Phillipians 3:18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame--who set their mind on earthly things.
2 Corinthians 11:3-5 (King James Version) King James Version
3But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
5For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
As hard as it may be, we must remember that many are deceived, and the "god of this world" has them deceived, in darkness. We battle not against people, but against spiritual forces that wish to destroy the Jews, Christians, and ultimately all humanity, in that order.
