Lies may be inconsequential and conceived spur of the moment. They may be innocuous, only serving the need of the moment.

A Hoax however implies an intent to Deceive people for a particular objective. It requires a plan or strategy for which its Lie serves.

Lies may be projected without any supporting evidence in the hope than no one checks up on the assertion.

A Hoax needs some evidence as it expects scrutiny. So, a successful Hoax must have reasonable assumptions, and non-trivial arguments to support it. It must have an element of truth.

Both a Lie and a Hoax have the intent to Deceive.

A Lie typically has a small audience, maybe even only one person to Deceive.

A Hoax however is generally directed at the masses. Its immediate goal is to garner enough support that its ultimate plan may be effected.

Lying has become a part of how most Americans do business. So, they have become de-sensitized to the threat of Lies.

Politicians Lie, Media Lies, Educators Lie, Businesses Lie, Parents Lie, Entertainers Lie and actually most Religions Lie.

So, we are used to being lied to and have even come to expect it and to account for it.

But even though we are not completely naive, we are still susceptible to the Big Lie - the Hoax.

We persist in trusting people even when we know by experience and in our hearts that it is dangerous to do so.

So, when a well-constructed Hoax is put forth by well-credentialed people and supported by well-considered celebrities, we swallow it despite the fact it may not smell right.

Any Hoax is motivated by Greed and Pride - Greed for Wealth and Power and Pride that one is or knows better and deserves honor.

Though the Hoax may be touted as something in your best interest it does not come from true love and compassion.

Here are some major Lies each of which is actually a Hoax:

1. Evolution is Science
2. God is Dead
3. Free lunches exist
4. Capitalism is Evil
5. Socialism is Good
6. More Government is Good
7. Freedom is Free
8. There is no Judgment Day
9. Man is the answer to man's problems
10. America is Evil
11. People are basically Good
12. You can Trust Government
13. Man-made Climate change is real
14. Doctors Heal
15. Unborn children are not Human
16. Homosexuality is not an affliction
17. Your Mind cannot be poisoned
18. Faith is foolishness
19. COVID-19 is everywhere and it can kill anybody
20. Preserving Life is better than Living Life
21. Fear is a good thing

I could go on but the point is made that our Society has swallowed Lie after Lie and become victims of Hoax after Hoax.

Since each Hoax has a plan we should look at each of the above Lies and determine what is the underlying plan.

Without addressing each Hoax individually I can reveal the general plan:

There is an Enemy of Humanity and he is identified above as a "thief".

This Enemy uses people whom he has deceived to Steal the Truth, to Kill those who oppose him and Destroy all that is Good.

What is the Truth? Christ Jesus is the Truth. God's written Word is the Truth.

The Living Truth said this in the written Truth:

Who is the Enemy trying to Kill? Those who Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.

What is the Enemy trying to Destroy? The Kingdom of God which is in the Minds and Hearts of people and is the source of Good.

Our founding fathers knew this and so set up our Government with checks and balances to head off abuse of power so that it remained in the hands of the people.

We need to Repent (change our thinking) of these Lies and Hoaxs and Receive Christ as Lord, Saviour, Healer and Provider.

We were created by a Loving God who revealed Himself in Christ Jesus as our Heavenly Father. Coming into Relationship with Him through Christ Jesus is each of our Eternal destinies.
