Are you one who is trying to "snag" a fish with one of these modern lures? You know the one where you paint the face of the lure, to make it more attractive?
Perhaps you even go all out, and have arranged to have a professional artist help to arrange the perception, in the form of a photograph, that another is to perceive as being factual?
Perhaps you have fudged, or rather lied, on your profile, and are trying to make others think something about you, that you know deep down inside is not true?
Are you one, who has gone to great lengths to make others think more highly of you, than they ought to, by having some augmentation, to alter the effects of time?
Maybe you are one of these people who pose beside a motorcycle, car, or truck, to make others think that they just have to be with you, after all, you do want them to think that you are a fun person, and to want to be with you; don't you?
Perhaps you have purchased some new duds, just for that first date? Perhaps you went to great lengths to get a hair cut, fingernails done, car detailed, you know.. you really want them to think better of you, than they would if they caught you just as you are, so you go and put together this grand illusion, all to make them think that you are a real man or woman of God.
Is this what you think building relationships is all about?
Are you resting on the tricks of the world to catch a fish?
Don't you know that it is written, that the Father knows what you have need of before you ask Him?
Aren't you aware that the Word of God states that the Father prearranged all relationships before time began?
"Who has done such mighty deeds, summoning each new generation from the beginning of time? It is I, the LORD, the First and the Last. I alone am he." [Isaiah 41:4]
Why can't you just be yourself, and quit trying to present an illusion?

You mention bait, which to me means that someone is using trickery rather than honesty.
I am myself and if I guy likes that or not, that is up to him. I will confess that I try to be more presentable, but I do not wear something out of the ordinary. I do not act differently than I would otherwise.

The nature of man is such that everyday of his life, or until interrupted by the Father, he is given to trying to do things his way. This is what is known as "the will of man". The will has TWO aspects or functions, "What a man wants" and "What a man does not want". There are men of great cunning in the world who have mastered this to the point that it is referred to as "a dark art". A good example of someone who has matered "the dark arts" would be a CIA agent. They are given to all types of sorcery and secrecy, and underhandedness aimed at changing the sum of time. Lying is altering time in someone else's perspective. Obfuscation, when involving as aspect of controlling mankind, is witchcraft according to the scripture; or rebellion against the Sovereign Right of the Lord to RULE this world; this is also known as "antiChrist", for "in place of God".
We have been spoonfed the dark arts from our mother's wombs, and unless the Lord reveals to us, what true wisdom is as opposed to the false, we will remain under its influences.
The Babylonian Government Game players, aka "the Jew", which is not a valid religion, in the scripture tried to beguile Jesus and trick him into making comments that would cause Him to be killed. This is why this scripture says that they sought to take Him by craft, aka witchcraft:
"After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by CRAFT, and put him to death. But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people." [Mark 14:1]
The Greek word which was translated to be craft, was "dolos", and it means "to catch with bait".
How does this thing called "dolos" operate? It functions through the manipulations of dichotomies by what is known as "dialectics". Dialectics involves the manipulation of the perception of what is believed to be right or wrong.
The Jews, in this case, asked Jesus if it "is lawful to pay taxes"..?
"Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?" [Matt 22:15-17]
This question which was based on the dark arts of dialectics surround the word "entangle", which is the Greek word "pagideuō"; it means "to ensnare or entrap".
The question was designed by these Babylonian priests, aka sorcerers, to end in Jesus' death. The question involved "problem, react, solution," or "thesis, antithesis, and synthesis" In matters involving dialectial manipulation, the thesis if often contrasted against the antithesis, resulting in the synthesis; but sometimes it can begin with the antithesis first, which is contrasted against the thesis, which is still designed to result in the synthesis.
The synthesis, or the end result which these Babylonians were trying to bring about, was the death of Jesus, via their cunning. So, with that in mind, they asked Jesus a question which was designed, whether He answered it "YES" or "NO", to lead to His death.
So, had Jesus said, "No", they were prepared to Roman authorities, who would have executed Jesus for fomenting rebellion, and had Jesus said, "YES", they were prepared to run straight to the people, who did not view the occupation of Rome as just, and at least He would have lost interest in His ministry, and maybe they would have taken up stones to stone Him with.
Either way, Jesus was dead, had He played their game. He proved that He was God, and had wisdom which they could not comprehend, when He said, "Give me a penny". Whose inscription is on it? "Caesar's", they replied. Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar, what is Caesar's, and unto God, what is God's".
Some of the women, and men too, today which claim to be believers, are resulting to using their bodies, vehicles, mammon, and anything they can to get others to fall into their snares.
I hope this will enable you to grasp what this article is about..
Thank you,
a wise man
All governments of men fall under the Babylonian governance game.
