Sorry 'bout that! I appreciate your thoughts as always, and I was just teasing with you anyway

If you read my first post, you'd see where I did agree that deception does try to mix in with truth. I also believe, as you posted, there is evil and good, tares and wheat, positives and negatives, truth and deception in this world; however, I do not believe they are together in the life of a believer. As I stated then, the Bible says it's either righteousness OR unrighteousness, light OR darkness, Christ OR belial. Never do these mix together.
Let me ask you a question: do you believe God is wicked?

I'll let the Lord answer for himself:
Isaiah 45:5-7
5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness:
I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
