......”The problem today is that there are very few who know (or want to know!) scripture well enough to combat false teachings and thus avoid being deceived”.......
Though there’s truth in saying that...the bigger problem is few ‘Christians’ are standing against those falsehoods even if they do know the scriptures...they won’t speak it.
I agree with some who are saying that because of the “tolerance” level pushed on our society today...there is no interest in “truth” because each chooses and accepts the others....no matter if false. Thus there is no debate.....and where there is no debate...truth then is not heard.
Oh I agree with that....Satanic deception about certain hot issues today is practically complete. The deception is so wide and so deep that it's a miracle, an honest to goodness real miracle, that anyone has any faith or belief in Christ whatsoever.
Islam, communism, humanism, new age beliefs, etc. etc. Add on to that those who call themselves "Christian" but are really just nominal Christians, Christians in names only, who don't really serve Christ or know him and it's clear how Satanic deception is and will literally deceive the whole world.
