15:29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? 15:30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? 15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I die daily. 15:32 If after the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantages it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; in order tomorrow, we die. 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. (I Corinthians 15:29-34 KJV)
I have written about Paul before and the churches he established. The church members questioned him often and above is one of his answers. I put the passage in because I am concentrating on verse 33 and 34. You may ask why, and my answer is I think and research hard about the things around me and the things that are going on.
Every day that I watch the news on television, read newspaper articles, and other forms of news media I observe so many people that seems to be willingly deceived, like a cult. There are many people, when you can get them to listen, still is willing to accept the deception and even help spread the deception.
Let me give you verse 33 and 34 from The New Living Translation Holy Bible. 33- Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for bad company corrupts good character. 34- Come to your senses and stop sinning. For your shame I say that some of you don’t even know God.
Remember, that was Paul speaking to the members of the church he had formed but the words ring true today. I repeat what I have said before, the situation is the same except the date have changed. Too many people have bought into the lies told by the last administration and will not sway one iota from it.
Come to your senses. You are still alive, therefore there is still a chance to come back to God before it is too late. For most, your sins are not too bad that they cannot be forgiven. Stop listening to the false prophets with bad intentions. All the past administration and his cohorts wanted was to line their pockets and, while they are on the sidelines, put out so-so books for you to read the lie and vindicate themselves (and they make more money).
As far as politics are concerned, I do my research and take the lesser of the evils. Some of the truth, with evidence, is coming out to air yet many still do not believe it nor do they want to hear it. Some have even teamed up with the devil and want to cause harm to those that are telling the truth.
Baptize me in the truth for God is the truth and will forever lead me on the path of righteousness, not following the path of the liars. I am not deceived.
