There is nothing more that Satan more desires than that we should believe that he doesn't exist. ~Bishop Wordsworth~
You are following a different way that pretends to be the Good News but is not the Good News at all. You are being fooled by those who twist and change the truth concerning Christ {Gal. 1:6-7}.
Centuries ago, Jesus warned His followers to be careful: "Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep, but are really vicious wolves" {Matt. 7:15}. This warning is as relevant today as it was all those years ago, because we still have those with us who manipulate the Scriptures or present us with a weak version of the gospel.
They may succeed in presenting it in a very attractive and innocent way, but they are doing great harm by undermining the gospel and the church of Christ.
There is no easy way to salvation, and anyone who shows no respect for Jesus' teachings must be regarded with suspicion. When Jesus called you to take up your cross and follow Him, He made it quite clear that He is the only Way. As you undoubtedly know, this means unreserved surrender to Christ and His commands.
Anything else, no matter how acceptable it may seem, is not from God. To help you identify these false prophets, Jesus said, "Not everyone who calls out to Me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of My Father in heaven will enter" {Matt. 7:21}.
Lord Jesus, keep my feet on the right way - Your way. Amen.
