It all comes back to free will.

Papa says, “I love you so much that I have given you the freedom to choose your destiny.  At the same time I have done everything to show you my endless love for you and my desire to spend eternity walking closely with each one of you.  By giving you free will I have given you the ability to love me back, not of compulsion but of your own volition. “

Deception came into being through the sin of pride, the true origin of all sin is pride/jealousy .  For Lucifer sought to be the ruler of this world which was a position given collectively to man in Adam. He used deception to trick Eve and Adam’s love for Eve twisted him into giving over their dominion to Lucifer. 

Thus the deception began to grow.

The real question you have is what is one’s culpability in following deception?   Where does one cross the line from being deceived to being a deceiver?  Where do we cross over to the dark side with no path back to the light?

This is where free will figures in again.  We choose to believe deception even when it is very cleverly wrapped.  The real question is what do we do when the deception is uncovered or revealed for the lie it truly is.  Do we choose to continue in the deception and even join in it to promote it or do we step into the light of truth?

Everyone will be presented with truth because I AM truth and every knee will bow.  It is the heart condition which empowers that bow which is the key.  Is it a willing submission, an act of love or a grudging submission out of fear and defeat.

Choose this day whom you will serve, Sovereign Lord or self? You’ve heard it said that if you really love someone you’ll let them decide to walk away. I’ve done everything to prove my love for you and will even let you turn away if that is your desire.  It is not my highest will for you, but I will abide by your decision.
