In this era, those who govern and the media, denigrate truth as “conspiracy theories”. Wikipedia says, “A conspiracy theory is an explanation for an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful groups, often political in motivation, when other explanations are more probable.” All conspiracy theories are “children” of the “parent” so to speak. And what would that be? The father of all the lies — “The Big Lie,” as it is called. A Big Lie is one so absurd that it could not be made up!
Right now, Lucifer conspires against God, and how does he get to God? Through you. God is Almighty, El Shaddai in the Hebrew. Lucifer can never kill God nor weaken Him but he can undermine Him by making diminishing who He IS.
The first conspiracy has been revealed:
For thou (Lucifer) hast said in thine heart, “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” (Isa 14:13-14)
Why does sin exist? To diminish the Law of God. The doctrine of Satan is the Law of Sin. Paul explained that with clarity:
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. (Rom 7:22-23)
Philosophers would call that declaration “mind-body dualism” — “that the mind and the body are distinct and separable from one another” (ibid), and add to that, that there is a war between the flesh and the mind. Paul implied that sin is physical and inherent. It is. “Original sin” is in the members of everyone because of degenerated blood from the Wicked One.
To dilute the Power of Almighty God, Lucifer is not able to change God, so he changes those made in the image of God. Paul said, “The spirit is willing. but the flesh is weak.” [i] The flesh is weak in the sense that it yields to temptation, but it is strong when the will is weak. The blood is the nourisher of the flesh.[ii]
The spirit of mankind is the spirit of the Wicked One. Since none are without sin, the father of all the living is the Devil: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do” (John 8:44). Sin is genetic… it is in the DNA of everyone. David said that he was “shapen in iniquity”. [iii] Yes, we are all born this way or that way, but the “way” for each person is different because we are all different kinds of beasts.
Everyone is born a sinner. Due to genealogy, today there is one kind of man (adam). That is because inside no one is purely man but contain many of the same traits as the beasts. Genetically, mankind has 97% of their DNA that corresponds to some of the other primates. The difference is merely 3%. Get that: Mankind is 3% civilized and 97% feral! “Born again” should turn that around because perfection is not until glorification, as Adam was before he sinned. [iv]
All mankind has been diminished. The “images” of God have been reduced to images of Lucifer whose traits are evil.
The so-called “conspiracy theory” is that Lucifer is the reason that evil and hatred exists. Remember that secular reasoning in the “Luciferan Conspiracy” is that “other explanations are more probable.” In America right now, “white privilege”, colonialism, and capitalism are deemed the most probable cause of hatred and injustice. They are said to be intertwined because they are all from mainly white western civilizations. That anyone is born in sin, to the all-knowing humanists, is absurdity!
Why do even babies lie? Why do babies throw tantrums? Why do infants hit other infants? Is it because of white privilege and capitalism, or are they born that way? Logic should reveal that bad behavior is inborn and develops just as the other systems grow. The more the ego matures, the more the ego demands!
The “ego” is the “I” in each person. Freud borrowed that from the Greek and Christianity. Jesus is the “Ego Eimi” — the “I AM”.
Infants have a great ego and grow into thinking that they are “as God”. [v] The ego is in the mind — how each person thinks of themselves. For the sons and grandsons of Esau, they were kings and dukes. [vi] For the sons of Israel, there was envy.
Joseph, in his dream, would be royalty, and his brothers the servants. That made them envious. Their egos were aroused, and they sought to kill their brother! Joseph was searching for his brothers in Shechem on behalf of his father. “And when they (his brothers) saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him” (Gen 37:18).
The “conspiracy theory” was that they sought to kill their brother.
When the famine came, the brothers of Joseph came to Egypt for provisions, and by that time Joseph was second after Pharoah. True to his dream, his brothers bowed to him.
But by then, the truth came out. The brothers were warring each with their inner selves: “And they said one to another, ‘We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.’” (Gen 42:21).
Their spirit was willing to be brothers but their fleshes wanted to be greater than him. Christians still battle with that inclination. Overt self-estimation is to under-estimate God. Rather than self-esteem, each should have been like Joseph who was made great because of God-esteem.
Now see the real reason that the brothers sold Joseph into bondage:
4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. 5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. 6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. 7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. (Gen 45:4-7)
Satan caused them to envy and hate their brother. However, clever Lucifer failed to realize his purpose for existing; to tempt and test righteous people. Lucifer is a tool of God. God’s plan was to use envy, strife, and hatred for His purposes.
Joseph did not credit the Great Conspirator but Almighty God, who sent him to Egypt to preserve their posterity. Think on that! Lucifer conspired to be King of the God’s Realm in heaven and earth, but he really assisted God for His Son, Jesus, to have that title. He was more than “King of the Jews” as the sign on the Cross proposed, but King of All Israel in Paradise on Earth and in Heaven.
Satan played the fool in his conspiracy to diminish God by diminishing the progenitors of Jesus. If the brothers had not been contrite, the division would have continued and there would have been no nation of Israel, and no Christ. Strangely, the Luciferan Conspiracy failed, and in the end, it will fail again! Isaiah foresaw the end of the Luciferan Conspiracy:
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! … 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. (Isa 14:11-12, 15)
Isaiah’s “conspiracy theory” was that Lucifer, because he was pompous, would be brought down to hell. He was when Judas hung himself, and because Satan was in him, he fled to Hell through the access in the Potter’s Field at Gehenna.
Jesus did that to Satan from the Cross. Satan was endeavoring to be Jesus and save himself, but to no avail. Satan was a loser and his conspiracy fell apart! Now he goes to and fro, as with Job, waiting on another body to turn into a Beast. He will find one and it will be the Antichrist.
Then what happens? Isaiah saw plainly that he would be brought down “to the sides of the pit;” to wit: “And (Jesus) cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season” (Rev 20:3). Then Satan shall be utterly and finally destroyed. His conspiracy will fail but there will be much collateral damage.
The “collateral damage” in the conspiracy against God are sinners. Those who are not humble enough to bow to Jesus are Satan’s fools, just as Satan used Joseph’s brothers like a fool, but it turned out that God’s Will was being done!
What is seen in the world are not conspiracies of grandiose people who esteem themselves highly. That appears to be so, but in the end, sinners conspire as if by hypnotism by the master conspirator.
Even as the master of conspiracy, Lucifer will still fail, and so will all his fools who think they are pulling the strings. Lucifer can only do what God allows him to do (See the Book of Job). Likewise, all the powerful people of the world are working to God’s Plan so that the righteous from the evil will be threshed out.
In whom do you trust? Do you trust the scientists, the governors, and the president, or do you trust God? Your way is in whom you trust. Yes, there is a conspiracy, and the conspirators use you just as they did Joseph’s brothers. World leaders are merely acting on instructions from the spirits residing in them, but all the while, true Christians know the end of the story!
Jesus wins against everyone. It may appear that he has lost but that is an illusion. Satan wants us to think that all is lost so that everyone will give in. That there is a war going on in the spiritual world seems absurd to most, and they think the most probable causes are oppression, climate change, whiteness, capitalism, and colonialism. Joseph did according to God’s Plan; he colonized sinful Egypt with chosen and peculiar Hebrews to protect their posterity.
Satan (with the cooperation of Pharoah) kept the Jews in bondage to perish their posterity, but God freed them from sin, Pharoah, and Satan, but all the while, Pharoah thought he was doing what was for the common good of Egypt.
God does not do things for the common good, but for the righteousness of the chosen and peculiar people — those who walk the Way of God and look to Jesus. If God did things for the common good, then none would perish. Who does and who does not is dependent on whether sinners conspire with Satan or walk in truth with Jesus all the Way! [vii]

You used Romans chapter 7 in the dissertation when referring to the original sin. Read chapter 8 and you will see what I and the Nazarene church believe about it. That's the big difference between us and many other denominations. Sanctified, filled with the Spirit, are elaborated on deeper in the Nazarene manual. Hey, you used to be one! Thanks.
