And finally, it would not be possible for sorcerer’s magic to seduce if seeds of discontent were not within each and every one of us.

It is by means of these "seeds of discontent" that the sorcerer leads us into self-deception, self-delusion, and finally spiritual death.

So of course the sorcerer has every incentive to sow as many seeds of discontent as he possibly can. The rest is all (rhetorical) smoke and mirrors....

But it continues to astonish me that so many Americans today seem to be falling for the sorcerer's "tricks."

Thank you so very much for your outstanding insights, dear spirited irish!

2 Timothy 3

1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

I suspect many people are simply not paying attention.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
