GOSPEL OF THE DESCENT OF THE KINGDOM
Words of God on this topic:
If you have a lot of hypocrisy, then you have a wary heart, and your thoughts are full of suspicions about everything and everyone. For this reason, your faith in Me is built on a foundation of suspicion. I will never accept this kind of belief. If you lack genuine faith, you will move even further away from real love. And if you are able to doubt God and speculate about Him, then you are undoubtedly the most treacherous of people. You speculate on whether God could be like a man: unforgivably sinful, petty in character, devoid of decency and prudence, lacking a sense of justice, prone to vicious tactics, cunning and cunning, who delights in evil, darkness and the like. Isn't the reason a person has such thoughts because he doesn't have the slightest knowledge of God? This type of belief is nothing other than sin! Moreover, some even believe that those pleasing to Me are only flatterers and sycophants, and that those who do not have such abilities will be unwelcome in the house of God and will lose their place there. And this is all the knowledge that you have painstakingly collected over all these years? Is this what you have found? And your knowledge of Me is not limited to these false ideas; even worse is your blasphemy against the Spirit of God and reproach of Heaven. This is why I say that this type of belief as yours will only lead to you becoming even more alienated from Me and opposing Me even more.
from “How to Know God on Earth” in The Word Appears in the Flesh
All those who believe in God but do not seek the truth cannot in any way be saved from the influence of Satan. All those who do not live honestly, who have one behavior in public and another behind people’s backs, who appear to be full of humility, patience and love, but at their core are treacherous, cunning and lack devotion to God - all these people are typical representatives those who live under the influence of darkness. They belong to the snake family. Those whose faith in God is always for their own gain, those who are hypocritical and arrogant, those who boast and defend their own position - these are all those who love Satan and resist the truth. They oppose God and belong entirely to Satan. Those who are inattentive to the burdens and burdens of God, who do not serve God with all their hearts, who are constantly occupied with their own interests and the interests of their family, who are unable to renounce everything to devote themselves completely to God, and who do not live in accordance with His words— they all live outside the words of God. Such people cannot qualify for God's praise.

Subsequently, on the way forward, you must not trick, deceive or cheat, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! You still do not understand what deception and deceit are. Any actions and behavior that you cannot allow Me to see are deceit and deceit. Now you should understand this! If in the future you begin to deceive and deceive, then do not pretend that you do not understand - this will only aggravate the guilt, since it will be a deliberate violation. As a result, you will be burned by fire or, even worse, you will kill yourself.
from chapter 45, “The Words of Christ at the Beginning of the Age” in The Word Appears in the Flesh
Some people always wave the church flag no matter what they do, but in reality it is for their own benefit. Such a person lacks the right motives. He is twisted and dishonest, and most of what he does is for his own gain. Such a person does not strive to love God - his heart still belongs to Satan and cannot turn to God. There is no way for God to get such a person.
from “Genuine Love for God is Spontaneous” in The Word Appears in the Flesh
you should know that God likes an honest man. God has the essence of faithfulness, and therefore His word can always be trusted. Moreover, His actions are flawless and undeniable. This is why God likes those who are absolutely honest with Him... You must know whether you have true faith and true loyalty; can you confirm that you suffered for God, and are you completely submissive to God? If this is lacking, then disobedience, deception, greed and murmuring still remain in you. Because your heart is far from honest, you have never received positive recognition from God and have never lived in the light. What a person’s fate ultimately turns out to be is entirely determined by whether his heart is honest and scarlet, and whether his soul is pure. If you are a very dishonest person, if there is malice in your heart, if you have an unclean soul, then it is destined for you to be where a person suffers punishment. If you profess to be completely honest, but are never able to act the truth or speak the word of truth, do you still expect God to reward you? Do you still trust that God will protect you like the apple of His eye? Well, isn't it absurd to think like that? You deceive God in everything, and therefore how can you place someone like you, someone whose hands are unclean, in the house of God?
from “Three Exhortations” in The Word Appears in the Flesh
If you are completely unwilling to reveal your secrets, in other words, your complexities, to others in order to seek the path of light, then I say that you are one who will not receive salvation easily and who will not easily come out of the darkness. Now God has given people a way to practice, and if you do not practice in this way, but simply proclaim slogans and doctrines, then it will not be easy for you to get saved. It really has to do with salvation. Being saved is very important for every person. Has God mentioned this anywhere else? Elsewhere He rarely mentions the difficulty of being saved, but He speaks about it in the context of honesty: if you don't do this, it will be very difficult to save you. “It is not easy to be saved” means that you are difficult to save, and you are unable to choose the right path to salvation, so it is impossible to save you. God says this to give people some leeway; that is, you cannot be saved easily, but on the other hand, if you put God's words into practice, then you will have hope and you can be saved. If you never put God's words into practice, if you never reveal your own secrets or difficulties, never tell anyone about these personal things or open up to people about them, never talk to people about them, never reveal them to people, to expose yourself, there will be no way to save you. Why is that? If you do not expose and reveal yourself in this way, your corrupt character will never change. And if you cannot change, then you can forget about salvation. This is what God means by these words, and this is God's will.
Why did God always emphasize that people should be honest? Because it is so important and directly related to whether you can be saved... God needs honest people. If you are unclean, treacherous, dishonest and treacherous, then you are not an honest person, and if you are not an honest person, then there is no chance that God will save you, and you cannot be saved.
from "The Most Basic Practice of Being an Honest Man" in Recordings of Christ's Talks
Everything in Me is righteous, and there is absolutely no unrighteousness, no deception, no crookedness; Anyone who is crooked and deceitful must be a fiend of hell, must be one who is born in the underworld. Everything is open in Me; everything that I said to do is done, and everything that I said to do is done, and no one can change or surpass these things, because I am one of a kind God Himself.
from chapter 96, “The Words of Christ at the Beginning of the Age” in The Word Appears in the Flesh
Excerpts from sermons and talks for reference:
Deceitful people not only deceive others, they are also deceitful towards God, because that is their nature. We can see their nature in the way deceitful people treat the word of God: they constantly take the word of God with distrust, and they do not believe it. In this, deceitful people are completely different from honest people. Honest people are very simple-minded. They believe everything God says, they obey everything God says, and they do exactly what God requires. Therefore, God loves the honest and blesses them. Honest people are those who can most easily receive the work of the Holy Spirit. A deceitful person is the exact opposite. No matter how God speaks, a deceitful person always experiences distrust, whether this is an evil intent, or whether it is cunning. It is not easy for such people to accept and implement this. Not only are deceitful people suspicious of God's word, they are also good at studying God's work. They always want to reveal God's true motives so that they can make a deal. It is clear that deceitful people are very skillful at bargaining. The philosophy of deceitful people is the principle: “you give me, I give you”; their philosophy is not to miss the benefit. They even try to bargain with God regarding their faith. Such people invariably wonder whether they will be blessed or cursed by their faith, and are even more anxious whether they belong to God's people or are service-doers. They are constantly immersed in calculations, and every day when this issue is not clarified by them, they will never calm down and will not strive for life. Lying people are cunning foxes and the most cunning of people. For this reason, God hates liars most of all; He no longer wants to waste energy on them or speak to them. Deceitful people always find fault with God's words: they search His words for inconsistencies in logic and grounds for argument. Because deceitful people approach God's words with feelings of doubt, rebellion, rebellion, and unbelief, they are completely deprived of the work of the Holy Spirit. When they read God's word, they do not receive even a modicum of enlightenment, and therefore they turn out to be extremely awkward and awkward. In fact, there is absolutely no contradiction in God's words, but they still find many contradictory places and get themselves into difficult situations. This shows especially clearly their deplorable condition as people who are not enlightened by the Holy Spirit and lack spiritual understanding. From the way deceitful people approach God's word, it can be seen that by their nature, liars undeniably exhibit the satanic nature that opposes God. All those who approach God's word with a sense of doubt and unbelief are essentially liars who will not find truth in God's words without any doubt; They have only one fate - to be eliminated.
from the book “Conversations from Above”
The phenomenon of pathological deception
Sometimes the habit of confusing others with false information takes over a person so much that he himself believes that he is telling the truth. Such individuals do not even realize how strongly dependent they are. Pathological lies become a real obstacle to a full life in society. People around them are not inclined to take lovers of writing seriously. The circle of contacts of these individuals narrows, and they turn into outcasts. In addition, such people sacredly believe in the truth of their words. Therefore, when others accuse a liar of deception, he may be sincerely offended and begin to make excuses.
How to recognize a lover of lies? The next section of the article talks about the obvious signs that are characteristic of abnormal behavior of this kind.
How to identify a disorder?
A conversation with a specialist allows you to diagnose and understand what the problem is. However, many deceivers are in no hurry to go to the doctor. They feel shame and embarrassment. And only the threat of family and friends to stop communicating gives a person an incentive to decide on this serious step. After all, no one wants to be lonely and rejected. A psychologist helps to identify the origins of pathological lying, the reasons that led to the emergence of this personality trait.
Having found out why and for what purposes people lie, you can explain to them how to find other ways to implement their plans and successfully communicate with others. There are no medications that cure deception. Only working on yourself is an effective method of eliminating the problem.
Manifestations of a pathological tendency to deceive
The obsessive urge to write doesn’t just appear. Its origins must be sought in the past, in childhood grievances or shocks. Sometimes a constant desire to lie is characteristic of people who have mental and personal difficulties.
Symptoms of pathological lying are characteristic and pronounced. To identify them, you need to listen well to a person’s speech and analyze the details. A person prone to deception may retell one story many times. However, in his narratives the writer contradicts himself. There are constant inconsistencies in the details of the stories. A liar simply does not notice them. Pathological liars tend to tell lies about such significant things as illness or the death of relatives and friends. Such a feature becomes an unpleasant trait for others, who at first take the words of the writer as truth. Of course, they sometimes have to experience anxiety. Anyone who is prone to abnormal lies believes that he is not doing anything wrong. If he is convicted of a crime, the person tries to justify himself (the documents were lost, and friends who saw everything with their own eyes cannot get in touch).
Is this phenomenon considered a mental disorder?
The tendency to tell lies can be both a personal characteristic and a sign of illness. Pathological lying in psychiatry is indicated as a manifestation of schizophrenic disorder. Patients with a similar diagnosis are haunted by visions and delusions. As a result, they present fictitious information as truth.
Sometimes a person behaves too emotionally. Such individuals show feelings very violently: they cry loudly, laugh. These are patients with hysterical neurosis. They are also characterized by the desire to constantly lie in order to attract the attention of loved ones and acquaintances. Pathological lying is combined with the diagnosis of hypochondria. Such individuals regularly visit doctors, trying to convince them that they are sick, and they themselves believe it. However, tests indicate no health problems. Others evaluate the complaints of an anxious hypochondriac as deception.
The desire to constantly lie is characteristic of individuals who cannot adapt to society. They often commit illegal actions: they steal, they cheat.
