#3: America ‘Hanging in the Balance’ a Biblical Warning!
Being a Lie and Living in a Culture of Lying
Lying in America seems to be the norm. Lying takes place all around us to the extent we just ignore the consequences of lying, but God takes notice and the Bible says there are consequences for our lying or being a lie.
Satan only knows and is only capable of lying. He wants you to accept his lies to the extent of becoming a habitual liar also. Once Adam and Eve accepted Satan’s lies, they lost everything good and wholesome. God’s actions state that all lies have consequences.
I asked a friend who lies to you more each day Satan or the US Government. His answer was quick and easy, “US Government.” Anyone can become a liar just like Satan. We accept lies so readily in America, that we find ourselves unable to distinguish between a lie and the truth.
People often rather believe in the lie being told them—it is easier to accept the lie than face the truth in any given situation or conversation.
We lie to each other usually for some sort of gain, such as money, fear of being caught for doing wrong, and/or for self-esteem issues.
When we lie to ourselves—we become a lie and want others to accept the lie we project about ourselves. The ‘Transgender Movement’ is a good example of becoming a lie. America is so full of lying it was easy for this movement to work its way into the fabric of American society. One cannot become another sex just because they want it to happen, just like I cannot become anything else by wanting or thinking or acting like another creature. I am a human being, and my birth sex designates what sex I am. It cannot be changed through ‘willpower’, medical procedures (the medical field would like us to believe this lie), or acting and dressing in a different manner.
If one lies to others, this is wrong in American society and Biblical theology. If we lie to ourselves this is also wrong the Bible says. Lies are lies no matter who you tell the lie to or for what motive—they are always wrong.
To say ‘there is no God’ is a lie, and to say ‘Christ is not for real’ nor is He God’s Son is also a lie. Satan is the father of these two lies; in fact, he is the father of all lies whether we say them to others, believe and accept them internally, or confess them to ourselves.
Everything that is not “truth” is a lie, no matter what form it takes or to whom it is communicated. As Christians, we should quit lying to ourselves which will destroy our relationship with others and even our own life. Let’s be honest with each other and ourselves. We need to humble ourselves and confess our shortcomings to each other so the Body of Christ can intercede and pray for us to be healed and made whole in Christ. This is the truth and is stated plainly in the Bible. (Saying the Bible is not God’s word or ‘totally truthful’ is another lie Satan would like you to believe—just like the Adam and Eve story.)
