“But evil men shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”—2 Tim. 3:13

Charles Curtman – 3h · TAQIYYA AND TRUTH – 2 Tim. 3:13

“But evil men shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”—2 Tim. 3:13

Taquiyya is a concept presented in the Koran that justifies and encourages Muslims to lie, deceive and mask their true beliefs if and when it serves to help them spread Islam and/or promote its ideology and agenda (Islam does in fact, by the purest of definition, fit the definition of being an ideology far more than it does that of being a religion).

Jehovah’s Witnesses take the same negative approach as Muslims do to honesty and forthrightness in order to fool the masses and gain converts. They call their concealment of what they really believe, and their outright lying about other things, “theocratic war strategy.” Their position is that “hiding the truth by action and word for the sake of the ministry” is justified, and that it is proper to “hide the truth from God’s enemies.”

The doctrine of deceit adopted and codified in their writings of of Muslims, Jehovah’s Witnesses and others like them is wicked and warped. When deceit is made a matter of doctrine. a right of passage and a duty by ideologues or politicians it is wicked and warped and dangerous. This is most especially so when it approved, adopted and applied as a matter of “religious strategy.” And many religions and cults other than Muslims and Jehovah’s Witnesses are applying this strategy of lies today in order to gain, retain and exploit converts in a number of ways.

Religions that originate with human beings (whether it is Islam which had its origin with Muhammed in 622 AD or the Jehovah’s Witnesses and their Watch tower Society which began with Charles Taze Russell at the end of the 19th century AD) are founded on lies and inspired and empowered by the father of lies” (John 8:44).

Real Christianity (not modern day counterfeits that claim to represent Christianity) has a divine Founder. Its ‘Founder” is Jesus Christ, who is the very Personification of Truth. He, while here on earth, established the New Testament Church and commissioned it to communicate Christian truth, as it is clearly revealed in the New Testament Scriptures, throughout all the nations of the world.
