IMHO the Rapture Doctrine
Before 1830 you can find no mention of the Rapture Doctrine. That alone ought to send up a red flag. In fact, the word "rapture" is not in the Bible. So, where did this false doctrine come from?
In 1830 Margaret MacDonald had an evil revelation on her sick bed, supposedly from God, in which she was shown what would become "The Rapture Of The Church", among other names.
And, from The Incredible Cover-up by Dave Macpherson, Appendix A, you'll read:
"I felt this needed to be revealed, and that there was great darkness and error about it; but suddenly what it was burst upon me with a glorious light." - Margaret MacDonald (Spring of 1830)
MacDonald's revelation would have probably died with her; however, two preachers grabbed it, cleaned it up, and presented it to Christendom. Today, you'll hear many pastors promoting that false doctrine from pulpits.
Ezekiel 13:19-20:
19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly, (the "fly away Doctrine" or "rapture Doctrine").

Money,television, downloading music for free, excess food, violence sex and language on movies, I believe those are good representations of snares. Since snares mean things that may keep you from getting closer to God, I feel that these are accurate examples. God Bless.

He also likes to use the words,"Holier than thou"to discourage the Christian.He uses this
term a lot.
Discouragement is his biggest weapon in these last days.

The doctrine of Spontaneous Salvation.
You can go in, unto the altar of a Baptist preacher, and kneel there, and do the special incantation, and be declared SAVED.
The beauty of it is, you can still sin.
Jesus died for the sins of all "saved" people, so all your future sins are already died for.
Plus you get a holy pass for Judgment Day, and pass directly into glory after you die.
Satan is chortling in his glee.
