About a month ago, it was suggested that “Everything is an illusion.”
After looking into that deceptive, though fairly common, claim, a series of pieces were produced.
PART ONE: A Few Questions for Those Who Believe This Life is An Illusion
PART TWO: Variations on the “This Life is An Illusion” Story
PART THREE: NOTHING IS REAL: Part of the “This is ALL an Illusion” Deception
This leads to a few question.
“Why make the claim that ‘everthing is an illusion’?”
“Are there any other questions about the claim that ‘everything is an illusion’?”
“What is purpose to claiming that everything is an illusion?”
1- Why make the claim that ‘everything is an illusion’?
The answer to this appears to be fairly straightforward.
IF one can claim that everything is an illusion, then one can attempt to evade responsibility for all of one’s acts and behavior.
After all, IF everything is an illusion, then that includes one’s actions and behavior.
IF everything is an illusion, then that means no one commits ANY sinful actions because sin is an illusion.
After all, who is to say what is real IF nothing is real?
This line of reasoning hopes to evade God’s judgment for our actions.
However, the speculation is that God will not be overly impressed with this claim and will dismiss it out of hand.
2- Are there any questions about the claim that ‘everything is an illusion’?
One related question posed to members of a certain Eastern religious group–many who advocate the “Life is an illusion” claim–has NEVER received a satisfactory answer.
“Why is it easier to believe in an impersonal force which is EVERYWHERE and which somehow magically judges you and renders a verdict (karma) than it is to believe a God who created you ultimately judges you?”
Another question is “You teach that the world become LESS real the more spiritual you become; that only the spirit is real. BUT this is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what God’s Word teaches. Why is that?”
“Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?”
–Jeremiah 23:29
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
–Hebrews 4:12
“Other than a bunch of words, how can you PROVE to me that everything is an illusion?”
3- What is the purpose to claiming that everything is an illusion?
If nothing is real; if everything is an illusion: then EVERYTHING can be thought of as a “do-over.”
This is the attraction behind the deception of reincarnation.
Everything is a do-over. One re-lives this life until one gets it right.
There are no lasting consequences. There is no final judgment. There is only a constant progression toward something better.
It challenges the Word of God.
It is the perfect satanic “benefit of the doubt” theology.
“I’m sorry, but there simply is not enough evidence to convict my client. He will just have to RE-LIVE his life all over again.”
Because it deceives men into believing that they have more than one chance to “get it right,” the ‘everything is an illusion’ claim is a SCAM.
A deception which causes the ignorant MUCH harm–both in this life and eternally.
This life IS real.
This life is NOT an illusion.
And IF one EVER undergoes a spiritual rebirth, one will know this as much as anything which can be known.
DOES the reader believe that his life is an illusion?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“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
