“and with every wicked deception among those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a strong delusion so that they will believe the lie, so that all will be condemned  — those who did not believe the truth but delighted in unrighteousness. But we ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God has chosen you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through belief in the truth.” 2 Thessalonians 2:10-13 CSB https://bible.com/bible/1713/2th.2.12.CSB

Christians have been so long bombarded by lies from the media, academia, and the government while ignoring God’s truth, the Bible, that most are deceived about what is right and what is wrong. When our churches promote lifestyles that conflict with God’s word and God’s people accept those teachings, they live deceived lives and jeopardize their souls. Christians have no reason to believe academia and its advocates in media funded by the government for telling us the truth in science, social studies, or ethics. These sources reject the Bible and ignore the One True God, so they manufacture a creation narrative, a purpose narrative, and a future promise. They teach as fact the evolution of man, self-gratifying behavior, and a god who loves people without regard to their obedience to its commands. These lies keep people from the truth but gratify their sensual desires, with many who call themselves Christians participating in these beliefs. God has given us His true word, the Bible so that we can know Him and what He commands us to apply to our lives so that we might be holy as He is holy. The Holy Spirit fills all those but only those who seek God in Spirit and Truth by coming to Him in repentance for disobedience and desire to now obey everything Jesus has commanded. The person who loves God obeys His commands and feeds upon every word that proceeds from His mouth, which is recorded in the Scripture.
