This video and the comments posted underneath are heartbreaking. These poor souls don't realize that they are both deceiving themselves and being actively deceived by the devil.

What people don't realize is that we are also truly *children* of God in the sense that we are naturally naive and easily manipulated, just like literal children are. This is why the Word of God emphasizes that we need to trust in our Heavenly Father and not lean on our own understanding.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6, MEV)

"Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your body, and strength to your bones." (Proverbs 3:7-8, MEV)

"There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death." (Proverbs 14:12, NKJV)

It's not just that we lack the wisdom and understanding to know better, but because of our fallen state we are naturally prone to commit evil. I and many others can attest that the devil is real and he's evil beyond human comprehension. It is his goal to deceive you and tempt you to commit all sorts of sins so that you stand condemned. Believing in Jesus and accepting Him as your Lord and Savior will help give you a blessed life while on earth on top of eternal life in Heaven. Please open your heart to Him. It's never too late to change your life around and love your Heavenly Father. He is waiting for you with open arms.
