Is It Wrong For God To Send A Deluding Influence On People? by OLAADEGBU(m): 4:28pm On May 27, 2015
Is it wrong for God to send a deluding influence on people so they will not be saved?

"And for this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they might believe what is false" (2 Thess. 2:11).

Why would God send a deluding influence on people so they would believe what is false? Isn't that morally wrong?

"for this REASON..... " . For what reason? The answer lies in the latter part of verse 10.

God does not mind that we criticise Him as long as it is constructive and we are willing to learn from it.

It is unfortunate that most people who have issues with the Bible never consider the context or what was the cause of an action! They only consider the action and the only culprit they see is God.Op since you started by quoting a verse, why not quote the Two preceding and succeeding verses to the one quoted. When man makes a choice, he needs to realise that he has also chosen the consequence of that choice and this is what many are either not seeing or are refusing to see in the Bible. The Divine action stated in the verse is the consequence of a choice. Not just an arbitrary, unprovoked deed.

Suggested answers:

Verses 8-9 are speaking of the arrival of the antichrist. Verse 10 speaks about those who rejected the truth. Verse 11 says for this reason God sends a deluding influence on them, so they would believe what is false.

Paul is telling us that God will send a deluding influence to those who are already rejecting the truth (v. 10), so they would believe what is false regarding the coming antichrist. God isn’t sending a deluding influence upon those believing the truth but upon those who reject it. This isn’t wrong since they are already believing what is false. Their judgment is right because they did "not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness," (v. 12). It's like God saying, "You want to follow lies and wickedness? Okay, so be it. Believe your lies!"

This is the same as God judging those who reject His truth by giving them over to the lusts of their hearts (Rom. 1:24), their degrading passions (Rom. 1:26), and their depraved mind (Rom. 1:28). God judges the hearts and minds of people so that they will be strengthened in their rebellion. He gives them more of what they want, and their coming judgment is proper.

God has the right to execute judgment upon all who would believe lies and seek wickedness.
