Deception

(1) The Very Elect - They know good and feel they must get others to

do good rather than drawing others to Him.

(2) The rest of those who are not simple - Believe they must spend

their Christian life only struggling between good and evil. This

struggle can steal our time so we cannot remain in him. (We don’t do

the good we know the Lord would have us do).

(3) The simple - Do not generally know the difference between good and

evil. --- They tend to be immune to hating evil.

(4) We deceive ourselves - When the struggle between good and evil

becomes all there is then we can think good is winning in our life,

then we could despise others: but if we think others are doing evil, we

tend to judge them.--- We are to be humble (not think we are good)

and not judge (krino) others but judge ourselves and then learn how to

judge (diakrino) correctly.

(5) Evil Men and Seducers - Love evil and hate good.

Areas of Deception

(1) Religious Deception – creating an impression of how good one is.

Wants to leave external and internal impressions.

(2) Doctrinal Deception – Usually occurs when we leave the plain

meaning of the scripture.

(3) Ethical Deception – Amos: Baskets with false bottom. Deceiving

people for personal advantage.

(4) Moral Deception – So easy to blame others for our problems.

(Immoral also means we take advantage of others for our advantage.)

(5) Intellectual Deception – Hearing human teachings as truth when they

are in error.

(6) Mystical Deception – Being mystical or spooky in words and actions.

(7) Sexual Deception – A direct relationship between having a need and

hearing a voice (saw wallet – heard a voice – said arise and eat).

(8) Spiritual Deception – Spirit and truth – objective and subjective.
