Evil Creates Confusion

1John 2:26 I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. Truth is clarity. It is light, and it enables us to see clearly. But evil trades in the fog, in the darkness. Evil creates confusion. It wears a disguise to hide what it really…

John Bunyan Describes a RASN Perfectly in “The Life and Death of Mr. Badman”
