Sorry Nell, but you like to provide a corrective tone, which is not always applicable to others. We should never forget that real failures are part of our walk by faith, as is readily observed in the scriptures. One type of failure is allowing yourself to be deceived for a time by others. I seem to remember that even our Lord Jesus was deceived by Judas. Perhaps our Heavenly Father has provided a special grace to those who taste the same betrayal on earth as His Son did, which otherwise we would have never known.

OK. Point taken.
How can you allow yourself to be deceived? If you "allow" it, you're not deceived.
Jesus is God. He was not deceived by Judas. He was betrayed. I'm not sure what you're saying.
