Kindred,

"For many are called, but few are chosen.”

                                            - Matthew 22:14

It is up to the Lord who of the few are chosen.  

No manipulation, coercion or lies will change the truth or change the truth of the Lord choice.  

You can fake intelligence, but not wisdom.  

Overtime, the consequences of this difference will be stark, especially in the difference between salvation and damnation, heaven and hell.
