Hi yall. I study prophecy and had posted this a couple of places and it has brought great discussion. God bless.
Be careful and watchful dear brothers and sisters, especially in these last days. Not only will those abroad and among other nations willfully deceive and lie to themselves, others and us, so will our own. Those we thought of as friends, our neighbors and even those we've come to trust and look up to.
Jer. 9:8 Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit; ONE speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in HEART he layeth his wait
Micah 6:12 For the rich men therof are full of vilence, and the inhavitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue IS deceitful in their mouth.
1 John 7-10 Little children, let no man deceive you; he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Titus 1:10-16 For there are manyunruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 The witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiles and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they den him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
