The Very Elect

Matthew 24:24

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.  

More than once I have had either friends or family suggest to me that my beliefs, whether Mormonism in general, or this new-fangled "stuff" I seem to believe in, is deception.  I pose the three questions, for all who may read.

If one utilizes scripture to understand the word of God, is the likelihood high or low that they will be deceived?

If one is neglecting scripture, is the likelihood high or low that they will be deceived?

Where do you fall in your beliefs?

  2. Truly there are false prophets. Who was able to determine the true from false when John the baptist cried from the wilderness? What works do true prophets demonstrate? What works do false prophets demonstrate? Does it have something to do with "behold we prosper and we shalt also prosper."
