Why is 'the fall' important to christians?

Answer 1

Unfortunately for the modern professing Christian denominations, they remain ignorant of the fact that nowhere in The Bible does it say that "man fell."

Man was created "physically perfect" and "spiritually neutral." He had no lofty station or pedestal from which to fall. They were adults with the blank minds of children, with all of life's experiences before them.

God taught them His rules of conduct, His laws, statutes and Commandments... and Satan taught them to disobey them. They didn't "fall" from anything... they "lost" something - their newborn "innocence." They learned "sin" when they disobeyed God's Commandments [I John 3:4] and chose a god other than their Creator.

The concept of "falling" among the Christian denominations maintains the "guilt complex" and low self-esteem in their flocks that the churches depend upon to bring people back for their weekly shallow "stirring of human emotion" that makes people think they've been "moved by the spirit."

Meanwhile, all the shallow doctrines of the churches that they count on as their "eternal reward" are only of satanic origin... not the promises of God.

"Going to heaven" isn't God's promise to man... nor is "go to heaven" found anywhere in the Bible, except ONE PLACE.

Going to heaven is SATAN'S HEART'S DESIRE!

"...for thou hast said in thine heart, I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN..." (Isa.14:13).

How about the "hell fire" that man is taught by his religions, that God is preparing for his "fallen self?" What is the Truth of the Bible about that?

"...Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, PREPARED FOR THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS..." (Matt.25:41).

Yes, wick men shall be cast into the Lake of Fire... but it will be kindled to consume the wicked works of Satan and his demons... including any incorrigibly wicked men who absolutely cling to disobedience and refuse the salvation of God. Not because "man fell."

"...according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience..." (Eph.2:2).

"...because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience." (Eph.5:6)

* Satan wants to go to heaven... so, "going to heaven" is included in the false doctrines of the churches of men.

* The Lake of Fire is prophesied as prepared for Satan and his angels... so, an "ever-burning hell fire" is an integral part of man's religions, especially for "fallen man."

And finally - IT WAS SATAN WHO FELL... NOT MAN!

"...I beheld Satan as lightning FALL FROM HEAVEN." (Luke 10:18)

* And, lo, and, behold... we discover this "devastating fall" from God's grace in man's false, guilt-ridden professing Christian denominations, also.

All of Satan's desires and future judgments... transferred onto man by the god he chose to worship in the beginning, when he first disobeyed God's Commandments in the Garden of Eden.

"The fall" isn't important to true Christians, because there never was one.

"The fall" is important to Satan's false Christian denominations, to keep men blinded to God's love and forgiveness... and to strike fear and terror into men's hearts through a God who tortures His children mercilessly and eternally. A tactic better left to Satan, rather than our loving Creator, don't you think?
