Bible Note: Yes, that passage came to my mind as well after I had posted! Trickery and deception is deeply seated in the depravity of man. We shouldn't be surprised when lost people do it. Frankly, it surprises me more when I see them NOT do it! So lets start expecting it! Next, let's understand it so well that we can never be accused of using it, even inadvertently. The Truth ceases to be the Truth once comingled with the things of the flesh. Be assured that those members of this forum who are believers will be praying for you even as they read this post, and in the future as the Spirit brings you to mind! |
