Goodmorning and welcome in everybody. Today, we are going to take a look at a passage of scripture, but before we do that, I wanted to share something with you.
Many times when people decide to get married, they will go in search of a diamond ring. But how would you like to purchase a ring, only to realize later that it was a complete fake?
This reminds me of a Christian Life.
There are many people today who profess to be Christian, who are actually fakes. They appear like sheep, while the truth is that they are only a wolf on the inside. What do you think a wolf wants to do to the sheep? They want to steal them away from faithfulness to Christ. They do this by preaching a false gospel of lies. They appear as ministers of righteousness, but their goal is to trick and to deceive you. They do this by getting you to believe things that are not scripturally true, turning you away from the true faith. They make the attempt to lead you away from obedience to God, just as the devil did in the Garden of Eden. Eve actually believed his lies. This is why I’ve always said that the best defense against the lies of this world, is to be filled up with the truth of God’s Word. Many people today are false imposters, only professing to be believers of God, while the truth is, they only want to lead the sheep away from love for Christ and keeping His commands.
2 Peter 2:1-3 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 bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 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.
When something is false, it means untrue. God’s Holy Word is our source of truth, and this is why we need it filling our hearts and minds each day. When somebody is false, it means that they utter a purposeful falsehood that leads others to believe a lie, such as bearing false witness against others. In this passage, the Apostle Peter warned about these types of false prophets and false teachers, who would only try to deceive you and get you to believe a lie. When somebody is caught up in heresy, they willingly choose to believe a lie over the truth of scripture.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-13 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
Many people are going to follow the pernicious ways of false teachers. Like yeast in bread, these false unbiblical churches are going to explode in growth. The reason why is they preach a candy coated false gospel that people don’t have to turn away from their sins. Remember that we live in a world that is filled with sinfulness. If a person can get to heaven and not change their ways, they are more than likely going to attend that church group. They will flock to it like birds who find a dead carcass on the highway. All it is, is Christianity without repentance and contrition, that would lead them to a genuine change of heart and a changed life. These same people are so far away from the truth of scripture, that when you tell them what it says, they call you an evil liar. They blaspheme against the things of God. They turn these false churches into a money-making scheme, a business that is made for the purpose of increasing their own wealth. Those who follow them are like unto them, only deceiving others and being deceived themselves. When they preach that sin is acceptable, everybody shows up. But all it is, is church filled with sin and disobedience.
2 Peter 2:19-22 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
The Lord Jesus commanded men to preach the Word of God. It is by an acceptance of biblical truth that we can repent and do the right things. Sexuality is meant to be used in a Christian marriage between a man and a wife in their bedroom, but in these latter days, many people have turned to divorce, adultery, promiscuity, fornication and lasciviousness, encouraged by wicked men.
Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Women are now heretically teaching and preaching God’s Word, usurping over mens duties, and the commands of Christ. They wilfully choose to live like this and attend false churches that promise them that they will be in heaven. It’s not a true church, it is a church that is filled up with worldliness and wickedness. It is a church where people are puffed up with the pride of their own sinful living, impenitent and unremorseful. The Apostle Paul warned Timothy that there was going to be a time that these things would happen.
2 Timothy 4:1-4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
So when it comes down to it, If you take somebody to scripture and they reject wholeheartedly what it teaches, then you will know in your heart, the people who are just……
