The human EGO.

LONG ANSWER

The devil … that which determines evil … “is an enemy of God, and has been from the fall of Adam.”

The devil’s true nature was clearly explained in the Real Illuminati®‘s new American scripture, the Book of Mormon:

“The natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.”

An “enemy of God” fights God and tries to undermine God’s work relating to human existence. (Please see the LONG ANSWER to the other FAQ: If God is going to destroy this solar system anyway, why make a final effort to save it?)

Humans do not want to take personal responsibility for their actions, especially not for those acts that a person knows are not good, or rather, agreeable to God. “The devil made me do it,” is a ubiquitous and universal truth that humans use to relief themselves of guilt and personal responsibility.

In order to understand the true nature of the devil, one must first understand the true nature of God.

In Joseph Smith’s original 1842 Endowment Play/Presentation, he made it very clear that Lucifer, the god of this world, was the ONLY spiritual entity listening to and answering the religious prayers of all humans living upon Earth, after the fall of Adam. At no time, after the fall, did God ever tell Adam and Eve that they would have continual access to God, having been kicked out of God’s presence. The endowment presentation shows Elohim and Jehovah, the characters that represent a Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus, the Christ, far off and away from Earth, unaware of anything happening upon this Earth.

Joseph Smith, who was NOT a TRUE MESSENGER DISCLOSING HIS TRUE IDENTITY, CLEARLY presented the Real Truth® about Lucifer, the god of this world, in his incredible 1842 play/presentation. The TRUE NATURE of God and the devil will be explained in the sermons Christopher, a TRUE MESSENGER, gives each week. If you are interested in having a basic understanding of this Real Truth®, as Joseph Smith presented it to his followers, NONE of whom were worthy of the Real Truth®, consider reading this book: Sacred Not Secret.

Otherwise, you’ll need to attend the weekly sermons so that this information can be given to you “line and upon line, precept on precept.”
