14 Those who wash their clothes clean are happy (who are washed by the blood of the Lamb). They will have the right to go into the city through the gates. They will have the right to eat the fruit of the tree of life. 15 Outside the city are the dogs. They are people who follow witchcraft and those who do sex sins and those who kill other people and those who worship false gods and those who like lies and tell them. -- Revelation 22:14-15 (NLV)
Solid scripture here. However, the problem with most of the individuals who like lies and tell them is that they truly believe that they aren't lies. They likely have great intentions, but have heard these lies stated as platitudes that sound like the truth so many times that their brains can no longer tell the difference. They've literally heard these lies coming from every non-biblical source thousands or maybe millions of times ... and now they FEEL true. So they must be true, right? That's what the brainwashed mind says. Basic human psychology. It's one of the enemy's greatest tools. But even though it's working, we already know who wins this war.
I was one of those "liars with good intentions" for the majority of my life (see "A Skeptic's Epiphany"), truly thinking that I was helping these ridiculous lost people who thought the way that I now know is truth. Luckily we have a book called the Bible that brings us right back to the real truth again and again.
Thank God ... literally.
