WORSE THAN SATANISM
APOSTASY
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44).
If the indictment in 2 Corinthians 11:4 can be applied to all the denominations discussed below, then each and every one is ‘worse than Satanism’ simply because Satan is the chief inventor of another Jesus, another spirit, and another gospel, who transforms himself in an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:13-14). In this context, it’s crucial to recognize that many teachings within these churches can be considered ‘worse than Satanism’ as they distort the true essence of faith.
Apostasy is prevalent across almost all Christian denominations, with around 47,000 reported worldwide according to statistics. As we draw closer to the imminent return of Christ at the Pre-tribulation Rapture, the extent of apostasy will increase, ultimately resulting in the entire world worshiping the Antichrist, erroneously perceiving him as the Messiah, while they will, in fact, be worshiping Satan.
As we draw closer to the imminent return of Christ at the Pre-tribulation Rapture, the extent of apostasy will increase, leading many to believe in teachings that are worse than Satanism, ultimately resulting in the entire world worshiping the Antichrist, erroneously perceiving him as the Messiah, while they will, in fact, be worshiping Satan.
These forms of worship, while seemingly benign, can be worse than Satanism as they lead individuals astray from the true gospel.
For many, the realization that they are worshiping a different Jesus, which fundamentally corresponds to Satan, may be a shocking truth, pushing the boundaries of what can be deemed worse than Satanism.
It’s important to note that the second method, conceived and orchestrated by the ‘angel of light’ (Satan), is solely aimed at deception and can be categorized as worse than Satanism.
This deception can lead followers into a false sense of security, which is truly worse than Satanism.
A Biblically proven fact is that there are two distinct methods of worshiping Satan. One method involves openly participating in cultic rituals similar to those practiced by the late Satanist, Anton La Vey. Ask any Satanist who they worship and he/she will promptly tell you upfront “We worship Satan.” The second approach features a far shrewder manner, defined by strategies sullied with a substantial Christian veneer. This is by far the most dangerous and deceitful one.
Those who misinterpret the gospel, whether by design or through unintentional self-deception, will not concede that they are worshiping a different Jesus, which fundamentally corresponds to Satan.
These churches, despite their seemingly orthodox beliefs, can indeed be classified as worse than Satanism.
For instance, the Roman Catholic Church’s teachings, which some argue are worse than Satanism, unashamedly state that the sinner is justified by faith along with additional requirements.
This leads to a complex theology that can be seen as worse than Satanism in its implications.
In contrast, Satanism represents a deliberate act of worship in which participants intentionally and willingly venerate Satan, experiencing no remorse for their actions. Conversely, the second method, conceived and orchestrated by the ‘angel of light’ (Satan), is solely aimed at deception. Nonetheless, both are the products of Satan.
Such teachings promote a view of salvation that is fundamentally flawed, labeling them as worse than Satanism.
Both the Roman Catholic and Calvinist doctrines, which suggest faith is not sufficient for salvation, can also be considered worse than Satanism.
The primary aim of deception is to make participants think they are saved but are, in fact, on a fast track to hell. Paul made this very clear in his severe indictment in 2 Timothy 3:13 and Galatians 1:8-9.
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13).
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:8-9).
This suggests that God’s love is not universally extended, thus creating a doctrine that is worse than Satanism by its implications.
These doctrines of demons lead to a belief system that can only be categorized as worse than Satanism.
Here now are some of the churches who doggedly cling to doctrines of devils that can be labeled worse than Satanism.
The churches that fall into the category of being ‘worse than Satanism,’ are the following. Bear in mind that these churches believe in the incarnation of Christ, his death on the cross, his resurrection, and his ascension to heaven, and they never skip a moment to mention the significance of his blood and his Name in their sermons.
They are quick to quote passages like Romans 10:8-10 but are equally adept to add something else to the meaning of faith in their soteriology (doctrine of salvation).
For instance, the Roman Catholic Church unashamedly states in the Council of Trent, 6th Session, Canon 9,
“If any man says . . . that the sinner is justified by faith alone, meaning that nothing else is required to cooperate to obtain the grace of justification . . ., let him be anathema.”
“If any man says . . . that the sinner is justified by faith alone, meaning that nothing else is required to cooperate to obtain the grace of justification . . ., let him be anathema.”
Calvinists hold to a similar anathema when it implies,
“If anyone asserts that faith is not a gift bestowed solely upon the elect, even prior to the foundation of the world, let him be considered anathema, a curse which applies exclusively to the reprobated non-elect, even before the foundation of the world.”
“If anyone asserts that faith is not a gift bestowed solely upon the elect, even prior to the foundation of the world, let him be considered anathema, a curse which applies exclusively to the reprobated non-elect, even before the foundation of the world.”
Both these churches admit that faith is a prerequisite for salvation but not the only requirement to obtain justification. To the Roman Catholic Church faith plus the sacraments of the church ultimately saves. And even then, they have no assurance of salvation and must suffer for their sins in purgatory.
Each denomination must be examined critically, as many can be classified as worse than Satanism due to their deviation from biblical truth.
The Calvinists adamantly declare that mankind who is totally depraved does not have the ability to believe. Only those who are sovereignly and monergistically regenerated by God (the elect) are granted the gift of faith only after their salvation. It reaches a stage where it is suggests that God’s love is not extended to everyone, as affirmed by John 3:16.
These doctrines are both recognized as doctrines of demons, according to the Bible (1 Timothy 4:1), thereby placing them firmly in the realm of being “worse than Satanism.” As soon as one tampers with the finished work of Christ on the cross, you have gone too far and walk in a minefield of demonic doctrines which is nothing else but ‘worse than Satanism’ itself.
Here now are some of the churches who doggedly cling to doctrines of devils ‘worse than Satanism’ itself
Roman Catholic Church
The most evil and blasphemous doctrine ever to be devised by devils is the Catholic Mass known as the Eucharist during which it is believed that the bread and wine become the real presence of Christ, known as transubstantiation.
Indeed, this is a total repudiation of Christ’s divinity, suggesting that the propitiatory death of Christ on the cross was insufficient to atone for sin, thus necessitating thousands of bloodless offerings on Catholic altars throughout the world.
Christ’s divinity, being one with the Father, could not possibly have failed to atone for sin in a single act of obedience to the Father. Hence the profound statement in Hebrews 10:10, “ And in accordance with this will [of God] we [who believe in the message of salvation] have been sanctified [that is, set apart as holy for God and His purposes] through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed) once for all.
Moreover, Isaiah 53 is an indisputable testimony to the fact that Christ’s “once for all” atonement sealed his finished work on the cross. The steadfast use of the past tense in Isaiah 53 indicates that God had already finished what pleased Him to do, as if it had already been done during the writing of Isaiah.
What God purposes and promises to do, He always performs to perfection. There’s no need for Him to do a thing over and over again to accomplish what He intends doing. In fact, the moment He speaks it is though it is already finished.
Verse 10 of chapter 53 magnanimously portrays God’s “once for all” act of bruising (beating to pieces, smiting, crushing) His only begotten Son for the sins of the world. Why would He continuously do so in the ritual of the Eucharist when He had already accomplished what He planned to do more than 2000 years ago?
Would it have pleased Him to ceaselessly crush His Son when He had already done so once? These facts prove that the Eucharist is a doctrine of devils and therefore worthy of be labelled a doctrine “worse than Satanism.”
Satanism: More and More Widespread Among Catholics | EWTN
Calvinism
Calvinism constitutes a direct assault on and denial of the fact that God is the very essence of love (1 John 4:8). As such, it compromises the command to love without reservation, even your enemies, since if the Source of love does not extend love to all, your own love will be inadequate, and you cannot claim to be in God and Him in you. (1 John 4:16).
John MacArthur, who was esteemed one of the most respected Calvinists of the last 5 to 6 decades, said this of God’s love,
MacArthur’s notion that God does not love everyone savingly because his love is controlled and qualified by his glory starkly contradicts biblical truth. God has no respect of persons (Romans 2:11). So, why would He choose to love some (the elect) and not the rest of mankind?
Furthermore, He affirms that He has no pleasure in the death of the wicked but that the wicked turn from his way and live? (Ezekiel 33:11). God would not implore the wicked to repent and embrace the Gospel if He believed that their alleged total depravity rendered them incapable of doing so.
If God did not love everyone savingly, as MacArthur says, Peter would never have said, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance,” because ”the longsuffering of the Lord is salvation” (1 Peter 3:20).
These sections of Scripture clearly establish that Calvinism is a doctrine of devils, and as such, it deserves the classification of being “worse than Satanism.”
Word of Faith
The most heretical teaching of the Word of Faith church is the belief that they are little gods in God’s class,
Steven Furtick goes even further by asserting that he is God Almighty.
Steven Furtick says: I AM GOD ALMIGHTY- blasphemy
Watch his facial expressions; they are expressions of Satan incarnate dressed in white.
Kenneth Copeland Claims Sinners Are Equal With God?!?
This is the same hiss of the snake who wanted to be like God (Isaiah 14:12-14) and told Eve that they would be like God, knowing good from evil. The first thing they noticed was that they were naked — physically and spirituality before God.
“Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me.” (Isaiah 46:9).
“…that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.” (Exodus 9:14).
“There is none like You, O LORD; You are great, and Your name is great in might.” (Jeremiah 10:6).
“…among all the wise ones of the nations… there is none like You.” (Jeremiah 10:7)
Apostasy, prevalent in these churches, is a stark reminder that such teachings are indeed worse than Satanism.
The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is yet another group that espouses beliefs that can be deemed worse than Satanism.
Their statements of faith remain steadfast in their commitment to Classical Evangelicalism, affirming that Jesus Christ is the sole Savior, that He was crucified and subsequently resurrected, and that He ascended to heaven with the promise of His return.
However, this is a scam they deceptively use as bait to draw the unsuspected into cultish practices such as slain in the spirit, unbiblical gibberish they call speaking in tongues, grave soaking (Benny Hinn), health, wealth and prosperity, and positive and negative confessions. Numerous unconventional interpretations regarding the spiritual death of Jesus Christ are evidenced by the following quotes.
“He tasted spiritual death for every man. Spiritual death means separation from God. Jesus tasted it for you and me. He tasted death—every phase of death. Physical death. Spiritual death. Spiritual death is Satan’s nature. God laid on Jesus everything Satan had in his nature.” — Kenneth E. Hagin [youtube.com]
“Jesus was made sin. He accepted the sin nature of Satan in His own spirit.”
— Kenneth E. Hagin (paraphrased in multiple transcripts and recordings of the same sermon) [youtube.com]“Jesus paid for our sins and our mistakes, but He didn’t pay for our poverty.” —Source: Joyce Meyer sermon transcript, The Word, the Name, the Blood, cited by Apprising Ministries and other theological review sites.

If these God-dishonouring remarks fail to instil a shiver of anger in you, it is probable that you are not saved, having been ensnared in a vortex of deceit and lies. Such statements are the most contemptible imaginable and could only stem from demons, justifying the label ‘worse than Satanism.’
Charismatic and Pentecostal Churches
Numerous Charismatic and Pentecostal pastors have developed a fascination with the Roman Catholic Church. A notable instance of this was when the late Tony Palmer encouraged Kenneth Copeland’s followers to unite with the Roman Catholic Church. He even shared a video featuring the late Pope Francis extending the same invitation.
This document, which promotes a shared witness, can be seen as worse than Satanism as it undermines biblical teachings.
Such alliances between evangelical and Catholic leaders are indeed worse than Satanism, leading many astray.
Apostasy is rife in these churches with their emphasis on speaking in tongues, visions and dreams, prophecy (foretelling the future) and especially health, wealth and prosperity. As such, they are also nothing else but doctrines of devils and worse than Satanism.
New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)
The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), founded by C Peters Wagner, prioritizes personal experience over Scriptural authority and promotes contemporary “apostles” in place of conventional church governance.
The Mormon views of Jesus are fundamentally flawed, making their teachings worse than Satanism.
Their emphasis on experience (dreams, visions, and encounters) rather than Scripture alone, is a blatant rejection of God’s Word which is extremely dangerous. It warrants the serious indictment in 1 Samuel 15:23, “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee . .”
These teachings starkly contrast with biblical truth, reinforcing the belief that they are worse than Satanism.
This movement has gained considerable influence within American Christianity, particularly through churches such as Bethel Church and Hillsong Church, renowned for their worship music and teachings.
Critics contend that the teachings of NAR, including the acceptance of “new” revelations and the practice of spiritual warfare, result in spiritual manipulation and a deficiency in biblical accountability.
The movement is noted for its focus on signs and wonders, which frequently accompany erroneous doctrine, and it has been subject to allegations of moral misconduct involving the leaders of Bethel and Hillsong churches.
Such adherence to flawed doctrine can only be seen as worse than Satanism.
Indeed, God’s Word clearly states:
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. (Matthew 16:4).
The moral misconduct of their leaders stems from the flesh rather than the Spirit. False prophets can be recognized by their fruits.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (Matthew 7:15-20)
While NAR has attracted many followers, it raises concerns about its impact on the Christian faith and the integrity of its teachings. It would be tough to not acknowledge the NAR as supporters of evil doctrines and to classify them as “worse than Satanism.”
Campus Crusade
Ultimately, these beliefs are doctrines of demons, positioning them as worse than Satanism.
It is astonishing how many churches and institutions that are not affiliated with any denomination are willing to take hands with the Roman Catholic Church to allegedly evangelize the world. One such institution is Campus Crusade for Christ of which Bill Bright was the founder and president.
He played a crucial part in the drafting of the “Evangelicals and Catholics Together” document of 1994. This document, which has been signed by notable evangelical and Catholic leaders, aims to encourage a shared witness among Protestants and Catholics in today’s world. It underscores the necessity of spiritual ecumenism and practical ecumenism, drawing extensively from the theology of the New Testament and the Trinitarian doctrine articulated in the Nicene Creed.
What, may we ask, does the New Testament have in common with “spiritual and practical” ecumenism? One of the primary stipulations in the document is that Catholics and evangelicals should stop aggressive proselytization of each other’s flocks. This undermines Christ’s command to go into all the world and to make disciples of all the nations.Their ecumenical compromise with the Roman Catholis Church undoubtedly is inspired by doctrines of devils and is “worse than Satanism.’
Thus, the United Methodist and Dutch Reformed Churches continue to propagate beliefs that are indeed worse than Satanism.
Mormonism
Since the launch of “The Chosen,” directed by Dallas Jenkins, who claims that his close collaboration with Angel Studios, a production company owned by Mormons, is merely a business arrangement, Roman Catholics are promoting it to advance their doctrines. Jenkins denies that his series is a blend of Protestantism and Mormonism and yet has said on several occasions that they are brothers and sisters in Christ and worship the same God.
In summary, many teachings in contemporary Christianity are being found to be worse than Satanism.
Jonathan Roumi, who portrays Jesus, along with Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg, are promoting the spread of Roman Catholicism’s Eucharist on television. During their visit, Jenkins had the opportunity to shake hands and exchange a few words with Pope Francis, experiencing the deceased’s playful humour. The Pope pointed at Roumie and remarked, “This is Jesus,” before gesturing towards Jenkins with a mischievous grin, asking, “You are Judas?” This prompted a swift series of “no’s” from the director and a hearty laugh from Francis. Jenkins then clarified that he is Protestant, but stated, “I am creating the series for everyone who loves Jesus.”
The Mormon’s non-biblical perspectives regarding God the Father and God the Son demonstrate that they adhere to doctrines of demons, thus justifying the label of being ‘worse than Satanism.’ In their outstanding dissertation titled ‘The Truth about Mormonism,’ Dennis and Rauni Higley state:
Brigham Young taught that Jesus was a spirit child of Adam and spirit brother of all humankind, as well as a brother of angels, spirit beings, even the fallen ones, i.e., Jesus being a brother of Lucifer. Brigham further taught that Jesus was also physically a son of Adam who as an exalted resurrected being had come to Mary and fathered Jesus. Brigham also emphasized that Jesus was not begotten by the Holy Ghost, as the Bible says.
This teaching shows that the Jesus of the LDS Church is not “Emmanuel,” “God with us,” God who, according to the Bible (Matt. 1:23) became a man for us, to be our Redeemer. Jesus of the LDS Church is a created being who also had to be redeemed… But Jesus of the Bible is the Creator – uncreated God who created everything, including Lucifer (John 1:3; Col. 1:16). The Truth About Mormonism – Apologetics

The Truth About Mormonism – Apologetics
Hebrew Roots
One notable trait that is painfully evident within the Hebrew Roots movement is their refusal to heed the truth. They obstinately ignore the stern admonition found in Galatians 3:10, which directly references Deuteronomy 27:26. Furthermore, they brazenly disregard James’ instruction that God’s law is an integrated entirety. Violating even a single commandment renders an individual a lawbreaker, as the same God who issued one commandment is the one who provided them all.
The truth that Jesus satisfied every aspect of God’s Law is largely irrelevant to them, emphasizing their own ineffective attempts to observe the Law as a total failure. It renders them spiritually incapable of worshiping Jesus Christ, as they believe they do not require Him when they think they can satisfy God through their flawed efforts to adhere to God’s Law. Consequently, it can only be regarded as doctrines of devils, deserving to be classified as ‘worse than Satanism.’
Methodist and Dutch Reformed Churches
A matter that is fuelling the flames of apostasy is the abhorrent acceptance of same-sex marriages. The United Methodist Church has embraced an inclusive and affirming approach at the denominational level, allowing for same-sex marriage and the ordination of LGBTQ clergy, while maintaining the freedom of conscience for individual pastors and acknowledging the diverse regional contexts worldwide. In May 2024, the UMC General Conference abolished the denomination-wide restriction on clergy officiating at same-sex weddings and altered the definition of marriage in the Book of Discipline to include “two adult persons of consenting age,” instead of only a man and a woman. God’s woes accompany those who dare to change his words and ordinances.
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. (Revelation 22:18-19).
The longstanding claim that homosexuality was deemed “incompatible with Christian teaching” has been eliminated from the church’s Social Principles.
These alterations became effective at the end of the 2024 General Conference, with the updated Book of Discipline set to be fully enforced in January 2025.
The Duch Reformed Church had a see-saw same-sex relationship with the LGBTQ+ community since 2015. During the 2015 Algemene Sinode of the NG Kerk, Dirkie Van der of the Moreletta Church Spuy publicly expressed a greater readiness to discuss same-sex relationships, indicating that some church councils may permit gay ministers, recognize same-sex marriage, that no church council should be obligated to modify its biblical principles, and that diverse interpretations of Scripture should be allowed to coexist within the denomination.
Dirkie van der Spuy served as assessor (vice‑moderator) of the Dutch Reformed Church’s General Synod following the 2015 synod decisions on homosexuality.
After a huge backlash and continued synod debates, Van der Spuy supported the 2016 Extraordinary Synod, which reversed the 2015 decision and reaffirmed marriage between one man and one woman, and rejected same-sex sexual relationships as morally permissible.
In a pastoral email to church leaders, Van der Spuy described the reversal as a “victory for God and His Word,” which drew strong protest from hundreds of clergy and theologians. [kerkbode.c…ians.co.za]. First, they told God to step aside so that they could formulate their own silly ideas on marriage and then baptize the reversal as a victory for God. It’s tantamount to saying, “We helped God to be victorious.”
Watch what happened then In March 2019, the Gauteng High Court (Pretoria) ruled in the case of Gaum and Others v Van Rensburg and Others that the NG Kerk’s 2016 decision was both unlawful and invalid, as it represented unfair discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. As a result, the court completely set aside the 2016 policy. The church reverted to its 2015 position, with the celibacy requirement being eliminated, thus permitting ministers to solemnise same-sex marriages if they wish.
When the Jewish Sanhedrin ordered the disciples not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus, they boldly said, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you and obey you rather than God, you must judge [for yourselves]. (Acts 4:18). They could only act so boldly by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Dirkie van der Spuy and the DRC lack this power because they cowered before a bunch of homosexuals and the Gauteng High Court (Sanhedrin) and told God again to step aside. I doubt whether they are truly saved.
Those who aporove homosexuality and other LGBTQ+ shenanigans are complicit in their deeds. The Bible is very clear on this.
For this reason God gave them over to degrading and vile passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural [a function contrary to nature], and in the same way also the men turned away from the natural function of the woman and were consumed with their desire toward one another, men with men committing shameful acts and in return receiving in their own bodies the inevitable and appropriate penalty for their wrongdoing. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or consider Him worth knowing [as their Creator], God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do things which are improper and repulsive, until they were filled (permeated, saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice and mean-spiritedness. They are gossips [spreading rumors], slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors [of new forms] of evil, disobedient and disrespectful to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful [without pity]. Although they know God’s righteous decree and His judgment, that those who do such things deserve death, yet they not only do them, but they even [enthusiastically] approve and tolerate others who practice them. (Romans 1:26-32)
These facts unequivocally demonstrate that the United Methodist and Dutch Reformed Churches submissively adhere to the doctrines of devils, justifying the label of ‘worse than Satanism.’
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Psalm 9:17).
Lutheran Church
Lutherans believe that the Body and Blood of Christ are “truly and substantially present in, with and under the forms” of consecrated bread and wine (the elements), so that communicants eat and drink both the elements and the true Body and Blood of Christ himself in the Sacrament of the Eucharist whether they are believers or unbelievers. — Wikipedia
The same principle that applies to the Roman Catholic Church in this context is equally applicable to the Lutheran Church. It is still considered a doctrine of devils and must consequently be classified as ‘worse than Satanism.’
Eastern Orthodox Church (Russian Orthodox Church; Greek Orthodox Church)
Like the Roman Catholic Church the Eastern Orthodox Church believes in the real presence of Christ Jesus in the Eucharist which immediately makes it an abomination in the sight of God.
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: (Revelation 17:4).
The most blasphemous feature of the Eucharist is that it is the actual means to realize theosis (divinization/becoming a god). Athanasius, a patron saint of both Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism coined the phrase “The Son of God became man, that we might become god.” No, absolutely not. Jesus was sent to become fully human while He remained fully Godd to seek and to save the lost.
It believes that The Eucharist is the means whereby believers are united to Christ and begin to live theosis. Each time they partake of the wafer and wine of the Eucharist, they become more like Christ. Because, as they believe, Christ is fully present in the Eucharist the faithful receive Christ Himself, not merely reminders or signs.
As such Theosis (the gradual becoming a god) is the bedrock of salvation. Alexander Schmemann, an Orthodox theologian, explicitly characterizes the Eucharist as a “sacrament of deification,” signifying that it is the actual, sacramental method by which humans start to engage in God’s life here and now.
If this does not qualify as a doctrine of devils worthy of being labelled ‘worse than Satanism,’ then I am at a loss for what does.
Christian Science
In Christian Science, a cult founded by Mary Baker Eddy in 1879, salvation is not about accepting Jesus’ atoning death in the traditional sense. Instead, salvation is understood as a spiritual awakening—the process of realizing humanity’s true, God‑given nature. Christian Science is strictly monotheistic. It affirms one infinite God, whom Mary Baker Eddy described with terms like Mind, Spirit, Life, Truth, and Love. Essek William Kenyon who was profoundly influenced by such cults as Science of Mind, Unity School of Christianity, and Christian Science
He coined the phrase “What I confess, I piossess.” Kenneth Hagin lapped up this lie with gusto and took a step further into the abyss with his statement, “Every man who has been ‘born again’ is an Incarnation, and Christianity is a miracle. The believer is as much an Incarnation as was Jesus of Nazareth.” – E. W. Kenyon, The Father and His Family, 17th ed. (Lynnwood, WA: Kenyon’s Gospel Publishing Society, 1964), 100; cf. Kenneth E. Hagin, “The Incarnation,” The Word of Faith, December 1980, 14.
Their rejection of Christ as mankind’s sin-bearer on the cross classifies their doctrines as doctrines of demons and therefore worthy to be labelled as ‘worse than Satanism.’
Anglican Church
The Anglican Church also decided to jump on the same-sex marriage bandwagon. It asserts, ”We are dedicated to upholding biblical sexual ethics and providing biblical —pastoral support; therefore, we fully endorse the assurance articulated in the 1998 Lambeth Conference resolution.
It states that individuals experiencing same-sex attraction are ‘loved by God’ and that all baptized, believing, and faithful individuals, irrespective of their sexual orientation, are complete members of the Body of Christ, making them all brothers and sisters in Christ.
According to the Anglican Church, it can be concluded that baptism, along with faith and faithfulness in performing good works, constitutes the fundamental requirements for salvation.
Your choice of sexual orientation and how to conduct your life is of minimal importance, provided that you are baptized as a professed believer and diligently strive to engage in good deeds. This perspective is evidently a doctrine of devils and thus deserves to be classified as a belief system ‘worse than Satanism.’
WORSE THAN SATANISM: WHO IS TO BLAME?
Two parties are involved in apostasy — false teachers and their followers. Which of these are to blame for the present-day apostasy? Who are the initiators of the apostasy? Paul provides the answer in Acts 20,
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. (Acts 20:29-31).
The fact that ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing effortlessly enter in among the flock, and that men from among themselves find it so easy to speak perverse things, must be contributed to a lack of discernment. Apart from this, Paul says, they have itching ears wanting to hear things that satisfy their carnal instincts and cravings for experiences rather than adhering to solid biblical doctrines (2 Timothy 4:3).
Chaos ensues when a country’s laws are broken and similarly churches fall into spiritual disarray when they shun God’s doctrines in favour of so-called love and unity. Phenomena like speaking in tongues, slain in the spirit, signs and wonders, prophecies, visons and dreams, and healing, of which all are fake signs and wonders, have taken churches by storm. It is said that Pentecostal/Charismatic churches in which these phenomena are paramount are the fastest‑growing Christian movement globally over the past decade.
The pastors, referred to as apostles and prophets, and even generals, exert an extraordinary authoritarian influence over their followers. This is because the same demons present in the generals are passed on to the slain. (1 Timothy 5:22). From that moment onward, their thoughts are shrouded in darkness (2 Corinthians 4:4), making it impossible for any form of warning to break through their stubbornness.
All are to blame, the so-called apostles and prophets, their puppets and their followers.
