Deception

DECEPTION
A Blogger's Comment

"...It was not too long ago that my pastor stood on the altar and told our congregation that she endorses a book on good and evil. She was not talking about the Bible she was referring to the new Harry Potter book that was just released.

'You won’t find any prophecy books on my bookshelf……. The book of Revelation is irrelevant'..."

This blogger is right in that there is a great deception going on in many peoples lives. To the people who reject the truth of Christianity, God said in the last days, that He would send a strong delusion so that these people will actually believe a lie ( II Thessalonians 2:11 ).

There is a comment, in the blog, about Satan's temptation in the garden of Eden which is accurate. Deception has gone on since the garden of Eden.

One thing I would expand on, not touched on in the post, is the issue with the pastor. I am commenting on a very limited basis, concerning the issue of women in the pulpit. I ask a question, are women more prone to being deceived? (NOTE: In no way is this meant to belittle women, although no doubt some will twist it to think that). What is the actual objective truth to this question, not what you or I think or feel or our opinions or anything else subjective. Is this the reason Paul states to Timothy that women, in the church, were not to teach of have a position of authority over men (I Tim 2:10-15)? Has this woman pastor been deceived into rejecting portions of scripture? If she says she is not deceived but would state she knows full well what she is saying, does Matthew 7:15-23 accurately describe her?
