; we ASSume that because the organism was cut a certain way, deprived of so much water, etc., that it died. Yet we are no closer to understanding What Gives The Order to turn off. We only know the organism will shut off.

The Ultimate Aliveness is God, since God is PURE THOUGHT. Every Attribute expresses as a 'body' of thought: what is Righteous and why, what is Truth and why, what is Love and why, what is Omniscience and why, etc. Powers like Omnipotence and Omnipresence (Infinity) are actually Thought as well. Satan, for example, was tempting the Lord to 'speak' stones INTO bread: to speak, one must first agree to the THOUGHT. The "Word" moniker and the Sacred Tetragrammaton (YHWH) alike signify that God is Thought. For, BEINGNESS is ALIVE, hence Thinking. Self-Consciousness, Run By Will, is the 'heart'; thought is the 'blood'. In God, though, there is no shutoff; since God by nature is Infinite, there's no movement TO shut off. One Big IS-ness. IAMIAM: all thought & life online, AT ONCE. Yours, mine, the plant's, the speck of dust in the new universe a bizillion years from now, and most of all, always.. the Cross. Always 'occurring'.

Thinking by nature replicates, because it is alive. You read the words on this page, and while the typing is dead, the media is dead, the meaning is alive. So, now alive IN you, as well as in the typist (moi), and still on the page. No energy, no mass, caused that transaction. Instead, energy and mass were but vehicles for the actual 'parents'. So, God thinks, "let there be light", and so it is (Genesis). Your body responds to thought, just as God's thought creates a response (existence of light, here). See? The body is last, never spiritual, but gets used as a vehicle for the spiritual. Of course, if one is carnal, no spirituality is operational. Of course, if one knows no doctrine, one's level of spirituality is nearly nil! Because Thought is the 'body' of God, it must become the 'body' of your spiritual life. Until Bible Doctrine is the 'body' of your thinking, your physical body can't do anything of value: it needs a 'head', Christ.

That's why, for example, Christ Himself! had 30 years of downtime. He didn't do any works whatsoever until He was 30 years old. Then, the first "work" was invisible! The Matt4 tests. Only after that did He 'go visible', ending at the Cross, the Greatest Work Of All Time, which wasn't even a work at all, because even on the Cross He 'rested' in the Spirit, thinking Bible Doctrine. (The Matt4 temptations are essentially temptations to do works, rather than 'rest' on the Cross: see the Matt4 section, below. Then compare to how sins were paid by a Person who was nailed there, so couldn't possibly be working.) Notice the principle? God always "saves the best for last". Just as He did for Christ, Moses, Abraham, Paul, etc.

We equate money with freedom. We don't consider having a lot of money, tyranny. But, it can be. So too, with false righteousness. "False" righteousness is demonstrated whenever you are tormented by it: you or someone else MUST do something, and you feel rather badly about that fact. True Righteousness, by contrast, is like money: you're so grateful to have it, you practically want to give it away to anyone and everyone, just to express your gratitude. Just like you'd do, if you won 100 billion dollars in some ideal lottery, tomorrow. Wouldn't you celebrate? So, True Righteousness means, you 'withstand all' EXPENSE. No amount of expense can dent your money supply. Which, you are happy to spend, and cannot ever outspend. So, what do you do? You spend spend spend -- with only the result that you make make make yet more money. Of course, to get to that point, you've got to have enough money -- Righteousness -- first.

That Is Why You Are Made As Righteous As God The Second You Are Saved. Now you meet both Facets of Righteousness! Naturally, we always meet the second facet, so Righteousness is satisfied. Being imputed with His Righteousness causes us to be justified (2Cor5:14-21, Rom5), so now both facets are met! See, to us, all this getting-better business is a way to feel good about ourselves. To get some rest from the constant struggle with our fellow man, our environment, our guilt, our anger. But God has an entirely different point of view. Essentially, the way we think about having money, is how HE thinks about Righteousness. As something to Enjoy And Invest And Spend. We think of Righteousness as something painful we gotta 'do', to get what we enjoy, like ..money. So, God made us totally wealthy the very second we first believed in Christ.

So now that you are totally wealthy in Christ: if you use money, you use it because you enjoy it. It's no longer a status thing, for you have all the status you could want. It's no longer a need thing, for you no longer have needs. In Christ you actually have no needs: however, like the gypsy child who is really the first-born of highest royalty, you don't know that's your new-in-Christ nature. So, you have to learn that fact. Via, learning Christ's thinking. So, after some years of learning, you actually need less. Eventually, nothing. Righteousness Becomes Enjoyable; you frankly BECOME alive, compared to the sleepwalkers among whom we once were -- whom we all call, 'human.' Being human is learning Christ: what passes for humanity is a progressive deadening. Because, eventually the soul is filled up with Christ, or the body takes over.

Simply being a believer in the Body of Christ (aka Church) creates a pressure on your soul you can't even imagine. Nor will you detect it for what it is. You are as incompatible with your body due to being a believer, as it is possible to be: only Christ was more incompatible (Infinity united to finity dichotomy, see first four bullets of "Fixes" link). So, you will have an unrecognized yearning for Righteousness which is innate to your spiritual structure -- for you are Exactly Like Christ In Spiritual Structure. Wife should exactly fit her Husband, and we are all corporately, to become Bride.

This spiritual structure makes everything in life more intense. The unbeliever is essentially more dead than you are, so his enjoyments are better than yours. Your enjoyments all depend on getting in God's System and on His Script. You don't know that, you won't believe that, but it's nonetheless true: "My food is to do the will of Him Who sent Me", Christ said repeatedly; see also Matt4:4. That's how you are, also, but .. you don't know that.

If you get into His System and grow in Grace and in the knowledge of Him (2Pet3:18), you will come to know that. And then, your life got worse, not better. Your body reacts to what you learn with ever more rebelling force, and the intensity widens. So the body life will become more and more meaningless, as you get more truth in you; for, you begin to see how stupid this life really is. Despair and frustration and iconoclasm will grip you; doctrine will deliver you out of it, until at last you finally stop believing in the body stuff the world pants after.

Assuming that stopping didn't have to occur traumatically, you will gradually adjust to a new reason for being in this body: like Paul said, for Christ to be glorified in your body (Philippians). If it was traumatic, you will traumatically adjust (Paul's is a hybrid case, good example of what we must go through). In all events, new things (spiritual life provision) had come, new Doctrine got built, you got built spiritually, and now this body has a new use: finishing the course, getting to Pleroma, Eph3:15-19. Of which, you are very aware. Intensity is great, as explained in the Fourth Reason for Invisibility and Fourth Reason for Royalty, of Part III.

"Bogus" usually means a too-narrow interpretation (feel-good, feel-bad, but feelings are chemically-bought, not truth-bought, for all feelings are biological). All too often, "bogus" is outright fakeness. So, people who give into their body-feelings end up being as dead as the bodies housing their souls. By contrast, the person who learns to live on God's Meaning rather than the body's feeling, changes the body's reactions to be more responsive to Meaning, than to anything else. This takes nearly a lifetime, but -- would you rather end up a marionette? There's no middle ground.

All this, because the body has to be influential, since you have to be fully integrated with it, for your soul to even have a chance to dominate the body. But without doctrine, the body runs the soul: like a cunning female, it will pretend the soul is calling the shots. But that's a bald-faced lie. The soul is being flattered, that's all. All this body-running-soul is mindless, to boot. Volition caves into it, thus the damage worsens. The genetics of the sin nature don't have intent, but subroutines. Energizer Bunny, which keeps on banging the drum on feeling. So, you are trapped.

Look around you. Turn on the TV. Ask yourself what you see. Ask yourself WHY what folks call important, makes any sense at all. If you keep on asking, you'll notice, hey, the criterion for everything people love or hate is either ego, or.. feeling. Don't you notice, everyone is like half-alive, scurrying from one rote-thing to the next, barely aware of why they do it? Or our so-called political/philosophical arguments: do you ever listen to the content, or don't you rather tune out because, enfin, the arguments don't make a whole lot of sense? So why do folks argue? Well, don't the Arabs fight because it makes them feel macho? Do their arguments ever make sense? Does the average church service's words ever make any sense, or do they merely feel good? Does the average commercial have sense-appeal, or FEEL-appeal?

Whyever does everyone try to get a better house, car, boyfriend or girlfriend, clothing, job? Isn't it ego? What's popular on TV or movies, but fighting something? And why is that? To Feel Better About Self. Vicariously. Politicians wrangle. People compare themselves to others all the time, secretly. My eyes are prettier than hers. My muscles aren't as big as his. My fur/dress/car/watch is.. compared. For what?? Our strings are pulled by this urge, that urge, this feeling, that feeling. So how independent are we? Not at all. Just many puppets, on strings: and Satan plays us all.

So, clearly, it's God's purpose to exploit the body, saving the Best and Worst, for last: so, the body is the last part of saved man which is "redeemed": when he dies. ['The "eagerly awaiting the redemption of our bodies" verse: cf Rom8:23, Eph4:30,Heb9:12.] Of course, each "deposit" of Bible Doctrine (while in a state of 1Jn1:9 used, not in v.8 or v.10's states) -- each Perfect Deposit by a Perfect Holy Spirit increases the percentage of truth in the person, so increases the percentage of truth applied to the body, but probably until this percentage crosses the Pleroma (Eph3:19) threshold, the body can't sufficiently respond to truth. That's why one keeps on sinning during life in this body, however much he grows spiritually: gross sins are replaced by (far worse!) refined ones, and then the refined ones become fewer..the person gradually comes to sin less, but never becomes "sinless". Also, until the Pleroma threshold is crossed, the person's valid "works" are few. But it doesn't matter, because what God wants, is the person, not what he does. It also doesn't matter, because God blesses-by-association, to compensate the world, as it were, for the person's 'downtime' in learning -- a major theme of Parts I-V. Why? because God Wants Sons. God says that The Work HE wants is the person: Christ sacrificed Himself, not anyone or anything else. (see Part III, "FIRST CHARACTERISTIC" Section).

Also, the body is the last part of unsaved man which is Judged, e.g., the Lake of Fire. So, see? Body is Last, in God's Script. Always.

Also, everywhere in nature you see this invisible-precedes-visible structure: seed is below ground and changes before it becomes anything fruitful: "sown in dishonor" verse. Animals are formed in mothers' wombs before they are born; same for people. ('Not human until born, because no-soul-in-womb: see "SINE QUA NON..BALANCE" table in Part II. It's vital to understand that Holy God Never Does Partial Anything. Last section of this site has more on abortion, too.) Viruses invisibly start before there are any physical symptoms (e.g., cancer). Everywhere you turn, the invisible precedes and causes the visible. So, the Christian who buys Satan's reversal of the spiritual life (works-first) will ultimately display the visible disease of insanity/apathy/frustration/ jadedness/ disillusion. It's so OBVIOUS, in Christianity today -- except to those afflicted.

Moreover, God's Script, even during the visible covenants (OT, Trib, Mill) is nonetheless quiet: the "still, small voice" principle, so to not manipulate or coerce. For the sake of freedom.

In sum, God Wants Sons. It's the person whom God wants, not what the person can "do". See, what pleases God is your coming to have the same pleasure He has. He LOVES. He thus loves to 'hear' love. Merit is basically inconsequential. One needs to learn to Love Righteousness, in order to grow up enough to have enjoyment, LOVE INVIOLATE. That's the real purpose. Naturally, in order to grow up this far, one comes to have merit -- but only because one is first imputed with God's Own Righteousness, and because God pours Bible Doctrine into the soul. In short, the only way to 'get' merit is by God giving it to you. So, it's never about 'merit'. That's for free. Enjoyment, also, is of no value to God until it is free. Can't grit-teeth-pretending-to-enjoy. That doesn't count. In short, Heb10:5! "Sacrifice and offerings" are not desired -- but instead, YOU: "but a Body You prepared for Me." God prepares. Not you. You benefit. You enjoy. That's what God wants: Philippians 3:9-11, Greek!

Ok, now let's focus on some tactical basics. Satan is the best of generals. Subtlety and indirection are the most potent tactical devices in any military/ political/ business/ personal endeavor to achieve 'victory'. Alexander the Great, for example, conquered so much territory because he used an oblique method of attack: "salami tactics". You slice salami thinly. And keep doing it. A child learns that if he takes only one cookie from the jar, Mom might not notice. A thin slice of salami, removed, doesn't show much. So, those looking at the "salami" of troops won't notice much loss. Until, of course, too many are gone. Too late, by then. So, Satan always and constantly uses "salami tactics".

In diet and exercise, salami tactics are the most successful, too. It's relatively easy to smartly trim a few calories each day; to smartly exercise a little bit each day. Thus you 'defeat' lifestyle-caused disease.

Chinese water torture is simply a drop of water on your nose. It doesn't hurt, and it rolls off your face. But if it keeps on dripping, and you can't get away from it..you go nuts. That's another "salami tactic".

If a woman wears a red dress and nice makeup, she gets noticed. If she instead wears sweats, people are less likely to look. So also, if a famous person dresses in a nondescript way, the person can go into a crowd, probably unnoticed. See? That's yet another salami tactic.

Satan learned this, of course, from God, since all of life is a little-bit-at-a-time. Easy, slow, constant. Up or down. Deadly, if down. Hardest-to-maintain, if up. Hamburger Hill. One "invisible" slice at a time. Precept on precept.

[This subsection needs rewriting, but I've no more time right now. Concepts are ok, but parts of the explanation seem choppy, vague, etc.]

The salami tactic above is a form of deftness. Deftness is to be prized far above brute strength. Smarts, not size, wins far more wars. Deftness was one of the prime skills a Roman soldier needed to acquire with his machaira, the 'knife' with which he fought in close combat. Measuring about 18 inches (you see it in the final scenes of the film Gladiator), this double-edged short-sword only needed to be inserted about an inch or so into the opponent's body, to kill him or render him hors de combat. 'In an appropriate place, of course. So, you just stepped in, djut! .. and stepped out, so your Gallic enemy could crash to the ground, his huge broadsword clanging.. useless.

Deftness in either God's or demonic wordplay is best shown with signatures. For, any script will reflect its author. So, with some detecting skills and enough data, you can decipher the authorship of a thing, idea, item. Since any script has an AUTHOR, any author SIGNS his script. If you remember the 1950's TV series, "Zorro", you'll remember that "Zorro" (Spanish Robin Hood) always 'signed' to attest his erstwhile presence with a "Z" made by his sword. So too, as any criminologist will tell you, the serial murderer must 'sign' his grisly work. Same is true of a repeat thief. The 'signature' in criminology, as anywhere, is two-fold. First, because a criminal has an ego problem, he always leaves some deliberate items; a great movie on this topic is "Seven", starring Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, and Brad Pitt. Second, because the criminal is who he is, he inadvertently leaves behind embedded characteristics of himself, both physical and psychological, within the crime itself. This is how criminals are detected, identified.. and caught.

So, in the 'crime' of whether God wrote a given holy book, one of the most important functions of Biblical textual criticism is to LOCATE GOD'S SIGNATURE. God's Signature, is likewise two-fold. First, God's Signature is sometimes blatant, as in the many OT statements 'signed' "Ani, Adonai", "I, the Lord." IAM THE LORD is usually the translation, and that itself is a paronomasia: for, the Sacred Tetragrammaton is The Name, (euphemized with Adonai), and the Name is a doubling of Hebrew "to be": so comes to mean, IAMIAM. Very funny, very profound. See Exo3:14, in NIV. Their translation isn't necessarily the best, nor the most accurate, but it is certainly one layer of meaning to this most-beloved Name of God.

Second, God's Signature is more often displayed by CONTENT: it's a type of embedding-Self-in-the-work, and is in fact the most important of the ways to attest Divine Authorship. That is, doctrines already known as His are in the book, letter, verse -- and they tie perfectly to all the others. In fact, one big reason for the Deut 6, 9, 30 injunctions to have the Law constantly on your mind (like tfellin) -- the 'when you get up, go to bed' expression -- is to Test everything Against the Truth. So too, with the injunction about the Divine Signature. Strict penalties applied to those who claimed to be from God or giving messages from God -- death -- see Jer28 for an example of this principle-at-work. [That's why I constantly urge you to test any writing you read, whether here or elsewhere. You Should Get Divine Testimony. Because outright miracles are passé, unnecessary, and too upsetting to soul stability, the way the HS witnesses to the Truth will be much more reliable: just keep on using 1Jn1:9 and asking to see the Truth, and Keep Studying The Truth, The Bible, Under Your Pastor. You will eventually or quickly come to grasp the meaning from the Scripture you're studying. Granted, some truths are too sophisticated for you 'now', but the simpler ones underlying them will be conveyed; the ones you can 'get' right now will be done. Look for them: "Seek and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you." Truth, not feel-good; Truth, Scripture, not 'signs' even the weakest demon can make you hallucinate. More about that latter topic follows below in this site.]

God's Content Signature can take some digging, to find. More often, however, the signature is blatant -- but if you don't know how to 'read' it, it goes undetected. For, God's Content Signature involves a lot of very sophisticated wordplay, along with the highly-intricate weavings of the Truth itself. If you are filled with the Spirit, and trained in both the doctrines and the wordplay of the Word, you'll be able to discern His Content Signature with no great effort, especially if you've been under a good pastor-teacher or have that gift yourself (males only). If you are not so trained but are in that system (gotta 'play' by God's rules, not your own), then the HS has other ways to show you: even a child can be thus 'informed', and many have been.

God's Content Signature Characteristics are very many. Writing style itself conveys Divine Attributes: Infinity is conveyed by deft uses of tiny or finessed rules in grammar, uses of particles, case endings, etc. Omniscience and Truth are conveyed by the way the verses all tie to each other, omnidirectionally, despite the fact that over a span of 1500 years, over 40 different people, wrote these books. Hopefully these two brief examples will give you the idea: a whole book would need to be written on 'How God's Attributes are displayed syntactically'. So too, writing style conveys every doctrine of the Bible, and a separate book on just that topic would need to be written.

Finally, as a detector of Divine Authorship, there are the doctrines themselves. God, being Perfect, should teach perfect doctrines. So, any alleged holy book or from-God phenomenon should teach perfect doctrines, as well. That is,

• the doctrines should not contradict each other in any way;
• they should not aid, abet, counsel, sponsor, or encourage sin;
• they should teach about God's Own Attributes, and
• the teaching itself should demonstrate Perfection, when those teachings about Attributes are added together and analyzed.
• Since God gave us brains, the teaching should make sense, and
• be testable by reason and empirical evidence to the extent that the teaching is corroborated at least in part by reason and empirical facts. (Obviously since God is Infinite and Immaterial, neither empiricism nor reason can conclusively prove His Existence -- He'd have to reveal Himself through higher means. However, since empiricism and reasoning must have been invented by God, such systems would echo at least some of the revelation about Him, and would not contradict it.)
• So, in sum, while conclusive proof of the nature and revelation of God would require an individual to believe what he can't prove by empirical and rational means, such belief would not be stupid in light of the empirical and rational data which was sensibly and competently obtained.

  How-to-test sample: if a person insists he has had a revelation from the Father or the Lord Jesus Christ, but that revelation contradicts the Bible; if the Bible itself both makes sense and isn't contradicting itself, then the additional revelation claimed would naturally be suspect. If anyone claims revelation after 96AD, it's not from God. See Rev22:6-21. Canon is finished. Of course, people argue otherwise. Ok, then: test their claims against what you know is really Scripture, having first tested what you think might be Scripture, using the above bullets. You always compare against known infallible Word, to see if something else is accurate.

• Like, the evolution crowd thinks it perfectly sensible to say the big bang spawned animate life. Animacy from INanimacy? Makes no sense. But, to them it does. So, data which requires they first recognize animacy can only be propagated, not made ex nihilo -- such data will be ignored; and interpretations will thus include irrationalities.

• So also, for those with the rosy glow of some vision -- the feeling passes for truth (an irrational conclusion), so the CONTENT of the vision will be swallowed whole, however insane it may be. Yeah, Joseph Smith suddenly gets a command from God to have many wives in order to reach "fullness of exaltation" (wow, what a satanic satire on both Trinity and doctrine of Church) -- though Perfect Adam himself only got to have one wife. Yeah, when the Lord told the Jews that even if they thought adultery they committed it, that "wife" is always in the SINGULAR; that David and Solomon were severely plagued and disciplined for having more than one wife at a time; oh, but Joseph Smith baby can just bed anyone he likes. Heh. Of course, this is the guy who got revelation from a Moroni [nearest Biblical Greek equivalent word is "moros" (moron in neuter and accusative), meaning death/doom/corpse/Son-of-Night/demon]; and Moroni (now an angel) was the last of a race of many folks God allowed to be judged by genocide. So yeah, the doctrine of such a punished people is a holy one to follow. Does that make sense? Does no one recognize this is a demon's autobiographical fantasy sketch? God condemned Satan and fallen angels to the Lake of Fire: a type of 'genocide', heh.

• Of course, people all the time claim the Bible is stupid, senseless, or wrong on this or that topic. Of course, the first step in assessing such a claim is to see if the claim is actually IN the Bible (usually, it's not); if the claim is actually a proper interpretation of what's in the Bible (usually, it's not); if the error is actually an error (usually, it's not); if the test used to determine the correctness or error is properly constructed and operated, and based on relevant data (usually, none of the above). And, of course, the same kinds of issues pertain to the testing of any book, holy or not. Trick is, due diligence, duly and diligently done. For any holy book, any phenomenon, any supernatural experience, claim, feeling. Due diligence, not soundbyte-judging.

One could go on with what the testing requirements would be to evidence Divine Authorship, but hopefully you get the idea. God's Content Signature via the Doctrines themselves would be most determinative, with respect to authorship. Of course, that's why, from Genesis 2:17 onward (a truth the woman misappropriated, discussed in Part II), the injunction has always been -- Test The Truth.

Basically, the rest of this webpage is devoted to spiritual 'intel' you can yourself prove, which both explains and illustrates Satan&Co.'s signature characteristics. You can test these characteristics against virtually anything: the examples here are pulled at random (well, the examples here came from stuff given to me by others who didn't know about this webpage's content). If some movie, book, or other datapiece struck me as illustrative of D-I-O-S, it's in here.

You should test whatever you hear or read; for example, how do you know I'm not some crackpot? There's an awful lot of crackpot satanology on the web. More importantly, you should test because you have an individual accountability to God for what thinking you 'buy', just like every other human ever born. However, before we proceed, please heed this warning: because Satan&Co. are insatiably meglomaniacal, they crave attention. So whenever you have to analyze anything related to them, they want to hook you on their 'magic'. The upper, strategic purpose is of course, to kidnap your interest in God. Beneath that, is this craving of attention.

Therefore, you shouldn't engage in this analysis unless you are DISinterested in learning them, but are doing so only to see what more about God you can better understand. Demonology is a topic in the Bible, and all Scripture is to be learned. So you must learn it. However, be extra diligent to use 1Jn1:9 often as you analyze demonic activity, for if you get dilatory about it, you might find yourself in very deep doo-doo before you remember again.

So it should be no surprise that Satan&Co. sign whatever they say, as well. Moreover, it should be no surprise that Satan&Co. ape the Divine Signature, but in an extremely precise way -- to tell you they, not God, are the instigators/ authors/ founders/ etc. of the item in question. This, because your ignorance is no excuse: you are Royal Family of God, and God has done all the due diligence. So you are at fault, not Satan&Co., if you 'buy' what they derisively sell.

Man might be tormented and influenced, etc. by Satan&Co., but it never happens apart from something man himself wanted which God in advance gave him both the ability to reject, and sufficient warning to reject. Positive side, the Cross. In the OT, Job, for example, wanted God: so, eventually got tested.

Negative side: Saul, for example, wanted to go against God, so got the psychotic episodes, administered by Satan&Co. (you know, where he suddenly goes on rampage, and David has to come play the harp). In the OT, you don't always see what advance notice God gave, but you do see that common sense would have forestalled any denouement. The satanic signature is to be interpreted as a type of warning from God. If you don't heed it, and instead get sucked into their schemes, any discipline you get is justly due you. It's not worth it!

For example, nowhere in Scripture is a Divine Signature, "I, the LORD God." That clause is in Joseph Smith's writings, though: i.e., Section 85 of the Doctrine and the Covenants. [Quoted in page 7 of Jon Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven]. By contrast, in the Bible, it's either "I, the LORD" -- "am" isn't usually in the original languages, but English translators put it in -- or "Thus says the LORD God" or "Thus says the LORD". (Not all the variations are listed: these two alone are in over 500 verses in the OT.)

Next, look for a Satirical Twist: if you know what the variation versus Scripture is, you know how to look for any possible twist. If no twist, then it's probably not directly satanic. Regarding "I, the LORD God", you know it's satanic because it correctly leaves out the verb English translators always insert, and because it adds "God" (last name, showing Trinity have identical essence). That latter addition thus constitutes a concatenation of two valid Divine Signatures, "I, the LORD" and "Thus says the LORD God". Notice what got cut out: "thus says". So it's not God speaking. Heh. Chopping out a little piece is a hallmark satanic salami tactic. (Done in Scripture translation, all the time.)

Joseph Smith couldn't know all this. But wait! Can't God concatenate His Own Signature? Yep, He can, but He wouldn't do it this way, cutting out "thus says". For, the "I, the Lord" is an actual end signature to a document (whatever the words were, just ended). By contrast, "Thus says the Lord God" is a preamble of Authorship (whatever the words will be, just following). So the concatenation effectively brackets, meaning nothing of what is said, is from God, since there is nothing between "I, the Lord" and, "God". Again, Joseph Smith couldn't know all this. So the "I, the LORD God" is immediately suspect as bogus.

See how it's Satan saying here that truth is s*it, making fun of Joseph Smith in the bargain. This passage is regarded by Mormons as a prophecy of Joseph Smith's ministry. Bet you not one in a million Mormons notices Section 85 maligns THEM, too. They see the words "fountain of truth", and think, "how beautiful". Not knowing, of course, the Bible's Greek. But, even in English, "bowels" is not a nice term, excepting the old catchphrase "bowels of mercy" (which is also an unnoticed insult, but hey). It's incredible how obvious Satan can be and how dead we are, to notice.

Oh, the entire Section 85 maligns Christ, for it instead gives both the scepter (OT and Revelation term for rulership) and "words, eternal words" (Christ is depicted as THE Word of God in both OT and NT, frequently) to a mere man (Joseph Smith). [It's a sly anti-semitic statement, as well, arguing that anyone Mormon is a true Jew. Surely the Mormons don't realize this slur?] Bible never ever talks like this about anyone but Christ (beginning with Jacob's deathbed blessing of Judah, Christ's human forebear). "Word" is stressed throughout Bible in the SINGULAR, not the plural, to indicate it's His Attribute Even As Human: "and The Word became flesh, and tabernacled/tented among us" is (corrected translation) a sample clause in John 1 (deliberate wordplay on His Indwelling the Temple).

Worse, this wording in Section 85 burlesques God's Attributes of Truth, Righteousness, and Love -- basically saying God is an arbitrary, emotional, tyrant, who just feels sorry for man and that's why He loves him. Get a life! Compare Section 85 to Ps89:14-15 and like passages (any study Bible will have cross references in the margins), see for yourself. Also look up "scepter" and "belly" verses even in the KJV. See the difference for yourself. It's bald; don't even need the original-language texts, to see how the "Moroni" mocks God. [Moroni is such a clever concatenation all by itself: the -oni ending in Hebrew is an affectionate suffix, as in "rabboni". Ends up meaning "Esteemed Demon", "Dear Demon", "My Beloved, Esteemed Demon". Joseph Smith just couldn't know all this, so Mormonism is not a hoax, but a demon-sponsored game, played at the very time when America was about to widely get its hands on the original-language texts of Scripture, owing to work going on in Europe at that very time.]

Another arcane technical point: to DECLINE the Name properly, matters. The term "LORD God" is rendered in LXX simply as "kurios", which is the equivalent of the Tetragrammaton (and thus is more like the Divine Signature). In Hebrew, it's the Ineffable Name (which we call Yahweh or Jehovah, vowel points were deleted from the Hebrew text long ago) + "Elohim", which is not declined when His Name is used with it. It is, however, always declined when in the signature: "I, the LORD your God", or "I, the LORD their God", etc. In the real Bible, you never see "the Lord God" in the first person as a signature: it's always third person, and a human is using the signature to attest to the origin of whatever he's saying. It's a legal form of witness, and is quite a serious thing: the one who claims to be speaking something God has said gets the death penalty if he's lying (see Jer28).

So: we have a forgery in Section 85, and a bald one, at that. The "twist" is that God is baldly being maligned, and the signature is a bald forgery, so Satan&Co. thumb their noses at both God and believers for being able to get away with such blasphemy.

This explanation needs improving, but I'll have to fix it later. There are more layers to this adulterated signature's meaning than said here, too. For now, suffice it to say that the average believer couldn't invent such cleverness, so the adulterated signature reveals a higher intelligence behind the writing, and it's not God's, because it blasphemes God. As you read on, you'll see other examples to help you better see what's meant here.

If what was said using Section 85 as an example was too arcane, try the following table. Because, the twisting on the Divine Signature, always means the horrible mocking message in the table...

The 'signature lines' of Satan&Co., are thus categorized like God's: a) outright attestation á la "Ani, Adonai", and b) CONTENT. In this latter category, we saw that God uses both Style Of Writing, as well as keywords, and.. the doctrines themselves, to create a whole 'body' of CONTENT you can certify when examining for Divine Authorship. These, of course, Satan&Co. ape as well, in whatever they do, write, orchestrate, etc.

We saw earlier the D-I-O-S (and, in Part IV, MEGA) Strategic characteristics. These also constitute Satan&Co.'s CONTENT signature, since these are the demonic doctrinal writing styles and doctrines employed to beguile mankind. Their goal is to hook you by your not knowing it, or (and sometimes especially) if you do know they are hooking you. To this end, they play the same story in metaphorical terms throughout the centuries, and all the metaphors involve some INVITATION for man to become god, or for man to use the supernatural: in short, an Invitation To Acquire Power.

It usually takes a mundane form, seemingly harmless. The more the supernatural is stressed and people thrill to it, the more blatant is man's acceptance of demonism: if you trace such interest through history, there's a direct correlation between a rapid rise of interest in the supernatural, and war. Of course, people who realize that Satan&Co. are playing a game with us but (stupidly!) think they can defeat Satan&Co. are just as hooked. In fact, they are the prime targets for all the propaganda: oh, see, we've exposed or exorcised (yeah, right) the demonboys, How Great We Are Because We Did That. So, the elect angels then groan: for such 'victory' means man makes himself as good as God (yeah, right). Score one for the Defense Shaitan.

Of course, Dracula (drakon, dragon, metaphor for Satan) and all manner of supernatural beating-evil movies do well at the box office for a reason: evil, and beating it, are more interesting than good. Good, is dull. Why wasn't Lassie the defender of mankind rather than a dragon ("Dragonheart" movie), huh? Why is it evil is always made cute, cuddly, alluring? Hmmm -- maybe a replay of Satan's Gen3 temptation to the woman? Yeah, baby: money and interest flow freely for any idea about supermen, psychic/astrological powers, getting messages from the dead (not too hard for a demon to mimic your dead gramma). All this, because even a mere movie about victory over another makes us feel less insecure; THE hallmark characteristic of the sin nature is an unremitting sense of insecurity: Satan&Co. tap into it well. After all, the only reason everyone hates the Gospel is that it first tells us we are helpless and ugly: we can't hear the rest (how God loves us anyway), afterwards.

Gee whiz, but isn't God even more powerful, so even more attractive? So, don't you wonder how popular studying Bible in the original languages should be, by comparison? After all, if we've gone through loads of money and elaborate effort to eat up all books about Dracul (aka Vlad the Impaler, aka Satan using a historical person to promote demonism), what about eating up real books about The real God? Well, in the 1950's and afterward, seminaries reduced the graduation requirement with respect to Biblical language: cute touch, when 1950 was the year in which, for the first time in all Christian history, a massive trove of ancient Greek grammar texts were found in the Middle East. Still, even that discovery, which required rewriting all we knew of Biblical Greek Grammar, couldn't compete with the SUBSTITUTED requirement: 'community service' and other social-gospel activity.

Think of the import: here was a discovery which should have sent everyone panting to know Scripture in the original languages, since we no longer had to settle for fuzzy grammars; here, about one century after the most fabulous original-language texts (MSS, manuscripts) in history were pieced together through Tischendorf, Tregelles, and similar courageous souls; here, when finally ALL the elements we needed to verify Scripture's inerrancy and meaning are in one place -- so what do we do? reduce the requirement to study Biblical Hebrew and Greek!

In favor of what? Of making a pastor do community service? Can't the members of the church do that? Whyever must a man who has the gift to teach Scripture shun the very languages of Scripture to hold someone's hand? Does that make sense? It does to Satan&Co., hardy har har. So seminaries turned out a whole bunch of folks from the 1950's onward who wouldn't know Biblical Greek if it bit them. Instead, simpering, incorrect, distorted and downright blasphemous books/CDs/videos by the truckload are sold as fast as they are unloaded. Score Two for the Defense.

The plot portrayed in these myriads of metaphorical ways is always the same: their epic fantasy of beating God. Every non-Bible holy book has some or all of that story in it (Satan&Co. casting themselves as both the good guys and the bad guys). Every set of cultural stories, norms, complaints and compliments echoes it. Satan rules this world and thus the world reflects him.

So the solution is not to crusade, condemn movies and ideas which are satanic; not to go attacking our fellow humans: but instead, to Learn Bible Doctrine (see Eph6, 1Pet1-3, 2Pet3, 1Jn1 and 4, John14, many passages). As we saw in Parts III and IV, what defeats Satan&Co. is the completion of the Body of Christ: that, only God does. So we rest, just like Israel rested, watching the deliverance from the Lord in all battles. So, then: to learn Doctrine means, in part, learning the doctrine of how Satan&Co. operate, so you don't fall into their many traps: especially, since the foremost trapping device they use, is religion.

1. Some verse/doctrine/ concept in Bible is satirized in a very pointed way. This is by far the most important signature characteristic. Problem is, most people are so dumb about Doctrine, they don't "get" it. That, of course, is why people get sucked into satanic schemes -- the indictment against them is that they don't know doctrine. Manifested, by the fact that the bald satire played against them, goes unrecognized BY them. When we get to the Tactical Examples below, you'll see just how universal, bald, and embarrassing this is to all mankind (believer and unbeliever alike). Later on in this webpage is a "Lie Detection Matrix" you can use to more quickly spot the signature, so avoid embarrassment at the Bema.
   However, this first and foremost signature characteristic primarily reflects their own attitude toward the Son. It's a form of them 'talking' to and about Him. Their upset, their admiration, their hatred of humans, all these factors -- are deeply and deftly woven in their satires. They realize quite well that we don't 'get' the hey-dummy-we-are-demons- pretending-to-be-God message they convey. So, we aren't the primary reason for the satire. We just come along for the ride. Satan&Co. are out for revenge against the Son. They are crazy (in an extremely brilliant way -- insanity doesn't mean stupid), they are upset, they are fixated -- on Him.

   Thus, they are positively obsessed with satirizing the Bible. The Bible as they know it is far and away more sophisticated than Christendom even imagines -- so Satan&Co. make their satires based on fully known, true doctrines in the original languages. So, the more you study Scripture in the original, using 1Jn1:9, under your right pastor -- the more you will 'see' their plays in anything in life. [My pastor stresses 1Jn1:9 usage until the congregation wants to vomit. He's absolutely right about doing that. I'm trying to emulate his repetition, every chance it comes up. It saves your life, down here. For, then you are filled with the Spirit! Defensively, using 1Jn1:9 frequently will protect you or disengage you from excessive interest concerning satanic doctrines, schemes, orchestrated events, thought-transference, 'evidence of the supernatural', etc. ad nauseam.]

   So when evaluating this first item, speed the search and look first for fixation on Scripture; it will be slapstick, abusive, and obvious to anyone with a smattering of Doctrine, as demonic. It's intended to be obvious. So you have to positively hate God (disinterest is the coldest form of hatred), to miss it. Hitler, for example, was fixated; and of course in his case, demonic anti-semitism (Major Tactic, covered below) was the entrée. God's explanation of anti-semitism is one of the most obvious doctrines in Bible, in any translation: Genesis 12, the prophecies against Israel's enemies, Rev12, are all patent. So to believe in anti-semitism, you must hate Christ (Who is Jewish -- Son of David? -- by the way).

   So Hitler exercised the most egregious public misuses of Bible to support his anti-semitic claims. For example, what he said about Moses was positively incredible -- as if Moses was leading an international conspiracy of Jewry; notes for one of his speeches treated the Diaspora as a conspiracy by Jews -- oh, the hundreds of prophecies about its nature and cause (whole books, even, like Jeremiah and Ezekiel) meant nothing? Truly stupid uses, treating God like He didn't exist; yet millions of German Catholics and Protestants, followed Hitler? Proof positive that love for God was absent.

   They will pick Big Doctrines commonly-known to parade the fixation, and it will have a 'gathering' of fanatical adherents. Because, they don't want anyone to miss how stupid it is: this is a back-handed compliment to Bible's God being the True God. Further, they will by the satirization, tell you why you also hate God, if you believe it. The Hitler example is obvious. But the prolife crusade and the anti-gay movement are just as anti-Biblical, which alike demanding laws Bible clearly prohibits (guess no prolifer reads Exo21:22). The Dome of the Rock fulfills Dan9:26, but no one notices, lol (see Part IVa). Most religious rituals, tabooism, food observances, dress observances are so incredibly insane, their anti-Biblicity is almost an asterisk. For if God ordered us to wear hats to church to be holy, um.. then Why was there a Cross? See? Satan&Co. burlesque our hatred of God and His Bible with loud and flashy stuff like that. But we count ourselves most holy, when we are most ridiculous.

   They also like to pick subtle stuff and parade it softly, as if intellectual; which is "loud" in the sense that it sticks out as illogical. But, without fanfare. Evolution is one such example: it's designed to mock God's Transmutation Plan, e.g., in Eph3:15-19 and Rom12:1-3 (Greek), Isa53:10-12 (BHS+LXX, not just one or the other). See, they know Bible; so they know what to mock, and they mock us for not knowing, since we have Omnipotence via the Spirit, available to us, PLUS the original-language texts (inspired ones) of Bible. Hence the back-handed compliment, yet insult, against God.

   In short, the advertisement here is their attitude. It's a Hey-See-Me opening salvo.

2. From here, they get kinda subtle and cute: playing on our ignorance of the past, and our disinclination to analyse the present in light of the past. Hence, their wordplays always include aspects of GREEK PANTHEONIC CULTURE, and any text/statements will display (varying degrees of) STUDIED AMBIGUITY á la the Delphic Oracle. Greek pantheonic culture is really a demon biography, glorifying the days of Genesis 6, which was a real invasion of the human gene pool, when they came the closest to wiping out the human race (only 8 unmixed humans left).
   See, unlike the many goofy (or titillating, gee whiz) ideas about what Genesis 6 meant, the truth is plain, even in the English of that passage: it was a military tactic to procreate with human females and end solely-human genes. For, if negative volition was so high such that demons were the more attractive; for, if there were no purely-humans remaining, there could be no pure Humanity of Christ; then, the Trial would have been won by the Defense. (Human sins have to be paid for by a human, get it?) (Demons could procreate with humans, but were not supposed to, under the terms of the Trial. So, those who did that in Gen6, got locked up in Tartarus, for they broke Trial rules. Look up "Tartarus" verses, Heb2:2 (though that verse is multilevel, not just about Gen6) and Jude 6.]

   So just as Satan's Fall was, "I will MAKE MYSELF like the Most High" (Isa14:13-14), so also the pitch to man: man can make himself like the 'gods'. This most-alluring pitch is itself satire of the highest order, since, as we just saw above in the "Script Target" subsection, God's Plan is to make man like the Most High. However, only God can do that. Which fact gets deftly cut out, of course.
   That's why the stress on Gen6-type methods, which on the one hand are crass (phallic cult and drugs, e.g., the riotous rituals of Cybele and Dionysus), but on the other, 'refined' (so-called high-thinking philosophies, of which evolution is really one, going all the way back to the ancient Chinese, and later, Aristotle). Thus is satirized God's Salvation Plan, which of course was announced back in the Garden, when Adam fell: so, from Gen6 to animism to gnosticism/ reincarnation to Greek gods to its current 'stripe', evolution, Satan&Co. keep on selling the same old story, make-self-god. We learn from history that we learn nothing from history.

   So globally, the basic god-concepts we might call "Greek" have thus long been prevalent. Bible, though, focuses a lot on the Greek versions, especially in the NT, because Greek Drama language and concepts are very frequently used for teaching purposes in the NT. Remember, the NT believers who grew well spiritually were mostly not Jewish, so needed to be taught God's thought which had been expressed Jewishly -- by linkups to Greek counterparts. Moreover, Israel was founded by driving out Greek sea peoples. (Canaanites, Philistines=Palesset, and is Greek, not Arab) So a lot of that culture was already quite old and useful for Biblical analogies. Finally, the LXX was considered the infallible text (maybe not alone), and many Jews in Palestine were 'fluent' in it, so the Greek words in it were directly referenced by the NT writers: comparing Scripture everyone knew with new Scripture being penned. So, given Signature Characteristic #1, Satan&Co. avidly make wordplays, concept-plays, on the Greek gods and Greek culture, and on gnosticism.
   The current tongues movement is a classic example. See, the Cybele and Dionysus cults, as well as the famous Oracles (the speaker of which was a Python or more often female, a Pythia) -- these always stressed "ecstatic utterance". An engastrimuthos (Bible term, means "ventriloquist") demon would possess/influence the worshipper and the worshipper would fancy hearing and talking to the gods. Oh, and the talking was a sign of favor, to be empowered by the gods' and speak their language! Greek word for this 'talking' is "lalew", a mindless talking, idea of merely mouthing something someone else really was saying. Hence, the term came to mean "gossip". Or, in the Bible, talking in "tongues". It was as old a practice, as Mycenaean Greece itself, and in Moses' Day was already quite popular.

   During the rites, people would get drunk on wine or drug themselves; hence would follow rape, murder, human and other sacrifice, etc. It was very destructive, and very institutionalized. Greek concept was katharsis, emptying, so to become pure again. (There was an ascetic counterpart to this, as well.) So, the Corinthians, who while unbelievers had been very much a part of this compulsory rite, were very thrilled to speak in tongues via the Holy Spirit. So Paul, in the Greek of 1Cor13:1 and 14:22 makes reference to their former preoccupation. Proving that tongues was NOT for that purpose, but rather to evangelize the unbelieving Jew. And that, because the selfsame rites were the hallmark of being a "goy" even back in Isaiah's day (Isa 28:1-12); their speech resembled a drunk's, to Jewish ears. Hence, the Bible's use of tongues was restricted to warning Israel that the nation was about to be destroyed, just as Isaiah had forecast (double-entendre -- Isa28 is about Samaria, but also about the future end of Judah, in AD70).

   So, ever since Jerusalem was destroyed, tongues cease, as Paul explained in 1Cor13:1-14:24. So, ever since Jerusalem was destroyed, Satan&Co. pretend tongues continue, since they know it's just another version of Cybele etc. all over again, and oh boy they still wanna PLAY! So to now, just as back then.. drive people crazy. Man can't take the supernatural, as explained in Part III's "Third Reason for Invisibility". That's why God took on Humanity, to make it possible for mankind to really know God intimately -- via His Human Thinking. But to magic-lovers, learning the REAL God is no fun. Blithering is better. Bilauw Bilauw, as Isaiah would say (28:10-13). Samaria wore away, as tribute, under the Assyrians. [Bela+belo=bilauw, my concatenation of the two words; both of them are Aramaic, latter is a loan word from Assyrian. Isaiah uses similar sounding drawl-speech, but not those exact words.]

   This blithering is expanding into every sector of thought. Psychics are used to help police; we make "Dragonheart", a movie for CHILDREN which (unbeknownst to its makers) portrays Satan as a RISING star (rather than a fallen one, cute) in the form of a DRACO who was the last of his kind (sigh here); upon whose demise at the end of the film, he rises to watch over mankind. Did no one notice that blatant replacement of the Most High God? Oh no: the only priest in the film was a poet and a dufus, and God was -- well, only mentioned obliquely, in a DERISIVE and OBVIOUS MISquote of the commandment, "thou shalt not murder" (film says "kill", bad translation of the Hebrew or LXX). The DRAGON was portrayed as the Savior, get it? Did no one think? Of course not.

   Just as the Jewish Encyclopedia recounts, people have been very attentive to angelology, even going so far as to invent names for each of the many angels (this is yet another mutation of the god myths, which were not myths). Oh, and these humans think they can invoke an angel -- nice touch, make man have a god's power that way. All this attention to angels, all this fascination, yet not one English translation of the Bible is right with respect to even 1st-year seminary grammar! Yeah, we're the ones with half-dragon hearts. No interest in God, just the angels. Wow. If we spent 1/100th the time learning God as we do learning dragons and angels, we'd all be at Spiritual Adulthood. Of course, the ancient Greeks before us loved those same things, just as much. Power and sex, baby, plus a nice moral whitewash to justify it all. Unbeatable combination: God can't even compete for a nanosecond.

   Thus Mycenaean Greek culture fathered them all; even Oriental cultures have the same gods, once you adjust for nuances. So, the Greek fathered the Roman, and the Roman (which copied Sparta and Attica), was the most highly-mature demonic culture developed to-date. Rome managed to do what the Greek city-states never managed -- to forge a composite political homogeny. Please remember, that for most of man's time on this planet, his cultures have been (and continue to be) horrendously cruel. Institutionalized cruelty, actually. The society which best managed to 'fit' the Janus-faces of cruelty, war and self-glorification -- that society, lived the longest in peace.

   So, where Sparta failed, Rome succeeded. What made Rome 'work' was a careful pairing of virtue and vice, to appeal to that cruelty, in such a way that even the conquered peoples came to ape Rome; the mix adopted achieved a high stabilization rate largely because vice had authorized outlets (Bacchus, the games, warring, orgies, etc). So long as one agreed with Rome's definitions, one had a relatively free life, even if a slave. This isn't to say life was utopian: far from it. Rather, there was an agreed-upon mix between right-and-wrong, each having an authorized place. So, too, with the worship of the 'gods'. It was carefully blasé, serving more to unite society than to actually honor any beings. Lukewarm. So long as you 'observed', you were considered proper. Too much interest, or too little attention paid to form, and you were criticised, ostracized, executed.

   Since the Roman culture is child of Greek, and since Rome was really the 'greater son' to Greece, Satan&Co. continually seek to RECREATE the Roman Empire, for that is what most stably hooks humanity. Just as its predecessors did, from Gen6 through Babylon. Same ol' story, lots of new dresses and tresses. Harlots must look good, y'know...

   So in anything of demonic design, you will find two tenets sourced in this Greek-style, demonic-signature element: 1) sex contrary to the Adam-Isha design is at least 'okay', and 2) Greek-style intellectual wordplay and rationalisation, with a lot of recourse to 'higher' power. Idea is, this intellectualization makes you like the gods. That was signature for Plato's school; Bible tweaks both it and the gnostics. So, Satan&Co., tweak back by promoting such thinking. [Nerd Note: Adam, husband, male; Isha, wife, female. Not more than the two, and not outside marriage. Not with others. Not with animals, nor with same-sex. Not, obviously, with demons.]

   These twin tenets will play large and small. Large, in cultural Trends; you'll see it most readily in media presentations (TV, cable, radio, movies). This large-scale media-heavy bombardment is a herding device, so of course everyone IN the media, are clueless (sorry, conspiracy buffs). Satan&Co. are also kind enough to arrange hostility against the trends, so the larger evil of the religions so arrayed, look 'holy' -- but yet have the exact same characteristics as the trends they seek to put down! (For example, ascetic religious attitudes toward marital sex are just as much anti-God's design, as lasciviousness. The religious stress on children-are-your-happiness, is totally anti-Biblical.) So count on the apostate religions (all of them are apostate, including the Christian ones) to fight a holy war. Bin-Laden's type of Islam, for example, is seeking to do that.

   The small side of their Greco-Roman signatures, is just for fun: they will use easily-traceable keywords and key concepts in the Greco-Roman culture, or thinly-veiled allusions, but then pretend at the same time, some non-Greco-Roman idea is depicted. This was a giant surprise to discover. Most commonly, they do this 'small' playing respect to holy books and 'supernatural manifestations' like UFO's, ghosts, spirits from beyond, etc. Why don't the people caught up in that stuff, catch on to the universal Greco-Roman flavor of it? How can a UFO, a ghost, and a spirit from beyond, all be "Apollo"? Even the same names and characteristics of those 'gods' are used: either blatantly, as just mentioned; or, in simple anagrams. More about this cute, gratuitous tactic follows in the Tactical Examples.

   It's not as though we aren't familiar with Greek and Roman mythology. We were all taught it, in school. Yet it's the intellectuals who get the most hooked on this nonsense. Instead of noticing the obvious, that the 'aliens' are demons (after all, they are telling us that blatantly by using Greek gods' descriptions, which Bible tells us flatly are demons). Instead of wondering why the commonality is portrayed in so contradictory a manner -- would an E.T. also be a dead human ghost with the SAME characteristics? -- these intellectuals posit that the commonality is intended (yes, dummy); and that commonality's the proof their idea of the nature of these beings, is accurate; with lots of stress on how these beings, actually exist.

   So, when you find out what they say that "nature" is, you universally find the description to be exactly like the Bible describes demons: impish, duplicitous, vague, stringing-you-along, fancy power displays, make you feel good, attractive, etc. Every primitive or voo-dooer who's never even heard of ancient Greece, would nonetheless recognize the same universal "gods" characteristics. Every schoolchild knows enough about demons being supernatural to see the similarity, however skewed his ideas are by the red-horns-and-gargoyle images. Of course 'aliens' exist: they are demons, Mr. Starry-Eyed Intellectual.. get it? Oh well.

   So this small side grabs millions of folks. The mediums, the channelers (who have a special room at the U.N.!), the UFOers, the ghost and spirits people -- many of them do have real evidence. But of WHAT KIND of being? Why do they swallow what they are told? Well, it's not like they aren't told by the Greco-Roman nomenclature, where to look for the answer. See, if you wanna believe a lie, the truth will look like a lie, even when it's blatantly told you by the very liars, themselves. Oh, how we are mocked.

   Greeks have long been famous for their intellectuality, and the wordgames they can play; another common term for this skill is "Byzantine" . So if you see some clever wordplay of a Greco-Roman nature coupled with a claim of supernaturality, no matter what the source is claimed to be, run away as fast as you can. It's a hook which has always worked, is very compelling, and you are blatantly told it's demonic.

3. The SATIRE with reference to the ideas of "God" or worship of Him, is BALDLY SLAPSTICK. "Slapstick" is an American name for a style of comedy long popular in many cultures. In England, "Benny Hill" is slapstick; "Oliver & Hardy" or "Three Stooges" or bop'em cartoons (like RoadRunner), in America; in Spanish, on Univision or Telemundo this kind of comedy plays on Saturday nights (I forget the show's title: it's the one with set characters, not standup comics). Each country has its own 'silly-comedy' version. Clownish. That's what "slapstick" means.

   It's truly astonishing how we don't catch on to the slapstick nature of our many faiths in 'god'. If you peruse the "God is Not Magic" link on the Home Page, you should be able to notice that all of the magical ideas there are laughable.

   Frankly, slapstick's the first characteristic I seek, to save time in diagnosis. Look: people can be quite silly and evil on their own, without demonic help. Yet, rare is the person who unknowingly makes fun of himself or his group. Rarer still, is the person whose slapstick thinking/behavior is unrecognized as such, by him. So, when one sees blatant, slapstick humor which goes unrecognized by those who are doing it or are victims of it -- some form of demon activity is puppeting the slapstick.

   At its 'refined' end the slapstick meaning is not only unrecognized, but is rather touted as virtuous(!) by its proponents (viz., environmentalists and evolutionists, any religion): with arguments which, if you don't think about them too much, actually sound reasonable. At the crass end, of course, the obviousness of the slapstick quality isn't at all masked. So to detect the former requires one ask, "What SENSE does this argument make, within itself?" From there, one detects the mockery and parody.

   Then there are the hybrids: it's crass, side-splitting funny the clothing of most ecumenical priests, for example. Those same priests, though, actually seem by tone and manner to be rational human beings -- until you hear what arguments, lines-of-dogma they advance. Then, you have to ask yourself if they are either lying, or too dumb to live. Come on, indulgences? Say a few hail Marys and you get a better slot in Purgatory? Come on, yarmulkes and payess? Bet Moses never wore one, and had no sideburns. Yet, for thousands of years, the devout of such sects actually and with a straight face can defend such dress and dogma? Pick any religion you like: you'll find so much slapstick in it, you might not stop laughing for days!

4. Their SATIRE BALDLY MOCKS THOSE WHO BELIEVE what supernaturality or higher-power claim they sell. This mocking is painfully obvious, once you are familiar with keywords in the Bible. Here, focus is on bald advertisement that since Satan exists, Bible's God surely must exist. Yet, people still say, "Where's God? He should prove Himself!"
   So in this Signature Element of their mocking, stress is on how they actually admire Christ: for the mocking is done to us to spank us for not respecting Him. Of course, their admiration doesn't rise to the level of 'repentance' -- but one can admire his self-chosen enemy.

   Chief giveaway characteristic here will be some man-becomes-god fallacy. It's closely linked with the #3 Signature characteristic satirical belief, itself; so there's a lot of overlap. So to claim lighting a candle garners you supernatural Divine Favor, is a fallacy: mocking the belief itself as well as the believer. Here, though, stress will be made on what IS true, by contrast. The type of fallacy, if reversed, tells you what the truth is. With respect to the candle, you are being informed that you are a fool to think any ritual wins you Divine Favor. So no magic movements, potions, incantations, work, and you're an idiot to think they do. For the non-religious crowd, you'll see this banging take the form of stress on owning things, having degrees, besting someone in an election, a job, a game. It's oh-so-important. What with all the banging, you think we'd tune out or catch on, since we all know advertising lies. We tune out commercials, but not these things: odd, huh.

   So they BANG THE DRUM LOUDLY on all the silly stuff being REQUIRED and somehow MAGICAL. By this banging, they tell the world how none of these things are important. Kinda like they did when having a demon-possessed woman precede Paul, proclaiming who he was; same, for the Lord (so He told them to be quiet). They are not lying, but are using the lie to bang into the heads of those believing it, that it is a lie. See? They play both sides, they hate us so much: one side, selling us the lie with all the seduction power they can juridically get away with; then, on the other side, telling us why it's a lie. They hook people into polarized groups that way, so it's all win-win, from their perspective. We don't have an excuse, though. We love the lie, and buy it: no one forces us to do that.

   So for the same reasons, they love to bang the drum on themselves, and likewise portray themselves in goofy ways; by this you know what they are not. Of course, this goofy banging thus portrays supernaturality itself as goofy (so you are told it is not goofy, but true). So if you believe that they are goofy, that supernaturality is goofy, YOU are the one being mocked. It's a nice touch that they motivate use of the Jewish Encyclopedia to craft most movie and book plots about angels. See the fixation on Bible, and hence the Jews? Of course, they can't resist also deliberately defaming angels who sided with God in the prehistoric Trial, like Gabriel and Michael. Also compare the Biblical description versus the other pseudo-biblical and non-biblical 'holy' resources, myths, oral traditions. Then practice REVERSING the 'message' in those resources, and see if you don't get a more-Biblical interpretation. Finally, note how consistent is the goofy portrayal in all the resources; how consistent is the pointing-to-Bible once you reverse the portrayals. One mind is very clearly behind all these diverse pointings-to-Bible, and it's not God's mind, huh...

5. ALL-AT-ONCE and FINELY-HONED WIT: this is extremely subtle, yet definitive. This Signature Element is mostly reserved for large bodies of written or oral material: like a holy book, 'prophet' or cult leader speeches, philosophical or 'scientific' treatise. You'd have to be a specialist in Scripture, for example, to detect this Signature Element in Bible mistranslation. For, Satan&Co.'s concept-play, wordplay plus interweaving of the above four items is phenomenal, all woven like a Temple Veil! around key Bible Doctrines.

   Take this very small example in Bible: Genesis 3:11a in translation reads (in any language, but here English is used), "Who TOLD you that you were naked?" That's a mistranslation. Proper translation should be, "Who DENOUNCED you for being naked?" Now, if you do not know the end of Genesis 2 a few verses back ("they were naked and not ashamed"), you might miss the DENOUNCING in the mistranslation. The mistranslation makes it sound like either a) God LIED to them about being naked, or b) God HID from them the fact they were naked. So by turning the proper translation of "DENOUNCED" into mere "TOLD", God gets denounced in the very verse with the very verb that means "denounce"! Tell me what human is so smart. Tell me that any translator would be so vilely clever. And there are thousands of these clever mistranslations all over translated Bibles from as far back as 1550, in EVERY language I can read with a handy dictionary (French, Spanish, Portuguese, English, and some others). No human lives 500 years, so the same consistent wordgames are not being played by a human being. So keep this example of consistent deftness in mind, when you look at your Bible translations; when you read any holy book; when you go through the Tactical Examples (which are bare sketches, like this paragraph, of Satan&Co. wit).

   This entire Appendix would not exist but for the constant run-ins with this #5 category, Satan&Co. wit. So, after it kept popping up in the pattern of Bible mistranslations thousands of times, I started to recognize the D-I-O-S pattern (Satan's Grand Strategy section, above). So, I began to wonder if other 'holy' stuff had the same characteristics. Sure enough: the Tactical Examples are but a few samples, so you too can see the pattern repeat faithfully, across a very broad spectrum of agents, time, formats. Hence this entire Script Signature section and its seven characteristics Ha! Play on Divine Perfection number!

   No human could be this clever. As you go through the Examples of Koran and Book of Mormon, it will become very obvious that the humans used could not possibly be capable of such games. Of course, the humans generally don't know what's going on, either. Then, even when they have some dim awareness (e.g., author of Mothman Prophecies), they still don't get the depth of the wit. Like Scripture, demonic concept-play operates vertically as well as horizontally, on many floors/levels AT ONCE. It takes even a trained human a long time to analyze, say, Shakespeare -- how much longer, to analyze demonic play or, especially, The Word? Only the Holy Spirit can make the analysis needed, work.

   But, if the human is an unbeliever, he doesn't want the Holy Spirit; if the believer is carnal, he doesn't want the Holy Spirit. So, is rightly prey for whatever witty mocking Satan&Co. play upon him. What sops we are, caving into the cheap glitter of the supernatural, instead of craving to learn Him Who is our very life? Why do we opt for Philippians 3:19, a verse no one translates rightly ("belly" in Greek is figurative for emotion), instead of 1:21 (also translated wrongly -- no verb in verse because Paul is shouting)? LOL, if we can't even get 1st-year Greek right in translation (the translation errors are avoidable, since you learn these meanings in 1st year seminary Greek) -- how will we catch on to such sophisticated wordplay by Satan&Co., right in our faces?

   The Mothman Prophecies is a good example, since (unlike The Bible), everyone knows something about it. More about the book follows in this webpage. For now, let's just focus on one teeny repeated phrase 'Indrid Cold' liked to use: the "see you in time" catchphrase. Sure, it's tempting to think that Derenberger was crazy, or made it up. Ok: but how could Derenberger know that the frequent usage of "see..in time" in the SINGULAR, not plural:

   • is a play on two Bible verses in the GREEK, 2Cor2:14 and Col2:15? The two together, plus their associated GREEK wordplays in other verses, fit together the 1st and 2nd Advents, with stress on the rounding up of demons one-on-one in a triumphal procession (play on the Roman practice) at the 2nd Advent?
   • Which, if anyone reads clearly the GREEK of Ephesians1 and 2, is the whole point of time, Father's setting up a Body for Christ to set up a Body for His King-Priesthood to serve Father forever?

   • I don't know of a pastor except my own who even teaches the rare Greek verbs, and thus these doctrines. Yet back in 1967 "Indrid Cold" sure referenced 'em when he kept on saying he'd see his hearer "in time". Yeah, as distinguished from eternity. Yeah, one-on-one, at the 2nd Advent, when we come back with Christ. Until then, angels won't be visible to us. (Demons will be visible again in the Trib, which is not 'our' "time".) Bear in mind that Derenberger was/is a BELIEVER, so would indeed SEE whoever "Indrid" really is, "in time": not OUR time, the Church Age; but in time.. at the Second Advent.

   • Moreover, who would recognize that Bible DISPENSATION keyword, rendered in English Bibles as "time", representing at least one of five Greek words for it (often mistranslated "worlds" in KJV)? As in, "a time, times, and half a time" in Daniel, yet another layer of meaning in that prophecy. Note the precision of the phrase. Daniel's was one Dispensation (Jewish Age), so is the first meaning of "time" in that phrase; then, "times", meaning at least two Dispensations (1st Advent, +Church -- see Ephesians and Luke 21:24, because there's an overlap with "times of the Gentiles", which is Church+official Trib). Lastly, "half a time", aka the "Great Tribulation", is the last half of the official Tribulation, the scant seven years before the 2nd Advent. (Bible in both OT and NT differentiates between the official Trib as a whole, and its last half, often stressing the last half, which is the greatest period of anti-Semitism in all history.)

     So yeah, all believers will see "Indrid" (whoever he really is) "in time". But, not in eternity, since Satan&Co. go to the Lake of Fire. But, not 'our' time, our Dispensation, the Church, also called "now" in NT epistles: during Church Age, Trial terms dictate that demons/angels are all INVISIBLE. (Read Heb1 and 11:1 carefully. There are other verses on deliberate invisibility: I'll put them in here later when I've time.) So, then: how clever of "Indrid" baby to leave out the possessive "our", don't you think? Tell me Derenberger was smart enough to make up that phrase. Tell me John Keel was smart enough to make it up. Yeah, right.

     [Nerd Note: never stand pat on an interpretation. Conventional interp of Daniel 7:25's wording is in years, interpreting these three occurrences (in LXX) of common Greek Dispensational keyword "kairos" as 3.5 years. But there's always more than one layer of meaning, such that all of them are true on different levels. The macro-span interpretation of Dan 7:25's & 12:7's "times" posited here is just one added layer, hypothesized to show how deft wordplay can be. Of course, Satan&Co. know Scripture way better than we do: no wonder an "Indrid Cold" can make plays on its meaning, with the poor human being none the wiser.]

     So, now ask yourself: how is it possible for a human to make up such a catchphrase, especially in 1967? Pretending to be an alien lifeform -- right, demons are aliens, compared to humans. Note how Derenberger's life was wrecked by that encounter (he didn't die, unlike the movie). Look how Keel's life was wrecked (see his book's Appendix). Typical effect of demon involvement: after they play with you, your life is a wreck. Predictable as the sunrise.

6. Satan&Co. always use strong emotional 'hooks' as a SUBSTITUTE for Truth, to 'validate' what they sell. The hooks are simultaneously physical (i.e., appeal to one's sexuality), and mental (i.e., appeal to one's sense of insecurity); often (but not always) one 'hook' category is made obvious as a DECOY for the other to get in undetected. Satan&Co. also specialize in Overexposing or Underexposing people to truth (or reality), to help foster emotional reaction and insanity.

   This #6 will take some explaining, since we humans have no clue how our emotions puppet our lives. We might as well not have brains, our emotions so fuel our thinking. Satan&Co. know this well, and puppet our emotions to their tunes. Sending us nicely over the edge, away from any learning about God.

   Soul can't take the wrong dose of truth: positive volition is really needed, and God mediates the flow of truth to the soul, so as not to overtax it. That's essentially why, pre-Incarnation, the Lord's prescriptions for spirituality were mediated via physicalities, like rituals and flashy miracles; post-incarnation, because His Humanity's Soul literally BECAME the Truth via the HS' infusion of Divine Thinking, we now can get the fantastic Intimacy of Direct Divine Thought, as depicted by the NT's mathematical/logical language style. Thus, NOW mediation is via Scripture, alone. We don't need physicalities, hence don't need flashy miracles, ritual, do's, etc. as teaching/training aids. When you have more INvisible truth, you need less VISIBLE proof of God. The two need to stay IN BALANCE, or you'll go wacko. Man just can't TAKE supernaturality, and Truth itself is Divine and hence Supernatural By Nature. That's why learning Bible in God's System is a Supernatural Act, 100% run by the Holy Spirit. So, since Satan&Co. know this fact, they manipulate in order to IMBALANCE, by careful over- and under-exposure to supernaturality; and especially, to Truth.

   So, when volition is negative, the negative-to-God person basically authorizes this imbalance. Hence, Satan&Co. are free to over- or under-expose the person to (slanted/sleighted/ slighted) truth. Overexposure examples in Bible: where the demons shout who Christ is, and He hushes them up; in Acts, where the demon-possessed woman runs in front of Paul, so he exorcises the demon to shut him up. Supernaturality come-ons are a bid to hook believers into overexposure, as well: the Mothman Prophecies story below will be an example of it. Underexposure is more obvious: persecution, hiding of Scripture in Vatican and elsewhere for centuries, etc.

   See, due to Adam's Fall, the body we are born with, is incompatible with the soul God makes and creates at human birth. Part II covered this point in great detail (i.e., the whys). The soul is the CPU, at least at first: the brain is the interface for the soul. [Not sure this is the best analogy. Will replace it later when I think of a better one.] So, the human soul isn't good at taking shock, once it has given into the depraved body urge (happens sometime in early childhood or infancy); a soul thus trashed is positively incapable, despite free will, of discerning Truth. This, because "good and evil" knowledge connectors replaced whatever genetic truth connections there were, at Adam's fall. Thus, our genetic brain 'wiring' is kitted out for good-and-evil 'reasoning', which is incompatible with the 'connections' in Truth. Think of the genetic result of Adam's Fall, as a brain-change from a perfect (oh I wish) Windows operating system.. to an abacus. So, it's a shock to the human soul, to confront truth, to hear truth, and especially.. to admit truth. So, emotion, being a feeling which one can notice, 'passes' for truth: especially, in a good-and-evil 'reasoning' brain.

   Example: as we saw earlier, the two facets of Righteousness 'add up' to a conclusion that self so Loves Righteousness, self applies the righteous standards to self, not to externals; so self, not the externals, must meet the standards; that the externals do or do not, is 'extra'. In the mutation of good-and-evil, this essential conclusion is REVERSED -- externals, not self, must meet the first facet. Self also reverses the quest to meet the standards by claiming the standards are met by self: hence the DEMAND (another reversal) for everything and everyone else to 'do for' the self, in deference to the self's merit, usu. with some past or present action as the justification for the merit claim. That mis-wiring due to the Fall also displays (another mutation) as the perpetual-victim syndrome so popular in the US, today. Self is the victim, and that is why self is not good -- it's someone else's fault. Like, God's.

   Alternatively, emotion hooks up with the sin-in-Adam insecurity/rejection reflex to conclude self is special. A great book showing how believers can misuse doctrine is in Jon Krakauer's Under the Banner: you can search on the title or his name in Dogpile for some details. In that book, Krakauer, who is sympathetic to Mormonism, traces a 1984 murder 'God' supposedly ordered two Mormon men to commit against their sister-in-law and her baby. If you read past the lurid details (don't plan any other activity within the next 24 hours, because the book is too engrossing to put down), you will find out how all Christians get into activism, how there can be a Hitler to lead them. For, once the Bible is discarded as the sole criterion for God's revelation of Himself, anything can act as a substitute: just add emotion. So, it can become perfectly reasonable that God would mysteriously order one to kill his sister-in-law, because, hey -- closing my eyes and typing one 'inspired' letter at a time, a whole coherent 'prophecy' or 'message' comes out on the computer screen! Wowee. After a few dozen of those, any message will look like it's from God. That, my friend, was why those two innocents were murdered by their own kin.

   Good-and-evil 'reasoning' doesn't mean that truth is not used. It does mean that 'truth' is sliced, diced, mashed, and otherwise mangled in processing. So, a person still has 'common sense', but.. it suddenly stops operating, or suddenly goes crazy. Emotion accomplishes most of this mangling. When it comes to the topic of "God", the inherent dissociation we inherited from Adam blocks even common sense. It's a defense mechanism. So, we are naturally blank about God, so don't naturally think of Him. So, when we do manage to squeeze a thought through, it goes in goofy directions. Like, those figleaves.

   So, even a veneer of an excuse or reason will suffice to permit acceptance of even the wildest lies. That human beings can think it a good idea to make a lampshade out of human skin (Auschwitz, experiments on Jewish dead skin) -- things like this tell you how low we can go yet still consider ourselves reasoning beings. So was it ever, in the human race. Any visit to the history books, any visit to a psychology primer, will demonstrate this fact. So, then: emotion can use 'reason' to soothe us against any shock; to hide uncomfortable truths.

   People hooked on their smarts are just as emotionally hooked, as the dumbest holy-ghoster who's rolling in the aisles. It's amazing how blind is the intellectual crowd, to its own childishness. Yet, that's what emotion does: it clouds reason. So, your reason can be clouded by LOUD, feel-good appeal to reason. So, you can buy the slapstick idea that the poor are poor because rich people hurt them. (Common sense would tell you that no poor person can get a job except through someone richer than him -- where else could the money come from? So the rich by nature, however corrupt, help the poor; whether they want to do so, or not!)

   Intellectuals are constantly out-maneuvered by Satan&Co. via the sexy appeal to cogitation. That's the decoy 'hook'. Beneath that, is the hidden: based on an irrational or too-low premise, they go searching, analysing, collecting and cogitating about irrelevant topics/data; or, worse, the topics/data are relevant, but are subjected to irrelevant testing standards (blind-men-and-the-elephant).Click here for an example of irrelevant testing standards in a talk show between Carrie Fisher and Bill Maher.

   Due to the genetic effect of Adam's sin upon the body, when sometime after birth we all commit our first sins, those genetic urges implant in our souls. As a result, we are all insecure, and only differ in the flavor of dissociative comfort we seek, when face-to-face with the issue of 'if God'. So, we always abuse logic as a defense mechanism to hide the origin of our discomfort. Whether we are holy rollers foaming in the aisles, or the intellectuals who laugh at them. Whether we are wild-eyed screamers of the end times, brother -- or the smart ones who are wise in our own eyes. Whether we are pious good-deeders who breathe down everyone else's necks with our self-righteousness, or the gimme-a-break crowd who correctly see ritual and 'works' as pandering. Notice how the goofy or stuffy people are used to deflect attention from the entire idea of 'if God', in the minds of scoffers; notice how the scoffers are likewise used, to make the goofy/stuffy people feel holy. Great and time-honored propaganda technique, that. Whoever said Satan was stupid?
   See, it's a shock to the sin nature to even consider God, and Satan knows it. So there is massive resistance and fear innate in man when "God" comes up in his mind. Note well: we humans only differ in the amount of our innate resistance and in what conquers it. So no one who comes to believe in Him is ever any better than the one who does not. Satan, of course, will thus use the sin-nature tendency to arrogate all goods and bads to buttress ego: especially, the good of God's Real Existence.

   So, it's not hard to enhance that insecurity, that rejection urge, with some helpful excuses. Never mind, that these excuses are all illogical. Just bond a sense of being special to whatever idea about God, pro- or con-, you want to promulgate. Look: it's clearly illogical to deem self special because self has believed in Christ, since God the Son made every human ever born, personally; since God the Son in His Humanity personally paid for all sins of every human ever born. Likewise, it's clearly illogical to say that the idea of God's existence should threaten one's own self-esteem. Why should one be afraid of God? No reason. Why should one feel queasy or have any kind of resistance/rejection reaction to faith in Him? No reason. Why the HECK should it ever matter if 'you' and 'I' have the same faith? What would your agreement do for me, or mine, for you?

   See? All these attitudes are wholly illogical. Do we feel nervous about the existence of the sun? About the existence of weather? So why, then, about God? God is, or is not, just like the sun. So why is there no dispassionate interest in Him? Why does the sun get attention, but not the Son? The latest baseball scores can be discussed. But oh! Not God -- only stupid people believe in Him. Okie dokie. Gotta walk on eggshells, then; gotta avoid what should logically be the most wonderful category of information to learn; gotta keep silent regarding He Who by nature competently loves everyone. And so it goes, as Kurt Vonnegut loves to write.

   So, it's not surprising that not only today's brilliant folks are so illogical. Descartes, Kant, and even some of Aristotle's writings demonstrate how this #6 satanic ploy works. These great folks were led in circles every time they approached any piece of data or topic which would rationally lead one to a correct apprehension of some Attribute of God. It's phenomenal, to watch them come so close to apprehending -- and then veer away, as if caroming off an invisible barrier. In Kant, you can see this happen anywhere you open a page. In Descartes, same, but his CogitO ergo sum is most apt -- he misses apprehension by one letter! ('Should be CogitA, God thinks.) In Aristotle, his On the Soul comes close, then orbits away back into physicalities. Same, for his reversal of "quantity" and "quality" definitions (had he reversed the names and played with the results a bit more, he'd have discovered what he sought).

   So you should find that emotion is the reason people 'buy' whatever falsehood is sold. Emotion, a) because there's some kernel of truth IN all lies, which is why lies are powerful. [Lies have no power on their own -- all the power is derived from the truth. If you know anything about derivatives, you can prove this fact very quickly. Scripture, of course, says it in many ways.] Emotion, b) because it feels good. It feels good to pee, it feels good to be self-righteous, it feels good to be angry, it feels good to be attracted. Apart from getting Bible Doctrine regularly and use of 1Jn1:9 almost like breathing, no human escapes the pull of emotion. That's why the slapstick element in each of man's beliefs about anything is so clearly based on emotion, not reason; why it goes so undetected by those believing the lie. "Strong delusion" (1Thess2:11, Rom1:20-32) is held together by any kind of negative volition to God, plus emotion. In unbeliever and believer, alike. We're all in this together.

7. Satanic Doctrines always a) blatantly contradict common sense, and b) blatantly contradict Bible. On purpose. This is the capstone Signature Element: if the first six didn't work to make you recognize demon authorship, then this #7 is supposed to wake you up. See, God makes sense. So even if you do not know any holy book's content; even if you are a child, you can at least do some rudimentary reasoning about God. It's the natural thing to do. So if a claim about God (or something related to God, viz, the origin of the universe) contradicts even rudimentary common sense, well.. then the one who still doesn't wake up, is negative to God. There is no other cause.

   To make things easier on us hapless humans, Satan&Co. always tie the contradiction-of-common-sense to Bible, so you can prove what contradicts common sense, also contradicts the Bible in the exact same way. Which, the Bible itself enjoins you to examine: like Elihu told Job, "the ear tests truth": you evaluate truth compared to truth, and for a truth to be truth, it must be wholly consistent. That's why the Bible is claimed to be infallible and inerrant, and is provably so. (Copyist errors don't affect the message, any more than typos would in well-understood English text; so can be proven for what they are. Truly fantastic work in gathering, validating and finding Scriptural MSS was done by Tregelles and Tischendorf in the mid 1800's.) So too, when evaluating any book which claims to be from God, the same standard should be used, since God is perfect -- the Message in the text itself would have to reflect His Perfection, in order to be eligible for consideration as being from Him.

   So, as you'll see below in the Tactical Example of the Book of Mormon, a doctrine alleged to be OF God would not malign God, so cannot BE of God, if it does malign God. In the BOM, and in an extremely clever way in English (for the BOM was given in English, whether 'translated' by Joseph Smith or not, since he didn't know how to translate), supposedly the Holy Spirit told 'Nephi' to murder Laban, and then to immediately dress up in the murdered man's clothing, and impersonate him -- spiritually empowered, of course, with Laban's voice. Is this demon slapstick against the Holy Spirit, or what? It's the engastrimuthos demon who imitates voices; the Holy Spirit never does that, since that is a form of lying. When you read the Nephi passage itself, you of course realize immediately that such a command maligns a God Who says, "thou shalt not murder". [Yes, Murder. As usual, the translations are mangled: not "thou shalt not kill".] So, right there you know something's not kosher about the 'author' of the BOM, since murdering Laban was critical to the entire 'exodus' that 'Nephi' recounts.

   Just as it violates common sense that a Perfect God would insult Himself in the BOM example above, so also it violates common sense to say Infinity has a "Body" (another Mormon doctrine, but not merely theirs, about Father); it violates common sense to say that lighting a candle is spiritual, for what does Infinity need, with a candle?

Pick anything you like that's passed off as holy, and test it for sense. Then, once you see the violation, look up Bible verses, and notice how the Bible is contradicted in the SAME WAY. Then, look for the other six Signature Elements, see for yourself. [Since man morphs demon doctrines, you might not always find all seven Signature Elements. We humans don't hear demons properly either, lol!]

So let's give these Seven Elements a 'test drive' on a wildly-popular belief, and see how easy it is to detect the Seven Elements...

Sample Popular Belief: 'sincere' belief in any version of God is enough. Look: if someone called you Yucky Gertrude Cheese sincerely, is that your name? If you reply, aren't you thus lying or impersonating, hence misleading the caller to think that's who you are?? So how godly is this 'god'? See? it's blatant stuff like this which thus yells, "not of God!"
Let's focus a bit more on the Yucky Gertrude Cheese question. It's really common for people to say all religion is okay, all religion leads to God. Do you see how insane that statement really is? It's calling God a LIAR. If God is Buddha and Christ and Allah, then He's LYING to someone. Those are each very different characters. The Hindu will call them "manifestations", as if that solved the problem. Ok, then they are LYING manifestations, because they CONTRADICT. If God is Absolute, no contradiction can be in Him. Paradox, yes, since by nature Infinity must unite opposites. And that uniting must compensate for whatever the opposites, are. It can't just be slammed together, y'know. Integrity has to be justifiably maintained. Arbitrariness is not integrity.

So God cannot be all these different names, since contrary CHARACTERS are depicted. Buddha (who wasn't even a god, was deified later) says you meditate a lot and practice what amounts to fatalism, at the end of which, you get to a nothingness (no more pain, basically). But Allah and Christ, talk about hell, and talk about if you don't BELIEVE, you go there forever! With Allah, you have to keep on believing, unless he feels like pardoning you (frequent refrain, which Moslems say depict sovereignty, omniscience and mercy); but Christ is to be believed on once, and "you must be saved" (Acts 4:12) as a consequence.

See? The "God" so variantly depicted, even with just these three versions (all of which claim one or more Absolute Supreme Beings), wouldn't give nothingness to one, a capricious "shade" to another (Koran doesn't have a heaven, but a place under the earth -- more on that later), and heaven forever to a third. That's not Justice, and certainly isn't Absolute Righteousness. Such a "god" would be cheating himself, first. So see? It's patent insanity to say all religions are ok. So #7 Signature Element is bald, here.

Of course, #1 Signature Element, the satirization of Bible, is bald also: Gospel is being satirized. You are only saved by believing in Christ. So, the demonic ploy CHOPS OUT "Christ", rendering the remainder as the 'gospel': you are saved if you sincerely BELIEVE [substitute-name-here]. Which saves no one, hardy har har! See the fixation on Bible? This ploy is a satirization of John 3:16, but WITHOUT THE PERSON who is to be the object of your faith.

Bald also, is #2 Signature Element, the obligatory hey-see-me Greco-Roman allusiveness engraved upon every demonic ploy. For this SAME TENET was cardinal to ancient Greco-Roman culture: its most salient feature (and the reason Christ was crucified, Jews persecuted, and Christians persecuted) -- was that all faiths 'count'. To exclude even one 'god' was "impious"; Christians and Jews excluded all but their Own, thus deserved execution by the State (i.e., Paul, Peter).

Not to be missed, our friendly #3 Signature Element, slapstick. It's sheer buffoonery to say SINCERE belief in ANYTHING, is ok. If I got on television tomorrow and told the world they'd be saved by putting underwear on their heads -- do you know, the next day millions would do it? Those terrorists sincerely believed they would be saved by flying the planes into the Twin Towers on 9/11. Lots of Catholics sincerely believe counting some stupid beads on a rosary with this mindless chanting will shave off some years in Purgatory. Of course, millions believe that a fancy new car will buy them love and prestige. So millions believed that laying flowers on every street corner near the Vatican somehow honored the Pope; or, before him, Princess Diana (never mind, the cleanup cost of all those dead flowers, thus dishonoring the dead person with expense). See how uproariously silly? And who notices? Oh, no one: we preach this stuff in pulpits or honor it in newcasts! It's taught in universities, nodded at during speeches, from the Vatican to Lhasa to Anaheim and back! Oh, what an around-the-world show this is! Which circus show, thus sells billions of smiley tickets, every day. And we are the clowns, the puppets. Going to our own doom...

Next, our fav #4 Signature Element, mocking-the-believer-of-the-lie, by telling him the truth via its opposite. Due to the slapstick, and the SPECIFIC CONSTRUCTION of the lie, you are forwarned to REVERSE the message, and you are at fault if you do not. So look: REVERSE the lie, and know the truth: it matters altogether in WHOM you believe, and it's not okay if you believe in the wrong PERSON. So you are mocked if you believe the lie, and you have no excuse. You are mocked, for the construction of the lie TELLS you to look at the Bible (John 3:16 and Acts 4:12, specifically); you are mocked, for the SLAPSTICK NATURE of the lie itself mocks those who believe in it. You are mocked, because this very lie is the SAME LIE as the Greco-Roman civilization believed. And we all look back on those quaint beliefs in many gods, and kinda laugh, do we not? Oh, we are so much smarter now! Yeah.. buying the SAME lie? And not recognizing it's the same, what with all our education?

Of course, this tie-back to Greco-Roman culture deliberately points to Bible as well, since the Bible warns of this very lie, from Genesis 6 onward (from which time the lie derives). The entire Bible is couched in terms of the Greco-Roman system, ever since Gen6 (i.e., the Mosaic Law's rituals mock polytheistic culture, which Egypt too had shared). [You can't see this couching in translations. You have to see the original-language texts.]

Not to be outdone, #5 Signature Element, finely-honed SUPERHUMAN wit. The demons know Bible better than Christians. Bible says that BELIEF ONLY in CHRIST ONLY for SALVATION saves you. Satan &Co. didn't even mess with the translations of John 3:16 (which is almost exactly right in every translation I can read). So it's not works, but BELIEF. So, they PRESERVE that fact in this any-religion-is-ok lie. So, they CHOP OUT THE PERSON (thereby telling you it IS the Person of Christ, nothing else), and then SUBSTITUTE (the "S" in D-I-O-S) whatever 'name' suits your ego. So it's the Real Gospel, chopped like the 2nd Temptation of Matt4. So becomes a lie due to the chopping. Deftly.
Then there's the nameplay, literally. "Name" being the name of the god/religion you BELIEVE in. "Name" in Greek and Hebrew first has to do with CHARACTER. "Shem" (Hebrew) and "onoma" (Greek) reference first the CHARACTER, the PERSON; which is why folks try to give their kids noble names (i.e., nearly everyone in Arabia is named Mohammed). So here in the lie, the 'name' of the religion/god does not matter. That's the main thesis of the lie: it doesn't matter what you name 'god', if you sincerely BELIEVE, you're 'ok'. Tell me: who is this clever? Do you know, 99% of Christendom also buys this lie? Despite John 3:16? Despite Gen15:6? Despite Acts 4:12, 16:31? Tell me: what human can play on so many Bible verses with but ONE lie? Heck, most Christians don't even know those few verses!

Of course, #6 Signature Element, the emotional pull, is oh-so-endearing. Awwww, God (whoever-he-is, doesn't matter) gives something to everyone. Awww, everyone is EQUAL. Awwww, my god is as good as your god. Awwww, doesn't it feel GOOD that Buddha/Allah/Christ/Yucky Gertrude Cheese fetch for the human race. Awwww, we are the real gods, since OUR definition of 'god' serves us! Of course, if you CHALLENGE someone with the information above, their EMOTION pulls in the opposite direction: hostility. You are pushing something. You are bad. YOU are lying. YOU are mean. You are.. fill-in-the-blank. All the while, their brains never turn on to the common sense of whatever you say. Because, they like the emotion. Far worse than drug addiction, and much more deadly! So see: Satan&Co. are not to blame for promoting the lie. WE are to blame.

So, there you have the bald satanic violation of common sense, nicely advertising all SEVEN Signature Elements around the world. Who says Satan doesn't exist, huh? We are sooo arrogant! And as a consequence, so helplessly blind.

Correction: we are so disinterested. Blindness is not all Satan's fault, nor all the sin nature's fault. Even those faults don't account for disinterest. No one cares who the real God is; they care how they impress PEOPLE, for crying out loud. That was the big deal, in Rome: it was the whole point of life, to be well-thought of. Same, in Greek culture. Same, in any pan-religion claim. It's a peacemaking attempt, and always the one saying 'all religions are okay' feels holy about saying so. See? God is not at all important. Self is god. Being appeased. No wonder we are allowed to be beat up by Satan&Co. No wonder even they try to evangelize us to the truth. No wonder, then, they satirize us so... we get what we want, and what we want, is feel-good. Not, Know God. The sheer hypocrisy makes you wanna puke.

Bible says over and over, from Gen15:6 to Revelation, you only get saved if you ONCE believe Christ paid for all your sins (Isa53, John 3). You don't get saved if you believe in God; you don't get saved if you believe Christ is God; you don't get saved if you know Bible; you don't get saved if you know doctrines of Bible. ONE specific belief, saves you, and no matter what else you are or do, it matters not.

So, "believe in Christ" is the shorthand version of this specific saving belief, and it's all over Scripture. So watch how Satan&Co. play with that among 'Christians': what is "believe"? Do you do it with the heart, or the head? What do you believe? Well, you believed in Christ, right? (Believing WHAT about Christ, is chopped out.) Do you have to KEEP believing? What if you stop? Is belief an emotion? Do you see how slapstick are all these questions? Yet you constantly encounter these inanities in chatrooms, publications, pulpits.. and those asking the questions, consider themselves smart to bring up these things?! It's a Twilight Zone...

So millions of people say, "I'm a Good Person. I believe in God." What a claim that is. What, is God favored by your belief? Did He need your approval? Is He some badge you wear to show how good you are to other PEOPLE? And if you are a 'good person', so what? Happy for you, but.. what does God need with YOU being good? And if your being good deserves something from Him, then.. is he a dog, that he should fetch for YOU? Who's the "god" you believe in, then? Certainly not Him.

Yeah, the Koran teaches all that, too. Even teaches that Christ was "flawless" and that Mary was, while a virgin, impregnated by means of the Holy Spirit (meiosis occurs in female, so He merely added the 23 missing chromosomes). But Koran doesn't teach that believing He paid for your sins, saved you. Neither does Book of Mormon, which switches a key verb (satirizing by rendering as subjunctive, Acts 4:12's Greek, actually) and says you MIGHT be saved if you believe. Well, that's not the same (Acts 4:12 says MUST be saved, in Greek). No holy book except Bible, teaches you He paid for your sins and you need to believe in His Payment, to be saved. See: Satan's not stupid. But we sure are. You have to be a complete idiot to not recognize God exists, is Infinite, and there's squat you can do, to justify a relationship with Him. So He had to do something, and that 'something' had to be a Payment For Sin. Then, it's a quick search to find out what version of God, answers that question. Only one version: Bible's God.

I knew this in my teens. I didn't know it because someone taught me, I knew because it was logical. That big sky overhead didn't get there by accident. Someone made it. The designs of things are meant to be pleasing. Aesthetics, requires intelligence. All this, at age 13 I knew instinctively, so started the holy-book search then. I didn't like Christianity, having been turned off it by Christian religiosity and hypocrisy. Yet: God is obviously BIG. I am obviously not. Something had to be done about that, and I can't do squat. So what holy book answers that question?

See, if at 13, when tempest-tossed with all those raging hormones you can at least think that logically, when age 33 or 63, there's no excuse not to know. And less, not to search. Granted, the search takes time: took me five years before I could be sure only the Bible answered that all-important question of how the gap in nature between God and puny moi, could be solved for His Sake (how is it fair to God, is the issue). So, there's no excuse. Raging hormones won't stop one from finding the answer.. but disinterest, sure will.

Of course, emotion imbalances anyone and makes him an idiot. Appeal to the sexiness of contradicting Bible, putting it down, aha; appeal to oneself being a hero of some kind; appeal to one getting it right when the masses do not; appeal to splendid wording and oratory; all these, contribute to a building of emotion so compelling, it actually becomes thrilling to deride reason -- in the very name of it. The hitlers are always nourished from outside themselves.

Onward to the Tactics themselves, to see how the 'signature' plays...

Satan is bitter about us getting salvation. Satan continues to perceive himself and his cohorts to be spurned by God. So, in his quest for revenge, his genius REVERSES: 1) God's soul-then-body order, 2) God's quiet style, and 3) God's "SONS-for-mutual-enjoyment" Goal.

FIRST, FOREMOST MACRO TACTIC: Satan reverses all three by emphasizing the body, SO THAT THE SOUL NEVER GROWS UP. To this end, Satan invented RELIGION. [Biblical Examples: Tree temptation, initially, as shown in Part II; Rev17 harlot, at the other 'end'. In between, phallic cults and all the multi-gods, no-gods promulgations.] Ergo all his 'noise', 'misemphasis', 'obviousness' translate into banging-the-drum on everything visible: like, "works". Thus he suckers in Judaism and Christendom throughout the centuries, without fail.

And, of course, all the other world's faiths are body-oriented too, in the name of 'god'. Look at any/all of them: they are ALL works-oriented. Emotion is substituted for spirituality: to make one 'feel' (a BODY thing) spiritual. (Goofy forms of!) Reason will be thrown in to make one 'feel' (a BODY thing) right. Take the time to evaluate this claim: see if you don't come to realize that virtually all the religions are satires against God, and thus against man: that all are versions of Rev13 and 17's warnings (OT version -- Ziggurat ('Tower') of Babel). Evolution satirizes, too, for that matter: evolution is the 'reason'-appeasing version of animistic reincarnation, so avoids 'god' words. Deeper still, evolution is yet another rehashed version of the promise in Greek pantheonic culture that if you were noble enough, you could be blessed by, or progress into, the level of the 'gods'.

Oh, how handy, too, this RELIGION which emphasizes body: such a great recipe for iconoclastic arrogance in the SOUL.

• Step One, create a shellgame of inanities, but then make it unholy to question them. This first Step is particularly handy, for we can blame our teachers for our own disinterest, that we were only obeying orders, yavol: never mind that God being First Parent means you never accept hearsay, especially if it's insensible.
• Step Two, emphasize what you do with your BODY, so there are VISIBLE ways to criticise and praise yet never actually THINK about God;
• Step Three, set up a tyrannical tit-for-tat system so everyone feels simultaneously self-empowering yet guilty, replete with ritual and elitism -- again, eyes on people rather than God, but oh! in God's Name, of course! Then, since the "Bible" has been so thoroughly emblazoned with this false system no one even thinks to see if what's in it agrees with all the hearsay.
• Step Four, the inevitable denouement -- the 'god' of this religion fails to deliver! So now it's okay to curse him, and gain self-esteem in so doing. Yeah, baby goes out with the bathwater. Real Bible is trashed because the centuries of hearsay were accounted true. No one even bothers to remove The Book from the hotel dresser to check it against what people say, but God is at fault! if He must judge all this hateful disinterest. After all, we go to Church on Sunday; oh, but we are good people! So finally,
• Step Five, we can trash the idol and put our martyred selves on the pedestal.
• Ahhh, Step up to Step Six, a god at last. Stairmaster 666.

Satan thus easily promotes a LOT of 'noise', to obfuscate: do do do, stress the 'need' to fix/mend/"do something about it!" So, Satan thus REVERSES, and therefore SUBSTITUTES God's inner-to-outer order, His inner/quiet style, and His inner/sons-goal -- entirely. All this, by means of Satan's focus on obvious BODY need, to supplant God's focus on SOUL not-need.

SATAN'S STRATEGY KEY ==>By emphasizing what man needs least, Satan reverses what God wants most. This body is temporary, and is just a house, so It's Made The Center Of A Fake Spiritual Life. This derides God, His Son, His Plan, His Purpose for our lives. Entirely. In Revenge. Satan reasons that since God is unfair to him and his cohorts, then Satan will 'get even' by making everyone else 'bad'. Gotterdammerung mentality. With respect to Church, since Church is the Body of CHRIST, wordplay on our BODY role is most deft. For, we are to grow up by Learning Our Head; which, by so doing, we corporately BECOME a body (main point of Eph4:11-16 in Greek). So, Satan&Co. derisively play on our True Body-ness with substituted body-works, body-stress, 'unity of religion' and similar such obviously SLAPSTICK lies. Full of lots of nice, warm emotions so we will feel 'holy'!

So, Satan focuses on the body, in order to focus on works, because works are inherently punishing -- after all, Adam and the woman were punished for their fall BY works (Gen3:17-19). So, it's easy for the human to think 'works' are what somehow 'pays' God something, especially since in his brain-urge-depravity he needs to 'be good'. Human reasons: "Well, it's in the Bible! God punished me by works, so if I work, I'll pay my sentence off and please God." See how the Bible is distorted? How Love is denied? How Grace is cut out? How Satan taps our brain-urge to conclude fig leaves? How Satan sneers at God?

So: what's supposed to be a normal, natural, enjoyable result of spiritually-growing up becomes arduous, cardboard-y, painful, frustrating. Why? Satan wants you to associate 'pain' with 'God', because That's How SATAN Thinks Of God. Also because, that's how Satan thinks of YOU. Satan wants you to be like him, see. Satan wants you to 'do' for him, see. You're just a pet, to him. He fools himself that he is saving you this way. And then laughs at his own foolish 'love' for you. [Always, his love-and-hate attitudes are online. He's torn up, and projects that fact in every thing he thinks and does. He was meant to 'love' mankind, by God's design, for rulership of man was God's subplan for his life. So he can't quite get rid of wanting to serve man, yet hates man at the same time. This double-mindedness is true for all the other fallen angels, as well -- to a lesser extent.]

So, God's process is reversed! God doesn't want any 'work', but wants your pleasure. He wants you to have "true riches" (look up all the "riches" words in Scripture). Ironically, you can't be pleased by anything until you first learn to not need it anymore. That's why God's Own Righteousness really IS Righteousness, because it's two-sided -- Righteous Standards must simultaneously be met AND unmet, which 'nets out' to mean -- NO NEEDS.

See, so much wealth means forever choosing between competing wants -- precisely because Wealth Means No Need. See: needs sort out how to forego A instead of B. But what if you have no needs? How do you choose? If you have no needs, but lack enough Righteousness -- or Love for Righteousness -- you won't make choices which are in your own best interest. So, 'foregoing' all wants becomes a training mechanism, just as it has always been for training royal children in secular life. The purpose: to teach independence, integrity, despite pressures. So, this training process 'looks' like 'sacrifice', even though it is absolutely NOT.

Foregoing all wants is not a black/white ascetic thing. Rather, it's a training for INDEPENDENCE. One foregoes a want to learn to NOT NEED it; to get to that 'place', one sometimes foregoes, and sometimes doesn't forego. That's why, for example, Christ sometimes did miracles from His Own Deity. This teaches Coordinative Independence. (The ascetic never learns that, because he only develops foregoing everything, so ends up being so dependent on that, he can have nothing.) The "sometimes" training is a lot harder than total abstinence, and the "sometimes" training is based on intrinsics. You forego in instance "a", because in that instance, it is right to forego. You don't forego in instance "b", because in that instance, it is not right to forego. So, you learn to Love What Is Right, and the foregoing or not foregoing is an expression of that Love For Righteousness: the Standard. See how everything docks under it, and see how true freedom, true independence is to be achieved, in God's Script?

For, what's Righteous, is to Not Need, to BE Independent. Why? Once you don't need, anything you get is pleasing; once you don't need, anything you don't get is pleasing. So, 'extra'. That's the real point of the Cross. Life cannot be enjoyed so long as one has needs. Wealth cannot be enjoyably handled, so long as one doesn't know how to competently forego wants. Christ became so Independent of Need, that He Enjoyed Even The Cross. [See "Paradox of Merit.." table in Part V for a climactic description of how all this works, in God's Thinking. It's so awesomely-gorgeous.]

Satan, of course, hides that meaning by reversal, to make life totally choked with 'sacrifice' and needs. Ergo all Satan's channeled-through-humans, propagandic 'noise': improve improve improve. Sold everywhere, every second. Gotta fix this. Gotta buy that. Gotta do this. Gotta do that. Every media channel, every circumstance, every 'mouth' is used to constantly distort out the real message:

• "you don't need anything but God", which is the truth, thus becomes
• "you need anything BUT God", or
• "you don't need God", or
• "you need", or
• "you don't need anything."

  See how clever Satan is? He just lifts out a tiny portion of the truth, like he does in the 2nd Temptation -- thus changing truth entirely. So, 'noise' works very carefully with 'misemphasis' and 'reversal'.

[In Fixes.htm and Fixes2.htm, you'll find more on this topic of how Satan uses body-stuff, generically. There are other Macro Tactics which are at least corollaic to the body-emphasis, and tie to the Four Reasons of Part III, the 4 Decisions (the 4 Decisions are in the Fixes' pages), and Satan's 4-pronged MEGA strategy (representing his own '4 decisions') in Part IV. One of these additional Macro Tactics is the desecration of human marriage, updated to the highest pitch with Church Christian Marriage, as it is a major Trial issue, if not the entire raison d'etre for Satan's Rebellion and both Trials (initial, and our appellate phase); another, the human concept that God is too high to know, that life with God is supposed to be low and servile: in other words, a desecration of God's making-sons-for-the-Son purpose. (This latter is a spinoff of the Brother-Foot satire Satan constantly plays.) From the desecration of human marriage comes the desecration of VARIETY, hence the ability to foster war among humans due to VISIBLE interpersonal differences like money, gender, ethnicity, culture, etc. ad nauseam. From the desecration of God's intended Sonship purpose for all humans comes religion, as well as the strong-man political and social concepts: in short, tyranny. Sometime later I'll incorporate all that material here, when I decide whether to classify these tactics as merely corollaic, or as macro tactics in their own right.]

Satan's second major macro tactic is ANTI-SEMITISM. This, because God has yet to fulfill promises to Israel. So, look at any map of the world. Think about the long history of the world. If you were to color in your map with dots of red the amount of antisemitism within each nation around the globe, your map would show a progressively-greater saturation of red, the closer you get to the Land of Israel. Think: Arab countries are the most virulent; Northern and Eastern Africa; the northern portion of the Asian subcontinent; Europe; Russia; these are the regions historically plagued with the greatest saturation of anti-semitic attitudes, even through today. The US is growing in its anti-semitism, but even so is far less plagued: for, it is in nations contiguous to Israel where Satan needs the most, and the most reliable, "red". Anti-Semitism is critical to Satan's plan, which we saw in Part II, Part IV, and Part V. So, the amount of Anti-Semitism in nations is promulgated due to their geographical proximity to Israel. Within nations, you'll find concentrations of anti-semites in geographically-concentric proximity to concentrations of Jews.

God prophesied all this to them, warning (for example) that when He drove them out of the Land, He'd chase them with the sword everywhere they went (i.e., Lev26:33, Hosea 4, all of Jeremiah). But then He also warned that the humans who did that chasing, would be punished. So, vet what God says: test the history of Jewish migration and population concentration. This is especially easy to do with European history. Notice how, as Jews leave one area and go to another, the concentrations of anti-semites follow. You can prove this historically. Just get some history books which trace Jewish migration: Jewish organizations should have those histories, and there are some videos, too. Then -- separately, if you prefer, apart from any Jewish origin -- look up the history of anti-semitism in the area: most areas have 'somebody' who specializes in the history of that town, state, country.

Hence Satan has to keep fostering whatever anti-semitism he can, to divert and deflect any incipient interest in God, into what derides Him. And ideally, to foster Christian persecution of the Jew; at this, Satan&Co. have been wildly successful, in the past. It's a strategy, a major tactic, but also a personal vendetta on Satan's part: the Church replaces Satan&Co. as the top ruling class, in eternity, and the role of Church NOW, is to RESCUE Israel -- both the people, and her "time", as the "To Be or Not to Be" table in the "Timeline" link at pagetop, proves mathematically (the Lord really did come at the end of time). So Satan&Co. adherents who buy anti-semitism will also manifest these same obsessive traits, thus proving themselves to be (the spiritual) "seedline of Satan". They're really quite wacko.

Everything Satan does is two-pronged, to HERD people. We saw in Part IVa how he's been trying since 70AD, to get everyone to seek to go back to Israel, and settle the Jews there, which is against God's very explicit warning in passages like Daniel 9:26, Matt24, end of Isa60, end of Eze38. Only GOD will return the Jews. Else, they should stay away for their own protection, so they can't be killed easily. And for 2000 years, the Jews heard that warning. But due to the increase of persecutions beginning in the 1800's, those loving the Jews forgot the Bible and sided with them to help establish the State of Israel. Hitler was used for that herding, to give the new state its urgency. So now millions of Jews -- 80% of the worldwide population, from what I can tell? -- are herded back in Israel. God never abandons His People, thank God! or they'd all be dead by now. Notice how Satan took the wackos (Hitlerians being the ultimate example) and thus shocked those who loved the Jews into doing the one thing most harmful to them. Because we didn't read our Bibles, either. Because we didn't recognize the Abomination of the Dome warning us of Dan9:26 and Matt24, either.

Now let's take a detailled example, so you can see how the herding works. First prong: set up a lot of goofy people who demonstrably can't read Bible, and promote them as 'Christian'. Second prong: set up a reaction to these goofy people. As a result, in an attempt to defend the Jews -- which we gotta do, and no sane person would want anything else -- as a result of defending them, something done in their defense, inures to their harm. Many a past pogrom occurred because the Jews banded together in enclaves out of self-defense. Aided, by sympathetic goyim, who also saw safety in numbers. Yeah, and they became sitting targets in every nation: Spain, Russia, Eastern Europe and finally Germany. So now, in Israel. Thank God Jews are more dispersed in the US!

So Satan &Co. must generate the first prong, to develop the second. So look how well he plays the first prong; just try to resist fighting against it, if you are sane. First Prong Example: the "Kingdom Identity" and like groups' doctrinal statements, tracts and books are demonstrably of satanic origin. All Seven Characteristics are displayed in spades -- truly awesome, how the verses they quote and the way they use them, proves they are the satanic 'seed' (sired by satanic doctrines, 1Tim4:1). [A particularly good refutation of their Bible misuse is at www.watchman.org; its "Watchman Expositor: Christian Identity Profile" is succinct. Then there's www.sullivan-county.com, which has a "Christian Identity" article worth reading. Finally, a longer piece called "Recognizing Christian Identity" is written by James Lloyd, and you can download it from www.theamericanvoice.com. Lots of other stuff out there, too: I didn't have time to click on all the dogpile links.] If you need something to practice on to evaluate the Seven Characteristics, start with these guys, because they really think their documentation supports what they believe. They don't see the derision. Compare what they say the verses mean with the verses themselves. Again, this would be funny if not so tragic. Here's an example, taken from the "Doctrinal Statement" link of "Kingdom Ministries", which is on the web (at www.kingidentity.com):

"WE BELIEVE the White, Anglo-Saxon, Germanic and kindred people to be God's true, literal Children of Israel. Only this race fulfills every detail of Biblical Prophecy and World History concerning Israel and continues in these latter days to be heirs and possessors of the Covenants, Prophecies, Promises and Blessings YHVH God made to Israel. This chosen seedline making up the "Christian Nations" (Gen. 35:11; Isa. 62:2; Acts 11:26) of the earth stands far superior to all other peoples in their call as God's servant race (Isa. 41:8, 44:21; Luke 1:54). Only these descendants of the 12 tribes of Israel scattered abroad (James 1:1; Deut. 4:27; Jer. 31:10; John 11:52) have carried God's Word, the Bible, throughout the world (Gen. 28:14; Isa. 43:10-12, 59:21), have used His Laws in the establishment of their civil governments and are the "Christians" opposed by the Satanic Anti-Christ forces of this world who do not recognize the true and living God (John 5:23, 8:19, 16:2-3). "

1. So they don't realize that Christ was part Arab and part Black, because Moses had married an Arab (Midian) and later an Ethiopian woman; hence the line of Aaron was in Mary's bloodline, along with the line of Moses.
2. Not to mention all the Cushite (Ethiopian) believers in the Bible, like Ebed-Melek, who rescued Jeremiah from the sewer, or the black woman in Song of Solomon who was a believer, all the Hamitic descendents who married with Shem's, etc. ad nauseam.
3. They can't even read Gen4:1, which proves Adam, not Satan, was the biological father of Cain. Nor can they understand the spiritual 'siring' (or demonic 'siring') which is the normal meaning of "seed", as in Luke 8; nor Galatians 3's definition; nor the "implanted Word" analogy to seed that James makes in James 1. So whose seed are they? Sure helps ignorance if you pretend to be Biblical but don't read the Bible, huh.

4. Of course, they can't read Genesis 17 to find out that Abram only became a Jew by faith, which is why he was circumcised, and THAT is what made him a Jew. Romans 4 is thus a mystery to them, which explains the foregoing sentence. So "Jewishness" is not even racial, in origin. Yes, the Jews are the real descendants from Abram, but they got that way separate from Noah etc. New race created ex nihilo. That's the point! They are a new racial species; in Christ we are a new spiritual species, kaine ktsis, 2Cor5:17.
5. Of course the "mixed multitudes" verse showing that two-thirds of the Exodus believers were accounted Jews but not by race, they can't fathom (Exo12:38).

6. Of course everyone before the Jews existed, guess they can't be saved, lol: so Noah and Job and Methusaleh -- where are they? Bible doesn't tell us the color of their skin. Wonder why. Who knows if Abram was white? "Seth" means "appointed", not "white"; "Shem" means "The Name" (carrying the bloodline of Christ) not "white". David was "ruddy", so a redman; he had red hair -- so do a lot of people in every race, it's a latent genetic trait. So was Esau, Jacob's blood brother. So was Adam, maybe ("red earth" is one translation you can make of the root). Hmmm.

7. Because the origin of being Jewish was CIRCUMCISION, there were only three pure Jews ever in the human race: Abram, Sarah, and Isaac. After that, the bloodline is mixed, and non-white. Abram was from Ur of the Chaldees, which was Asian, not Aryan. When Isaac and his son Jacob went to find brides, they went back to Abram's hometown (post-Ur), and that area was non-white (whatever that means). In short, "Jewish" has not been a 'pure' race at any time since Isaac -- who by the way, married a non-Jew, remember? Rebecca. LOL. Jacob baby married two non-Jews, Rachel and Leah. So those holding that only "whites" have Souls, well.. that means Jesus the Christ had no soul?

8. Of course even before that, intermarriage between the sons and daughters of Cain's line in Genesis 4 and the Genesis 5 Heroes line were many. Intermarriage between the sons of Ishamel and the sons of Isaac were many. Intermarriage between the sons of Esau and the sons of Jacob were many. Intermarriage between the Egyptians and the Jews was frequent, and the two nations always retained close ties.

9. So of course the 900 or so OT prophecies about the Gentiles inheriting equally with the Jews -- not to mention, everything Paul writes on that same topic in the NT since he was an apostle to the Gentiles, not the Jews -- is not readable to these "Identity" people. Paul's pretty blunt in Ephesians 3, and in Romans 9-11 about who Jews are and who Gentiles are. "Nations" in English Bibles means "Gentiles" everywhere it appears (Hebrew is goyim, never means the Jews). So there are no "Christian nations" anywhere.

10. Moreover, "all nations" get the light of salvation -- it's a common refrain in the Bible, especially in the OT. NT explains how that refrain gets fulfilled in Church. The "Great Commission" is all over the Bible, not just at the end of Mark (text is disputed, and with good reason, it's goofy and corrupted). Genesis 3:15 is the first time the promise of all mankind being saveable was given: but the dippy Identity people want to call that a bloodline of Satan (same thing as the gnostics and Grail dingdongs do, since centuries ago). Christ paid for all mankind, 1Jn2:2. Through Abram all the NATIONS of the world will be blessed, promise given since Genesis 11, and Abram was not yet a Jew when that promise was made. So much for the kooky idea that non-whites who are supposedly non-Israelite don't get saved -- for the nations of every race get salvation ("every nation, tongue and people" refrains in the OT and in Rev). It's a favorite topic in Isaiah, prominent in Isa52:13-54:1, Isa 9, 42:6, 49:6, 60:3, Luke 2:32, "Times of the Gentiles" (!) in Luke 21:24 (the LORD is speaking, k?), Acts 13:47, 26:23 (command to give the Gospel to the Gentiles!) etc. The role of the Jews, was to give the Gospel to everyone in the world. Not just a particular race. Christ did come first to the Jews, but He Personally witnessed to a non-Jew, the Samaritan woman (John 4:22). Now, think: according to the Identity people, she shouldn't have had a soul, lol, because she wasn't Israelite and she wasn't white (well, she really was part of the allegedly lost 10 tribes, being a Samaritan, but hey). [Some contend that the Samaritans were something like 'half' Jewish. Yeah, so what?] So Christ is not Christ, then, too stupid to live, witnessing to a non-souled person?

11. Not to mention, Paul repudiates his own Jewishness in Philippians 3, calling it "dung" (really, a swear word at the time), last word in Phili3:8. Because the theme Paul constantly stresses is this: Race Doesn't Matter. Duh. It never did, really. God's Promise to Abram was to ABRAM, not because of his race: Abram wasn't even a Jew at the time the promise was made, as Paul explains very precisely, in Romans 4.

12. Then there's "Salvation is come from the Jews" verse which The Lord Himself spoke, John 4:22 (Greek word Ioudaios has no other meaning). So much for the weirdo idea that "Jew" is a child of Satan and the woman in the Garden, lol! I feel sorry for these Identity people. Their brains stopped working a long time ago. Blood is mindless. But it's your SOUL, not your body, which gets saved. So mindless, going-back-to-dust blood (genetics) makes no doggone difference. That's the point Paul makes in Rom9, when stressing the difference between Esau and Jacob, who were TWIN brothers. Same bloodline, get it?

13. So of course, anti-Semites like these never get the Gospel right: they add verbs. So they themselves are the children of the devil (unbelievers). We are all children of the devil, before salvation. Satan wants to keep it that way, so he promotes fake gospels as if 'Christian', thus preventing salvation (see "False Gospels?" blue box at Home Page top). Sure sign that those messing it up, are either long-apostate believers, or unbelievers: the "Lord, Lord" people of Matt7:21. That accounts for their ineptitude in reading Scripture (though any Christian will be like-inept, if he's not living in God's System).

    So avoid these people, 2Jn9-11, 2Tim2:26-3:7, Gen12 warnings will be played against them, for they are the ones attacking Abram's physical progeny. Don't refute them, don't eat with them.. they are being clobbered. If you're stuck with them as relatives, just find lots of excuses to stay away and quiet. Once upon a time, I was naive about these people, thinking them merely confused. No longer. Isa63 describes their fate, conceptually. Not good. Oh well. Can't reason with the insane.

    I sure hope these people never get any DNA tests. For our DNA reveals -- going back at least 2000 years -- that everyone in the world is part white, part Asian, part black, etc. -- especially, those in Europe and the Middle East, from which we 'whites' were supposed to have migrated, lol. When I tried to even partly trace my own genealogy, it quickly became confusing. Supposedly I'm English, French, German, and who knows what else. Well, look: Germans are mongrels by nature, being as the Germanic peoples began as a mix of Asians and Scandanavians. Germany sits between Asia and Europe, so its people are the most mixed. Anglo-Saxons are Germanic. So are the Celts. Sheesh: does no one even do his history homework? Hitler was a mongrel, himself, as were all the people he rah-rahed -- for at least 1000 years prior to his arrival on the world scene. (Study up on the migration of peoples in Asia, sub Asian continent, and Europe, see for yourself.)

    Moreover, there's no such thing as a "white" race. Lots of people in every race are white skinned; genes affect skin coloration, but skin coloration is entirely an adaptation, not a natural beginning state. Skin of any race will whiten owing to long living in cold climates. Blackening skin is due to the reverse: long living in very sunny climates; what's classified as 'brown' (Indian, Spanish, Italian, Greek, 'Asian') pigmentation is in the middle -- again, for the same reason: climates alternate. Because -- duh -- skin is an organ, so it adapts to the climate in which it exists over some generations. DNA replication for skin "instructs" the melanin component of skin to be more or less in subsequent cells, based on the experience of previous cells. That is why if you tan frequently, you 'train' your skin to tan; hence it becomes easier to tan the next time and eventually the tan permanizes. Skin color has nothing much to do with race, really; rather, It's a trained environmental adaptation. Oh well.

    But hey: let's ignore biology facts, and pretend these ignorant people were right: so you can see how truly funny this 'doctrine' is. Look: if whites are the Jews, then um.. well, um.. the Temple is not standing now. So the contract with Israel is abrogated. So these 'true Israel' people do not represent God. Part IVa is on that topic, but you can see it's true just by looking at the Dome and Wailing Wall. So if these dippy dingdongs were the True Israel like they claim, well.. God broke the Covenant because they were unfaithful; so God is mad at them, huh. And they have no covenant operating, theme of Rom9-11, Heb7:18 (really whole chapter), 10:9 (really whole chapter), 9:14-15, 6:20 (Priesthood changed). No lightbulbs go on, though. Oh well. So notice these blatant Bible verses (from NASB in BibleWorks, italics being my correction of translation) which are also not turning on any lightbulbs:

    1 Kings 9:6-9 6 "But if you or your sons indeed turn away from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, 7 then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them, and the house which I have consecrated for My name, I will cast out of My sight. So Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 8 "And this house will become a heap of ruins; everyone who passes by will be astonished and hiss and say, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?' 9 "And they will say, 'Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and adopted other gods and worshiped them and served them, therefore the LORD has brought all this adversity on them.'"

    Now look at what He says about the 10 tribes, which were never lost, lol. But pretending they were, look:

    Hosea 4:6 "6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. "

    So they cannot be priests, get it? Nope, the Identity people don't. So they don't get the following NT passages, either:

    Hebrews 6: 19 "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 20 where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."

    Hebrews 7:14 "14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests."

    Hebrews 7:17-19 " 7 For it is attested of Him, "YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK." 18 For, on the one hand, there is an annulment of the former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness 19 (for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God."

    Hebrews 7:24 "but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. 26 Such a high priest meets our need-- one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law [see Heb5:5-7], appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever."

    Parallel to Hebrews passages above is Romans 6, how we all died in Christ and He lives forever, so we do. Doesn't sound like a bloodline priesthood, huh. Duhhhhhh.

    Did you notice how these Identity people thus condemn themselves, if they claim to be True Israel? Bible condemns Israel for refusing Messiah.. but these people are the continuation? So then They Are Being Condemned. Else God would have rebuilt the Temple already, as promised in Eze39ff. So not only do they mess up the Gospel (adding verbs to "believe", and restricting Who can do that), so many among them are probably unsaved; so not only do they mess up the covenant identity which applies Now, but.. they portray themselves as the very persons who got rejected for rejecting God. No Jew is that dumb. You don't see even the Jews trying to rebuild the Temple, they know they are being spanked. But not these dippy Identity people who aim to replace the Jews, lol. They are dumber than.. cheese.

    QUICKEST LIE DETECTION KEY: Every Bible mistranslation, false doctrine, or fake holy book/prophet sends a message which is always anthropocentric, derisive of God/Bible, promoting Matt4 temptations and Rev Chaps 13 and 17 harlot characteristics as if holy, pro-God (i.e., political activism, religion, man-man solutions). And ~ The anti-semitic 'holy' version adds Rev12 to that mix. Anti-Semitism is four-times satanic, then. So four-times insane. Those involved in it are the very people they warn everyone against; worse, they can't see how they reflect Satan himself. Quickest way to be miserable and punished is to become anti-semitic; you lose your mind, and won't know it. Even Judas -- who is a believer, and in heaven -- even an axe-murderer who believed in Christ.. will fare better at the Bema, than the anti-semitic believer.

    Book of Mormon is more deft; in some ways even it's more satanically brilliant than the Koran. But the Mormons too, don't see the anti-semitism, because they generally don't read the Book of Mormon and compare it with Bible. They don't know the Bible verses just quoted above in Kings and Hebrews. So can't read the Bible, either. Mormons are extremely nice people, and genuinely don't consider themselves replacements for the Jews -- but anti-semitism is the foundation for their origins. [Book of Mormon alleges to be the replacement 'correct' OT, the original having become corrupt -- same claim is in the Koran. The Mormons are thus descendants of the 'true Jews' who migrated to America circa 586BC. That would make the 2nd Temple (completed 516AD) a fake, and Christ a fake, since He was in that 2nd Temple, and quoted from the NT and OT we have, which BOM claims is corrupt. Which means Christ was not of God, since He used a corrupt text, get it?] So not all people in these anti-semitic movements, realize they are anti-semitic. But you know: it's still true. Most Germans in Hitler's Germany wouldn't have considered themselves anti-semitic, either.

Notice how in deriding the Jew, Satan derides God and His Faithfulness: especially, using 'Christians' to do it. See the personal vendetta which fuels him? Thus, Reversal is accomplished by denigrating and replacing the Jew, in the eyes of man. Same as with the Christian, Satan's goal is to REVERSE what's defined as "Christian", and what's defined as "Jewish". So fake Christianity and fake 'Jewish' dominates. Bible's definitions are right: use IT. Breathe 1Jn1:9 and learn Bible in God's System, and whatever confusion you have, will sort out.

Of course, this is Derisively (Obviously) done by the Substitution: whichever people is jealous of God's promise to the Jew, they are the chosen ones, not the Jew. Vol.1, Chapter XI of Hitler's Mein Kampf is a sterling 'textbook' on how this substitution is Derisively used: just tell a public lie and repeat it, over and over. Even, accuse the victim of being that liar, of being what self is! To wit: never mind that the Jew got the Law, which was the greatest boon-to-civilization mankind ever received -- oh no, the Jew never had kultur! Never mind that the Temple was the greatest piece of architecture in the ancient world. Never mind that the complex antiphonal structure of the Psalms, plus the musical genius of the Jews, underlies most of what has come to be known as genius in music throughout history -- but lie and say the Jews didn't have "architecture and music", Hitler's prima donas of "art", the manifestation of kultur! Never mind that without the Mosaic Law, there never would have been a Europe, much less a Germany, for we Europeans were savages worshipping trees, nomads on warring rampages, destroying everything and everyone at will -- oh no, it's the Jew who is an animal!

Incredible -- can anyone whose intelligence exceeds a teacup's ever buy that rot? Yet even today, among our enlightened internetting populi, on IRC and everywhere, idiots NOISILY trumpet this same tripe, thus obfuscating the senselessness of their claim!

SATAN'S TACTICAL KEY ==> A repeated lie eventually becomes accepted, even among those who recognize it's a lie. So, also here, with respect to anti-semitism. Just as the so-called Palestinian claim to land has now become accepted, despite the fact that the Jews bought the Land from the Sultan before WWI, who didn't want such swampland; never mind that it was the Jews who drained and irrigated, and made the Land habitable. Don't confuse satanic prejudice with historical facts, census reports, and title deeds! So what's the Imbalance, the Misemphasis? Ohhh -- that Jews are more successful than we are! So it MUST be that their success is at our expense! They all must have acquired their superiority by ill-gotten gain, because lo! I found one among them who once was guilty! So lo! One swallow means a whole summer! One fallible Jew means a whole unter-menschen!

This is not to say that the Jew, like the Christian, hasn't made his own vile contribution to foment ill will in others. Goyim is a dirty word in most of Jewry: Hitler was right about that (Satan always uses truth to craft from it, lies-via-imbalance). Today, as before, crusading Christians maim people's souls. Of course, the Crusades proved those European Christians were often dirty, crass, petty and supercilious. Yet, as always, it's the bad apples who color the whole barrel, rotten-red. But that color only fills those whose intelligence works like a teacup's.

Which is why the Arabs and Moslems are so handy as tools for Satan's ends. First, just like the Jews, the Arabs are part of the Gen12 promise by God, though themselves not the inheritors of the Land. Instead, God carved out different inheritances for them (remember, the eternal inheritances are not the same as the on-earth ones -- gotta believe in Christ for the ETERNAL Inheritances, just like Abram did in Gen15:6; see also Rom9's explanation). So, Satan's out to destroy all the Arabs, too -- should he accomplish this, then God is unable to fulfill that promise, you see. The subsection below entitled, "Tactical Example: The Holy Koran", illustrates Satan's methodology here; but for now, let's look at something else: what he's probably doing right now. While you read this page. It's a likely scenario, given the facts now extant, yet maybe not true now; but it displays his strategic thinking, just the same. Look for the plot lines...

Satan's third major macro tactic is to hide or mutilate Scripture. This tactic is constant, intense, and cannot be overstressed. The "Ex:BibleTrans&Interp" link at pagetop is devoted to the topic. See also MisTrans.htm, an Appendix in the DDNA webseries; also, RightPT.htm's "Badly Translated" and "Pastors to Avoid" links, SurpConc.htm's "re Satan's Plan" link, and Caveat3.htm for how current Christian teaching is successfully targeted. Upshot: the No.1 target of all Satan&Co. function is Bible Translation and Teaching. The evidence is utterly overwhelming, so the norm is apostacy á la Rev17 (which flatly tells you Church is the #1 target).

Accurate Bible translation and especially teaching is so rare, you have to Ask God to lead you to it: use 1Jn1:9, ask Father in Son's Name, and then watch how God answers you. Don't depend on your own understanding: Ask God. It's a Trial Witness function, that you ask Him, rather than depending on yourself. If you depend on your own understanding (i.e., testing to see if someone is 'scriptural' by your ideas); if you throw up sticks in the air to decide what's right; if you depend on how you feel about some pastor or teaching; you are led by Satan, not by God. They hook most Christians by these false methods. So bypass them all: pray to find out, then keep breathing 1Jn1:9 as needed and be alert. God is very quick to answer, usually. Frankly, you should be doing that same function on this webpage or on anything you read anytime, lest Satan&Co. usurp your sense of what's "right", k?

The real spiritual life is only about Depending on GOD. Not, on yourself. Satan rebelled by claiming to make something OF himself. Well, not even God made Himself, so if you try to be your own god like Satan is, what do you expect God to do? He stands off. For you are not electing to depend on Him, but on yourself. Please take this warning seriously, and test it: pray as noted above, see what happens. Keep using 1Jn1:9, see what happens to your ability to perceive truth. No one but Heaven and you will know the results, so there's no peer pressure, etc. You have the privacy to test this. It's supposed to BE private, this Royal Spiritual Life. Private and invisible. Everything which is the opposite of what Christianity via Satan&Co., sells.

Satan's micro tactics manifest his true genius. Like germs, a thing which of itself is small will be disregarded, especially in a world where visibility gets the noisy attention. Obvious derision by noisy imbalance (stress obvious visibility, so to mask invisible infection) is blanketed upon mankind in the most obvious way: by words. Each word is so small, so innocent. We don't credit words with much power. They're "just words" -- how often is that expression taught? Remember the childhood phrase, "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names will never hurt me"?

Ahh, but it's the names that hurt -- notice how the body is misemphasized. Even in the sandbox. Satan wastes no time. He knows full well that what felled Job, was his friends' words. Not the sores. Not the loss of his wealth. But words. And, of course, that is as it should be: for the "Word of God is alive and powerful" (Heb4:12). So, naturally, any words would be most powerful. Not the body. So: bang-the-drum on the body, to deflect attention from the real power -- words. For the soul lives on words (Deut8:3, Matt4:4). Just as it was designed to do.

So, words are the "salami tactic". A little word here, a little slice off the meaning there, another little slice there, over and over and over. Day and night. Then, presto! magic! Unseen! All the meaning is sucked out of the words. Reversed, even. Derided, even. "Love" becomes just a sound. "God" becomes just a designer label. Slice after slice after slice. For, remember: A repeated lie eventually becomes accepted, even among those who recognize it's a lie.

Slice away, baby: English translations of the Bible cover up hundreds of words which have specialized military meanings in the original languages. So the reader is dulled into thinking that the spiritual life is lukewarm: babyish, shallow, sweetness-and-light, ritualistic, do's, tame (Cf Heb5:11-6:6). This lulling, of course, is a satanic micro tactic, and the "Ex: Bible Trans. and Interp." link above, covers it in detail.

But no testing of results should be restricted to one source (i.e., Bible translations). So, there need to be a number of "Tactical Examples" in varying facets of life, so that you get a valid sampling. Once you learn how to analyze each sample, you'll have a hands-on idea for how to test something you pick out. Note: if you find your eyes glazing over as you plow through a particular "Tactical Example" below, skip it and go on to an another "Tactical Example" you find more relevant. My eyes glaze over every time I have to edit one of them!

The "Tactical Examples" follow, next. But they must be prefaced with a few cautions. The Tactical examples are intentionally sketchy, to show method of analysis more than 'proof'. So, illustrative of what to seek in deciphering them, i.e., wordplay, Bible references, etc. A truly comprehensive review of any of the holy books would take several years to complete, for example. Diagnosis, however, needs to be quick, since in practice we will encounter the tactics and need to quickly identify them, like enemy aircraft. So to know something else: what to think/do next. So comprehensive analysis isn't productive. Instead, once you see a sufficient number of diagnostic markers in a DIOS pattern, you don't have to worry about being accurate as to what specific ones actually mean. Kinda like differentiating between an airplane and a car, you might not get the type of car/plane correct, but you surely got the type of transport correct. For example, in the Tactical Example of the Koran, below, it's probable that the specific meanings I interpreted are 'off', but the pattern is nonetheless so clear, it doesn't matter what the specifics are. Satan&Co. had to be the author of that book, even if you correct for any errant specific meanings.

The examples should be popular, thus easy-to-check: most of them I received from folks who didn't know about this webpage. By the way, the movie/media examples aren't 'demonic' in the sense that you should avoid them, suspect anyone involved in them, or run around like a crazy person warning everybody: all that conspiracy nonsense is of no value to the Christian. Rather, just sanely learn, as always, applying Doctrine to experience. See how the Bible's doctrine about demon activity 'plays'. For example, just as in the Bible, one of the ways Satan&Co. recruit people today is by entertaining display of the supernatural: this encourages people to want it. Doesn't matter if it's real supernaturality, or movies (unwittingly) promoting it: the 'hook' is still effective. Then, when the person gets hungry enough, and there's some use of him to be made, a demon can play head games and seem to be an angel-in-a-trophy, like in the mentally-brutal movie, "Frailty". [That movie is a good illustration of how demon influence works, though normally demon influence focuses on good deeds and power plays. I don't know if the folks who made the movie were aware of how well they portrayed it. Real-life counterpart to "Frailty" is a book on a Mormon murder in 1984, Banner Under Heaven, though "Frailty" wasn't based on that book.]

Of course, the people making these movies, etc. have no intention of hooking other people into demonic schemes (sorry, conspiracy buffs). So instead just use the material to note how the examples all depict the framework of Satan's Script. See, you already can prove the framework from Scripture: but how do you spot it playing in real life? Frankly, a lot of what people expect demon activity to be, is not. Most of what they don't consider demonic, is. So, you need real-life stuff you can look at, to discern between the "spirit of truth" and the "spirit of error" (God's versus Satan's Script), as John puts it (1Jn4, near verse 4). Where some movie or book covers historical material (i.e., Mothman Prophecies is about an actual series of events people really believe happened to them in 1967), then also note how the pattern plays out in real life, and is not merely some movie.

These Examples are also provided so that you won't be fooled into wanting them. Many people are very fooled. They pant after psychic readings, seances or mediums who 'contact' dead 'loved ones'; they crave magic, incantations, healings, dreams, and especially, 'visitations': a UFO, ghost, 'vision', etc. ad nauseam. Any 'visitations' or 'contact' even (what fools!) 'exorcism', is contact with demons. Satan&Co. crave this kind of contact, and once you get it, you're in very deep doo-doo. They don't like to 'lose' you once they get 'contact'. (Avoid tongues people like the plague, for this reason. They are in contact with demons, and fancy it's God they know. Just as folks fancied back during the Mycenaen period!)

Some of those manifestations might be 'real' in the sense that demons can possess unbelievers, and make them say stuff (demons are maybe billions of years old so can easily imitate your late gramma or know her secrets); They can make people 'know' things, speak in any language, make a person a whole lot stronger (see Gospels for the pattern) even manipulate the look of a person; they can play with electrical energy, in order to pull off some 'joke'. On the other hand, some of these things might be wholly human invention.

Most stuff of demon origin, will be headgames. Thoughts or even images can be sent you, because angels (and hence demons) are made of light. (God's angels never ever play such games). The eye, for example, can be tricked into seeing things simply by focusing the thought-image to the brain. Since you can imagine a piece of bread and thus 'see' it, they can make you 'see' it also, even though there is no real bread before your physical eyes. The sight headgame is really popular right now (all those 'visions' of Mary in a cheese sandwich, a tortilla; even a Chicago underpass, in early 2005).

However, over 90% of their activity focuses on the mundane, to promote 'nice' and 'power'. The other 10%, the flashy stuff, is to deflect attention from the 90%, so only the 10% looks demonic. That's why you will almost never see a smart portrayal of demon stuff in the media, but rather demon-self-caricatures: vampires, red horns and tail, etc. With us humans never the wiser.

The 90% is as quiet as the 'supernatural' pitch is loud. Yeah, quiet: so quiet, no one notices how blinded they are. Two quick examples of the 90%: a) the evolutionist who doesn't recognize that the first law of math proves transmutation is impossible; b) the prolifer who doesn't recognize that if soul life was ever IN the womb, God would be both a murderer and a sadist. [A murderer, because spontaneous abortions occur; a sadist, because then the 'baby' would have self-consciousness, would be trapped, and could feel the horror of his body parts forming, of which the brain is last, for crying out loud!]

Do you see how sick are these two current beliefs, evolution and prolife? Proved totally wrong, on the folks' own terms! The evolutionist, who prides himself on his rationality -- oh no, only stupid people believe in God, he's a scientist! -- is felled by the first law of the First Science, math. Hiding in plain sight. Never mind, that evolution is just a dressed-up version of animism, the most primitive version of religion on this planet. So the 'scientist' is an animist, a primitive! Aha, what a joke on him!

The prolifer, who prides himself on fighting for God, hallelujah! -- is, in the name of GOD, no less -- selling God as a murderer and a sadist! Hiding in plain sight! Surely common sense is not operating. But how can it be so blinded? You guess why. Then, look for any nonsense in your own beliefs, for each of us is like-blinded somewhere, at some time, on some topic: especially, if we are trying to learn Him.

The Overlooked Obvious is the Uppermost Truth: it won't occur to the person to ask the obvious question, even when (and especially when) he faces opposition. That's the quintessential hallmark evidence of demonic involvement. Millions will believe or be attracted to a stupid thing, and the stupidity of it will not occur to them. Even when, and especially when, the stupidity is mentioned by another human who does see it. When you encounter that, walk away. Too much demon clouding is going on. That's why the Gospel is no longer stated rightly (for over 40 years, it's been misstated, despite John3:16), that's why the insane "Federal Marriage Amendment" movement exists (along with a total lie-version of the US's historic founding by famous 'Christians'); that's why a Martha Stewart can go to jail because she merely thought about lying, but didn't (she hadn't done anything wrong, but ALMOST did). Insanity, everywhere in the US. In plain sight, the uppermost truth -- unseen. Because, clouded.

many, many millions of otherwise-bright, sane, nice people are herded by that 90%. Quietly. So, surgically, are nonetheless just as wacky as the guy who thinks he's the latest incarnation of Christ. But we only recognize the latter type of craziness, not the former, far larger, ones! Who said Satan was stupid? Well, Satan&Co. portray themselves as stupid, so we can laugh at them or at least be entertained. Meanwhile, we are the blinded ones, and the joke's on US. [For more on "a)", look at Evolshort.htm. Much more on b) is discussed toward the end of this webpage, and in Caveat4.htm, NoWombLife.htm. Also, citations are concentrated in small font in Part II: search there on "prolifer". Other websites have more data, passim.]

The Seven Signature Elements are:
1. Some MAJOR DOCTRINE in Bible is SATIRIZED, meaning the lie sold is a SATIRE on some Big Bible Doctrine. There is a big fixated quality to the satirization, too: fixated in topic, fixated adherents toward the satirized version, and fixation against Bible. ("Against" doesn't necessarily mean hostile, but anti-, concept of substitute meaning which negates.)
2. GRECO-ROMAN CULTURE IS ALLUSIVELY REFERENCED on both subtle and obvious levels; there will always be an impish, DELPHIC-ORACLE AMBIGUITY in the wit.
3. The lie is baldly SLAPSTICK (silly).
4. The satirization therefore baldly MOCKS whoever believes the lie sold; and if you REVERSE that lie, you know the Truth being disclosed.
5. The satirization involves SUPERHUMAN wordplay/WIT, multilevel; and often, on the original-language words/meanings in Real Bible.
6. EMOTIONAL HOOKS are used to sell the lie (thus exposing the hypocrisy of the one who believes the lie).
7. The lie DELIBERATELY CONTRADICTS both COMMON SENSE and BIBLE in a way you can VERIFY. So there is no excuse. This is the Satan&Co. method of due-diligence disclosure of the truth. They hate God, but they hate you for not believing in God; they hate you if you do believe in God. They hate you, period. But they always use lies to tell the truth, and they always use the truth to tell the lie.

"D-I-O-S", Satan's Grand Strategy, stands for

• Derision, made obvious;
• Imbalance, to misemphasize;
• Obfuscation, to make covering 'noise' (decoy);
• Substitution, to reverse the truth.
Matching it item for item, is Satan's Tactical Operation Strategy (to STOP the Omega from 2nd Advent), "MEGA" (from Part IVc):
• Morality,
• Emotionality,
• GrossSin, and
• Apathy.
That's the basic path of human nature, MEGA. So
• Derision uses Morality (derides God by substitution of morality);
• Imbalance uses Emotionality (favoring emotion over reason);
• Obfuscation uses GrossSin (gets all the attention, a decoy maneuver);
• Substitution uses Apathy (disinterest in God is eager for a substitute/reversal of any truth).

  These strategies are thickly woven, and always have a mantle of rightness about them. Rightness is usually accomplished by popularity and respectability; of course, the popularity itself confers a type of respectability, since we are supposed to respect people, right? That's HERDING, get it? Hence the obvious Derision, Imbalance, Obfuscation, Substitution. Deriding the moral norm of respecting people by making a stupid thing, popular; hence, deriding all who believe in the stupid thing. Imbalance -- emotional appeal of respecting people to justify buying a stupid thing made POPULAR. Obfuscation, the 'noise' of the crowd, the 'gross sin' if you don't go along with the crowd. So voilá! Substitution of a stupid thing for smart reason. All in the name of fitting-in. True apathy to truth, completed.

OK. Time to roll out examples, so you yourself can apply these principles, and see them in real words you can test!
