jojo50,
re: "now it makes more since, because if i was seeking, and came across what you had post. i would have thought God was mean, which would have made me NOT want to worship him."

But you don't think is will be 'mean' for Him to cast folks into the lake of fire ? (Revelation 20:15)


re: "but verse 12 shows why he said that, simply because MANY don't want the truth. they would rather believe the lies they have heard."

But they didn't believe that they were lies. They believed that they were the truth. How do you know that for some reason they wished that they could believe otherwise? And why would they want to do that in the first place?



re: "so Jehovah God is basically saying, since you want to believe a lie, and not the truth. i will help you to continue believing it."

How do you know that they didn't want to believe that something was the truth even though they believed that it was?

true, but if we want life, we have to change from what we were taught to believe. because Jehovah God and Jesus wants us to know the truth so that we may gain life ,(1Tim. 2:3,4 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth).

many who claim to be a Christian, will refuse to hear or follow the truth. yet they believe that they still have a first class ticket to Heaven. but Jesus said this to them at ,(Matt. 7:22,23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity). peace

God sends false signs and deceptive thoughts/feelings to everyone. He's a sadistic jerk with a fetish for making people suffer.

Any deceptive thoughts/feelings come from the percever, hence the perciever is the sadistic jerk with a fetish to make people suffer, you become what you think...
