Indeed, you are entitled to come to your own conclusions for your own reasons, as we all are.....its all about making decisions.
Well, we do too.....since there is only one God and one truth, its up to us to make our choices about who he is, and what it means to serve his interests in a world controlled by his adversary. (1 John 5:19) We have to remember that this adversary has a unique ability...to make the truth seem like a lie and vice versa. (2 Corinthians 4:3-4) The best way he knows how to "blind" the minds of people is to present them with another "truth"....if it seems authentic at face value, then people will fall for the counterfeit. But the fake will not stand up under scrutiny....it will lead to death.
There is much at stake here.
We live in a world of 'wheat and weeds'....'sheep and goats'....God knows the difference and will guide and direct only those who show the right qualities, to his truth (John 6:65)....which will seem like heresy to the majority, as it did with Jesus and his apostles....but not to "the lost sheep", who will see the value of the truth.
The "weeds" and the "goats" will be clearly distinguishable as the time of the end draws to a close, because they will not be obeying any of the laws of God......deftly justifying their way out of them. At the end Jesus will rightly accuse those who claimed him as their "Lord" of being "workers of lawlessness" whom he "never knew". (Matthew 7:21-23) None of us wants to be found among them.....
You can't deceive people and have them trust you.....
