Speaking for himself, it's Sydney!
Frankly, I find the whole
notion quite disturbing,
I mean REALLY!
The Christians
are the Bad Guys?
Old boy, are you
just trying to get my
GOAT?
Those wolf fellows
are all quite bad enough,
thank you very much,
but now the Christians
as well? All the blokes
claiming to be "anointed?"
All in Christ's Name?
Shocking, utterly shocking.
Sydney the So Shocked Orthodox Sheep
I DO Say! I have been under the lasting impression that it is
quite impossible for a sheep to be deceived! Does not the Bible
teach that if you are full of the Holy Ghost that you cannot be deceived?
That your mind can be tricked, but not your spirit?
Blimey! Does this mean I've already been deceived? Is there any hope?
What Matthew 24:24 is actually conveying is that: "The false prophets
and falser teachers will try very hard to deceive even God's elect." The verse
says absolutely nothing about it being "impossible" to deceive the elect.
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying,
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming,
and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them,
Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name,
saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:3-5
Think about it. If you cannot be deceived, then why did Jesus issue this commandment?
And keep in mind, this clear warning from Jesus was issued regarding
THE END OF THE WORLD, THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
THINK ABOUT IT. Many will come in the Name of Jesus (e.g., Christian!),
and they will claim to be Christ (e.g., Anointed!), and they will deceive MANY.
And Jesus tells His Disciples (of all ages and time):
DO NOT BE DECEIVED!
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign
when all these things shall be fulfilled? And Jesus answering them began to say,
Take heed lest any man deceive you:
For many shall come in my name, saying,
I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mark 13:3-6
Messages to Christians of all times:
Let no man deceive you with vain words:
for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Ephesians 5:6
Let no man deceive you by any means:
for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first,
and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2 Thessalonians 2:3
Little children, let no man deceive you:
he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
1 John 3:7
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:
he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 12:9
