I am sure you already know this, but it is a friendly reminder.
A sneaky virus tried to get onto one of my mobile devices by posting a warning from Google and Samsung concerning a virus that had accessed my battery. THEN it gave me less than 5 minutes to follow instructions to save my device. I have had this deceptive ploy come across my internet before. It is based on a group of false narratives. So, be on the ALERT.
LIKEWISE, I am constantly seeing Liberal and Calvinistic postings that are designed to scare folks into swallowing their deceptions as well. It is easy to join their parade, following their Pied Piper out of town to destruction. (We also see this played out with cults and Islam, among others, thus the "Pied" Piper).
The Pied Piper plays a beguiling tune, and draws the unsuspecting into a trap. That is what a false narrative does. It tells us things that attract us, leading us into deception and darkness. Part of the false narrative is true, hiding the dangers in a beguiling context and destructive ending. We must not even listen to anything that contradicts revealed truth in the Holy Bible.
By the way, an abundance of fact or truth does not keep people safe. It takes truth (the word of God), PLUS faith in the word of God to enlighten and enliven the understanding. Biblical faith, Christian faith, is abandoning ones self to what God says, rather than listening to the beguiling words of those who twist and change it.
We should not be surprised at people falling for the deceptions and following the deceiver. Remember Eve in the Garden? Yep, that is right, Satan is the ultimate Pied Piper.
