You can fool some of the people some of the time and all of the people some of the time, POSSIBLY you can fool all of the people all of the time. but you can't fool God 'For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.'(Ecclesiastes 12:14) No you can't fool Him my friend, not even once. He will bring every deed into judgment, EVERYTHING! ↗
