Fighting Against God is ALWAYS a Losing Idea

LOSER

Over the past ten years or so, End Times Prophecy Report has written a GREAT DEAL about man’s various attempts to ‘get one over‘ on God.

ALL of man’s attempts to trick God are doomed to complete and utter FAILURE.

As are the attempts of Satan, the prince of this world.

THIS assurance of complete FAILURE has NOT deterred man in his quest to triumph over God, who CANNOT be beaten, particularly by beings which God created.

Why does man struggle so against a being which CANNOT be beaten?

Primarily because man is deceived.  Man listens to the tall tales of Satan, who tells man that God is ONLY an invention of man.

Satan is a well-known deceiver.

“…the great dragon…, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world”
–Revelation 12:12

EVEN THE ENEMIES OF JESUS KNEW THAT YOU CANNOT FIGHT AGAINST GOD.

“Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.”
–Acts 5:34-39

Still, the undeniable fact that Satan is a KNOWN liar does NOT stop MOST men from paying attention to what the devil says.  This slavish devotion to the stories of Satan turns the majority of men into workers of iniquity.

God declares that these rebellious unbelievers will wind up in the lake of fire with Satan and his rebellious angels.

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
–Revelation 21:8

“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels”
–Matthew 25:41

The question which seems to haunt EVERY discussion of this topic is always

“Can’t the wicked SEE that they are headed to eternal destruction and torment?”

The answer to that question is ALWAYS the same:

“Yes, those men ARE wicked, but those men are also DECEIVED.  They follow after LIES.  They say they value the truth and then utterly disregard it. God’s Word declares that ALL liars will burn.”

Another popular question stalks discussion of THIS topic.  That question runs along the order of:

“How can those men think they can beat God?  He is the most powerful they will EVER face!”

The answer to this question is much like the answer to the one about the wicked heading to eternal torment, seemingly without a care in the world.

CONCLUSION?

A man cannot successfully fight against God–particularly a God who CREATED that man and who KNOWS all of his WEAKNESSES.

DOES the reader believe that one can SUCCESSFULLY win a contest against the God who created him?

It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
