These days you need to be prepared to get lied to. Lying is now the norm. Lie. Lie. And keep right on lying. This is a family inheritance in some families. The whole family are liars. Their father and mother were liars, and their parents before them were liars.
And don't think that all people who go to church are truthful and honest. Some of the most disgusting liars go to a church building. I have had to stop trusting people. I have been stabbed in the back too many times by people I trusted. I don't know any honest people anymore. Everybody I know are liars and dishonest. I have supported Gideons for many years, thinking they were good people. Man did I get a rude awakening when a Gideon stabbed me in the back.
I don't trust people no more. These are wicked times we're in right now. Everywhere we turn there are corrupt people. Whenever somebody tells me they're a Christian, I have to be suspicious of them. They might be a real Christian, but I don't know them. It takes time to see their fruit. It is not wise for me to believe they are a Christian based solely on what they say.
O' Denny Boy claims to be a Christian, but it seems he doesn't want my brownskin wife and me owning property next door to him, in his neighborhood. A person that makes my life difficult is not being a Christian to me. He or she is most likely a fake Christian.
My advice is this: Be on guard. Your safety depends on it.
