Deception!
Satan's number one goal is to deceive the world.
Revelation 12:9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world...
Satan's deception is not to lead people into obedience to God, but rather, to disobey God. But in order for Satan to deceive the world he would have to devise such a crafty plan that would have the ability to deceive. A plan that would allow people to believe they are worshiping God all the while they are being decieved or else they would not go for it
Matthew 15:9 Their worship is worthless, for they teach their man-made laws instead of those from God.'''
Mark 7:7-13 And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' "For laying aside the commandment of God... And He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. (Which commandments?) "For Moses said, `Honor your father and your mother'; and, `He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.' "But you say, `If a man says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban (that is, dedicated to the temple)''; "and you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother, "making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.''
Since the Law is the guideline for obedience and true worship, Satan would have to some how do away with the Law, change the Law or create a system that appears godly but denies the power that defines godliness, which is the Law.
2 Timothy 3:5 they have a form of godliness but they deny its power. And from such people turn away!
The Law defines godliness and manifests outwardly in our lives as godly love. Do away with the Law and the world becomes lawless. When the world becomes lawless it becomes loveless.
Matthew 24:3 Now as Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?''
Listen to Jesus' reply.
Matthew 24:12 "because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
Since the Law defines love, love will grow cold when the Law is done away with.
The whole foundation of godly charater is seen in those who keep the commandments as opposed to those who pratice lawlessness.
Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me in that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'
What do you think lawlessness is?
Matthew 13:41 "The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,
Romans 6:19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.
In order to be anointed with the oil of gladness you will have to love righteousness and hate lawlessness.
Hebrews 1:9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.''
You can't teach the Law is done away with and still love righteousness because the Law defines righteousness. This is Babylon (confusion) at its best...
1 John 2:29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
1 John 3:6-7 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
