Lies and Deception
hillsbororiver:
I ran across an article today that got me thinking about all the lies masquerading as truth that we must contend with in this present world, not just in regard to religion but virtually everything.
Now I am not saying the following article is pure unvarnished truth free from any bias or human error but if we consider it's ramifications the world right now is suffering economically for no other reason than deception and ignorance, a type/shadow of why so many are spiritually poor or even bankrupt.
This may sound bizarre but the thought crossed my mind that during the Millennium when Truth reigns in the person of our Lord that it could be possible the resources that were put in place by our Creator will finally be utilized in a fashion that serves humanity into the prosperity and peace we have lacked since Adam was expelled from the Garden of Eden?
Remember it will be a physical Kingdom with Spiritual leadership, just something that my mind took off and ran with this morning.
A very interesting article.....

--- Quote ---Needless to say, the last people to tell us the truth about oil will be the oil producers and oil companies, for they of course have a vested interest in perpetuating the myth that oil is a fossil fuel and that it will soon be exhausted, in order to ratchet up the price for as long as they can. And don’t look to the Russians to enlighten the world with the truth about oil either, for they are surely laughing now that the oil price is approaching $US150 a barrel.

Hmmmm, l've heard something about this before. It's all a money game and a source for some to use as a tool to control... the world?
I think this world will see great and dramatic changes take place when Christ rules. Every corrupt "mountain" of business and government will be brought down. Those who get rich at the expense of the common people will be revealed.
Luke 3:4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying:
"The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
"Prepare the way of the LORD;
Make His paths straight.
Luke 3:5 Every valley shall be filled
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough ways smooth;
Luke 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God."
mercy, peace and love

Interestingly, the Lord had been opening our eyes to the deceptions in the world regarding everything else BUT the church for years before He knew we were ready to hear that big one! ;)
The way we see it, greed and deception are the norm in every single thing/organization/entity that man has his hands on or in. After all, we ARE the beast!
Here is another article you guys might find really interesting. It is called WHY AMERICANS WILL BELIEVE ALMOST ANYTHING. Perception is everything. Very eyeopening....

--- Quote from: ---If the US switched from being a net consumer in the world oil market to becoming a net supplier, the price of oil would plunge, perhaps to around $US30 per barrel, with the result that the world’s economies would boom as never before.

At this time, it costs us $45/barrel just to get the oil to the surface. Am I to believe that the cost involved to extract the oil will go down accordingly?
At today's prices, it costs over 1M just to drill a well. There is no guarantee that the well will be a producer. The majors don't fret this as much as us "Independents."
