THEY GET TO BELIEVING THE LIE!
Let’s say it again! They get to believing the lie! One more time please; they get to believing the lie. The dogs are at the gate ready to run, they are bred to run, open the gate and they bolt!
Don’t we just hate the truth? If a dog is bred to run and it runs, why is everyone so confused about people who believe the lie? We may hate the dog, but its still going to run. We may hate the liar, but they are still going to lie.
Waste our entire life on trying to figure out why the dog runs, spend every minute of our day trying to make those loving the lie see the truth. Dogs bred to run are innocent, people believing the lie are not. Those believing the lie will not come to their senses; it is God’s judgment upon them set as a warning for us not to follow them!
“They get to believing the lie” refers to a spiritual and psychological state where individuals, having rejected truth and embraced unrighteousness, are subjected to a strong, divine delusion (2 Thessalonians 2:11). This deception causes them to accept falsehoods as reality, ultimately leading to condemnation.
Key aspects of this concept include:
Biblical Context: The phrase primarily comes from 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12, describing a judgment where God sends a “strong delusion” or “deluding influence” upon those who delighted in wickedness rather than the truth.
Cause of Deception: People often fall into this state because they do not love the truth, preferring instead to justify sinful lifestyles or because they are intellectually/spiritually blinded.
Impact: This, or other, lies can cause individuals to feel inadequate, unloved, or to lose touch with reality. It can involve a cycle of denial, where the victim buys into a lie to avoid facing a painful or challenging truth.
The Result: The ultimate consequence mentioned in scripture is that they may be condemned or judged.
