Pt.1
The game of chess…
a game which requires profound depth of skill and understanding complex strategizing, as well as reading the board accurately, and anticipating potential future moves of your opponent. Players of this game must cultivate a strategic mindset, enabling them to visualize several moves ahead, to consider not just their OWN possible options, but to predict THEIR opponent’s responses.
Now, I am not saying playing chess will give you the innate ability to read the future
[fact checker put your crystal ball away, and follow along]…
But,
It does involve foresight, which is a mixture of memory, where knowledge of HISTORICAL games and PATTERNS is essential, throw in a mix of creative PROBLEM-SOLVING, which then gives you the ABILITY TO ADAPT and formulate NEW STRATEGIES on the fly…
You are in theory, analyzing countless moves ahead, in other words BIG PICTURE thinking, down the road, which involves the MENTAL GAME of cause and effect, where each decision can lead to multiple POSSIBLE outcomes. It involves POSITIONAL play, where you recognize the STRENGTHS and WEAKNESSES of the chess pieces on the board.
It is an art form, and those who have honed this skill done so through years of study, practice, and competition – thus earning the coveted title of Grandmaster.
So, now we have set the scene...

Newsflash...
You are in a game of two ideologies. A game that involves humanity and the universes alike. A game in which the very foundations of its systems, is being challenged, and the pawns in this game is humanity whether you, or I choose to participate or not. We see it happening all around us and inside our bodies and living organisms.
This is a game that is universally referred to by such alias’s as the game of good vs evil, light vs darkness, left vs right, truth vs error, love vs hate, Jesus vs Satan, whichever tickles your fancy, it does not change the fact that,
YOU are a part of this game and your opponent, as per the biblical narrative is that guy, satan and his demonic entities. Yeah, him..
This game is nearing its final moves and gameplay .. if you win, as per the biblical narrative then you meet Jesus, throw in heaven, a few sprinkles of hallelujahs and an initiation into the winners circle oh yeah, and immortality.
The latter – chicken slaughter house, south east Australia somewhere or better known in the biblical narrative as the 2nd judgment of guilty sinner, hell fire of Revelation 20.
It is imperative then, as a participant, that you have a full grasp and understanding of the story, the opponent and the rules and structure of the game…
Sounds reasonable right?
Ok, with that said, I will reveal to you a deception that so MANY Christians, and new believers entering the faith, are unaware about today that the devil has cleverly planted right in the heart of some prevalent Christian belief systems and churches …
and unless you take action to change your approach to your playbook, as the landscape of the board nears the times of trouble of Revelation 13, you will lose, and lose before you can even begin.
I want to help you stay in the game, and not lose your gift of salvation. It is precious, it is yours, and as your brother in Christ, I don’t want you to be duped.
so get your bible out, and takenote friends,
_____________
The following is a segment of Jesus famous sermon on the mount, which is found in Mathew chapter 5 which the devil has successfully planted his seed of confusion in, smack bang in the middle.
The deception ploy is as follows….that Jesus, in His life, death and resurrection [John 3:16, 17]…
somehow..
ELIMINATED, ERADICATED, REMOVED, the ten commandment laws, and that all you needed to do, to meet Jesus and to enter heaven was to BELIEVE in Him full stop. Sounds about right you say - well not quite, far from it. It is making the claim that you don’t need to worry about sinning.
In other words, sin, gone. You are now free to gossip at the church potluck about the robotic dog the local school purchased on tax funded money without guilt - winning…apparently!
For those who are new truth seekers, it is the notion, that Jesus death paid for your sin, so therefore, when you say “yes Jesus, you are my Lord and Savior, my redeemer,” then by merit of that claim you are saved.
It is once saved always saved.
The idea is good if followed to the t, but in this instance the execution, bad. Why? It is pre supposing that should you choose to follow the 10 commandments or not, or some, then it doesn’t really matter, because Jesus is your get out of jail free card. Your saved, free from restrictions, I guess.
So that is the deception, and quite serious once you understand the gravity of this false claim.
The following is the verse used to support this theory, in misquoting what Jesus was saying.
So quickly read Mathew 5:17-19 to get context -
have a quick break or pause for later, then continue reading to pt. 2.

Pt 2.
I am here today, not only to teach you some strategies, but to call this error out.
It is BALONEY, UNBIBLICAL and a misunderstanding of what Jesus is saying
You have just been punked by your opponent, satan – GOTEM!!
but no dramas, - I have the solution, and it is biblical and no fluff.
Follow along closely and let us not insert our OWN understanding of what the text is saying. Allow the bible to interpret itself, let the spirit of God move you to truth, after all the Word is Jesus [John 1:1]
ready… I’m using NKJV, but any translation will do
1. "Do not think I came to destroy"—other translations clarify as, "Don't misunderstand why I have come." This is crucial, as there's a tactical element at play, a risk that Jesus words could be deliberately misconstrued or misunderstood.
2. "The law, or the prophets"— this refers to the Ten Commandments as written by God, found in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5:22. "The prophets" refers to the Old Testament in the Bible, which is a collection of books penned by various prophets aimed at foretelling the arrival of the Messiah “Jesus” throughout the journeys and stories of the prophets of old.
The Old Testament is categorized into the Torah (the Law), Nevi'im (the Prophets), and Ketuvim (the Writings). Be wary of the tactical deception of the devil here, that the rules have shifted or changed – Jesus is saying it isn’t.
Let me repeat myself - Be very wary of the tactical deception of the devil that the rules have shifted or CHANGED! WAKE UP, it hasn’t…
3. "I did not come to destroy but to fulfill"—Jesus is saying that he came to actualize God’s promise made to Abraham, as cited by Paul in Romans 4:11, a promise echoing through the ages through Issac, Moses, David, and other figures chronicled in Jesus genealogy in the first few verses of the New Testament.
Jesus is CLEARLY stating that this is NOT an abolishment but a completion of the law. Here's the tactical misdirection employed by satan to misdirect the brethren and believers: claiming the Ten Commandments are obsolete, done away with, thus luring you into a false sense of permissible anarchy, and a false sense of salvation. Understand the text,..
Jesus is saying, that by coming on to the scene, He [Jesus] has fulfilled the old testament prophesies, He is the long awaited Savior of the Jewish nation, that the prophets were foretelling. It was unfortunate they didn’t see this, but to be clear, he came to fulfill, not remove anything.
Heavy stuff folk and easy to misunderstand if you gloss over it, but the text continues,
4. "Until heaven and earth pass away...not one jot or one tittle"—this assertive claim Jesus is saying is that the writings of the Old Testament and the Ten Commandments remain relevant until the second coming of Jesus at the end of the world. God’s law [ten commandments] remains active and pertinent, meaning that no detail of the commandments, however minute, tiny or a slight change, will be neglected until its PURPOSE is fully realized.
This purpose is made clear in Romans 3:20. It is through the law, we understand that we are sinners. It is through the law, we understand the two ideologies being debated. It is through the law, we decide whose ideology we stand for. [future post]
The tactic here is night and day folks. Satan is making many Christians believe and dividing everyone within, that the foundational rules of Creator God have somehow evolved, thus the innocent, unassuming, possibly ignorant Christian, is unknowingly continuing down the path of disqualification, and ultimately losing their salvation.
Hot take: IT IS POSSIBLE TO LOSE your SALVATION!! [10 virgins parable anyone?] …
4. "If you ignore any of these commandments and teach others to do the same, you will be called least in the kingdom of heaven"—it's straightforward to understand: if you lead others to believe that the rules are OUTDATED or DONE AWAY, or that the NEW CHURCH, or this and that preacher, priest, teacher, church, influencer and so on, and so on said so…
well…Jesus, our representative in heaven right now, is looking you face to face, so you don’t misunderstand the following, that your gift, your pardon WILL be taken away, REMOVED.
Yes, Salvation removed. If you claim, and then you are teaching, that some of the law, or some need to be removed, or some restrictive and not so inclusive…etc., then He [Jesus] will REJECT you.
[context Matthew 7:23, note they claimed to have known Jesus and in reply Jesus is saying I paraphrase “I don’t know ya lad, keep it moving..”]
The rest of the verse though says, if you teach others the opposite. Teach others the TRUE meaning, as you and I have just read, then you will be saved. Salvation guaranteed.
Friends, this is satanic deception, war tactics 101. Defeat your enemy from within. This isn’t a smokey, random person with nothing better to do than to divide the brethren and if you say so, then go and read all my posts to understand that I stay in my own lane, and not by what he said, she said, but what the bible says..
To be unequivocally clear, a “thus saith the Lord” type of guy.
Read it again if you still doubt – its your move anyway!
but…
Good news, like any loyal brother, we have one in Jesus. He has made the following very clear [Rev 14:4]. Follow my advice, my moves, my instructions, my presence, my body language, my thinking, my way, my example, my direction, my bravado..
and you will be VICTORIOUS!
Don’t be deceived before you make your move. Understand the game, understand the rules. Your opponent is here to play, and win – at whatever cost, and you are just a pawn, standing in his way. A pawn that is created in the image of the one he hates, as it is a daily reminder of how precious YOU, friends, are to Creator God.
Jesus is the way, the truth, the life. You are His treasured souls.
Wake up and get in the game – finish strong!
“Here is the patience of the saints, here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus” Rev 14:13
