Gaslighting. Also, a convenient cop out for abusive charlatans like victor paul wierwille: "I can't help but to lie, cheat, steal and rape. It is my nature."

Another obstacle in being blinded by the gospel “truth” is believing the following lies about yourself: your heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; you are all as an unclean thing, and all your righteousnesses are as filthy rags; you’re carnal, sold under sin and you’re wretched, just to name a few. However, the fictional Dorothy learned a real human lesson which was to believe in oneself.

One of the attractions and perceived strength of being a bible-believing Christian is the idea of finding "truth." Doing so is building your house upon a rock and being rooted and grounded so you are no longer being tossed to and from with every wind of doctrine. Doubting, as Peter found out when his walk on the water with Jesus began to go south, is never a good idea. Fortunately for Dorothy and her 3 companions, it was the powerful sniff-and-hearing dog Toto who had the sense(s) to discover and reveal the lie about the great and powerful Oz

"..since Jesus is still alive and well, and leading and guiding us in perfect harmony w/ the Holy Spirit.." This is a conventional, even essential, Christian maxim, right? Even the pseudo-Christian charlatan, victor paul wierwille, "taught" Jesus is sitting, alive and well, at the right hand of the Father, right? Albeit, far, FAR away in a distant, inaccessible realm, hence his AND his Father's absence. If he is alive, he didn't die. Not REALLY. And if he didn't die, he wasn't sacrificed. What kind of payment is this if Jesus is still alive? It seems more like he just took a long weekend off. Genuine question: How does this work, theologically?
