We are living in a narcissistic country among narcissistic people.
Everything the narcissist hears or sees is interpreted in terms of how they wish to hear or see it not what has actually been said or done.
If someone in our culture doesn't like what you are saying they will accuse you of the WAY you said it while completely ignoring the message. This is a deflection to distract from the real problem.
If the narcissist can accuse you of something then they don't have to take responsibility for their own mess.
In the narcissist's mind if you have a flaw then you are all bad, therefore they don't have to listen to anything you say. So the tactic is to accuse the delivery while ignoring the real issue.
We see this demonstrated on steroids in our culture right now with the riots. Violent people who are creating anarchist communities while building walls around them have been the ones angry that a president would want to build a wall. They accuse law-abiding citizens of being evil in making rules to protect others while they loot, rape and murder within their own walled communities.
Narcissists are liars because their father is the devil, the father of lies.
John 8:44
44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
Once we realize what we are dealing with, that is devils causing illusions in the minds of people who have no defence against him, we can fight with the weapons God has given us.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 "…3 For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh. 4 The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We tear down arguments, and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.…"
The two most important things in these last days is to speak the truth of the gospel to unbelievers and to keep ourselves from being tainted by the world.
Romans 12:2
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
Colossians 3:2
"Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth."
Matthew 28:19-20
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
