How can people be so deceived as to support war, invasion, murdering of hundreds and thousands of people?
Aren’t they able to look up firsthand info from Ukraine?Can’t they directly contact and ask Ukrainian people, including their numerous relatives?
The biblical answer as always goes to the heart of the matter, pun intended.
“will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears WANT to hear”
Proverbs 17:4
“An evildoer listens to wicked lips, a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue”
Proverbs 17:4
So, what motivates Russians to like war and approve aggression, murder, violence?
Pride has always been acknowledged as the root of sin.
One more important factor of this willful deception is the tendency of fallen people to judge.
This hateful desire to judge is very strong in the Russian society.
When Ukraine is suffering (even from their own Russian hands!) Russians interpret it as proof that Ukraine deserves it.
-
“It is their internal conflict”,
-
“It’s not that obvious”,
-
“There is a complicated history and I should not conclude that only one side is guilty”,
-
“If that nation is experiencing war, probably they have done something and they deserve it.”
