Faith, Truth and The Bible!
I am concerned that too many people are making an uninformed religion commitment blindly! Too many people are turning to Man's religion instead of turning to The Creator! You cannot turn to The Creator with Faith alone! Faith cannot even be the first requirement! It is more important to First find the Truth! Once you find the Truth then Faith can be placed into it!
Truth - the quality of being in accordance with experience, facts or reality;
conformity with fact; reality; actual existence.
Faith - belief; trust
Faithful - believing; strong or firm in ones belief.
How many times have you placed your trust and or belief in someone or something only to find out, in time, that you've been mislead or blatantly lied to? We cannot afford to make that mistake when it comes to our Heavanly Father!
I observe many people proclaiming Strong Faith in God. Many perform works and deeds because of thier Faith. The thing about Faith is that Faith in our Creator requires Truth because of the deceptions and trickeries of Satan!
Genesis 11:13 - "The serpent deceived me..."
Jeremiah 23:21 - "...I have not sent these prophets yet they ran..."
Matthew 24:4 - "...saying, I am the Christ, will deceive many..."
IJohn 4:1 - "...because many false prophets have gone out into the world"
Revel. 18:23 - "...for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived..."
II Corin. 11:13- "...for such are false apostles, deceitful workers..."
There are many more warnings of such deceits and trickeries in the Bible!
deceive - to make(a person) believe what is not true; to mislead; to cause to
err; to impose on; to delude; to cheat.
deceive - to use deceit; to lie
deceit - the act of representing as true what is known to be false;
deceiving; lying; the misleading of a person. the quality of being
deceitful.
syn. deception, double dealing, cunning, duplicity, fraud, guile,
trickery, hypocrisy.
Satan has deceived Humans from the begining, as shown in Genesis, and will do so until the end as shown in Revelation. Therefore we must make sure that our Faith is
placed in Truth! Faith based on trust and belief is dangerous because deceptions can lead you astray!
