I

That God asks for people to be honest proves that He truly loathes deceitful people. God’s dislike of deceitful people is a dislike of their way of doing things, their dispositions, their intents and their methods of trickery; God dislikes all of these things. If deceitful people are able to accept the truth, admit to their deceitful dispositions, and are willing to accept God’s salvation, then they too have a hope of being saved—for God treats all people equally, as does the truth.

People always rely on lies, pretense, and trickery while living among others, and use satanic philosophies as the basis of their existence, their lives, and the foundation for their comportment. This is something that God loathes. Only honest people can prosper in God’s house, and deceitful people will eventually be forsaken and eliminated. All of this is preordained by God. Only honest people can have a share in the kingdom of heaven. If you don’t try to be an honest person, and if you don’t experience and practice in the direction of pursuing the truth, then you will never be able to receive the Holy Spirit’s work and gain God’s approval.
