“They did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.” (2 Thessalonians 2:10b-12)
DYNAMIC OF DELUSION
There is a “dynamic of delusion” at work in our day as referred to in the Bible passage above (“a deluding influence”).
A delusion is “a fixed false belief that is resistant to reason or confrontation with actual fact” according to dictionary.com.
I want you to read that again so that it sinks in:
A delusion is “a fixed false belief that is resistant to reason or confrontation with actual fact.”
8 DELUSIONS
And so there is the delusion that Islam is peace.
And the delusion that guns (inaminate objects) murder people all on their own.
And the delusion that men can go in the women’s bathroom.
And the delusion that same-sexes can marry each other.
And the delusion that a fetus is not a human being (so you can kill/murder it in the womb).
And the delusion that climate change is man caused.
And the delusion that the Constitution is outdated and needs to be altered due to the changing times (after all, “we are the ones we’ve been waiting for”).
And then finally now, there is the delusion that somehow Christians cause terrorism(?).
(You read that right.)
ORLANDO MASSACRE
It was the deadliest mass shooting/murder in American history.
In the early morning of June 12, 2016, an Islamic terrorist entered an Orlando night club and proceeded to massacre 49 Americans.
The attack lasted three hours.
Many more Americans were wounded, some critically.
Finally, the Islamic terrorist was killed.

WHOSE FAULT WAS IT?
Oh, but it wasn’t the Islamic terrorist’s fault.
(Are you so foolish to think it was?)
It was the gun’s fault (see delusion #2 above).
And it was because he was mistreated as a Muslim (supposedly) – that justifies his murdering people (yeah, right).
And lastly, it was the Christians’ fault.
(Are you rubbing your eyes in disbelief?)

Because, you see, Christians are homophobes(?).
And the night club where the Islamic terrorist murdered 49 Americans happened to be a gay night club.
And since Christians are pro-traditional (heterosexual) marriage (men marry women and vice versa), the Islamic terrorist was only carrying out their wishes by murdering gays.
Voila!
The “dynamic of delusion.”
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who subsitute darkness for light and light for darkness; who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20)
“I will go and be a deceiving (politically correct) spirit in the mouth of all [the king’s] prophets.” (2 Chronicles 18:21a)
