On Deception: An Intellectual Black Hole
Surely none of us are immune to deception. Jesus warns: “Take heed that no man deceive you” (Matt 24:4). To whom was Christ addressing His warning? Is it possible that He addressed the people of God…those in the Christian church?
Deceive. Dee - seev. Two small syllables denoting one horrific disaster. Two short steps into an intellectual black hole from which most never return. To deceive, says Webster’s dictionary, is “to make (a person) believe what is not true; delude; mislead.? Deception causes its adherent to see what is not there or to miss the obvious. Like being certain that black is white, the deceived are convinced wrong is right. Regarding spiritual matters, the twisted reality of the deceived has exchanged light for darkness and the truth of God for a lie.
