“A man walking in the spirit and falsehood do
lie…he shall even be the prophet of this people.” Mic
2:11
Man
does not want to be responsible, nor to owe duty; still less to be liable to
judgment for disobeying. The Christian, not the natural man, longs that his
whole being should tend to God. The natural man wishes to be well-rid of what
sets him ill in his spirit, not longing to humility in God. And the horrible
subtlety of false teaching is to meet its own favorite requirements, without
calling for self-sacrifice or self-oblation, but only self-indulgence and a
truth that is content for their will. Society has sub come to being deceived…”…not enduring sound doctrine, but after their
own lust…turns away their ears from
the truth.” (2 Tim 4:3-4), which they
dislike; and so are turned unto fables which they like; they who “receive not the love of the truth, - believe
a lie” 2Th 2:11-12. If men “will
not retain God in their knowledge, God gives them over to a reprobate (misunderstanding)
mind” Rom 1:28.
“One
can believe as one likes; but the truth remains the truth, no matter how sweet
the lie may taste.”
