Chritianity is boring.
Serving God is for old people - hahaha
Christianity is for people who don't have a brain.
Sin is fun.
Sex, drugs and rock and roll, dude, that's the life.
Money is happyness
These may not appear as the most flagrant ones to many, but they inslave the masses and their end is destruction. Satan is very subtle for the most, but he can also be very bold.

To replace Jesus with religion. By this I mean diverting people's focus from Jesus to religion or religous activities.

Lies from Satan:
The most common - it doesn't specifically say you can't do this or that in the bible so I don’t see the problem in doing what we want to do. Tell that to Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu that presented strange fire to God & died because of their disobedience to God.
The most egregious - that baptism is not an important part of the plan of salvation. Look at Act 2:38-39 & every conversion in the New Testament. If baptism isn't important why would Jesus tell the apostles to baptize in the name of the father, son, & holy spirit Matthew 28:19 (KJV) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
The most hateful - that there are many paths to salvation & you can be a Hindu, Muslim, Buddist, etc. Did you see the preacher last week state that the bible doesn't talk about hell? I think the author that Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived. Its author, Rob Bell. My first question is have you read the bible? Did you not read what Jesus said? Mark 9:43-48 "And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into HELL, INTO THE FIRE THAT NEVER SHALL BE QUENCHED: WHERE THE WORM DIETH NOT, AND THE FIRE IS NOT GUENCHED. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be CAST INTO HELL, INTO THE FIRE THAT NEVER SHALL BE QUENCHED: WHERE THE WORM DIETH NOT, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be CAST INTO HELL FIRE: WHERE THEIR WORM DIETH NOT, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED."
The biggest lie I see in the church is people need to be entertained, e.g. musical productions, Rock bands, choirs, dramas, special activities, etc. Do people really need to be entertained to go to church? We go to church to worship a Great & Glorious God! If you are more worried what you got out of church than what you put into church...focus on God & not ourselves.
God Bless.

hello! this is my first post on here. I was surfing through the forums last night and searched for Rob Bell's name to see if he was being discussed because of that book of his. I actually read the book a couple weeks ago because I wanted to see if he was saying what everyone thought he was. Actually, I was quite disgusted throughout the reading of his book, but he doesn't say that hell isn't real. I think he talks about some of the same verses that you do, but then he goes on to describe hell a little differently than what all of us think of it as. An eternal punishment.
He goes on to say that the greek word used for eternal could actually mean a period of time, and not as what we see it, 365 day year after year, never ending. He didn't quite come out and say it, but it was almost impossible not to gather the following from his writing. It seems he believes that one day, hell will be vacant. People basically will go there until they realize they were wrong, and accept Christ. He doesn't believe that Christ would turn someone away in their desperation calling out to Him, that God is too loving to do this.
Obviously he's wrong, we have a loving God, yes, but a vengeful God. If we reject Him, He rejects us.

God Bless you Theopane for posting this excellent forum.
Great input already.
More lies:
~Christianity is too hard, who could ever really live the way the bible commands?
~Jesus was only a great human teacher.
~One little sin won't hurt--no one will know.
~You don't need to read your bible.
~you can receive God's Grace and then you are free to sin or do as you please.
~you've gotten too far from God, He'll never take you back now or forgive you.
~God is too busy with other people's problems, don't burden Him with yours.
~If you are sick or going through a rough time it must be that you have sinned or upset God--you have really messed up now.
~If you are a believer, you are an embarrasement and weak.
LIES LIES LIES.

Hi Michelle,
I heard a good comeback for the lie about, "The reason I don't go to church is because of all the hypocrites."
Zig Ziglar said, "That's OK...we've got room for one more! And besides, if the only thing between God and you is a hypocrite then the hypocrite is closer to God than you are!"
Clever guy old Zig. :-)
John.

It would appear that the enemy is full of lies, but of course he is called the "father of lies" for a reason.
Lord Bless,

There are so many reasons why one may believe them. A few are that one is not a student of God's Word, one desires their way over God's way.
We conquer them but the power of His Word and Spirit.

James 4:7-10
