In a World Full of Lies, Where to Go for the Truth?

“And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
–2Thessalonnians 2:10-12

During a recent discussion concerning the topic of End Times Deception, several interesting questions were posed.

Some were agreed to have been answered; others, the answer still remained open to discussion AFTER the talk was finished.

During the discussion, one such question asked was: “Why do men trust and believe those who they KNOW tell them lies?”

It was pointed out that this was really TWO different questions (“Why do man trust those who they know tell them lies?” and “Why do men believe those who they know tell them lies?“) which might have the same answer but probably had two different answers.

Treating it as two different questions, several different answers were settled upon.

1- Why do men believe those who they know tell them lies?

The Bible reveals that men want to be lied to: many times, it gives them an excuse for sinful behavior.

“That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits”
–Isaiah 30:9-10

“The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?”
–Jeremiah 5:31

A few other answers were

A- “Men value their comfort over the truth (regardless of what they may claim to the contrary).”

B- “Lies which sound good give men the excuse to sin.” This is many times what men really want when they say they are searching for answers. Even if the truthful answer is available, men will often cling to lies to justify their wicked behaviors.

C- “Lies make their (wicked) life easier to live.”

ALL of these reasons help explain why worldly men continue to believe those whom they know lie to them.

2- Why do men trust those who they know tell them lies?

Men trust other men, the traditions of man and the lies of man because men lack the judgment to do otherwise.

In other words: man is deceived.

“There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
–Proverbs 16:23

Men trust other men who lie to them because they are spiritually deceived. This is a problem from which the workers of iniquity, in particular, suffer. The workers of iniquity KNOW they are laboring for liars because they KNOW the lies they themselves must tell–YET, they continue to hope that the liars they labor for are telling the workers of iniquity the truth.

The Bible declares that such men will deceive others–while they themselves are ALSO being deceived.

“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.”
–2Timothy 3:13

Man is wicked from birth. Only belief and faith in Jesus Christ can change a man’s wicked heart.

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
–Jeremiah 17:9

It was decided that in the times in which we now live, lies are the rule rather than the exception.

To believe otherwise, when dealing with man, is to be hopelessly deceived.

WHERE TO GO FOR THE TRUTH?

BUT IF the preceding is true–and it is–where is one to go to find the truth in the times in which we now live?

So many these days KNOW that they are being lied to.

And they KNOW these lies are told by those who supposedly are telling them the truth: the government, science, medicine, entertainment, culture, music, media, education…

So many KNOW they are being lied to.

BUT, the great majority of such men ultimately DO NOT CARE.

Yes, that’s right: they know they are surrounded by deception, but they do not care: they have other, more pressing concerns.

Such as

Making money.
Moving up the ladder at work.
Families cares and demands.
Trying to get some rest in between all of their other daily tasks.

Oh, they may CLAIM that they value truth–but they do NOT.

Not really.

IF they did, they would do something about the lies that surround them. And, that is the actual heart of the matter: so many who KNOW they are being lied to do NOT want to have to travel outside their “comfort zone.”

And modern man values few things more than his comfort.

However, there are a few…

Who walk the walk when it come to the truth: they REALLY want to know the truth.

To these few, the truth IS more important than their comfort.

SO, in a world of deception, where does one go to find the truth?

Simple.

The Word of God.

“thy word is truth.”
–John 17:17

One of the tasks society performs while modern man is coming of age is the indoctrination against the Bible. There are many reasons for this.

Several of these reasons follow.

By discrediting the only source of truth, the world discredits modern man’s only hope of salvation.
Since the Bible contradicts so much of the deception which surrounds modern man, the Bible MUST be discredited or the false reality and the hundreds of lies which make it possible could not stand.
IF modern man does not know the problem, he cannot find the answer. Therefore, modern man will return to those who created the problems for his answers. Modern man wonders why his circumstances continue to grow worse: this is one of the reasons.
For deceptive propaganda to work, it must be repeated endlessly–and there must be no other authoritative voices disputing whatever is spooned into the heads of the public.
IF man believes the Word of God, then Satan, the world, man and man’s hierarchy are diminished. The Word of God tells us that Satan grows ever stronger until the very end when Jesus Christ returns–and since the Bible is true, this is what is happening before our very eyes.

Many looked to God’s Word for centuries and mankind kept wickedness at bay.

OR at least wickedness was usually recognized as wickedness.

Now that few believe the Word of God, wickedness and perversity have grown into everyday occurrences.

Where can modern man go in a world of deception for the truth?

The Word of God.

Too bad that so many today have been taught to disbelieve the Word of God.

Satan has done his work well.

DOES the reader believe the lies that are daily told by the authorities of this world?

WHICH does the reader believe: the Bible or science? The Bible or experts? The Bible or learned men? The Bible or the ones who populate the church pulpits?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
