LESSONS NEVER LEARNED

It is important to reflect on our behavior and mistakes we make over and over again.  Throughout existence, people have believed liars. Eve believed the father of liars, Satan. It was because of Eve believing Satan that we are remembering the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. When Eve believed the Father of Liars, she sinned and because of her sin we are all sinners. It was for this reason the Son of God, who knew no sin, became sin, so we who are sinners can be righteous in the eyes of God if we will acknowledge and receive the gift of salvation through Christ.
Wars come about because people believe the lies of the tyrant who tells those he wants to control that he is only desiring this one action and then he will be satisfied. Hitler is an example. He told the world that he simply wanted to unite the German people. People like Chamberlain believed Hitler and the actions of Chamberlain emboldened Hitler and made him stronger.
We are witnessing the same evil being advanced by Xi today as he has told other nations that it is his intent to aid and to assist them. With similar lies he has captured the allegiance of many Americans, most notably the likes of the Biden and McConnell families as Xi has made them wealthy while telling them that cooperation with the CCP is good for all, but continually advancing the real goal of the CCP which is to destroy the US and dominate the world.
People are very susceptible to lies when their belief is beneficial to them. Eve believed the lie because Satan told her surly she would not die if she ate the fruit from the tree God told her she should not. Hitler told Chamberlain that they were securing world peace. Xi has told Americans he means no harm to them or the US.
Proverbs 22:3 A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished.
Proverbs 22:10 Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave; Yes, strife and reproach will cease.
What if Eve, Chamberlain, the Biden and McConnell families had been prudent and for saw evil? What if they had cast out the Scoffer?
The other mistake we continually make is that we compromise with evil. God told us that marriage is between a man and a woman. God told us that a person of one sex lying with a person of the same sex is an abomination. Yet, we compromised and said that we must be compassionate and understand that marriage must really be between two people who love each other, even if they are of the same sex. Today, because of that compromise, children are being groomed for pedophiles, parents take children to performances given by perverts whose goal it is to destroy the minds of children, today we are told that children, even babies, can have their bodies changed because they “identify” as the opposite sex, despite evidence proving that the child will become unhappy and suicidal.
Colossians 2:8 exhorts, "See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elementary spirits of the world, and not according to Christ."
Second Timothy 4:3–4 says, "For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths."
How many children would be free from their bondage today if we had not become captive to the world or had itching ears? The Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death.
Let us never compromise our beliefs, or allow our faith to ebb in the most crucial truth given to mankind.  That truth is “for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that who so ever believes on him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”
