I have written a series of articles about what the Bible calls
"Evil communication" ( 1Corinthians 15:33).
They are stumbling blocks which we must leap over; and they could be persons, attitudes or thought patterns which Christians must identify and avoid , even before they trip over them and fall.
{Isaiah 57:14}.
Here is the first of them, "Jekyll and Hyde".

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde , is the original title of a novella written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson that was first published in 1886.
"Jekyll and Hyde Syndrome " is a term coined to describe the rare mental condition often spuriously called "split personality", wherein within the same person there are at least two distinct personalities , for good and evil . "Jekyll" is the good , public face and "Hyde " is the secret "evil " character, all in one person.
These are characteristics adopted by a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next !

The Jekyll and Hyde syndrome is a disease of the mind and it is also a lifestyle, deliberately chosen by fraudulent persons with the aim of presenting evil as "good" to defraud others.
"They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper ". Isaiah 59:5.

These characters set out to deceive by masking their evil lifestyles with false appearances of good character.

Who wouldn't be impressed by a decent first impression?
Concealment of evil by presenting false "glossy pictures " of who they are not , is therefore vital to the Jekyll and Hyde's games of deception.

When dealing with split personalities what you see is not what you get.
Success for the two-faced person is sure when their art of deception is mastered by keeping their prey in the dark about their true identities , intentions and lifestyles.

Some doctors and nurses have been exposed as serial killers of defenceless patients in their care.
Priests in whose charge young boys and girls were kept , whose duty it was to teach and nurture them and to protect them from the "wicked world"; have turned out to be wolves let loose into the midst of lambs.
