The LOVE Perversion: Satan's Secret Heresy

"Christian love" which isn't based in Christian Truth is a Satanic lie. Satan wants to separate "love" from TRUTH. Apart from the truth of God's Word, love becomes meaningless. Notice: almost ALL Eastern religions base their theology on 3 things: love, peace, and harmony. But, even though many of their leaders have been world renowned and oft quoted...the end of their path of love did not lead to heaven! Famous leaders lived and died on a theology of love...except the love they based eternity on was a false love. Only love based on the Word of God...Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word...is TRUTH. Satan has infiltrated the Church with "love"....yet this love is not born out of the One True God...it is not born out of Scripture. This "love" has deceived many to follow a love absent of conviction of sins, and it labels those who speak the truth regarding sin as "judgmental and unloving". Our love for the lost will NOT be what sets the lost free. Yes, it is by our love that they will know we are Christians....but only true CHRISTIAN love can do that. Notice this: Gandhi loved...yet he was NOT a Christian. Those who followed Gandhi followed a love that led to a false god. So how will OUR love....Christian love...be known as DIFFERENT from the love of Gandhi? It will ONLY be different if that love is FIRMLY established in Jesus...and that love is more than a feel-good gospel absent of recognition of sin. True love SPEAKS TRUTH...because it is TRUTH that makes people free (John 8:32 "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.") Few people notice that almost every major sin issue in the Church and in society today is based on Satan’s attack and perversion of love. Notice with me these truths:

1. Pornography - Pornography is a perverse distortion of love, relegating love to a sex act alone, absent of God’s true love and espousing fornication, adultery, and lewd acts. It entirely takes love out of an act that God intended to be just that…an act of love between a man and a woman, and it was to be a part of a marriage commitment. (Galatians 5:19)

2. Homosexuality - Homosexuality is a distortion and perversion of what God intended within the realm of sex. Sex is instituted by God to be a loving act between one man and one woman within the structure of marriage. (Romans 1:18-32)

3. Abortion - Abortion promotes self-interest and espouses the love of one’s self above the life of another. Far from being love, abortion throws love out the window, entering into the realm of murder of children. Abortion is a direct OPPOSITE of love. Love does not murder…HATE does. (Luke 1:13-15) (Exodus 20:13, 23:7)

4. Racism - Racism, in any form, is in direct contradiction to love. Racism continues to be a huge issue in society…and it runs in every direction. Scripture tells us that “nation shall rise against nation”. That passage is actually denoting “people group against people group”, or “nationality against nationality”. The sad thing is, it is Satan who is behind every racist belief, including PERCEIVED racism. Satan not only wants people to be racist, he also wants everyone to perceive every act of other races to be a racist act. Satan wants division among the races…any way he can get it. (Ephesians 4:32) (John 13:34-35) (Galatians 3:28) (Romans 2:11) (Ephesians 2:14)

5. Almost every Biblical sin has to do with some form of perverting and/or opposing love: adultery, fornication, hatred, strife, bitterness, envy, lust, murder, stealing, lying, bearing false witness…the list can go on and on. (The Scriptures are endless on these sins. I encourage a search/study of each mentioned.)

Society is struggling to deal with…and even define…love. In truth, society can never be expected to handle the issue of love correctly if the Church continues down the path of mishandling love. Instead of helping society to understand that TRUE love speaks the truth…that TRUE love cares enough to warn of the dangers and consequences of sin…the Church has, instead, embarked down a road that defines love just as society and Satan has: love only speaks good things and never mentions wrong or sin. We fail to see that Scripture paints many pictures of love…and all of them are for our good. The Bible shows that a Father…and/or Mother…discipline their children BECAUSE they love them. When a child does wrong, parents are to sit down and confront the wrong of their child: they are to point out WHAT was done wrong, WHY it was wrong, the CONSEQUENCES of that wrong, and the OUTCOME of dealing with that wrong. If parents love their child…then parents will DISCIPLINE that child. That is Scripture…NOT just my opinion. (2 Samuel 7:14) (Proverbs 19:18) (Hebrews 12:7)

Therefore, we can evaluate the distortion of love that is being espoused by many in the Christian community this way:

If the pulpits of Christian churches cease to preach and teach on/against the issues of sin and its ramifications…if Christians define love as absence of confronting sin, absence of pointing out sin, and absence of any real consequences for one’s actions…then the pulpits of Christian churches are actually failing to truly love! (Revelation 3:19)

This modern distortion of love…instituted by Satan…is actually a tactic of Satan to silence truth in the Church and in society. In following Satan’s deception, the Church is, in some cases, guilty of loving people right into hell! If anything I have written is heard…if any words I have ever spoken has ever meant anything or had any effect on someone’s thinking…let it be this statement:

PEOPLE IN HELL NO LONGER CARE HOW MUCH YOU LOVED THEM! THOSE WHO WERE LOVED…YET NEVER CONFRONTED OVER THEIR SIN…ARE IN HELL CRYING OUT TO THOSE WHO NEVER SPOKE THE WORD OF TRUTH TO THEM! THEIR CRIES ARE THESE WORDS: “Why did you never tell me the truth!?! Why did you smile at me, claiming to love me, claiming to be my friend, and yet you never bothered to tell me that I WAS WRONG!?! WHY!?! WHY!?!"

Love cares ENOUGH to speak the truth. Yes…I will say it again…I would rather offend the world with truth than condemn the world through silence. Our love will not save the lost. Our love will not pull the lost from the hell they have entered. Only TRUTH can do that. That truth is that JESUS loves them. It is HIS love that took Him to the cross to die for our sins. Yet, Scripture declares this: “You shall know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” If the truth isn’t known…then there can be no freedom. The world will not know the truth…that they are sinners, as were all of us…if WE…THE CHURCH…CHRISTIANS…do not tell them! Love without truth is not REAL love. I pray that every believer…every church…Christ’s church…will begin to speak truth again. And I pray that as the truth is spread that the fields begin to finally be harvested. Satan wants to stop the harvest…he has done that by attacking the planting and sowing process. We must get to work. Time is short…and the laborers are few.

God bless!
