Fabulous collection of scripture references to the deceptions taught to men which we are warned about Elsie. That's a save and thank you for it.
The above is one of my favorites because we see this constantly being played out today across our nation..... You are exactly right saying so many do not know what the scriptures say so they foolishly fall into those deceptions and they are growing in our country and churches at an alarming rate.
People do not care to feed themselves on the truth of God's word...rather spoon feeding now is required for this generation. Unfortunately I see some growth in churches but little if any maturity in the things of God....for God's word has been overrun by the "showtime" and the itchy ears want what they want, junk food instead of solid food.
God does say to "Put on the whole armor of God"... to be able to withstand the onslaught of deception that's here, and that will exceedingly multiply.
(And Google®, too ;^)
