Satan has deceived the whole world, and there are many in the church today who follow false doctrines. The church is becoming utterly apostate. So, I am not excluding anyone from this equation.
Except yourself, of course. You clearly know the truth, but everyone else is being deceived. Do you truly not see your arrogance, or do you just enjoy believing you're better than everyone else?
Lucent is not alone in his beliefs and he's not being arrogant, nor preaching that he's superior. It may seem like he's doing that because he's tactfully and assertively defending the gospel of Jesus Christ, but not once has he declared himself above you or anyone. Lucent is a sinner just like me, like you and everybody else. Lucent is saying that he has experienced the transforming power of Jesus Christ in his life and wants to help anyone that desires God to seek God, like he did. His experiences are valid, like yours and filled with the essence of who he is and where his foundation for disbelief AND belief began. I think Lucent is doing an excellent job of making the claims of the Bible of Jesus, clear! It is very hard to convey the understanding that overcomes people when they believe that God is real and the Bible is true. Anyone can have this understanding, all they have to do is be willing to believe and it will become clear to them too.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6
