For so many the inability to recognize lies, deceit and wickedness is a direct result of a lack of Scriptural study. I’ve no issue with reading through the Scripture; however, you run into the issue of seeing Scripture a self-help book, or a storybook. The reality is, many in the Nobility want you to stay feeding on the milk.
Mat 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
Mat 7:16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
Mat 7:17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.
Mat 7:18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
