This Week's Schedule - Early (again)... and another "Ask Reverend Jack"

This week’s answer to our question of choice we’ll address from the book of 2nd Peter… (Chapter two):

(1) But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that brought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction
(2) And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
(3) And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you; whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
It goes on to say those who lead the children of God to Christ will be blessed…

The question regarding “how can you tell who is a false teacher and who is truly going to represent Christ?”

The false teacher is not going to outwardly deny God and our Savior Jesus Christ – or maybe at times they will…

The key is – they are going to be stealthy and sly, and often very clever with words, expert at debate, and will cleverly lead using correct doctrine in wrong ways to lead away from the path of righteousness…
In other words they will not bring forth good fruits (Matt 7:16), while even professing to do so…

In verse three quoted above – “with feigned words make merchandise of you” – will use the power of position to manipulate in order to control and gain advantage.

If you want to detect the “false teachers” you are going to need some help. Talking will help – get on your knees and ask the one who knows all, and He’ll guide you.

True ministers of Christ will never lead you away from truth. Always use the “map” to refer what you need to see when traveling through the areas false teachers are lurking. The Bible will give you insight to what you need to be looking for – and calling upon the one who drew the map will add in seeing the truth – helping you navigate past the obstacles of false doctrine – even when it’s disguised as true principle.

There’s a reason we call them “wolves in sheep’s clothing… you just need to find the right “sheep-dog”…

“He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him” (1st John 2:4).

God Bless…
