@Jodi Was it not the greatest lie ever created was when the devil convinced the world he doesnt exist. That makes men god, and without God there is no judgement.
Mar_1:13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
Hi mjhealth,
Once again I want to bring up what is the clear given truth,
Genesis makes it clear in the beginning that it is man’s OWN IMAGINATION that gets him into trouble.
5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that
every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake;
for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth.
Deuteronomy and Chronicles,
19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace,
though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed:
for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.
9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
Proverbs,
18 A
heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Lamentations
60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and
all their imaginations against me.
61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and
all their imaginations against me;
Jeremiah makes it VERY clear
24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and
in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
14 But have
walked after the of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but
walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart:
10 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which
walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.
12 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold,
ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:
12 And they said, There is no hope: but
we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say
unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
Luke 1:51 He hath shewed strength with his arm;
he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Paul,
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but
became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Casting down imaginations, and
every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
But there is MUCH MORE,
Proverbs 1:31 Therefore shall they
eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their OWN devices.
Jeremiah 4: 22 For
my people is foolish,
they have not known me; they are sottish children, and
they have none understanding:
they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Ezekiel 13: 3 Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit,
and have seen nothing!
Jeremiah 23:16 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain:
they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. 17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto
every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
Spiritual wickedness is the wickedness of men according to their OWN imaginations.
Revelations 18: 23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee:
for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Ephesians 4: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine,
by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby
they lie in wait to deceive;
James 1:8
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.....14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Phillipians 3:19 Whose end is destruction,
whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame,
who mind earthly things.)
1 John 2:16 For
all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh, and
the lust of the eyes, and t
he pride of life, is not of the Father, but is
of the world.
Mark 4:19 And
the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and
the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
John 12:31 Now
is the judgment of this world:
now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
1 Corinthians 2:5 That
your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written,
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received,
not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Matthew 6:23
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Jude 1: 10 But
these speak evil of those things which they know not:
but what they know naturally,
as brute beasts, in those things
they corrupt themselves.11 Woe unto them! for
they have gone in the way of Cain, and
ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should
walk after their own ungodly lusts. 19 These
be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit...22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man
beholding his natural face in a glass:...26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and
bridleth not his tongue, but
deceiveth his own heart, this
man's religion is vain.
