It was the Lord God who created Satan, the serpent, that Dragon who is also called the Devil, who goes about like a roaring lion, seeking who it may devour, causing people to sin.

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

The crooked God creating the crooked serpent. That leviathan that dwells in the midst of the sea (peoples)

Job 26:13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

It prefers its identity to be secret, so it operates like a flaming sword before the tree of life, like said, it seeks to devour the minds of people, their spirit, meaning to keep it focused on this world, doing deeds of unrighteousness.

Ephesians 2:2-3 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

It is the same flaming sword placed in the way of the tree of life, the same tree the Lord God didn't want people to reach out and eat from. And as you can read, the Lord God states like him, man now knows good and evil. The Father of Jesus does only good, and wants us to know only righteousness. What people neglect about righteousness, is that it starts in the mind, in the spirit, which has received the knowledge of God. People who believe they're good they deceive themselves, because the fact is, most people's thoughts are evil, and are of the wicked one that rules over them. They know not what they do.

Genesis 3:23- 24 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Naturally that flaming sword isn't a literal flaming sword, the same way the tree of knowledge of good and evil isn't an actual tree, but that sword is man's own thoughts slaying them every time, since it is the soul that is Satan, and the eating of the apple, is following in the ways of our own heart of good and evil, and without the knowledge of the Father whose tree is only of the knowledge of good, man will continue on its path, following the course of this world, and being conformed to it. Incidentally, the reason for these parables and similitude's in the scriptures is because it is harder for man to corrupt the truth when they can't see it. And they already use religion as a tool to rule over the minds of the people, conquering them and seducing them.

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

If your have read the old testament, you'll know that the Lord God states that the imagination of the hearts of men are evil from its youth in HIS creation, and if you have followed what Jesus taught, he states that all evil comes from the heart.

Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

The living soul, the first state of man. The living soul that the Lord God breathed into man in the beginning, the living soul that is full of the knowledge of good and of evil.

Matthew 12:33-37 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

The same living soul that people think they are, and truly are judged by. Judged by their own contents of their own hearts, which imagines all evil that man does. Man really does reap what they sow, because they continue to eat from that tree of knowledge of good and evil, further imprisoning themselves to the law of sin. Try and understand what the following is saying here about yourselves.

Luke 12:57-59 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison. I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

To resist the devil you have to resist your own thoughts to do unrighteousness, casting down every imagination that goes against what Jesus taught.

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

And as you apply what Jesus taught, turning to the Father within, you're given more power to resist the thoughts of the heart, in short as said, the Devil. It was Jesus own heart that tempted him in the wilderness, and what he experienced there was akin to Astral Travel, where his own heart showed him visions of the whole world while he was in the spirit.

Matthew 4:1-4 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

Just who was being tempted here, the Lord, and why is Jesus stating that he is that Lord? More on that later.

Matthew 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

And after the tempter was done, he left Jesus alone for a season, aka a little while. Wilderness is a parable for the soul, since it is bereft of the knowledge of God. That which is desolate. That abomination that we think we are and hold up in high esteem, the contents of which is own own knowledge that we worship, that cup that we drink from daily. Hence the expression, the abomination that makes desolate.

Luke 4:13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.

And when Jesus last day came, the PRINCE of this world had nothing in him, and could tempt him no longer, allowing Jesus to be raised up in his spirit, returning back to Heaven.

John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

He's called prince of the Earth, because the Lord that crafty serpent's creator is the King. The Lord God, being a crooked God liked to test people's righteousness, like when he tested Abram before he was called Abraham when he asked him to sacrifice Isaac for a burnt offering to him..

Genesis 22:1-2 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.  And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

Again, the God of the Old Testament is not the same as the God Jesus talked and taught his disciples about, and even though Atheists in particular like to bring up the contradictions in the Bible, just like the religious assuming there is just one God being talked of in the Bible.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

They're in fact no contradictions, people are just mislead by doctrine. The Lord God stated himself that he is good and evil, and thus does just that. The Father is only good and does only good, as Jesus taught. What do people think making straight way is referring to? You straighten out what is crooked, obviously. Here's the Lord practically telling his child the soul to torment Job.

Job 1:7-8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

The Father, the God of Heaven tempts no man, nor tests man, remember that when people say they're being tested because of their religious faith, because some people sure do like the role of being persecuted. Even on this day of writing it has become an industry. What they do not know is that they're constantly being persecuted and judged by their own hearts. As skilfully mentioned in the book of Job

Job 9:20-24 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life. This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent. The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?

Again remember what Jesus said about Elijah's God, the Lord.

Luke 9:54-56 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

Reading all that, why do you think that crooked way needed to be made straight? Simply because the way of the Lord God and his creation is crooked, both good and evil. The end goal is to be only good. Righteous. So, the crooked Lord God and his ways needed to be made straight, since after all the Father is all mercy all and all forgiving, and what Father wouldn't forgive his only begotten Son, who originally sinned against Heaven.

Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Ask yourself why FORGIVENESS is such an important part of the teachings of Jesus, because if you do not forgive, the Father won't forgive your unrighteousness, because we all trespass against the law of heaven regardless of what we've been taught to believe, after all, we are here and not in Heaven.

Luke 15:18-20 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

So, Jesus was sent back to the Earth in the flesh, as that hired servant. The shepherd for the sheep, to finish his Father's work.

Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

The same one, since Jesus isn't God, he is the Lord God, well at least was the Lord God, though his disciples did call him Lord (Why do you think that is?) and stated ALL will be redeemed, apart from that SON of perdition, the heart in a man, the soul. Since that tree of knowledge of good and evil will be left to wither, because it will have nothing in us.

Isaiah 14:11-15 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

He first fell for sinning against the Father of Heaven, that son of the morning, and he was raised up to be once again as the Morning star. The Father is ALL forgiving, because he is that which is ALL good.

Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And as the example to follow we must do the same, in our own time of regeneration (A time to be born a new).

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

We are here because of him, and so we must return to Heaven because of him, each in their own time.

Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Do you not think the Father knowing everything before time wouldn't allow a way back for all who sinned against Heaven, even the one some call God's favourite Angel? Again, he is the ALL GOOD. Key to remember is what Jesus said about the scriptures of the Old Testament.

John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

They are about the LORD and speak of him. Difficult to believe, because you'll need the revelations from the Father to understand, and when you understand, you will be disturbed and then you will marvel, as stated in the book of Thomas.

Thomas 1:-1-2 And he said, "Whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death." Jesus said, "Those who seek should not stop seeking until they find. When they find, they will be disturbed. When they are disturbed, they will marvel, and will reign over all. [And after they have reigned they will rest.]"

No one can truly know this without the revelations from the Father, the word of God in them. Oh yes, people can say Jesus is Lord, because some believe Jesus to be God himself, but few of the very few can understand that Jesus IS Lord AND Christ, knowing truly what that would mean.

1 Corinthians 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed:(Think hard on why that was said in the first place) and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

So, yes it is true, Jesus is Lord, just not in the way most people think, and when you come to this realisation, the Old Testament begins to make a lot more sense, because a lot of the good the Lord said he would do though his Prophets, Jesus did, but not in his own name like the Lord God said he would do, but in the Fathers. The Lord of the Old Testament only did things in his own name because he set himself up as God. Why do you think Jesus said these two things?

Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Who are THEY, unless those who worship him now, because few people worshipped Jesus back then, (He wasn't a popular man) especially enough to write doctrine in his name, though that has happened in these modern times, so who was he talking about?

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Who said he was Lord of the Sabbath?

Mark 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Who had need of the ass?

Matthew 21:2-5 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

It is why Jesus didn't like to be called good, and only said his Father was good. He knew what manner of spirit he used to be, the one all the Prophets served. Reading the New Testament, his disciples seemed to know that, they couldn't help but call him Lord. So why doesn't anyone else? Why isn't it taught that Jesus is the Lord God of the Old Testament? Well that was just answered, Because no man can say (Know) Jesus is Lord but by the Holy Ghost. And if Jesus wasn't the Lord, why didn't he say so? He stated enough times that he wasn't God his Father, and that he was sent by his Father, but he never rebuked his disciples for calling him Lord, and even called himself that more than once. So it is understandable why some people believe he is God, since we've all been taught by MAN that the God of the Old Testament is the same as the Father of Heaven.

Matthew 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Because before he was sent back to the Earth in the flesh, his paths were crooked, both good and evil, just like ALL of us who were cast out. Again remember what i said about the scriptures being a shadow of GOOD things to come.

Job 18:6-8 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him. The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

Only fitting that he would be the one to correct his error, his sin against Heaven.

Ecclesiastes 7:13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

The answer of course is the Father, and so through prophets, the story of the Lord's redemption was written.

Psalm 51:1-13 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. (The Virgin Birth is a lie) Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop (Remember the Crucifixion), and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
