LIES

Why do lies exist?

Why not truth?

Why would anyone ever lie?

Who would want to know a lie? 

It makes no sense to lie. 

Lies create pain and suffering. 

Lies do not help anyone. 

How could lies exist?

Why would anyone even want to lie?

Truth is easy.

Truth creates peace, joy, and comfort. 

Why choose anything but truth?

IGNORANCE

Ignorance is evil. 

Ignorance creates lies by allowing them to exist. 

When I don’t know, I am susceptible to lies. Someone could lie to me, but I don’t know the truth. 

If I know the truth, then lies are irrelevant, stupid, foolish, and dumb. 

Only ignorance allows lies to exist. 

Those who want lies need to remain ignorant. Thus, they feel the need to silence truth.

Some people love darkness more than light. 

Most people prefer darkness to light because light exposes fantasy.

FANTASY

I want to live a fantasy. 

Why do I want what cannot exist?

Why do I want to know without suffering?

Why do I not desire to sacrifice what I have so I can have more?

Why do I want to eat my cake, and still have it? 

I want what is not true.

I want things to be easy. 

I want health in a pill, so someone can lie to me. They promise to give me what I want, and I believe the lie because I want to believe. 

I want to be nourished by food that tastes good so someone can lie to me and I believe that chocolate frosting is healthy. 

I want to feel good always so I go to health practitioners who tell me what I want to hear. 

The lies are what I want to hear. 

I like lies: You don’t have to die. You don’t have to suffer. You don’t have to sacrifice. You don’t have to work. You can have it all with no cost. 

Play the lottery. 

DESIRE

Lies are born out of desires. 

I want things to last.

I can have what I want of the world forever. 

I need to be filled. 

I need comfort. 

I don’t want to be cold.

I don’t want to be hungry. 

I don’t want to be tired. 

I don’t want to have pain. 

I don't want sorrow. 

I don't want to die. 

I don't want to lose what I need in the world. 

Everything in the world is temporary, but I want my needs to be filled forever. 

I want my temporary life to go on forever. 

I want to be loved. 

I want sex to go on forever. 

I want an endless supply of food. 

I want my needs to be filled eternally. 

I don’t want to sacrifice anything. 

Wants, needs, desires that are of the world are temporary.

It is the temporary nature that leads to lies. 

The lie is that it can be forever. 

The lies come from all those things I want that are not forever. 

SELFISH

Me. 

I want.

I need.

I like. 

Others should sacrifice for me. 

Advertisers promise to give me what I want. 

Businesses provide what people want. 

The lies are all based on desire. 

Eve wanted to have knowledge so Satan lied to her “you must eat the fruit.” 

Adam wanted to be with Eve. 

STEALING

Cain wanted the flocks of Abel. 

Plunder, loot, pillage -- taking what belongs to others is a lie that I earned it. 

Stealing in any form is a lie. 

Whatever can be stolen is not real, including money, and everything it can buy. 

Everything real is earned, or received by keeping a law. 

In truth, nobody gets anything we don’t earn -- EVER! 

Every blessing from God is conditional on a temporal sacrifice. 

Everything real has existential conditions that cannot be faked or stolen. 

GOD

God is not with me, but I need God. 

Why would anyone lie about God?

Why do people create gods of wood and stone? 

Why would anyone believe in the false gods? 

Why would anyone bow to gods that are deaf, dumb, blind, ignorant, and impotent? 

If I create an ignorant god, that makes me a god. 

I create the god I want. 

I want a god that is like Superman, who has the power to do anything I want. 

I want a god like Santa Claus, that will give me gifts just because I’m good. 

I turn to false gods because I want, I need, I like. 

The true God makes me sacrifice my wants and needs and likes. 

A false god gives me what I want. 

The trade is horrible -- I must sacrifice everything I have now for something I cannot see, cannot know, and do not understand. I must sacrifice first, and then learn the truth. 

Truth comes only when I am ready to receive it, when I am willing to give up what I want. 

People live a lie because they want, need, and like. They want the fantasy to be true. They want to believe in temporal things. They want to believe that it is forever. They want the fantasy to go on. They want to have what they like. They want. Desire for temporal things causes all lies. 

FOREVER THINGS 

Those things that I seek that are forever are the truth. 

God is true. God is forever. 

Family is true, Family is forever. 

Heaven is true, Heaven is forever. 

Jesus is true. Redemption is forever. 

To be redeemed from this temporary world, everything must be sacrificed. 

All things of the world are on the chopping block. 

Family, friends, and all relationships that are temporal must be relinquished. 

Money, houses, lands, and career are sacrificed. 

Repentance is the heart turning from lies to truth by giving up the fantasies of the heart. 

Repentance is forever, turning my heart, my wants, needs and desires, to the Lord, the God of truth.
