EP.849 Mass Deception Part 7:Exposing the "You Will Be Like God" Lie: From Eden to Today's Pulpits

Host Jeff Shepard traces a single ancient lie — "You will become like God" — from Genesis through modern Christian teaching that elevates humanity to divinity. Using recorded statements from well-known ministers such as Kenneth Copeland, Paul Crouch, Bill Johnson, and Benny Hinn, this episode shows how phrases like "I am a little God" and "made man into little gods" echo the serpent's promise in the garden and reappear on pulpits, stages, and television screens today. The episode examines the theological danger of denying Christ's eternal deity, explaining why Jesus must be fully God from the beginning for his sacrifice to save. Key Scripture references are discussed — John 1:1,14; Isaiah 43:10; Isaiah 42:8 — and listeners are reminded that we are redeemed, adopted, and made new in Christ but not converted into divine beings. The program connects modern Sons-of-God teachings to earlier occult and New Age streams, including Theosophy (Helena Blavatsky), Alice Bailey, and the latter rain movement, revealing a continuous influence behind the idea of human divinization. Practical application is emphasized: test all teaching against Scripture, heed the Apostle Paul's warning in 1 Timothy 4:1 about deceitful spirits, and emulate the Bereans by examining the Word carefully. While exposing error, the host affirms that God still meets sincere seekers of the true Jesus — the eternal Son of God who became flesh, died, rose again, and will return as King. Listeners are encouraged to stand firm in orthodox Christian truth, reject teachers who strip Christ of his deity, and live out their faith by loving God, family, and neighbors while making a difference in their communities.
