13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. - 2 Timothy 3:13-15.

To manipulate scripture, and men - is to decieve yourself. Thinking you know better than God. That thing man does to try to place law on people to get them to do certain things.. is deception. Men deceiving and being deceived. The oldest trick in the book is - to try to hold men back by deception. Men deceiving and being deceived.

How are people deceived? Let's work it out.

My belief is that people tend to believe whatever they want to believe. Given two choices of equal uncertainty they choose what is most convenient for them. The most convenient thing to believe is that which they can fit into their world view. And their worldview is shaped by ideas imposed on them by others. Ideas are inspired, either by demons or God. Ideas from demons are intended to lead people further from the Truth, and of Jesus Christ. They Glorify man rather than God. They cause confusion where there was none.
