Colossians 2:4,6-10 with enticing words. says As you have received Jesus the Lord, so walk in him... Rooted, built up, established in the faith... Be ware lest any man spoil you through philosophy, vain deceit, after traditions of men, or rudiments of this world, but after Christ... In him dwelleth the fulness of the Godhead bodily... & we are complete in him, which is the head of principalities & powers. 4 & this I say, lest any man beguile you...18 says let no man beguile you again. This is through deception,cunning words, let's face it, by out right lies. They show you the best they got & then it all goes downhill. But with the Lord Jesus , he takes our sins away & gives us God's best. Ephesians 2:8,9 Says not to be deceived, for we are saved by grace though faith,...Not of works ,lest we boast. God is a good & merciful God , but he set out a plan. His ways are not grievous. He is a loving God, full of mercy. He is still sovereign, it is his way or pay the price. Romans 5:23 says that the wages of sin is death, but, the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 318 says Let no man deceive himself... Jeremiah 37:9 sums it up very well. Thus saith the Lord, deceive not yourself, the Chaldeans will depart, but they surely will not depart. They tended to believe the false prophets because it was what they wanted to hear. Life happens good & bad to all people. The good thing for us is Jesus is with us working on our behalf. That is what romans 8:28 says. It rains on the justc & the unjust. Matthew 5:45 The best way not to be deceived is to study God's word, rightly dividing the word of truth, & depending on thec Holy Spirit to teach you truth 2 Timothy 2:15 & John 14:26
