Front Companies vs False Religions

Index

Do you enjoy watching spy movies? Although Hollywood would have us believe that all spies live action-packed lives, in reality most of them make every attempt to live very transparent lives, blending into the woodwork. Some will come into a foreign country and quietly setup a seemingly legitimate business but whose real purpose is to spy. These are called “fronts companies” or “Brass Plate Firms.”


What does this have to do with the question about there being good in all religions? Notice2 Cor.11:14,15 (And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps disguising himself as an angel of light. 15 It is therefore nothing extraordinary if his ministers also keep disguising themselves as ministers of righteousness.) Yes, the spies that Satan sends into the world do not come to us saying, “Hi, I’m a false religion.” No, they say, “Hey, we are agents of light and righteousness.” In order to do that, they would have to put forth a believable front by recommending honorable conduct and offering honorable services. A couple types of front organizations mentioned in a Wikipedia article were  humanitarian and scholastic groups. And haven’t the churches typically come in offering food, medicine and education?
