Subversion

Subversion from the Beginning is the first book in a series that traces and exposes the unrelenting Satanic opposition to the Christian faith throughout this present evil age. Subversion is Satan's MO to continuously undermine and oppose the essential foundational truths of "the faith" -- the Body of Apostolic Doctrine, primarily related to the person, provision and proclamation of Jesus Christ. An army of Satanically led subversives and worldly forces tirelessly labor to wreak havoc on these vital doctrines. These seditious foes are ministers of deception who deny who Christ is, reject what He has accomplished, and refute everything He said. Their purpose is to confound and confuse the simple message of life, and thwart the plan of salvation that God has for mankind, so that God will fail to bring many sons to glory. And they have no intention of suspending operations until they overthrow the Church and even God Himself. They do know, "if the foundation is destroyed, who can stand?" Many will be overcome and fail to stand, but to those who remain faithful and true to "the once delivered to the saints' faith" (Jude 3) will be "presented faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy" (Jude 24).
In the first two centuries, Christians-followers of Christ and the Apostle's teaching, encountered two major subversive groups in the legalistic Judaizers and the clever minded Gnostics. "The Judaizers": and their successors, "The Legalists" were and are "Preachers of Another Gospel". They called for a return to law-keeping, which is, Satan's most effective scheme to undermine Christian growth and thwart the proclamation of Christ's offer of the free gift of everlasting life to all who simply believe in Him. Legalism is the POP religion of today demanding one "Perform or Perish". "The Gnostics and the Philosophers", were and are preachers of a Mystical Gospel. The Gnostics combined extreme legalism with radical dualistic philosophy to create the first amalgamated counterfeit Christian religion-a match made in hell. It became a template of subversion that other heretical sects would mimic to undermine "the faith". Gnosticism would seemingly ride off into the sunset of heretical history, only to reemerge under the guise of "Christian mysticism". And more recently Gnostic notions are being taught even in many Evangelical schools disguised as Christian leadership training called "Spiritual Formation".
Opposition to the Christian faith has continued relentlessly throughout the ages unto this present evil day, becoming increasingly insidious. Though, at the end of all things, Satan and his army of subverters will be defeated, and the Christian faith will triumph overall, until then, subversion continues unabated.
