Will a great deceiver not have the capability of making one believe that he/she is blessed when in fact they are cursed?

The cockier and more all knowing one thinks he/she is, the more pumped up with pride one is.  Pride blinds.

I say take off the blinders and look at the possibilities that is all.

yes...but will not you achieve more by explaining your own belief, if your belief carry any weight, then maybe you can get them to see the same.

By only focusing on others belief, you are doing it easy for yourself, because you attack without given reason, and many times it will be impossible to defend them self, because you have given them nothing that they can say you have mistaken.

And to ask:
If I believe that God is a lion and all angels are antelopes....what impact will that have on your life??? I assume None

By then telling me that this is a crazy belief, you downgrade my belief, without given me any reason, I can start defend myself, but I can not pick on you because you have not given me anything.

By telling me, that you think my belief is wrong, and then tell about your belief and why you believe it, you give me foods for thoughts, and MAYBE I change my belief to be more like yours.

There is differences between those two approaches.

By saying there is many ""nuts" that never will listen, then that is true,....
But those "NUTS" you will find among believers as well as by "NONE BELIEVERS" (which also is a belief )

Rhutobello,

my belief is that we are being duped and have been forever and a day.
We are all much more than we believe we are and that has pissed off forces we cannot see who play with us as a whole like a bunch of caged mice.

Every now and then they use someone as their emissary to lead us to believe that we are unworthy idiots who must follow this that or whatever to be saved from an apocolyptic fate, and the cycle starts all over again.

They prey on fear and use a divide and conquer approach.

RESPECT ourselves yes, but lets be man enough to take it on the chin when we are wrong.  Behaving like lamb tends to turn one into a sissy, easy prey for wolves.

In other words,  Frodo stay home with the girls and play with your jewelry.

Since your so knowledgeable about scripture, you might want to add the following facts, so others, might rightly discern! Those words were prophesied (before Jesus was born) about the coming Messiah. You might also point out that there were over 300 prophecies about the coming Messiah that Jesus fulfilled. Run those odds and see what you come up with? Anybody need a sieve?
