Why does God allow so many people to be deceived by even the phoniest charlatans? He is turning them over to their wicked desires to reject truth and embrace lies. It’s just like it was in the days of Jeremiah
An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land:
the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule at their direction;
my people love to have it so, but what will you do when the end comes? Jeremiah 5:31
