“And for this cause God sendeth them. working of error, that they should believe. lie”

“And for this cause”: Because they reject the truth and do not love what God represents. “God sendeth them”: We already know that God does not entice anyone to sin (James 1:13) and neither is He the instigator of false doctrine (James 1:17; 1 John 1:5; Titus 1:2 “God, who cannot lie”). Therefore the word "sendeth" must mean that God permits or allows error and deception to come their way, and will not prevent. person from believing error if that is what they desire (Romans 1:28).

“Working of error”: If one rejects the truth, then the only thing left to believe is error. Note that error is something that is active and working. One cannot embrace just. little false doctrine. “Believe. lie”: From this statement we must draw some conclusions: (a) God will not stop people from rejecting Him and His truth. (b) God will not stop one from believing. lie. Too many people just assume that God would prevent them from believing something that is false. (c) Absolutes do exist, such as truth and error. (d) God will not stand in the way, if one is determined to destroy themselves (Romans 1:18). (e) If one does not love the truth, then one will end up deceived. (f) Religious lies do exist. The wrong doctrine when embraced with cause one to end up lost (2 John 1:9).
