Sunday, January 31

Truth is not in him.—John 8:44.

 

Satan’s lies add grief and suffering to mankind. Parents who are grieving the death of a child may be told that God has taken the child, perhaps to be an angel in heaven. Does this satanic lie lessen their pain or add to it? The false teaching of hellfire has been used to justify torture, including the burning at the stake of those who opposed church teachings. According to a book on the Spanish Inquisition, some of those responsible for this cruelty may have believed that they were only giving heretics “a taste of what perpetual hellfire would be like” so that they would repent before dying and be saved from hellfire. In a number of lands, people feel compelled to pay homage to their dead ancestors, to honor them, or to seek a blessing from them. Others want to appease their ancestors in order to avoid some form of punishment. Sadly, beliefs based on satanic lies do not bring genuine comfort. Instead, they cause needless anxiety or even fear. w19.04 14 ¶1; 16 ¶10

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.

Satan has been planting seeds of doubt and lies from far back in the garden of Eden in people’s minds, for example the false teachings of hellfire, trinity etc. These lies does not bring comfort but causes anxieties and fear. But once coming to an accurate knowledge of the truth, it sets us free from all these falsehood John 8:32.
