I'm going to scripture with my 15 year old SON. How much interpretation is needed? Examples?

it is a lie! the whole world is a lie, it is a deceitful place, the world lies in wickedness. how profound a scripture. it describes this world to a T, be careful not to be deceived that is what we must do work not to be overcome by the wickedness of this wicked world but be an overcomer of this wickedness, by the Mercy and in Faith of the True and Living GOD until the LORD Jesus Christ 's soon return. Maranatha!

I agree with shanna and BSP. The world in which we are living now is in the hands of satan and not Jehovah our God. On the same compare "luke 4 verse 5 6 " its a complement to 1 john. And that 's why we always pray, "thy kingdom come... "

Evang. Preston Wealth's comment on 2014-02-15 18:41:25:

Even though we are of God we must take notice that this world is not a friendly place as it is full of evil and wicked acts which is the work of satan

BSP's comment on 2013-10-08 19:22:25:

This verse shows how powerful of a hold that the wicked one, Satan, has on the entire world. When we see the vile and satanic things that happen in the world, this scripture definitely comes to be more clearly understood. That is one reason that we have to fight against being a part of this wicked world by not imitating its attitude, actions, or speech in our own lives.

If we are living by His Spirit and under His Spirit, the world cannot take away what the Spirit has given us.
