The Devil Is Tricky In Deceiving Mankind:
INTRODUCTION:
All should be considering the fact that Satan the Devil began deceiving mankind at the very start of human history. For example, he deceived Eve into believing that she was not subject to the laws of her Creator, Almighty God (YHWH) and that she could, per Genesis 3:1-5, "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." (Authorized King James Bible; AV), that is, deciding for herself what was good and what was bad.
HOW MANY DECEIVE THEMSELVES:
Many feel that if one does not agree with their wrong ideas that are NOT in conformity with inspired word of Almighty God (YHWH), the Bible, truths – then one is not being compassionate. Of course this is an entirely wrong premise as clearly shown by the Apostle Paul at Acts 17:10-11, “But, the brethren, straightway, during the night, sent away both Paul and Silas unto Beroea, who, indeed, arriving, unto the synagogue of the Jews, went off; 11 and, these, were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they welcomed the word with all readiness of mind, daily, searching the Scriptures,––whether these things could be so.†(Rotherham Bible; RB).
Clearly he was showing that all should be checked against inspired word of Almighty God (YHWH), the Bible, as to whether they are correct; and clearly NOT against one thoughts and those of his friends. It is high-time that all give thought and investigate their cherished religious beliefs – which may have existed for centuries – perhaps having even been passed down from generation to generation. That, however, does NOT necessarily mean that they are true. Why not? Well, the inspired word of Almighty God (YHWH), the Bible, record shows that soon after the death of Christ’s apostles, deceitful men arose in the Christian congregation and taught per Acts 20:29-30, “I, know, that there will enter, after my departure, grievous wolves into your midst, not sparing the little flock; 30 and, from among your own selves, will arise men speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.†(RB). They very skillfully misled people as per Colossians 2:4 & 8, “This I say, in order that, no one, may be reasoning, you, aside with plausible discourse;†and “Be taking heed, lest there shall be anyone leading, you, off as a spoil, through means of their philosophy, and an empty deceit,––according to the instruction of men, according to the first principles of the world,––and not according to Christ:†(RB).
Now are things different today? Not really, for the Apostle Paul warned that things would only get worse in ‘the culmination of the end times.’ The time in which we are now living, as 2 Timothy 3:1-5 & 13, “But, of this, be taking note––that, in last days, there will set in perilous seasons; 2 For men will be––fond of themselves, fond of money, ostentatious, arrogant, defamers, to parents, unyielding, unthankful, unkind, 3 without natural affection, accepting no truce, given to intrigue, without self–control, uncivilized, unfriendly to good men, 4 traitors, reckless, beclouded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness, but, the power thereof, denying! and, from these, turn away;†and “Whereas, wicked men and howling impostors, will force their way to the worse, deceiving and being deceived.†(RB).
We can see this today in California where workers of evil are trying to wrongly change the definition of marriage from that which Almighty God (YHWH) gave it in the Garden of Eden – clearly a wicked abomination.
