Self-Deception is a Necessary Building Block of the False Reality

False Reality

“The worst of all deceptions is self-deception.”
—Plato

The false reality is built upon thousands of lies: some big and some small,  told every day and re-told constantly to ensure that most men will believe them.

“If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.”
–Adolf Hitler, Propaganda, the Big Lie and Adolf Hitler: 20 Hitler Quotes on Propaganda

This is stated to introduce self-deception.

Man lies.

Man lies constantly.

Man is a liar.

But the easiest and most convenient target of man’s lies is HIMSELF.  Even the world recognizes this.

“We lie best when we lie to ourselves.”
—Stephen King

“The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.”
—Leonardo Da Vinci

“Our capacity for self-deception has no known limits”
—Michael Novak

So man lies to HIMSELF as a matter of fact.

There are MANY reasons man lies to HIMSELF: freedom from pain, relief from mental anguish, other creature comforts.

Man will lie to HIMSELF rather than accept a truth which is unpleasant to him.

This is one reason so many ‘fish for compliments.’

Most men want to hear nice things said about themselves REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THOSE NICE THINGS SAID are true or not.

Which is why they go fishing.

“Do you think this dress makes me look fat?”

The person who asked this question is looking for someone to say, “No, you look wonderful in that dress.” Woe to the person who says what may be the truth: “You know, you do look a little chunky in that dress.  Why not find something else to wear?”

IF the questioner wanted the truth, the question would NOT have been asked in the way it was. The one asking the question MAY have been overweight, however slight.  But asking the question in the way it was asked is inviting someone else to lie to them; to participate in their self-deception about their weight.

“The only thing infinite is our capacity for self-deception”
—Robert Todd Carroll

Engaging in self-destructive compulsive behaviors is also a sign of self-deception–particularly when the one engaged in the self-destructive behavior LIES to himself about the outcome.

Ten percent of cancer survivors still smoke – Proving that smoking is more than just a “bad habit” or an “addiction.”

These are words modern men invented to wink at sin.  When tobacco was first introduced in England, it was called “devil’s weed.”  King James I denounced tobacco in positively diabolical terms.

“[a] custome lothsome to the eye, hatefull to the Nose, harmefull to the braine, dangerous to the Lungs, and in the blacke stinking fume thereof, neerest resembling the horrible Stigian smoke of the pit that is bottomelesse.”

So maybe there’s something else going on beyond mere habit when 1 out of every 10 cancer survivor still inflicts the same poison on his body which almost killed him.

Maybe?

Wonder what it might be?

God’s Word is not silent on self-deception.  IN FACT, so many men will be laboring under deception during the last days, that God will send them a ‘strong delusion’ to assist in their deceptions.

“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.”
–2THESSALONIANS 2:10-12

God’s Word has more on the topic.

“For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.”
–Galatians 6:3

“Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.”
–1CORINTHIANS 3:18-20

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”
–James 1:22

There once lived a man who drank bottles of whiskey regularly.  As the man aged, he began to lose control over his basic bodily functions.  This naturally upset the man.

BUT, he refused to lay the blame on his drinking of whiskey, even though many medical authorities do just that, declaring that regular consumption of alcohol will loosen a man’s control over his own body.

His latest deception ran along the lines of “This too shall pass”–which is a fine line for temporary afflictions.  HOWEVER, it is lousy advice for a REGULAR, SELF-INFLICTED BEHAVIOR.

Men regularly LIE to themselves.  They do this for a variety of reasons.

STILL, they suffer the consequences of their actions–whether they admit it or not.

The false reality is built upon a great many deceptions.

Deception usually begins with self-deception: one’s self is a constant companion who usually looks the other way when deceived.

Don’t let self-deception carry the reader away to the broad path of destruction.

“…broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat”
–Matthew 7:13

The false reality is one of Satan’s GREATEST tools for deceiving man.  As such, the false reality is not only hard to recognize, it is difficult to counteract.

Counteracting the false reality BEGINS with counteracting deception.

Counteracting deception becomes easier IF self-deception is rooted out.

“It is best, if possible, to deceive no one; for he that … begins by deceiving others, will end … by deceiving himself.”
—Charles Caleb Colton

DOES the reader ever tell himself little lies to make unpleasantness easier to bear?

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

“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. ”

A Couple of Examples of the False Reality

False Reality

The false reality has been called “the world that has been pulled over your eyes” to blind you from the TRUTH.

And what is that TRUTH?

The 1999 science-fiction movie, The Matrix, insisted that the TRUTH which men were being blinded to was that all men are slaves.

That isn’t too far from the Bible’s insistence that SIN enslaves a man.

“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”
–Romans 6:15

At the end, in the days immediately before the return of Jesus Christ, ALL men who dwell upon the earth (with the exception of those few who are eternally saved) are slaves to Satan and sin.

“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
–Revelation 13:4,8

IF a man is not a servant of Satan, he is a servant of God (and bound for eternal glory).

“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”
–Romans 6:12-14

The reader can KNOW that the world he lives in is mostly composed of LIES and FALSEHOODS.  It is those deceptions which make up the false reality.

THEREFORE, for the discerning reader, a few examples of the false reality which the world presents AS IF it was true.

1- The world has created a fantasy place called OUTER SPACE and filled it with stories of UFOs, space aliens, ETs, asteroids and other extraterrestrial nonsense.

Outer space does NOT exist and even if it did, there is NO way for man to reach it.  A shield called the ‘firmament’ surrounds the earth.

“And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.  And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.”
–Genesis 1:6-8

There are MANY stories the world tells about OUTER SPACE.

A FEW of the Many Stories The World Presents to the Deceived In Order To More Completely Deceive Them

OUTER SPACE is a place which ONLY exists in the fevered minds of Satan’s workers of iniquity.  Many of those fevered minds pass along their outer space tales because they labor in the Corporate Media (Satan’t Mouthpiece).

MORE

2- The world tells and retells its tales because, for propaganda to work, it has to be REPEATED over and over again.

This is especially true of those tales which have passed into the manipulative hands of HISTORY.

“History isn’t what happened, but a story of what happened.”
—History is a Weapon
—20 Quotes About History: History is a Collection of Stories

One story which the world tells and re-tells and tells again is the one about the sinking of the Titanic.

An exciting story, to be sure.

BUT, that story was told YEARS before the Titanic supposedly sunk.

Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan – Still think major media events are random happenings and not scripted?

Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan is an 1898 novella written by Morgan Robertson. The story features the ocean liner Titan, which sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg. The Titan and its sinking have been noted to be very similar to the real-life passenger ship RMS Titanic, which sank fourteen years later. Following the wreck the novel was reissued with some changes, particularly in the ship’s gross tonnage.

Although the novel was written before the RMS Titanic was even conceptualized, there are some uncanny similarities between both the fictional and real-life versions. Like the Titanic, the fictional ship sank in April in the North Atlantic, and there were not enough lifeboats for the passengers. There are also similarities between the size, speed and life-saving equipment.

Just one of those coincidences–a word not found in the Bible–we hear so much about.
—COINCIDENCE or Scripted Event?

MORE

These are a FEW of the false stories the reader no doubt believes. There are MANY more–which will be presented at a later date, God willing.

DOES the reader need MORE examples to be convinced that the world is NOT telling the truth about how we live?

WOULD another 100 examples convince the reader OR does the reader require MORE?

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

Why Do Men Believe the False Reality?

False Reality

Man dwells upon the earth and is deceived by the stories the world tells to create it false reality, which surrounds and envelops all who live on this earth.

The FIRST man (and his wife) were deceived by Satan, disobeyed God and eventually were ushered out of the Garden of Eden by God for that disobedience.

“Hath God said?”

In Adam and Eve’s mind, the first FALSE REALITY was created by the serpent (Satan) when he questioned God’s motives (in front of Eve).

“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.  And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
–Genesis 3:1-19,1:22-24

Modern man is NO different: modern man will also be deceived by the devil, Satan.

“And the great dragon…that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world”
–Revelation 12:9

One of the ways the devil deceives man is surrounding man with a false reality of LIES.

This false reality will ALWAYS challenge what is written in God’s Word.

The false reality will also get man used to believing LIES, instead of the TRUTH.

The false reality will make man pay attention to what the world–and Satan–say, instead of God.

NOW, some men are aware–to a degree–that they are being lied to, BUT most do not care enough to look into the matter.

It is the rare man who admits that he lives his life for lies: most men INSIST that they want the TRUTH.

BUT, most men do NOT.

Man may suspect that he is being told nothing more than a series of stories.

Man may have his suspicions that he is being told little more than stories.

Man may have even caught the storytellers red-handed telling him lies instead of the TRUTH.

BUT, NONE of that is enough to change the outlook of almost ALL men.

Most men desire to be comfortable–and for most men, comfort trumps the truth.

The TRUTH also requires the one  who believes it to CHANGE–and man does not LIKE change.

In addition, man is NOT a good person–particularly end times man.

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
2TIMOTHY 3:1-5

God’s Word accuses end times man to be “lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God.”  “Comfort” can very easily be substituted for “pleasure.”  The two are NOT the same thing–BUT, they can see each other’s neighborhoods from where they live.

LASTLY, the great majority of men believe the world’s stories.

The great majority of end times men do NOT believe God’s Word.

Satan creates and surrounds end times man with a cocoon of deception called ‘the false reality.’

The alert reader can KNOW that this deception exists and that it affects every part of his life.

Is the reader ALERT?

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

Twenty False Reality QUOTES

False Reality

A little over SEVEN YEARS AGO, ETPR published FALSE REALITY AND ILLUSION QUOTES: 20 Quotes about Manufactured Reality.

Though the original 20 are good, we have UPDATED and expanded that collection to include 20 more. These latter twenty appear to delve deeper into the illusion/delusion of false reality.

ALL twenty of the following quotes are THOUGHT-PROVOKING–which is NOT the same thing as wholly “correct” or wholly “true.”  While his mind is being provoked, the reader will have to use his own best judgment on how true or correct the thought behind the quote is.

“To successfully create illusion, the first thing you need is trust, but to perfect an illusion, the false reality most appear as authentic as the one it hides. Careful attention must be paid to every detail. The slightest of imperfections can, like a pin to a balloon, burst the illusion . . . and the truth behind the illusion becomes revealed.”
—Emily Thorne

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”
—Albert Einstein

“The reality of life is that your perceptions – right or wrong – influence everything else you do. When you get a proper perspective of your perceptions, you may be surprised how many other things fall into place.”
—Roger Birkman

“If we are honest – and scientists have to be – we must admit that religion is a jumble of false assertions, with no basis in reality.”
—Paul Dirac

“Basically, I get paid to be crazy. I get paid to believe I’m someone else, live in a completely false reality, and believe it’s real. And that’s a little scary. And I do it to the best of my ability. But it’s kind of like swimming out to sea. You have to leave enough energy to swim back, and sometimes you get scared you swam too far.”
—Rachel Miner

“It’s better to have the faith to embrace reality with all its pain than to cling to the false comfort of a painless fantasy.”
—John Ortberg

“All human unhappiness comes from not facing reality squarely, exactly as it is.”
—The Buddha

“The pursuit of truth is just a polite name for the intellectual’s favorite pastime of substituting simple and therefore false abstractions for the living complexities of reality.”
— Aldous Huxley

“The bleakness of what faces us is difficult to swallow. As long as we engage in happy platitudes and a false kind of vision of the possible, it may empower you over the short term, but it is eventually, because of the reality in front of us, going to lead to despair and cynicism and apathy. It’s better to swallow hard the bitter pill of what we’re up against.”
— Chris Hedges

“If we choose to, we can live in a world of comforting illusions. We can allow ourselves to be deceived by false realities. Or we can use them to hide our true intentions.”
—Emily Thorne

“The thing is too that when you sell people a false reality and they take that to be the norm, when that false reality is light-years from what’s really happening, that in itself is a tremendous defense mechanism because when you start talking about what is actually happening, it is so different from what people perceive to be happening. They just can’t make that jump; it’s too insane for them.
—David Icke

“How Journalists Frame Innocents Using Ray Tracing

This technology or something similar is used by journalists to frame innocents so as to protect their friends.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_tracing

They will never be interested to say that advanced science is used for crimes that frame people in an impossible way so that they are perfect criminals and always be innocent.

If you do not believe me, try to prove it yourself. I do not have time for this. I have to decode other things that interest me.

It uses the screens to reach the eyes and create white circles in them. This is spyware.

It can use the graphic effects to enter them inside the body of the user of the computer.

These graphics effects inside the body makes the person and all others believe this person is mentally ill. Because they are effects and not real symptoms, the doctors do not find anything the person describes but it is true is inside of this person and affects this person’s outside behavior and strength.”
—Maria Karvouni

“When people want to be rid of Heaven it is logical to start by creating an atmosphere in which spiritual things appear out of place; in order to be able to declare successfully that God is unreal they have to construct around man a false reality, a reality that is inevitably inhuman because only the inhuman can exclude God. What is involved is a falsification of the imagination and so its destruction.”
— Frithjof Schuon

“I had come to the conclusion a long time ago that there was no escape from the labyrinth of contradictions in which we live except by an entirely new road, unlike anything hitherto known or used by us. But where this new or forgotten road began I was unable to say. I already knew then as an undoubted fact that beyond the thin film of false reality there existed another reality from which, for some reason, something separated us. The ‘miraculous’ was a penetration into this unknown reality.”
—P.D. Ouspensky

“Fear appears from a false vision of reality.”
—Bokar Tulku Rinpoche

“Ideals are dangerous things. Realities are better. They wound, but they’re better.”
—Oscar Wilde

“Psychiatry is a hoax:a political construct of gaslighting to let people continue thinking a certain way. It is fantasy because it could have easily been elsehow. Professionals (in this field) are suspects of crimes of false realities.”
—Maria Karvouni

“I’d rather have a harsh truth than a false reality. They both hurt but only one will set you free.”
—Paris Proverbs

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
—Oscar Wilde

“Reality ‘kicks,’ but not hard enough to wake you from the ‘limbo’ of your own creation.”
Ahmed al Sharif

Once more, ALL of these quotes about reality–false and otherwise, but mostly FALSE–are thought-provoking.

Once again, we will take this opportunity to remind the reader that “thought-provoking” is NOT the same thing as “correct” OR “truthful.”

Even PARTIALLY true or correct is NOT the same thing.

With HOW MANY of these thoughts does the reader agree?

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

Reality–False and Otherwise–ARCHIVES

False Reality

Over the years–the past eight years especially–ETPR has written a great deal about the various aspects of that cocoon which surrounds EVERY man: reality.

Because there have been so many articles (49 and counting!) which feature the IMPORTANT END TIMES TOPIC of ‘REALITY’–both the real reality which every man experiences whether he acknowledges it or not and the false reality created by Satan and his minions and nourished DAILY by the hundreds of Corporate Media stories–we have gathered them all in one place (in case the reader was interested in finding them all).

It is IMPORTANT for the reader to know the TRUTH of the world around him: he CANNOT make good decisions about his world IF he believes his world is MUCH different from the REAL WORLD, once all of the stories get stripped away.

IF the reader is interested, MOST of these pieces were published between 2015 and the present day.

HAS the reader ever invested much time in thinking about whether all parts of his world are real or concocted for the benefit of someone else?

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

“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

Why Do Many Men Desire the Deceptions Which Come With A False Reality?

False Reality

There are a number of times–too great to be accurately counted–in which what a man PUBLICLY SAYS and the deepest DESIRES of that man’s heart, differ.

Why is this?

Does man purposely deceive any who are listening to him?

Not likely, though some would do that.

Then what is the reason for the discrepancy?

The reader can chalk it up to MOST of mankind wanting others to think the best of them.

Man wants other men to think he is a good person–in spite of what God’s Word has to say about men being good.

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
–Romans 3:10-12

“They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
–Psalm 14:1-3

“And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.”
–Genesis 6:12

So, even though there are NO good people, man wants his friends and relatives to think of him as ‘good.’  This is natural, as most men want others to think the best of him.

Thus, man desires that other men see him as ‘good’–even though there are NO good men.

Do many see that man as ‘good’?

Others know that many men are notorious liars.

Others ALSO know that Satan is a notorious liar.

So, when men see others lying, many chalk it up to “Men are liars,” OR “Men NATURALLY lie.” The question of whether the man is CONCOCTING the lie OR merely repeating what he has heard or read NEVER occurs.

One’s false reality is made up of lies.  A false reality may include MANY lies within its makeup OR it may only contain what’s necessary to maintain the false illusion one lives under.

One additional reason that man participates in FALSE REALITY: man enjoys his comfort more than he enjoys the truth.

Though there are a great number who will protest (“I do NOT enjoy being lied to!“), YET those same ones who protest enjoy their comfort.

Man–in spite of his many LOUD claims to the contrary–does NOT value the truth IF it interferes with his COMFORT.

The TRUTH requires that the unrighteous man CHANGE his ways.  MOST men do NOT desire changes which upset their life–which most SPIRITUAL change will do.

CHOOSING to believe a lie may give the one who believes a sort of temporary control, but it does NOTHING to confirm or deny the TRUTH of the matter.

There once lived a woman who proclaimed–when informed that she was living in a FALSE REALITY which she recognized but did NOT acknowledge–“Well, THIS is what I choose to believe.  I CHOOSE to believe this.”

Poor woman!  She CHOSE to believe a lie–mostly because it made her life EASIER to live if she chose to do so.

Hopefully, that woman will see the error of her ways BEFORE she is judged by God.

Men may ascertain that the reality which surrounds them is a FALSE one.  But FEW men care enough about the TRUTH to do the necessary work that’s required to confirm that they live in a lie.

Because so FEW desire the TRUTH, God will grant them their desire during the days before the return of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Men will suffer for their LOVE OF DECEPTION.

“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.”
–2THESSALONIANS 2:10-12

And so, man will be sent a STRONG DELUSION by God Himself.

But a STRONG DELUSION may not be recognized as such by those used to living in a FALSE REALITY.

HAS the reader noticed any discrepancies in what he has been told and what he can see happening?

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

Why Is It Important NOT To Fall Prey To A False Reality?

False Reality

The reader wanders around in his world, deciding–based on what he has read, what he has been told OR what he has seen with his own two eyes–what is REAL and TRUE.

What the reader decides is REAL and TRUE becomes the reader’s REALITY–whether the reader’s REALITY matches up with the TRUE and GENUINE REALITY or not.

Whether the reader is deceived or not determines what the reader believes about his REALITY.

Many moderns leave the devil, Satan, out of their equations altogether when they attempt to figure out what is TRUE.  God’s Word (which much of the world does NOT believe, though many claim the exact opposite) reveals the lowdown on Satan and his lying, deceiving ways.

“And the great dragon…that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world…”
–Revelation 12:9

“[Satan, the devil] was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
–John 8:44

“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.”
–1JOHN 3:8

Jesus Himself is recorded as saying “There is NO truth in Satan.”

Mankind has learned and relearned that lesson the hard way.

Many moderns have YET to relearn it.

Why is it important to know if one’s reality is genuine and true or not?

There are several reasons, but the MOST important is: it’s hard to make good decisions if one doesn’t know what is real and what is not.

For example, IF the reader thinks that little boys are made of ‘snips and snails and puppy dogs tails’ (as the old song and nursery rhyme declared) and that little girls are made of ‘sugar and spice and all things nice,’ then the reader will make his decisions based on the information he believes is TRUE. The reader may think the information contained in that old nursery rhyme is TRUE.

It is NOT.

IF the reader had the CORRECT information, then he most likely would make a different decision concerning boys and girls.

ANOTHER reason for knowing the correct reality one inhabits: knowing the correct reality one is surrounded by makes it easier to make the correct decisions about WHAT is good and WHAT is evil.

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

When one surrounds one’s self with a reality composed of falseness, then it is UNLIKELY that the one who is surrounded by falseness will discover his true situation.  In this way, wandering about in a false reality is very much like wandering around in a DREAM.

VERY FEW men know they are dreaming; it is much the same with a false reality.

VERY FEW men know their reality is a false one.  They turn to the authorities of the world (education, science, medicine, the media and MORE!) to tell them the truth–when they have reason to believe those authorities have LIED to them.

IF one’s outlook is colored by a number of LIES, then it is not likely that person–absent the mercy of God–will ever find his way to the truth.

A false reality is constructed of lies.

A false reality is a snare to trap and enslave the unwary.

A false reality, though, is mostly desired of men.

A false reality allows man to live the way he desires without consequences that man can see.

Which is the reason more men do NOT question the points of reality they inhabit.

DOES the reader believe everything the authorities tells him?

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