Satan is working against God and Jesus.
this is how he is doing it:
1) mainstream Christians claim you don't have to be faithful to Jesus to be saved even though Jesus commands us to be faithful to Him until the end..
2) they give false sense of secure by saying all you have to do is believe in Jesus and you are saved. They you will be faithful automatically and you don't have to try to be faithful to Jesus.
3) they attempt very hard to silence the truth of what is going on in the churches by saying, "do not judge," "You are bigoted," "you are hypocrite," "you are judgmental" and so on...
4) They say it is perfectly ok to kill your enemy in self-defense.
5) They get involved with politics even though Jesus says His followers are not of this world. It seems they do it to prove they are godly people.
6) They say things to get the secular world's approval; approving military's involvement in world affairs, gay issues, abortion issues etc.
These are all satan's tactic to water down Jesus' super high standards to live by for His faithful servants.
Jesus' followers are supposed to be example to the world by not behave like them. But most mainstream Christians are no different from secular world because they don't honor Jesus' teachings and commands and they claim they are true Christians and are saved.

Love your enemy and military involvement:
27But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
30Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32For if ye love them which love you what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 33And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34And if ye to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36Be ye therefore merciful, as your Fatheralso is merciful.

Matthew 26:52
“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
And His faithful disciple harmonize with Jesus' word:
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 corinthian 10:4-5)
Romans 12:17-21
17Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. 20Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head." 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
II Corinthians 10:3,4
"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds."
Ephesians 6:12
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
, His followers are not of this world. Satan, the Prince of the world, salt and light of the world. Love of the Father is not in you.
Satan, the prince of the world:
John 12:31
Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.
Jesus' followers are not of this world:
John 17:15-16
New International Version (NIV)
15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
Salt and light:
Matthew 5:13-16
[ Salt and Light ] “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. ...
Keep My commands
John 14:15
New International Version (NIV)
15 “If you love me, keep my commands. _________________ YHWH is my God and Jesus is my Lord
