Kidd,
The worst lie being told today, (and believed) is the same one thats been told for the last 2000 years.
That is; Man is basically good and can please God by being good and doing good things.
Man has never fully understood the seriousness and gravity of SIN.
He is incapable of understanding his true condition. It must be pretty bad if it took God Himself coming to earth to deal with the problem.
Man has blamed his situation on lack of education, poverty, and even God Himself. The average person (nonbeliever) simply does NOT want to admit that what is wrong with the world is his OWN heart.
Everybody thinks that they are basically a "good" person; that God would never condem them for such "little inperfections".
Does anybody seriously believe that God Himself would have come to earth and die just for "little inperfections"?
Pride has condemed more people that all of the "fleshly sins" in history.
Nobody likes to believe that their own heart is evil. But until they really admit that it is, they will NEVER understand what God is talking about.
Jesus said. "Be ye therefore PERFECT as your Father in heaven is Perfect" (Matt 5:48)
This SHOULD have given us a clue that we are in desperate need of a SAVIOR. Jesus never made statements just to make statements.
It is obvious what His point was.
It's tragic that most people do not see it.
And all due to SELF-PRIDE
The natural cry of every unbelievers heart is: "We will NOT have this Man to reign over us"
In 2000 years nothing has changed.

The worst lie in my opinion being circulated world wide is that Jesus was immoral and had relations with Mary Magdalene or that they were married.
Maybe not the worst but certainly up there is the lie that we can attain peace in the Middle East. My friend when this comes true (I pray that we will already have been raptured out of here) it will be the beginning of the worst time seen on this earth since time began, the only saving Grace will be the end of time with Christ's victory at Armageddon and the beginning of His thousand year reign.

I think that the biggest lie perpetuated is Bin Laden’s rhetoric about the war where Muslim countries are affected that the Americans are real terrorists. “The only way wise Muslims can deal with such a situation is by liberating the Muslim world from those so-called custodians of Islam who are uneducated, fanatics and devoid of basic decency.”

continually in a debate which comprise this, there will be extremists on the two sides. i think of we do a disservice to handle the clean minority opinion of the two team. maximum atheists do no longer think of "that each and every person Christians are deluded, uneducated, stupid, irrational, incapable of reasoned concept, etc" purely like maximum theists do no longer think of atheists have no morals. there'll continually be the uneducated opinions on the two communities of concept and those are those that should misinform help their shaky ideals. IMO

The same lie that's been told for millennia: "The world and the people are sooooo much more horrible than they were in the last generation. And if we conform to these particular rules, we can get back to that golden age we had 50 years ago when crime and poverty didn't exist."

wow so many to choose from I think the answer is that the dead are already in heaven and can speak to us.---
The subject is; what happens to us when we die. It’s a hard subject. Why does it matter what we believe about what happens to a person when they die? Well, it was Satan’s first lie to Eve in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 3:4 “And the serpent said to the woman, ye shall not surely die.” Is there a question as to who the serpent is; reference Rev.12:9 “That old serpent called the Devil, and Satan.” Could this subject be more important than we think? Why is this important now? Let’s go back to the beginning. What is “a living soul”? Genesis 2:7 Dust and breath, that is what we are dust and breath. Please turn to Genesis 3:19 Dust you are and to dust you return. Let’s look at a controversial text. The book of Ecclesiastes chapter twelve and verse seven, dust to the ground, spirit to God who gave it. So one might ask what is the spirit if not what we commonly call a ghost? First we’ll turn to James it’s a little book right after Hebrews. We’ll read in chapter two verse twenty-six. This chapter is mostly talking about faith without deeds being dead, but here in verse twenty-six it states, “The body without the ‘spirit’ is dead.” Not much, we didn’t already know, but what is this spirit? The book of Job sheds some light on the fact in chapter 27 verse three; Job is talking to his friends about God. He states that as long as he has life in him the breath of God in his nostrils he will not…deny his integrity. It goes back to dust and breath again. So what does happen to a person when they die? Ezekiel 18:20 states that the soul that sins, it shall die. In first Timothy chapter six verses 15 and 16 Paul is talking to Timothy and says God is the only one who is immortal. Let’s see if we can find out where the dead are. What is it like for those that have died? Does the Bible give us any indication? Ps 115:17 “The dead praise not the Lord neither any that go down into silence.” And again in Ecc 9:5, 6 & 10 “For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun.” “Whatsoever thy hand finds to do, do it with all thy might for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” God says the dead know not anything. In the gospels, John chapter 11, when it talks about Lazarus death, in verse eleven Jesus calls death sleep. How many of you, when you get a good nights sleep realize anything that goes on around you between the time you fall asleep and when you wake up? That is what it is like to be dead. Look up at the light. shut those off for one moment? Okay where did the light go? Where did it go? It doesn’t go anywhere. It takes two things to create light, the bulb and electricity. Without both things, there is no light. You can turn them back on now. When a person ceases to breathe the breath goes out of the body and the body; it goes where we bury it to await the resurrection.
Turn to Matthew chapter twenty-four we’ll begin in verse twenty (read through verse twenty-seven) If someone claimed to have a visitation of a much beloved relative and the relative told you to do something that was against God’s principles what would you do? But, what about those mediums who help people, are they bad too? How can we know if someone is from God or not? God says through Isaiah in Isaiah 8:19 & 20 “If they speak not according to This Word, it is because there is no light in them” God does not use the dead to “help” the living. This is a deception of the devil. I want you to write down the following texts to study them when you get home because I will not take the time right now to read them all. Exodus 7:11, 1 Samuel 28:3-25, Daniel 2:2, Acts 16:16-18, Revelation 18:23, and 2 Corinthians 11:13 Satan has used sorcery all throughout the Bible to deceive people and it is predicted that he will continue to do so. Rev. 16:14 and Rev13:13 & 14 What did God command the children of Israel to do to those people who claimed to do sorcery? Let’s read Leviticus 20 verse 27 Now lets turn to the book of Deuteronomy chapter 13 start in verse one (continue to verse five then skip to verse ten) When giving the punishments for various “sins” to the Israelites the Lord reserved stoning for the most serious of offences. Sometime read the book of laws, or Leviticus but especially chapter twenty.
Are we really sure that our loved ones are not in heaven now? Let’s close with reading a couple more texts. The first text is found in Acts 2; Peter is talking to the crowd about Jesus resurrection. The part of the dialogue I want us to concentrate on begins in verse twenty-two and ends in the first part of verse 34. David, the King David, is dead and buried and has not ascended to heaven. When will we expect to see our loved ones again? First Thessalonians chapter four verses 15 though 18 answers this question for us. One minute a person is alive and what will seem to them as the next minute God will call them from their graves. And finally, Revelation chapter twenty-one verses one through five, we go to heaven together with our loved ones when Christ comes again and there will be no more death or crying. Won’t that be a glorious day? I can hardly wait. Won’t you wait with me today?

Just because something isn't "of" God doesn't mean He's against it!
All the lies that remove Jesus from everything and blinds us slowly.
