Where is your head?


Deception


Are you warped or distorted? Perhaps bubble or maybe your head is full of vapor? Could be you have no idea what direction you should be going in? Should you be moving forward or going backwards or it may be possible you have to go back to the beginning to learn the truth!

 

What were the Prophet Jeremiah's continuing tears?  He said, "Everyone deceives his neighbor and does not speak the truth, they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves committing iniquity." Your dwelling is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, "declares the LORD. Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, "Behold, I will refine them and assay them; for what else can I do, because of the daughter of my people? [1] 

 

Deceitful


Are you a sneaky, falsehearted or deceptive person? Could it be that you are scheming, crafty or treacherous?

The Apostle Paul had something to say about false prophets. "But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting. For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ? No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.[2]
 
 

 

Deceptive 


Are you illusory, deceiving or perhaps a hoaxer?

Again what does the Apostle Paul tell us about some of these false prophets? "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this".[3]

 

Delusion


Why do people believe the greatest lie ever told?

The Apostle Paul had this to say about the man of sin in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11. "That is, the one who's coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false".

 

{Q}. and what is the greatest lie ever told? 

{A}. the Law has been done away with.

 


Deception is the act of making someone believe something that is not true: the act of deceiving someone 

Delusion is an act or statement intended to make a person believe something that is not true.
