Your comment about "deception" is an interesting observation, however as a Christian, your article leaves me with no sort of comfort. What comfort is there for a Christian when he or she reads this?

Where is the mention of our sins forgiven by our Savior's death? Where is the mention of Grace, God's undeserved love for us? Where is the comfort knowing that although there will be many deceivers God's Word will still be preserved in its truth and purity and can easily be found in the Bible?

Hebrews 10:19-25 (NIV)
"19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
