Today billions of people around the world believe all sorts of solidly agreeable lies. Lies about God. Lies about Jesus. Lies about creation, morality, Israel, salvation, heaven, hell, judgment, and much more.
For example, millions believe Israelis are “occupiers” of Islamic land, even though the Jewish people (whose very name comes from the word Judah) have lived there for 3,400 years, including 2,000 years before Islam even existed.
They believe the Holocaust of World War II never happened, even though the Nazis themselves documented everything meticulously.
They believe the Jewish people are “aggressors,” even though they have been the most victimized, persecuted people on Earth for millennia. They believe Jews are cheap, even though they’re among the most generous and philanthropic. And hugely popular, influential celebrities believe (among other things) that the Jewish people are powerful manipulators who run the world, even though the planet houses 8 billion people—2 billion of whom are Muslim—with a paltry 15 million Jews.
Sadly, as Mencken observed, most people prefer lies to truth. Consequently, during the coming Great Tribulation, God will send a “strong delusion” (2 Th. 2:11) so that such people will believe the biggest lie of all: that the Antichrist is God. The apostle Paul described these individuals as those who “did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved” (v. 10).

The largest lie is the belief that Jesus was not the SON. That he was not the truth and the WAY. To deny Christ is to live a lie and die empty in spirit. “No one comes to the Father except through me” little time is left to debate this fact and all the other noise is just distractions of that truth. Wrapped up in traditions and garments will not provide a path to GOD. It is better to stand naked before GOD, confess and ask forgiveness.
