Evil Disguised
- Devil represents the Devil and False Christians.
- Kid represents Non-Christians.
- Christ represents Christ and Christians.
Sadly, some people hate Christianity, not because of Christ or His teachings, but because of a person, claiming to be a Christian, who acted in a non-Christian (sinful) way towards them.
Christians can sin, and cause hurt to people, but if they are really a Christian they will practice Christianity. That means, after sinning, they will repent of the sin and make things right towards the person they hurt. Sometimes a Christian may not realise they caused hurt, and in that case they may need to be lovingly informed.
People (who are really offspring of the devil) can disguise themselves as Christians and give Christianity a bad name with all the non-Christian things they do.
Non-Christians then become opposed against God; not because of anything God promotes but because of their bad experience with unchristian practices.
God says it is wrong to steal. If someone who claiming to be a follower of God, steals from you, are you going to get angry at God? Unfortunately, so many people do.
If you hate God because of something you rightly understand in the Bible, then your hate is valid and in alignment with your values. But don’t hate God for something He Himself hates.
Your feelings of being hurt are valid and should be felt, but please try and see things clearly and not let your emotions cloud your judgement. Be righteously angry at the right things.
…for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
2 Corinthians 11:14-15
(Jesus talking to the religious Pharisees)
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
John 8:44
(Paul talking to Jewish Christians who breaks God’s commands)
…God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.
Romans 2:24
