RE: And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables
Yes, it was a great illusion. I was caught up in it. I used to read "Harry Potter" and think nothing of it. I used to get into new age. Lot's of books that filled my cases. What a great illusion was given to me. I knew the scriptures decades before, but I forgot. I backslid into the illusion of the Devil. Look at the word and break it up D-evil. It is The Evil. The liar of all liars. I even started to believe in reincarnation. The new age people taught that John the Baptist was reincarnated from Elijah. I used to believe it. I had forgotten the scriptures. Some how I made it back to Jesus. For those that call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Thank you Jesus. Jesus broke the illusion I was in. Now I let the new age people know that Elijah to John the Baptist is not reincarnation. I remind them that Elijah was taken up alive into heaven. So this is not reincarnation. Elijah did not die then come back as John the Baptist. No, he was taken up alive then came back as John the Baptist. This is not reincarnation as it is written, And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Hebrews 9:27 Since Elijah did not die as Elijah, he did get to die as John the Baptist. Oh how a new ager got mad at me for telling this. Truth is hard to resist. I tore up all my new age books including my Harry Potter books. Going over and over again and again the scriptures. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. Psalm 1:2
