⚖️ Chart: Biblical Apostasy vs. The Antichrist Lie of Inner Divinity
This table starkly contrasts the position of the Defense of the Truth with the foundational error of the coming Global Religion of Self.
| Theological Concept | Biblical Definition (Truth) | The Antichrist Lie (Inner Divinity) | Prophetic Outcome |
| Source of Truth/Divinity | Truth is External. God is a separate, holy Creator who reveals His will through the unchangeable Word (KJV). | Truth is Internal. Divinity is inherent within man; “Christ consciousness” or the “God within.” | The true foundation of faith is Obedience to an external King. |
| Definition of Salvation | Repentance and Reconciliation—A complete turning away from self and sin to be reconciled to a Holy God through Christ’s work alone. | Realization and Awakening—Realizing the divinity you already possess and escaping the illusion of separation. | True salvation requires Costly Grace (self-denial). |
| The Nature of Apostasy | A falling away from the objective, revealed truth (denying the Father and the Son). | A falling into the self—The final spiritual evolution, where man realizes his own godhood (the Serpent’s original promise). | The final result is Judgment upon those who reject the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12). |
| The Final Blasphemy | Idolatry—Worshipping anything or anyone other than the Creator. | Self-Worship—The ultimate blasphemy where the creature sits in the place of God. | This sets the stage for the Man of Sin, who “as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” (2 Thessalonians 2:4, KJV) |
