Delusion
In the biblical context, "delusion" often refers to a state of deception or misbelief that leads individuals away from the truth of God. One significant reference is found in 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12, where it states that God will send a strong delusion upon those who do not love the truth, leading them to believe what is false. This delusion serves as a judgment for those who have rejected the truth of the Gospel, highlighting the serious spiritual danger of turning away from divine revelation.Additionally, in the Old Testament, the concept of delusion can be connected to the idea of folly or misguided wisdom. For example, Proverbs 12:15 states, "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice." This illustrates how delusion manifests as self-deception, where individuals may believe they are on the right path while disregarding godly counsel. Throughout Scripture, delusion serves as a warning against the dangers of pride, ignorance, and the rejection of divine truth.

Strong Delusions
By Paris Reidhead1.9K41:42REV 7:15In this sermon, the preacher discusses the supernatural judgment that descends with increasing severity in the book of Revelation.

The third trumpet involves a great star falling from heaven onto rivers and fountains, contaminating a third of the water sources. Finally, the fourth trumpet strikes a third of the sun, moon, and stars. The preacher emphasizes the importance of seeking Jesus and warns of the dangers of closing one's mind to the truth of God.
The Dawkind Delusion
By Neale Brinkley94537:20EXO 32:31MAT 6:33HEB 10:301PE 2:92PE 2:4In this sermon, the speaker contrasts the viewpoint of Dawkins and his group with the message offered by the Bible. The Bible is presented as a source of hope and a solution to the problems of the world. It is described as recording history with a beginning, middle, and end, starting with God's creation of a perfect world. The speaker emphasizes the severity of the problem of sin and the need for a big solution, which only God can provide. The sermon also addresses misconceptions about the Bible, such as the idea that it promotes slavery, and explains how the Old and New Testaments regulate and eventually bring an end to slavery.
