They have been given up to a debased mind. They do not know God and not willing to accept Him. Therefore they believe the lies.
Romans 1:28
NKJV - 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-11
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.
I agree with you. They are confused and getting insane.
They have been given up to a debased mind. They do not know God and not willing to accept Him. Therefore they believe the lies.
Romans 1:28
NKJV - 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-11
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.
Those are excellent verses. Thanks.
