To all who say that they believe all religions and therefore support all narritives of life: Then you all allowing yourselve to be deceived and that willingly: Bible warns and reminds us: BE NOT DECEIVED! Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 1 Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Ezekiel 14:9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel. Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

Tips for studying and improving grades in case you also wanna go into a good uni or college: 1. Take notes while in class (make sure your writing is neat and clean to understand it clearly). 2. Review your notes and past test papers multiple times everyday, and then test yourself. 3. Watch videos related to what your struggling with recommend doing and/or learning the basics, before getting to the hard part. 4. Say positive affirmations to not bring your hope and confidence down, remember your grades doesn't define who you are it defines your potential and knowledge throughout the class years. 5. This is just extra but study with the smart person in class so that you can ask questions and for help, depends if they are nice enough and don't forget to tell them about your grades and struggles so they take you seriously.
