Not idiots, just deceived.
Matthew 24
11 “Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
12 “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
13 “But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
14 “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Thanks for the perspective and reference.
I hope to one day have the ability to read and understand Aramaic.
I can argue context but that verse is a good description of Cruz.
