2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned (judged / condemned) who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
While reading this scripture with my wife this morning (July 30, 2022) I had a sudden inspiration to work on a project of making a list of all the false things people believe in. I'll start off with the most obvious falsehoods such as doctrines contrary to the first three chapters of the Book of Genesis. I hope to make this list as complete and comprehensive as possible, and that means I've begun a massive project! And it also means I need your help! Anything you consider to be a false ideology that is not included in my list, please write about it in the comment section below and if I agree that it's a valid point, I will include it in the numbered list. The list is numbered because I'm using "ordered list" HTML code which automatically adds numbers in consecutive order at the beginning of each point of the list.
Some of the points on the list may be controversial even among Christians! Please know I am standing with what the majority of God's people believe to be false. These points will be based mainly on the writings of the saints of God who lived during the first 300 years of the Protestant Reformation before the Jesuits infiltrated Protestant churches. I will add them to the end of the list.
What is a "delusion"? I like how this word is defined in Wikipedia.
A delusion is a false fixed belief that is not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence.
Merriam-Webster defines it as:
something that is falsely or delusively believed or propagated.
What we believe to be true or false determines our policies in life. For example, if you believe that climate change / global warming is indeed caused by burning fossil fuels, you would support President Biden's decision to eliminate all fossil fuels such as burning coal to run electric power plants and canceling the Keystone XL pipeline project. And if you believe Biden is really following a leftist Marxist agenda to increase the cost of energy which purposely hurts the economy and decreases the size of middle-class America in order to promote a socialist government where the individual is totally dependent on Uncle Sam for all their needs, you will oppose Biden's energy policies.
Proverbs 14:12 ¶There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
You may think something is true, but if it's actually false, it could lead to your ruin.
The list begins with a false belief and follows with evidence from the Bible or science that refutes it.
The belief there is no God and that the Universe and all living things created itself. Professor Stephen Hawking taught that all that's needed to create life is matter and gravity!
Genesis 1:1 ¶In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
All of the first chapter of Genesis refutes this.
Genesis 1:1 confirms Einstein's space-time continuum. Before the "beginning", there was no time, no space (heaven), and no matter (earth).
The belief that the origin of life was by random chance. This is what my high school biology teacher taught.
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.-- An intelligent purposeful act by our Creator.
Life orignated by random chance violates the law of biogenesis which states that life arises from pre-existing life, not from nonliving material.
The belief there is no design in life or in the universe. This is what the famous atheist, Professor Richard Dawkins teaches.
Psalms 139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book (DNA) all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
All life is composed of cells and all cells have DNA which is complex code. Code is information. Information can only come from an intelligent source. Seeing words in the sand on a beach is seeing information. You know someone - an intelligent source - wrote it.
The belief there are more than two genders.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
The belief it's OK to identify with a gender that is opposite of one's sex at birth. Adding insult to injury, some corporations now insist their employees use the preferred pronouns of people who identify as transgender.
Deuteronomy 22:5 ¶The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. This scripture indicates to me that one's gender is permanently determined by our Creator.
Males have X Y chromosomes. Females have X X chromosomes. No sex change operation can alter one's chromosomes.
The belief a man can get pregnant. Thank goodness this belief is still a fringe minority of "woke" people.
Genesis 3:16 ¶Unto the woman he (God) said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;
The idea a man can get pregnant is so opposed to biology and science, it's incredible to think anyone believes it!
The belief it's OK for a transgender biological male to compete with women in physical sports.
Common sense combined with the knowledge of differences in the anatomy of males and females tells you how unfair to women this is! We are talking about the difference in muscle size, amount of fatty tissue, and lung size. How about competition between men and women based on mental skills such as chess? I would have no problem with that.
The belief it's OK to be gay.
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination:
Medically speaking, it's harmful to health.
The belief it's OK for humans to have sex with animals. Half of the people on www.quora.com who commented about this subject think so.
Leviticus 18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
The belief there is no such thing as sin. Buddhists believe this which is why they seek salvation through self efforts.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
The belief in the concept of different "races" among humans. I think this idea first came from Darwin's book, "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life"
Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Race is a social construct. Biologically, homo sapiens consist of one species. There is only one race in humanity. It's called the "human race." The concept of race breeds the notion that one ethnic group such as white Europeans are superior to other peoples such as Black Africans. Some people consider Blacks inferior on the evolutionary scale. Some British considered native Tasmanians no different from animals. They put a married Tasmanian man in a cage, and he became so dispondent, he took his own life. No animal intentionally commits suicide. Just the fact that a White person can get a blood transfusion from a Black African with the same blood type disproves the idea that different peoples are superior than others due to darwinian evolution. Evolution of the species is a belief system and pseudoscience.
The belief that people can be saved by means other than through Jesus Christ. All non-Christian religions teach this.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name (other than the name of Jesus) under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
The belief that people will go to Heaven because of their own goodness or by doing good works. I used to believe this when I was a Catholic.
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Ephesians 2:8.9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
The belief that abortion is essential health care. This is the message on the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' website!
Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
Deuteronomy 27:25 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
The belief that mercury and aluminium in vaccines are safe. Snopes claims it's FALSE to say they are not safe! We shouldn't go by these so called "fact-checkers."
"When it comes to aluminum and mercury, one plus one does not equal two. The toxicity of mercury alone, and the toxicity of aluminum alone—both of which are concerning enough—are each far below the toxicity that results from exposure to both. Tests of the two metals in combination show that the toxicity levels skyrocket." Reference: Aluminum and Mercury Synergy: A “Perfect Storm”
The belief that we should always "trust the science" and especially when the "science" is taught by the government and mainstream media. My scientist friend tells me otherwise.
A just-published exposé in the journal Science claims that a seminal study on the causes of Alzheimer’s disease may contain falsified data. See: Scientists are Destroying Our Trust in Science
The belief that climate change is caused by human activity, and especially the burning of fossil fuels which release carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Western governments and the Pope are promoting this. It's the reason why energy costs are rising. The Left is promoting the climate change scam to wreck the economy to get rid of the Middle Class and bring us back to the feudalistic society of Europe in the Middle Ages.
The belief that we should trust the government and all its agencies. Joe Biden wants us to do that. When I was a kid, I would never believe the government could lie.
Psalms 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
Luke 13:31,32 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him (Jesus), Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox... Jesus was calling King Herod a wily, cunning, shifty deceptive ruler.
Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him (the Beast, the world government) to make war with the saints, and to overcome them:
In spite of being vaccinated, the pathogen is still spreading and people are still getting sick. Some people my wife and I know have died after vaccination though they were much younger than us.
I am 72 years old and have not been vaccinated for Covid. In March 2022, I was in bed for a couple of days with flu-like symptoms and felt weak for one week. My God-given immunue system destroyed the and I recoved without without going to a doctor or taking medicine. That's only once so far since the Covid pandemic hysteria started. I now have antibodies against the coronavirus which are much better than any vaccine can give me. My wife tells me that employees at Macy's frequently call in sick and need her to replace them. They have all been vaccinated for Covid. My wife is unvaccinated.
The belief we can have our own truths, and that we don't have to listen to others because of our own truth.
Truth is is not subjective to the individual.
God's Truth from the Bible is the only truth that matters. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
The belief that Jesus was just a good man, not God.
Jesus was the Creator of the universe who was born on earth to experience life with His creations!
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
The belief that man can perfect himself and increase the speed of his evolution through technology.
This is what the false prophet Yuval Noah Harari teaches: Transhumanism
You cannot change God's creation without negative consequences! People are dying after being injected with the Coronavirus vaccine.
Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.

24. The belief that demonic rock / sensual pop music is pleasing to God. 25. The belief that there is a pre-tribulation rapture. The Bible says that at the FIRST resurrection have part those who already went through the tribulation (Rev 20:4-5), and the remaining people still alive are changed only AFTER the dead are resurrected.

There is a strong belief among covert narcissist christians that I have encountered and at this time I don't know what to do. These are the beliefs they told me and I was not good at quoting scripture to counter argue them. I am better now.

There is a strong belief among covert narcissist christians that I have encountered and at this time I don't know what to do. These are the beliefs they told me and I was not good at quoting scripture to counter argue them. I am better now.
I dont' have to confess my sins to others if I said them to God already. I don't have to apologise. I should not be questioned about my faith when I am a good christian and obey the bible to the letter. I have a right to expose the sin in pastors and elders and churches. I have done nothing wrong therefore noone can accuse me of criticism, sin, or disobedience. I have a right to speak into someone's life because God has called me to pray for them. I have a right to be a (close friends like a brother or sister) because I intercede and tolerate and am available by phone call whenever. I am a prophet. I can see the spiritual realm and help others without any mentor or guidance. I have done apostolic ministry better than them.

Kristen, thank you so much for your input! I appreciate it. God bless you!
That we can help prevent the end times. We can deter judgment day.(I met a man who left his marriage so he could work with God on creating an agenda to help humanity) Um no. And I called him on it and that this was sin to divorce and he sounded like a narcissist. I have encountered familiar spirits among the narcisist at am alarming rate.
That man can make a perfect marriage book to solve marriage problems. That children will save a marriage. That if we try hard enough we can succeed in career through the secret, manifest our destiny, positive thinking.That others are here to benefit us and help us along. That the universe is guiding us to better and if we put out good vibes we get good karma back. That if we don't make it we can reincarnate and get another try.
Here our ideas
The belief we can have our own truths, and that we don't have to listen to others because of our own truth.
That we don't have to listen to baby boomers or parents because they are from a different generation.
That republicans or democrats are evil.
That abortion is an answer to help save women from poverty and lack of career opportunity.
That abortion is an answer to down syndrome or other defects in the baby developing.
That babies are an inconvenience ... Read More
