Proverbs 11:

***

***

There are people who do not have a love of the truth in either secular or spiritual matters. A woman showed this to me when she just made up ideas about a secular subject without checking facts. It is so easy to see facts today by going to internet. But this woman just imagines what she thinks to be right without checking. I decided to turn from her the last time I saw this. I just walked away from her and stopped sharing either secular or spiritual things.
II Thessalonians 2:10-12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
