I guess that just goes to show that Christians are so all over the place that virtually everything sounds Christian in some form or another. A clever tactic, given that this virtually ensures the survival of Christianity.

2 Corinthians 11
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Even Islam wants to claim ties to Jesus. Most religions do.
However, it's not a clever tactic to ensure the survival of Christianity. In reality, it's a clever tactic to destroy Christianity just like the Bible said Satan would try to do.

I'm saying that you're being deceived by Satan/Lucifer because you don't know who Christ really is and he doesn't want you to know.

What's meant to be known by us will be given to us by the Lord at the proper time. We're not supposed to go looking for them lest we open ourselves up to other spirits as well.
Deuteronomy 29:29
29 The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Now that God has found you and given you a taste of what's out there, why don't you seek him further the way he's asked people to do? God's not deceiving anyone. Satan is. This is why the Bible is important. If everyone would take the time to read it, they would know what to look out for and how to seek Jesus the way it was intended.
A true God wouldn't send you into this world without some instruction and guide to go by, but he will allow you the choice of free will to either pursue it his way or your own. That's the way it was meant to be from the beginning.
"It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows." -- Epictetus

I think he forgot to explain why something that is a mirror image of us would think to judge us...
