This doctrine has been controversial for many years and has been a hindrance to many Christian beliefs. This demonic doctrine is responsible for many Christian souls being lost to the pits of Hell. Satan had a meeting with his other high-ranking demons and associates, to determine how they could use God's bible to deceive Christians to Hell. As we know even in the garden, Satan was good at manipulating God's word to his advantage. Genesis 3:4 states. “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:” Satan knew the day man ate of the fruit of good and evil knowledge, they were already dead spiritually. Satan deceived Eve stating her physical body won't die right away, which in part was true. Satan conveniently left out the most important part about their spirit being in jeopardy of spiritual death, which is more important than physical death. Satan knows once an unrepentant person's body dies, they're doomed to suffer eternal spiritual death for their sins. Romans 6:23 states, "For the wages of sin is death, but the [a]gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Fruit of the knowledge of evil can also translate to deceptional demonic doctrine. Many Christians are eating this lie today and is leading many souls to Hell. As the snake said, you won't surely die living under this deception, but you will find out at the end of your life you were deceived. Many Christians believe they can go through the motion of accepting Christ into their life on a Sunday morning, and then live how they want Monday through Saturday. God didn't call us just to be Christians on Sunday, but every day of the week. 2 Chronicles 15:2 states, "And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you."
How can you forsake God? 1 Kings 9:6 states, “But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:” Those who don't follow Gods commandments forsake him through their actions. 1 Peter 1:16, states, "Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." God's command is for us to strive to live a holy life with his help. He knows we will mess up, but there's a difference between a righteous man making mistakes along the way versus someone willingly indulging in sin knowing it's wrong. Proverbs 24:16 states, "For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief." God wants Christians to strive for a state of holiness as Jesus lived while he was on earth. Philippians 3:14 states, "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Christians believe as long as they initially accept salvation, they can live how they want and repent later. When one decides to entertain this mindset, they are gambling with Satan for their eternity. Many Christians believe as long as they have a winning hand in (salvation), they can beat Satan. Christians fail to understand that a player can still lose the game with a winning hand if the cards aren't played right. Satan has beaten many Christians with the card of "lacking true repentance". Proverbs 28:13 states, "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." Can a person say they're truly repented of sin if they continue to indulge in that same sin willingly? You can't indulge in the same sins you claim God has delivered you from willingly and think you're getting into heaven. Romans 6:1-2 states, " What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" Is it considered a gamble for a person to confess Christian all their life, but look at pornography and masturbate along with it? This person is doing this without a guilty conscience thinking it's ok because they accepted Jesus down at the altar. What if this Christian died without quitting and repenting from these sins? Do you think they would go to heaven? As a Christian would you take this risk? Hebrews 10:26-27, states, "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries."
In summary, salvation is not a license to live the way you want, but an opportunity to live the way God desires for you. Many Christians will lose the bet against Satan because they choose to live by deceptive demonic doctrine, originating from the library of Hell. Will you be one of them? will you gamble with your salvation? God didn't purchase your salvation for you to gamble it away with Satan.
