Well I believe he was talking about people that think they can be ''saved'' from the penalty of sin without being ''saved'' from sin because they love unrighteousness.
I believe the strong delusion is their belief that they are ''saved'' from the penalty of sin.
This is not condemnation it is reproval maybe even rebuke, but we are commanded in scripture to do this.
2nd Timothy 4
1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

I think you should do a couple of things 4runner.
1. Be honest before God, and understand how wicked it is to accuse anyone who doesnt believe they will
attain perfection, because first it has never happened, second scripture wont back it up, in fact quite the opposite, third, your not,so you have no proof, but scriptures you take in a wooden fashion and fail at this
time to see their intent. And you label them as evil doers, or people who love to sin, or are ok with sin, all
just plain false accusations(and youve said worst) towards those who love the Lord and resist sin by grace, just because they dont agree with your doctrine. Its a very wicked thing to accuse someone of something you havnt any proof of. If you said that in my church they would show you the door. Quit abusing this forum. And walk upright. Its a lie to falsely accuse. Your logical deductions are not logical. there called
slander.
2 No your thess2 context doesnt hold up your doctrine. Dont handle the word of God deceitfully.
Received not the Love of the truth has nothing to do with a doctrinal difference, especially like this one.
These are people who outright reject the preaching of the cross, and the grace of God. If someone has to worry about the delusion to come over the church, id say the cocky selfassured man would have the most to worry about. Spouting belief about a doctrine means nothing, it will be tested. The love of the truth is receiving the gospel message.So let a little air out of your tires. The love of God is the biggest test the bible
gives for the assurance of salvation, and that is tested by how you love the brethren, this includes people you dont like, and people with different understandings of scripture. Not your buddies, all the brethren.
Look how silly this is...Ok its judgementday...and all the faithful saints who stayed obedient to the death
lined up and they cant go in because God deluded them so they would believe a lie, because they didnt believe they would ever be perfect on earth even tho they walked towards it because that was the Holyspirits intent to have us walk towards perfection while in that action give us the grace to perform but Oh how they did their best keeping themselves abiding in him, trusting and praying for His daily grace. But you will go in although you never became perfect, but believed you would, even falsely
accusing people without two witnesses, nor did you get an admission of careless sinfulness, in fact they were holier than you, because they put their trust in the Lord, and believed that the word said that He would sanctify and glorify His children and conform them into the image of His dear Son. Like Paul said, that he was persuaded that God would finish His work in him that he committed to God. Right I can see the big
reason these should perish, its because they read the bible and didnt come up with the right doctrine, they
believed what was written and the testimony of the church since it started. How you can feel comfy with
this is beyond me. Im ok with you because I was young too. And I dont expect you to not need time to learn and grow. But the slander has got to stop. If not remember the Fathers got a woodshed.
One last thing, saved people dont believe in sinning freely, how you can think that is beyond me.
Repentance is the first step in salvation...your talking about people who have never repented by the Power
of the Holyspirit. No way do you get drawn by the Holyspirit and given the realization of your true condition
like the sermon on the mount shows, a total sence of spiritual poverty, followed by a hunger and thirst for righteousness, which is an obvious inference of hatred of sin. Those that resist the Holyspirits drawing and
stay in sin because thats how they roll are the ones that will be deluded to help out with the NWO this is in context to the days of the man of sin, hasnt hapenned yet.
