Being Deceived

Have you ever been angry with or at God?  I know I have been at times.  I have been so angry that I wanted to blame God for everything bad that has happened to me or my family.  I never stopped to think about why these things happened.

While God is ultimately in charge of everything, He has given Satan control of Earth for a time and for the most part, God is hands off.  Satan is the real enemy, but we are too blind to see.  He wants us to be angry at and blame God for all of our troubles.  His goal is to turn as many people away from God as possible as though if he accomplishes this, people will then think of him as a god that is equivalent to or better than God.

What everyone seems to have forgotten is that God created Heaven and Earth and everything in each. If God created everything in Heaven, then He created the angels.  Since God created the angels, then He created Satan.  Satan is nothing more than an angel that disobeyed God and was cast out of but not banned from Heaven (See Job).

The question is why do so many of us believe Satan’s lies? That is not an easy question to answer, but it started with Adam and Eve.  Think about it, they were created by God and routinely walked and talked with God, but then one day Satan comes in and convinces them to disobey God and they do.  If Adam and Eve were so easily deceived, then why would we think we are any better.

Of course we have Science and as we all know, Science has proven that God does not exist, right?  Well the honest truth is that the more we rely upon Science, the more it seems to agree with the Bible and ultimately God.  The secular scientist will do everything in their power to convince you that the Bible is wrong and God does not exist.  I am still reminded of a debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham where Ken Ham asked how can a 45 thousand year old piece of wood be completely immersed in a 45 million year old rock, but Bill Nye never answered the question.  If that is the case, then the dating methods proposed by the secular scientist are wrong and if those methods are wrong, then most of their theories start to fall apart.  Now Ken Ham and other Christian scientists do not dispute the natural laws or a lot of the science and in fact rely upon them to do their science.  They just believe that God has created everything.  Remember, Science these days is big business which means lots of money and so many people worshiping their false gods

So you have a choice because God gave you free-will.  You can continue to believe Satan and his followers and live in a world where you are constantly being deceived or you can accept the truth and believe God through the Bible.
