Yep. I was changing channels earlier tonight when i came across a show about Jim Jones. The MC said he had denied Jesus existed and claimed that name for himself. I knew JJ was off his rocker but had no idea about that claim. How can people be taken in by someone like him? I just do not understand.

Because it's easier to let someone else do the thinking and just sit back and be told what to believe.When certain men insert themselves between that which "is a discerner of the thoughts and INTENTS of the heart" (a heart which we do not fully know and is deceitfull ABOVE ALL things and desperately wicked!)and those coming to God with their truck load of baggage then bad things can happen.When we take up the Sword of the Spirit the first person it slays is the bearer!The deceitfull (above all things) and wicked human heart knows this and would rather a steady diet of carnal commands.Where itself can remain in control,judging and weighing things the same way it always has,better that than death.

Jesus said believing was WORK.
