Deceived

The Bible tells us in Revelation 12:9  that the  whole world would be in danger of being deceived. In Matthew 24:24 we are told that "false Christs, and false prophets" would arise deceiving almost everyone with "great signs and wonders". Their deception would be so great that they would even deceive the "very elect" if it ere possible. In Matthew 24:5  and Mark 13:6 and Luke 21:8 we are told that  many shall come in  name of Christ but they are not of Him who was the Christ, the Anointed. In Matthew 7:22 Jesus says that "Many will say" they believe in the Lord Jesus and claim to prophesy in His name and do many wonderful works but Jesus will claim that He  never knew them and call them the workers of iniquity.

Peter, Paul, James, and John Warned

Peter, Paul, James and Johnall 'warned the New Covenant Church that what they were doing and not doing would reveal the truth of their claim to faith in God and His Holy Spirit. Paul warned people to test their faith to make sure they were not deceived or reprobates.

Even John warns that we need to walk according to what Jesus showed us and confess our sins if we are to be cleansed of unrighteousness. John even gives the keeping of the commandments as the rod by which we measure the truth of our faith. And those who do not keep the commandments are a liar and Christ is not in them. Over and over John repeats that he that "doeth not righteousness" is not born again of Christ and the Father. And John warns us that we may not only be deceived but may deceive ourselves warning us of the many false teachers who are "out in the world".

Jude 1:16 "These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage."

We are told that we are told in Jude 1:21 "Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."

The Bible from the beginning warns and continues those warnings throughout the New Testament that many will be decieved thinking they are believers while in truth they are workers of iniquity. Because these warnings are ignored by the modern Church, the welfare of a foolish society has become a snare.

• “It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.”
